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,
LucDoes 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.

Is there a way to transfer songs from Sony 16GB MP3 player to an iPod Classic? Tried dragging the songs to iTunes but it only accepted 1400 of the songs, MP3 was full. I also had compiled the songs in a specific order and iTunes changed the order.
The songs from the Sony MP3 player need to be imported into your iTunes library first before they can be synced or added to your iPod Classic.
Regarding the songs that didn't import into iTunes, what format are they in and what seems to be different from them compared with the tracks that did import?

I haven't been able to synch for a very long time. I'm finally tired enough of the same music constantly on my ipod that I'm trying again to find some help. I'm computer literate, but not a tech person by any stretch.
According to itunes, I'm not due for a software upgrade until later this month and yet it seems also to reject my request to check for software upgrades. Which seems like there isn't a connection. The fact that it says I'm not due yet makes me think it does happen.
One thing I've gotten lately is the message "itunes isn't my default" and when I go to make it and check everything for itunes and nothing for windows media, nothing changes and I get the message again. This morning I checked "All" and will see if that makes a difference.
I was unable to connect to itunes store until this week. For some reason it worked and I was able to download a movie.
Apple says I have no coverage for help from them -- of course.
Anyone?Sorted it out. If anyone has this problem i reccommend visiting http://forums.ilounge.com/ipod-classic-ipod-5g-video/237546-ipod-classic-80gb-fr eezes-itunes-need-restore-plz-help-2.html#post1403546 there's some pretty good advice on it. have to go into control panel and re-format iPod into NTFS file. good luck.

Possible to change the DAC in iPod Classic?
I have a 160GB iPod Classic filled with around 300 cds in lossless format. The size of the hard drive and ipod interface are great but the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired. I use Sure SE530 and Etymotic ER4P earphones, which sound amazing through the headphone amp in my regular Hi-Fi so I know it's not them. I have read that the Cirrus DAC is very likely the weakest link in this generation. Is there any way to change it out with a higher quality DAC Chip?
Apple could pretty much own the digital audio segment if they made a commitment to audio quality. If they were to make lossless files available on itunes, and built high quality dacs into their ipod and computers, they would put the CD player, transport and music distributors industries out of business. Until they find religion, we will have to fend for ourselves. Your question is really important, for if you are going to the trouble and expense (hard drive capacity use) of storing lossless files, you are also interested in the quality of the sound that comes out of your machine. Well, the solution is difficult. Most commercially available ipod docks are not line level and fewer still are digital out. If you can adjust the volume on your ipod after it is docked, then you are basically listening to the output that you would hear from your headphone jack. The reason the headphone jack sounds so bad is that is uses the internal dac of the ipod, and due to the limitations of headphones and earbuds, the headphone out bass is also attenuated. Therefore, it is important to find a dock that will use the digital source prior to the dac from your ipod. There are a few out there. Wadia makes a very expensive truely digital dock, and then you have to hook it up to your own dac with its digital out. Also, Red Wine Audio will mod a 3rd generation Ipod and upgrade the dac. Unfortunately, these solutions are so clumsy and expensive that you're better off using a Macbook or MacMini, with lossless files, and a USB dac to your audio system rcas. Someone needs to invent a compact digital dock with an integrated dac to make the ipod practical as an audiophile source. Their material doesn't get specific, so I can't figure out if the SRS iWow for the ipod is a dac, or an equilazer, but I suspect it does not bypass the ipod's dac. I'll have to call them in order to pin them down. If it simply acts as a preset equalizer, it is not much of a product. It will not add detail back to the music, nor will it be able to process the digital data in a refined manner, when compared to a quality external dac. In the meanwhile, any mac or pc can be converted into a digital source better than cd players selling for many thousands of dollars. I have one mac mini hooked up to a tube dac (and to tube monoblock amps), and another mini hooked up to an external dac and a tube buffer (and to a single ended tube amp). My next project is to figure out how to wirelessly stream my music files from my main mini, to the other one or my macbook, and to use mac tv to backup my main computers' files. I was told tonight that I can change the settings on my Airpot Extreme to do this, and I can add the mac tv later to back everything up. Other than that, all you can do is pray that Mac introduces an ipod for audiophiles. Then you can just put docks by each computer you use, wherever it is in the world, and have a first class digital source. I use dac and a USB chord with each of the other systems in my house and just plug the macbook into whichever system I want to listen to at a given time. Good luck.

