Winamp 5.21 hosed itunes+ipod

Things were going great with winamp 5.1.13 for streaming media and itunes for ipod use. I upgraded to winamp 5.21 to check it out and that caused itunes not to recognize my ipod (nor does winamp for that matter). I just want to go back to the way it was using itunes with my ipod (20 GB model). I uninstalled winamp totally, but this had no effect on itunes. I am running on win2k. I tried thegUSB fix suggested on another forum but that had no effect. I reset my ipod, reinstalled itunes, all the obvious things, and no change. Currently, itunes works and so does my ipod, but they are separate islands at the moment.
Any ideas?

Yow. Turns out that my USB plug was bad! I guess my 15 month old sucking on it occasionally wasn't too good for it. I guess the winamp download was a red herring. Thanks for your help. All works now with a new plug.

Converting WinAmp (M3U) Playlists Into iTunes (XML) Playlists

Hi. I was wondering if someone could help me out with suggestions on converting my old WinAmp (.m3u) playlists into usable iTunes (.xml) playlists?
I have Windows XP Pro (with the latest Windows updates), and a brand new iPod 160 Gig Classic.
I have used WinAmp as my media player for the longest time. The reason that I haven't created playlists in iTunes is because:
It took me years to customize these Winamp playlists exactly how I want them (you know how that is).
iTunes is a huge program that tends to takes up too many system resources on my PC. I have an older PC, and don't have the time or money to invest in a new system, copy files, set it up, etc.
iTunes somehow modifies an mp3 whenever it is played in iTunes ( I can see that it has been modified in the "Date Modified" column, where my mp3 files are located).
Historically - up until the last year or so, iTunes has not had too much of a problem faithfully importing my Winamp playlists into iTunes (to be transferred onto my iPod).
So, I just got off the phone with Apple Technical Support, Tier 2. I told him that I had the latest version of iTunes (version 10), installed yesterday.
I successfully imported my 90 Gigs of mp3's into the iTunes "Music Library" without a problem.
The problem arose today when I tried to import one of my WinAmp (.m3u) playlists into iTunes, so that I could copy the playlist over onto my iPod. I've done this dozens of times. I've already tried uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes.
Like I said, I really want to keep these playlists it took a long time to customize the occurrence and frequency of favorite mp3's into those playlists.
The technician said that the latest release of iTunes won't work with Winamp (m3u) playlists. I asked him if he thought it would work again if I downloaded an older version of iTunes. He said that with the new iPod Classic that I have, it will not work with older versions of iTunes (I have no idea why), so that's out. He suggested Googling an "m3u to xml file converter."
I checked on Google and saw a lot of programs that will convert xml files to m3u file format (for reasons unknown to me), but I haven't had any luck online finding a file converter that will faithfully convert my WinAmp (.m3u) playlists TO iTunes (.xml) playlists to use instead, and make iTunes run smoother. Any suggestions?*
* Keep in mind that I'd really prefer to convert my m3u playlists, rather than create all new iTunes playlists from scratch.
Thanks.

Tried the plug-in with Apple Technical Support. This WinAmp plug-in unfortunately does absolutely nothing.
I went back an read some of the comments and it sounds like it only works with older versions of WinAmp.
Try this http://www.topdownloads.net/software/m3u-to-xml-xspf-converter_2_39472.html
or this python script http://users.musicbrainz.org/~matt/xspf/m3u2xspf
or http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Convertors/M3UtoXSPF.shtml
Not sure this one will work since it is looking like the latest iTunes no longer supports m3u file sbut worth a try see http://www.burroak.on.ca/m3u2itunes.html

Bought 5 new songs on itunes. ipod syncs but songs do not show up on any playlist

Bought 5 new songs on itunes . ipod syncs but the new songs don't show up on the play list that is on the ipod . the do appear on itunes library. what am i doing wrong ?

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

Tried to sync iPod Touch, noted "new" iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried the fix, but iTunes hangs when I try to open Preferences.

Just tried to download new audiobooks to my iPod Touch 3, and noted new iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried to Reset Sync History per Support Article, but it didn't work. My purchased audiobooks are also gone from my iTunes Library. Any fix, or is my best bet to uninstall new iTunes and reload earlier version??

ITunes was on a drive destroyed by virus; how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

ITunes/iPod Nano Problem?

I recently purchased a refurbished iPod Nano 4th generation from GameStop. When I went to sync the iPod with iTunes, it proceeds to tell me that it is installing "Natrual Voice Text to Speech Reader Standard". After a moment, it shows this -
When I click "Cancel", it proceeds to show the same thing all over again.I have to end the task in Windows Task Manager to get the box to go away, and this closes iTunes with it. iTunes still works when the box is present, but the iPod is not recognized in iTunes.
Thinking this could be a virus, I ran antivirus scans on the computer and the iPod. Nothing showed up.
At this point, what should I do?

