2 Ipods 1 Macbook Itunes account and 1 windows itunes account (same user)

Ok... I purchased a new Ipod nano for traveling and have it synced to my work laptop. I have a 5th generation Ipod 30g for home and it is synced to the macbook. Both have music downloaded from one account (mine) and I would like to join the 500 some odd songs on each ipod so I have all 1000 songs and I can stop purchasing duplicate songs for each ipod. Is this possible? I have found that the Itunes help engine can be very difficult to navigate if you are new to mac. Also.. I have no clue on how to find out what OS I have on the macbook... thanks

Just connect the iPod to the computer and use the transfer purchases option.
It will transfer purchases from both iPods to iTunes.

  • My iPod will charge in the computer but not my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same sofware and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    My Ipod will charge in the computer but noy my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same software and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    Look the dock connector on your iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corred contacts, foreign material and cracked/broken plastic.
    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears..
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod

  • Can't get audio content off iPod onto MacBook iTunes

    Just did some recording with the iPod using an attached microphone. When I open iTunes, I can see the directory with the audio recordings (in Voice Memos directory on the iPod) and even listen to them, but I can't get them to transfer to my music libary on my Macbook iTunes. I need those recordings to insert into iMovie. Try dragging then to iMovie and that didn't work either.

    Shooting in the dark here, but a program like Senuti may help.
    Or there is a manual method of moving content from iPod to computer described here.

  • Is it possible to override the SecurityFilter class so that I can use it for my external app which is deployed in ToolsAndFramework and needs to validate for same user/password as is being used to log in experience manager?

    I have created a java app and deployed in ToolsAndFramework of endeca and since that app can be accessed through a directl url so want to implement an security filter which will use the same user validation as is used in experience manager.

    Sorry to hear that, but this forum is for us, users, and what you need is someone from Xperia Care to find your motherboard and send it back, I don't think it'll be possible to retrieve any data from a broken motherboard.

  • Ipod Touch works with APPLE and not WINDOWS

    I have a first generation touch. Yesterday the PC crashed while syncing with the iTouch. After that it would not see the iPod any longer. However the APPLE I have sees it just fine. I have gone through the detailed uninstall and re install itunes process several times and tried cleaning the registry - still nothing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 .
    The PC based iTunes syncs with another 2G and a nano and a shuffle just fine. Windows also sees the 1G Touch..... ideas other than moving my library to my laptop? I have also reset the 1G and upgraded the software now to the latest firmware. It still works with the APPLE but not with the PC. I am sure this is a driver issue but I cannot get it fixed.

    Well I happened on the answer after doing a lot of searches. Why doesn't apple post the fix on their site. This problem is due to their installation package for Vista and the fix does not require all the uninstalls and re installs you have been asked to do so many times....
    THANK YOU BeeBopp

    Re: Ipod touch is recognized as a camera
    Posted: Feb 16, 2009 7:43 AM in response to: Twin195 Reply Email
    This solution is very similar to one above but worked for me. Am using iPod Touch 2nd Gen with 32 bit version of Windows Vista where the iTouch is being seen by Windows but does not show in iTunes. In my case it was being identified by Windows as a camera. I tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and all the other Apple apps with no luck. Was almost ready to throw in the towel when I did one last search for alternate solutions and found the following instructions to reinstall the drivers, but instead of having the system look to the c:\Windows\inf or c:\windows\system 32 folders for the drivers, the path is changed to C:\program files\common files\Apple\Apple Mobile Support\Drivers, which is apparently where Vista installs the drivers. Once I changed the path the driver properly reflected the iTouch as a USB device, and not a digital camera. Try this if you are having similiar issues.
    Here are the steps:
    1. Verify you have the following files usbaapl.cat, usbaapl.inf & usbaapl.sys in the following directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"
    2. Log in using an ADMINISTRATIVE account
    3. Single left click on START
    4. Single left click on RUN (You may need to change the start menu to 'classic view' to see RUN, you can change back after if you like)
    5. Type in " devmgmt.msc " then hit Enter (Don't type in the quotes)
    6. Look for Imaging in the Device Manager window, and click on plus sign (In Vista you may not see the "Imaging" option. Look under "Portable Devices" as an alternative)
    7. Now you should see " Apple iPod " as a device underneath Imaging (or Portable Devices)
    8. Right click on " Apple iPod " then single left click on Properties
    9. Single left click on the " Driver " tab
    10. Single left click on " Update driver "
    11. Select " Install from a list or specific location " or "Browse my computer" whichever shows on your version of Vista
    12. Single left click on " Include this location in the search " if shown
    13. Paste " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers " (Don't type in the quotes) into the box " Include this location in the search "
    14. Single left click NEXT and keep clicking through until " Apple iPod USB Driver " is detected, if no list appears then you should see the little animated circle thingie spinning. It's looking and working. Be patient.
    15. Hopefully you will get a successful message.
    16. The correct drivers(s) are now installed.
    17. Start up iTunes, and see if you iPod is detected again.
    Hope this works for you as it did for me and several others.

  • My iPod Touch won't charge and my Windows 7 laptop isn't recognizing it.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 2006 and installed Windows 7 on it with BootCamp no problem, but the thing is on Windows, there is no sound.

    Hello there everybody! I have installed Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2006 15' without any problems, and without any modification. I did hear that some users couldn't install it, but I have got it working fine with BootCamp 4.0.1 on Lion. So anyways, when I boot into Windows, there is no soudn, and there is also a Red Light coming from the Earphone/Headphone jack.
    What should I do? This problem is really ticking me off because I only insalled Windows to lay some games my friend recommended to me. With no sound, it would be really strange playing them, especially Mass Effect.

