Very slow transfer of music from itunes to ipod - suggestions?

It's taking up to 10 minutes for each track to transfer from itunes to my ipod. This was not a problem until yesterday. No new software downloaded or any other changes that I can think of. Using itunes 9 & 2nd generation ipod mini. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

HI,
Make sure there is sufficient disk space on your PBook.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.

  • Can't transfer purchased music from iTunes to iPod

    When I try to transfer purchased music from my Itunes music folder to my iPod, I get the following error message: "Some of the iTunes Store files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because the iPod may only contain content from five iTunes Store accounts."
    What I have done to try to address the problem: I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, (it was only after this download, actually, that I began to have the problem) read the help article entitled "Some songs in iTunes won't copy to iPod", de-authorized and then re-authorized the computer (didn't work) and gone through my iPod to delete any songs that were on burned cds given to me by friends, which potentially originated from other iTunes accounts.
    Perhaps I have overlooked something, but my iPod is only registered on three computers, and I am unable to transfer my purchased music to my iPod. Interestingly, I had no problem transfering my purchased songs onto my iPod before upgrading to the latest version of iTunes last month. It has only been since the upgrade that I can no longer transfer purchases. I subscribe to several podcasts through National Public Radio (free)-- could this be a factor?
    Please help. I still have 19 GB of free space and if I can't transfer purchases, then it's kind of a waste of space. Thanks so much for your time~

    Greetings from Mancunia.
    I am having a similar problem. After years of trouble free use, my 'pod is now giving me trouble, well the new iTunes software is, anyway. See here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=255305&tstart=0
    Why can't I add my new downloaded tunes to my pod? ARRRRGH!
    help me!

  • Slow transfer rate Music from iTune to iPhone

    Hello,
    I am brand new user of iPhone. I am transferring some of my songs from iTune to iPhone but the transfer rate seems slow. I have a iPod Nano and compare to that iPhone transfer rate is way slower than my Nano.
    For example, the song
    "break on through (to the other side)[Remix]" by The Doors,
    which is 7:07 long and 6.7MB in file size, took 10 seconds to transfer
    The same song took only 2.3 seconds on my Nano.
    Does this make sense? Or is there a problem?
    thanks

    I'm not positive, but I believe the 3rd generation iPod syncs via firewire, but maybe the 3rd generation iPod supports syncing via firewire or USB.
    Data transfer via firewire is much faster than data transfer via USB 1.1 or 2.0. I for one wasn't very happy about Apple no longer supporting syncing via firewire with iPods - I thought Apple did this for the Windows market only, and basically they did since many PC ugly box assemblers didn't include a firewire port and firewire didn't catch on and gain enough momentum in the market as an overall, which is a shame. Data transfer via firewire is much faster and more reliable IMO.
    Anyway, are you positive you are syncing your iPod via USB and not via firewire?

  • Very slow transfer of songs from itunes

    Hi
    Don't know if this is an itunes problem, a problem with my phone or what but I noticed in the last few days that when I go to transfer a ripped CD of say 10 songs from itunes to my iphone 4S it does two things:
    1. It says there are about 21 or more songs in a cd of 10 songs
    2. It transfers the songs really slowly. Before it was over and done with in less than a minute.
    anyone have any ideas? I tried changing USB port, I'm still set for manual sync on itunes

    Did you find a solution?

  • Can't transfer certain music from iTunes to Ipod.

    Hi there. I downloaded a live performance to iTunes from a website. The music won't transfer to my iPod. All of the songs have the "radio" icon next to them. I right clicked them and there is no option to change them to AAC format. The songs are saved on my hard drive, but just the URL. Can't burn them to a CD either. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time!

    There's an app called WireTap Pro:
    http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wiretap/
    It records any and all audio on the Mac, including radio programs in iTunes. You can even pick the file format (mp3, AIFF, WAV, etc.) It's not a quick solution, but it'll get the job done.
    Hope this helps.

  • How I transfer the music from iTunes to the computer?

