Bringing over Custom EQ settings in iPod

When updating your iPod from iTunes, is there a way that the iPod can bring over the EQ's that you've customized in iTunes?
For me this would be wonderful. The EQ selections in the iPod are very basic and could use some true graphic equalizing tweaking.
Can this be done?

That's what I thought but in my iTunes what I have done was take the EQ setting 'R&B' and tweaked it to my liking and then saved it as Custom 1.
Then when I updated my iPod, the EQ setting in it is still on 'Rock'.
So does it truly bring over the EQ settings set in iTunes?

Download custom equalizer settings to ipod?

How can you download custom equalizer settings cereated in iTunes to the iPod?
I created custom equalizer settings and assigned those settings to several songs. iTunes plays the songs with the correct equalizer setting on my computer. But when I download to the iPod, only the preset equalizer settings are available in the menu. I need custom settings to compensate for the earphone frequency response and none of the preset settings even comes close to what is needed.

Copy custom equalizer settings to ipod...

Not a difficult thing to do I would think... have some of the Apple techies update iTunes to export custom equalizer settings to the iPod. Would be a nice touch.

Transfering custom EQ settings to iPod?

Hello!
I have a great Equalizer setting on my Mac that I would love to transfer to my iPod - it works well for my small earbuds (not the default Apple earbuds) in loud places. However, the iPod (still!) won't support custom settings!
I know one work around:
1. make a custom setting
2. Save it as a preset - overwrite the default. Say, save it as "Rock", and overwrite the included version. It works, but it's a hassle, and I don't want to lose the ability to use that EQ on iPod. (I can/have saved the original as "Rock original" or similar)
There's one other thing I know: If you view hidden folders, you can see the iPod Control folder inside the iPod after enabling disk mode. I need to figure out how I was able to view hidden folders before, of course. (Meh, bad memory). Inside this folder is an EQ folder, full of presets. This is obviously where the iPod looks for it's EQ settings. If I knew how to convert an iTunes EQ to the iPod-readable format, I could copy it in - and see if it worked. Does anyone know anything about this method?
So, the question is: How can I get a custom setting into iPod? Yes, I know the iPod won't do it by default. Yes, I know you can follow method 1 above. But is there a setting/script/application out there that can enable this?

Well it hasn't happened in the updates since the iPod was introduced, and it would be wrong of us to speculate.
If you would like to suggest this to Apple, use this link.

I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help. Is this possible. In former versions of itunes this was posible. I can't find the solution is iTunes 11

Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.

Best custom video settings for QT on iPod

What are the best Custom video settings for creating a QT video via iMovie for use with the iPod? That is to say, I want to d/l from a Camcorder and then convert that to Quicktime...ultimately to be played on the iPod.
Thanks,

Will we have Custom EQ settings in Feb?

Now I'm no developer and know little in the way of programming limitations etc but I am wondering if there is a chance that once the SDK is released in Feb we might see an improved feature on the iPod and iPhone.
Does anyone know if it would be theoretically possible to set up the iPod touch and iPhone to sync custom EQ settings from iTunes? I can't figure out if this would rely on a change to iTunes or the device itself or both. I'm not asking you to predict if anyone will do it, just whether it is likely to be possible.
If it is possible, do any of you geniuses know someone who would be interested in doing it, and in turn make me a very happy man? Heck, I'll pay them to do it!!
Any info anyone has on this would be much appreciated. Thanks to you all.
John

A "Yes possible in theory" is good enough for me! A little hope never killed anyone.
Speaking of killing someone, don't mean to push you over the edge by bringing this up again Ansuz82 but I noticed a similar thread about does the iPhone transfer presets or not. I got a bit lost but just wanted to check if I were getting it.
It seemed there were two variables.
Whether custom EQ's transfer over if added to the song in iTunes or whether it only worked for the pre-programmed EQ's (stock EQ's?)
Whether you could hear the difference through the headphone jack or only the line out.
If I got it correctly I understood that pre-programmed EQ's assigned to a tune in iTunes will transfer across and can be heard through either line out or headphone jack. iPhone EQ needs to be set to "FLAT" to hear this correctly though.
But, Custom EQ's assigned to a tune in iTunes will not copy across so listening to such a tune with EQ set to "OFF" or "FLAT" makes no difference.
Is this a correct summary?... if you can remember?
Thanks again for your help.

Is there a way to create a project with custom audio settings that are NOT only "Stereo" or "Surround"?

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

Can no longer change bit rate in AAC custom import settings

I've been re-ripping all my CDs at the new higher bit rate. My import settings were AAC Encoder -- custom, originally set to 256 kbps, VBR, and auto for the other two settings. However, some CDs I wanted at a lower setting, so I would go change the bit rate to either 192 or 224 (just so I'd have more room on my ipod) and there wouldn't be a problem. But now it's stuck -- the pop-up box no longer opens when I choose import settings, AAC Encoder, Custom, so I can't change the bit rate or anything else, and it's stuck on 224 kbps. I can still change bit rate and other settings in the custom menus for MP3, WAV, etc., just not AAC. A repair install of iTunes did not fix the problem.