    Well I / we always kind of assume that someone did all the normal basics first and is still having trouble. And read the instructions in Boot Camp Assistant.

  • Macbook Pro: Play and record sound at the same time

    Greetings everyone,
    My brother and I have are going to switch go a mac, preferebly to a macbook pro. we used windows so far, but the frustration has grown extremely huge, so it's time to throw off this junk.
    We've been working with sound a lot and many times we recorded any sound which played through the computer: that means sound and music from dvds and games or other sources, we couldn't get anywhere else. What we did is simply letting the game or dvd play and record the audio at the same time.
    I've testet this functionality in windows via bootcamp on a macbook of friend of mine, but NOT the macbook pro version. It's wasn't really that good as I thought. Sound quality was below what I'd expect.
    So here are my questions:
    - Does the macbook pro have a better sound card, which enables simultaneos play + record?
    - Is good record quality bound to a software I need to use?
    Thanks for your replies.

    Apple don't have separate "sound cards" like PC's , Martin. The necessary hardware is proprietary , and built into the logic boards.
    Both of them have high quality combined optical digital input and audio line in, and combined optical digital output and audio line out. You can also attach various USB or firewire audio input and output devices if you wish. So as far as 'quality" goes, it depends what you are playing them through more than anything else. The inherent audio abilities of both are pretty danged good when using Mac specific software. That is why the music industry love 'em!
    Or are you just talking about sound quality through the built in speakers, which are, of course severely limited by the amount of space available, though I've heard far worse from many PC notebooks!?
    Cheers
    Rod

  • Can I have both Nano and Shuffle on one computer/same user account?

    I have a Nano that I use daily and also just purchased a Shuffle to take to the gym (I'm a bit paranoid about the Nano getting broken, lost or stolen). I'd like to have some of the same music on both devices. Can I do that? (I've yet to plug in my Shuffle in case one overrides the other.)

    Hi MNRobin,
    Yes you can! I suggest reading Knowledge Base Document #200432. If you want, you can select which songs go on which iPod by Manually adding songs, playlists, podcasts and audiobooks.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon

  • Is anyone else having frequent crashing with iphoto 11 while editing photos?   We have 2 imacs (2007) and 1 Macbook pro (2010) and all three exhibit the same spinning rainbow wheel and crash after 3-7 edits.

    all macs are running 10.6.7
    all have 4gb ram
    I saw some posts about the early intel nvidia issues, but the fix mentioned was 10.6.7 which we already have.
    same library worked perfectly before iphoto 11.

  • Sync ipod to macbook

    Have new Macbook, want to sync music from iPod to Macbook iTunes library. When I try this the music is grayed out and can't figure out how to sync from iPod to Macbook iTunes music library. Please help.

    Connect the iPod to your Mac then launch iTunes.
    From the iTunes menu bar click File > Devices > Sync
    For syncing non iTunes purchases you may need a third party utility.

  • Messages: One MacBook, One User Account, Two Users?? Help!

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on my MBA from mid 2011 - so far so good!
    In our home, my wife and I have one Mac that we both use. Since we use it most of the time to browse on the Internet, listen to music, looking at pictures e.g. we only have on user account, that we both share/use.
    In "Messages" in Mountain Lion, it seems like it is only possible to merge one Apple ID with Messages....Which means, that every time my wife wants to use this feature, she has to sign me out and log in with her own Apple-ID.
    Alternatively, to create her own user account, but all of this doesn't seem very dynamic and user friendly. I also doubt, that we are the only ones having this setup, on our Mac?!
    The concept works just fine with an iPhone, as this device is normally only used by one person. But a MacBook or iMac, might be in many cases, THE computer in the household with multiple users, each with there Apple-ID.
    My question is, what is the best way to share "Messages" between multiple users with different Apple-ID's, without having to create separate user accounts in Mountain Lion?
    Thanks and brgds.
    Per.

    Thanks for your fast reply!
    I didn't know you could switch between users like that and will definitely give this a try, if it is not possible to do it in a different way...
    It would be perfect, if it was possible to add my wife's Apple-ID to a new account, with in the settings menu in Messages on the Mac.
    So, when either she or I would get an iMessage, we would be notified in the notification center in Mountain Lion, and still be using the same user account.
    My hope is to be able to only have one user account on our Mac and both of us sharing all the cool new features in Mountain Lion, with each of our Apple-ID's.
    But, if that is not possible, you solution seems like a great compromise
    Thanks again!

  • 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure and 11gR2 RAC install as separate users (RH 5)

    We are about to set up a few new RH 5 clusters and are trying to make a decision if we should install 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure and 11gR2 RAC as the same user (oracle) or as separate users (grid and oracle) as per Oracle documentation.
    I would like to know what other people are doing and their experiences with this.
    Here are some concerns that we have:
    1) Does Oracle support has an 11gR2 cluster environment where grid infrastructure and oracle database are installed as separate users ? I have been to a few Oracle 11gR2 demos and they always have a simple install where everything is installed as a single user.
    2) Potential permission issues that we might hit iif we use separate users, for example
    - grid control agent - which user do we install it as and will it be able to access both grid and oracle files ?
    - database listener will run as grid user. Is this going to cause any permission issues ?
    Thanks in advance for your answers

    It is all dependent on your business whether your business needs to separate between privileged user for storage administrator (ASM) or database level. It is recommended to have user separation but not mandatory.
    see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17212/toc.htm for the details
    permission issues might happen if the configuration is not correct. for example you might see ORA-12537 when configuring the system
    Hope this helps
