Correction to My Question re: Losing IPOD Library

I apologize for not stating my question clearly. The issue is that I have a 16 GB Nano IPOD Library. I also have a full 8GB Classic IPOD. I want to reset the Classic when it is attached to my PC but I am afraid it will wipe out my Nano Library.

Howdly once again!

As Niel stated in your previous thread, restoring your classic will not affect your 16 GB Nano or your iTunes library. There is no need to be worried about anything.

  • How do I charge iPod w/ a different computer without losing my iPod library

    I usually use the iPod with my G5 at home. Last time I travelled I tried charging the iPod with the USB cable and my laptop. Unfortunately, it decided to use the library of iBook.
    I know there is a setting for manually updating, etc. Isn't that option only available when the iPod is plugged into the computer? I would rather do it now while I am at home then on my trip and lose my tracks.
    So to sum up, my question is... How do I charge my iPod with a second machine and not lose my iPod library?
    Thank you so much in advance!
    Bobby

    Since you have a fifth generation iPod and a machine with FireWire ports, you can do this by plugging it in through the FireWire connection; that iPod will charge but not sync through FireWire. Otherwise, set the iPod to update manually when it is hooked up to the main machine, or use these instructions to change the synchronization mode.

  • HT1926 I just tried to update to latest iTunes version and received an error 7 (Windows error 1114) that "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes." How so I go about this without losing my library contents (which are not backed up on c

    I just tried to install latest iTunes version and install failed. A pop-up stated "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. ERROR 7 (Windows error 1114)." I have a decent-sized iTunes library that is not backed-up to the cloud. How can I either get back to the previous iTunes version that was functioning OR install a new version without losing the Library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • How can I install my husbands iPod/library on the same computer that I have my iPod/library on? Can someone send me the step by step instructions? I was a windows computer. Thanks!

    So we just got a new computer and I was able to successfully add my iPod/library to it. However when I tried to add my husbands iPod/library to the computer his library didn't show up. He is ony able to charge his iPod but cannot see his library. I tried adding another account/admin to my computer and download itunes with his ipod that way but it said there was another library and it couldn't access his library song list. His ipod is showing up on the left side however when I click on it there is nothing displaying. So my question to you or what I am trying to figure out is how can I get his ipod to show up with his library if he plugs in his ipod? Do I need to create a new account and if so how do I do it? I have a windows computer. Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to do this? He is going crazy not being able to access anything.
    Thanks!

  • ITunes keeps losing my library every 2-3 days!

    iTunes keeps losing my library every 2-3 days. Completely erasing all songs and playlists. This is incredibly annoying and forces me to redo it all AGAIN.
    Any way for me to solve this problem?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • IOS Ipod Library Access [ANE]

    Hey Everyone,
    Just putting together an extension to get tracks from your iOS library into AIR as Sound objects inorder to access their SampleData. I haven't seen one around that needed what I wanted so I thought I'd share it with you all.
    At the moment you can request the whole library information and it will all be returned in a custom Vector of ILMediaItem's, which have all the properties of the tracks in them. You can then use the ILMediaItem.ipodID to request the track from the native iPod Library and it will physically extract the track file from the library, and copy it to wherever you like, and return the URL once it's copied.
    Debug development is available too, so you can run the thing on Desktop while you develop.
    Docs are here:
    http://audiobrush.com/developer/ipodlibrary/docs/
    Extension is here:
    http://audiobrush.com/developer/ipodlibrary/IpodLibrary.ane
    Let me know if you think there could be some additional features added to it, but it's there for now =).
    Hope you like...
    O.

    Hmm, strange, I'm a little lost as I've updated the code on my machine and it's not revisioned at all, so the line number is a little useless to me actually. I've had a look through that method, and I can't see anything that would be null.
    In the console do you see:
    "Ipod Library: Running in desktop mode, please set Debug Properties before proceeding further."
    When you run on a desktop?
    Are there MP3 files in the directory that you are pointing to?
    I should probably blow the dust of my old laptop and fire up Windows to test this, but I really can't see why it would be different to Mac OS X.
    I'm actually in the process of playlists as I type this. So they will be here in the next week or so, it willl be part of the ILFilterType.PLAYLIST when you call the getLibraryOf method. Other features coming up are the ability to switch between, iPod Library, Spotify, Pandora and SoundCloud.
    I will keep this thread updated.
    As for a full version I'm a little reluctent to give it out a version which lists everything. Maybe once I know what I've created I will have lite and premium versions. If you send us a PM i'll get back to with a full version.
    Let me know about my questions and I'll try get this fixed for you.

  • How to get music into iPod library other than with iTunes?

    I am using an iPhone video editing app and want to add music to the clips. The option presented is to "add music from iPod library. I am presently traveling abroad and do not have my MacBook to sync music into my iPhone. There is tons of free music available online but the question is how to get any of it into my iPod library. I've tried a third party "download" app but it stores music inside the app, not in the iPod library. Are the only ways to put music in my iPod library either 1) sync from my MacBook or 2) buy from iTunes store? or are there other options?
    Thanks much.  

    The Jazz website you showed had Real audio files, and these won't be able to be played in the iPod app anyway.
    But there are options for websites with mp3s.
    There are apps that can play mp3s and make playlists, and some that can download music from legit websites and then play it.
    Do a search for "mp3 play download" in the itunes store.
    I have never needed one, but there are a few there that seem to offer what you are asking.
    Theuy won't add the music to the ipod app, but they play themselves so that might be what you are looking for.

    My iTunes library will no longer sync to my iPhone or iPad, nor will it play from my Mac. My Library is on my external HD. iTunes is correctly looking to the HD as its library. Please help...

    Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
    This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
    Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply,  then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
    I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes.  Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
    I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
    Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.
