When I download using itunes download goes to my computer instead tf myipod nano

On the iPod go to Settings>Store and turnoff automatic downloads. You can also go to iTunes>Preferences>Store and turn it off too.

When ever I use ITunes, it locks my entire computer.

Thanks for reading. I downloaded the updated version of ITunes that came out two or three weeks ago. Soon after, while using ITunes, I would scroll to the bottom and it would get "stuck" and freeze my computer. I have to physically turn off the computer in order to restart it. I thought this recent download would fix the bug but it didn't. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes! Our brand new iMac is only a few weeks old, and it regularly freezes up while in the iTunes store. Force quit doesn't work. We have to manually shut down and restart. We are currently up to date on iTunes and all software updates. I join you in shouting "help!" - and if this doesn't get fixed, I'm going to be frequenting Amazon more often for my purchased downloads.....

HT1848 My children have ipods and now have iphones. When you download any itunes will the songs show up on both the ipod and iphone or just the one they purchase the itunes from

My children have ipods and now also have iphones. When you download any music from itunes will it show up on both devices or will it only be one the device the itunes were put onto?

It depends upon what country that you are in and what settings you've set on those devices. Music can't be redownloaded in all countries, but for those where it can be you will have an automatic downloads setting in Settings > iTunes & App Store for music, which if 'on' will mean that when a song is bought on that account on another computer/device then it will automatically download on that device as well - if you don't want that to happen then make sure that it's 'off'.
With iOS 7 (and for countries where music can be redownloaded) there is also a Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'Show all' heading) setting which means that music that is only in the cloud (i.e. it hasn't been downloaded onto that device) will show in the Music app - turn that 'off' if you don't want them to show.

Macbook freezes and won't turn on after using itunes and going to standby

My macbook pro "locks up" when I am using Itunes and I let my computer go to sleep or to standby mode. It won't turn back on without manually shutting it down and restarting the computer. I have had hardware diagnostics done on it and they all report back fine. If anyone knows how to fix this issue it would be greatly appreciated!!!

The computer may think it is syncing with the iPod while you are attempting to go to sleep, thus is stuck trying to know what to do. Try dismounting the iPod first, and then disconnecting it, and then putting it to sleep.

I bought two songs on itunes and it dosen't show up on my ipod nano!

I got a new computer (windows 8) and I downloaded Itunes. I got all my songs form my old computer and put it on my new one. A few weeks later I bought two songs. I had my ipod plugged in when I downloaded the songs. It will not show up on my ipod nano but on itunes it tells me I bought my two songs. Help!
P.S: My ipod nano is not new. I had it for a year. I never had this issue before. Also there is 7.03 GB Free.

You need to look here for purchased items:
Open the iTunes Store, under Quick Links on the right side of the window, click on Purchased>Music>Songs>Not on this Computer.
Cheers,

yeah that was the idea (to remove my disk and just play songs from the cloud)
i think it will work fine except when i sync my ipod - will i need the files to be on disk to sync, or will they auto download and sync from the cloud?
With regard to your wish to use the external when you are at home, and cloud versions when away, this may be a solution for you.
Keep your existing library as it is, you can use that to sync your iPod and listen to the music from the external disc when you have access to it.
Create a new iTunes library, don't add any content to it, and sign it up to Match.
That way, when you have the external plugged in, and want to sync your iPod then use the original library. If you haven't got the external plugged in then use the new library to stream from the cloud.
I think that will work.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I used my friend itune to transfer songs to my iphone 4 but when i am using itunes from my laptop i am not able to tranfer songs to iphone.. but from my friends laptop is working.. why and what need to do ?

I used my friend itune to transfer songs to my iphone 4 but when i am using itunes from my laptop i am not able to tranfer songs to iphone.. .. why and what need to do ?

I would suggest that join your iphone with iTunes and do not sync. Than in your info window of iTunes uncheck auto sync of songs and videos. Check Mark for manual selection of songs. Also uncheck sync of songs window. After this sync your iphone and manually copy your songs from your iphone through itune by opening music under your iphone icon in the left status bar and copy to your laptop music folder. I think it would help out. I did same for myself. Try out. TC

How to Specify Metadata When Adding Content Using iTunes U Web Service?