I now have around 3,000 songs on my ipod Classic and still adding. I didn't want to save them in itunes library so I deleted them from there once I had them on the ipod. I have since found out that the ipod music cannot be transferred back to the itunes library nor can I extract them from the ipod directly. Do apple provide such facilities or softwareto do this and, if not, is there any recommended and safe software to perform it? I see from Google that there are plenty of programs available but I want to be sure that what I use is safe, reliable and not breaking any of Apple's terms and conditions. Any advice would be welcome.
Hello Chris Jones,
I just found this and I'm trying to figure it out so your post is an excellent starting point, thank you! Since you posted this in Feb are there any things you would change or you found out after doing it? And how is everything running?
As a data point, I just added a SSD as the startup drive to an older mac pro (1,1) which is only used for Logic Pro and the speed now is amazing. Now I want to see if I can off-load the same things you have dealt with. Any additional insight will be greatly appreciated and thanks again for taking to time to document it.

Hi everyone. I just bought an ipod classic 120 Gb.I just wanna know if its possible to put on themes and change the look of the interface.On the web i came across a software named ipodwizard but then i read,too, that if i use this software my guarantee will be stopped immediately.Is it true or not that's the question! Need some information...thanking you in advance
There's no official way of changing the iPod interface, Apple only provide the one "theme". If you add any unofficial software or hack the iPod firmware in any way you will void your warranty.

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?
If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu. -
How can I change the song's order on my iPod Classic?
I mean, now songs are stored by alphabetic order or number (in Album). I would like change this order, for ex. by stars, like in iTunes.
I have an 6.5 generation iPod Classic, with my previous iPod 5.5 if i changed the order in iTunes also in my iPod songs were displayed in that order.
Is there any funcion to do that?Yuo can create a playlist with your desired sort order, right-click on the playlist name and click Copy to Play Order, then sync it to the device. You can play that list in your order, but everywhere else the tracks will play in track number order or alphabetical order depending upon which menu path you used to choose them.

Most of the songs on my iPod Classic no longer show up on iTunes on my laptop. I deleted iTunes & installed the latest version but this did not change anything. For example on 1 playlist I have 66 songs but only 1 shows on the iTunes screen. Thanks you for any help.

When I sync my iPod Classic, the changes I made (Ratings, Last Listened) do not show up on my computer.
Try another Sync. On occasions, I've know a first Sync to behave like this.

I'm running OS 10.6.8 on my 3.06 GHz iMac Intel Core 2 Duo. I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2. I'm not sure when the trouble started but I attempted a restore when the iPod would not play correctly. It would start to play a file and get stuck on 0 seconds. If I put the iPod on shufle, it will stall on 0 seconds for 15 seconds or so and then move on to the next track and stall again and so on. Seemingly randomly, it will play a few tracks but eventually start skipping again. This will continue until the battery is depleted which is fairly quick since the drive is constantly spinning.
My 160GB iPod Classic after restore attempts now is up to date with 2.0.4. and of course, nothing works as it should and I would say the skipping issue is worse than ever.
When I connect with any of three USB connectors, the iPod mounts to the desktop as a grey/silver disk drive picon exactly like the Macintosh HD picon. Then Finder will stall for a few minutes- spinning pinwheel. Somehow, the dock is never affected and I am able to open other applications like Safari or tab through open windows- just no action on the desktop. Eventually, iTunes automatically opens and Finder becomes responsive again. At this point the grey drive picon on the desktop becomes a white drive mount picon, but the iPod does not mount in iTunes, yet. At some point, the iPod attempts to sync, iTunes crashes with the spinning pinwheel and eventually times out and I am prompted to restore the iPod again. Once restored, the iPod properly mounts under devices in iTunes and, as I have done this several times, even occasionally changes to the regular iPod picon on the desktop.
I have restored several times going as far a completely deleting iTunes from my iMac, downloading the latest directly from Apple.com, and attempting to restore again, but to no avail.
I have even used the disk utility to verify and/or repair my Macintosh HD and iPod.
It seems lots of folks are going through this ordeal. Has anyone had any success in fixing the issue, even if only temporarily?one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.

