Help with used iPod I just got - syncing and uploading a LOT of CD's

Hello All:
So I just brought a used iPOD on Ebay, and i'm totally new to using them. I believe it's the 6th generation classic, 80GB, black. I have two questions.
1) I get the message in itunes that only one library can be synced, do I want to erase the ipod and upload the library thats on my laptop. I assume this is some kind of copyright thing, and that theres no way to save the songs that are on the iPod to the laptop, since they were loaded onto the iPod by the previous owner?
2) I have about fifty CD's here I want to load onto the iPod. In my mind, i'm thinking I want to backup the iPod with all 50 CD's onto an external USB hard drive. I don't really want 80GB of data on the laptop internal hard drive that I use all the time. I poked around with iTunes for about a half-hour, and I can't see how to load CD's onto the iPod without loading the CD's onto the laptop internal hard drive and then syncing the iPod to load the CD's onto it. Forgive my ignorance, but is it possible to load CD's directly from the laptop CD-ROM drive to the iPod without going onto the laptop internal har drive first, and/or can I use iTunes on the laptop with an external USB hard drive and/or then go from the external hard drive to the iPod or from the iPod first to the external hard drive to backup the iPod?
THANK YOU,
Lee Bernhang

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
what i did was plugged my iPod back up, then when iTunes pops up, drag your 'music' section to your iPod. (you have to be in your library, not in the iTunes store)
mine synched automatically, and i had no problem ejecting it or anything.
no error messages either. and all my music is now on my iPod!
thanks to my dad. (: lol. hope this helps someone!

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

=> is this a different iCloud account for each device? I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data. If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s). If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own. In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own. Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID. The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes. Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.

=> what ID, iTunes? So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address? The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud. In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple. Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account. When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process. If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service. They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID.

Welcome to the Apple community.
The storage you who have purchased is iCloud storage, it is not extra storage on your iPad, you cannot add extra storage space to your iPad.

I still need help with my ipod shuffle(first gen)

my usb dosnt reconize ipod, i already have itunes..i have no clue about ipods, i just got it.is there supossed to be other software other then itunes, for the ipod?

Hello, Mjj2005
If you are running Windows OS. The requirements to use an iPod or shuffle are
Latest version of iTunes and Quicktime
You can get the latest version of iTunes with Quicktime by going to
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and choose Windows 2000/XP
There is no other software or hardware required.
Some Quick Tips. Try using different USB Ports on your PC and see if iTunes shows your shuffle. Your shuffle is going to appear in the left hand side of iTunes.
If you open iTunes and look at the left hand side. Look for an area called Devices. If you see this right below that will be your Shuffle name.
For better assistance with your iPod you might want to call Apple Support at
1-800-275-2273 where a helpful agent can guide you through these articles and assist you with any other questions you may have about your shuffle.

Andrew,
The iPod and iTunes are not compatible with Windows ME and the minimum requirements are Windows 2000 with SP4 or XP with SP2 (although I use several iPods and don't have SP2).
If you can't upgrade to one of these, then you can use the iPod with ME if you are prepared to fiddle around a little. However, you won't be able to use iTunes.
See this.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME
You can use iPods purchased in the USA here in the UK. Our family uses 3 such iPods.
You can also use the iPod on any number of computers as this document explains.
Using iPod with multiple computers
Whoever gave you you all this wrong info deserves to be shot!
Just one more thing Andrew. Please start your own topic in future instead of jumping in an interrupting someone else's with an unrelated query. It's know here as "threadjacking" and is against the discussions Terms of Use.
Good luck with ME!

HT1329 hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to get my music from my ipod to i tunes so that i can be able to transfer the music on my i tunes to my ipad mini can you help me with that ?

hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to transfer my music from the ipod to the itunes so that i can be able to transfer the music to my ipad can you help me with that ?

You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

I moved my music from the c drive to the d drive. All of my music is in itunes but my ipod won't sync with itunes. The syncing process is taking much longer than usual too. I left my ipod over night to sync and it didnt finish. Fails to sync every time.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPodin recovery mode use this prgram.
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hey Pancenter there are still lots of us about.
I wouldn't take the original post too seriously - I may of course be naive but it sounds like it could be a troll to me!
I learn a lot from reading the posts of the likes of you, Erik, Bee Jay, sampleconstruct, noeqplease etc so I hope you guys don't become too dispondent when you see posts like these.

The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?

No. You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.

My friend needs help with her ipod

My friend needs help with her Ipod. Here's what happened. She connected her Ipod to a casette adapter and the ipod just froze. She started doing the reset but to no avail. What do you think cause this? She really needs help so if anyone can suggest what to do that would be greatly appreciated.
I don't specifically know her ipod but I think that it is the Ipod 30gb.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
She needs to reset her iPod by holding down Menu and Select for 6-10 seconds...
Resetting iPod
It may take several attempts. The above link also has "tips" if the iPod does not seem to be resetting.
If she has tried many times, along with the "tips" and the iPod still won't reset, then she will have to wait for the iPod's battery to die and then she can charge it back up and it should work fine. The iPod should reset though.
