Recommended Posts

Right im new to itunes and i need some help, i have music on my computer (no CD) can i upload it onto itunes and then onto my ipod, if not, is there any way i CAN do it?

New question:

Can i change the name of the song on either my ipod or itunes?

And

I download all my music from like YT and alike, so when i upload it to itunes, is there any way i can put it into groups or albums because EVERYTHING is under an "unknown" album at the moment.

New question Post 18.

Indeed, right click on the song in your iTunes library, and click 'get info' where you can then fill in the artist/album and all that..

Could also try downloading one of those 'music fix up' programmes which will auto fill in all the blanks and unknowns, I had one and it got a few wrong and only let me fix 50 songs before I purchased the full version.. But maybe worth a try :)

Hope that helps

Scratch that. get a program called MP3tag, it's free and can connect to music databases on the web to sort out your music tags, providing the original files have some sort of info in their tags for the program to search with.

Surely it's only the demo version that is free, so there will be restrictions? E.g you can only do 100 songs per day, or something. It would be pointless to give the full version out for free? :P

Bump, new question.

Right im trying to get some videos onto my ipod from youtube, im using this site [ http://www.zamzar.com/url/ ] I've used it before, its reliable and everything although im not sure what file type i need? I've tried "ipod" file type but then i couldn't get it into itunes and sync it. I assume i need to put it into the films part of itunes?

Basically i have no idea what im doing :lol:

I have had a google.

And on the apple website they show itunes like this with all the logos/categorys with colours

Make sure you are downloading in less than 720p.. iTunes won't do HD. You'll also be wanting MP4 :)

Ipod/iphones play .mp4 and .mov and what ever else that I can't remember.

But skip the ipod video player and use VLC app to play your videos, if you have say an iphone 3gs/4/4s or the new ipods you can play videos without having to encode them first. You just sync it through the app tab in itunes.

Yeah im using either 360 or 480

iTunes should be able to dot he conversion for you. Drag it into iTunes and it's something like right-click, convert for iPod.

I have been trying this, and the file: - add file to library - file (the video i try to add) and itunes doesn't do anything, its like i've just sat there doing nothing, i dont understand it..

I used the mp4 file :)

Now downloading the VLC app, will try that out :) do i have to download them or does it stream from a wifi connection? Because im after some videos to keep on the ipod wifi connection or not.

EDIT: cant get it to work, its just like scanning for computers and has been for ages.