I am currently running 4 ipod classics through my own account/profile on itunes. They belong to me, my husband and 2 kids.
The kids are getting older now and have their own laptops. I would like them to have their own itunes accounts as they will be away from home much of the time and will want to make their own puchases.
How can I set them up so that they are independent from my account, but not lose the content that I have downloaded for them over the years? (A lot of content).You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that. Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card. Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account.
Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud. Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account. To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate. -
I have a iPad were I have opened I tunes match ect linked to my pc I have since found my old ipod classic which I have loads of music on but that was all linked to a mac which I don't have anymore, is there anyway I can sync them both without loosing my music, if I plug my ipod into PC it won't read it
You need to transfer the music from your iPod on to your iTunes library on your PC, since that is where you are currently syncing and where you are signed into iTunes Match. It doesn't matter that you were previously syncing it with a Mac, and you won't need to reinstall iTunes on your PC. But you will have to use 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer any music not purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library. Here's another guide on this, which is shoter and you may find easier to follow: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive. Also, if you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar. This will make it easier to follow along with these guides.

Why has the transition changed for the Classic theme
Some years ago I asked how to have no transitions on a slideshow and I was told to use the Classic theme. This had Transition: None. I used this to convert many 4:3 photos to 16:9 HD for display on TV, one by one.
Now, when doing the same, the last second had the Dissolve feature even though it had Transition: None! Some how it has now changed to Transition: Dissolve and I can't find a way to change it back.
I'm using iPhoto 11 v 9.2.3, created 25/8/10 6.06am, modified 3/4/12 1.18am, on OS X 10.6.8.
My earliest backup (Time Machine) was 14/9/12 & has exactly the same iPhoto details. The modified date (3/4/12) was when I downloaded the 9.2.3 version. One photo previously modified is dated 27/11/12. Some how the transition changed since I used it even though iPhoto wasn't changed since a date 7 months earlier? I've reverted back to the 14/9/12 backup and it shows Transition: Dissolve even though that version was used for the photo and had None at the time!!!
I've tried modifying/deleting various iPhoto Plist files; iPhoto just modifies/re-creats them. I've even re-installed iPhoto from the original iLife disc onto the 14/9/12 system, but when I tried to use it it told me I have to get an upgrade. Upgraded to v 9.1 and upon opening it said it couldn't use the current photo storage space because it's a newer version (something like that) and asked if I wanted to Cancel or Create a new one and only gave Cancel as an option! Updating again creates v 9.2.3 (date: Today) and it has Transition: Dissolve.
I now believe there must be a file somewhere that contains this setting but, where and why wasn't it reset after restoring from backup?
Any help would be much appreciated.I cannot check with your version any longer. But where have you checked the "Transition" setting?
Check in both places for the slideshow settings - the "All Slides" tab, and the "this Slide"tab for individual slides.
(This screenshot is from version 9.6 -sorry)
The properties of your slideshows will be stored in the iPhoto library. Have you run the First aid Tools to repair the permissions and the library?
Do the following:
To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys ⌥⌘ while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
Keep the keys held down firmly until the First Aid panel appears.
Then select "Repair database" from the First Aid pane.
The may take a while for a large library.
Repeat with "Repair Permissions".
