Copy music to iPod from multiple Macs

Can anyone tell me how to copy tracks from different computers in the household to one iPod?

Put the iPod into manually managed mode from the summary tab for the device when it is connected to iTunes. Then drag and drop at will.
Note that with the current build - 10.6.1.7 - you should let each transfer complete before adding any new tracks as the queuing system appears to be broken at present.
For preference however I would keep the iPod synced with one library and import any other content into that library over the network. Manual management is, in my opinion, more effort than setting up a few playlists to organise your selections for the device.

How do I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

My itunes PC no longer works. How can I copy music and video from my iPod to a new PC?

You can't transfer music from an iPod to a PC. Apple do not provide that facility. It can be done with third party software though. There are a variety of these available though so search google for 'ipod to itunes'.

HT1320 I lost all my podcasts to day from my ipod classic but not my music. After trying several times I still cannot load my podcasts back onto my ipod from my MAC. How do I do this?

Today I lost all my podcasts from my ipod classic. My music remained on the ipod. Why did this happen and how do I get them back onto my ipod from my MAC?

If all of these missing podcasts are still in iTunes, simply reconfigure them to sync to your iPod via the iPod's Podcast configuration pane in iTunes. To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane. Over to the right, in the main window pane of iTunes, look for the Podcasts tab along the top and select it.
Here you can configure how and what podcasts are synced to your device. If you do happen to make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the update changes to your iPod Classic.

We have a new iPod Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac. We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level. Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"), should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music? Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing. Any suggestions?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."
iTunes: About Sound Check

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV 2 doesn't show up under devices like the Apple TV 1, to send video and music to the Apple TV you need to use the Airplay Option which appears in the lower right corner of iTunes.

How can I transfer music and iTunes from my mac to my iPhone?

I have a macbook air and need to transfer some of my music and itunes from my mac to my newly updates iphone4. Previously I used to drag what I wanted from my itunes to my phone but now it doesn't work. Any ideas?

First step, of course, is to plug your iPhone into your Macbooks Air. Then, you need to set up syncing how you want it in iTunes (on the MBA). If you want to be able to drag and drop music, select "manually manage music" on the Summary pane in iTunes.

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

Entourage is a third party app so stop down to the Microsoft support forums. In any case I would suspect in its preferences there would be a selection as to when (parameters) incoming mail should be deleted from the server.

Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

Since I have installed Lion onto my iMac it's impossible to to copy any video file from the mac to an external support (ups-stick, Timecapsule). What's happened? What can I do?

If you just did upgrade Lion, give it some time. I recall having similar problems and some articles mention heavy background work after install - such as re-indexing for Spotlight etc. I couldn't even copy from folder to folder or e.g. iphoto to folder on the same disk. Went away after a day or two though.
I do however still have a problem with AFP access to one of the lion machines - kills it's network adaptors rather quickly. No luck solving this so far :|

Try doing it without a cable!
Use AirDrop, described here:

UPDATE - Oh, sorry, I see the article points out the MacBook is too old for AirDrop.

Can I use accounts in the Airport Utility to keep backup from multiple macs separate and separate?

Can I use accounts in the Airport Utility to keep backup from multiple macs separate and separate?

Backups from multiple Macs are always kept separate. Each Mac TM will create its own sparsebundle and will not interfere with others.
Using the accounts in AU will simply make each sparsebundle only accessible to that user.. ie it is a purely a security measure.. that is so weak as to be useless .. anyone can bypass it by pressing the reset for 1sec.
And what it will do is cut off everyone from their existing backups.. you will be warned when you set it up that what is about to happen may not be 100% goodness.. pay attention.. it is not.

You can't.
There are 3rd party apps that will load music onto your iPod.

In which may I am able to copy my office docs from my mac book pro to my ipad?

In which may I am able to copy my office docs from my mac book pro to my ipad?

You can copy word, excel, and powerpoint documents to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that support those document types - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
The options include :
Apple's Pages app for Word docs : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8
Numbers for Excel spreadhsheets : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8
Keynote for Powerpoint : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/keynote/id361285480?mt=8
syncing content : http://help.apple.com/pages/ipad/1.4/#tanb5b5c055 (I think Numbers and keynote are similar)
