Why are certain songs not being transferred completely?

I believe it's mostly the songs I've transferred to the hardrive of my computer that are being lost in transferring to my ipod. I've downloaded a new version of Itunes, erased the old copy, restored my ipod, & traded one ipod in for another of the same, Classic ipod. And it's still happening, I believe it's my computer that's the problem. I'm still running windows Vista Home Premium On my PC. So I'm probably due for a new one. Unless you guys have an answer for me. Thanks, Paul

, just not sure how Itunes will run in a windows pc to begin with.
Not sure what you mean here.
If the problem persisted across multiple iPods, that indicates an issue with the downloaded tracks that you synced to the device. Try removing/deleting these tracks from your iTunes library and PC and re-importing and/or redownloading them from iTunes (it won't cost you anything).
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Why are certain songs being transferred over to my laptop over and over again through Homesharing even though they are already in my new library?

So I recently bought a new Windows laptop and tried using homesharing to transfer my songs from my computer, but I got really frustrated and confused. Certain songs keep being transferred through homesharing to my new library even though I already have a copy of the song in the library. I checked to see if I had the actual file in my media folder and it was there, so why do the songs keep being copied? And, if possible, can someone also explain how to transfer playlists? I know Apple said to export/import playlist but what does that mean?

Yup, same issue.
Playlist - Right-click on the playlist and select export, it will create a .txt file.
On the other computer File/Library/Import Playlist, select the txt.file.
Or, just select the Playlist in homeshare and select it and hit import.
For some reason when you select "Items not in my library" it is does not show files correctly, if you purchased it in iTunes, they show correctly, or if you loaded them, they don't.

Hi,
In advance preferences, you can tell iTunes how to organise your library. Tick keep iTunes organised and copy files to iTunes media folder.
If this I has already been done, you may need to add track numbers from get info.

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally on my ipad mini if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

They should be. If you have lost bookmarks try restarting Safari:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.

Where exactly are you looking and what do they look like, there are several iCloud icons used in iTunes.
Maybe a screenshot.

Why are certains applications not available in South African App Store?

Why are certain applications such as Google Earth, Google Mobile App, and most games not available in the South African App Store.
We speak English so localisation should not be a problem.
I'm sure there are no legal reasons why these applications are not available here, as we have desktop equivalents for most of them.
Why does South Africa have to have a diminished iPhone experience?

No idea.
You would have to ask Apple and/or the company that makes the app and/or - most likely - the Government of your country.
I'm sure Apple and the app developer would love to sell more apps.
Since this is a user forum, made up of iphone users, like you - there is nothing we can do about it.
Sorry.

Why are some songs not fully downloading?

Most of the songs that I've downloaded lately are not playing fully. They're stopping less than halfway through and skipping to the next song. I know this is happening to others also, is there any way I can fix this? It's rather unfair, since my mum has payed for all these songs, yet there's no point even buying them if I can't listen and enjoy them. Thus, I was wondering is there anything I can do, or must it be repaired by iTunes? Also, have iTunes aknowledged this problem? Thanks!

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player or another media player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt. If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773
Other possible considerations:-

https://discussions.apple.com/message/17661693 - issue resolved by re-downloading files or rebuilding library file [note, although the poster says this restored all, my understanding is the .xml file does not retain all the details of the original library file].

Incomplete playback seems to be reported several times a day here. I don't recall this happening before iTunes 10. I would suggest posting feedback to Apple so they aware of an issue.

Why are certain songs syncing to my iPhone!?

I have iTunes set to sync a couple if specific playlists (both smart, and static). However, there are a handful of certain songs that keep syncing to my iPhone no matter how many times I delete them. They are not in any of the playslists set to sync. How can I get it to stop doing this?
iPhone 4S, current version of iTunes, current version of iOS and OS X.

By chance did you buy these songs on your iPhone? If so, they are checked to sync (always) to the iPhone.
If you go to the Music sync are in iTunes, there are playlists, articles and individual songs. All songs you've purchased on the iPhone are checked in the "songs" box. You may have to scroll through 15,000 songs to find them.
I've been caught out by this before as well. It's frustrating ;-)

What is the story on mac vulnerability? Is it serious or not serious? If not serious, why is this not being explained? If serious, why are Mac users not being informed of the risk?

what is the story on mac vulnerability? Is it serious or not serious?
If serious, why are we not kept informed
If not serious, why is some much anxiety being created?

IMO, it is being greatly over-blown in the media and online.
Man in the middle attacks require the hacker to be connected to the same intranet network that your device is. Even if they are, unless you go to a secure site and use personal data (like passcodes) they get nothing from stealing your data stream.
If you are at your home, on your own secured intranet, then you really have virtually nothing to fear (as long as your own home network is secured and not wide open to anybody within range). If you routinely use a VPN connection when on public wifi, again, you are fine. Or if you use FireFox, Chrome or another browser that implements its own SSL security, then you are fine.
The fact is, that even for those in a particular situation that is vulnerable to such an attack, most are not actually under any such attack - it is not nearly as rampant as the recent hype would have it seem to be.

Why are my iMessages not being sent via wifi if I am in a wifi zone. They are coming up green (to another i phone)

So, I am in scotland. I don't have a plan here and am on Bell (in Canada). I login to a wifi hot spot and send an imessage to my sisters I phone. It comes up as text, not imessage (and I will end up having to pay for it). WHY WHY WHY?

I'm not entirely sure but they could have come across wifi in a restaurant but I know that then they could have answered

Why are my purchases not being succesfully transfered to another library

Hi,
My Dad gave me his old Ipod nano 4th which contained a different library. I connected it to my computer. I then attempted to transfer the ipod's music to my library; by clicking transfer purcheses. I did however need to use his password in order to authorize my computer for that device. It accepted the password and the music began transfering from the ipod to my main library. The problem; it did not transfer all of the songs. My ipod has 764 songs, 2.2 days worth of music. My computer has only 529 sons with 1.7 days of music. I also confirmed that some albums were not transfered just by flipping the screens to check. How can I make both my Itunes library and my ipod have the same music/library.
Thanks and any info would help

Why are my songs not in the specified alphabetic range?, Why are my songs not in the specified alphabetic range?

I synced my songs from the iTunes and I noticed that the songs in the music list were not contained in their alphabetic range. For example a song starting with h was overflowing into I. And so on. Please let me know if I am missing out something here.
Thanks in advance.

Everything is normal. Probably something to do with ios 5. Had an iPhone that was synced from the sakes iTunes library. That never had any problems. That was iOS 4.3.5. Thanks for the quick replies James.
It is worth noting that Apple scaled back the Music App (formerly know as iPod app, I believe) in iOS 5. It was simplified and some functionality was removed, although why is unknown). It will look and behave differently than what you experienced in early versions.

That is a bug.. see

I recommend you switch over to CCC.. it is much more reliable.