Not all iPhoto albums showing up in iTunes iPod options

Not sure when exactly this happened but I guess with the installation of iTunes 6.04.
Some of the albums I've created in in iPhoto do not show up in the iTunes iPod options.
I first noticed when trying to view photos on my iPod that images that had been there before were no longer available.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any idea on how to fix this?
I've already tried to restore my iPod and delete the iPod Cahe folder but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Heiko.

Heiko,
I had the same problem and noticed that the missing albums had been PhotoCast. Apparently these albums are not available for transfer to your iPod. When I Stopped Publishing the album, the problem was solved.
I hope this helps, Jim

Rip dvd's into itunes/ipod???

Hi -- with itunes 6 and the new ipod, how can I transfer my own video files to the ipod? can i rip a dvd I own to itunes/ipod???
-Eric

I don't understand the snobbery attached to paying a few dollars for a piece of software when all of us spend thousands on equipment.
All the mentioned software is available for download and tryout, if you like you buy - simple!
For me "DVD to AppleTV Converter" runs incredibly slow on my Quad as it doesn't support multi-processing, so no good. I have no idea of the quality of it's conversions because I binned it as soon as I realised this flaw and wasn't prepared to pay for a product that failed to utilise the power of my machine.
"VisualHub" however is amazing. The quality is great, and it's fast - maxing out all four processors, so I have no problem shelling out a few quid for it.
"Mediafork" is another great utility, and has the advantage of being able to rip straight from a dvd, and the quality is great.

How Do I Get Music From Another Computer That Already Has ITunes/Ipod insta

Here's the story - I have a Video Ipod. I have music on it from my ITunes that I installed on my computer (PC). My sister has her own computer with her own itunes and her own ipod installed on it (same model Ipod and same version Itunes and also a PC). I want her music. I want it on my Ipod. How do I do this?
When I connected my ipod to her computer it said that another user was using Ipod software and that they had to log off before it would recognize my ipod. How do I do this without affecting her Itunes/Ipod settings? Help? Thank you....

what you are asking is illegal.. sharing music is illegal.

Multiple iTunes/iPod Updater Entries in Add/Remove Programs

There are three entries for iTunes in the "Add or Remove Programs" window.
iTunes 6.0.3.5
iTunes 6.0.2.23
iTunes 6.0.1.3
I never bothered uninstalling the previous version before upgrading (I fear it will mess up my music library if I take iTunes completely off). I always figured, like with most other programs, it would replace/delete the previous version on its own.
The same thing happens with the iPod Updater. I have two of those.
iPod for Windows 2005-11-17 (4.17.0)
iPod for Windows 2005-09-23 (4.3.0)
Should I uninstall them all (iTunes & iPod Updater) and reinstall only the latest versions (iTunes 6.0.4 & iPod Updater 2006-01-10)? I have like 30GB of music, and if anything were to happen...I'd seriously jump in front of a speeding car before reripping everything...ok no I wouldn't, but I'd be extremely ****** off.
Thanks in advance for any help! =D

Sync with only one iTune/iPod account and have EVERYTHING EARSED

I've up dated to 7.11 and when I plug my iPod 40G photo in, I get message that you can only have one iTune/iPod per computer account...trouble is that THIS IS THE COMPUTER I started my iPod with!! Now it wants to sync and earse all my songs but better yet 8,000 songs are missing in the library!!
I also have 3 other iPods and none will be allowed in the library!
HELP!!!!

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Once you are safely connected if you can't reinstate your library from your computer then there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

ITunes/iPod is set to automatically convert MP3s to QT

My iTunes/iPod is set to automatically convert MP3s to QuickTime, and I don't want it to do that. All I want to do is transfer TRUE MP3 files without the conversion, but I'm not sure where the settings are, and on which device, that's doing the conversion. Using Windows Vista OS and a new iPhone 4.

Edit > Preferences > Devices.
Uncheck the option for "Prevent iDevices from automatically syncing".

How can I get iTunes & iPod updates on cd/rom???

To download the new updates for iTunes & iPod would take days on my dial-up connection!! If someone has this update or can put this update on cd/rom please respond.

hi Duhone!
However I do not have access to any PC with broadband.
ouch. okay, the only thing i can think of to suggest is what beloved and i had to do back in the days when we needed digital photos for on-line applications. we went to a copy store with PCs and broadband (kinkos in our case) and rented a computer for half an hour or so for the photo processing and application submissions.
do you have a copy store anywhere convenient (with a PC with both broadband and a CD burner)?
love, b