    Hi
    I was wondering, how I transfer the music from iTunes to the desktop computer?
    I would like that as back up on another device.

    I am assuming you have a PC - not a Mac.
    In iTunes on your PC go to Edit>Preferences>Advanced
    This will tell you the location of your iTunes Media Folder on your PC.
    Now go to that location using Windows Explorer and click on the Music folder within it.   All your music should be found there

  • How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

    Can anyone tell me how to transfer purchased music from iTunes to my iPod without first downloading to a CD?

    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (4.6), then you need to make sure your ipod software is up to date also.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
    Get the latest updates here.
    If you have done all this and still can't transfer it, post back with more info about what is happening.
    EDIT.
    Grrrr......must learn to type faster!

  • Topic: How to transfer purchased music from iTunes

    Since the item <Topic: How to transfer purchased music from iTunes> is "locked" (whatever that means - typically, I got an error message when I clicked on the link!!) - I would like to state that despite downloading the iPod updater to deal with this problem, I cannot update my iPod because "the updater does not have a firmware image". I deeply resent not being able to move 100 tracks I have bought and paid for with my hard-earned money to my iPod. I trust that Apple will sort out this mess forthwith.

    I have now solved this problem (almost by accident...).
    Unfortunately, before you can update the iPod software on the older iPods you have to first do a Restore Factory Settings from the iPod updater (otherwise "updater cannot find firmware image'). Let the 'Restore' process run right through (it ends when the iPod fully reboots). You can then run the iPod software updater to Update from iPod 2.2 to 2.3 software, but afterwards you have to recopy all your songs from iTunes into the now empty iPod. I reloaded my iPod last night, and it took about 20-30mins using firewire for c.2400 songs. It worked for me, anyway. And the interface with iTunes is an improvement. Could have done without all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, though. Thank you, Apple.

  • HT201263 After updating to ios 8 through itunes, I lost my music and now I cant transfer some music from itunes (macbook pro) to my iphone 4s back

    After updating to ios 8 through itunes, I lost my music and now I cant transfer some music from itunes (macbook pro) to my iphone 4s back. Any idea how can I do that?

    After posting this, I've since found out that my iOS iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus works all OK when on WiFi, it just won't work when on the data/3/4G connection.
    Anybody else having this same issue since updating to iOS 8.3?

  • How do I transfer the music from computer to ipod

    Just got ipod and have NO idea how to transfer the music from itunes and lime wire to my ipod? There are no promps to explain? Lime Wire is shown in the itunes library. I feel so stupid? Please help!

    It is always better to transfer the music via iTunes, once you have music files showing in the library of the iTunes, connect your iPod with your computer, and a window will pop up and ask you to register your iPod with the iTunes, then just follow the instruction.

    Exact same way as razmee209 stated earlier. The sync process for the iPhones and iPods is one way from iTunes to the device, not the other way. The 3rd party software is the only solution if the music was not purchased via iTunes.
    Simplest way is to transfer all your user data (inlcluding iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

  • Can't get new music from iTunes to iPod

    I currently have an iPod Touch.  Have downloaded the most current iTunes.  Have the latest software update for the iPod.  For numbers sake, I have 75 songs on the computer iTunes, 300 on the iPod.  Want to get music and playlists from iTunes onto iPod.  Have repeatedly tried syncing to no avail.  I don't want to erase everything off the iPod in order to do so.  Likewise, how the heck do I get the extra 225 songs from the iPod onto my iTunes??  All of the trouble started when I 1) added an iPhone into the mix and had multiple devices involved and 2) did the most recent iTunes update (which I HATE!!!!)
    So how the heck do I do this??  I do not have a 7 year old in the household to tell me how to do this. 

    Transferring tracks from an iPod back to iTunes has been covered here a number of times already, but again:
    First, you need to prevent automatic synchronzation with a blank copy of iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    Then if you're using iTunes 7, you can then copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly (use the Transfer Purchases From iPod command under the iTunes File menu).
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy back other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

    Hope this helps.