I've been developing Java applications using iTunes U Web service and uploaded content to iTunes U site using iTunes U Web service without problem. Now I want to add metadata fields (name, artist name, album name, etc.) for the tracks I uploaded. It seems to me that "AddTrack" will do. So I tested it but it neither adds a track under the specified group nor updates metadata fields for an existing track. It turned out "MergeTrack" actually updates metadata fields for an existing track. So is there any way to specify metadata at the time of adding content using iTunes U Web service? And what exactly does AddTrack do? This is all about contents hosted by iTunes U site and no RSS is involved.
I'm referring to the "AddTrack" method in iTunes U Web service:
http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/iTunesUAdministrationGuide/iTunesUWebServices/c hapter18_section_21.html#//appleref/doc/uid/AdminGuide-CH13-SW26

Thanks for all the replies. My question is whether there is any way to specify metadata WHEN adding content using iTunes U Web service. Specifying metadata AFTER adding content can be achieved by MergeTrack (weird naming) and it does work.
As for setting track level meta-data in the media file and then upload it, there're several reasons against that, among which are:
1. Some track metadata are context-dependent. A video about buildings on Michigan Ave in Chicago can be track #2 in a history course and described as "historic view of the Magnificent Mile", but the same media can also be track #5 in a landscape design course and described as something like "contemporary architecture". Setting these metadata in the media file itself is not the preferred way to do it since it implies maintaining a version of the same media for any course/group it gets uploaded to.
2. Setting metadata in a location separate from the media file helps track the metadata change and search for media without digging into the media itself.
3. If MergeTrack "updates" metadata, there got to be some other method that "creates" metadata - that's what a well-designed API should look like. And setting metadata in the media file is not an equivalent to a "create metadata" method call. In rickwolf's term, that implicit AddTrack should actually be made explicit so the party uploading content can explicitly specify metadata instead of having iTunes U extract metadata from the media.
It is still not clear what "AddTrack" does exactly, maybe rickwolf is right - it's only relevant to tracks created through RSS.
So it seems to me there is no other way to specify metadata WHEN adding content using iTunes U Web service than setting metadata in the media file. To me it is more like a design flaw.

HT1751 My computer got fried and when I downloaded my itunes onto my new computer, the playlists I created were gone. Any chance of getting them back. I spent alot of time on these as you can imagine.

My computer got fried during a storm so I purchased a new PC. When I downloaded my itunes library, none of the playlists I had created appeared. Is there any chance on retrieving these from itunes? I spent alot of time creating them for certain occassions. Thanks in advance for your help!

OR WHAT CAN I DO TO RESTORE MY COMPUTER THERE IS A LOT INFORMATION THERE WHY MAVERICKS IS TROUBLESHOOTING.

Don't post in all caps. Besides being more difficult to read it's tantamount to shouting and is considered rude in forums. What problems are you having? What model Mac do you have, how much RAM and free space on the boot drive?
Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and try the following in order as needed:
1 - select Disk Utility and repair both the disk and disk permissions. Reboot normally.
2 - reinstall the Mavericks system.

IPod Error message when Sync'ing using itunes

Every time I use itunes to sync my music onto my 5th generation iPod it does about... 50 files then i get the error message:
'attempting to copy to the disk "DARROL'S iPOD" failed because the disk could not be read or written to'
A few times i've managed to get all the music onto it but mostly I get that error message. I've done a full restore on the iPod twice but it still happens.
I resorted to using the Winamp plugin to transfer the music and that seems to work a lot better but it doesn't seem to give album art, would like to use iTunes to do it, any help would be good.

"Use iTunes to restore". How can I access the iPod w/o losing present data?

I have a request from my grandaughter to download a number of songs to her iPod. I charged the battery fully. When I tried to start it , it read "Use iTunes to restore". How can I access her iPod w/o losing any of her present songs? Please please help.

You can't. Restoring will always erase the device. Unless you have a backup in iTunes or iCloud everything is removed. Purchased items can be re-downloaded as long as the original Apple ID used to purchase them is also used when reconfiguing the device after it is restored.

Hi Divine Inspiration,
You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.
