2 IPODS 1 IMAC G5

I just purchased the G5 with a 30 gig IPOD and a 2gig Nano and was wondering how to get music on the Nano? It won't automatically update because of the size but I can't select and drag songs either. Help! By the way i'm a noob so I just hooked them up tonight.

Start up iTunes and create a Playlist (File > New Playlist). Then drag some songs from your library into the new playlist. You can toggle between looking at the main library (all your songs) and a playlist by clicking in the playlist and library names in the left column of iTunes.
When you select a playlist you can see how large (in GB and number of songs) at the bottom of the window. You can put about 1.7GB of music in your Nano's playlist(s).
Once you've finished, connect the iPod and after clicking away the dialog telling you the iPod doesn't have enough space for all the songs, select the Nano (in the left column), go to Preferences, select the iPod tab and click on "Update selected Playlists". Be sure to click on the name of your playlist in the window.

Hello chlanli
You would need to use one Apple ID for purchases in order to get them across all of your devices and computer. If you want you can use one Apple ID for purchases and the other one to sync personal data. The article below will explain further.

Iphone,ipod,imac Shopping list

I was wondering is there and application that I can use on my imac as a shopping list that I can then sync to my ipod touch or iphone without wifi or phone service to get the list

No idea... you should probably ask in one of the iPod touch or iPhone forums, as iSync has nothing to do with what you're asking about.

Sync itunes with ipod, imac and macbook air with iCloud

First post this for me in this community so hope format and protocols are okay....however, just installed Lion on my MacbookAir and hooked up to iCloud, then installed iOS 5 on my ipod 3rd gen via my imac (currently running Snow Leopard).
So far so good, re installation of itunes on my ipod was almost seamless and pretty painless, also hooked up to iCloud. Then purchased a couple of Apps on the iPod and noticed an almost immediate upload of the same on my iTunes store running on my iMac - Not yet installed with Lion and therefore not (as far as I was aware) hooked up to iCloud.....is this not a bit odd ??
Even odder perhaps is that the same apps have not shown up on my iTunes running on the Macbook Air.....perhaps explained by the following ??
A further problem is that having recently copied purchased CD content to my iTunes on my iMac, and then synced this to my iPod, once I connected my iPod to my Macbook Air I was told the iPod was synced to another iTunes library (presumably that on my iMac) and so was not able to complete a sync unless I erased the iPod library. Does this mean that I actually have two active iTunes accounts sotospeak, one on my MBA, one shared between my iMac and my iPod ? If so, how do I convert this to one running on all three and if that is possible, presumably the issues of syncing between all, and of downloading apps from iCloud will be resolved ?
Any clues or advice on how to sort this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Guess also worth noting that all three devices are authorised but I'm wary of re-authorising upon erasing itunes libraries (unless of course the limit of 5 authorisations is not meant to limit the number of times this is done - but simply the number of authorised devices active at any one time).

By subscribing. There're a lot of factors involved during a download: Network speed, computer used, iTunes availability etc.

Massive G3 iPod / iMac problem.

Hello,
I'm really at my wits end here. I'm about to throw my G3 iPod (the one with the black and white screan and four buttons along the top) into the bin.
I'm trying hard not to swear.
I got the iPod as a present a few years ago and it's NEVER EVER worked properly.
Half the time the iPod doesn't appear on the desktop or in iTunes although System Profiler can see it. It then stopped working all together until I was told (on this forum) to whack it on the side, which made it come back to life.
So now my problem is this:
Every time I plug the iPod into my G4 iMac via the Firewire port (either one, I have two) it either ignores the iPod enitrely or locks up the computer foring me to restart, unplug the iPod, put up with numerous warnings about how I've unsafel removed the device and then it won't work all over again.
I've just had to restart for the third time this evening. I did get iTunes to recognise the ipod ONCE but pressing Play caused the whole system to lock up.
Also the iPod did mount onto the desktop as an unkonw volume called iPod.
Really, if I'd have wanted a useless mp3 player I would have asked for a Zune.
Could anyone please, please tell me how I'm meant to sort this out because even when this was in warranty Apple were **** at helping me out.
All help is welcomed.
On my current experience i would never EVER recommend anyone buy an iPod ever.
Apple stuff is a dream when it works, but when it doesn't it the most infuriating thing in the entire world!

First, I agree to check your iPod cable. Then have a read the following, you may find a solution e.g. fix it with a PC or erase your iPod under the disk utility, very likely there are some bad sectors cause the problem
Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2364921&#2364921
Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html
2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

I got a new modem and imac says connected with the airport, but cant get a web page to come up on either safari or firefox

I started having internet problems with all my devices in the house, ipod, imac, pc laptop, tablets, etc... found out after being on the phone with comcast for hours, they determined my modem that they supply was bad. So I have the new modem now and very simple to install it and get everything working. However, I cannot get online with a web browser of any sort on my imac. which had no issues before.
All my devices in the house work perfectly now with the new modem and my speeds are great, and even the imac (with the airporter) states it is connected. but I cant do anything pertaining to the internet. I have spent hours on the tech line with comcast and they cant seem to find the issue and said it is with my Imac, even though it was working fine before.
Does anyone have any ideas, is there simply something I'm missing, please help. As I stated before, everything else that we own works great and has great connection. and the Imac states it is connected, but mail, internet, non of that works...??????

