Can I use itunes for my ipod and wmp11 for my zen?

Hi,
I would like to use the same PC with 15g (mostly mp3's)of music in my music folders for two devices WMP11(creative zen vision m) and itunes (video ipod).
I don't want the files to copy themselves into the itunes folder.
I have experimented adding folders to the itunes interface and while it doesn't copy music to itunes folder, it does pull in some stray wma's and then says "sorry wrong format". What if I want to clear a file? will it delete it from my hard drive or just delete it from the itunes library?
There has to be an easier way to use two types of players with one large selection of music.
I have searched this forum for hours and can't find the answer. Thank you!

iCloud is for document and data syncing and for backing up your iOS devices. I assume you mean iTunes match and iTunes in the cloud.
I couldn't really answer that question for you, I don't know how many movies etc you wish to carry arround with you, or whether you are in a location that allows downloading of TV shows or movies.
Myself I have always bought the 64 GB version of the iPad each time it's been released to give me access to my media content. This time because of iTunes match and iTunes in the cloud, I've ordered the 32 GB, I don't know whether doing the same would suit you, but yes for me I'm happy ordering a smaller storage version.

  • Can I use the same icloud username and password for multiple phones?

    I have 6 iphones and wanted to use Apple Configurator to install the same apps on all 6 phones.  Some of the apps though, also require further installation by email.  Can I use the same iCloud username and password for all 6 phones to download the apps and also to configure email or do I need to create 6 different Apple IDs?

    If different people will be using these phones, you might be better off using the same Apple ID for the iTunes content...apps, music, etc. on each of these devices, but create different ID's for iCloud on each device. You can use one ID for the iTunes/App store, & a different ID for iCloud. That way, messages, notes, contacts, calendars, etc will be kept separate on each device.

    To use itunes 10.7 you need to have Snow Leopard operating system installed
    These are the system requirements

  • I did the recent update on my ipad 7.0.4 and now it keeps freezing up and can not use it. Tried reboot and works for a second then freezes right up again. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?

    Madmonkey,
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Gaylefromnewhope,
    Seems like you tried this all ready and it didn't help.
    Next might be to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    Note that when you do this you will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
    If that doesn't help you might tries a restore of your iPad using iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. Do a backup and save all data first. Or
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Can I use iTunes to convert m4a to mp3 for use on my car stereo

    I would like to burn a playlist to a CD for playing on my car stereo.  If I use the default audio option, the CD sounds terrible, so I guess I need to select the mp3 option instead.  When I do that, however, I'm told that my files are in m4a format and need to be in mp3 format instead.  Can I use iTunes to convert m4a files to mp3, and if so, how? I wish to retain the songs in my iTunes so I suspect I need to make copies of the original and convert the copies, but I don't know how to do this either.

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • Can I use iTunes in my Mac and also on my virtual machine in Parallels?

    I have iTunes in the Mac and am totally happy with it. However, my library allows downloading of books, and some of them are only available in wma format. I have Windows XP in Parallels 5, and was able to download a book successfully in Parallels, using the software provided by the library. However, when I put my iPod in to try to transfer the files to it, iTunes in the Mac kept opening, and the software in Windows said it couldn't find the iPod. I tried designating the USB port for Parallels, but that didn't help. My iPod happens to be formatted for PC, so I think that wouldn't be the problem. So, my only way to get this book out of Windows would be to burn it onto 30 CDs.
    My question is, is it possible to do what I'm trying to do--if so, do I need to open an iTunes account in Windows, and would it have to be a different account, or is it not possible to have two accounts in the same computer? If it's not possible I'll just give up on this idea and stick with mp3 formatted books, but if it is possible, could someone tell me how to do it? Thanks for any help you can provide. Barbara

    Thanks, but please explain. I can't download wma files into Overdrive Media for the Mac, and had to install another version inside Parallels, and that's where the downloaded files are. How could I get those files into the Overdrive software on the Mac? Thanks, Barbara

  • Using iTunes on multiple ipods and PCs

    I currently have an iPod mini (purchased 2005) which I use in conjunction with iTunes on my PC. My mini is now on its last legs, and so my partner and I are going to get some replacements: two iPod shuffles (one each) and a classic to put our combined music collections on.
    There are a couple of things that I could use help with.
    1.) How do I connect the three new iPods that we're going to buy to my existing iTunes library?
    2.) Is it possible to create a combined iTunes library that is shared between my PC and my partner's PC, so that we can each share each other's music? (My partner is not currently on iTunes and would have to sign up first).
    3.) Is it possible to use our shared iPod classic both on my PC and on my partner's? (My PC runs on windows xp and my partner's on windows 2000).
    Thanks for your help!

    There are several different ways to use multiple iPods with one computer, have a look at this help page for suggestions and choose the method that suits you best: How to use multiple iPods with one computer
    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 (iPod shuffles can only be used with one library by the way):
    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

  • Is it possible to have 2 different library 1 for ipod and 1 for iphone ?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it's possible to have 2 different library in itunes 1 for a ipod and 1 for a iphone.
    I'm using the same computer as my boyfriend to sync my iphone and his ipod and we absolutly don't listen to the same music so if i could have 1 library for my iphone and 1 for his ipod it would be best of bot world when we sync our iphone/ipod.

    Yes. Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as needed, or use separate user accounts on the computer.

  • HT204053 Can I use my Apple ID that I have for my iPod, for my new iPad? And how?

    HELP. Can I use my Apple ID that i have for my iPod, for my new iPad? If so, how?

    You can use the same account - go in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores if you are on iOS 6) and sign into your existing account (if you created a new account and are logged in with it then tap on that id and log out of it first). You can then use your old account in the same way as you use it on your iPod.

  • I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod"

    I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod" - I've had the adapter for several years and I think it's ok for my ipod touch but since it pre-dates both of these products I want to try and make sure it's ok to use with them before I do use it. Thanks.

    If iTunes does not see your iPod then your only hope is a data recovery company. Not cheap.
    However, you may be able to get some photos by:
    Photos
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPOd, iPhone or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:

  • I have multiple apple devices mainly used between me and my wife , my question is that can i have two sets of contacts backed up to icloud one for her devices and one for my devices using the same itunes account

    i have two sets of devices one ipad, iphone and mac which i use and one iphone ipad and mac which my wife uses
    now is it possible to have two sets of contacts and calendar synchronised for her devices and one for my devices using the same icloud account
    i dont want a separate itunes account as we use the same music books and apps to be automatically downloaded which is very convenient
    please guide

    You can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device).  There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.
