Can you sync an iPod through the USB on AEBS

i want to know if you can sync an ipod wirelessly from the usb port on an airport extreme base station. i want to be able to sync my ipod, wirelessly from my macbook. If it does, theres £120 on its way to apple..

Well sorry to be blunt again, no you can't.
There are no self-made solutions.
The reasons you can't are relatively simple, the AEBS is acting as a print server and the iPod requires to be connected to a USB port connected to a computer not a print server.
You may want to investigate the Keyspan USB Server.

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • Can you sync an ipod nano 5th gen with more than one computer

    Can you sync an Ipod nano 5th generations with more than one computer.  One is a Dell with xp operating system and the other is an Mac laptop.

    It is possible to sync your iPod with multiple computers, but syncing with different platforms is not supported by Apple.  See this article for more details on how to get this set up.

  • Can you find my ipod with the serial number if it is dead ??

    Can you find an ipod with the serial number if it is offline because it is dead?

    No. It can absolutely not be tracked if off/dead. The serial number cannot be used to track it whether it's on or not.

  • Can you have 2 iPods on the same iTunes?

    Please help...I cannot find any info about this.
    Thank you.

    There are actually a number of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    If you choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" you can create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod (For example if using a Mini or Nano that's around 3700MB for a 4G). You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or of course you could set one or both iPods to "manually manage songs and playlists" and drag whatever you like to them.
    For info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • Can you have two iPods on the same account

    I have a iMac, MB Pro, iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad Mini, iPod 4th all on the same iTunes account. Is that what you mean?

    Sure.  Each iPod is identified in iTunes with its own name and you configure each one as you wish:

    how can i reset my ipod if the lock button is broken?

    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    If you mean place in recovery mode then use on of these

  • Can I charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv

    Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if I can charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv No other way at the moment and running low on battery Thanks

    Yes if the port puts out enough current (about 1.2 amp (500 ma). If less it may not show charging when the screen is on but it will charge, but slowly with the screen off.

  • How do you sync two Ipods to the same MacBook?

    Have a nano already synced to my MacBook. Want to also sync my 5th gen 30GB Ipod to the same MacBook. Have only had my MB for 3 months after 18 years of PC platform (yes I'm drinking the KoolAid baby.) This notebook is fantastic.
    An issue I had with my old PC was that you couldn't sync two Ipods to the same PC unless you held down the shift key while accessing ITunes to select a library - or something like that.
    Please tell me that if I plug my 5th gen into this MacBook it won't overwrite my nano songs/info that are already on this MacBook? Apple has to have done it easier than how I had to do it with the PC. Any help from you experts out there will save me a ton of grief..........Thanks! R.Ty

    Thanks!
    No problem.
    My issue is however that in addition to all of the songs that I have purchased via ITunes, I have about 600 songs from my own CD's on the 5th Gen that if I restore will be gone. Time - yes....money - a little.... It would be great if I could de-authorize the PC it was synced to and now work off my mac....
    In that case, check out these different media recovery options by Zevoneer for copying music from your iPod to your computer.

    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12000345#12000345
    What you need to do is first copy all the music currently on your 5th generation iPod to your new Macbook. Once you have done that, you are free to *Erase and Sync* it upon plugging it in, or restoring it via iTunes as described above.
    And if you are adding purchased music, you will need to authorize your computer if you haven't done so yet. To do this, choose Authorize from the Store drop down menu in iTunes.

  • If I use my iPad to store my iTunes library, can I update my iPod through the iPad?  Or must I keep iTunes on a PC to serve as a hub for updating iPad and iPod?

    Just got an iPad.  My plan was to store my iTunes library on iPad and update iPod through the iPad.  Can I do that, or must i keep the library on a PC to serve as hub for all updating?

  • Can't synchronize my IPod with the USB-Port of my 27 Inch Cinema Display

    I use a 27" Cinema Display with my Windows PC.
    It is connected via USB and Display Port.
    Synchronizing my IPod at the USB Port of the PC works fine.
    Synchronizing my IPod at each of the three USB Ports of the Cinema Display doesn't work.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Stephan

    Sorry if there is any missing information. I'll try to put all requested information:
    The car system is the one that is already installed in my car, I mean it is not something bought externally and installed in my car. The car is a ford S-Max. This car has a complete radio system that includes a USB connection for mp3 players. It works ok but not with the iPod. The IOS installed is the last that has been released, but the iPod was not working with this connection before that update.
