When I try to burn music from my Playlist to a blank CD, the notification tells me that the list has too many minutes for the CD, even if I try to burn just one song. What's going on?

WHEN I TRY TO BURN MUSIC FROM MY PLAYLIST TO A BLANK CD, THE NOTIFICATION COMES UP AND TELLS ME I AM EXCEEDING THE NUMBER OF MINUTES THE CD WILL HOLD. THIS NOTIFICATION HAPPENS EVEN IF I TRY TO BURN JUST ONE SONG. WHAT'S GOING ON?

Katy, you are completely doing things in the wrong order. You can't burn songs if you can't even play them, and iTunes can't play them if it can't find them.
The exclamation point normally occurs if the song file, or one of its containing folders, has been moved, renamed or deleted. So if you encounter a track with an exclamation point, don't do anything else until you find the file. It is usually somewhere else on your hard drive, or else in the Recycle bin. Failing both of those, get it from your most recent backup.
After your restore it, make sure it can play. If it can play you can put it into a playlist. Then you can burn the playlist.

When I try to sync music from iTunes playlist to my Ipod shuffle it says the iPod is synced to a different liabrary. It asks if I want to delete the music already on the Ipod and sync it to "this" library. I don't want to lose the music already on Ipod.

Please help. I have no idea why this is happening and I'm kinda new to using iTunes. I'm trying to sync music from a playlist on my iTunes account onto my iPod Shuffle (older Shuffle). I use Windows XP on my laptop. When I try moving the songs to the iPod it says the iPod is synced to another library. I didn't know I had another library (but I guess it is possible because I used iTunes a few years ago too).
The only option I get is to delete the music already on the iPod and sync the iPod to "this" library. I really don't want to lose the music already on the iPod. PLEASE HELP. I'm tech challenged to say the least.

My ipod 5th gen has too many GB on the other, and now the rest of my apps and music won't download. What do I do?

so I went to sync my ipod, and the computer says i have too many GB of space being used on my ipod for "other". I checked yesterday and there wasn't nearly that much space being used. What happened, and can i fix it? Thanks!

What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Table has too many columns for one pg in InDesign document. How do I force a break?

I have imported an Excel table into my InDesign document. The table is 598 columns wide. Obviously this isn't fitting on one page. I want it to just keep flowing from page to page, keeping one same column at the beginning of each page (like "freeze panes" does in Excel) but it's not doing that. Is this possible in my InDesign document or will I have to manually copy and paste 10 columns at a time, which is about how many are fitting on one page? Any searches I do on this subject just talk about flowing rows but nothing about columns.

As far as I know there's probably no way ID is going to do what you want.
You can place a table across a multiple page spread, but the odds of being able to do that and still keep the file printable are marginal, at best. You can't for example, leave blank space at the gutters unless you are able to add a blank column that spans the gutter, and the limt for multipage spreads is 10 pages wide, whcih doesn't sound like it's probably enough to hold almost 600 columns.
Perhaps placing the table using named ranges of appropriate widths would work...

My iPad will accept downloaded images from my camera, but will not allow me to move the images to a thumb drive, with the message that those devices require too much power for the iPad.

Using an older, second-issue iPad, I can download images into it from my camera. I cannot move them out of the iPad into a thumb drive. The message I receive is that the thumb drives require too much energy to make the transfer. What can I do?

Thats how its designed. in order to export your images or videos, the best method might be by connecting the iPad to your computer, or directly to the thumb drive connected to your computer, not to the iPad. Then is as simple as drag and drop. The other method could be sending them by email or uploading via a cloud service but that will take more time do get it done.
Hope this helps.

I've authorized my iPhone on a Mac but when I go to play videos it asks for authorization again, only to tell me that I have authorized too many computers. Help!

So I used my work Mac to authorize my iPhone so I can play music, but now that I want to play a movie it asks for authorization. I've already authorized that account! I don't understand why it's asking for authorization again when I want to play a movie. Plus, I can't access the iTunes store from my work computer, so I'm stuck until I go home to deauthorize my other computers. Why is this happening?

Authorization does not apply to iphones. Authorization is for computers.

When i try to add music from itunes to my ipod itune tells me the music on my ipod came from a differnt libray and wants to erase my whole ipod. i just loaded my ipod two days ago. i don't want to replace everything every time i want to add to songs

When i try to add music from itunes to my ipod, Itune tells me the music on my ipod came from a differnt libray and wants to erase my whole ipod. i just loaded my ipod two days ago. i don't want to replace everything every time i want to add two to songs. My MacBook Pro is the only autherized computer.

