Why cant i copy/paste mps's into i-tunes folder?

i have a bunch of mp3's on my computer and i want to put them on my ipod.
i tried to copy the folders of the albums and paste them into the i-tunes folder with the rest of the albums that are on my ipod but the folders i past into itunes dont show up.
do i have to import the songs into itunes in order to get them to show up? this means i would have to burn a million cds and import them. there must be a better method.

If the songs are on your computer, just drag the folder the songs are in, into itunes windows, it should put all the songs onto your itunes, thus they will go onto your ipod when it updates.
Hope this helps

  • Why when i copy paste documents from download to another folder,then i delete them from the downloads ,it will be erased at all?

    I dl a file it goes to my doenload folder,then i copy it to another folder for example document,then when i delete it from download it will erase at all? why?
    is it ok to have the file in both downloads and document? it will not be more size?

    If you copy it to another folder, e.g., Documents, and you can see it in the Downloads folder then you now have two copies of the file. If you delete one copy, the other stays intact. If you keep both, there is no harm, although the amount of disk space used is twice as big as when you only keep one copy.

    You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.
    Or even better while the iPhone is connected to my PC can I view the address book on the iPhone and make changes using my PC keyboard?
    No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

    What do you mean by " cannot check the notes box".
    Do you mean the box is greyed out (unselectable) or it is active but clicking in it has no effect or you can click in it but it does not save the preference.
    The details make a difference to understanding the cause of the problem.

  • I am looking for an application that would allow me to open a word doc, and take notes in the .doc using a stylus pen.  I'd then like to convert those notes to text, and then be able to copy / paste those notes into an email.  Does this app exist?

    I don't believe it will open a Word document, but Writepad allows for handwritten conversion of notes to text and then to email. Might help you some of the way...

    why cant i drag and drop movies into itunes?

    To make it display on the desktop, Finder > Preferences > General tab > check external disks.
    The drive might be formatted NTFS for Windows which is treated as read-only on the Mac.  Need to reformat it using disk utility.

  • How do I copy, paste Word document into Adobe Reader PDF?

    A client is not using Microsoft Word, but typing text for my edits into Adobe PDF. Too many edits, too cumbersome for me. After converting PDF to Word, I edit using various ink colors. How can I copy, cut, paste edited WORD document into her PDF? Other than by using "paper clip" or "attachment" features?

    Thanks, graffiti...So, can't copy, paste Word document into PDF?
    What is the "full version" of Adobe vs my Adobe Reader? Adobe Acrobat?
    I do have a cloud, but doesn't help with my editing problem.

  • Why cant i copy my files from my computer?

    why cant i copy my files from my computer?

    What happens when you try, how are you doing it, and what are the files (music, films, documents ...) ?
    If you are trying to copy documents then you first need an app on the iPad that supports the type of file that you want to copy to it - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.
    If you are trying to copy music or films then are you using your computer's iTunes ?

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • Why won't copy/paste images appear in PDF (from Word 2007)?

    I find all places in a Word 2007 document where content copied from Power Point 2007 and then pasted into a Word 2007 document does not appear in the subsequent PDF file I generate. White space of the same size as the pasted content appears in its place. Why is this happening and are there any suggestions to work around this issue? What is curious is the free PDF creation tool that you can use to generate a PDF within Word 2007 (by choosing file save-as PDF) does NOT have this same issue. I don't want to use Word's tool since it doesn't allow for the option settings flexibility I need to produce the final PDF.
    I already tried saving the Word file as XML and then re-saving as Word .docx and regenerating the PDF from Acrobat: the graphics are still missing. I also tried in Acrobat Help> Repair Installation and then shut down/restarted my computer. Again, the regenerated PDF is missing the graphics.
    Personally, I do not use a copy/paste method; rather, I use insert>picture>from file or paste special as a grphic file type. I know the same graphics placed this way come out fine in a PDF I generate from Acrobat. However, I support a bunch of engineers who make copy/paste a shortcut habit. I will have no luck telling them not to do this.
    I appreciate any help with this.

    Preferences in Acrobat reader under Page Display are already set to Show Large Images. I assume that is the setting you mentioned.
    I don't know of any setting in Word 2007 that would make a difference. Does anyone else have work around suggestions?

  • When using Edit Find, I can only type 3 or 4 letters in the Find bar before the letters start disappearing. If I copy/paste a word into the Find bar all the letters will be there. Has anyone else had this problem?

    The Find bar opens OK with Edit/Find. I start typing in a word there but it will only allow 3 letters before they disappear and my next keystroke appears. I can copy/paste a whole word or string of words into the Find bar and all the letters remain.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == about a month ago

    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why can't I paste formatted text into Firefox?

    Very simple question. When I try to paste rich text into text field in Firefox (text with hyperlinks added, bolded etc.), Firefox strips all of that out.
    Case in point: I added a link to a piece of text in Evernote for Mac. Copied it. Went to Tumblr, pasted it in... the link is removed. This is retained in Chrome, Opera and Safari.

    Note: When using the reset feature,your extensions and themes will be removed; open tabs, windows and tab groups will not be saved; and your preferences will be reset.

  • How to copy & paste an image into a new Pages document?

    With the latest version of Pages, you cannot copy & paste an image from iPhoto or the web any more.
    Is there an easy alternative?
    Using the toolbar alternative "Media" takes ages.
    Why did Apple remove this great feature of Pages????

    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Copying DVD audio (only) into I-tunes

    How do you copy the Audio content of a commerical DVD into I-tunes. Can you control the amount of compression?

    You don't.
    Commercial dvd's are encrypted to stop you from copying them. Breaking the encryption is illegal.
