Change from Ipod classic to Ipod touch

Hi, I have two Ipods, the classic and the touch. My question is if the same library is useful for both when I sync them or I will have to create another one. thanks

I have 1 library and have 3 ipods including a touch. I create playlists for the touch and only sync those since the capacity of the touch is smaller than the classic. At sync time itunes will give you the option to choose which playlist to sync to the touch.

What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

Hello laurie0823,
already have ipod 32 gig and just go ipod touch 8 gig can i use both on same itunes account?
Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or library.
if i hook up ipod touch will i lose all of the stuff in library or can i sync library to ipod touch?
No you can sync your content to any number of devices.
Simply, plug new iPod in, configure it to sync with iTunes library however you wish and be on your way.
For more help on different ways to manage multiple ipods with one computer, see this Apple support document.

How do I transfer music from ipod classic to ipod touch?

I have an old 30GB iPod Classic with a lot of music on it. I just inherited my son's iPod Touch. Is there a way to transfer my music files (about 1100 songs) from the old one to the new one. Some of the songs were downloaded from the iTunes Store, others were made from my own CD's.
Also, my son and I each have our own iTunes accounts. Can I safely switch the newer iPod Touch from his account to mine?
Tim

Since no one is responding to my question, I will post some ideas I have gotten from browsing other peoples' questions.
It seems that the first thing I should do is follow instructions to move all of my son's iTunes Store purchased content from the iPod Touch to his iTunes account on his Macbook Pro. Then he should be able to sync it to his new iPhone 5 or not, depending on whatever he wants to do with it. But at least, it would not be lost.
I have already copied the purchased content from my old iPod Classic to my iTunes account on his Macbook Pro. However, I would still need to obtain some third party software to copy my non-purchased content from the Classic to my account on the Macbook Pro.
Then, the next step might be to change the iTunes account on the Touch from his to mine. Is this a safe operation?
Then, I should be able to sync the Touch to my iTunes account on his Macbook Pro, thus getting all of my content onto the Touch.
Does the above sound like a reasonable course of action? Would any additional steps be advisable? Thank you very much for any advice you could provide.

Changing iPod Classic for iPod Touch

Hello,
My dad went to USA a little while ago, and while being there I asked him to bring a iPod touch for me. He sayed he would, but when he arrived in Holland he didn't brought the Ipod Touch but the iPod Classic.. He sayed he will look how to change it, but he still didn't find a way to do that.
Now I searched a little bit too but I didn't find any e-mailaddresses to mail to or something. So I'll ask it here:
Does anybody knows if it is possible to change a Ipod bought in San Fransisco (America) in Holland (Europe)? And if it is, who/what do I have to contact? If it isn't, what do you recommand me to do?
Thanks in advance,
Luc

Does anybody knows if it is possible to change a Ipod bought in San Fransisco (America) in Holland (Europe)?
Sorry but no, it will almost certainly not be possible to return a US-purchased iPod in Europe. The iPod would in all probability have to be returned to the US Apple Store (presuming that it was purchased at the Apple Store), and by the time you paid for shipping and the probable restocking fee - 10% if the package was opened - and the iPod would have to arrive back at the Apple Store returns center within 14 calendar days from the date it was purchased - you'd probably be better off just selling the Classic and putting the money toward an iPod touch.
Regards.

How can I copy playlists from ipod classic to ipod touch?

I have playslists in a classic ipod...I want to copy them to a new 5th generation touch...how can I do that? I have tried to copy and paste playlists from the classic into itunes but it will not allow it. Playlists only appear in itunes when the classic is plugged in.

Sync them via iTunes.
There is no way to move anything directly from one iDevice to another.

Updating from iPod Classic to iPod Touch

I currently have an iPod Classic and am syncing it on a PC. Yesterday I purchased an iPod Touch and would like to sync it on my Mac Book instead of the PC. How do I transfer my library from my Classic on the PC to my iTouch on the Mac? If I back-up my entire library, I'm looking at burning up 10 CD's...there has to be an easier way.
Thanks for your help.

