Why is it taking forever to transfer tunes from itunes to my ipod classic, I have over 6500 to copy and the current rate is 2 tunes per minute

I am just copying tunes from itunes to my ipod classic, there are 6675 to copy and the present rate of transfer is 2 tunes per minute, which means that it will take over 55 hours at this rate,
This has never happened before previously it took next to no time so what is happening?

That show that your original library is damaged and needs to be repaired. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I recently purchased tunes with iTunes gift card. I still have $ left on my card and now I'm asked to verify my account. Why is this necessary?

I recently purchased tunes with iTunes gift card. I still have $ left on my card and now I'm asked to verify my account. Why is this necessary?

Because iTunes simply wants you to verify your name & address is correct in your account info.

The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again. Copy playlists into iPod as usual.

When I try to transfer songs from itunes library to ipod touch it says sync in progress but songs are not on my ipod touch?

When I transfer music from itunes library to my ipod touch, it says sync in progress on ipod touch, however, the songs don't show up on ipod touch. I have transferred songs in the past with no problem. Not sure what is different now or what I'm doing wrong-I am very new at this and any help is greatly appreciated.

How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes?
Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

How do i transfer songs from itunes to my ipod

I tried to transfer a song that i bought from the itunes library to my ipod but a message always pops up that says i am not authorized to play it on my computer. what does this mean and how do i put the song on my ipod?

You need to play at least a part of songs purchased from the iTMS to authorize them. They won't copy to your iPod until you do this.
How to transfer Purchased Music from iTunes to your iPod
iTMS Song and Computer Authorization
If you've played & authorized them in iTunes and they still skip, try this. De-authorize the computer in iTunes/Advanced menu, then re-authorize it. You re-authorize it by playing one of the songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store within iTunes. It should ask you for your Apple ID and password, and then the computer will be authorized again. Sync your iPod with iTunes, and those songs should play on the iPod once again.
Another common cause of this is not having the latest version of iTunes.
If you are using the latest version of iTunes (6.0.2), then you need to make sure your iPod software is up to date also. Get the iPod Updater software, install it, run it and update your iPod.
When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it within iTunes, re-sync your iPod, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.

Unsyncable video? From iTunes? Meets iPod Classic video spec! Why not?

Lots of posts on this issue with plenty of versions of iPod but apparently no real answers other than "convert it" with third party software or iTunes. So, even though there are plenty of questions and answers, I'm going to ask it again but hope someone can also explain the technical reason why this happens.
According to Apple's iPod Classic Technical Specifications for the Classic, it is supposed to play the following video/audio:
H.264, up to 1.5Mbps, 640x480, 30FPS, AAC-LC audio up to 160Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
H.264, up to 2.5Mbps, 640x480, 30FPS, AAC-LC audio up to 160Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4, up to 2.5Mbps, 640x480, 30FPS, AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Fair enough. So I download a video from the iTunes Store and, using Quick Time "inspector", it reports the following specs for the video:
H.264, 1.05Mbps, 640x480, 21.96 FPS, AAC, 44.100kHz, Stereo, mp4. ALL of which are at or below the specifications above.
So, why is this video "out of spec" and can not be synchronized much less played on the iPod Classic especially when it was downloaded from iTunes??
Someone please explain why this fails.
Thank you for the help,
Kevin

Double check to make sure podcasts are configured to sync to your device from under the iPod's Podcast configuration tab.
To access the Podcasts tab for your iPod, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the Summary tab. Along the top you should see a Podcasts tab, so go ahead and click on it. Here you can configure how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
If you do make any changes to do this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to apply the update changes to your device.
Otherwise, are you getting any error messages when you sync your iPod Classic with iTunes?

Cannot transfer mp4 from iTunes library to iPod

I have an mp4 that plays fine in my iTunes library, but won't transfer to my iPod, I just get the 'cannot be played on this iPod' message. I've tried going to Advanced and 'create iPod version' but then I get a movie with just a blank white page. Any ideas for why this would happen or what I might need to do to
convert it further (and if so, in clear terms as I'm not very good at that type of thing without explicit directions!) Thank you!

hi bklyn baibi!
poor thing. you've been having a rough time of it with problems lately. my sympathies.
i reset, restored and did everything i can possibly think of, and now the msg pops up "disk cannot be read or written to". is my hard drive damaged?
here's a good place to start with that error message. (there are actually a bunch of different things that can be causing it.)
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

Upgrading Ipod to touch...able to transfer songs from itunes to new ipod?

I'm upgrading my ipod to a touch. Will I be able to transfer all of my songs from my library to my new ipod? I guess I was under the assumption that you can only have one ipod synced to your library.

this may help
