Help using ipod for photos, music, and video

Guys, I received an IPOD classic 80gig months ago with a college class that I took. I thought it was really neat at the time as I could watch the videos. However, now I'm so glad that it came free with the class and honestly can't understand how anyone can figure out how to operate it. I have photos, music, and videos that I would love to download to the IPOD and watch but after months of reading and rereading the IPOD features guide, I still have no clue how to do it? I'm a college graduate, made the Dean's list. Smart guy, doesn't seem to help me. The features guide will tell you to go to this folder, etc, BUT when I plug my IPOD in there are only like 4 folders that exist! Where are those folders that they are talking about?? I downloaded some photos on my computer into a folder, dragged and dropped them onto my ipod and when I turn the ipod on it says NO PHOTOS!! Same thing happened with my videos and my music? I have a relative in a nursing home who wants me to show her some family photos. I wanted to IPOD those photos and bring them to her. Can't figure it out! Audiobooks??? No way I'll ever figure out how to do that! Are you guys ALL BRAIN SCIENTISTS OR WHAT???

Thanks Neil, for trying to help me put. I actually figured out how to use the notes. I couldn't believe it worked. I was disappointed to see my notes "cut off" as I guess it has a 4000 character limit, I believe it is. Maybe I'll do a search for itunes software on google and try to figure it out. I don't know if the itunes software is free. You know, not for nothing Neil, but I'm suprised an IPOD classic costs over $250.00 and all they give you is a quick start guide. You have to go to the internet to find a copy of the features guide. That's like buying a new car and not getting an owners manual with it. Odd. Thanks again for trying to help me out.

Update using iTunes on your computer. The space requirement does not apply because of how the process works via iTunes as opposed to over the air.

iTunes & Finder might be all you need. Look at the link at bottom of the table in this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Ipod taking all music and videos of slowly

so far my ipod has taken half my music, 2 episodes of tow and a half men, 1 episode of family guy, and 5 episodes of survivor but not all at once it has come off slowly over the past week
i try to restore it, but it says
your hardware cannot be restored because it is in use with another application
but I bought it new and its on in use with 1 computer
can anyone help?

Hi! Not really sure what you mean.
Are the entire missing from itunes on your computer or from off of the ipod Classic?
1. Check you itunes library folder and verify that the entries are missing from the library itself.
2. If they are present, and just not showing up in itunes, use the add file feature to add them to itunes.
3. If they are missing off of the classic and are in itunes, do a sync, if you sync all of your music and videos. Check how you sync your movies and videos (all, unwatched)
Any other suggestion I could make, require more information.
Hope this helps...

IOS5 update has deleted my all Photos, Music and Video.

Hi,
Please help me. I have updated my iPod 4g with iOS5, while updating it asked me to sync/backup which i have taken already.
Once iOS5 got installed on iPod all the Photos, Audio and Video got deleted. Is there any way to get that lost data back to my iPod.

Sounds like you didn't have those sync options turned on in iTunes (on mac) when you updated.
If you have backed up prior to the update you should be able to restore your data. (restore from backup).
On iTunes go to preferences then devices to see a list of your recent backups before you begin.
Good Luck.

Photo Music and Video not working in Smart Center/Touchsmart Mode after Win7 Ultimate Install

Hi, I recently did a clean install (had Win7 Premium64 - now have Win7 Ultimate64). I reinstalled everything using my newly purchased Win7DVD and updated all of the touchsmart software and apps. Everything works fine except for
Photo - It loads, but no photos/folder are showing up...just blank. Tried resetting the touchsmart config, no go.
Video - Crashes the Touchsmart Application
Music - flashes for a split second and closes.
I tried installing multiple versions, the updates, older versions and even called tech support. They want me to recover, upgrade the app (eventhough I was already running version 4) then upgrade using a code. Not an option any more.
Anyone experience this problem? Please help, those are the main reasons I bought this bad boy.
HP Assistand and Update aren't ugrading anything on thouchsmart.
Also, if anyone knows where the Touchsmart YouTube App is (the one that makes it easy to upload and edit) please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Using iPod for Classical Music?

Good Morning,
I've been loading my entire CD collection onto my iPod Classic (about 300 titles). My collection is all over the board, but a lot of it is classical music.
With classical music, I'm having a problem neatly organizing my titles. Often, with classical music, there are multiple "artists" (performers, conductors, etc), but we only have one artist field in iTunes. Of course, I can list multiple artists in the "artist" field, but that makes a mess of things.
I'm not an expert with iTunes, so maybe I'm missing something. Does anyone know a way to get multiple artists entered into iTunes?
Thanks,
Matthew

*Grouping tracks into albums*
Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your library.
The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover, append different numbers of spaces for each different album or set different values for the Sort Album.
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
Sadly the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums which causes problems when some tracks list guest artists. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate this is information about the track rather than part of the song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading prepositions (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track until I reach disc 1.
With classical music you also need to be wary of alternative representations of artist/composers names. The menus will work best if for each composer you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard performer details or place these into the Description field. (I’d use the Comments field but iTunes has a habit of writing long hex strings into it for no readily apparent reason).

