New member Username: NotimeforagencyPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-05 | I went to open iTunes one day to listen to some music and I got some error about the library being corrupt. I had iTunes save it as a "(Corrupt)" version of my library. I noticed that it said I only had 925 songs in my library where before the error I had 1200 or so. I went and tried to load every other library in my iTunes folder but they all had 925 songs on them. Is there any possible way for me to clear my library and restore the songs using my iPod or what can I do to get all of the songs back into my library? Thanks |
|
Gold Member Username: IlluminatorPost Number: 1187 Registered: Apr-05 | Basically, it sounds like the computer cannot find the files in the library-maybe you've moved or deleted them outside of the program from where they originated. Using your ipod to get some songs back into the library? I would say no, however you can try clicking and dragging if the songs are available to play with I suppose. |

Unregistered guest | I have 8000 songs in my itunes library. I have a shuffle and a 30gb ipod. Is there a way I can deselect all songs(without having to uncheck all 8000 songs) in the library, then check the 120 songs I want to add to my shuffle. Then when I am done is there a way to select all 8000 songs again (without having to check all songs)? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3448 Registered: Dec-03 | yes...go to edit click on "select all" from there you can do what you want with your selection. |

Richard R Unregistered guest | Hi: I d/l'ed a music file, but it won't transfer from my pc to iTunes. Other files transfer just fine and the one in question plays with no problem from the pc. Is there a size restriction? This file is nearly 90mb. Thanks in advance... Rick D |

Unregistered guest | Hi, wonder if you can help. I recently deleated all the track numbers on my itunes so now all album songs appear in alphabetical order. Is there anyway to get these track numbers back? Any help much appreciated |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3535 Registered: Dec-03 | yes you have to assign them. Double click on the song and it will give you the information on the song. From there you can edit the track number. Ever watch "Big Trouble in Little China"? |
|
Unregistered guest | Thanks Berny, Is there a way that i can get the track numbers automatically using the internet in the same way that you woudl get track names? I have about 7000 songs and going through each one will take forever. and about Big Trouble - Well its like I told my last wife, I only drive as fast as I can see, apart from that, its all in the reflexes |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3540 Registered: Dec-03 | ahah...I knew I heard that name before I'm afraid you have to do it the hard way. You could try using the Windows Media player and make a play list and from there you can get info from the net regarding the album information and track number. |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3541 Registered: Dec-03 | Megan, If you have an iPod and do not know how to do the simplest of things that iPod was designed to do, you have no business owning one. But..if you wan to know, how about reading the manual. It will actually show you how. |

Ned Lack Unregistered guest | when i play a song using itunes i get a really annoying background noise on all the songs - it not a problem with the speakers becasue when i am not playing a song there is none of this background noise, is there anything i can do? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3574 Registered: Dec-03 | What kind of annoying background noise? Do you have a subwoofer on your PC? Does the annoying background noise go in and out, like it is cycling? Is it like a drumming sound, much like drum sticks tapping on the rim of a drum? |
|
Jackdaw Unregistered guest | Berny, When I play songs on itunes that I pulled off a cd, the spaces between songs are gone. That is, one song finishes then the next song immediately starts. The remedy? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3633 Registered: Dec-03 | go to iTunes go to preferences click on "Audio" tab check "crossfade playback" from here you can designate how much silence you want in between songs. |
|
Unregistered guest | i share a similar problem as some other people,as it were, but i really need help!!! i have a new computer and want to get the songs from my ipod into the itunes library without having to delete them all and re-import them all... what do i do?!?!?!?!??? please email me if you can help at all!!! buddhaducky@yahoo.com |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3641 Registered: Dec-03 | Make a copy of your musci from the old computer and put on removable media, i.e., disc or portable hard drive. Then you go to the new computer and just copy all the songs to your new pc. Why must you make this more complicated than it is? Unless of course you don't have any removable media, you really should invest in one. |

Edob Unregistered guest | hi my names ed and im anoyed cos my lil bro deleted all my songs on itunes but all my songs on my ipod r still dere how do i bring allmy songs from my ipod to itunes library or any where else ive tried copy and paste and draggingyet it still does not work can u help me? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3644 Registered: Dec-03 | One way transfer only...you should do a search on a separate program that can do that. |
|
Unregistered guest | ok, berny sorry if i'm complicated, but what can u do if u are, like nowhere near the old computer ne more (coughcough college coughcough)? thanx again! |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3674 Registered: Dec-03 | uh-oh, looks like you need to do it the hard way. Unless you can access you rcomputer from college then you rmusic is stuck. You can't trasnfer your songs from your iPod to your new computer unless you know some hacks. |

