Books on iPod Classic?

Although I'm not new to using an iPod (I have the 80GB Classic)for visual and audio files, I'm wondering whether I can transfer text files to the iPod (I have a number of drafts in MS Word). If so, what format will the iPod recognise and will I have to split the manuscripts?

I'm wondering whether I can transfer text files to the iPod
You can. Enable disk use for the iPod, and then transfer them to the iPod's Notes folder.
what format will the iPod recognise
Plain text and a few HTML tags.
will I have to split the manuscripts
Yes, if they contain more than 4000 characters. A maximum of 1000 will be displayed.

  • Audiobook chapters no longer grouped by book on iPod classic

    My new iPod classic arrived today. When I synced it to iTunes 7.4.2 I found that the contents of the Audiobooks category were no longer grouped by title. Instead, all of the files were simply alphabetically sorted. So all of the "Chapter 1"s from all of the books appear together in the list. And they play back that way, too—going from Book A's Chapter 1 to Book B's. This basically makes it impossible to listen to an audiobook.
    Also, "Audiobooks" no longer appears in the list of Genres, though it did on my old iPod.
    All of my audiobooks are .m4b files and show up in the Audiobooks category (not in the Audiobooks genre under Music) in iTunes.
    Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what's going on?

    See the first section of Corrupt iPod classic. If the media files aren't visible in the hidden folders then it may still be possible to use an unerase/undelete or other file recovery tool.

  • Syncing Address Book to IPod Classic

    Problem: Syncing Address Book to my iPod Classic 80 (using iMac, bought new Dec. 2007)
    I have tried again and again to sync my Address Book to the iPod; with always the same weird results.
    1. When I sync my iPod to the Address Book, only seven contacts of 166 appear on the iPod - THIS is the problem.
    2. On the iTunes Contacts page I have checked; ‘Sync Address Book’ and ‘All Contacts’.
    3. During syncing the window states that it is syncing contacts.
    4. In the list of ‘Selected Groups’ (I always have ‘All Contacts’ checked) groups appear that I have deleted in Address Book.
    5. I used Bento in the past, and didn’t like it; I have moved Bento from the application folder to the Trash. Could Bento be interfering somehow?
    6. On Preferences I have tried vCard 3.1 and 2.0, neither worked - 3.1 is currently selected.
    7. In Address Book, I did an archive backup. And then restored with the archive, no difference, with the sync. The restore worked fine in Address Book.
    8. As a test, in Address Book I deleted one of the seven contacts, that do appear on the iPod (see 1. above); then synced; it still appears on my iPod - the contact that won’t die.
    9. Syncing of Calendars works fine.
    10. I have tried resetting the iPod. Still no difference after syncing, still only seven contacts appear, including the deleted one.
    11. Where is the data for the Address Book stored on the computer? If I deleted all the data files in Address Book, would that help? Would the files rebuild themselves with the restore archive?
    12. The iPod software is up to date.
    13. Resetting the iPod did not change anything.
    14. I did the sync manually - syncing only Contacts, still only seven contacts.
    What can I do? Any ideas would be appreciated. Using the iPod for contacts would very useful - I really do not want to buy another device or a cell phone (PDA) that also stores addresses.
    Thanks, Diane

    OK - Now we have some progress. I did as suggested and 'Reset Sync History', The seven contacts on the iPod are gone! However, it still is not syncing up my contacts. I reset the iPod, tried manually, restarted the computer, etc. - it didn't help. Thank you for the suggestion.
    Thank You, Diane

  • ITunes does not sync my contacts in Address Book to iPod classic

    Just as the title says.
    iTunes ver. 10.5
    Address Book ver. 6.1
    I bought my iPod classic in Apple Online Store last summer.

    same here, also iTunes 10.5,
    I heard it could  be a problem because of iCloud?

  • I cannot sync my contacts from iMac (Address Book) to iPod Classic since iTunes 11 has loaded.  Any advice please ?

    I cannot sync my Address Book contacts from iMac to my existing iPod Classic since iTunes 11 has loaded.  Any bright ideas please ?

    I'm having the same issue. I have an iPod Classic 120gb with 2.0.1 and iTunes 11.0.1 on an iMac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

  • Audio books on iPod classic

    I have not been able to put an audio book (from a CD) onto my iPod classic.  It uploads the tracks just fine, but treats them like regular music tracks.  There is nothing in the audio books section on my menu, but all 7 2-hour tracks of the book are nestled in among my music.  Any advice?

