Going from windows to a mac downloading books on my ipod classic

I got a new laptop and no longer have acces to the desktop that I used for my ipod classic. How do I download new books without losing the ones that are already on it?

You should be able to switch the iPod into manually managed mode. It should retain all the media currently on it and let you add media from a different computer. However if there is a warning that it will remove the current data then you should probably heed it and cancel.
If you can it would be best to extract the current content of the device to your new laptop.

See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options on moving your iPod data back to your computer.

  • Moving iTunes from Windows to a Mac... for multiple iPods

    I have just bought a new MacBook Air, and am facing a problem of how to move my current iTunes over to it!
    The main problem is that I currently have 3 different iPods on the go (shuffle, video and iPhone) all with different music on them. At the moment I have managed to put an iTunes library for each of them on 3 different windows laptops/computers, but as I'm off to university I would ideally like to put all 3 libraries on my new MBA.
    Has anyone got any advice on how the best way is to do this? Would a separate hard-disk work for moving the music over from Windows to Mac? Also I have no idea how you create 3 separate iTunes libraries on one MacBook!
    Thanks in advance

    The easy answer is to just drag and drop all her music files into the new iTunes Library on her new 12" PB.
    Get them on media (CD/DVD) or however you want. My favorite method is to get both systems on the network, drag copies to a temporary folder on the desktop. Then the PC is out of the loop. And you have not commited to a MOVE or DELETE of the source at this point. Then, drag and drop the temporary folder into iTunes. As long as it is setup properly, iTunes will COPY the files as added, and ORGANIZE the files and folders for you. After all that, delete the temporary folder.

  • Going from Windows 7 to Mac OS 10.8.4

    400 GB of music on a NAS drive from my Windows 7 notebook.  I now have a MacBook Pro and want to access the same library.  What's the easiest and quickest way to do this?  Adding the files the traditional way will take a couple of days.  Do I have any other options?  Thanks!

    The "traditional way" (Migration Assistant) is the most likely way to work error-free.
    The next likely error-free option that would increase the speed of the transfer would be to shrink the library size before doing the transfer.

  • I changed my Adobe user ID when we changed from Windows PC to Mac and now I am unable to read previously downloaded ebooks on my Sony Reader device due to Digital Rights Management.  Can I resolve this?

    Hi Blotontheland,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

  • Migrating browsing history from Windows 7 to Mac.

    I created a Firefox Profile and synced from Windows 7 to Mac.
    Only a small amount of my browsing history was migrated (from 9 July 2013 onwards).
    There are approximately 47 500 entries going back to September 2010.
    I downloaded the History Export add-on and tried exporting my browsing history in the .html format. Firefox kept crashing and I could not complete this.
    Is there any way to migrate my entire browsing history to my Profile and my Mac?
    Many thanks

  • Printing from Windows XP to Mac mini

    Hi,

    I recently had to get a new computer.It required me going from windows xp to 7 I am trying to put it one the new computer but I get following message  Windows installer could not be accessed could be in safe mode.How do I get around it? need it to charge my ipod on my computer.

    I have used PCs for years, and still do at work.  But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself).  It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI.  I have no experience with Win8.  Here are my thoughts:
    1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
    2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC.  But not as much less as some would have you believe.  You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display.  And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
    3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
    That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac.  For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation.  I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap.  I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way).  You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere.  And, it probably isn't cheap.
    I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
    I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice.  But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
    So, there you go.

  • Transition from Windows XP to Mac OS X

    I would like information on how to transition my lightroom library and photos from Windows XP to Mac OS X. I am concerned about maintaining my virtual images as well as library settings.

    And Windows is somehow immune from such problems - I don't think so.

    I have already gotten the emails moved from the Dell Laptop running Windows to the iMac and have them in Outlook on the iMac. What I am needing to know is how do I get the folders from Windows Outlook to Mac Outlook so everything will be organized on the iMac like it was on the Dell Laptop.

    Hi Dmzimmerman1,
    What program are you using for email? The answer will vary based on the program. Also, are you referred to archived email folders or is the email account configured for IMAP?