You can use the Classic as an external hard drive. Enable disk use, delete its music files under Windows Explorer (be sure to enable viewing of hidden files and folders or else you won't see any music files), and then think of the Classic as just a big portable hard disk. Put all your music and video files onto it. Carry it to the Mac, plug it in, and upload all the files to the Mac.
Now you can disable disk use on the Classic and resync it to the iTunes library on the PC, returning everything to the way it was.

Operating system Ipod classic to Ipod video

Do you know if it will be a update for Ipod Video 30-60-80 GB?
Because the new system and cover flow for Ipod Classic are so beautiful.
Sorry for my English
Thanks
Ha, what is the music in the publicity for the Ipod Touch in the Keynote?
I love them ( Keynote, 47:05 )

I don't think they will update it. Neither for the nano(ha! obviously).
If the classic was a complete update to the 5.5G video, they would've made updates available, like what they did with the early version of the video(w/o the search featurette).
But no, the classic has new thinner hard drives and different interface so I doubt they will release an update.

IPod classic and iPod nano - two mediathek possible?

We had first an iPod nano, now we also have iPod classic. A iPod nano is too small for the hole mediathek of iPod classic - how can I make differences for the automatic "synchronizing"? For iPod classic I want to use the old mediathek too. And additional, how can I transfer mediathek to another place (path)?

I don't know if these work yet on the 120GB, but they do on my 80.
WinAmp and Media Monkey. If you can feel comfortable enough to move away from iTunes, try either of those. I recommend Media Monkey because it will scan your whole iTunes library and let you manually manage the files. Even if you have music not in the iTunes library, you can still add that to the iPod because MM will scan whatever folders you tell it to and add them to it's own library files, so you can then sync your iPod with music from any folder. Just be sure to check "force iTunes folder style" under player options, so the music shows and plays on your iPod correctly. I didn't use enough of WinAmp with my iPod to recommend it(I only use it for it's great LAME MP3 encoder), but it does have iPod plug-ins to sync your iPod and should scan your music files also.
HOWEVER, you may still need to install iTunes 8 in case you need to restore the iPod. I always keep iTunes installed just in case.

No matter what I do I cannot restore ipod classic. Ipod is corrupt with unknown error 1439.cannot restore the ipod Have tried all options but . can anyone help?

I recently bought a second-hand ipod classic. When connecting to itunes the message reads that the ipod is corrupt and needs to be restored to factory settings. However, this does not solve the issue and I get the message saying unable to restore, unknown error 1439. No matter what i have tried through apple support i get the same result. My computer runs Windows XP but I have also tried on my laptop which operates Vista and still no joy. Anyone able to solve this one?

Normally unknown error is due to timeout, cause by
connected to slow USB port at the front of the PC, or using USB Hubs - Better connect to the USB HUb at the back of the PC. (Some Laptop, has only one High Power -USB2.0 port
USB resource low, due to sharing of other USB devices - Disconnect all other USB devices when Restoring.
Winsocks conflict with iTunes - Disconnect Internet and Stop firewall and Antivirus, emails apps.

This wont solve your problem. but is very helpful in troubleshooting.
It would also help, if you can state
Which version of iTunes are your running?
What is your iPod software version as shown in the iTunes summary page?
Have a nice day!

Can i have an ipod classic and ipod shuffle linked to one library

I recently tried to charge and sync my ipod shuffle and it kept crashing....it then told me to restore it. Which i did..however, i then get the message below.
I do not have a disc, and have no idea what the below means.
many thanks for your help!
F:\refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a net work. check to make sure that the disc is properly
inserted or that you are connected to the internet or your network, then try it again.If it still cant be located the information might have been moved to
a different location.

To the question in your title, yes you can have as many iDevices as you wish, but you can only connect one to the computer at a time. The easiest way to manage them is probably to give each device it's own core playlist oof content although you can add easily add more than one playlist to each device as long as the sum total of the data fits within the capacity of the device.
I'm not sure about your error message. This sometimes comes up during installation activies when drives have been moved around. Alternatively Windows might be complaining because iTunes effectively removes the iPod from the list of drives during formatting. Can you get the restore to complete or does it do the same thing again?
