I'm trying to connect my ipod touch with my mac book pro and for some reason the ipod is not paired, it is conected and the mac is finding the ipod but not pairing it
The arror i get at my ipod is:
Make sure "maci" (my mac name) is turned on, in range, and is ready to pair.
What do I need to do to make it work?

This is not feature of the ipod touch. You cannot connect to a computer or another phone or device.
It is for stereo headsets/speakers and some peer-to-peer apps from the app store.

How to connect apple TV with 2 Macs?

Hi!
I have connected/linked Apple TV with the iTunes library from my iMac (wireless). ..... Now, I have also downloaded some movies from iTunes on my MacBook. So I connected the MacBook (wireless) with Apple TV, but when I open Apple TV in iTunes on the MacBook I just get the choice of two tabs: +information and photos+. How can I move the movies?
I think it has something to do with streaming, but I don't know how to get there.
Thanks for any advice!

At the bottom of Movies on AppleTV, do you see My Shared Movies - these new ones will probably be seen there as a second computer will be streaming only and it's content is selectable under My Shared.
The top library in Settings>Computers is the sync/stream library, any below are streaming only and cannot transfer stuff to AppleTV only stream it live when the computer and itunes are running.
Assuming both computers use the same account on iTunes, you could copy the movies from the Macbook (Show in Finder - copy the files do not move them or iTunes gets confused - if you want to delete do it from within iTunes) and add them to the iMac library.

How do I sync music onto old iPod when my music is on iTunes match? I have connected the iPod to my mac but it indicates no music to sink (as my music is in the cloud). I assume there is a simple way to resolve without downloading all music onto my mac?

How do I sync my music onto an old iPod when my music is located on iTunes match? I have connected the iPod to my mac but it indicates no music to sink (as my music is stored in the cloud). I assume there is a simple way to resolve without downloading all music onto my mac as this would be ridiculous?
Any halp with this would be excellant.
Thanks :P

Hi,
Your old pod can only sync with music that is physically in your itunes library and on your hard drive. Therefore there is simple way to resolve is to download your music to your hard drive.

How to connect 2 iPod classics with bluetooth

I am trying to sync photos between 2 iPod classics, iPad4 and iphone 5 with blue tooth. The only devices that are seeing each other is the iPhone and iPad but still hasn't' synced the photos. Why re the apple devices not able to see each other?

Because that's the way Apple have designed it. They have used a particular Bluetooth protocol that is designed to allow audio to be transmitted to Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth speakers (for example) and some peer-to-peer gaming between the devices, but not the transfer of files.
To transfer photos, Sync them via your iTunes programme. If you took the photos on the device, transfer them to your computer first and then Sync them with the other devices. For photos that were not taken on the device, they presumably were Synced from your computer originally, so simply Sync them to your other devices from the computer.
By the way, your subject question: "how to connect two iPod Classics with Bluetooth"...
You cannot. The Classic does not have Bluetooth.

My iPad is disabled and it says to connect to iTunes with my Mac. Its not working. How can I get my iPad to work?

My iPad is disabled and it says to connect to ITunes with my Mac. It still is not working.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Can i use my ipod with this mac

Sorry if this was asked before, but my problem and question may be slightly different.
I have an old 20 gig ipod that I've had since 1995. I have downloaded many songs from i-tunes and from my own cd's to my pc running widows xp. There are about 1300 songs on the i-pod
The pc was given away to a friend who transferred all my music to my macbook. The hard drive was removed. We did not deauthorize the pc---(I know-a mistake).
I-tunes and everything works and plays ok on the Mac. Even new songs I've ordered or put in from cd's work & play ok. But note--in the "library" section not all the tunes have the little check in the box next to them. I do not know why this is. I have no problem synching from this Mac to my i-phone.
So--my question is---can I now use (synch) the ipod with this Mac ?
Can I just plug it in an keep using it to update my library ? I certainly do not want to erase all the tunes on it and not be able to replace them. What exactly do I have to do ?
Any help and detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated----Thanks---Jerry

I have a similar problem. I have a 60 GB old non video ipod. It connected to my old G5 with a firewire plug. Ihave been running it for eight or more years. When I upgraded to new IMAC and MacBook Pro 15 in. They do not have inputs for the end of the cradle. One end has the same wide flat connector now used by ipod touches. I have a new third gen IPOD touch. I was able to sync both ipods with both the two old computers and the two Snow Leopard macs. I must have accomplished by sharing in Itunes preferences.
It has been awhile. Anyhow, now I am trying to sync the oldest IPOD. It doesn't show up on my new IMAC as a device. I suppose because it isn't pluged in. I tried disconnecting my 1 T external hard drive to see if I could use that input. But I don't see any port to connect my older IPOD? How do I add music from CD to new IMAC and sync it onto the old IPOD. I feel so lame. Please someone. I have read lots of books on IPOD touch and IMAC Portable, Snow Leopard. Maybe I need to check them out of library or buy one. Please advise. Spinning wheels.

How do i sync iphone with multiple macs? and few questions

Hi
I would appreciate if anyone would help me.
1. I would like to know how to sync my iphone with different macs. I have a macbook 13 and a macbook 15 and would like to use BOTH to be able to transfer data without losing them. (address, apps, photos and music)
would like to use this feature if I were to be suddenly on a trip and a friend would like to share some of his files (audio, apps, photos..etc)
2. is it possible to use internet tethering on multiple macs or example a "spontanious" mac? (ex. if I were suddenly to use internet through usb on a friends mac while we were on a trip but it were programmed on my mac at home)
3. my internet tethering is only working on one mac which I usually use to sync everything... i tried just using tethering through usb on the other mac wihtout any sync but somehow it didnt work... usually i just plug and play and start using firefox... by automatic detection...
4. is there also a way to copy files from iphone onto a mac which would not be one of my libraries?
5. why cant i use iphone like the ipod as a disk use?
I am aware that these things are somewhat possible because i have read quiet a few artivles but they are sadly enough not so current... any help appreciated.

#1: As has been said, you can't get around it. An iPhone cannot be synched to more than one computer for any media content (it can be for contacts and calendar information, I believe).
#4: You can transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store to another computer but only if you disallow synchronization and authorize that computer to your iTunes Store account. There are third-party utilities that can transfer non-iTunes Store content.
#5: there is no disk mode in an iPhone and no way to enable one, at least not in the sense of disk mode in earlier iPods. There are third-party apps that allow some file transfer to and from an iPhone.
I can't help with tethering questions.

HT4929 I have 2nd generation I-pod which does not meet requirements for ICloud. However, I was told that after I moved to ICloud if I connected my iPod to my Mac via the USB connection that my calendar and contacts would sync, but this didn't happen.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod and just moved to Icloud. I had been told my an Apple tech that although my contacts and calendar would not sync automatically I could connect the Ipod to my Mac via the USB port and ITunes would sync the calendar. Now I find that this is not happening. I am not happy that I will have to enter/edit calendar and contact info on two devices. Is there something I can do to fix this problem? Thanks.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

Try using RecBoot to kick it out of recovery mode. If that does not work, try a manual install, as outlined in link below. If it STILL keeps entering recovery mode, you most likely need a new logic board.
