Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Going from Windows to Mac with iPod.

    Hiya.
    I have an iPod Nano (2nd generation), which I intially installed on a PC with Windows. I've just recently got a MacBook and I want to use my iPod with the MacBook instead. The only problem is that the iPod seems to be configurated to Windows so it won't allow me to update the iPod. Does anyone know how to change this so that it's configurated to Mac?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michelle

    Apple currently only fully supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac. Essentially what this means is that to update the software the iPod has to be restored. Restoring will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive with the Mac file system, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • Itunes says my music files are 6gb, my user/itunes music folder says its 23gb. I am trying to move it from old/new mac with 8gb ipod

    I am trying to move my sons  library to his new mac using his 8 gb i pod as a hard drive.....
    itunes 9.0.1  says his music files is only  6gb.  But when I go to transfer his itunes folder it says his music folder is 23gb.  I know I can home share transfer but his wireless is down.  Either way I am wondering
    1)  why is Music folder so large compared to my music library?
    2.) Can I simply move the 6gb of music and the playlist info etc....using his 8gb ipod?
    3.) Can I delete his previous library files ?

    No, I have the music I want to move from the laptop to the phone selected. Then I go under file, devices, and try to click sync but it is not available to click.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Pictures With Your iPod Touch

    add your pictures with your iPod touch

    For most folks, it actually makes the photos smaller. It goes through some "optimization" to make the photos the proper size, etc, for the iPod. Maybe if they're too small, that optimization makes them bigger? My 162 photos, which are 219 MB on my computer, are 102 MB on my iPod, so a bit more than 1 MB for two photos.
    In an attempt to answer the OP's non-question... in order to get photos onto the iPod from your computer, you need to select the "Photos" tab in iTunes when your iPod is hooked up, and select directory/directories that contain photos (or will contain photos) to sync to your iPod.

    I am so glad to hear about your success. As you are new to the Mac environment, I will be glad to help you more.
    You said: "I can't change the setup yet but i have access". I don't understand what you mean about changing the setup! Please let me know more about that.
    I also recommend to use Boot Camp, which allows you to install windows on a partition of your internal hard drive. This has many benefits. First, you can restart your computer and start up in windows. This makes your Mac device a complete windows machine and you gain the most from your hardware when working in Windows. Second, if a problem occures to your Mac OS X, you can restart your machine in Windows and prevent your data from getting lost. Third, you can import the Windows installed on the boot camp partition in to the Mac OS X using VMWare Fusion and work with it as a virtual machine. In this situation, VMWare enables you to work directly with your Windows in the boot camp partition. So it does not create a file package for the virtual machine in OS X.
    Regarding the data safety and reliablity, I strongly recommend using Time Machine. You can also set it up to back up your virtual machines or not. This is possible to set up in the Virtual Machine Preferences Page in VMWare Fusion, or in the Time Machine preferences page in the System Preferences app of OS X.
    Please don't hesitate to ask any other question. I will be glad to help you.

    Upgrade to the newest version of iTunes first to see if that helps.

  • How do you choose songs from your ipod instead of from the car dashboard while your ipod is plugged into your car?

    How do you choose songs from your ipod instead of from the car dashboard while your ipod is plugged into your car?

    It depends on your car stereo. On the JVC we have you can select either "Head Mode" or "iPod Mode" when you're plugged into the USB port. Ipod Mode lets you select the songs from the iPod although the radio still controls the volume. I believe the Alpine I have does the same thing.

  • Transferring Playlists From A Windows Computer to a Mac (with an IPod???)

    I recently switched from a Windows computer to a Mac and the folk at the Apple Store copied my documents and music files to the new Mac. All of my music that I had on ITunes on the Windows computer was transferred, including all the purchased music. The only thing that wasn't transferred were my extensive playlists, which I've spent years creating. I figured I could do it with my IPod and I was about to synch my IPod with the new Mac, when I saw the message advising me that everything on the IPod would be erased including, presumably, the existing playlists. Now, I realize I could simply print out what's on the playlists from my old Windows computer and manually recreate the playlists, but that would be a laborious pain in the butt. There's gotta be a simpler way but so far so one seems to be able to tell me what it is. A few people have told me there's no way to do it, but I have to believe there's a way because it would be foolish and dumb for there not to be. Any ideas? Thanks.

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and clone playlists from an iPod. You could start your research with the three below, I believe they can all copy playlists and other data. If you search the web I'm sure you'll find others:
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • Migrating from PC to Mac with Ipod

    We have an ipod that is set up to be used with Windows and now have a Mac. Is it possible to transfer the itunes library from PC to Mac? Just to make things more complicated the ipod also has lots of albums on it which were deleted on the PC so that they are just on the ipod and not in itunes. What would be the best way if any to transfer everything to the Mac and set up the ipod to use with the Mac?

    You can move you entire library as you see it on the PC using your iPod or external drive to your Mac. The following is an article from the Apple support page. It is easy to follow.

  • IPod going from PC to Mac

    Hello,
    I just recently purchased my first Mac. I have an iPod and have been using it on a PC since I bought it. What will happen if I plug my iPod into my new Mac? Will it erase everything? A lotta my music on my iPod is not backed up on another harddrive so I hope not. Someone please help.

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting to your new computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod 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 songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and 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. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    There's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are also 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. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you are happy with.

    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, for more on this function look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    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 again.

  • HT1296 How do you sync music from your library on your mac to your iPod?

    This is my first ipod that I have ever had.  I got my mac about 6 months ago and downloaded music onto my itunes on my mac along with syncing cds that I had and putting them on my itunes library.  I just can't seem to find a way to transfer my music that I have from my library onto my ipod.

    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
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod.... and follow the instructions.

  • Going from windows to MAC OS

    Hi
    I have an iPod video 30GB. Currently I am a windows XP user so it is formatted for that. However, I am considering buying a MAC. I was wondering how this would affect my iPod. I presume it will have to be re-formatted. How will this affect any music on the iPod?
    Pippa

    You can use your iPod formatted as it is as Macs can read Windows formatting. I've seen a few posts on the forum where there have been problems but these would be the exception. Have you thought about how you are going to get your music from your PC to your new Mac? There is a good general guide to switching from Windows to Mac at the following link that touches on moving music as well How to Move to a Mac - Get your stuff from your PC to your new Mac
    There are also these guides:
    How to move music between authorised computers
    Networking with a Windows PC
    Alternatively you could copy the music directly from your iPod. There's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
