160 GB iPod Filling up - Now  what?

I had the bright idea to load my CD collection on iPods to get rid of the bulk - but with only the discs for Adams -  Bach, I have more than 10.000 "songs" (each track counts as one) and the iPod will surely be full long before I complete through Mozart, much less start on Opera, Country & Western, Christmas or Pop.
I wouldn't mind having another iPod or two for the lyrical and non-classical music, but I can't figure out how to split the "library" item "Music" into two or three folders, each with its own iPod, e.g., "Classical" - "Opera" - "Modern" . . .
Anyone found a way to do this?

With an iPod connected, click the iPod name and then the Music tab, and you will see that "Sync Music" has an option for "Selected playlists..." 
After you have sorted the music you want into playlists, this option lets you put it onto that iPod.
If you have multiple iPods, each is managed independently by the same method.

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

    Some text do look like they were final texts, that cannot be filled, but they are also place holders, for example the "Season's Greetings".Have you really clicked on each and every text, to see if they need filling in?

  • Dropped IPOD in water now what?

    Accidently dropped ipod in water now what do i need to do?

    Place the iPod in a sealed container of uncooked rice for a week and change the rice daily. The see if it works. If not Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

    Do not use or charge until dry.

  • Unhappy Ipod screen. Now What????

    What does this picture on my iPod mean?

  • IPod Mini crashed - now what do or can I do?

    Seems like my iPod Mini has crashed. 
    It seems like it tries to boot up but I just hear what seems like the disk spining, stoping, spining, stopping, like a stuck record.  Not sure if something is fried or not.  I was charging before this happened and it seemed to get pretty hot.
    Looks like the product is obsolete and it is not possible to get it fixed.   Not sure if putting in a new drive and battery would fix it.
    It was a great product.  What should I do with it?  What does the community recommend?
    Throw it away?   How do I properly dispose of it?

    There are still several 3rd party repair centers out there who can repair the device for you.  Or if you are up for the challenge, you can still purchase replacement parts for pretty cheap from several sites including Amazon and eBay. 
    As for recycling, there are also several options.  One of them is Apple.

    Personally, I would go for the repair option, because it's always fun reviving an older piece of hardware.   But sometimes it best to just let something go and properly dispose of it.

  • So I upgraded my iPod...now what?

    Hi. I just upgraded from 1st gen iPod mini to 5th gen 30gb video. Here's the scenario:
    --Library on home computer synched successfully on the new iPod.

    How do I get music that I purchased on my work computer onto my new iPod?
    Thanks.

    To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
    Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
    Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons

  • 160 GB iPod classic crashed when trying to view a video, and now just keeps rebooting. What can I do?

    This is the third iPod classic this has happened to, so it's not a fluke.
    I upoaded a video podcast from iTunes. The video name, etc. displayed properly in the iPod, but when I tried to open it, the iPod crashed and now just continuously reboots. My iMac does not recognize the iPod anymore.
    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried this?

  • I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

    I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Restart the Computer. This sometimes happens to me when I keep my Windows 7 on Sleep, and I try to sync my Ipod
    Make sure you have the latest version of Itunes
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

  • How can I display the ipod on my interactive board? I purchased the cable I was told to buy, but now what?

    I want to be able to connect an iPod to an interactive whiteboard.  I was told by a presentor to buy a special cable, which I did, but now what?  Do I need a certain app?  I want to use the board to display apps to teachers to show them how to use them.  Help.

    Unless I've missed something, your iPod touch does not support mirroring the screen to an external display, so unless the apps you want to teach output to video, showing the app's interface, not just content, you will not be able to use your whiteboard to demo those apps. You'll probably need something like a document camera so you can show the iPod's screen on an external display.
    Regards.

  • I selected restore factory settings on my ipod touch but now after restart it stuck on apple icon what will i do anybody help me out plz,even it's not appering on itunes on my p.c

    i selected restore factory settings on my ipod touch but now after restart it stuck on apple icon what will i do anybody help me out plz,even it's not appering on itunes on my p.c

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

    I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

    If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
    Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
    Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!