Unregistered guest | hey Berny i just got a ipod and i download music off limewire and itunes knows that i have limewire but it won't import the songs can you tell me how to import songs? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3747 Registered: Dec-03 | yes, iTunes has an import files feature, go look for it you little thief. From there you can transfer your stolen music. Hide your IP, RIAA is coming for you. |
|
Tmac Unregistered guest | is limewire pro you pay for the music |

pissedoffipodowner Unregistered guest | the first time i plugged my ipod in everything worked fine, i added all of my songs and nothing was wrong, the problem came when i wanted to add a few new songs to my ipod, when i plugged it in to my computer (and ever since) i got a warning message telling me the ipod needed to be restored, which meant i had to completely erase all of the existing songs on it, then add every song in my itunes again. this has to be done every single time i want to add a new song onto my ipod...surely something is wrong here? any help would be appreciated |

New member Username: Katberry21Post Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05 | I have an ishuffle and itunes. I have made cds before by creating a playlist and burning a disc, but now when i do it it tells me that the songs in my playlist cannot be burnt to disc - when the songs are all ones i have burnt to disc before. Any advise on why its suddenly saying this? Thanks |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3785 Registered: Dec-03 | You probably have it protected. Whatever the case do not use iTunes to burn discs, use a different program. |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3786 Registered: Dec-03 | pissedoffowner go to your itunes click on edit click on preferences go to ipod tab from there click on "manually manage songs or playlists" this way the ipod does not renew all the songs everytime you dock it. |
|
New member Username: Katberry21Post Number: 2 Registered: Sep-05 | Thanks Berny Is there way to transfer all my songs from itunes onto My Songs so that i can burn discs from My Songs instead of itunes then? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3791 Registered: Dec-03 | Yes you can. You must first need to find out how and where the iTunes program is putting the copies of the CDs are being stored. Go to iTunes. Click Edit. Click Preferences. Click on Advance tab. Look at the window that says "iTunes Music Folder Location" and make a note of it, write it down. Do not close the window just yet. Now click on another tab called "Importing" On the Window that says " "Import Using:" click on the pulldown and choose "MP3 Encoder" Now click (on the same tab)"setting" choose "higher quality" or whatever you feel like choosing. There are other shortcuts in doing this but this is one that I've tried that does not hang in the burning process. Now that you know where the files are being stored you can refer to it when burning your CDs. The reason that we chose to encode on MP3 is because it is more universal and easier to transfer to a regular CD that can be played in a regular CD player. And if you want to make an MP3 disc, it is already in the right format. good luck and let me know how it turns out. |

reallyconfused Unregistered guest | I have an iPod mini. I usually charge it overnight for later use the next day. How come when I play my iPod mini, it only lasts for an hour, even though I've charged it for 7 hours or so? The battery bar thing on the top right is still full but there's a message saying that the battery life is low. Solution? |
|
ipodminiowner Unregistered guest | hey..how come the songs in my library are not equivalent of that in my ipod mini?? the songs in my mini is a lot less than the songs in the library. help! |
|
pissedoffipodowner Unregistered guest | itunes doesnt detect the i pod, when i go to that it says "no i pod detected"....so thats what i have gathered anyway, its not a matter of renewing all the songs, more an issue with restoring the entire ipod back to factory settings |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3818 Registered: Dec-03 | really confused, your battery is dying. Have it replaced if it is still under warranty. |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3819 Registered: Dec-03 | pissedoffipod, have you gone to apple.com? Under tech support, do a search on restoring your iPod. If it is under warranty call them or send it in for replacement. |
|
hicccup Unregistered guest | i've just switched from music match to itunes. i've updated my ipod software and downloaded itunes etc. i've got a whole load of music on itunes now but for some reason, itunes won't let me transfer the tracks onto my ipod. the ipod shows up but there's a little no entry sign on it when i try to drop tracks into it. it's doing my head in!!! |
|
New member Username: Katberry21Post Number: 3 Registered: Sep-05 | thanks Berny I have found all my copies of the cds i loaded onto iTunes, and I can make up folders of mixtures of the songs now and burn to disc from the My Music program instead of from iTunes - but one thing - I can't find the playlists that i had made up in iTUnes, they dont seem to have been stored - do i have to make up all new playlists in My Music? |
|

