Connecting a large number of ipods to a public download terminal

I'm looking to find the best way to distribute content for video ipods at a public download terminal at a Museum.
Museum visitors should be able to walk into the Museum, see the booth, think "Oh, I've got my iPod with me", dock their iPod and download the content.
1. Is Itunes the only application available for adding content to iPods?
2. Will there be any issues with users copying material from the Museum's iTunes library at the download terminal, to their iPod?
I do not own an iPod personally, but I've been warned that an iPod cannot connect to the library on a second computer without losing all of the content current on the iPod. If this is the case, is there a way round this. Please not that we cannot require that the museum visitors have configured their iPod in any specific way.

1. Yes if you want the files to be viewable.
2. Probably.
You are probably out of luck. To put content onto iPod it will have to be sync or manually transferred. If iPod is set to sync then your content will replace anything currently on it. If set to manual sync it could work but they waould have to have the device already set to manual.
Basically iPods are not set up for what you want to do.

We have 150 iPads at our school. What effective ways have you found to update and download new apps to such a large number of iPads? Can I download different apps to different sub sets of our large group - or must they all have the same apps?

At our elementary school, our 150 iPads are separated into 5 subsets. Can I download different apps to each subset, or must they all have the same apps since they all share the same Apple ID. Some iPads are for grades k-2, and some are for 3-5. I'd like to have the best apps for the different grade levels on the iPads. Currently we have "iPad Carts" to house our iPads in, and could use them to upload and update apps all at once, but don't utilize this function as we have a custom set up for the iPads that is erased each time we update through the carts.

You can configure different set of apps for different groups of ipads.
You need an mdm to do this.

Large number of event Log entries: connection open...

Hi,
I am seeing a large number of entries in the event log of the type:
21:49:17, 11 Mar.

Are these anything I should be concerned about? I have tried a couple of forum and Google searches, but I don't quite know where to start beyond pasting the first bit of the message. I haven't found anything obvious from those searches.
DHCP table lists 192.168.1.78 as the desktop PC on which I'm writing this.
Please could you point me in the direction of any resources that will help me to work out if I should be worried about this?

Hi,
Thank you for the response. I think, but can't remember for sure, that UPnP was already switched off when I captured that log. Anyway, even if it wasn't, it is now. So I will see what gets captured in my logs.
I've just had to restart my Home Hub because of other connection issues and I notice that the first few entries are also odd:

Our application uses direct driver connections. We are thinking about increasing the number of connections in /etc/odbc.ini to a very large number.
(1) Are there any ramifications in increasing this attribute?
(2) I read that each connection takes 1 semaphore. Does TT use all the semaphores when odbc.ini is first read or as needed?

Hi Linda
The 'Connections' attribute will tell TimesTen what the maximum number of connections is expected to be to the data store. TimesTen will then pre-allocate one semaphore for each connection at the time the data store is loaded.
If you exceed this value (e.g. you set Connections to 200 and actualy make 300 concurrent connections) then you wont get an error, also TimesTen wont crash, but connections #201->300 will perform sub-optimally.
So I'd recommend you 1) work out what your maximum number of connections is 2) set the kernel parameters relating to semaphores appropriately (see the section in the install guide relevant to your OS for info on how to do this) 3) set the value in your odbc.ini 4) reload your data store.
Keep in mind that you are allowed ~2000 connections to a data store, and this figure also must include internal connections (like the rep agent, cache agent etc).
If you anticipate make a great number of connections, it is probably better to consider implementing a connection pool. There is documentation on this in the guides, and some examples can be found on how to achieve it in the demo directory.

Suggestion for a future release (Large number of playlists)

It would really be great if you could send a playlist to a connected iPod by right clicking on it. Instead of having to drag it. When you have a large number of playlists and you want to drag one from the bottom it can take 2 or 3 minutes just to get it to your iPod so you can drop it.
And before anyone says it I know that you can use Sync to transfer playlists to your iPod, but when your trawling through your playlists, sometimes auditioning songs so you can decide what you want to listen to on your travels next week, it would be a much nicer user experience to be able to send it to your iPod then and there.

i have a large number of PDFs documents stored on a windows pc that I would like to access on my iPad mini even when not connected to a network. Does anyone know a solution. Eg maybe card reader and a app.

Those devices have mixed results depending on the application. If the application does not support the device, then you are out of luck. There is no file manager in IOS to allow you to move files between folders because there are no folders that you can access. An app has to specifically support a storage location to access files.
It's not that bad. The app has to have the ability to accept data from another app. The latest memory dongles come with an ios app to access the external storage. You then transfer the pdf from dongle's app to your app. If your app can accept data from dropbox, it will be able to accept data from the memory dongle app.

