Why doesn't itunes have an simple upload option for putting CDs and DVDs into my ipod touch library?

I have movies and CDs I don't want to have to purchase again through itunes that I would like to put on my ipod touch without a lot of complicated hassles. I don't understand why it isn't a simple point and click and it happens option on my itunes library list of options. I have four kids and a ton of work and don't have time or expertise to spend figuring out how to make that work by reading through manuals. I don't see the point in buying the same music or movies or books twice. I work in a job that allows me to listen to my ipod while I work. This is a huge perk for an otherwise tedious and boring job, but I don't have time or money to spend buying extra movies or reading a ton of technical information trying to figure this all out. If they can do all the other stuff they do with an ipod touch I don't see why this request should be a serious challenge.
I took a guess on my operating system. I don't know. Do you see the huge list of operating systems? That seems like a lot. It seems to me that everything should be compatible with everything else or people like me that expect to be able to do what other systems can do get really frustrated and irritated when we realize that we can't because capabilities and limitations where not emphasized in the advertising.

HA! I'll add it to my favorites bar... then maybe I will be able to find it again. I just hope I can remember the password and username. You know that they aren't secure unless you change them every six months. Do you realize how many different computer systems and programs I have to engage in work and for personal use?! How in the heck am I supposed to remember all my passwords and usernames?! Oh, and it's not safe to write them down... especially with a bonehead like me that has too many irons in the fire and can't remember where he put his keys!

    Why doesn't my lightning to 30 pin adapter support any of my audio my from ipod touch 5th generation.on my dock

    Have you contacted the dock manufacturer?
    The adopter supports audio if the dock manufacturer says the dock supports the 5G iPod.
    It may be that the dock does not work with iOS 6.x vie the 5G. Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.

  • Every time I open Itunes or plug in my Ipod or Ipad I get an error message that the registery settings for burning cds and dvds are missing and to reinstall Itunes.  i've done this several times but the message won't go away.

    Every time I plug my Ipod Nano or Ipad 2 into my computer I get the same error message.  It says that registery settings are missing for importing burning cds and dvds due ot other burning software and to untinstall itunes and reinstall Itunes.  I've done this several times and I'm not having any trouble importing cds at all and I can't make the message go away.  It always comes up before Itunes will open.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Why doesn't itunes show all my music when i open it and i hav to add folder

    when i open itunes, my music doesn't show and i have to constantly add folders to my library and it takes ages. Even if i consolidate the library before closing, there is no music when i reopen itunes. HELP!!!!
    Message was edited by: unable to save music

    I've been having the same problem since the upgrade to 10.4. Most of what I try to add to my Music Library is simply not showing up. These files are not corrupted, they're the same files I had on the last version of iTunes. I'm simply trying to reorganize all my music, so I started over, but this update has ruined my efforts.

  • Why doesn't itunes have new episodes?

    This week no new episodes are coming out on iTunes and I'm so confused why this is happening, Normally I miss tv shows so I download them the next morning but none of the shows have there new episodes? Why???

    Thanks for posting Sarah22. I've noticed the same problem, especially on new TV episodes that show under "Get the Latest Episodes" for today, Monday, as available, but when you click on them, you can't find the lastest episode on the list - just all the previous episodes. Both Mac and Windows versions of itunes, and not all tv shows. it's annoying; i even reinstalled itunes and same issue.
    Latest episode of "Defiance" for example, shows as "The Bride Wore Black" under Monday's Latest Episodes, but when you click on it, it takes you to the actual show/season page, with a list of only all previousl episodes but not "TBWB." Thought downloading 11.0.4 was supposed to resolve these types of issues.

  • Why doesn't iTunes have Evanescence?

    Hi,
    Just curious but any ideas why Evanescence isn't available for purchase? I know I could always purchase it from http://www.evanescence.com/index.html but one of my relatives wanted to purchase the songs by this band but can't find them and is now annoying me about it >.>;
    Wasn't it a Platinum seller 6 times?

    It's true. iTunes probably wants to sell whoever they can, but they can only stock artists when they come to an agreement with their label. If the iTunes terms that all the other acts have signed to aren't acceptable to Evanescence's label, then they don't get in. It might be good to ask Evanescence what the holdup is.

  • Why doesn't itunes have 320 kbps listed for ripping audio tracks from CD as one of the default options?

    Now I know you can ignore the defaults and create custom settings for ripping audio from CD's, but I'm curious why the good folks at apple didn't add 320kbps as a default. I figured it would be a default option since 320 kbps seems to be the standard for good quality when it comes to CD rips.
    Am I wrong here? Anyone have any ideas?

    Apple hasn't stated why it's not a default option.

  • Why doesn't iTunes have Star Wars?

