It's possible that maybe something was changed in the name or the location of that song. As I said before, the song listings in iTunes are basically like shortcuts which point to the actual song. If you change the song's name or its location the link gets broken, iTunes will indicate this and Jaws will read something like "Invalid". You would have to go to "Add File to Library" in the File menu, find that file by browsing to the folder where it is located and add it again to the library. As for removing content, what is it you want to remove? Is it music? If so you might be best off by unchecking "Sync Music" and then press Apply or Sync and remove all music. Then check on your iPhone under Settings, General, About to see if any music is left, if so you can delete it there. Once your phone is cleared check the "Sync Music" again, then check "Synce selected playlists, artists and genres" and reslect all the music you want and resync it.

There were steps which I appeared to have missed when I was attempting to do it before and some of those steps appeared to be selecting what needed copying to the device now it reported one file could not be copied because it could not be found which was a bit odd as the file shows up in the album folder. Now how do I go about removing content from the device Ray T.

By the way, MP3 is fine, no need to convert to AAC. Sorry I can't help further, but without being able to trouble shoot on your computer and your phone it is difficult to tell you what's wrong. I think "KISS" is subjective, I find the process quite simply and straight forward and I am very happy Apple maintains the security of their devices by not allowing every Joe Dick and Harry access to the file system and hence I definitely wouldn't call them stupid.

I get the impression apple has never heard of KISS? Ray T.

I think the easiest way to do this is that you put all your music together into one folder. Of course you can use subfolders for artist and album and, if you like, you can use Genre as well. For example, I prefer to have my music in the music folder which is a subfolder of the iTunes Media folder which in turn is a subfolder of the iTunes folder. If you are familiar with how folder paths work, in Windows 7 the default location is as follows (I am assuming your Windows user name is "Ray": C:\users\ray\music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music I don't use Genre folders here since all the music in this folder is managed by iTunes and iTunes uses the associated ID3 tags to know which artist belongs to which genre, which song belongs to which artist and album etc. You can, however, make folders for "Alternative", "Classical", "Country", "Pop", "Rock" etc. if you wish. OK, so now in this folder I have folders for all the artists I have music from. If I have more than one CD by a particular artist I then have subfolders for each album and the songs are in these folders. For example, I have a subfolder in the above Music folder for artists such as Dire Straits, Eagles, Queen, Supertramp etc. In my Dire Straits folder I have further subfolder for the albums I have like "Brothers in Arms", Love Over Gold" etc. In my Eagles subfolder I have subfolders for "Greatest Hits", "When Hell Freezes Over" etc. I think you get the idea. OK, now to iTunes: Open iTunes and select "Add Folder to Library" from the File menu. A standard Open In Windows dialogue appears, browse to the Music folder by going to "My Music, then iTunes, then iTunes Media and then find Music. Tab to "Select" and activate it, this will add all the music you have in the Music folder including that in all subfolders to your iTunes music library. If you add more albums or songs you have to repeat this step. You can now check that you are in Music (if you use Windows Control+1 will do the trick" and I would highly recommend that you make sure the "Songs" radio button is checked and not "artists" or "Albums" or one of the other ones. This will allow you to enable the column browser. You can do this from the View menu or you can use Control+Shift+B for "Browser" to do so. If the column browser is active it allows you to nicely browse your music in iTunes by genre, artist and album. For example, if you select "Rock" from the drop-down list of genres and then tab a few times until you are in the songs list view, you see only the songs which belong to the genre Rock. If you select "Dire Straits" from the artist drop-down list you would only see all the songs by Dire Straits and if you select "Brothers in Arms" from the album drop-down iew only the 10 songs from that album would show. It works great, is super accessible with Jaws and a very nice way if you want to play music from iTunes. OK, now to the part of getting the music to your iPhone: Make sure your phone is connected to your computer with the USB cable. Find your phone in Devices and tab until you get to all the radio buttons like "Summary", "Info", "Apps", "Tones", "Music" etc. When you find the music radio button press the spacebar to check it. Now tab some more until you come to a checkbox which says "Sync Music" and make sure it is checked. Now tab 3 or 4 more times, 3 times will put you on a radio button which is read as "Sync entire music library" and if you want to sync everything you have in your music library then simply check it, tab a bunch of times until you get to "Apply" or "Sync" and press enter or the space bar. The sync will start and depending on how much music you have it could take a while. You can press F6 and it should take you to where you can check the progress of your sync, you may have to tab once after pressing F6. I have about 3,000 songs on my iPhone (about 20 Gb) and that takes I believe 20 or 25 minutes to sync over. If you have too much music and you only want a selection on your iPhone, then check the next radio button which is called "Sync selected playlists, artists and genres". After you check it you have drop-down list views for Playlists (if you have any), for "Genre", "Artist" and "Album. This allows you to, for example, sync all music from the genre "Rock", but I usually prefer to sync by artist. I tab until I get to where Jaws says "Artists Treeview" and here I can now use the down arrow to go through the listing of all artists and simply use the spacebar to check the ones I want. When I am done I tab to "Apply" or "Sync" and press enter and the sync starts. Note that sometimes it says "Apply" and sometimes "Sync", it doesn't matter what it says as long as you activate it. That's about it, it's a pretty simply and very accessible process, let me know if this works for you.

I could get it to the media folder but it did not transfer to the phone. What might I have been doing wrong? Also is it necessary to convert the MP3 files to M4A if so how does one make that happen? Or, am I just out in left field here? Ray T. Mahorney WA4WGA -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