New member Username: RawseaPost Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05 | Both my roommate & I are experiencing the same problem while importing music into iTunes from cd's. We're using separate machines, I'm using a new Dell laptop and he's using a slightly older Dell desktop. The problem is the speed in which the music imports. This is very slow, in some instances the speed is "0.8x" or lower. Just recently while importing a cd, the speed of import for the 1st 13 songs was as it used to be, extremely fast (4.0x plus), then for the remaining songs back to "0.8x" or lower. This has been a reoccurring problem with music importing over the past few weeks. We'd previously imported over 6 gig's of music with no speed issues and now all of a sudden, the song takes longer to import than it does to play? What can we do? |

Unregistered guest | hey can you please help me please i dont want to sound like stupid but i cant get my ipod to be found as a source on my computer anymore..... i always have the cable in the same port and when i plugg it in....it wont appear in itunes or come up with a do not disconnect sign just a charge sign and it dont even charge great...... i can turn it on to look at the songs...but i want to be able to have it appear in itunes again help |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3851 Registered: Dec-03 | Kathryn Berry, I'm afraid that you do have to make up a new playlist. Once th eplaylist is taken out of iTune, it is usually gone. |

Anthony K Unregistered guest | Hey well about 4 months ago i borrowed my friends ipod, and i downloaded copy pod and took some of his songs. i then put the songs on my ipod. however, i deleted the original copypod songs, thinking that i didnt need them. but now even if i plug in my ipod and try to play the songs in itunes it says "the song cannot be located would you like to relocate it" or something like that. i would like to play the songs on my computer and burn cds, but i cant. could you please tell me how if i can? thanks |
|
elizabeth98932 Unregistered guest | whenever i plug in my ipod it deletes all of my songs even if itunes isnt open. i had over 2000 songs on it and now i have none. i only have 569 on winamp and over 1/2 of all of my songs came from the library and i really dont want to check out all of those cd's again and i dont even remember what most of them are, is there any way to get my songs back and if not is there a better program that wont delete the songs off of the ipod? |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3909 Registered: Dec-03 | It doesn't matter whether your itunes is open or not you have to go to preferences and make sure that the songs are managed manually and not automatically. |

Mesha Unregistered guest | Hi Does anybody know how to change the language on Itunes? It would really help. Thanks |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3931 Registered: Dec-03 | Lorie, the iTunes will not work on your computer, no matter what they say. It will always have issues. You need to get XP. And you complicated things further by hooking up your iPod to another computer. The iPod is a selfish little thing and full of quirks. Sorry but you have to upgrade. Did you not read the computer requirements on the bosx of your iPod when youpurchased it? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3932 Registered: Dec-03 | Mesha, Go look on your iPod's menu and you will see the settings there that you can change the language. |
|
Mesha Unregistered guest | Hi Berny, Well I tried that but it still doesn't change the language on Itunes(5.0) Thanks anyways |
|
Mesha Unregistered guest | Hi Berny Me again I figured it out, thank you very much though for your trouble. |
|
Unregistered guest | thanks anyway berny. i bought my ipod duty free, but i assumed that itunes would also work on my computer because it was a form of windows 2000. i'll get xp eventually, i'm sure! (even if it does take a while!) |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3942 Registered: Dec-03 | I'm glad it worked out for you Mesha. Have fun with your toy. |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3944 Registered: Dec-03 | Lorie, Sorry about your dilemma, good luck with your upgrade Now make sure that when you do upgrade...do not connect your ipod until the program to make it work is fully installed on the computer. |

Anonymous | Hi I had trouble downloading the new itunes version 5. I finally got it setup and when I plugged in my ipod it asked a question about libraries and as I only have one I clicked yes. Well needless to say I no longer have music on itunes or my ipod. All the music was deleted to a blank library.I use XP is there anyway to reverse this? |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3961 Registered: Dec-03 | try finding it in your recycle bin I doubt that has been deleted. It was probably moved to a different folder. If you know the file extensions ofyour music you can just do a search on it. |

|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 3991 Registered: Dec-03 | Elaine, I'm afraid that the iPod was designed for just a one way transfer. You cannot upload songs from the iPod to another computer. Read up on manual that talks about using the iPod as a removable hard drive (or hard disk). If you can save your music files on the iPod by way of the hard disk you can then transfer your files to the iBook. |

A couple of weeks ago my pc system crashed and i lost everything on my pc, including itunes and my library as well as my outlook contacts. My ipod was set to automatic synchronising and luckily still contained all my data. After re installing itunes i made the stupid mistake to connect my ipod and got the option whether i wanted to update the ipod. I choose Yes, and now all my music and contacts (adresses) are gone!! The last of all i had!! Is there any way i can restore all this lost data?? Please help! |