    I just really want to watch Star Wars and I can't find it on iTunes!

    Apple can only sell content that they are licensed to sell - you can try requesting that it be added, but unless the rights-holder/film studio grants Apple a license to sell the film in your country then Apple won't be able to do so : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Why doesn't firefox have a "print" button in the tool bar and why can't I add attachments to my emails MOST of the time. It only works rarely?? Frustrating!

    I cannot find an add on as a print button for the firefox toolbar. Almost every time I want to print, I have to copy and then open a document and paste it there to be able to print it.
    Also, each time I want to add an attachment to an email, it rarely lets me. I have to open internet explorer and go through my email that way to be able to add attachments.

    1. File > Print <br />
    2. There is a '''Print''' button in the Customize palette for the Toolbars. <br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
    Considering that Firefox doesn't do email, that problem is probably caused by your webmail portal software not being totally compatible with Firefox. If you tell which webmail service you use maybe another user who is familiar with that service can help you.

  • Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

    I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

    You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
    If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

  • I contacted Brooke Army Med Center in San Antonio TX in regards to having people donate physical CDs and DVDs for our wounded warriors. My contact there thought it was a brilliant idea to have a "donation" library to help our soldiers, w. a library. HELP?

    Since I recently joined The Cloud for my iTunes etc, and I know that CDs and DVDs are trending downward as more people are digitizing their libraries and/or using streaming media. So I was left with several hundred CDs and DVDs and wondered "who would benefit from this?"
    Knowing of Brooke Army Medical Center (San Antonio TX), and knowing that's where our soldiers who need prosthetic surgeries, recuperation and assistance, I figured that music and movies would be great as part of their therapy. I contacted James Bonola (Gift Coordinator, Brooke Army Medical Center, Ft Sam Houston) and he thought it would be a great way to help our returning wounded warriors with their therapy.
    I then thought of what company would have the logistics in place to collect CDs and DVDs, and have the national reach to help get this idea off the ground.
    APPLE!
    1. Apple's promoting iCloud, so you get to "keep" your music on all your devices.
    2. Apple also SELLS music, so if you're looking to upgrade, Apple's the place.
    3. Apple revolutionized the music (and movie) industry with the iPod.
    I spoke to someone at Apple today, and they suggested the Apple Support Community. So I chose the iCloud community for the most direct attention.
    If you have all your mobile (iOS) devices and your Macs, iPads, iPhones and everything else, what's it going to cost you if you are looking to dispose of your physical library. WE DON'T NEED THE JEWEL BOXES...just the discs and any booklets.
    So what do you say folks? How about giving this a shot, and helping our wounded warriors through their therapy, and help them build their own music and movie collections at the same time. What have you got to lose? And just imagine how great you'll feel.
    For further information, contact me at [email protected] or, better still, contact James Bonola, Gift Coordinator directly at [email protected].
    Let's make a difference. All you'll get is a chance to make a difference in someone's day.

    Just an update... A rep contacted me and we did a screen share. They were convinced that I wasn't full of <insert proper word here>. They promised to get back to me in a few days, and now? A few months later? Nothing.
    Still no files. Still no correction... Still no nothing from Adobe.
    The person I spoke to was kind, saying he'd make sure I got CC for free for a while...
    Still though, no follow up.
    Adobe, are you going to correct this or just let your customer suffer at your mistakes?

  • Why doesn't PS have auto-recover?

    This is probably the one thing about PS that bugs the crap out of me. If Photoshop crashes while you are working something, it is lost forever. I was working on a digital painting a couple of days ago, and I went to save it, and PS crashed.
    Every other program (Word, Powerpoint, Excel etc.) has an auto-save/auto-recover feature. Why doesn't PS have one? It seems silly for it not to.

    This has been discussed in several other threads, so do a search. As far as I'm concerned any such request doesn't make sense given how PS currently works and how the file format is structured. There's simply no realistic and safe way to save potentially large files in a few (micro-)seconds before a crash nor would that work as an auto-backup. Too many external factors and constant disk activity would have other negative side-effects... If you get my meaning: It's one thing to save a few kilobytes from a Word document in a few blips, but a totally different one shuffling around gigabytes.

    Why doesn't apple have a file of events that ties to the iCal program and the Address book file? By having that relationship it seems that you could call up all of the events tied to a customer while in the address book or likewise call up all of the events tied to a contact that was in the iCal program as a scheduled meeting. Even in the to do's you could easily look back at the events tied to an individual so as to bring yourself up to speed with what you were doing with the individual in mind.

        I definitely understand your concern and I apologize for all the frustration. Verizon Wireless has a strong customer commitment to delivering the best from our service and staff. I am disappointed to hear the service you received did not reflect this commitment.
