iTunes / iPod

Right I'm thinking of backing up my songs
As I'm also thinking of having my laptop wiped due to 'infection'
Do I just copy over my songs saved in my documents onto a memory stick?

Saw that and just immediately thought of '28 Days Later' and your laptop being a crazy zombie thing

Yeah, my girl recently cleaned up her laptop, and cos ive got a 320gb external harddrive, she copied everything onto that and it worked fine

Nice 1 mate
Just copied some stuff (songs + FM10 stuff ) onto my memory stick

Can't forget the FM10 stuff

Got the free trial of that TuneUp thing you recommended up there JD and gave it a whirl last night. Good stuff that, may fork out for it and use it a lot more. Really does a great job. Especially love getting the cover art for my albums!

Downloaded some family guy and south park episodes, and saved them into the movies area on my iTunes a while ago
But they haven't shown up on my iPod touch as i have just updated it???
Have I saved them in the wrong area for them to go on my touch?
Or could this be because i deleted the shows from my folder?
Cus there's only the 'video' section on my touch so...
Help?

How the f*ck do I get photos from my iPhone, onto my PC, so I can then play with them as I would with any other picture taking device. I.e, photoshop some hairs on my chest, etc.

EDIT: Swerve that entirely. You can get them drag and drop style from My Computer.

Just had to restore me iPod touch, but all me music & videos are gone   

Anyone know how to get it back?

Just load them back up from your PC. I think that's the only way.

Nice one, but I don't tend to keep music after downloading it   

Starting from scratch as we speak, 1200 songs to go    

So, some help needed.

So i had to send my computer off to get fixed as the hard drive fu**ed itself. Got it back today (finally) and i have unfortunately lost EVERYTHING. It's a brand new computer, basically. Which, i really didn't have anything of great importance so whatever. But, my issue is this: What will happen when i plug my iphone into the computer? Will it reset it since it isn't synced to this computer anymore, and lose all my music and all that? What can i do to get around that? Anyone have any ideas?

Had this issue before mate.

Sorry to be a bearer of bad news in this instance.

But from my experience it will say that e.g. "Dave's Ipod is synced to another Itunes" The only thing you can do is probably restore it, losing all your music in the process. That was my experience anyway F***ing twice allready!

Someone else maybe knows better?

There is another way.

Allows you to take your music from your iPod and transfer it straight onto your new computer. Definitely works - I did it when my main computer broke to put my music onto my laptop.

Ah! Fantastic! I shall give it a go and let ya know what happens.

Ok firstly, sorry if this should be taged on to an other thread but I searched I could not find one.

My wife has had a Nano for 8 months now, and I have not got to grip with the software/user interface of iTunes. Generally, How the hell in Zeus' but hole do you import albums. First of all it imported every sodding album on the PC, which I had to delete every sodding track individually!!!
We have created an "album" of fast running songs, from various albums, renamed them, so they would have the same Artist, Album Title, Year, genre etc not to confuse the piece of sh*t But HOW THE FU*K DO YOU IMPORT A SODDING ALBUM!!!!. I noticed in the Apple shop, that they actually give lessons on how to use these things that come with NO software, NO charger, NO manuel, which makes me think they are not that easy to use in the first place.
What makes he want to pull my hair out is that I am very computer literate. All the other MP3 things that I have easy!, Copy and Paste, no problem, but Apple, OHHHHHHHHHHHH no, we are special, we can not allow you to have any independence, or give you a freakin' clue. Nothing to say, import album, download file, or a visible folder you can Copy and Paste. FU*KING NOTHING!! So any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank, Maddog, aka RedPuppy

18 month update! After a free lesson from the Apple shop, all is sorted. (mainly due to my acquisition of an iPhone). Anyone else having problems, I urge them to visit there local Apple shop.

Another "daft" question. Sorry for being lazy, but....

If you buy an Album from iTunes, can you burn it to a CD?

I think you can, but I just want to make sure.

Yeah you can.

In iTunes, drag the songs in to a new playlist (on iTunes, not on your iPod/iPhone) and then go in to the new playlist. Then click:

File>Burn Playlist to Disc

Hey presto!

Yeah you can.

Sorry never got back to you... Cheers

On the updated iTunes, you can buy a new computer and then link set it up using the same iTunes account in your house over wifi. You can then share the same library, but both computers have to be on. This now allows you to easily put your existing music library from your old computer onto your new one.

It's miles better. As before it was a bloody nightmare.

Is the iphone number on the back of the phone?
I presume it is a code rather than the contact phone number

Well now that I have converted those pesky .flac files. http://www.lfcreds.com/reds/index.php?topic=18333.0

I am now having problems uploading the album art.

"Get Album Artwork" does not work as it is a 3rd party download.

So I am copy and pasting the artwork Get Info tab, and just not working, this has worked fine before but not this time.

Any tips?

Anyone know how to get a list of the tunes/albums that you have in your iTunes so you can print them off?

Me again.

Can to save/burn an album from iTunes to a USB stick?

Or do you have to burn them to CD and then import import them back as an MP3? on a separate file?

Err... You could put the USB stick into your computer and then open the folder with the files on it. Select the songs, right click and choose open with iTunes
