Can't download music to older iPod after getting the fight generation iPod

I bought the new iPod. I accidentally hit the button that named it the same as my older 3rd gen iPod. My current problem is: recent purchased music won't download to 3rd gen iPod (only new one) because my ipod software is too old (but it won't let me update it).
Additionally, i did create an iDVD via Quicktime and my iphotos. Is it true that i can only put this video on the new iPod if i purchase QuickTime Pro?

You'll need to "Restore" the iPod that isn't working with the current version of the iPod Updater utility. Download it, run the installer, then run the new iPod updater utility, connect the unusable iPod, click RESTORE. This erases everything on the iPod, and should let you then reload it with music in iTunes as desired.

    If you are using XP, and you went through the procedure at the bottom of the previously linked document to change the iPod's assigned drive letter, and you also tried putting it into Disk Mode... 
    If you have not already, try shutting down your computer and disconnecting all USB devices, including hub.  Start up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected.  Just to be safe, put the iPod into Disk Mode again

    Run iTunes.  Connect iPod to a direct USB port on computer.  iTunes may prompt you about "recovery" and ask you to do a Restore.  Try to do a Restore again.

    I can't find My Photo Stream album after getting the iOS 8 upgrade. Where did all my pictures go??

    That album, My Photo Stream, is no longer used.
    Instead, look in "Recently Added" within Albums, and also within Photos in the various timescale views. Both places should contain photos taken by any of your devices.

    That would seem to be a clue. Have you tried downloading this particular Podcast into your iTunes and then Syncing the iPod with it?
    If you can download it into iTunes, but then it still will not transfer onto the iPod (probably with the same message) then that suggests that it's a video Podcast which is in a format that the iPod cannot play.
    If that is the problem, select the video (in your iTunes Library) and click on *Advanced/Create iPod or iPhone version.* Bear in mind though, that the new version will take a while to convert, it will be in the Movies section and will no longer be classified as a Podcast.

  • Tried to up date, now I can't download a new firefox. I get the stop symbole on the icon after downloading

    I am running MAC 10.5.8, and I was asked to up-date my Firefox and I tried. I would get the international symbol for not working on the icon after downloading. I up-dated my computer software, and I cannot up-date or even install a new Firefox.

    Run the cleaner tool and try again.

    Your local Apple Store, MacMall and do a Google search.

  • I can't download firefox 4. I only get the option of "save file" or "cancel". When saving file nothing happens. Still doesn't download.

    I click on 'download', then the box appears asking whether I want to save file or cancel. Usually, when downloading, the option of "run file" is given, but not in this case.

    Click on Save File. Then click on the Tools menu at the top of the page and click on Downloads. When the file finishes downloading, double click it to being the installation.

  • Can't Download Music error -50

    Sorry if this has been posted already but i couldn't find anything relevant. When I go to download music I purchased today I get the message
    "There was a problem downloading [name of song]. An unknown error has occured {-50).
    Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    I used to have no problems downloading music. Anyone else having this problem and does anyone know a fix?

    I know this is stupid but...
    try closing and reopening iTunes (including restarting the machine)....
    Some history: the -50 error has been around for a very long time - both Mac and Windows... it "seems" that its a communications error with the store that drives everyone crazy as the error is non-intuitive and cryptic.
    It seems that in most cases, everyone has a solution that "eventually" works. It appears on both Mac and Windows. Solutions exist on the Mac that can't be applied on Windows, yet they still work.... and visa versa.
    Which makes me think this: what's the common thread here? The Music Store, and network and Apple. I think the store is having issues at that moment, with you and possibly others - many others and TIME seems to resolve it. While you and everyone else are trying their magic "fixes," the Store resolves itself and everyone thinks that what they did was the magic fix.
    Recommendation: wait a day or so and see if it "resolves" itself. If not, goto the help menu and email Apple. I bet the problem will disappear on you.
    Otherwise I have absoluetely no idea what I'm talking about. :P

  • How can i download music from my computer to my ipod nano without erasing music already there?

    how can i download music from my computer to my ipod nano without erasing music already there?

    If the music you are wanting to have on your iphone was purchased through itunes you can then go to your front display to settings>itunes and app store from there you have a toggled switch that allows you to automatically download music and apps by toggling the switch. You will need to toggle the switch below these switchs that allows for cellular data to be enabled if this has not already been enabled. This then will automatically download music and apps directly to your device with no additional charge to you.
    Good luck.

  • Can't download music videos to my ipod

    I just got an ipod with video. I have had no problems downloading music from Limewire to itunes and then onto my ipod. I can download a music video from Limewire and drag it to itunes, but it won't download onto my ipod. I called support and they said I probably need Quicktime 7 pro for which I just paid 30.00 and I still can't download the videos to my ipod. What am I doing wrong?

    you have to convert your videos...