TS1702 how can I remove large number of photos on my iPhone 4s from iTunes using a PC - Lenovo Think Pad - so that I can reduce the space used on the phone by 50%?

how can I remove large number of photos on my iPhone 4s from iTunes using a PC - Lenovo Think Pad - so that I can reduce the space used on the phone by 50%?

You don't need iTunes for that. Simply connect the iPhone to the PC where it will be recognized as a camera. You can then select the photos you wish to transfer, transfer them, and delete them.

A simple way in sending message on a large number of contacts?

Is there a simple way in sending a large number of contacts? I mean, i'll send my message on a group, i.e. "hello" to "classmates" group. I know it is present during ios4 & 5 version? Why now on ios7? How's that? Some of my contacts are changing new numbers so i can't add them to my inbox.

When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account. In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere. Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc. The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up. You restore the data from the backup. (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

Can't connect to iTunes from my iPod Touch or from my Computer!!

Since yesterday, I have been having trouble connecting to the iTunes store from my iPod and computer. I can search for apps and whatever on both devices, but when it comes time to download them, on the iPod it just says "Waiting.." for a while, then it says "cannot connect to the iTunes store"
If I try to download an app from iTunes on the computer(Windows Vista, HP), it'll go to the iTunes store, I can search for things all fine and dandy and when I get an app I want to download and click it and type in my password to download it, it'll say, "Accessing iTunes store..." then it says "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The internet connection has timed out"
My internet connection is perfectly fine, working just great. I've tried everything it suggests on the Apple site, from changing the hosts abd firewall settings. NOTHING IS WORKING!
I'd really appreciate some help. This is very frustrating. Holidays are supposed to be happy times, right? :'(
Thanks in advance for any help!!

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
If you have a 2G iPod those can only go to 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Is there an issue with large libraries on iPod Classic 160 GB?

I got a new iPod Classic a week ago. Have already taken it back and exchanged it once. The issue is that it works fine when I load , say, 20,000 songs onto it, but when I try to sync my whole library of around 31,500 songs it no longer works. All I get after the 'OK to disconnect' message has come up is the Apple logo. Attempting to reset doesn't work; reconnecting to the computer I get the message (some of the time) that iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode.
I can restore the iPod by putting into disk mode, but restoring doesn't solve the problem - it comes back again if I try to sync the full library.
So, I currently have a new iPod Classic with a big hard drive that is supposed to hold up to 40,000 songs according to specifications and what I was told by the expert in the Apple Store, but so far the behaviour of the two iPods has indicated that in reality it can't handle that many.
THis is not the first time I've seen this kind of issue with an iPod. I had exactly the same issue when the first 60 GB iPods came out - software only worked with a smaller number of songs.

I've been able fill up a 160Gb Classic quite happily, although at some point I recall finding my iPod started to crash as I got it filled up. One problem seemed to be that iTunes & Windows would get confused when trying to add a really large number for which this workaround helps during the rebuild.
*Break up large transfers*
In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music or whatever playlist holds the bulk of the content you want on your device. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists etc.
The other problem I found is that sometimes the iPod would crash on exiting or even on entry to an iPod game. After a number of restores I determined that the number and complexity of the playlists I was putting on was the cause of the problem. I believe these are loaded into working RAM, so use too much memory for these and the iPod struggles on any other memory hungry task.

How do I delete large number of email messages?

I get a large number of emails. Is there a way to select them on my iPod Touch 32g in groups rather than one at a time when I delete many messages?

Did you ever find a solution to this?
I, too, would like to DELETE lots of emails at the same time, even ALL of my old emails, without having to use EDIT, then touching each email one at a time, then selecting DELETE. Painfully slow if you have 200+ emails ... this should take 5 seconds, not 10 minutes.

I have an ipod classic 160gb and i also have the dock to connect it to my TV using composite cables. I would rather use component then the composite cables. Does Apple sell a component connection to hook up my ipod to hook up to my TV?

How do I delete large number of duplicates on my Itunes w/o Ctrl+Click

I have a large number of duplicates that were loaded onto my ITunes and I would like to delete them. So far the only way I have found is to go down the list one at a time and Ctrl+Click and then delete. Since Itunes can designate duplicates, is there a function for removing all the duplicates before I synch my ipod???
Windows XP

Itunes can't mass delete duplicates, but one of the forum member has written a script to do it, see:
