Can a MP3 library be shared by an iPod and a Zen Mic

About a year ago I started getting into digital music and have built up a MP3 collection to over 5,300 songs. These files are encoded to 92kbps MP3 using iTunes and are stored on their own hard dri've.
My question is... can these files be shared between Creative and Apple? Or, do I have to do as some of my searches indicated (specifically, manually manage songs via WMP 0 or MusicMatch or etc.)?
I have no protected files, and the only format I have songs in is MP3.

An update, and consider this thread closed for the most part:
After realizing the version of MediaSource that shipped with the Zen Micro I won in a contest at work was HEINOUSLY out of date, I upgraded to the latest rev of software, and updated the Zen Micro to the latest firmware.
Still no worky. On the first pass, tagged information was all screwed up (populated with the dreaded <Unknown>) on the import to MS, and when the tracks were opened again in iTunes, the data that was there would be deleted or corrupted.
So, after googling for a bit for a fix or at least a reason, I found that most people converted all ID3 tags in iTunes (or their MP3 library) to ID3 v2.3.
Presto! Beautiful track names, album titles, artists and genres on the re-import and tonight I should be able to start building playlists.
Moral of the story? Check your software versions before you panic.

Can an Apple ID be shared between 2 devices and each be private?

Of course. To do it, open iTunes holding the Option (Alt) key, so you will see an option to create a iTunes library. Note that, after doing that, you will have two iTunes libraries in the same account, so you can choose the one you want to start iTunes opening it while holding the Option key

How can i take the pictures from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything

How can I take the pics from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything?

Pictures on an iPod are stored in a special format, optimized for the iPod's small lower resolution screen, to save storage space. iTunes puts them into that format when syncing. There is setting in iTunes, on the iPod's Photos screen (where you set up syncing of photos) for Include full resolution photos. If that checkbox was checked when you synced the photos to the iPod, THEN you can Enable disk use and find those photo files on the iPod in the Photos folder.
Otherwise, you cannot get your photos back, using iTunes. There may be third-party utilities that can extract individual photos from the iPod, but they will still be lower-resolution versions of the original photo.

Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
1. I wiped it
2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
3. It registered
4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

Can I use my old IPhone as an Ipod, and download songs from ITunes?

Can I use my old IPhone as an Ipod, and download songs from I Tunes?

Sure, it will work just fine that way. Leave the deactivated sim in the phone, as you'll need it should you ever have to restore or upgrade the software on the phone. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim in the phone.

Can you read a e-book on your ipod and how can you transfer them ?

See same topic (almost) next to this one. You need Acrobat Reader and the iPod is not equipped at this time to run that application.

Itunes Library sharing with multiple ipods and 2 pc's

Hi, I have a new Ipod nano and want to use my wifes itunes library with my ipod. Which according to the tech stuff I can share the content by enabling on wifes pc. Done that, which I can now see library on my Acer laptop. However, I can't sync my playlist from her pc to my itunes. I want to download my own podcasts etc.. not clutter her itunes pc. When I transfer the ipod back to my pc it then wants to delete and re-sync.
We have 3 ipods in the house and 2 pc's.
Whats the best way of using the ipods and getting the most out of itunes?
Thanks

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

I have two itunes accounts on two different computers, can i merge the accounts so i can then have the same music on both ipod and iphone?

i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
it is all so confusing i need help!!!

You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

Why can't I keep my songs on my ipod and still sync a movie?

I am new at this.. I bought a movie and want to sync it to my iPhone/iPod but a message tells me I will lose my music when I sync the movie. Why can't I have the music and movie? Why does one replace the other? I appreciate the help you can give me. Thanks!

Thank You. I will work with the information you gave me and see if I can
learn what is going on.

Subject:        Why Can't I Put My Clips on Certain
Video and Audio Tracks?
Any kind of source video can go on any video track in a sequence.
Therefore, it's the audio that is causing the problem.
Your source clips can have three potential audio channel assignments
(actually, there are more, but they are just combinations of these three).
A source clip can have mono audio, stereo audio, or 5.1 audio.
Correspondingly, there are specific types of audio tracks that must be in
a sequence in order for source clips with specific source channels to be
edited into them. If you drag a clip to a sequence, and there is not an
audio track that matches the source channels of the source clip, a new
track will be created that matches, e.g. a stereo track for a stereo
source clip. However, if you try to insert or overlay a source clip into a
sequence that doesn't have a matching track, the audio will be ignored.
In the sequence, you can tell what sort of audio track you're working with
if you look for the little speaker icon that appears just to the right of
the track header label (Audio 1, Audio 2, etc.). A single speaker is mono,
a double speaker is stereo, and "5.1" is displayed for 5.1. You can add
tracks manually by right-clicking the header area and selecting Add
Tracks, or going to Sequence > Add Tracks.
It sounds like you're working with media with various audio assignments;
the Project Panel display will tell you how many channels are in your
source clips if you don't know for sure. Once you know that, you can
control where your clips go when you attempt to add them to a sequence.

Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

Thanks Tgara.
Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
Argh!
I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

How can I disable Library/Home Sharing in iTunes?

So, i have two apple computers connected to the same network, one iMac connected via ethernet cable, one MBP connected to wifi. There are also other apple products connected to the same network but i don't think they have any relation to the problem that i have.
On both machines i have Home sharing turned off and i have even disabled all the options from the General sharing menu (outside itunes). Despite all this, i can see on both machines the other machine's library and i can play everything, music, videos, playlists, etc. What is even stranger is that in iTunes general preferences i have unchecked 'shared libraries' so i shouldn't see it even if it was shared. I have even tried to activate home sharing but to select nothing in the sharing list...no change. i am not even loged in to itunes or app store. Both macs have 10.8.3 and itunes 11.
What i suspect may be related to this:
Initially i had only the macbookpro with a user id, password, library name 'username's library'. After i've bought the imac i have set it with the same accound name, password and of course library name was the same. At some point i had home sharing on both machines since i used the same apple for it.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I mean normally i wouldn't care but i think that because of this, my imac does not go correctly to sleep, or wakes up when i open itunes on the other machine. I have wake on demand ON and i do not want to turn it off since i keep it on to ssh from the MBP and run some scripts, etc while the iMac is sleeping
Any ideea is welcomed! Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You would only need homesharing on your iPad if you want to use the remote app (which is quite handy actually). To be able to use the iPad with the Apple TV, you use AirPlay, but the iPad won't show up in a list on the Apple TV, you send content from the iPad itself.
Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

Can an iPhoto library be shared with Lightroom and capture one?

Since Aperture is being replaced by … nothing, how can I access the same library with multiple editors?

Neither iPhoto, Lightroom nor Capture One are editors. They are all database driven Photo Managers with non-destructive processing. There is no rational workflow that would use more than one of these apps, any more than it would make sense to write a novel in three different word processors at the same time.
Pick the one that suits your needs - if you're coming from Aperture then forget iPhoto, it's much less capable and also being end-of-lifed. Pick between Lightroom and Capture One. Then google the options for migration from Aperture to the one you choose.
