Getting started. how do I sent my ipod data to another drive?

Ok. I just got my first ipod. I decided to get the classic.
I started to transfer some of my music from my external hard drive onto my ipod with itunes..but I guess everything is saving on my itunes list on my mac drive.
Is there a way to keep all the ipod data on my ext. drive only? I don't want it taking up all the space on my Mac drive by itself.
Also, how do I store Video files on my ipod? Is there any kind of program I can use to convert them to Ipod form (Mp4 or whatever the video format is).
Thanks.

The iPod uses .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats so you probably need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • My hard drive with all my actual music files died.  how can I transfer the music on my ipod classic to another drive?

    my hard drive with all my actual music files died.  how can I transfer the music on my ipod classic to another drive?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. Here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Getting started: how to connect to "tutorial-chat" via AIR app

    Hi,<br />I've gone through the blaze ds "getting started" article and successfully got the chat application working.<br /><br />I now am trying to connect a test AIR app to that same tutorial-chat destination, but am having issues. How do i properly specify the "desination" via a fully qualified url?<br /><br /><mx:Producer id="producer" destination="http://myurl.com:8400/messagebroker/tutorial-chat"/><br /><br /><mx:Consumer id="consumer" destination="http://myurl.com:8400/messagebroker/tutorial-chat"<br />message="messageHandler(event)"/>

    You don't specify urls in destination attributes. You specify destination ids which are defined in messaging-config.xml on the server. Destinations on the server (whose id you use in your Consumer) specify a channel id and channels are also defined on the server in services-config.xml. Channel definition is the one that has the URL in it.
    All you have to do is to make sure you compile your AIR app pointing to the services-config.xml. If you can't do that, then you can create yoru own ChannelSet and assign to your Consumer, something like this:
    var cs:ChannelSet = new ChannelSet();
    var c:Channel = new AMFChannel(null, [URL_OF_YOUR_ENDPOINT]);
    cs.addChannel(cs);
    myConsumer.channelSet = cs;
    If you're running this locally on your machine, URL_OF_YOUR_ENDPOINT is something like http://localhost:8400/messagerbroker/amf but it all depends on how you defined your channel/endpoint in services-config.xml on the server.

  • How can i backup my ipod touch's data to another drive safely?

    Ok here is my current situation. I have on my C: drive about 20% of space remaining, it was almost 10% yesterday.. The biggest item I know of its the back-up data for my Ipod touch 32 gig 4th gen. Now i know there is a method of sort of linking so it sees another drive as C: but I have not tried that at all.
    I have a nice External HD as well as another internal drive i can copy the data to but that is where i need some more info.
    first of all is it possible to copy the data files from C: to another drive, then delete the data on C: till it is needed for itunes?
    Second, if so what files are the ones needed and what steps should i do?
    As an alternate question by the way, is it still not possible to choose where to save the backup data in itunes?

    Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
    Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iTunes will inform you that iPod is linked to a different iTunes library and will ask whether you wish to erase iPod's contents and sync with the new computer's library. If you will be connecting to multiple computers frequently, configure your iPod to manually manage music. This will allow you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod without compromising the existing music.
    Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you typically cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. An exception to this is the transfer purchases feature which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to your computer from your iPod. Additionally, if you legally are allowed to copy music or other media files, you can configure your iPod as a storage drive to move media files.

  • How to move sound track with video to another drive

    If I want to work on a project on another Mac, I copy the iMovie Events and Projects folders to a portable drive, then drag them into the correct folders of the other Mac. (Not sure if this is the best way, but it works.) But the sound track is missing if I don't have the same songs in that Mac's iTunes. What's the best way to keep the song with the project when I transfer to another Mac?

    I tried the Consolidate command, and I see how it works, copying the events or clips to another >drive. But how does the music track get transferred? I don't see it in the copied folder.
    If you followed the instructions, the music track is there. It is probably in the Project file. If you right click on the RCPROJECT file, select "Show Package Contents" and see if you can spot it.
    If I consolidate from one computer to a portable drive, what happens when I plug the portable >drive into another computer? Does iMovie just see the project and events on the external drive? Or >do I have to drag them to the new computer's drive? What about the music tracks? Do I have to >import them into the other computer's iTunes?
    Yes, iMovie sees the external drive, and you can work on your movie. If you prefer, you could drag the RCPROJECT file to the Movies/iMovie Events Folder and then run the Consolidate command again to move everything to the new computer, but you really don't need to. It should work fine on the external drive.
    The external drive must be formatted as Mac OX Extended (journaled)

  • How to move all FC X files to another drive?

