Connecting My Nano To My Friend's Computer

I am going to think about getting some of my friend's music to my iPod by connecting my Nano to his computer. We would manually manage our songs. I have some worries about this. Do I have to install my iPod software on his computer, so it will detect my iPod? Will it detect my iPod as his? Also, he has iPod updater 1.0, and I have 1.1. Will I get 1.0 by connecting it to his computer?

I have some worries about this.
Your biggest worry should have to do with the fact that what you want to do is basically illegal.
Please don't steal music.

  • How to connect multiple nanos and minis to one computer and share content

    I have 3 iPod nano's and 1 iPod mini in my house and would like to make a central repository of music on one computer that can be shared across nanos where users can select all or some of the available tunes. How can I do this?

    You could use the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" would allow you to 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 iPods. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

    To select the update option.
    iTunes 6
    Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list go to Edit>iTunes>Music Tab (iTunes>Preferences>Music tab on a Mac).
    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.

    Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list click on it to show the preference tabs in the main pane. Choose the following option and click "Apply".

  • Connecting ipod nano after you "restore" your computer

    I had to do a restoration on my computer after I was hit with some virus. Unfortunately I forgot to externally save my music files. Therefore, after the restoration on my computer was complete, all my music files were erased. My questions is this…..If I were to now connect my ipod nano to my computer, would it erased all the files I have on my ipod nano since they were erased on the computer during the restoration? What are my options? Any and all help is appreciated.

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

  • I am about to upgrade my ipod. i want to give my old ipod nano to a friend. what do i need to do so they can use it on their computer?

    i am about to upgrade my ipod and want to give my old ipod nano to a friend. what do i need to do so thay can use it on their computer and create their own itunes account?

    Connect it to iTunes, select the Nano in the "devices" column and click "Restore". The warning window you get will ask you if this is what you really want to do.
    Your very lucky friend will essentially have it in the same condition as if she bought it new.
    One more thing: if you registered it in My Support Profile, make sure to un-register it. Only you can do that. Have your friend register it under her own Apple ID.

    In addition, when I connect my nano, my computer does recognize but the library and playlists in my Itunes is not the same as the library/playlists on my ipod (on this ipod). If I purchase new songs from itunes, they go to the library on the computer but I cant get them to the ipod playlist.

  • When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

    Its not a  port issue.
    XP requires a registry edit to connect to Server 2008 & Windows 7 computers. Windows XP does not by default accept and create NLA connection which is what  Win 7 requires.
    By default, Network Level Authentication (NLA) is disabled in Windows XP Service Pack 3. To enable NLA, you have to turn on the Credential Security Service Provider (CredSSP).
    The link will give you instructions step by step to set up NLA.

  • Nano not quite friends with iTunes

    Everytime I connect my iPod or a friends iPod (both nanos) to my computer after iTunes recognizes the device it ejects it. Ive changed the USB port i use (for reference I use an eMac 1.25 Ghz).
    If I change the permissions for iTunes by making the owner me and not the system and then selecting the permissions as "no access" my iPod will stay mounted to my computer.
    I've reinstalled iTunes and that didn't work. Ive done a whole system restore on my mac and that also didnt work. Any ideas? I thought maybe it was a song on my iPod that i downloaded in a shifty and shady way (limewire...aqlite...the such. listen I'd love to use the iTunes store for all my music needs but there are some songs and artists iTunes doesnt have) but i quickly threw away the theory of that because my friend doesnt have any of the same songs as me. Very different taste in music. SO what are your thoughts?
    Any help or insight would be useful, Thanks
    eMac 1.25 GHz, 512 RAM, Superdrive   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    OK this works for Windows, and I'm not sure about mac (I don't have access to my mac to experiment right now). When you connect the iPod, if you press and hold ctrl+shift, it will keep iTunes from recognizing the iPod and opening. Try ctrl+shift, opt+shift, and apple+shift to see if it works on the mac. It might be a Windows-specific command to stop any autoplay though, so there may be no or a completely different mac equivalent.

  • My ipod shuffle is connected to another library that is no longer in use. How can I connect it to my library on my computer without erasing all the songs it presently has?

    My son downloaded songs onto my ipod shuffle from his friend's computer but I have no access to that computer. When I try to connect to my library from my computer I get a message saying that in order to sync w/my library I have to erase all content. Is there any other way to connect this shuffle w/out erasing all these songs?

  • I have a Iphone and I want to downloa a game but it's over 50MG or MB so it says you must connect to wifi or download from a computer so I downloaded it from the computer and the computer says the downloads done but the app bar is empty and says waiting..

    I have a Iphone and I want to downloa a game but it's over 50MB so it says you must connect to wifi or download from a computer so I downloaded it from the computer and the computer says the downloads done but the app bar is empty and says "waiting.."

    Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
    Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
    To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

  • TC: The Internet connection is currently in use by another computer...

    So, I have a TC connected to a Netopia ADSL modem from Earthlink. Ocassionally, when the computer has left the wireless network, I will come home to find the following page with the Earthlink logo at the top:
    “The Internet connection is currently in use by another computer
    ( 172.16.1.10 ).
    Enter your DSL Account logon password to switch the Internet
    connection to this computer.”
    If I enter the password and click "Obtain Connection", I am taken to another page that says that I can now access the Internet, blah blah blah... and another button that says "Release Connection".
    First of all, it does not seem like that should be happnening, but no big deal as it takes 5 seconds out of my day to work around. The bigger problem is that only one computer can be connected to the Internet at a time. If a friend with another laptop comes over and tries to access the Internet at the same time as me, he will get the same Earthlink page popping up. If he enters the password, he will kick off the first computer and on and on and on...
    I called Elink support and they, of course, told me it is a TC issue. I called Apple and they, of course, told me it is an ISP issue. I suspect that it has something to do with my TC settings (bridge mode, maybe?), but have no idea what I am doing there.
    Anyone have any ideas for me? I have friends coming into town this weekend and we won't be able to share stupid YouTube clips as efficiently with only one computer!

    There is nothing you can do.. if you want more than one device connected then you must double NAT. This is common practice with Satellite providers.. I am not sure why they cannot afford to buy a block of public IP.. maybe it is deliberate to prevent people using servers.
    Just select ignore in the airport utility.. for the double NAT problem.. this is the equivalent to sticking your head in the ground and therefore your problems don't exist. (your opponents cannot see you if you have a bird brain!!) Of course when the opportunity comes up.. move. Go to fibre or 3g/4g with a reliable ISP who hands out public IP. Until then tighten your belt.. short commons are the order of the day.
