Can't move video and pix files back to iPod Touch from desktop computer
I moved (via drag-and-drop in Windows) video and picture files from an iPod Touch (iOS 5.1.1) to a Windows 7 desktop computer. I want to copy some of them back, but it won't let me drag-and-drop to copy them back to the iPod. How do I get the files back on the iPod? I know that the "disk mode" is not available on the Touch. Also, although the iPod shows up in iTunes on my desktop computer, these video and picture files (Quick Time Movies, JPEGs, etc.) don't show up there. So, I'm out of ideas. A related question: how do I scan the iPod using my Windows 7 desktop computer's anti-virus application (McAfee)? Normally, when I right-click on a device on the desktop computer, it offers me the ability to scan it for viruses. Not only does it not give me this option for the iPod; the iPod doesn't even show up as a hard drive; it shows up in the window as a separate "flavor" of drive. Is there a way to make Windows 7 think that the iPod Touch is just another USB-connected drive; i.e., is there a way to mimic the disk mode option that is available on other models of the iPod other than the Touch?
- There is no way to scan the iPod for virus via a computer program. I know of no way to scan an iPod.
- To sync photos to the iPod see:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
- To sync videos to the iPod see:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

RESTORING: At the moment I am downloading a movie on the itunes store my 8GB ipod touch (not my computer) (which I have already paid for) and I need to restore my ipod. Will restoring it stop/delete my downloading movie? what else does it delete?
Try DFU mode and then restore

When you restore via iTunes iTunes will download the firmware(ipsw) file. It could be that the microwave damaged the iPod and iTunes does not know what it is. -
How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough. In other words, I want to replace the information in my computer Outlook contact list with the data from my iPod touch.
How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

I have my entire music library (purchased and burnt CD's) on my iPod Touch from one computer and I wanted to sync it all to my new computer. I was hoping it would all transfer via sync when I plugged it in but it doesn't seem to work. Please help?!
Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again. -
How can i move video and music and narration all at once in the project library
how can i move video, narration and music all at once in the project library it is only moving the video
Select the directory with your pngs in it.
Right-click>Browse with Adobe Bridge
Select your pngs
Tools>Photoshop>Load to photoshop layers (not sure how many layers this can handle--you may wind up having to do this in batches)
Save your new psd
In Flash, create a new symbol with a blank timeline
Ctrl-R, navigate to the psd you made earlier
Select all the Photoshop layers
Check "create MovieClips for these layers."
Convert layers to keyframes or flash layers (not important, since you probaby don't need to keep this symbol)
OK
You'll have Movie Clips, not Graphic Symbols, but maybe you can write or find a JSFL to convert them and then you can block select them, click the Properties button, and change the type from MovieClip to Graphc. -
Storing and viewing powerpoint and pdf files on my ipod touch?
Dear All,
Do any experts out there know how I can easily store and view ppt & pdf files on my ipod touch 8GB?
I only need to view them.
I have read else where that you can copy them in to safari bookmark, but this can destabilise safari(?).
Is there a simple way I can just drag, drop and view?
Any free apps available especially for this purpose?
Thank you very much for your time and help.

not that i know of. but i think _*Documents To Go*_ will be worth the expenditure.

I Can't Play .MP4 and .mkv Files Backed up in Time Machine
I backed up My Macbook to an external hard drive in my passport / Time Machine. I am attempting to play both .mp4 and mkv files in quicktime and vlc respectively. They worked when they were on my computer, but I they won't open now. I even tried to copy them to my computer and play them that way. When I click on info, it shows the file size, and it seems normal. I updated both Quicktime and vlc, and it still doesn't work. Please help.
You wrote in your first post:

Then you wrote:
when it restored it, the file size was zero

I just purchased a new desktop PC and want to move Itunes and all my Ipad Apps to new computer, and delete off my old computer. What is the best way to do this?

I had apps from 2 different apple ids on my son's ipod touch. When I synched it to my computer, it backed the apps from other id onto my computer and deleted them from the ipod. How do I find the apps and how do I put them back on the ipod touch?
Apps can be re-downloaded, and you won't be charged again for a purchsased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. Apps cannot be transferred to or combined with another iTunes account.

Can someone please help me? I can't believe they charge you to ask them a question this has to be the worst customer service by any company I've ever seen.
Alternatively - you could ask the question in these discussion pages - for free!
Now there's a thought. Apple actually provide free access to free information from other people who use iPods. Wow!
So to your problem. Which generation of iPod Touch do you have and where and how did you get iOS 5? Use this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for help in identifying your model. You need to do this (and then tell us) because older versions of Touch cannot install iOS 5 and the fact that you have iOS 3.1.3 on your iPod is cause enough to ask which model you have.
1st gen Touch can install up to iOS 3.1.3
2nd gen Touch can install up to iOS 4.2.1 -
Changed computers and needing to sync my iPod Touch to new computer
My iPod Touch was used on my old iMac and now I am connecting it to my new iMac. I want to move my current songs from my iPod to my new iMac but I can't figure out how to do it.
Why not use Migration assistant to move the entire itunes over so you will be syncing as normal from the new computer?
-
Can any of you lovely people suggest anything?
Even though it doesn't boot correctly, iTunes picks it up when I connect it to my iMac and tells me it is up to date.
Doing my head in !!!!
HELP !!!!Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The only "credit" from Apple for used iPods is the Recycling Program, which gives you 10% off the purchase of a new iPod (at an Apple Store).
There are third-party businesses, such as Gazelle.com. that pays for used iPods.
Apple offers "certified" refurbs, with full warranty, at a reduced price