Can't use Cloud for photo, graphics, or video. What now?

I work for a federal agency that has a bunch of aging Adobe products. All need updating. We are not authorized to use cloud-anything for this requirement. What options do we have? We have to install the software locally and perhaps have a site license. Are there any options other than using the cloud? Thx.

Adobe still sells CS6 products if what you have is older than that... if not, CS6 is as far as it goes until you hit the Cloud.
You should contact Adobe Support directly to see what options are available to you for licensing.

Delete content, My iPod 4 deleted all my music and videos for the third time. What can I do to stop this?, My iPod 4 deleted all my music and videos for the third time. What can I do to stop this?

iPod deletes all music and videos, I synced it with iTunes, but after some time it deletes again.

To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

IPod Touch 2.0 Crashes 3rd Party Applications, Erases Music and Videos.

I don't know if this has been happening to some people. I hear it's mainly for FW 2.0.1, but I have 2.0 and I'm afraid to upgrade. Listen to this:
It's been over a little over a month since I upgraded my iPod to 2.0. I'm browsing through my apps from the AppStore. All of a sudden I open an application my iPod reboots, crashes. Not only that, but I had to wait at least 4min for the iPod to reboot. It *****.
After it finally reboot, I opened up a 3rd party application, it opens the main screen, and crashes, bringing me back to the SpringBoard.
This happens to all of my 3rd Party Apps.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL: MY MUSIC AND VIDEOS HAVE BEEN ERASED.
When I plug the iPod into iTunes on my Mac, it thinks the iPod still has music and videos on it. It ***** having to restore every single day.
Please help me, anybody. I know this has been an issue for those with 2.0.1. Here are my questions:
-Should I be afraid to upgrade to 2.0.1?
-How can I stop the crashing of 3rd Party Apps, as well as the erase of music and videos?
-Can I do this, so I don't have to restore?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you in advance,

This is happening to a lot of people. Check out the discussions all the way back even prior to August.
No one seems to know the cause but there are many solutions offered to try. You will have to restore or do a full recovery depending on your situation. Again...lots of advice on how to do both in prior discussions.
Do not restore from a back up. Rather, set your ipod up as a new ipod and give it a new name. Begin by loading your music and videos etc. from your stored library on your pc. You'll find your itouch works like new.
Next before loading in any applications, review the app store pages selling each app and determine which ones have bugs and crashing issues they are working on or have corrected in their app updates. I've narrowed it down to possibly Advent, Aurora Feint or Converter in my case. We have over 90 free and purchased apps in our library but we have kept it to a bare minimum or 25-30 apps.
I've also read somewhere in these discussions that the larger mb apps could be at issue with the 2.0 and 2.0.1 updates and something to do with firmware updates? Sorry but I'm not real saavy with the technical side of it but i can tell you that between our two ipod touches we restored/recovered over 16 times from 8/04 to 8/10 because of crashes.
So far we've been lucky and have been up an running bug free for 3 days. Also, one app started acting strange after i tested it upon syncing so i connected back up to the pc and removed it...that's when i checked online and saw it too had crash issues they were working on.
They say you can have as many apps as you want on your itouch, so far i'm not testing that theory again...we're taking it slow and choose only what we really really want on our ipod...some say stay away from the gimmicky apps but we have a few on ours that are still working well, crazy lighter, iguide, itarot, campfire, magic8ball...so trust yourself and those that have provided info as well in previous discussions.
try to find the post from dbmandrake re workarounds for 2.0.1 app install crashes dated 8/9/08...it made sense and got me rolling again.

Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

Has there been a change to manually manage music and videos?

Does anyone know if there has been a change to iTunes with regard to how to manually manage media files?
I am almost positive that in order to manually manage music, books, videos, etc. you selected the Summary tab for your iDevice when you plugged it into iTunes and then you selected sync on the specific tabs for the media you wanted to have control over.
But recently when I did this for my iPhone 4S the check boxes for music, videos and books all became un-checked. So I would re-check music and have to reinstall all of my songs and playlists because this would cause iTunes to want to delete all the songs on my phone. I would then check the box on the books tab and go through the same process of reinstalling all my books. When I went back to the music tab the check box was unchecked again!
When I unchecked the check box on the summary tab to Manually Manage Music and Videos the tabs for music, videos, books, would all be grayed out and unusable.
I played with this for a number fo hours trying to figure out how to get this all to work the way it used to and discovered that by checking the box for Manage Music and Videos on the summary tab and leaving the other tabs un-checked I was able to manage my media files myself (Which was my goal to begin with).
Am I remembering this wrong? Or has the interface changed in iTunes for how to manually manage my media files?

No, iTunes has not changed the way it works.

This is correct (and the way it has always worked).
Because you are not Manually managing the items on the iDevice, you cannot select them on the iDevice.
Check the box to manually manage then drag from iTunes to the device.
Or you can uncheck manually manage, create a few playlists (then simply add/delete from these playlists to change iDevice content) and still drag items to the device. They will show up under the respective tab under Manually added items.
