ITunes 11.1.3 and a 160 gig Classic iPod....

I got a brand new imac and I have an ipod classic 160. Everything synced musically etc etc but I do not see calendars. Is there no way for the classic to sync with calendars since it is not backed up to the icloud? I exported all the calendars and dragged them into the calendars folder on the ipod as it was disk enabled and everything shows up but my question is going forward....what or how does it sync or am i just SOL since I don't have an iTouch.
Any insight?
Thanks!!!

Select "Show Sidebar" under View menu, you will then see the familiar iTunes sidebar and you'll be able to select your iTunes playlist and drop songs into your iPod playlist.
Select "Hide Sidebar" under View menu, select iPod button top right, select "On this iPod" tab, select Music, click "Add to.." tab on top right which will pin your iPod to the right window, then select Playlist view tab, and drag and drop your songs to your iPod playlist.
Other option is using "right click" or the "triangle" dropdown next to songs, select "add to playlist", and scroll to your iPod playlist.
There are are no multiple windows in iTunes 11, and you can't move songs between iTunes playlists using the right sidebar, but it works for moving iTunes to iPod playlists.
iTunes 11 attempted to simplify its interface and ease-of-use but failed miserably. Make sure to select "Enable list view in all media" in iTunes Preferences for easier navigation.

  • 160 gig classic cover?

    Sounds kinda dumb with the problems some of you are having, but I'm trying to find a silicone skin for my 160 gig classic and am out in the boonies. Would appreciate any help you can provide for online locations for finding a good cover to protect my iPod, prefereably silicone, but a hard case would be OK too. I have a leather case that came with it but it's thick and bulky and I'd like something a little more sleek. Thanks.

    Games can only be played on the iPod. They cannot be viewed via the TV.

    I recently had my computer redone and had to redownload itunes on my computer and when I synced my ipod none of my music went into my library.  How do I get my music that is on my ipod into my library on itunes?

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone .  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • Purchased, mp3 and Podcasts won't sync to 160 gig classic

    I have a six-month-old iPod Classic 160 gig, with about 90 gig of music and 10 gig of video on it. In the last two weeks, though, iTunes tells me that 109 tracks won't sync, with the error message "because they cannot be played on this iPod." Some of them, homegrown movies, I understand, but others are either podcasts downloaded through the iTunes store, purchased music (Sheryl Crow's new album) or recently ripped tracks that I did through iTunes using either 128 AAC or Apple Lossless. Most of the ones I've noticed to date were imported in the last 2-3 weeks, and play fine on iTunes, just not the iPod.
    I've tried restoring the iPod and deauthorizing then reauthorizing the computer. Neither works. The next step, I think, would be to rebuild my library, but I have tons of playlists I don't want to recreate (or export/import one-by-one, which is how it looks like have to do it).
    I can't help but wonder if this is something related to the latest updates to iTunes, seeing as how it's a such a new phenomenon, and there seem to be several similar posts (although not exactly my situation) in discussions.
    I welcome any and all suggestions!

    Podcasts are completely independent of Apple and iTunes, they're not from iTunes itself. All iTunes does is list the podcast and tell iTunes where to go and find it if you ask to download it. There are other (non-iTunes) Podcast catchers which do the same thing for other MP3 players. So I think that when listing podcasts on iTunes, Apple/iTunes does not consider it's playablity - because it's a podcast and that's the way of Podcasts! Also, the podcaster has probably not produced these podcasts specifically for the iPod and so has not realised that they don't work on our iPods as you and I expect them to.
    You could try sending feedback to the podcast creator, explaining that their Podcasts don't play on the iPod itself. They may +_or may not_+ do something about it.
    I've had this problem with both audio and video Podcasts. There is an option to convert selections for the iPod which I have tried for the videos, (click on the top menu and *Advanced/Convert selection for iPod/iPhone*. However, this process takes forever and I gave up trying it. I simply watch them in iTunes. I cannot actually remember what I did for the audio Podcasts, but if I right-click (in Windows that is..) on an audio Podcast, I see the option to *convert selection to AAC*. I don't promise that it will work, but you could give it a try.
    As for the Sheryl Crow album , if it was purchased from iTunes, I would expect it to play on the iPod without converting it. The same goes for tracks ripped using iTunes on your PC. I can't explain that, perhaps someone else can?

  • 160 gig classic froze as soon as plugged in

    I plugged my 160 gig iPod classic into my computer to sync it, and as soon as I plugged it in, it completely froze and remains lit up and frozen. It also will not show up in my iTunes as a plugged-in device. Please help!

    I can assure you that Lenovo support is excellent. It's handled by the same original IBM division in Atlanta Georgia. They are there for you 24/7 every day. I would not hesitate to give them a call, as it's also beneficial for them to hear from you. If it's not reported, they won't be aware of it. Many things like this do not show up in the very extensive testing that Lenovo does before releasing a new model. Therefore we are helping them by reporting these issues. Please let us know the outcome of your call....

