Adding and Removing Tunes from iPod nano

I am a 68 year old man who has loved music for many years and has an extensive music collection so my kids gave me an iPodnano for Christmas 2007. I hardly touched it for over a year because of fear of and unfamiliarity with new technologies but recently decided to give it a try.
My fears were well-founded. I don't know how it happened but lots of things are on my iPod that I don't know how they got there and that I want to remove and I also have lots of songs that I want to add to the iPod but I can do neither.
I read the manual for the 3d generation iPod I have and it did not bhelp. To remove songs the manual states, " In iTunes, select iPod nano in the source list." When I turn on iTunes there is no "source list" taht I can find. The same thing happens when the manual refers to a "Devices" icon which I cannot find either. And although I can see what tunes I have on my iPod by looking at it, I don't know how to make what I have on my iPod appear on my computer scrteen when I'm in iTunes.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated or else my iPod nano is pretty much useless to me.
Thanks.

the source list on itunes is the grey blue section on the left hand side of itunes, where it lists your libraries and the store.
When the ipod is connected to the computer you will see devices on the left hand side of itunes between itunes store and playlists.
if the ipod is not showing there I would try another USB port on the computer (if on a desk top use the back of the tower).
If still not showing at that point I would make sure you are running the proper system for the unit.
Try those steps first and if still having the issure of the ipod not showing there are other steps on the support pages or you can call apple but if the ipod is over a year old they will have to charge you to walk you through steps on the phone but they can email you for free the articles that will solve the issue at that point.

HT1351 Removing contacts from iPod nano

I am synching my iPod nano to iTunes and cannot get it to remove my contacts. I have deselected contacts, but they remain on the iPod after synching is completed. What should I do?

Is the place where you "deselected contacts" is on the iPod's Info tab, with the checkbox that says Sync Contacts?
If so, and that did not work due to some data issue on the iPod, you may need to do a Restore on the iPod from the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. This will erase the iPod (including that contacts data), re-install its software, and set it to default settings. Since you are using automatic syncing to load the iPod, all of your songs and other content must be in your iTunes library, so it should not be too tedious to set up the other tabs to sync like before.

Lost tunes from Ipod Nano!

can anyone help. I uploaded some CD's onto my ipod nano and bought some tunes of the music store. for some reason the ipod has lost the purchased songs and now only has copird ones from CD. However they are in the libary on my itunes account. how can i retransfer them?

If you're using iTunes 7, you can copy purchased music back to iTunes directly. If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:

Adding and Removing Rows from a Table

So first time user here so hold on. I am creating a form in Adobe, using the LiveCycle Designer. It has help files on creating a table and having it grow as data is entered. So I create a table and follow the steps but nothing happens. Not sure what I am doing wrong here.
CustomerTable.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
This is code for my button. It is place in the first data row of the table. I inserted a subform so that I could have to buttons there.
I labeled everything accordingly (my table is called 'CustomerTable'). When I go to previeiw or save it and open as a regular pdf i will not give me more rows to enter information in. Is this syntax wrong or am I just retarded today?

Post your question in the LiveCycle Designer forum.

Right click on your device in the device list and choose "transfer purchses" to copy all music bought in iTunes to your new iTunes library.
For all other media you'll have to use 3rd party software, examples are mentioned in this thread:

i accidently deleted itunes on my pc!!! i still have all my music and photos on my ipod nano 6th gen,,,is it possible to transfer content from my nano back onto my pc???

No, unless the songs were purchased from iTunes. In that case, you Transfer Purchases to computer iTunes.
Otherwise, what you need is a 3rd party tool:

Removing songs from itunes without removing them from ipod

Is it possible to remove songs from iTunes without removing them from iPod? When I attempt to delete songs from iTunes I get a warning that they'll be deleted from iPod as well. I've got Manually manage music and videos checked under Options in the Summary window.

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See these about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
Buegie's complete back up strategy.
To move music from iPod to computer, check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.

How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

hi,
i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
Thank you!!

I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space

I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space.

I haven't done this with an external drive, but I would imagine it works the same way as if you have multiple internal drives. Also hopefully it works with less headache in OSX than in windows.
Anyway, move all your music over to your external, and then go into itunes -> preferences -> advanced -> iTunes media folder location. Navigate to your drive, and pick the folder you want. Ensure that your folders are set up like they are in your ~/Music/iTunes folder, or wherever your iTunes is currently pointing. Then quit and restart itunes. If your music doesn't show up, try dragging your music folder from your external onto itunes, and it will hopefully update your library.xml.
As far as Jerry's problem goes, you could try adding another music folder to your library.xml, but I really have no idea whether this will work or not. If you want to give it a try (can't promise you won't corrupt your library.xml, so make a copy beforehand) you can find the music folder xml element right near the top of the xml file (open it with textedit/textmate/whatever text editor you want (NOT WORD)). Curious to know if this works, and if it doesn't I have other ideas so let me know.

Best practice for adding and removing eventListeners?

Hi,
What is the best practice in regards to CPU usage and performance for dealing with eventListeners when adding and removing movieclips to the stage?
1. Add the eventListeners when the mc is instantiated and leave them be until exiting the app
or
2. Add and remove the eventListeners as the mc is added or removed from the stage (via an addedToStage and removedFromStage listener method)
I would appreciate any thoughts you could share with me. Thanks!
JP

Thanks neh and Applauz78.
As I understand it, the main concern with removing listeners is to conserve memory. However, I've tested memory use and this is not really an issue for my app, so I'm more concerned if there will be any effect on CPU (app response) if I'm constantly adding and removing a list of listeners every time a user loads an mc to the stage, as compared to just leaving them active and "ready to go" when needed.
Is there any way to measure CPU use for an AIR app on iOS?
(It may help to know my app is small - I'm talking well under 100 active listeners total for all movieclips combined.)

Add and Remove Publishers from Replication Monitor using T SQL

Is there any possibility to add an Publishers from Replication Monitor using T SQL.i am trying to configure the replication using T SQL..i can create all other steps but didn't find any way to add publisher to the replication monitor..kindly suggest..

Hi Snehasis,
Tom is correct, there is no T-SQL command to add a publisher to Replication Monitor. However, the server from which you launch Replication Monitor will automatically be added to Replication Monitor if it is a Publisher. Also, you can add additional
Publishers using the Add Publisher dialog.
