Firewire ipod on a non-firewire pc laptop?
Hi. I have a 2G firewire touch wheel ipod and a PC laptop (Compaq Presario C300) without a firewire port or a way to add one.
How can I get my ipod to work with iTunes on my laptop?
I tried using an Iogear usb/firewire hub but the ipod is not recognized in the Device Manager.
Thanks in advance.
Compaq Presario C300 Windows XP

Is there any way of down loading Itunes7, which I have on the Home PC to these laptops? Copy the program or something? I don't know!
Yes, download it from any computer that has internet access and burn it to a cd or whatever other medium you have available.

HELP urgently needed: My Sandberg FireWire for Laptop will not start on my T60
Let me start with information on my T60:
OS information: Microsoft Windows XP
OS version: 5.10.2600 Service Pack 2
Processor: x86 Family 6 Model 14 Stepping 8
Memory: 3.135.856 kb
BIOS version: 2.09 (79ETC9WW)
Machine type-Model: 1951A47
I have just got a new Sandberg FireWire for Laptop, a PC Card with 3 6-pins connectiont. After inserting the card in the PC Card slot, the Windows Device Manager tells me that there are problems with the card. Looking at the 1394 Card Properties the status says:
"This device cannot start. (Code 10) - Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
The troubleshooter did not solve my problem. I have tried disconnecting, re-connection, shut down Windows and start again etc.
At Sandberg Help Desk they tell me that I have two slots in my laptop, one with a 16 bits bus and another with a 32 bits slots, and I should use the latter. It seems that I can use the lower slide only in my laptop and I cannot push the card into the upper slide. There is not enough room for it.
Here is what I found on Lenovo's support site on my type & model:
PC Card
Conforms to the PC Card Standard 95
Type II slot
Both the 16-bit Release 2.1 card standard and the 32-bit CardBus card are supported.
Have a look at these screen captures.
What should I do to solve my urgent problem!?

Sounds to me like a driver configuration problem. Maybe something bad happened during driver install. I would recommend uninstalling the device from device manager by right clicking on it and hitting uninstall. Reboot the computer. Have a go at it again. Also, test your pcmcia port functionality by finding and plugging in a different card. See if that works. It might need repair.

The status right now is:
The PC Card reader works on my T60
If I use a Firewire PC Card it will not start - as described above (on T60)
The PC Card work properly on my T61P - and I succeeded importing a video file from a digital camera using the Fireswire PC Card.
So what does a wise man do in this situation??
Please help me as I urgently need to know how to solve this serious issue!!
Have you got an idea? Can I import the video in another way??

I have an Ipod Touch 2 and rebuilt my laptop. Reinstalled ITUNES and can't find my applications on ITunes after login. I tried to activate Itunes again but it didn't. How can I get my applications to display on ITUNEs?
It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty. You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod. If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
What is says for Win 7 also applies t Win8.
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Also, connect to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod computer problem. -

how do i transfer music from my old ipod, thats not authorized on my laptop, to my new ipod?
if you bought from Apple see this
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
if from 3rd party you have to put songs on computer and sync from itunes. Apple doesnt support syncing from ios to itunes so you will have to already have the songs on pc.

Annoying Ipod Synching Problem!!!- Laptop Crash- Now On Another Comp
I Have a Very Annoying and frustrating Problem with my Ipod Classic (80GB). Recently my laptop Crashed and i got all the music onto my main computer now. The Problem now is getting the music onto my ipod. I Synched it to the computer, Therefore It erases my music from the ipod and synchs it to new itunes. But everytime i try to get the music onto the ipod it either, connects them disconnects, Has a Unkown error Or when i've Waited for ages getting all the music on to it, It says A required file is missing and so your ipod cannot be Syched AND i end up with nothing on the ipod and lots of wasted time
Someone Plz Help.
I reset my ipod and tried it in CD mode but it still didn't work!
What Should I Do?
Message was edited by: TigerMegz+I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump.+
I'm curious about this point. Is there any flash of a blue screen at any point here? (That's a more familiar sort of thing to be seeing prior to the system doing a restart after a serious error.) -
How to I get my shuffle & iPod to work on my new laptop....
My old desktop died and my songs are songs?
1) How do I get my shuffle & my iPod to connect to my new laptop when it used to be assigned to my old dead desktop?
2) How do I get my purchased iTunes songs from Apple since I cannot get them from the dead desktop computer?
Thanks,
Bill Fee*How do I get my shuffle & my iPod to connect to my new laptop when it used to be assigned to my old dead desktop?*
1). Connect your iPod to your computer (this won't work for the shuffle by the way which doesn't have the same manual setting the larger iPods have, you don't actually say what model the other iPod is). If it 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.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your 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
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. 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:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only 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
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
4). 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.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
*How do I get my purchased iTunes songs from Apple since I cannot get them from the dead desktop computer?*
If your iPod still has the purchases on it then any of the methods above will let you transfer them back to the computer. However if they aren't on the iPod and if you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service -
My podcast won't play on my ipod despite it working on my laptop
my podcast won't play on my ipod despite it working on my laptop. i have tried converting them using the advanced tab but that option is greyed out. its very frustrating! can anyone help?
sarahSo you are able to sync these podcasts over to your iPod Classic? Would you be able to post a screenshot of one of these podcast's Summary tab of its Get Info window in iTunes? Be sure to blank out the Apple ID fields and any personal informaiton shown on this tab.