  • Deleting Songs From iTunes Library...and Keeping Them On Your iPod

    Will this process allow me to delete songs from my iTunes library, but keep them on my iPod?
    1. When iPod is plugged in, check "Only Sync Checked Items" in iTunes
    2. Delete items from iTunes library.
    3. Add new items to iTunes library.
    4. Sync iPod.
    It should keep the songs I deleted from iTunes on my iPod, right?
    If you need me to be any clearer, please ask.
    EDIT: If this will not work, is there another way to do this? The songs I have are taking up a lot of room on my computer.

    Any auto sync method you use will delete the songs from the iPod if you delete them from iTunes.
    You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
    However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.

  • After itunes 6.0.2 and 1-10 updater - both ipods crash itunes when updating

    I'm annoyed.
    I upgraded my to iTunes 6.0.2 (Windows XP) and ran the 1-10 updater on two ipods - a mini and a 20GB pre-photo model (I guess that's a 3rd gen?). After doing so, iTunes crashes when updating begins. If I plug an ipod in without iTunes, everything is OK and I can see the unit and directory structure in Explorer. When the ipod is disconnected and I run iTunes, everything is fine - no problems. But when you connect an ipod, iTunes sees it, and then shows "Updating ipod", it sits like that for awhile, then I hear the hard drive in the iPod click, and a few seconds later I get:
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" etc. etc.
    I tried doing a restore of one of my ipods (the 3rd gen) to the 2005-11-17 firmware by running that updater and doing "Restore". The problem is still happening, but now my ipod is empty because I did the restore!
    Unfortunately, I can't tell what the problem is - iTunes or the 1-10 update.
    Has anyone else had any problems like this? Any ideas? Can I downgrade iTunes?
    Please help!
    Chris

    Has anyone come up with a method to resolve this issue? I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and no luck.
    One very obvious thing I can see is that 2006-1-10 update clearly bombs iTunes fast. I downgrade my firmware to 2005-11-17 and it appears to want to update. I'm attempting to update again (about the 30th time since I've had this problem a few days ago). Let's see how it goes since I've actually done this before... One thing I'm doing differently though is syncing just the podcasts, no music. It shouldn't make a difference, but maybe there's something odd in there with DRM?
    Another observation - when I connected the iPod with the My Computer window open, I saw the H: drive (my ipod) appear for a few seconds. It then disappeared from there, iTunes came up, and then reappeared. iTunes tried to sync, but then bombed out.
    I hope this helps someone..
    I can't believe that Apple hasn't responded to this issue yet. This has to be impacting more than a few hundred users on this site.

  • I had an iPod nano and then got a classic iPod, which then broke. So I wanted to start using my iPod nano again. I still have the same iTunes account, but when I try to sync this iPod with my iTunes nothing happens.

    The music that was on this nano when I stopped using it a few years ago is still on it, and I want to replace it with other songs that I've added to my iTunes since then.

    iPods (except for iPod touch) are not linked to any iTunes "account."  They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, and that is used to buy and download content from the iTunes Store.  It is not required to use an iPod.
    The 1st (and 2nd) gen shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library at a time.  When you connect it, iTunes should prompt you to start using it with your iTunes library, and warn that the shuffle's existing content will be erased.  Have iTunes erase the shuffle, and it will be associated with your iTunes library going forward.  You can then add content to your shuffle.
    The need for the previous owner's Apple ID and password should only come up if you are trying to transfer existing content from the shuffle to your iTunes library, AND the previous owner had content purchased from the iTunes Store.  Just cancel out of that step, if iTunes asks.

  • I recently purchased Windows 8 laptop and installed Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to the new PC, I got iTunes to import it and sync it to my iPod (3rd gen).  However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Contacts

    I recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and istalled Office 2013.  I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to my new PC I got iTunes to import it, and then synced it to my iPod (3rd gen.) However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Calendar or Contacts with my iPod.  When I try it crashes Outlook.  iTunes continues to try to sync, but when it finishes my Calendar and Contents are empty (ERASED!).  I have de-installed and re-installed iTunes (according to Apple's instructions), repaired Office 2013 and Outlook, scanned for viruses (etc), cleaned out temp folders, defragmented, etc., etc., etc. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know houw to fix it?  (HELP!)

    Well, I guess I have to download some other software to make my apple product work. Really great stuff you guys sell. I will never buy another apple product. My Iphone, Ipod and Itunes are junk

  • My 160 gig classic freezes itunes

    My one year old ipod classic has recently sufferd from sort of odd error! Two days ago I connected my ipod to a friends mac to let it charge when i came back my ipod had been wiped of all music and videos! while that bummed me out at first the problems got worse once i got home. Now when i connect my Ipod to my Computer (windows 7) it asks weather or not i want to reformat the device, and my itunes simply freezes when it tries to connect to the Ipod. Is it possible connecting it to the other computer somehow screwed the software? also i cant do a restore since it just freezes my itunes.... any suggestions?

    Hey Glitch_Dancer503,
    MY suggestion would be to put the iPod Classic into disk mode. After that the restore option should not be as difficult.
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    iPod devices with a Click Wheel
    If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    6. Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • New 160 Gig Classic Question

    Can you use this devise as storage? It appears that you can create a folder and drop information (doc. files). Thoughts.
