Just got a new computer...d/l itunes...authorized it and tried to sync my ipod (to transfer my music)...

Apparently it will only transfer music I purchased from itunes (and even then, it didn't transfer some songs I recently purchased!!!)

I tried importing songs from the hidden music folder, but I had to do that 1 at a time...talk about a waste of time! So I'm trying to copy the songs to a folder on my hd, to hopefully try to import into itunes when they are done transferring.

Will this work? I'm so pissed...itunes makes life so friggin' difficult!

this is definitely user error - maybe you should try googling some instructions that you can follow

the instructions i found told me to manually import the songs, thankyouverymuch.

I'm not manually importing like 500 songs, 1 at a time.

just do the add folder thing or drag them all into the library.. importing just moves them to a new location so itunes can manage the file. either way works

did someone miss the memo that mentioned that apple hard/software on PCs sucks donkey balls?

^^that isn't working. it will let me select the folder but nothing is imported.

i followed this when switching from my thinkpad to an imac. it worked fine.

hahah itunes! unless you have a mac, be prepared for data loss and frustration.

no really, try out winamp, and i hope you have your music backed up.

In my experience, "sync" is apparently apple-speak for "format drive"

7/16/2008 4:42:26 PM

^^^tried that also...I can do everything but when it comes time to use itunes, and to find the new music where it should be, there's nothing there. its like I'm trying to copy a ghost!

I know I am in the minority but I've used itunes for 6 years now and never had one problem (knock on wood )
