Control iPod from the computer

Hi all;
I have an iPod Mini connected to the Hi-Fi and to the computer via USB. I would like to control the iPod from the PC, so I don't have to stand up every time I want to change the song. I don't want iTunes to play iPod's music through computer speakers, just make iPod play things as normal with the PC. Do you know if it is possible with iTunes or there is any kind of software that makes it?
Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer                            
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When I add songs to my iPod, they go on there. But when I disconnect my iPod from the computer and plug it back in the songs never stay on there. How can I fix this?

    Just recently I've noticed my apps wasn't working, they would just blink and then exit out. So I searched on here to find out what I should do, and I seen that someone said to restore the iPod. I did just so, but before I did I made sure I backed it up so I still had my files. But when I plugged it in there was no option of restoring from backup. I didn't know why, but I just added all of my old songs from before. However, when I unplug it (after my songs have been added) and plug it back in.. My songs aren't there anymore! This is very frustrating because it's done this to me 3 times and I'm not sure what to do.

    The same thing happened to me when I updated to the new software when iPhone 4S came out. 

  • HT201304 If I forgot my password is there any way to remove the restrictions and backup my iPod from the computer? I tried reseting it to factory defaults and then backing it up but it still has the restrictions on.

    I'm trying to remove my restrictions, and i reset it to factory default, but everytime i back it up the restrictions are still on. I don't want to have to register as a new ipod and loose everything i've bought and added.

    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - If you are up to it see:

    Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side you can use the Music tab to select which of your music that you want on the iPod.

  • How do i add songs to my ipod from another computer without losing the music i already have on it from the original computer?

    i want to connect my ipod to a friends computer to get some of her songs on my ipod. every time i do this tho it deletes the songs i already had on my ipod from the original computer. how do i get this to work? please help

    When you connect the ipod and are prompted to erase and sync....just click cancel.  Then click the ipod name below devices in the itunes source pane.  From the ipod summary screen you want to check manually manage music and videos under the options tab.  Apply the changes and you are now set to manually sync.  Which means you just drag and drop the music you want to sync to your ipod below devices in the itunes source pane.   Refer to this for more detailed instructions:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

  • Is there a way to get music from your iPod onto the computer?

    I recieved most of the music that is currently on my iPod from my cousin, but if i want to add some of MY music to the iPod then i have to erase all of her music off of it! Is there a way to save the music that is already on there and then put it back on the iPod once it has been erased?

    First of all try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
