You posted yesterday & I asked you what's the format of the files you're having trouble with...
:rolleyes:

I am having a similar problem, but I want to add video from Limewire on to my video ipod. I am able to transfer the video files from Limewire into itunes, but once I try and update my ipod I get a message which says I can't copy these file onto the ipod because they can't be played. Is there a way that I can put these videos on my ipod?

iPod is more fussy than iTunes when it comes to video. How to transfer to my iPod (& iTunes) - for videoiTunes cannot open mp3Pro files, or ogg vorbis. If you're using Mac OS, then you can get a plug-in to allow importing of Ogg files. Also if you're using mac OS, you can get another program to convert mp3pro to aiff. Then import into iTunes & convert to apple lossless.

I NEED THE ULTIMATE BRAIN TO HELP A VERY CONFUSED AND LOST ME OUT!!

IM IN NEED OF A SERIOUS HOW-TO WALK THROUGH POSSIBLY EVEN THROUGH EMAIL OR AIM B/C IM THAT LOST!!!

Ok i have a apple ipod 5th generation 30gb.Iam trying and been trying (for literally the last 7 hours) to transfer my songs from limewire to my ipod.NOW i know you must transfer them to itunes first i did that. Ive also clicked file>add folder to library and got all my songs from my limewire onto itunes. BUT it goes into this category called SHARED under the DEVICES category and above the PLAYLISTS category. It says DEVICES and under it says OWNERS LIMEWIRE and when you click there it lists all my songs and you can play them etc. BUT you cannot drag them to anywhere on te left side.

IVE ALSO went to file>add music file then trying to just drag my limewire files into the library category on itunes and that didnt work!!

I went to advanced and click consolidate library thinking maybe that would help but i belive that did nothing but i dont even know.

AND YES i have it clicked under edit>prefrences to have files copied to itunes when adding to library

I disabled limewire as my default player and made itunes my default player.

I did all this checking of the boxes though AFTER i had added my limewire file of songs to itunes so should maybe i delete the folder then do it again?

I also read you should make a playlist on limewire then you can just add that to your itunes and its easier but i dont even know how to make a playlist on limewire

limewire and itunes HELP!!!!
 

Okay Birdy. This will be the 8TH BLOODY TIME through the forum. I have tried everything noted in this forum and have still not been able to transfer all limewire files into the itunes library and then into my ipod. I am frustrated! Can anyone else help me??????:mad: :confused:

Open up Limewire. Go to the library highlight the folder containing your files, then press explore.

Now close Limewire but not the folder that opened. Open up iTunes and then drag the files from the folder to iTunes.

Where are you having trouble...are files going to the iTunes library but not to the iPod, or are they not going to the iTunes library? Or are some files transferring, but not others?

Are you dragging & dropping, or using file > add to library? Have you tried both ways?

Do you have your iPod set for automatic or manual updates?

I'm sure you're frustrated & sometimes iTunes & iPods can be a pain. The reason that I yelled at you before was that you posted way too many times & it was a pain having to go & delete all those extra posts.

BTW since the apple site has rather unconveniently removed their video tutorials, since I had a few on my computer I have posted links to them in the thread you can access thru the link in post #4 above. Also posted a video tutorial by rkapsi who is now one of the LW devs. That one shows multiple techniques of adding files from LW to iTunes.
