Can the iPod menu be turned on?

Can the menu that appears when an iPod is connected be turned on, without the iPod connected?
I would love to be able to set up my sync stuff before the iPod is connected.
Thx,
Scott

I don't think the iPod menu can be turned on with the iPod connected, but I did get a little bit of that desired functionality with the method below. Specifically, if there are songs I want to put on my iPod, then this method allows me to designate those songs to go onto my iPod at the next sync... It's something, but clearly not everything, because new playlists or new podcasts can't be set to automatically sync.
First, this only works if you are using the iPod in "semi-automatic" sync mode, where only certain playlists are synchronized. What I did was create a a specific playlist for each iPod - I have a 60 gig and a 4 gig nano. Then, I set up each ipod to sync with its corresponding playlist. So when I rip a new CD, I can immediately drop all those new songs onto one (or both) playlist, and then at the next sync, those songs will go onto that iPod.
Like I said, it's only a partial solution. If I create a whole new playlist, I can't designate that sync with a given iPod until that iPod is connected.
Maybe this sort-of partly helps?

  • My problem is that the iPod does not turn on. Everytime I attempt to turn it on it shows the Apple logo then a small icon showing a sad face with a warning sign.

    IS MY IPOD DEAD?!?!?!?!?
    I think I have the previous iPod Classic with a black glossy front and I am pretty sure it is glass at the front. My problem is that the
    iPod does not turn on. Every time I attempt to turn it on it shows the Apple logo then a small icon showing a sad face with a
    warning sign along with the Apple support website. At the same time I can hear the internal mechanics which is also very loud. I have attempted
    to charge it as well as connecting it to itunes but no success. Could you please 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 another cable                     
    - 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.

  • Can the ipod battery be damaged by freezing temperatures?

    can the ipod battery be damaged by freezing temperatures?

    From the "Tips and tricks to get the most out of your iPod's battery" article found at...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61434
    It says...
    Keep iPod at room temperature
    iPod's battery works best when iPod is at room temperature, generally near 20° C, but you can use iPod anywhere between 0° to 35° C (about 32° to 95° F). If you have left iPod in the cold, let it warm up to room temperature before waking it from sleep. Otherwise, a low-battery icon may appear and iPod will not wake from sleep. If after warming up, iPod does not wake from sleep, connect the power adapter, and press the Menu and Play/Pause buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    which doesn't really address what happens if you freeze the iPod when not being used, but clearly you shouldn't run the iPod when it is at freezing temperature.

  • How many decibels can the iPod Shuffle (4th generation) go up to?

    Hi! How many decibels can the iPod Shuffle (4th generation) go up to?

    Hi pce55,
    If you have questions about iPods and sound or decibel output, you may find the following pages helpful:
    Apple - Sound and Hearing
    Q. How can I set the Volume Limit on my iPod to a specific decibel level?
    A. The Volume Limit setting lets you change the maximum output of your iPod’s headphone jack. The actual sound pressure level that you experience depends on several factors: the music you’re listening to, how it was recorded and encoded, the type of earbuds or headphones you use, and their placement in your ears.

  • What ios system can the IPod touch 4th gen. update to

    What ios system can the iPod touch 4th gen. update to?

    I wouldn't buy a second-gen iPod touch at any price now, and particularly not for only $50 less than a fourth-gen model. There are far too many apps that require a version of iOS newer than what a second-gen iPod can run. Up to you, though.
    Regards.

  • Can the Ipod 4th and 5th generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Can the Ipod 4th and 5th Generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Mini-education...
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

  • Can the iPod Touch play radio stations?

    Can the iPod Touch play radio stations? I have an older iPod and I use the Apple product (below) to listen to radio stations on it. I'm thinking of getting an iPod Touch and was wondering if there's any similar products that I can use for the iPod Touch, or even if there's app that would allow me to play radio stations. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA070G/D?fnode=MTY1NDA3NA&mco=MTU1NTExMA

    as already said, most (if not all) of the radio station apps require wifi access, which is fine if you just want to listen where you have wifi access (i.e. at home) but not so good if you want to listen out and about.
    i recently bought one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-Robi-DAB-iPod-adapter/dp/B000X24UOM
    which is brilliant, but i see you're in america, and i dont think you have DAB (digital) Radio over there. there may well be similar products out there though.

    At this time it cannot. Perhaps you can provide feedback to Apple on this.

  • Can the iPod (5th Gen) be used as an external hard drive? (w/ no syncing)

    Dear Forum:
    Can the Ipod (5th Gen) be used as an external hard drive where I can manually (without syncing) transfer photos to the drive? My goal is to be able to transfer images from my MacBook (OS 10.4.11) to the Ipod and then erase some of the pics on my MacBook to save space; this will be something I'd doing when I'm traveling--I don't want to be carrying my desktop external hard drive with me.
    Naturally I don't want to sync the photos onto the Ipod because I'll be erasing photos to save space. By the way, I use Aperture 2 (with latest firmware) if it helps to know.
    Ideally, is there a way I can "see" the Ipod as an external hard drive, so I can move files onto it?
    Thanks,
    Steve
