I suddenly got this problem. I cant get sound when I play music or tv shows on my computer in itunes. I can hear everything fine on the ipod but not on computer. This is a new problem and I wonder whether there is a conflict with real player since I have been using that a lot lately. Any suggestions, couldnt find anything in the itunes help library

Well, the only thing I can think of Maris, is that maybe muting one, actually mutes the other too. For example, I have Windows Media Centre which lets me watch/record TV on my computer. Sometimes I'll be watching TV, and surfing the internet, and I'll come across a YouTube, or something, and if I MUTE the TV (but keep it playing) it will also mute the YouTube. I've found that several different video sources run on the same "volume" line, so to speak, so muting one will mute the others. My solution is that I have to STOP or PAUSE the TV, so I can watch/listen to the other media source. As well, I need to keep the volume up on the original source that I adjusted the volume on, in order to hear on the second source. So turning down the volume on the TV, then going to a YouTube and turning UP the volume there doesn't always work. Try those things, let me know if that helps.

everything looked good on my itunes and other programs, so I ended up just doing a system restore to a month ago, before I was burning a lot of DVDs and CDs. That worked, sound is back. So somehow it is connected to either my burning DVDs or real player.

LOL - you're the only person I've ever met that has actually done a system restore AND it solved their problem. Glad things are working again.

Ok, this is driving me insane!!! I have updated my Itunes and double and triple checked that I have the most up-to-date version. I have restarted both the program and my entire computer numerous times. It does not show MOVIES to buy or rent!!! I have emailed apple twice now with no response, have no idea how long they usually take. Is this a Canada thing? Can we not get movies up here? Is there a secret to where you go to find movies besides the Itunes store? The only thing I can find online is to completely reload the Itunes and the Ipod which is NOT AN OPTION. I use my Ipod for nike+ training and will lose my data for the last 6 mnths. I am not confident it will work anyway, seems to be the cure-all advice they give for every problem.

It's only in the States right now. Here's how I get around it: I make up a fake address (with valid zip code) and just sign up for an iTunes US account. Unfortunately you can't use your credit card directly with the account because it doesn't match the address you signed up with, but you can buy iTunes US gift cards online, and just use those codes to buy your stuff.

No I'm not sure, but I think Netflix or something might have some online version. Look in the MOVIES folder here, as I think there is a Netflix discussion. Maybe ask the question there, and see if someone can help you. I'm not a big movie person myself, so I can't help you there. Wish I could!

I use cucusoft DVD to Ipod converter. It is a great program. I load a regular dvd into my computer, convert it to ipod and then save it in my ipod library.

Rissa, try MP3 Rocket, I hear from my son's friends that it's a one time fee, and they are always d/ling movies to their ipods. However, it does NOT work with Vista. Also, we just bought something called an "irecord" which is a little box that you plug into your tv and you can download directly to any mp3 player whatever is playing on your tv at the time. Haven't tried it yet to see how it works. Question for others: what is the best/easiest way to move your itunes library from an XP computer to a Vista computer? Keep in mind that the XP does not have a CD burner. Also, is there any way to move stuff directly from the ipod to itunes?

Yesterday I went to the Apple store and omg it was high tech lol. Anyhoo I went to get an Apple brand umm thingie to play my iPod in the car. I have one that I got from eBay that plays thru the radio but it has a ton of static that I just couldn't get rid of. Soooo I got the one that has the tape cassette thing and omg the sound is soooo much better. No static at all. I almost bought the Apple brand that plays thru the radio but then I thought nahhh no more radio waves lets try the cassette and I'm so glad I did.

Karuuna, do you have an external hard drive, or a wireless router by any chance? There are a few options: 1) iPod option - set your iPod's preferences to "Manually manage music". Then go to the IPOD'S music list, and delete everything (keeping your regular library still intact.) Also, set your iPod to "enable disk use". Once the iPod of cleared of all music/video files, open My Computer, then the iPod folder (which should be under "Removeable Media"). Open your music folder in another window, and just drag and drop everything onto your ipod, then move that whole ipod to the Vista computer, and reverse the process. 2) External hard drive - same drag and drop principle as the iPod, without having to clear your ipod. 3) Wireless (or wired) router. Set up a home network, and get all of your computers on the same network. Then, from either of the computers, drag and drop to/from the other computer. As for the LIBRARY, I think I was telling Egbok a few pages ago that there just isn't a way to get the LIBRARY itself over, with all your playlists and stuff intact. Playlists are computer specific, and it's a pretty big bummer. I HAVE found a cool thing, that let's you connect to any computer's library you want, over the internet. It's called Simplify Media and it let's you access all of your computer's libraries, even if they are all different. I have all of my files attached to my home desktop PC, so that's my biggest library. I also have school lecture mp3s stored on my MacBook, and then a few random files on my PC laptop. Anyways, you create a sign in/account, and then you associate computers with that specific account. So it's not like your next door neighbor can listen to your music; it's account based and you have to set it up on each computer. It even works with my iPhone; if my iPhone has an internet connection, I can listen to all 30 gigs of my home music. AND, it also let's you listen to the playlists on the other computers, IIRC, so it's a good way to keep your favorite playlists, no matter where you are.

Thanks, Eeyore. We do have flash drives galore, hopefully that will work? We have a wireless router, but I'll be darned if I know how to connect the computers to "see" each other on it. We've tried doing that with my Mac and my son's PC, and it works for awhile and then quits again. I"m a bit confused tho. When we've tried to move things from the ipod into itunes, it would never allow it. Is there something I'm missing?

I have copied my iTunes Library (exactly, with Playlists in tact) from my main computer to an external drive. I have then copied that Library to my laptop (to the location of the Library), overwritten the laptop's current Library and had duplicate iTunes information on both of my computers. This is from a Mac to an external drive to another Mac, basically using a drag and drop method. I know this doesn't address Kar's question but I wanted to mention it, FWIW.

My last hard drive got corrupted. Most of what was lost was my 7+G of music. Thought maybe I could transfer back from my iPod to iTunes on computer rather than importing all my CDs again. NO, it cannot be done. iTunes does not allow it. Forgot just why as a techie explained. IIRC, something to do with copyright laws on music that could be on iPod that should not go into iTunes on computer.

You CAN do it Colord, it's just a matter of changing your view settings to view "hidden files" and then making sense of the random name given to those files ON the iPod. It is NOT something that iTunes would do for you, but you CAN do it through Windows Explorer. Once you've set it to show hidden files, you can move all of those back over to your computer. Then, because the TAGS are all still intact, you can use a program like Media Monkey to "rename" the actual FILES based on the tags (and you can customize which tag information is used for this).
