Why do i have to manually fwd songs on my nanao

why do i have to manualy forward songs on my nano

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.
Backing up your media in iTunes.
Please excuse the sermon, but we see far too many people lose their music because of no back up.

Why do I have to re-buy songs that i have as Ringtones?

I don't understand why we have to re-buy songs to make them into RIngtones. This seems really lame and feels like i am being ripped-off. If i already own a song (purchased from iTunes), shouldn't i be able to use that as a ringtone if i like.
What's up with this?
Is there any way around that?

If you already own a song and it is able to become a ringtone you pay .99 to make it into one. Most ringtones purchased through cingular or at&t cost 2.99 (sometimes more) so this isn't such a bad deal. You can choose which part of the song you want as the ringtone (unfortunantly the gain is wrong on all itunes ringtones) and I wish I could make songs which I own on CD (and are unavailable from itunes) into ringers as well like I could on my old sony phone (Irish Catholic Boy by Seanchai) which isn't even on a label.. and defiently wouldn't care if I used his song as a ringer

Why do I have so many duplicate songs in iTunes

Does anyone know what would cause me to have a large number of duplicate tracks in Itunes. At first I thought it's possible I have more than one copy of a particular song on my computer or definitely on the several drives I have attached. However, I've noticed that even with a brand new CD that I import into iTunes sometimes all or some of the tracks get imported twice.
Thanks in advance for your help

If you have duplicates of your purchases displayed with a cloud symbol alongside your downloaded tracks then sign out of the store, then sign back in again.
Otherwise there is probably something wrong with your workflow when you add content to the library. Repeatedly importing the same set of folders that are outside the iTunes Media folder with the option to Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library enabled is one common way of creating duplicates.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

Why do I have to sync my songs, playlist every time I log into spotify on my Mac

Hey
That doesn't sound right, but we'd love to help.
First of all, how many devices do you have set to use offline mode? You can check this out over at this link. If you have reached 3, this may explain why you need to resync -try removing one of the devices. How does that help?
We hope this assists, but let me know if not!

Why do I have my husband's songs in iTunes Match?

I've just signed up for an iTunes Match account and now I can see all my husband's music in the Cloud.
We have separate iTunes accounts and separate Apple IDs. The only thing I can think of is that we have at some stage shared our iTunes libraries - even though his Mac hasn't been on since I signed up to iTunes Match.
This isn't exactly a problem (though I now have to trawl through all his weird music LOL) - but I AM curious as to why this happens. Any ideas?

No - sorry, my bad, I wasn't clear. I'm talking about tracks that I've never had in my library which he has in his. We have separate iTunes accounts (though they share the same credit card).
I have only just (in the last 48 hours) signed up for an iTunes Match account.
When I checked my music on the Mac in iTunes, I could see many tracks I've never had in my library but I know he does - such as the kids' music he uses for work. The tracks all have the symbol beside them which indicates they're in the Cloud. I'm just puzzled that my iTunes account would know what he has in his library and make it available to me, when his computer is not even switched on!
It's true that when we both have our Macs on, we share our respective iTunes libraries via the home wifi connection. Is iTunes somehow remembering that, even though we're not sharing at the time?
Like I said, it's not really a problem (except of course now I have even more stuff to scroll through in my library LOL!) - but I'm confused.
Thanks anyway!

Why do I have to download my songs on my iphone everytime I want to play them, instead of having a normal play option?

When i go to play songs on my iphone instead of the play symbol there is a download symbol from icloud, so if i have no signal i cant download the song to play it? Is there any way i can opt out of this?

You do not. iTunes Match will not alter local Song files. Any Song that was local in your library will still be there.
The advantage of iTunes Match is that the Songs will also be available on up to 10 other devices.

Have to manually click songs to play!

I need help...I cannot play a song in ITunes other than by clicking on a song in the library...When I try to hit the arrows to go forward or back to the next song, it stops all together. I have already un-installed and re-installed ITunes..
Any suggestions?

Do all the little boxes to the left of the tracks have check marks in them? If they do not, control-click in one of them to check them all.

Why do we have to manually recreate our accounts each time the email server goes down?