    Are the iPods configured to sync audiobooks from under their Books configuration tab in iTunes.  To check this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane to bring yourself to the Summary tab.  Now locate the Books tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what audiobooks sync to your iPod. 
    If you do happen to make any changes to the iPods' configurations make sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to update the changes to your device.

  • How do you view books on IPod classic?

    How can you view pdf files on the IPod? I know about IPod Notes, but I am not trying to convert all of my .pdf books to .txt books, this would take forever, and I lose the photos that are incorporated in the books. (Is there a program for that??)

    Hello Cyenthies,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The short answer is that you cannot. Sorry.

  • I just bought an audio book from iStore, it is in my iTunes under "audiobooks" but will not sync with my iPod Classic, any ideas?

    I have downloaded several audiobooks from audible and they have synced fine with my iPod but this book from the Apple Store will not sync from my iTunes to my iPod.
    I am also having an issue with iTunes U; I have subscribed to the two classes I am taking this term and downloaded the videos to iTunes but when I sync my iPod classic I keep getting this error message: "Some of the videos in your iTunes Library were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod." I'm not sure what is going on because I have used this feature on my iPod classic before and it worked fine.

    Those videos are probably not in an iPod-friendly format. It’s picky about that. You can try converting them, if possible.
    As for the audiobooks, are you sure they haven’t synced? You’ve enabled it to sync books and checked the “Audiobooks” section of your iPod?

  • My iPod Classic is emitting a low whining noise and I can no longer access songs or audio books. Should I restore factory settings?

    When I turn my iPod Classic on I hear a low whining noise coming from it.If I follow through the menus to a song or an audio book it shows the item for a few seconds then reverts to the previous menu and the whining noise is audible again. I have tried the "5 Rs" without success. Should I try restoring the factory settings - or is there something else I can do? I would be grateful for any advice!

    I have the same problem with my ipod 4th gen 32gb! My music is all in the library but I cannot get it to go onto my ipod!! Ever since the latest iOS 6.1.3 update! I have restored my ipod, backed it up, done absolutely everything!! Nothing works! Please help!

  • ICal and Address Book quit working on iPod Classic.

    iCal and Address Book no longer sync to my iPod Classic. Why did this stop working? Anyone else have this problem? How can I fix it?
    Thanks!

    I reinstalled the operating system and the computer now syncs fine.
    Cheers!

  • I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

    I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos".  How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two?   I just want to add a feature.  Thanks

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

  • My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

    The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
    I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
    Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
    Any help would be apprecated.

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

  • Can I use the ipod classic as an external hardrive with time machine as well as an ipod for my mac book pro OS X?

    Can I use the ipod classic as an external hardrive with time machine as well as an ipod for my mac book pro OS X?

    No. Time Machine has been specifically written not to back up to an iPod.

  • IPod classic as e-book reader?

    I just heard that ipod classic can read ebooks in text format. I wonder how can you convert pdf files to txt and put them in ipod so you can read them through notes. I don't know how to do it though so that's a question to everyone who done did it. Thank you

    I don't think you will have much joy with this idea. The text files have to be no more than 4KB in size,which is a maximum the iPod can handle. Anything bigger would be truncated. This would mean that you would have to edit a converted PDF file into text files smaller than 4KB, and this would be so time consuming you would have no time to read the book.

  • How can I get my IPOD Classic to play books using Gracenote?

    In the past I have been able to use my IPOD classic to listen to books on my cars using the USB connection. My new Car a (2013 GMC Terrain) will play the book, but I have no control of it if I try to pause it, it will revert back to the radio view and I have replug the unit.  Unfortunately, GMC added the Gracenote indexing software to the Intellink, so that it doesn't recognize the books, only songs. Is there a solution for this? No help from Audible or GMC.

    On the iPod, create an On-The-Go Playlist.
    Navigate to the first Playlist you want to use; press-and-hold the Select (centre) button until the Playlist name flashes. This puts that playlist into the On-The-Go Playlist, which is located at the bottom of the Playlist menu.
    Now navigate to the second Playlist you want; press-and-hold the Select button until the Playlist name flashes. This has added the second Playlist to the On-The-Go Playlist.
    Repeat for each Playlist you want to add.
    Once you have added all the Playlists you want, scroll down to the end of the Playlist to On-The-Go list. If you go into the On-The-Go list, you will see all the songs form your other Playlists, in Playlist order. Simply scroll to the first song and press the Select or Play to start the first song playing.
    By the way, there was no missing manual. No manual was supplied.