My househoulse is full of Apple products. We have Ipad, Ipod, and Iphone, but they are all registered under same email. Therefore, we can not facetime with each other. Does anyone know how I could change this?

How do I facetime with the same email address on the Apple product?

The iphone identification should be its phone number, for other devices, such as ipad, ipod, imac you must generate a new e-mail address for each. You can do this by using Yahoo mail, google mail, or perhaps the e-mail system that your internet service provider offers. The point is, each unit needs its own id.

How to sync iPhone, iPad,ipod

I am trying to sync my ipad,iphone,ipod & imac with the same user account (apple id) but the ipad refuses to play, any suggestions please?

As 90MacUser22 explained:
"When you plug in your iPad (to your iMac), go through each tab slowly. Under apps, hit sync apps(check), and select what apps you want to sync. Do this for the rest of the tabs. If its not checked it won't sync. Then when your done hit sync. On your iPhone and iPod go into settings, store, and make sure automatic downloads are on. When you download an app, it will also download on the other device."

Currently it is not recognized under System Preferences as it is commicating with my iMacvia airport express.
Any way to get this listed under "Choose a device..."
Thanks

Hello
I do not want to hard wire the Ipod HIFI. I understand that if I used the line out feature the system would recognize the device. I would like the system to recognize a remote speaker connected by wireless network and to accept this remote speaker as the default audio device. Not likely but should be an option.

Hi...I'm also a former PC user and now own a Mac. Unfortunately I no longer have access to the PC but I do have my iPod music backed up on a flash drive. How do I get the music from the flash drive back into the iTunes library? (or do I need to back up on blank discs only?) I want to get my iPod reformatted to Mac so that I can continue to load new music but I'd rather have the existing music transferred before I do that.
Also, I've authorized the new Mac for 'transferring purchases' but when I try to transfer, it continues to tell me my computer isn't authorized...yet it is. Please help if you can. Thanks.

3G Clickwheel Ipod won't mount after update to ITunes 7.0

I recently updated to iTunes 7 and ever since my iPod won't mount. I can't see it on my desktop, and iTunes says the iPod is corrupt. I checked to make sure the Firewire port is working, and as far as I can tell, it is. I have tried to connect the iPod using both USB and Firewire, with the same result. I have also tried another Firewire cord, and that didn't work either.
I don't think the iPod is corrupt, because it was exactly after I updated to 7.0.1 that it stopped mounting. I thought 7.0.2 would resolve this issue, but it has not. The iPod works as it should when not connected to my computer.
I do NOT want to reload the iPod to factory settings, because over 1900 songs would be lost (my hard drive crashed last year, and this is the only place I have of many of these songs). This seems to be a known problem with the new version, but I don't know how to resolve it. Any suggestions?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have the identical problem with my Ipod & Imac.

I'm using Itunes 7.02 and judging from some other newsgroups I have read, there are many Ipod owners with this problem. I hope Apple gets it fixed soon.

New mac user..possible imac problem,help please!

I've had my imac for about 3 weeks and in the last 4-5 days after waking up from sleep mode it has been lagging severly. At first it was for about 15 mins now its been going on for over 45. First of all, applications and anything I click on in them takes a very long time to open and sometimes several clicks. The rainbow ball curser seems to come up for much longer than usual. Then when I type, nothing shows and I have to click on the window to get what i typed to come up. I have plenty of room on my harddrive and 1 GB RAM that was factory installed. Being a new mac user, I really don't know what to do about it. Anyone know whats wrong or what to do?
Thanks in advance.

Best way to normalise MP3s, for use in iTunes, iPod, Window PCs & mobiles

Ok, nearly got all my music/MP3s in order with Album art, lyrics, spelling etc etc in order.
My last task for the ultimate library is to normalise them, ie make them all the same volume level so as not to keep adjusting the volume level when listening on iPods, iMacs, mobiles etc.
I have heard of the sound check in iTunes and iPod, but this wont work if I put some of the MP3s onto my Mobile, or for my other computer a Windows XP machine.
I have also heard of MacMP3Gain for Mac, MP3Gain for Windows. Do these work? they seem to be an old program.
What does everyone else do? as I say its annoying prob, I want all my music at the same volume level so you can press play on shuffle and not have to keep adjusting
please help
cheers

The help file for MP3 Trimmer under Basic Operation states...
MP3 Trimmer help file states:
To the left of the audio fade controls you'll find a checkbox to enable gain adjustments. If this button is disabled ('grayed out') Gain Adjust is not possible*. By clicking this button you enable the buttons to control the amount of Gain Adjust. Adjustments are set in relative percentage values.
The Gain Adjust operation actually adjust the output gain of each frame, whichh is nothing like the 'adjust gain for this song' parameters in many audio playback devices/applications (they may only work for that specific device/application). The gain adjust performed by MP3 Trimmer is written to each and every frame of the song, which will allow it to work on all playback devices (hardware / software). It may seem pretty permanent, but you can always change the gain in opposite direction with no quality-loss (we're dealing with it binary here).
A word of advice: It's easy to distort the audio if too much gain is applied. Use the audition feature to listen to the effect. In other words - use your ears....

Patrick
