Accessing stored videos and songs

I have my ipod set up to work as a hard drive. I would like to be able to access my video files that I have installed through itunes so I do not need to store duplicates when transferring them between computers. I found :\ipod_control\music, (hidden files in windows), but the files are organized into strange folders with strange names. They are playable and easily transferable from that folder, but it doesn't distinguish between music and video. If I start organizing things will it cause problems with my ipod and is there a way for the ipod to organize it for me. Thanks.

You cannot "organize" the folders on the iPod. As soon as you move a file or rename a folder, it will get "lost."
I think (purely speculation) Apple does this to make it harder to steal music (it's a real pain to steal an individual album off someone's iPod by just exploring it).

  • How do I share pictures, videos, and songs between 2 iPhones on 1 iMac?

    How do I share pictures, videos, and songs between 2 iPhones on 1 iMac? My wife and I shoot pictures and video at the same event and want to share them in 1 iPhoto event. We have music that we want to share and load onto our respective iPhones. And we DON'T want to muddle our contacts, apps, or other goodies.
    I tried to set up a shared folder for the pictures, and set us a login for each of us. I must have missed a step or two because it didn't work.
    Please spell it out. Please provide the steps and check marks, or a link to an Apple Support doc that makes it easy.
    Thanks,

    I have just upgraded to 10.8 on my macbook pro and now I can't access itunes, videos and there is no sound - anyone help?
    It is an old macbook pro probably 6yo with the back lit keys - not under applecare anymore obviously. I downloaded the upgrade last night which took quite a while longer than it should have.
    Anyone else experienced this and can suggest something? many thanks Jo

    Run Software Update, wait till all the updates have finished downloading then restart the mac.

  • Music Video and song Issue

    Hey I was wondering If there is an Option That I am missing or a bug but for my iPhone i have one playlist that has some songs and music videos combined in it. On my iPhone when i click on songs all of the music videos and songs come up but when play a music video i don't get the video and i just get the Sound. but in the video section i just get the Music Videos. is there a way to get rid of the music videos in the songs section.
    Thanks.

    You would need to remove the music videos from the playlist in itunes and re-sync the iphone.
    If that does not help, there is a checkbox, called include music videos, on the music tab in itunes, when the iphone is connected, that you can uncheck.

  • To share my videos and songs on WhatsApp

    I unable to share my videos and song on WhatsApp from nokia lumia 520

    Hi. How are you trying to share the media files? Is this using the app itself or are you going to Videos or Music (Music+Videos in WP8) and share from there?
    Refer to this link for the information: http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/wp/23711096.
    BTW, are you getting any error message? Does this happen regardless of the connection you're using?
    We'll wait for your response.

  • Converting and storing videos and slideshows to/in MAC

    i am trying to figure out where to store my videos and slideshows (i use Aperture) but before i get there i am noticing that i am getting an error on some of my file types and also that i have a lot of different file types.
    does anyone know how to fix this error or why it is coming up?
    does anyone know a convenient way to convert these various file types so they are Mac friendly and if so what software and command to use?
    i have EPS, PDF, mov, mpg, mp4, m4v and wmv etcetera
    ideally i would also like to STORE these in one place if at all possible.
    i currently have Aperture and Adobe Bridge.

  • How do you delete videos and songs in iTunes?????

    My delete option is in shady light gray font meaning you can't use this option. How do I delete songs and video?? Anyone?? Thanks!!!

    If it the delete menu item is greyed out, then you likely do not have write permission for the file/folder/or drive the stuff is stored on?

  • How do I connect my iPad wirelessly to my Mac lion osx server to be able to access photos, movies and songs

    I would like to connect my iPad with my Mac server so that I can access songs, movies and photos on the server. How can I do this?

    I think you might be a little confused between iTunes on the iPad and iTunes on the Mac.
    You cannot update iTunes on the iPad separately from the entire operating system on your iPad.
    Its iTunes on your Mac that is not up to date.
    I order to sync an iPad running iOS 6 or later (you indicate yours is on iOS 6.1.3) you must have iTunes 10.7 or later ON YOUR COMPUTER.
    iTunes 10.7 requires a Mac OSX version 10.6.8 or later.
    You indicate that your Mac is running OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard). That's not good enough. You need a Mac with OSX higher than 10.5.8. Depending on which Mac you have you might be able to update the OSX on the Mac to what's needed for iTunes 10.7.
    If you reply here with the type of Mac you have, the type of processor it has and the amount of RAM it has, we might be able to tell you if you can update it and how to do it. Not all macs can be updated to the required OSX version.

  • Trouble putting videos and songs on iPod

    I was and am still having trouble uploading a wmv file to my iTunes playlist and putting it on my iPod. When I decided to upload the six videos I had already had on my Movies playlist (via syncing) I aborted due to it taking too long. After aborting, however, it removed all 1500 songs off my iPod. Now I cannot drag and drop songs onto my iPod.

    I was and am still having trouble uploading a wmv file to my iTunes playlist and putting it on my iPod.
    The iPod cannot play .wmv files, so you need to convert it to a format that the iPod can play.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).
    Now I cannot drag and drop songs onto my iPod.
    Bear in mind you can only do this if the iPod is set to manual transfer.

  • 8120 videos and songs aren't playing

    I have an 8120 w/ a memory card. Last night I was watching the videos on my phone and listening to songs w/ no problem. Today nothing will play! It takes me to the screen but then does nothing. Someone please help! Thanks so much!

    Regarding the songs not playing through, I noticed none of the songs in my library had the little tick mark beside them. I ticked a few of them and they played from one to another. I went through my whole library, ticking everysong and no the problem is fixed. I only have 733 songs so it didn't take me too long. I don't know of a short way of doing it.
