Connection I Pod Classic to I Mac

I have just transferred my library from a PC to my new I Mac & re-set my IPOD classic to Mac setting. The IPOD works fine in automatic sync mode. However, when set to manual management the IPOD contents do not show up in the main window although all of the playlists appear in the sidebar. The main window gives the ipod details but under "music" merely shows a list of playlists. This is not a major disaster, but I have a joint library with my girlfriend and want to remove her music from my IPOD whilst leaving it in the library, and I can't do this without the song listing. If I try & delete in the playlist "most recently added" I cannot access "delete" The listing worked previously on the PC so it is not a fault with the IPOD. Any suggestions gratefully received ?

If my IPOD is reformatted to MAC & all my music is stored on a PC, how will I then be able to transfer it over ? Surely the IPOD will only load from the PC if it is PC formatted ?
If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 or MacDrive (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod which it cannot do without.
You can however use a Windows formatted iPod on a Mac without any such software (because Macs are smart like that).

    *I have recently purchased a mac book and wish to connect my i pod to this computor but because of windows format it wished to delete the library when sync,*
    It's not giving that message because it's Windows formatted (Macs can read Windows formatted iPods). You are getting the message because an iPod can only sync with one library at a time (Sync is just short for syncronise). When your iPod is is set to sync with iTunes it automatically picks up any changes you made in iTunes since you last connected. Anything you added to iTunes will be added to the iPod, anything you deleted from it will be deleted from the iPod. In other words the iTunes playlist and the iPod are kept "in sync". You are trying to sync to a new (possibly empty) iTunes library.
    If you simply want to continue using the iPod without syncing (and losing the contents) then change it to manual management. When you connect and get the 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".
    When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone

  • Connecting i-pod classic to windows xp

    I am trying to connect my new i-pod classic to the computer. I have i-tunes downloaded etc. However, even though I am the "administrator" I cannot get past the softwear license agreement. Can anyone help?

    Are you seeing a Continue button anywhere? Click the little Agree box then the Continue button (there's no need to save the agreement). If you aren't seeing all the buttons try increasing your screen resolution to at least 1024x768 so you can see the whole page: iTunes window does not display all options

  • What cable do I need to connect an i-pod classic to a Boze Wave machine?

    What cable do I need to connect an I-pod classic to a Boze wave machine?

    If you're trying to transfer the music, from the Nano to the Air, you have to either download your purchased songs again in the purchased tab of iTunes or sync them to the Air, using iTunes on your computer.
    Its been a few years since I've used a Nano, but IIRC, the only way to get the music on the device to begin with is by syncing with iTunes, so the songs have to be in your iTunes library.

  • I was given an 80gb ipod classic formated with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library?

    I was given an 80gb ipod classic formatted with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library? When I try to connect to my pc I get a message asking me if I want to format the drive. I want to try to save the 15000 songs that are already on the ipod. Any suggestions?

    The iPod and iTunes are designed so that you cannot transfer music on an iPod to another iTunes Library. This is because the 15,000 songs do not belong to you and you have no legal right to keep them.

  • How do i transfer my music from my i pod classic to my new mac

    Hey chaisson15,
    It may be easier to move your music to your new computer from your old PC. You can read up on how to do so here:

  • I want to transfer a song from my I-pod classic to my computer Mac G 5 How do I do this? Jim

    I want to transfer one song from my I-POD Classic to my I tunes library on my Mac G5 tower computer, How do I do this?
    Jim

    If this is a sing that you have purchased and downloaded from iTunes there should be no problem to re-download it from iTunes  to your G5:
    If it is a song that you ripped from an audio CD then you will need a utility such as Senuti (open source, free download)
    http://download.cnet.com/Senuti/3000-18546_4-49674.html
    Normally, songs are intended to go in one direction: from CD or iTunes Store to Mac to iPod, not from iPod to Mac.  

  • IPod Classic 80gb - Linux & Mac, but no Windows.

    I have an 80gb iPod Classic which I use with Mac, Windows, and Linux Computers. It's a Windows formatted iPod, but recently it hasn't been working on windows. It will connect, and just be recognized as Removeable Disk F. It also comes up with the error message "iPod must be formatted for use with Windows". I've tried it on several different windows computers, and tried reinstalling drivers. The strange part is that it still connects and syncs just fine to Mac and Linux. (Though I only use it as a disk with Linux, no syncing).
    Any ideas what could be the issue?

    My son has a Mac and I finally let him try to resolved my problem, because my PC (windows) wasn't recognizing my ipod issue.He actually got it to talk to his computer and do something, but then after it finished it told me it couldn't restore it, because it needed itunes 7 or lower! Of course this happened right after i updated to itunes 9! Let me know what happens.

  • IPod classic formated for MAc and Windows

    Hello
    I have a problem with my iPod classic. I use both Windows and Mac platforms and have iTunes library on both. Or course i would like to use my iPod with both as well. But each time i connect my iPod classic th any of the computers it asks me to restore the settings i.e. format it to either Mac or Windows. Does anyone now how to go around that problem, how to set it to work with both platforms?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem.. I have a normal iPod, and I originally used it on my PC. I recently got an iMac and now iTunes says that "..Windows formatted iPod's cannot be updated on Macintosh computers.." or something very similar to that..
    Any tips/ideas?? Would be greatly appreciated.
    BTW.. I still have the PC, but would just prefer to control my iPod from the Mac.
    Thanks =]
    [edit] Ahh, have read another post about this. So if I restore my iPod, will the music be transferred automatically or do I have do do something else for that?? [/edit]

  • TS1538 My I-pod Classic is not showing up in I-tunes, but my I-pod nano does. What do I need to fix this?

    When I connect my I-pod classic it automatically says its connected in the Classics window, but does not appear in I-Tunes. I have tried removing the old I tunes program and re-installing the newest version, I have done the toggle the hold button reset trick, and nothing. But when I plug in my nano it sync's the connects and shows up in I-Tunes. So that tells me my cord is good and the USB I am using is good. Any help would be great.. Thanks

    1) Plug in the USB then the 21 pin dock connector to your Classic while iTunes isn't open and if your computer makes a little du du noise it means its installing the iPods Device software and should work once its finished
    2) Try using a different USB port or cord and see if that makes a difference
    3)Contact Apple directly by phone and there support line is here http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • I Pod classic not appearing in i tunes

    When I plug in my I pod Classic 80g the follwing error message occurs:
    There might be a problem with some of the files on this device or disk. This can happen if you remove the device or disk before all the files have been written to it.
    Scan & Fix (recommended)
    Continue without scanning.
    I have tried clicking both options, but although a scan appears to start, the dialogue box disappears and nothing happens. I have tried the "5 Rs" but am unable to restore as the device is not shown in I Tunes.
    I also have an i phone which I have no issues connecting to the same laptop & itunes, so would appear to be an issue with the i pod?
    Any ideas would be appreciated as I am at a loss with this...
    Thanks abs

    I have the ipod classic 120gig and am having the same problem. Just started today. I even tried Media Monkey and can't get it to recognize my ipod. Still searching the discussion groups for a fix.
