Mac with iTunes

Hi, I am interested in buying an Apple laptop, but will need an external CD and hard drive storage drive as my iTunes library occupies some 200 GB now, is it feasible with a portable Apple device?  First thoughts go once the CD is downloaded on the HD, the HD must always be connected to use iTunes and how could an iPod or my iPhone sync in less than two or more USB ports are available?

Yes, a MacBook Pro will support an external optical drive and an external drive.

If you connect a USB hub to a USB port which will give you additional ports.

  • 5 Gen iPod will not sync with itunes 12 in 10.11.2

    Hello

    I had a timing problem, where the my iPod Gen 5 has not been recognized under Yosemite anymore. Upgrade to El Capitan - all worked ok until the first OS / X update for 10.11. Now, iTunes 12.3.1.23 as the iPod is not recognized.

    I've tried resets and hard disk mode - nothing has worked.

    To work around this situation, I ended up installing iTunes on a virtual 10 Windows on the same Mac computer. 10 Windows VM detects the iPod correctly and I am able to sync after that I added all the music and books audio to iTunes for Windows library.

    But, I want to turn on my Mac and have the Mac with iTunes for Mac OS sync my iPod. He worked for many years without problems.

    So, I want to come back under Mac OS, re-formatting, and sync as usual.

    Anyone have any idea why the rMAc fo iTunes is not recognizing iPod, iTunes for Windows works?

    iPod classic, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), iPod Gen 5

    Information module,

    the system log shows that these entries:

    10.12.15 15:32:38, 701 SystemUIServer [812]: try to set a time of iPods, if I don't have any client user.

    10.12.15 15:32:41, SystemUIServer 605 [812]: try to set a time of iPods, if I don't have any client user.

    Bus USB recognizes the iPod correctly and Parallels virtual machine also. The instance of iTunes in the Windows virtual machine recognizes everything is fine.

    Just iTunes 12.3.1.23 under native Mac OS / X 10.11.2 is not!

    For these last months, the computer commented that the itunes on the iphone was not updated and cannot sync.

    But the itunes on the iphone is the latest version. Is the obsolete software in my MacBook? What should I do?

    Operating system of your computer is obsolete. A device running iOS 9 requires Mac OS X 10.8.5 or newer for synchronization; a MacBook must have an identifier of model at least MacBook5, 1 to run a compatible operating system.

    The message to update iTunes refers to iTunes on your Mac - is your Mac on a high enough version of Mac OS X to support the required iTunes version? If this isn't the case, then your Mac can be changed?

  • He cannot sign with iTunes on iPhone

    Hello. I own an iPhone running OS 10.0.2 5s. I also have a Mac Mini running OS Sierra. In the process of upgrading to Sierra, I changed the password of my Apple ID.

    The problem I have is that iTunes on my phone does not accept my new password. So I can't launch the App store on the phone for updating applications. I just tried to update applications on my iPhone via iTunes on my Mac, but there were a few errors and a few apps has not updated. Normally in this case, I can update the applications using the App Store app on my phone. But I can't do it now because iTunes on my phone does not accept my password.

    Something strange is happening because this same password works fine on my Mac. I sign in iTunes on my Mac with the same Apple ID and password which is sent me errors on the phone. I am also able to connect in the Mac App store and this website, anything that uses the same user name and password. So I have no idea why iTunes on my phone does not accept the new password.

    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? Thank you.

    I had this problem once before - have you tried to remove your apple itunes and app store ID and add it again? This solved it for me when it happened.

  • IOS 10 is compatible with iTunes 12.2.2?

    My MacBook is old, and the last Mac OS can I run 10.7, which means that the last version of iTunes that I can run is 12.2.2. This allows to work with my iPad without problem from the Air, but never worked with my iPhone IS initially provided with iOS 9.

    The iPad don't often synchronize with my MacBook as it backs up from iCloud, but I wanted to put a few audio tracks on it. I tried today and it does not work. I get an error message "iTunes could not connect to the iPad" * iPad "because an invalid response was received from the device."

    I get the same messages with my iPhone SE. My guess now is the iOS 10 did update my MacBook even more obsolete by not being able to sync with my iPad. I searched around and can't find any configuration required for iTunes for iOS 10, so I'm not 100% it is the case.

    Is there any solution for this? Or is my correct guess, that iOS 10 is not compatible with iTunes 12.2.2?