On very infrequent occassions (fortunately), our email server will go off-line. Whenever this happens, every one of us has to login to the Blackberry Internet Service website to reenter the account information. This is very annyoing. Why doesn't it just automatically reconnect when the email server goes back up?

No idea why. I'm guessing the the BIS system goes to check for email and can't find the account. Then it sends you the email to revalidate and it won't check again until you do. If it was setup to check too many times with, say, a wrong password, it may lock the account. This is only a guess on my part.
Your people with accounts setup like this should know how to go to their email setup on their device and validate the password. It's not very complicated and takes only a moment.

Why can't I sync my new songs?

So I have an Ipod nano (touch), one of those small ones. My original library is on a PC that I no longer have access to. I installed Itunes on my new PC and since then I have been manually adding songs to my ipod without having to erase my old songs from the original PC.
But now, when I add my songs to the library and press sync, nothing happens. nope, nothing.
I don't know why this happened because I didn't change any settings and I used to be able to add songs like just a week ago.
Please, help me fix this.
Thanks in advance

if I uncheck "manually manage music", the rest of songs on my ipod which don't exist in library would be deleted.
You should make sure you always have "backups" of your music. Your songs would not be deleted if you uncheck "manually manage music."
And "Sync only checked songs" is checked but it's gray and I cannot UNcheck it.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes, your iPod Nano is updated and you have "restarted" your computer.

I download songs from my dropbox to my macbook pro and then upload them to my updated iTunes. iTunes plays them in entirety, but when i update my iTunes match, my iPhone and iPad skip many of the songs and albums. Why? I have tried everything.

If you have manually manage set, you do not sync.
If you want to sync, select the content desired to sync and sync.
This is all covered in the User's Guide.

I have recently bought a Mac PC and wish to have my music for my windows laptop show up on the mac (all that shows are my purchased songs) do i have to manually add my cds somehow?

All my music that i have loaded onto my windows HP Laptop (Envy) has not shown up on my Mac PC, only the purchased songs bought through the iTunes store.
Do i have to manually load the cd's onto my Mac via a portable media unit? Or will that not work? I do not want to have to purchase all my favourite music again

Only purchases appear because they are coming Apple's own copy keeps on the Internet when it sees you have connected a computer without the purchases. Anything else has to be transferred by you.
Moving an entire library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
When this is to a new computer put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming. So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on. But the ipad is a different story. I have the music and artist but not one playlist I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this.
Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z. Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac. Which I do talk highly of all the time. But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not. Any ideas?
Thanks Al

HT1911 Why does Itunes have me logging in multiple times to buy a song? Somehow, my account got disabled now. It also shows that I am logged in....?

Why does itunes have me logging in multiple times to buy a song? I can access everything else fine, but now my account is disabled for some reason although my password was entered correctly... help

I've seen a couple of other threads over the last 10 minutes posting similar problems, so it appears to have affected other people as well - the poster on the first thread has now posted again saying that it's now working for him, so you could give it another try.

Why do I have extra songs in my iPhone playlist that are not on my iTunes library?

After doing the iOS7 update (and iOS7.0.2) I decided to add my music to my phone (I never had music on it before).
I discovered that there were 20 very random and obscure broadway songs that were on my iPhone in addition to the 60 songs I just synced. They had the iCloud icon by them, unlike the songs I had just added.
After doing research I found that the broadway songs were technically "purchased" on iTunes although they are not songs I would have ever purchased- in fact I have never once purchased anything on iTunes. This isn't my worry though, I am assuming it must have been some random free download I did at some point?
I went to settings > music > and turned show all music off. This did NOT work for all of them and only solved the problem 80%. There are still 4 of the random song on my iPhone. They DO NOT show up in my iTunes library on my computer and don't even exist on my computer.
With the other songs I can left swip and delete but these 4 songs won't! Why won't these four songs left swipe?
I am going crazy and have tried restarting my phone, restarting iTunes, re-syncing, turning off the iCloud. NOTHING WORKS.
Please help. I am a normally a very smart and tech-savvy person and I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I don't want to wipe everything- which as a solution is a pretty weak solution.
Why won't certain songs left swipe to delete off my phone when I am in the music app?
Why do I have extra songs on my phone that don't appear on iTunes on my computer?
Where did these songs come from and how do I get rid of them?
Much thanks!

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)
