FINALLY synced my music...thank you :) I have tried and tried. Didn't want to download all the music, just checked the ones I wanted, didn't realize I needed to create a playlist on iTunes to do so.
I want to sync all thats in my library to my ipod without erasing what I already have on my ipod? Some say to open iturnes first before you plug in ipod? All I've watched on youtube they explain to fast and you explain so well. The more elderly folks you have to understand don't go as fast. Thanks for your videos
THIS. WAS. AWESOME!!! Thank you so much! I do many projects where i love to use my little ipod with bose wired headphones, and this is what I needed to update my list! Thank you ❤
David u have been a lifesaver to me just got my new iPod it’s a 256 gb 7 gen touch I have 9313 songs for now I still had my old dinosaur iPod I got back in 2002 till today it has been drove over a few times dropped billions of times it was a 160 gb it has lasted me all these years still have 115 gb left u have saved me tons of time trying to figure it out somehow I just ended getting it right then next time I do it I forgot so now it’s time for my dinosaur to retire it hurts got a think 6 gen years ago but that couldn’t hold my music hubby didn’t know how much music I had now I have to update all of the others my hubby and my daughter’s iPod now I don’t have to pull my hair out trying to figure how to do this so a major huge thank you 😊 for the help
I bought a used iPod 4G Classic several days ago. iTunes has a very steep learning curve. It was only by experimentation, on my own, that I learned the basics. I am still learning. The device works excellently now that I can actually use it.
This works great with my iPod. However, what do I need to do differently to sync music to my Shuffle? The songs/files on the shuffle do not show up within the folder for it. I believe the existing shuffle songs were loaded using a PC but I now use a Mac so is there a formatting issue I need to address? Thank you.
Nice tutorial brother i just want to ask you wNice tutorialch software is easy and best to learn as DAW soft soft or abelton live. Pls reply as soon as you can
I just wanted to transfer 5 songs from my iTunes Play List to my iPod. However, as soon as I try to click in the "SYNC" box a window pops-up that says: "Are you sure you want to remove existing music from this iPod and sync with this iTunes Library?" I don't want to do that. I just want to put the 5 songs on my iPod. What should I do?
I struggle each and every time I buy new music and videos. I have a music video that I bought that just won't move over to my ipod. I actually held off on buying some new songs that I was excited for because of this struggle. Today I bought them. Went to create a new playlist and it is greyed out. Already frustrated.
Thank you, but I now have iPhone XI MAX. I prepared a tone to act as a ringtone, but the new menu lacks "tones". Has MAC given up on home-made ring tones?
I have my music organized in itunes the way I want. I have an old ipod that I would like to replicate that organization. I have been told my ipod was too old to do that and I am willing to purchase another ipod that is capable of that replication, but I don't want to make that purchase before I know it is capable. I only use my ipod for music when out walking so all I need is an ipod. Can you help ?
Help - when I download my itunes music library songs... it is all "cloud" and not actually fully stored on my ipod. How do I download my itune songs to my ipod without them being "in the cloud?" Thank you!
i have 3 authorized devices and i just recently noticed that devices have not been syncing automatically...cuz i use to put a song on my mac desktop and then momentarily it would be on the other devices...how do i get that back Also i've noticed above the library title, there is a drop down list that has Music, Movies, TV, Podcast, Audio books, This Computer, and My Library...so the recent songs I've put in are library on "This Computer" and the other songs are in "Music" ...I need to merge these 2...can u tell me how
I don't want to add to a playlist, but just add new purchases that I made on Itunes, but nothing will copy, even after trying what you said. Help! I don't know what else to do.
David, I have a more in depth question and one that frustrates me. Suppose I change my iPad from an iPad Air to an iPad Pro and I want to transfer music that I have saved on the iPad Air. Some of this music includes songs that I have loaded from CDs and when I try to transfer to the iPad Pro, the songs that I recorded from CDs will not transfer onto the new iPad how can I do this?