    In addition, if it is not compatible, if someone has a solution of how to get music from my MacBook on my iPad (I noticed Amazon Music allows me to download tracks and then download them on my iPad, but with a limit) then I would appreciate if you could share!

    Thank you

    I'm afraid you're right. IOS10 requires iTuses 12.5

    As workaround solutions, I'm sorry, I don't have. I'm not a mac I have sync music on.

    But maybe someone else can help you

  • problem syncing iPod touch with iTunes

    Hi, I had a problem syncing my iPod touch with iTunes. I get a message indicating that there is not enough free space to hold items in the iTunes library, which indicates that I need about 43 GB.

    I tried to take as much data on my laptop thinking it would make more space available to my iTunes library which is held on my laptop.

    I had a problem some time with the storage of data files and program files. I divide the hard drive and I have a Macintosh HD 2, but also a main drive of the HD. I find that I have an iTunes library in two HD players, so I think I have a duplicate library.

    My iTunes app shows that I have a size of music library of-33,40 GB containing elements of 6940. My iPod touch has 6920 songs and 33 videos, 15 photos, 14 applications. The ability of the iPod touch is 56.4 GB, with 2.8 GB available.

    If the problem is the duplication of library, can I remove in double track of the HD2, and how to change tp parameters to stop duplication.

    Duplication of audio content seems to be a concern for you. If you have a desktop Mac, open iTunes/library/display the duplicate items. You can view and edit tracks easily.

    If you do not have a Mac desktop computer, the question is a bit tricky; There is no way to detect mp3 duplicates except manually.

    The good news is that the majority of your data bloat is likely to be in the 33 videos. I could most of the videos of archives and see what happens. (I have banned all THE videos of my iPod Touch and I couldn't believe how much I got space).

  • How to put music on iphone with itunes 7

    Hello

    I recently bought an iphone 7. I restored it to backup my iphone 6. My music on the phone is gone and when I sync the unit, it has no option to select the music that I want to put on my phone. Not all of my music is bought from iTunes, so it won't be sitting in the cloud where I can listen to that in WIFI. It's really annoying. I don't have the ability to select what I want, the message that appears on the screen is this: iCloud music library is on. iPhone can access your music library from iCloud. Songs can be downloaded and read via WIFI or cellular network.

    How can I fix it? I want my music on my iphone. H

    Hi natalia_s,

    Thank you for your participation in the communities of Support from Apple.

    Looks like you want to synchronize your iTunes music on your new iPhone Library 7. Let's see if we can get your music on your device.

    First of all, try disabling icloud music library on your computer and the iPhone 7.

    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, go to settings > music and tap iCloud music library to turn it off.

    On your Mac or PC:

    1. Mac: In the MenuBar at the top of your computer screen, choose iTunes > Preferences.
      Windows: In the MenuBar at the top of the iTunes window, choose the command Edition > Preferences.
    2. Select iCloud music library to turn it off.

    After turning off the iCloud library music, you should be able to sync your iTunes library by following the steps described in the synchronization of your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes on your computer via a USB port.

    Sincerely.

  • Problem with iPhone and iPad ios10 connect with iTunes version 12.2.2

    Yesterday, I upgraded my iPhone and iPad to ios10 successfully. However, when I try to connect to my Macbook OSX version 10.7.5 running with iTunes version 12.2.2.25 it gave me this error "iTunes could not connect to the iPad because an invalid response was received from the device." I got the same error when I connect my iPhone as well.

    Now I can't restore my iPad or iPhone in low-grade IOS because iTunes can not see my devices.

    Someone at - it this experience after upgrade to ios10?

    Hi Had3s,

    I understand that after updating to iOS 10, your MacBook is more recognized in iTunes. I know it's important to be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes, so I'm happy to help you.

    Read this article that covers some common troubleshooting for this issue:
    If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone, iPad or iPod - Apple Support

    Note that the likely cause here is an older version of iTunes. Since iOS 10 is still new, it is important to have the latest version of iTunes installed. Currently, it is 12.5.1, that requires OS X 10.9.5 or later version must be installed:
    iTunes - download iTunes - Apple

    Since you currently have OS X installed 10.7.5, you'll want to update to OS X as well. You can see more info on how to upgrade to the latest version of Mac OS X here:
    Update of OS X El Capitan - Apple Support

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!
