Have IPOD and partners Itunes - how to use it for me?
I am not good with technology and easily confused! I have an old IPOD that is full with about 2000 of my songs. We have moved overseas and I use my partners computer. He has Itunes installed with all his IPOD details on it.
My question is - how do I get all my info on it so I can edit my songs, put new downloads on etc. At the moment I am listening to the same stuff i loaded on 4 yrs ago when I got the IPOD and it drives me mad.
I dont want it to delete his stuff - just want the facility to run my own Itunes with my Ipod.
How so i do this????
Hey there,
One solution is to copy all the music currently on your iPod to your partner's computer and then restore the ipod through iTunes and resync all the old music back to it as well as the new music. This way, you can update the ipod with new songs and play counts and such.
You could even create an entire new empty library for just your Tunes on his computer. Instructions on how to do this can be found in this Apple support document, which actually provides several methods on how to manage multiple iPods with one computer.
[How to use multiple iPods with one computer|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495]
As to how to copy music from your iPod to the computer, there are several ways you can accomplish this. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

I'm an idiot with a 5G IPod don't know how to use iSquint for Videos
if I had know that I had to convert all my videos , which I have no idea on how to do it , I wouldn't have bought it . I've been reading the forums and downloaded iSquint . I click convert file optimize for iPod and automatically add to iTunes . The video shows up in iTunes in the video folder and play in the selected song box in the lower right hand corner in the iTunes , I've been trying to drag and drop them on to my iPod in the source list in iTunes but no luck , how do I get the videos onto my iPod . Thanks all .
ClariceIt sounds like you're going about it the right way. I also used iSquint for short videos. Handbrake is the program you want for converting DVDs.
Are you converting MPEGs? DVDs? AVIs?
You said they're going into iTunes correctly and play in iTunes. That's a major hurdle. So what happens when you select your video and drag it toward the video ipod in the menu bar? When you drag the video on top of your ipod's name (on the left hand Source menu bar) does it change to a plus sign? Do you get an error message when you attemp to move the files?
Is your iPod up to date on the software? Is your iTunes the most recent version?
More details on your problem would help us figure out the solution. Of course you can always take it to your local Apple store where they are MORE than happy to help you. -
Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?
You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music. -
Using windows 8 - receive message "ipod detected but cannot be identified properly" when connecting ipod nano 7th gen. Have unisntalled and reinstalled itunes from apple site as advised with no luck. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it please?
This is how it's displayed: http://i50.tinypic.com/nd7vk7.jpg

I let a child use my iPod and she purchased a lot of doeses for idoser and I did not have the money on my card. Now I can't download anything at all without using a new credit card or paying for it. How do I cancel it
First, to prevent this from happening again, turn off "In App purchases" in the Restrictions settings on your iPod. You may also want to turn off the ability to install apps, to prevent purchases in case the child gets hold of your iTunes Store account information, and set the password to be required immediately. For more information, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
As to a refund, that's not automatic since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
They're usually pretty lenient in the case of inadvertent purchases by children. No guarantees, though, just as if your child was in a store and ate a bunch of food (in other words, something that can't just be returned).
Good luck. -
I have a .mac family account, a personal .mac account and separate iTunes id I use for my work iPhone and the associated apps. How do I keep them separate in the iCloud change?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Could you tell us a little more about what you want to do. Bear in mind that iTunes has nothing to do with your iCloud account. -

Hi Apple community ---
I went on iTunes after not using it for awhile and my old playlists are all gone. My library seems intact, but I don't have a record of my playlists, except for what's in my iPod. I'm afraid to sync them to get the playlists back into my computer, becuase the last time I synced my iphone it erased all my contacts from both my iphone and my computer, and I don't want the sync operation to remove the playlists from the iPod as well.
I don't have any music on my iPhone, so the two devices in question are just the iTunes program on the computer (it's a Dell with Windows Vista) and my 160 GB iPod classic.
Thanks for your help!!!

Hello there! I have a 2nd generation Ipod and right now I cannot use a lot of app because of its old software. Is there a way to solve it?
Only by purchasing a newer model iPod.
To more easily find compatible apps for your 2G
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -
I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?
== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.
iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad. -
Make sure that you can access the Internet on your computer or device.
Make sure that your computer meets the iTunes minimum system requirements.
Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date:
Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card that I cannot use(been trying now for 6 days). I am going to return both of these items if I cannot find a fix for this.When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer. There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day. The iTunes app was downloaded the same day. Since day 1 I have not been able to connect. I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
A new window opens and I get the following message:
This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
Please review your account information
So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
Welcome to the iTunes Store
With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
So I click on 'Continue'
A pop up window says:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops -
Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.
I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync! -
