Help Please..Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned). How do I transfer the library from the 160 to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista (ie merge the 2 libraries)? Thanks

Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned as it had a very noisy hard drive).
How do I transfer the library from the 160gb  to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista.
Nothing seems to help on the Apple support pages, so any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but not actually sure how to sync a second iPod with the library of the first, as I thought it would not recognise a new iPod for copyright reasons.
Also, the files are in a location on the pc but I had to do lots of formatting amendments in iTunes as most of the stuff was on mp3 files and the formatting was all over the place. I did not want to loose any of the work by simply asking the new iPod to look at the original file and would rather copy en masse from one device to another.
Any help or pointers greatly appreciated
Thanks

  • HT1567 cannot import cd into iTunes using Windows Vista

    I have tried everything and am unable to import an MP3 audio CD into iTunes using Windows Vista. I am able to import regular audio CDs. Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I would first suggest recreating your iTunes library file:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    If that doesn't resolve it, try pulling your iTunes preferences:
    Quit iTunes if it is running.
    Navigate to /User/Library/Preferences/
    Drag com.apple.itunes.plist to the trash
    Restart the Mac
    Launch iTunes again

  • I have an order iPod classic (2007). I also have a Boise docking station. I can use the ipod with earphones

    I have an order iPod classic (2007). I also have a Boise docking station. I can use the ipod with earphones or the computer however there is no sound when placed on the docking station. I don't believe it is the docking station as it is never moved, only I use it (older and single). Could it be a setting? Help

    iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID.  So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account.  Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

  • If I have a lot of progress in a game on my iPod, but it dies and I get a new one, is there a way to transfer the data?

    If I have a lot of progress in a game on my iPod, but it dies and I get a new one, is there a way to transfer the data? I've been playing a cool game for a while, but I think it might be time to get a new iPod. Is there a way to login with the same gamecenter account, and it will all be on the new iPod? Thx.

    App data is not backed up through Game Center, but rather through iCloud. If you have an iCloud backup and you get a new iPod, after your games redownload from the Internet all data within the apps should be preserved.

  • HT1386 I have an older ipod classic with tons of music I collected over several years.  I want to add the music from this to my itunes library.  When I connect it, I don't see that option. How can I do this?

    I have an older ipod classic that I have had for about 5-6 years.  I used this to download music from cd's through an older computer that doesn't work anymore.  I want to add the music to my current computer I-tune library, but can't figure out how to do it.  How do I import this music from my older itunes ipod so that I can then sync some of it with my iphone.  Hate to lose all of this music since it took me years to collect and download it.

  • How to I transfer my apps from my iPhone to my new computer (iTunes 11)

    Hi all,
    I just bought a new computer and I installed the latest version of iTunes on it (iTunes 11). But now I don't know how I can transfer my apps from my iTunes into my new iTunes library. I don't want to download them all again in the iTunes Store while they are installed on my iPhone!
    Any solutions would be great!

    Connect the device to your PC and launch iTunes. Press Ctrl+S to show the Sidebar. Find your device name in the Sidebar and right-click then select Transfer Purchases.

  • Syncing iPod with iTunes using Windows Vista

    I bought my iPod last December and had an Hp Laptop using Windows Xp. Recently I bought a new computer that has Windows Vista on it and since then I can't sync my iPod. iTunes won't recognise that it's even connected. I have transfered all my music and have the latest version of itunes available. Is there something else I have to download to make my iPod syc up? Please help!

    It should be working fine. Perhaps your cable has gone bad or the USB port has waffled. Hard to say without trying a few different things.

  • Itune using Window VISTA

    Hi,
    Recently upgrade PC to Windows VISTA, since then Itunes doesnt sync properly with my ipod mainly songs purchased.
    I made the mistake of upgrading old OS without first doing anything to itunes ?
    Ive since installed latest ver7.1 successfully but still having problems sync all songs to my ipod ?
    Any ideas ?

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the libxml2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well
    In case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
      1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
    3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
    5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • How can I keep Adobe Reader from closing 30 secs after I open it? Windows Vista

    My Adobe Reader closes after 30 seconds or so of being opened. I've been making changes to some of my windows settings in an effort to reduce risk of viruses and malware, etc. I don't know why it affected the time Adobe is allowed to stay open and so don't know how to fix the problem. How can I fix this?

    Three things to try:
    Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • HT1848 How do I transfer individual songs from my PC to my iPhone?  It used to be so easy!

    How do i transfer from PC to iPhone?  It used to be so easy with the older iTunes, i just highlighted the songs i wanted and drug them to and area that said "iPhone" and then the went onto the phone.  That doesn't seem to work anymore!!!  ***?!?  I've been sitting here for 1 hour trying to figure this out but noting seems to work.  I even tried to drop and drag right from the native folder location on to the iphone; that didn't work either.  I am currnetly running Windows 8 on a brand new HP Envy, so computing power isnt the issue.  My old computer was a pc clone pentium 2 with Windows XP, and it worked like a charm.  The issue is this new (NOT user friendly) version of iTunes.  Also, don't tell me that "syncing" is the answer, because i have thousands of songs on my PC, and can only fit a few hundred songs on my iphone without filling it up.  Also, i am buying MP3s from Amazon (because they're cheaper there than iTunes).  Maybe i've answered my own question... has Apple purposly disabled the use of iTunes on PCs with generic MP3 files?  Let's hope not.  I'd have the same problem if i were importing directly from a CD.  Any insight would be great... this is irritating as ****.   

    Thanks for trying to help me. 
    First, in you reply (and i've read this elsewhere), you imply that i need to check a box that says "manually manage music."  OK, great, but where do i find such box?  Is that on the iphone or in itunes?  Also, i am afraid of losing what i already do have on my phone.  I have about 150 songs, some of which were purchesed thru itunes, but most of which i "dropped and dragged" from my older computer with the older version of itunes.  When i go to itunes with my iphone plugged in, all of the boxes are grayed out, except one at the top that says "Sync Music".  When i check this box, i get an error warning that says "Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?  Music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones synced to [name of my iPhone] from other iTunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this iTunes library." 
    So, i have over 3000+ songs in my itunes library on my computer... obviously that isn't going to fit on my phone. So then, what is going to happen?  I'll lose everything that is already on my phone PLUS it will NOT be able to sync? 
    Is now the time to buy a Zune?!?  For the company that is supposedly "user friendly", Apple has really managed to screw this one up. 
    Thanks, John

  • How do I transfer my purchases from my iPad to my new Mac iTunes?

    So I recently bought my new MacBook Pro (Retina 15inch) for school. Over the years I have bought tons of movies and tv shows and a lot of music, and now I need all of my purchases on my computer. I've read some of the older discussions but none of them have worked for me. I need help transfering my old iTunes purchases from my iPad to iTunes on my computer. (I am already at school and do not have my old computer with me, so transfering from computer to computer isn't an option.)
