Will lightning connector sync ipod classic to new macbook air

I am using 30 pin usb 1 connector with 5th grn ipod classic to sync with new macbook air, but computer rejects ipod connection with explanation usb 1 does not sufficient power to sync wih macbook. thanks in advance

Thanks. You are right, I was following the wrong trail. The problem was not with the connector but with the disorganized state of my music files, with duplicate and overlapping files of the same name, etc., following a move of the files to an external hard drive, and  the the acquisition of a new MacBook Air. No wonder the iPod didn't know what to connect to. But both answers clarified my thinking. It won't be a quick fix, but hopefully it will be a success one.

  • Syncing ipod classic to new Macbook

    I just got a new Macbook Pro and I'm trying to sync my iPod classic into iTunes. When I connect my ipod to the USB it does not show up in iTunes. It just shows up on my desktop. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get my ipod on iTunes? Thanks!

    My motherboard went out on my laptop where my itunes account was based. If I purchase a new laptop, will my IPOD Classic sync with the new laptop or will I lose all my music and data? Desperate working on dissertation...interview is on IPOD.

  • Iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says to update software but there arent any available.. please help

    iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air,  it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help

    Sorry for the second post..
    I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
    To do that;
    1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
    2. Select Show Package Content.
    3. Click on the Originals Folder
    4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
    Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.

  • Sync ipod classic with new pc computer

    Hello to all.  I am new to this forum and so please excuse me if I am asking a question, which I am sure I am, that has already been answered.  I have an Ipod classic that has quite a lot of music on it.  My old computer that I was syncing to has crashed and I had to buy a new computer.  I am able to download the new Itunes, and get my music that I have purchased, but want my old ipod to sync with the new computer, which is a PC (Dell).  What to do?  Thanks.

    all I can say is good luck. I bought a new iPod classic and then a couple weeks later did what you did : I bought a Mac. Would I have known the issues I'd never have done it. I cannot get new purchases from iTunes to move to my iPod. I was able to get some,not all, of my files to move to the Mac, but I'm greatly disappointed that I don't have ALL of my items, purchased from iTunes or not. It makes me wonder why I shelled out almost 3 grand for the iPod and the Mac , with the reasonable expectation that the transition would be seamless and even intuitive. Nope. So, I have two iPods and none of them will acquire new iTunes purchases. Good luck! Let me know if you have more success than I have!

  • Sync ipod classic with new imac

    My ipod classic itunes library is on my old toshiba laptop, I bought a new mac but when I try to sync from ipod to imac it wipes the music off the ipod - how do i sync without losing music? I have been told I have to create an icloud account on the old toshiba, but do i have to pay for this? there is a lot of music on the ipod.

    Hello JulliJM,
    It sounds like your iPod Classis has been syncing to your old portable, and you want to sync it to your new iMac but dont want to lose the information in it. The iPod can only sync to 1 library at a time unless set up to manually sync content. The following article will help you do that named:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
    If you are going to sync from the iMac from now on, you can also copy your entire iTunes library to your iMac with this article:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Then when you sync it to your iPod again, yes it will prompt you that it will erase the stuff on it, but you can set up the sync options just like you have on your portable computer, to get your stuff back.

  • Sync ipod classic with new HD

    I replaced HD on MBP and upgraded to itunes 11.  I have two ipod classics and an iphone 4s.  When i connect ipods they get recognized show in sidebar and do a real quick sync, but don't add any of the music i just put in itunes yesterday (that's how I know they aren't syncing).  I moved my old library form HD into new MBP and that works fine.  I also can't manually drag files into ipods in sidebar.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    did restore on both classics and it worked...

  • How do I sync ipod classic to new windows 8 computer?

    I want to sync my ipod classic to a new laptop, operating on Windows 8. My existing itunes account is on my old, very slow desktop computer. On there, is my current music library.
    1) Please could someone tell me, how to sync my ipod to my new computer, in simple terms if at all possible!
    2) If I manage this, can I copy my itunes music library to my new computer?
    Thank you in anticipation!

    You need to copy your entire iTunes folder to the new computer from the old one. Otherwise you could lose some of your content.

  • Syncing Ipod Touch to new MacBook Pro

    I have just purchased this MacBook and am trying to sync my Ipod Touch. The Itunes software did not see the Ipod, so following online instructions, I reset my iPod to New status. The Itunes program still does not "see" the ipod. The ipod meanwhile is asking to connect to Itunes in order to sync. When changing computers I "migrated' the HD data from my previous computer. What can I do ??

    Make sure Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and try to connect in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Did you use Time Machine to back up your Mac or do you still have access to your last backup? If yes, copy the iTunes ipod backup folder to your new Macbook and restore your ipod from that backup.
    See more about backups and the location of the backup folder here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • Is it possible to sync hotmail between ipad, iphone and macbook air. My iphone and ipad are synced OK but cannot sync up with my (new) macbook air - neither maill nor contacts.

    I have had ipad and iphone for a while and my mail, contacts and calendar are all synced up so that when I add or delete an item on one device it mirrors that on the other. Have recently purchased a macbook air but cannot get my hotmail to sync up - so I have to manage that separately from the ipad. Help!

  • Can't sync ipod classic to new library

    Hi, I have two ipods, an older 30gb and a newer 160gb. I only had one library, which I have synced my 160gb ipod to. I created another library because the original is too big for the 30gb ipod. When I go into this new library it, for some unknown reason, has about 3gb of my music in it. Anyway, if I try to sync the 30gb ipod with it nothing happens. The ipod is recognised, it seems like it is syncing for a few seconds then it tells me it is synced. However, there is nothing on it. The 30gb ipod is empty having restored it. It tells me the ipod software is up to date. Any ideas?

    You can try another usb port, 30-pin cord, or restart computer. you can also sync seleted music using your other library.

  • I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro

    I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

  • HT1345 i have a new macbook air, can i now sync my iPod classic with iTunes on my new computer instead of the Dell I was synching with before?

    Hi  I have just aquired a new MacBook Air and I want to stop using my old Dell laptop as my itunes synch with my ipod.  Can I now sync the Ipod with the itunes account on my new Macbook?  I am worried it will take hours to synch if I choose the erase and synch option?

    Is all the content from your iTunes library on the old Dell laptop now on your MacBook air?  If you copied the entire iTunes folder and copied it over the existing iTunes folder, your iPod will still think it is being synced to the same iTunes library and there would be no need to do an erase and sync.

  • Will I lose my Calendar and Addresses if I sync my iPod with a new macbook?

    I just had to get a new hard disk and want to put my Cal and Addresses back on it. I can find lots of information about transferring my photos and music, but will I lose my Calendar and Addresses if I sync my iPod with a new macbook?

    Before you sync, make at least one entry in your computer's Address Book and one iCal event (a fake entry will do). That will generate a "merge" prompt. Otherwise, the empty address book and calendar will overwrite what you have on your iPod.