Hi, Ed. I am running iTunes 9.0.3.15. When I click custom, the settings description in the details box display what they were before this thing happened = 112 kbps (mono)/224 kbps (stereo), VBR, optimized for MMX/SSE2. The pop-up dialogue box that used to appear (where you could choose the specific bit rate from the drop down menu) does not appear at all.
However, when I choose anything other than AAC Encoder, and then pick custom, the pop-up box appears and I can choose the bit rate and adjust the other settings as usual. It's just not happening for AAC Encoder anymore. Since the total un-install (following Apple's specified order) and reinstall didn't work, I'm baffled how to fix this .... (If it makes a difference, I changed the bit rate in the custom box while a CD was being burned...Apparently that was stupid, but I had done it previously without incident.) Thanks.

Where does iTunes store the custom EQ settings on my hard drive? (OSX 10.6)

Bought a new Mac. I moved over my iTunes library via export and then import. The songs are on an external drive. Everything went perfectly... except for my custom EQ settings.
The songs still have the custom EQs, but the equalizer itself doesn't have those settings anymore.
For example: for quiet songs, I have a custom EQ called "+6" that boosts the overall volume by 6db (far left EQ slider). If I click Get Info on a song with that custom EQ, I can see that it's still there (in the song's info, I mean), but the EQ itself is missing all of my custom EQs.
I have a full backup of my previous hard drive (not to mention that I still have the old Mac). Where can I find those EQ settings? Surely they're in a file somewhere, right?

The last time I did a clean install of Windows on my PC, I backed up the entire iTunes folder on a separate HD partition. After reinstalling iTunes, I copied the iTunes folder back to the C drive and all of the many EQ presets I had created were restored, along with the music. That was in late 2011. I came to the conclusion that this was how you back up the custom EQ settings.
I guess I made a mistake by assuming it would work again this time. Did I? I repeated the process today when I reinstalled Windows, and all the presets I had created did not get restored and now seem to be gone... Is there any way to recover them?
I spent a lot of time tweaking the different frequencies to get them just right and hope to not have to repeat that process.
All of the settings were created using the custom presets, and not on individual MP3 tracks themselves.
(iTunes version just installed: 11.0.2.26)

If i already have a data carrier setting in my iphone 4, and i want a upgrade for the setting via itunes, will it write over my existing settings?

You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:

But you'll have to use your Apple ID to sync bought media to her device. Disable all other things you don't want to sync like photos, contacts, etc.

Privacy settings on iPod Touch

Can anyone tell me how I get to the privacy settings on iPod Touch?
If not available on the app on the iPod Touch, is there a way to set them if I sign in at skype.com? (Couldn't find it there either)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

you may need to install the Skype windows/mac version to adjust your privacy settings. I think that your desired settings will be carried over or will also apply when you login again using your iOS device.

Customized EQ settings

After having read numerous responses indicating customized iTunes EQ settings are non-transferable to my iPod, I'd like to first get out of the way, this is not my question of my problem. My problem > After creating customized EQ presets on my Windows XP computer, and exiting iTunes (of course, after properly ejecting my iPod), whenever I start up iTunes again, my customized EQ settings are gone. For the longest time, I had a series of 10 to 15 customized settings that would always show up when I started iTunes. One day they all vanished, and I haven't been able to successfully retain a single customized EQ setting since. Can anyone explain ???
Just a few FYI items, if this might be of some help with
troubleshooting.
1. I have Sound Enhancer and Sound Check boxes checked (Playback tab).
2. I have Open iTunes automatically when this iPod is attached box checked (iPod tab).
3. My iPod shows up as a Removable Disk drive when displaying contents of My Computer folder (I believe this is normal, though I don't recall that's the way it was when I originally got my iPod and installed iTunes on my computer (again, I have Windows XP).
As far as I know, the only way you can create a customized
EQ setting is to modify the default EQ setting (Manual)
from the Equalizer window, left mouse, on preset pull-down menu, and select Make Preset option, after which blank window shows up and you name your customized preset, right ?
Any assistance anyone can provide would be great. Thanks

well done rwines!
was a rock 'n' roll musician for lots of years,
and naturally having my ears subjected to excessively
high volume levels has robbed me of the ability to
hear some of the high end of the sound spectrum at
the same volume level as the mids and bass.
my sympathies. i picked up some tinnitus a few years
ago (medication side effect). on bad days, it's like
Aphex Twin "Ventolin" (the version off "i care
because you do").
hmmmm. it's possible to make feature requests
for the iPod (directly to Apple). if you've got the
time and the inclination, it might be worth a try
with the customised EQ settings for the ipod:

Custom Import settings (MP3) not working?

I downloaded itunes today having read the help guides that I could d/l files in MP3 format. I changed the custom import settings as per the help guide and purchased music - only to find the downloads are still in m4p format & as such are no good for my mp3 player.
Right clicking & converting doesn't work as they are protected.
I am hoping this is just an error on the custom set up on my part, but reading this forum I did read about protected and Plus purchases, which I did not see in the help guide before I bought the music.
So, my question is: can the protected files be downloaded with the customized MP3 encoder settings or am I completely limited to Plus purchases?
Thanks!

The import setting have no effect on store downloads, all iTunes store downloads are AAC (MP4). The import settings are used to convert the songs imported from CD or to convert unprotected songs in iTunes, not for choosing a format to download song from the store.
You can't convert standard iTunes copy protected songs, only the iTunes Plus purchases can be directly converted to another format. Where possible if you need to convert you should go for iTunes Plus tracks. The only thing you can do with standard songs apart from playing them in iTunes or on an iPod/iPhone is burn them to Audio CD. You can use that CD just like any regular one. If you need songs that will play on a non Apple player you'd be better looking around for other stores that provide unprotected MP3 downloads.