You made this video in 2013 it appears. Today is 2019 and on the latest iTunes I can’t see those sync buttons, etc. after HOURS I managed to get a song into iTunes but when I synced the iPod the song could not be found on it. I gave up and used iKlips USB device and put the music into the NOTES app. I’d rather have it in the iPod music section.
Hi David! I have just found your tech classes online especially regarding syncing your itunes music library to your ipod. It was very good and hope to put into use. Thank you very much for your insight and straight talk non mumbo -jumbo for those of us that are not as tech savvy as yourself! Take Care David - I'll drop you a line via email about my little tech problem. Cheers!
This is great, but my problem is I don't have "devices" that shows in the left panel with "Library" and "Playlists" . My iPod is plugged into my laptop and is charged. I have no idea how to connect with the iPod. I've checked out books from the library and looked at numerous UA-cam videos. Any ideas? Thanks!
On the sync music tab I clicked the the box where it says sync music it brought up a box asking me if I want to remove existing music from my ipod and sync with iTunes library...some1 help do I click remove and sync or cancel?
Hi so when I connect my iPod….it does not show me anything except that my iPod is connected…..by the way I love your video….very clear and helpful…I’m 71d years old and I can follow it easily….can you help me with the first part of my comment »?
I have an 8Gb 1.2 version iPod that I have always switched music around on. Currently it will not let me add music from my iTunes library; newly added, downloaded music. I had to remove/delete music and then purchase it to my library and add one song at a time. iTunes no longer allows 'Playlists' to be dragged over to the iPod. What's up?! It tells me I can only do this if synced to iCloud. Sorry my OLD iPod doesn't have that capability.
I am still unable to sync my music from my mac to my 5 generation nano. The system won't let me export the songs into my ipod. It keeps kicking me out. Please advise.
I had an ipod classic stolen whilst on holiday, just got back and had a spare 160GB and went to synch but all kinds of issues, had to restore ipod, computer wouldn't recognise ipod after restoring etc. Couldn't get it to synch but one good thing I got from this was making a playlist, just made one of everything I'd lost on the stolen Classic, couldn't get it to synch so instead dragged and dropped the playlist into the ipod on the sidebar and it's now synching, hopefully...
Hello i cant sync any of checked songs on ipod touch generation 7 just set up new itunes 12.2 on laptop windows 10 and tried about everything and nothing will sync it even did a playlist just keeps saying itunes cannot sync error code-54 any solutions please
My iTunes has 2 playlists. One is completely fine and the other playlist has a few of the folders. How do I get rid of the rogue list and not lose the good list. Help 🤓😩
I use a MacBook Pro. Mid 2012 model. My iPhone is the XS Max running on iOS 13. I’m here because my music syncs to my iPhone but it does it very slow. I have a library of 45,000 songs. It use to take about 5 hours to sync all 45,000 songs to my iPhone. Now it’s takes about an hour and a half to even do 1,000 songs. Does anyone know why it syncs so slow nowadays when just several months ago it was much faster. I’m running MacOS Mojave because it still has iTunes but even with macOS Catalina it still syncs slow. Is it some settings in my iPhone or MacBook I accidentally triggered or maybe the iTunes preferences. I understand my Macbook is old but it was going fast just months ago. How can I speed up the syncing process again? Also not even all my music syncs anymore. It use to take up about 400GBs on my iPhone now it’s only taking up 177GBs and some music just isn’t there even though the audio bar shows 45,000 songs but only taking up 177GBs in the iPhone’s Summary tab.
but my problem is when I click sync then it says some of my music can’t be copies... and even after sync some of my music, they didn’t even show up on my ipod... so confuse and still don’t know how to fix that
When I hit sync.....a box pops up and asks me if i want to remove what is on the ipod and replace the new list...I just want to add the music....also when I go under FILE....it only ask if I want to Transfer Purchases from Ipod...what am I doing wrong?
Best Mac tuts anywhere! Thanks millions! From a 74 year old life long (1984, the first 128k Mac) user!
Nuclear science is easier than figuring out how to transfer your album from computer to ipod.