To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.

For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

When I try to transfer music from my iPad to my Mac, some songs won't transfer

Generally, I buy all of my music on my iPad. When I tried to transfer music from my iPad to my Macbook, around 15-20 out of 200 songs wouldn't transfer (which ***** for me, considering many of my favorites happened to be among the 15-20).
Does anyone know why this is, or how I can fix it..? I'd rather not have to buy the songs again. /: Would deleting them on my iPad, re-downloading them on my iPad, and then trying to transfer them again work..?
Thank you for any replies. : )

The best thing to do is go to Settings > Store and see what Apple ID is showed there. If it's your old one, then you can tap on it, and choose to 'sign out'.
Once you sign out, tap on 'Sign in' and use your current information. That usually works!

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

I just purchased a new iMac. My iTunes account is missing a ton of music and I cant figure out how to access it. When I try to load music from my ipod to match my imac it only asks if i'd like to sink my ipod with my account. How do I access my library?

Unless you subscribe to Match, you will have to transfer your non-iTunes stuff from your old computer:

If you want to copy non-iTunes music off of your iPod (eg, if your old computer doesn't exist), you'll need to use a third party program. I don't know of any free ones anymore, but if you google, you can find several in the $19 range.

When I import some of my cd's they have multiple album images but have just one song from the cd because of a guest performer. How do I keep the cd from "blowing up" like this? eergh

for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

How can I get my iPad to play just one song from my playlist and then stop automatically?

I am a music teacher and I use the iPod on my iPad to play songs in class. I have a long playlist of songs to choose from in each class, and I want to play just one song at a time. I want to be able to start one song from my playlist and then walk away from my iPad and have it stop automatically when that song is over. (I know how to make it repeat the same song over and over, but tha'ts not what I need. I also know how to push "pause," but I don't want to have to walk away from the children to do it.) How can I make it play one song from a playlist at a time?

I don't believe that there is a way to do that except, perhaps, creating a separate Playlist for each song.

ITunes freezes on me when I try to play music from a CD

When I try to play music from a CD, it will play two tracks in a row fine. After that, the program will freeze and I'll have to exit it. It keeps doing this on me, and even after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, it still does it. It's weird how it only freezes after playing every two songs.
It also only does this to CDs. It's fine when I play music already downloaded on my computer. I recently updated to the latest version of iTunes, if that might have anything to do with it.

Boy this discussion sure seems useless. Comeon Apple! Time to step up the support! This is where you are weakest as a company.
Well anyway, I have the same problem. My old optical drive in my macbook pro crapped out when I dropped my laptop, so I just installed a brand new drive (UJ-857e), simultaneously with upgrading to Leopard, so it is unfortunately impossible for me to isolate this problem to itunes 7.5 vs. Leopard. It is clearly not a hardware problem however, since the cd's play fine with other audio programs.
So what I can offer as a work-around fix is to suggest you use a different program for audio cd playback than itunes and all should be fine if your hardware is fine. My program of choice is VLC, which in my opinion is the best free program out there for video formats of all kinds (most codecs included) and plays audio fine too.

What is Apple doing?! Not just ONE song?!

Seriously, what does Apple do? Sit there and pick their nose while the population throws their keyboards across the room?
Now, controlling my deep anger that could scare a rhino, here is my problem. iTunes won't let me transfer ONE freaking song to my iPod Nano. Now, when I change the settings to ONLY update ONE playlist, it erased what was already on there and replaced it with that one playlist. I'm not computer inept, but iTunes just doesn't make sense to me.
Now, wouldn't it make sense to actually design software where you can just transfer ONE song to your product? NO! That would just make sense.
Is there anyway with iTunes to maybe put just a few songs onto my iPod without having a hernia while trying to protect my equipment? Please make my life easier, and renew my faith in the Apple corperation.

Or create a playlist with the music you want.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Select the Summary tab.
Uncheck Manually manage music and videos.
Select the Music tab.
Tic Sync music and Selected playlists, then select the playslist(s) you want.
Add or delete from these playlist(s) & plug in the iPod.

When I try to burn music from my Playlist to a blank CD, the notification tells me that the list has too many minutes for the CD, even if I try to burn just one song. What's going on?
