Why can't I transfer music files from i-Tunes to my 30GB ipod?

I have just updated the software on my ipod, and now there seems to be a major problem. When I drag a song from the i-Tunes library to the ipod folder it has a 30% success rate - the other 70% gets the message "attempting to copy to the disk 'name' failed. An unknown error occured (-48)." What on earth does this mean?
NB. yes my preferences are set to manual update

(sorry was unable to locate anything specific to the -48 error)

    Then stop trying to use HomeShare and use one of the other options listed in the document from which your question was posted.

  • Issue to transfer music files from itunes to iPhone

    hello
    when I want to transfer a music file from itunes to the iphone. the iphone is visible but can not be selected to copy the file in there.
    Worth noticing that similar transfer worked fine on a different MAC. In both cases, the option synchronised was not ticked
    Any suggestion?

    Don't tell me that we can only transfer music file from one unique itunes library??

  • Why can't i open raw files from my eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Why can't i open raw files from me eos canon 7dii on PS elements 12

    Because your camera is newer than your software.
    You need ACR 8.7 which was released this week, to open CR2 files from the 7D.2.  Only current Adobe products can use this version, which would be PSE13 and the Photoshop versions CS6, CC & 2014 and some Adobe video products.
    You can also use the free DNG Converter 8.7 to create DNGs of a folder of images at a time, and then open those DNGs in an older PSE version, but you’ll never be able to open the native CR2 files unless you update the host software to the current versions.
    The DNG Converter 8.7 is available from the Adobe Updates page:

  • How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    Dr. P,
    Song files are just files.  You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
    If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

  • Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash?  They are not locked.

    Why can't I delete mp3 files from my Trash? They are not locked.  I compressed them into a zip file and then couldn't delete that file either.  I've restored them and tried deleting again but no luck.  Can anybody please help?  iOS 10.8.5

    You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
         sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash/*
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

  • How to transfer music files from sonic stage to a hard drive

    Hi all
    I need your help, I am pulling my hair out here for the past 3 weeks.  I purchased a hard drive from Apple and I want to transfer all my music files from Sonic stage which in on my old Fitjitsu laptop.
    I then want to transfer the music from the hard drive to iTunes to my new mac airbook
    Any help is appreciated at this present time I am hating Apple product big time.  Maybe it will restore once I am guided at present Apple customer services who sold me the product initially couldn't help me.
    Cheers

    I am guessing this Fitjutsu laptop is running Windows which uses NTFS format drives.  If you bought a hard drive from Apple it is probably formatted for Mac use. Anyway, I don't know why you are blaming Apple. Hard drives come in one of the other format and you need one that works with both.  Sales people at many kinds of stores rarely know much about things they sell outside of immediate application.  They are trained in the things they sell but are not technically minded.  If you had bought the drive anywhere else you would be like the 2 questions I answered yesterday where people got the music onto the NTFS drive but didn't know why it wouldn't work with the Mac.
    You haven't told us much about the Fitjutsu laptop.  You may be able to use Migration Assistant to transfer the entire contents to the Mac.  This will set up a separate user account with the content.
    About Windows Migration Assistant - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 - Learn about how to use Windows Migration Assistant to migrate your files from a Windows PC to a Mac.
    If you need/want to use a drive to get the music off the other computer you will need a drive with either NTFS format or FAT32 (MS-DOS) format.  With NTFS format the Mac can read but not write to the drive.  You can use it for transferring the files but it will have to be re-formatted back to Mac format for use with the Mac.  Alternatively you can reformat your Mac drive to FAT32 (MS-DOS) format using Disk Utility. Macs can both read and write to this format but is isn't really a a Mac format (Macs can't repair a FAT drive) so eventually you may wish to reformat it too back to Mac format.  Formatting a drive erases all content so once you get the content onto your Mac you will have to store it there temporarily when you format the drive back to Mac format.
    I know this is sounding complicated but Apple's answer to transferring PC content is Migration Assistant.  If you don't want to do that then yes, you are entering the realm where there is fiddly hands-on things to do.
    If this is a brand new Mac you may still be in the 90 day period where you can get free help at an Apple Store from the "Genius" bar.  I'm guessing, however, this won't extend to their formatting and reformatting a drive and transferring select content.

  • Transfer Music files from 3GEN to 5GEN iPod

    I have a 3rd generation iPod I've had for a while. And I was thinking about getting a 5th GEN or whatever might come out in the future, to upgrade.
    But I really wanted to know if there is anyway I can transfer my music files from my current iPod onto a new one, if I buy one? I don't want to lose all my music that I bought (which I no longer have on my harddrive b/c of low disk space) and not be able to put it on a new iPod.
    Dell Laptop   Windows XP  

    You would need to transfer the music on your old iPod back to the computer, and from there use iTunes to transfer it to the new iPod.
    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    The above methods may depend on what version of iTunes you are running.

  • Transfer music files from Nano to iTunes/hard drive ...

    I hope someone can help me ... my hard drive crashed recently so I lost all of my music files that were on iTunes because I did not back them up (smart, huh?). Fortunently, I do have most of my music on my Nano. I am trying to transfer all of the music files from the Nano to iTunes. I tried dragging the files, but that doesn't work. Does anyone know of another technique to use in order to accomplish this? Any help will be appreciated :)
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    You can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward..
    iPodRip Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPod.iTunes Mac Only
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

    You need to visit that link on your N900, not your PC. Tap the green download arrow and app manager will start and automatically download and install it.
    Or try going to X-Terminal on your N900, become root and then type:
    apt-get install petrovich
    Either one of those methods will install it.
