Can someone clarify the syncing restrictions for all iPods? (minus shuffle)

I currently have two libraries. When I sync my iPod with music, movies or tv shows from one library, if I try to sync from my other library requesting to sync with any of the three types, it overwrites all three. One library only has music and the other library has everything else (movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc.)
It does not overwrite my podcasts or pictures, however. Is this because of a DRM issue? Can someone clarify the syncing restrictions or point to an article about this?
Can someone also clarify if it is possible to sync my music from one library and sync my tv shows/movies without erasing my music? I am already aware of the possibility of manually managing my music and videos, but I need to sync my music for the ratings and play count.
Thanks in advance.

I have one library in my internal hard drive and I have one on an external drive. I don't have my external drive everywhere I go, so I put all the media I want to access in my internal library. They take up a significant amount of space, so I would like to keep them separate.

  • Can I edit the start time for all the podcasts from a single subscription downloaded to my itunes? i.e. want to creat a playlist of all the podcasts I have from a particular show...

    I want to creat a playlist of all the podcasts I have from a particular show, want to edit out the first minute on all to skip the intro. Do not want to edit over 200 podcast manually. Is there a solution?

    View menu -> Show Status Bar
    Then the total play time for any group of tracks you select in the Songs area, for any selected album or for any selected playlist will show at the bottom of the iTunes window as in previous versions.
    The ability to open playlists in separate windows was for some unfathomable reason removed in iTunes 11. Whether it will ever come back none of us here can say, but you can express your need for that feature via Apple's feedback page:

  • How can I remove the back cover for my ipod?

    I need to remove the cover because my ipod seems to be suffering from a hardrive problem. It used to just cycle through all the songs in a playlist or randomly play 5 seconds and skip to the next song, but now it just makes a whirring noise when I try to turn it on and cannot get past the apple logo.
    Sometimes I get the little unhappy ipod logo and the support website but thats it.
    Iv tried going into diagnostic mode and attempting to run a few tests. It failed a USB test in this mode so i think that may be one of the problems with it.
    Does anyone know of a fool proof way of removing the case so I can dis/reconnect the harddrive?

    Before you remove the back cover of your iPod - which will loss the warranty
    Read the following
    he Sad iPods icon or folder with an exclamation mark are the toughest problems to deal with, and must do a Restore in order to fix it. However, when your iPod is showing this icon, it is probably too late for your computer to recognize the iPod.
    1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Still can't see your iPod?
    Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
    3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    7. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. We've found that in many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    8. Try to do an Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a format with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer). You may need to plug and unplug your iPod with the computer for several attempts, and switching around Format and Restore, and hope out of sudden, it will get recognized.
    9. Diagnostic mode solution – which I copied from a thread of a post from thinktwice
    “Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
    - I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
    - I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
    - I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
    My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.
    Details on Diag mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
    10.Let me ask you a question, if an iPod with no iPod software with it. When your connect it with a computer, what would happen?
    Yeah, the computer will treat it as a fresh external hard disk, which will get force mounted, the computer will ask you to format the iPod. It does not really matter the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted iPod software on the iPod, after that the computer will recognize it.
    Once it has been completed, eject your iPod, open the iPod updater and interestingly, you will able to do the Restore this time.
    Base on the above, that's why I suggest Windows users who experience trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac machine or vice versa. PC computer will not recognize a Mac formatted iPod, but it will get mounted in an attempt to format your iPod.
    But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.
    I have just read an interesting solution about the Sad iPod, it does make sense but the warranty will be waived once you open the iPod, I would not do it myself as I am not good on doing this

  • ITunes can't download the software upgrade for my Ipod

    I have a new Ipod Nano 8GB. When I connected to Itunes it tells me that there is a new software update available for it (I think it was version 1.1). ITunes then tries to download it.
    The trouble is that I don't have broadband, and have no plans at present. My dial-up connection took over 3 hours to download ITunes when I first got the Ipod. I would be quite happy to let it take as long as that to download the software upgrade for the nano but I tried several times and the line kept dropping.
    Is it available anywhere as a stand-alone download? (I can download using another machine I have access to which cannot have itunes installed on it)
    Thanks,
    Stewart

    If y are getting an error that yu can't contact the update server then:
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Otherwise why can't our download the update?

  • Can somebody clarify the data plans for me?

    My wife and I are looking to get our first Droids and I have some questions about the data plan.
    Does the 150MB allowance refer only to downloading/uploading or will we be charged for, say, listening to the radio online? Does playing Farmville count towards the allowance? What about GPS? I looked around the Verizon site but can't find any clear explanation of the data plans.
    Thanks!

    Any time you transmit or recieve data on Verizon's network, you will be assessed usage against your 150MB allowance on that plan.  That means that any time you send information to, or download information from the internet, you will be using your allowance.  This includes activities like playing games online (Farmville) and listening to the radio online.  Both of those activities are fairly data intensive, and if you plan to do them more than 1-2 times a month for a short amount of time, you should consider the unlimited data plan.
    GPS does not use data in and of itself, but most programs that utilize GPS, like navigation programs, or apps that help you identify businesses/restaurants/attractions nearby will use data when they download that information.
    If you are online and you are NOT connected to a Wifi network, you are using data.

    The ui is like:
    label name     |    selectOneChoice : 'Set Value' or 'Choose a Value'   |        inputText (if it is 'Set Value') / selectOneChoice (if it is 'Choose a Value')
    The weird thing is when i click the selectOneChoice of the two or later row, the ValueChangeListener will be invoked, it indeed change the value  of 'selectWay' correctly. But the UI will not update. If later i do the same thing to the first row, all other rows in UI will update corrently.
    Any suggestions? Very appreciated for any repiles.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    on problem I spot is that all your components created by the forEach loop have the same ID value. I suggest you change the ID to e.g. id="soc_#{item.index}" for zhe select one choices. In addition, I don't see where you refresh components after the change

  • Can someone explain the 'archive' function for TC?

    Hi there,
    When you access TC from Airport Utility, there are options to erase and archive the HD.
    I have tried the archive function, but what I don't understand is how one utilises the archive. What happens if I need to use it?
    Sorry if this seems obvious...
    Michael.

    I think you misunderstand the archive function. As I stated in my first post, the archive is a clone of the Time Capsule HDD. It gives you an additional copy of the TC HDD. You may never need to use it.
    To restore, that depends on what you need to restore... the entire system or individual files. You restore your entire system with your install disks and using the TM backup to restore. To restore file(s) you preferably use your TM interface.

  • How can i find the serial number for an ipod classic

    I dont have the original packaging or the reciept, It wont connect to itunes or my laptop and all that shows on the ipod's screen is a red circle with a cross inside it. I have tried to reset it but have not been able to. Any help would be much appreciated

    If your iPod Classic was the last device that you connected to and synced with your iTunes library, there is a chance you might be able to get the serial # to show up in the Device Connectivity diagnostic report. See here for instructions on running this test.
    iTunes for Windows: Device Connectivity Tests
    Otherwise, if you have previously registered the device with Apple, you can view it's serial # in your list of devices you have registered under your Apple ID.

  • New laptop can't find the driver software for my ipod. What should I do?

    Previously I've used a family member's computer to sync their songs onto my iPod. We have very different tastes in music so I was excited to finally get my own songs on here. I now own my own laptop and have installed the most recent iTunes. However, whenever I plug the Ipod in it says "Windows needs to install driver software for your Unknown Device" I click locate and install driver software but it doesn't work and remains an Unknown Device and I can't sync songs. Should I have a CD or something for this? I have a 2nd gen. iPod nano so if I ever did get one it's long gone now...
