Why won't my nano accept alac or wav files when I try to transfer them from my itunes library?

I've ripped my cd collection into itunes in either alac or wav format. Now when I try to add some of these music files to my ipod nano 3rd. gen., they always transfer to the ipod as a aac file. I know that I have to go to preferences and adjust the settings in the pop ups to whichever format I want to make the music files in, and I've done all of this. I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, or if my computer or my 2 ipods are broken somehow. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Check that you don't have this setting checked in the Summary section of iTunes for your iPod:
Otherwise you should be OK - AFAIK all iPod nano models support WAV and Apple Lossless, and a quick test with a 7g nano suggests that syncing a WAV file creates a WAV file on the iPod. If you're seeing something different then some deeper digging may be required ...

Why is there an error occurring when I try to load content from my iTunes library? Home sharing is switched on.

Recently I seem to be having a problem with my Apple tv when it comes to loading the content of my library. I am asked to turn on home sharing,which i have done, and then an error message comes up. When I close down my itunes and retry I am then asked to turn on home sharing on my computer.....

This indicates an issue with the network.
Power cycle the ATV, router, and computer.

Because you cannot use a credit card issued in another country. This is how the system works. Sorry
I don't think Apple is striving to be just like every other company.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen., but when I tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Some of the videos in your iTunes library cannot be copied to your iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod.

I got a new iPod nano 7th gen, but when i tried downloading a video from my iTunes library a message popped up that said: Soem of the videos in your iTunes library were not copied to yor iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. What should I do?

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

My photostream won't work when I try to transfer pictures from Iphoto?

My pictures won't appear on photostream when I try to transfer them there from iPhoto. It should be as simple as just draging the pictrure to the photostream folder right? But it does not work, how do I do? Or is there any other way to share your pictures from the computer to your iPhone?

Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

When I try to transfer music from my iPad to my Mac, some songs won't transfer

Generally, I buy all of my music on my iPad. When I tried to transfer music from my iPad to my Macbook, around 15-20 out of 200 songs wouldn't transfer (which ***** for me, considering many of my favorites happened to be among the 15-20).
Does anyone know why this is, or how I can fix it..? I'd rather not have to buy the songs again. /: Would deleting them on my iPad, re-downloading them on my iPad, and then trying to transfer them again work..?
Thank you for any replies. : )

The best thing to do is go to Settings > Store and see what Apple ID is showed there. If it's your old one, then you can tap on it, and choose to 'sign out'.
Once you sign out, tap on 'Sign in' and use your current information. That usually works!

Why won't Logic split imported 24 bit wav files?

I've got "Force Interleaved files to split" checked but Logic won't do it with 24bit wav files,( it will with 16bit). Also, it won't let me use the crosssfade tool until I copy the file and change it to a split 24 bit file.
I've got the driver set to SDII, 24bit, 44.1.
What gives?

...anybody?
This can't only be happening to me.

Why won't Quicktime 7.4.1 play .wmv files when Windows Media Player will?

I am running OS 10.4.11 on a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 2002. When I try to play .wmv files, the following message appears: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." However, I can play such files using Windows Media Player. I have installed Quicktime 7.4.1. That hasn't helped.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I already had Flip4Mac installed. However, I re-installed it, but I get the same disappointing message when I try to open .wmv files from Flip4Mac's "Quicktime Player." Perian doesn't work either. At http://lifehacker.com/software/quicktime/download-of-the-day-perian-mac-204423.p hp I read the following: Perian is a freeware plug-in designed to enable the playback of almost every popular video codec in Quicktime.
In fact, pretty much the only major codec not supported by Perian is Windows Media Video files (WMV), but previously-mentioned Flip4Mac should take care of your WMV needs.
I'd appreciate additional comments and suggestions.

My pictures won't show up on my Hard Drive when I try to view them from my MacBook Pro

I just came back from a trip and have been trying to get my pictures off my iPhone and other camera to put on my external hard drive (it's about 17 GB, so I don't want to waste the space by keeping them on my MacBook). I transferred all the pictures from my phone to iphoto and then to my Hard Drive, and they showed up fine. I had to use the family PC though to get the pictures off of my camera and then transfer them to the same folder on my Hard Drive.
After having consolidated everything, I plugged my hard drive back into my MacBook to view my pictures, but although the folder was there, it appeared empty. I was really worried I had lost all my pictures, but that wasn't the case. When I plugged the hard drive back into the PC they were all there.
I tried taking the folder off the Hard Drive and putting it on my desktop. This worked- all the pictures were back. I didn't want to leave it there though, because they take up so much space, so I deleted the old folder on the Hard Drive and put that folder back. That seemed to work- I was able to see all the pictures again. However, when I plugged the Hard Drive back into my MacBook this morning, the pictures were gone again in the same way *** before.
I am really baffled as to what's going on here. I was hoping someone could tell me how I can keep the pictures on my Hard Drive and be able to view them there.

This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
It constantly gets harder.

I need to transfer music from another itunes library to my current. my last computer crashed and i do not want to lose all of the music stored on my nano. Please help!

I need to transfer music from another itunes library. My last compter hard drive failed. I have several hours of songs and I don't want to lose these. Is there a way to transfer music from another libray to current? I have recovered the purchased music but would like to transfer other. I have a mini without a disc drive so it makes loading the same music difficult. Please help.

Why have my TV shows on my external hard drive disappeared when I've deleted them from my iTunes library?

I am trying to free up space on my internal hard drive (MacBook Air). I copied my iTunes TV shows onto an external hard drive, following all instructions carefully. They were all there on the external drive - I opened a few and they played perfectly. I then went back into iTunes and deleted the shows, then emptied trash. When I went back into my external hard drive, all the TV shows had disappeared! Am now in process (yawn) of downloading the shows again onto my laptop, rather defeating my object of freeing up space. Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?

Hello Janeburows,
You might have setup your iTunes in such a way that you store your Media files on your External Hard Drive and if that is the situation then whenever you delete anything permanently from your iTunes on your Computer when the External Drive is connected then the Content will get deleted from your External Hard Drive. To verify the Location for the Media files which you have on iTunes do the following.
Open iTunes > Preferences> Advanced and you will see it under iTunes Media Folder Location
