Galaxy Nexus Media?

Can someone please help and tell me how I can transfer media from itunes to the phone? With my Razor the music and movies was easy to just drag and drop but with the Nexus it wont take the files. Is there something wrong with my phone or is it all Nexus?

Ive downloaded Samsung drivers for mobile phones and still noting. I cant transfer files from my Pc. Is anyone else having this issue? If so how can i fix it?

Mine is doing that same thing. Been googling the problem. I've not seen a solution yet. My PC can see it when I hook it up via the supplied USB cable, but the date transfer is so slow it would take hours to move 5 MB of data.

BTW, Verizon, now would be a great time to creat a Samsung Galaxy Nexus forum and get some of these posts in a device specific listing.

And you've had this PHONE for how long??

I'd give it a few days to see if a solution comes up somewhere. Are you sure the movies are in a file format that the phone can see?

Geri, ive had the since Wednesday. A solution needs to come up or this phone is going back. The razor that i have for work will take the movies from itunes and all my music. Plus in the car the Nexus will not stream audio as great as the Razor thru bluetooth. All of the movies are MP4 and the music is MP3 and from what ive researched the Nexus will read both. I think its the fact that we are not using USB mass storage and we are using MTP

Like NuDroid, I also use iTunes Syncr and the WiFi addon. I tried DoubleTwist and just the regular iSyncr options (via USB) and it would not transfer. I have been able to sync my playlists, however, thorugh AirSync (DoubleTwist) and the iSyncr WiFi add-on. Unfortunately, you have to pay for both of these.

Yes but your Fascinate has USB mass storage which makes it easy to transfer files. The nexus does not have it. The nexus has this thing called MTP. Which i have that MTP makes it hard to transfer files. Ive been reading on google that evryone hates that USB mass storage is not on the Nexus. How does that iSyncr work?

Well, the regular iSyncr doesn't work with the Nexus as well (due to the MTP), so I have had to use wireless syncing. It runs surprisingly fast and was able to sync 800 songs in less than 1 hour on my home network. I tried a bunch of USB methods, but none seemed to work.

iSyncr pretty much scans your iTunes and mirrors it onto your device. Easiest sync I've dealt with. Software is VERY minimal, less than 1MB. Pretty much just a checklist of what playlists you want (or your entire library), and you can do it all from your phone. Then you choose the playlists you want on your phone, and it syncs it wirelessly. Def worth the ~$6, have used it on all my Android phones since I use iTunes a lot. Completely synchronous

Are you able to drag and drop? I haven't tried that, because I rely on iTunes auto-playlists (which iSyncr tracks and updates)

I purchased iSyncr ($2.99) and iSyncr WiFi add-on ($.99), and there is a piece that goes on your workstation. You load iTunes with your music, pictures, videos, playlists, and then you tell iSyncr WiFi which playlists and folders to sync, and when. Right now I have it set for 10:30 PM at night, when my phone is usually on the charger, and I turn WiFi on before I plug it in, and it sync's everything down from iTunes. Now the cool part is if I buy a song from Amazon and put it on my phone, iSyncr realizes it and when it does the sync at night, it will put the music or pictures, or whatever I told it to, up onto my computer into iTunes. All wirelessly, never connecting to the computer. They also have a MAC version of the apps also, in case your iTunes is on a MAC.

They make a free lite version if you want to try it out, it is limited in the number of songs you can sync, other things that it will not do, but you can try it for nothing to see if it works for you.

Do i need to install it on my computer or phone? I use itunes for everything. I have all the latest movies and Southpark seasons and Family Guy. I have 1000 songs i really like to have on my phone would it take long to get them in my phone? I have Verizon Fios wifi. It gives me 16 mb download and 15 upload. Iys pretty fast so im hoping i can do it. Let me know if you can help out a little more. Im going to google it.

It goes on both, iSyncr (for USB connection) and iSyncr WiFi (Sync over WiFi) will be on your phone, and they will tell you where to download the computer piece. Easy to setup, and then you can sync your existing playlists and things with iTunes. That was the big thing with me, I could find a hundred ways of getting the music to my phone, but I wanted the playlists... This was the best and easiest way I found at the time.

Can you also put in the 3000+ plus songs if i wanted to from itunes and not just the playlist? What about movies how long do those take?

You setup iSyncr and mark which playlists to sync, so if you wanted all the music, just create 1 playlist and assign everything to it. Then every night, it will compare the playlist in iTunes to the playlist on your phone, and bring down what it needs to.

As far as movies and how long, I am not sure, because I am usually sound asleep when this happens... :smileywink:

I was able to move files as follows (it's not through itunes, though):

Settings -> Storage -> menu (I don't know what those 3 dots are called) -> USB connection and connect as Media Device

Once your PC recognizes the phone, you'll have to go to My computer and there should be a designated drive for the phone. Click on it to open the drive and you should be good to go.

THANK YOU!!! That was driving me crazy! :smileyvery-happy:

THANK YOU NUDROID!!!! I was able to get all my music with the iSYNCR. I did buy both the WIFI and the Cable app. I was able to connect the phone and as soon as it would read all my playlist i just had to check the box of the the stuff i wanted on my phone.

Man that app worked great. But i have just one more question how the hell do i use the WIFI Sync? I have downloaded the server and the app on my phone but i nothing happens. I would hardly use it but it couldnt hurt to know how?

This article also has a video of how to transfer your Itunes or windows media player lists to google music. It is a easy process. The forums on that site can answer any questions you have at all about your phone. Beware the sarcasm though it is a tech forum.

How did this thread get the "solved" banner? Verizon, you can't transfer photos from your pc to the phone with the equipped software. Downloading third party software or emailing the photos from my pc to my gmail account isn't exactly "solving" the problem.