    I want to move all my FC X stuff.  Everything currently resides on a Western Digital Firewire 800 eSATA drive.  I'm working on a MacPro tower with 20 GB of RAM and 4 cores.  I'm not overly pleased with the performance when FC X accesses this drive and it gets hot, really hot (burn your hand hot) when backround rendering for large files.  I suspect moving the whole kit and kaboodle to an internal SATA would improve overall performance a bit and I can use smcFanControl to regulate the temperature.
    The question:  By doing this will FC X lose all the links to the source files that I've already used in projects?  If so, how do I reconnect media?
    I have about two tons of source footage that I imported from cam archives primarily as an excersise when I was first beginning to learn about importing footage in the new app, so much of it is not critical (I can always reimport from the original archives safely held on another drive) however, they've already been analysed and sorted into smart collections at this point and I may want to use some on future projects.  So - should I delete events not used in projects thus far and then properly move the ones that are used in projects via the Move command in the FILE drop down menu or just copy all the files and folders in the FC X folder on the eSATA drive to the internal drive via the finder?  I'm not currently in the middle of any projects.  All have been succesfully completed and rendered out as movies.  The clients are all happy and the most important thing - the checks all cleared, so no worries there.  Benefits? Pitfalls?  Any opinions?  We're talking about 1.5 TB of data here.

    It was a procedure i had written for my personal clients that had been having issues updating the Desktop Content Viewer.  I personally didn't write it here because it involves using the update package in away that it wasn't directly intended to operate.  It should be noted using that procedure should be a last resort -- and tampering with Update packages is never recommended as you could permanently alter the way your software works -- creating yourself more headaches.
    It should also be noted that the procedure listed is a Mac only solution.  Update packages are handled in a different manner on windows so it should be noted that that procedure would not work.  -- but i honestly have only seen mac users have issues updating the Desktop Content viewer-- not windows.
    With that said i always welcome questions and i do my best to answer them in a timely manner-- if it is a question  you think other people could benefit from i recommend posting it as a forum question -- i generally skim the forum a few times a day but there are many great people here that are always happy to help you.  -- if its a pretty specific question you can always write a private message and ill see what i can recommend.
    Take care and enjoy your weekend!

  • How to add files from iPod to new hard drive after krasch?

    My hard drive recently crasched. I use my iPod as back up. But now, I cannot find out how to copy the files back to the new hard drive on the computor. The iTune program only advices me to delite all information on the iPod to substitute it with the much lesser library on the computer. Obviously it must be possible to copy in both directions. But how do I do it?

    Thank you for your advise. That's one thing I learned. Not to assume that people know about backing up. I would have recommended it a long time ago. That's one thing that Apple or other computer stores should offer, external backup package or combo to make people aware of it's importance. Just a thought!
    Anyway, I do have a little background in troubleshooting. I thought it's a Mac security issue. I would want to try other options before deciding in opening the computer and taking out thehard drive as it is not as convenient as opening a PC.
    Apple does make external hard drives available at the Apple Store, however it is an end users responsibility to backup their system. Apple does offer classes to new users and their 1:1 service too, whether the subject of backing up is mentioned in these I do not know. The subject of backing up as a class "subject" may be something you may want to mention to Apple a www.apple.com/feedback.
    Many users go through the same pain as your friend, myself included! However once you go through the pain, it is a lesson seldom forgotten.
    Many experiences users on these forums have redundant methods of backing up. When it comes to backing up redundancy is wise, why because a backup can (and often do) fail too. For example, in addition to using Time Machine, I also have another EHD that I use to create a bootable clone of my computer. That way if both my internal drive and TM back fails the worst that will happen is I have a system I can boot from that is a day or so old and continue running until I get all my systems fixed.

  • How can I export my iPod contents to another library?

    My iPod's contents were all exported from my desktop iTunes library. Now I want to download that music to an empty library on my laptop.
    I have connected the Pod to the laptop and looked for ways to do this, but I get a screen asking if I want to replace the iPod's contents with those of the new (empty) library, and of course, I do not want to do that because such action would erase all of my iPod's contents. (Wouldn't it?)
    IBM Thinkpad laptop   Windows XP  

    When you connect your iPod and get the message that your it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual. If you are using the iPod in manual update mode it is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes: Using iPod with Multiple computers
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
