Help with itunes/ipod

My iTunes is not working properly. It is not showing that my iPod is connected.
My iPod continues to show the Do not disconnect display. How do I eject it if it does not show up on itunes?
If I have accidently disconnected it while it was showing the do not connect display, what do I do?
I tried to reset the ipod but it would not reset.

Ok, I guess I messed up more than I thought. After my iTunes froze and quit responding, I reset my computer. I thought it was ok to disconnect the ipod. Now, the "do not disconnect" screen is still being displayed. I tried to reset the ipod, but that didn't help. The ipod is not shown on "my computer." Now what should I do? Thanks!

I had a similar problem there is lots of free software, sorry cant remember the exact one I used, but start with typing "How do I transfer mucic from i-pod to pc" into google and that will set you in the right direction, it will basically allow you to drag the info back from your i-pod onto a specified location, it is a long process I had about 45 gig to do and in total it took about 16 hours to complete, however when you consider the alternative it is a no brainer really

Please Help with Itunes/Ipod issue

So I got given an Ipod touch for my birthday and it says i need itunes to use it, so i try to go to apple site to download itunes and the site will not load. I tried both the UK and US sites. Infact I cannot get any page to load up other then the UK sites home page. So this is making it kinda difficult to get itunes and get my ipod working and its **** annoying as i am left with a present i cant use.
I know its not my PC at fault as i have tried other computers and the pages still dont load.
Does anyone know where i can download itunes from or even why the site has not been working for the last week?

yep just tried your link and the page just doesnt load, i have sat here for 5 minutes on the same page waiting for it to load and nothing.
It does the little swirly loading thing in the corner of the tab to say its loading the page but it doesnt actually get there and finish it.
I have tried 3 different browsers on 4 different computers and also asked a friend to try on theirs to see if they can get to it and they cant either, so it cant be the computer, something must be up with the site.

Help with itunes/ ipod problem

My computer crashed windows xp, I had to download the new version of itunes, now my ipod still has all the song that I loaded in.I want to reload the songs to itunes without loosing all my songs. The last time I did this my itunes was empty and it erased all my songs from my ipod,Is there a way that I can get ipod the reload the somgs without itunes erasing everything? Almost like a palm,download ipod to itunes. Thanks
Windows XP

Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.

Andrew,
The iPod and iTunes are not compatible with Windows ME and the minimum requirements are Windows 2000 with SP4 or XP with SP2 (although I use several iPods and don't have SP2).
If you can't upgrade to one of these, then you can use the iPod with ME if you are prepared to fiddle around a little. However, you won't be able to use iTunes.
See this.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME
You can use iPods purchased in the USA here in the UK. Our family uses 3 such iPods.
You can also use the iPod on any number of computers as this document explains.
Using iPod with multiple computers
Whoever gave you you all this wrong info deserves to be shot!
Just one more thing Andrew. Please start your own topic in future instead of jumping in an interrupting someone else's with an unrelated query. It's know here as "threadjacking" and is against the discussions Terms of Use.
Good luck with ME!

You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

HT1349 How do I get help with Itunes when I dont have a serial number for a Mac because I am not using a Mac???????

I just want to get some help using itunes. I have downladed music - paid for music, and can't get it into itunes. When I used th e'support' thing it just wanted to know my Mac serial numbers!! I don't have a Mac I hace a standard non Mac PC. So why can't I get help with itunes? Its taken me half an hour to get into this support thing because every single name I chose was taken!!!! Its just a nightmare. I hate it!
And now it tells me I must 'choose a community' and itunes isn;t listed! It gets worse! So I chose any community because this is just a never ending nightmare. 40 minutes ago now I clicked on support for itunes and I ended up here!

Thanks again. I bought two albums. I've no idea what I use to open a zip file. I just tell it to open and it ususally does but this time Windows media player won't do it!
I am in the UK and its 23.43 so I have to give up and go to bed now. As I said I have had no probes with Amazon downloads. I did email CD baby for help but they just sent the links that you offered earlier.
I have tried to burn to CD so I can listen that way but though I go through all the motions I can't add the tracks to the burn list by copying and pasting, and I can't 'drag the tracks here' beacuse the tracks aren't showing, just the whole album folder. It looks like this:
SO02294360-catherinefeeny12-mp3 (1).zip
file:///C:/Users/User/Downloads/SO02294360-catherinefeeny12-mp3.zip
Show in folderRemove from list
Have to give up for today and go to bed but your responses are very much appreciated. Thank you

What generation of iPod touch do you have? If you don't know, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
If you have an first-generation iPod touch, it can only go to iOS 3.1.3 and hence will not run the Facebook app. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, see:

Serial number: C02KJ0xxxxxxx
Technical Support says is Expired ???
3, Can can tech support be expired on a 3 day old machine?

I'm in Thailand and cannot call your support number. Its the number is incorrect.

First, have you moved or renamed the iTunes or iTunes Music folders, or any of the folder or track files in those folders, since iTunes last worked correctly?

My friend needs help with her ipod

My friend needs help with her Ipod. Here's what happened. She connected her Ipod to a casette adapter and the ipod just froze. She started doing the reset but to no avail. What do you think cause this? She really needs help so if anyone can suggest what to do that would be greatly appreciated.
I don't specifically know her ipod but I think that it is the Ipod 30gb.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
She needs to reset her iPod by holding down Menu and Select for 6-10 seconds...
Resetting iPod
It may take several attempts. The above link also has "tips" if the iPod does not seem to be resetting.
If she has tried many times, along with the "tips" and the iPod still won't reset, then she will have to wait for the iPod's battery to die and then she can charge it back up and it should work fine. The iPod should reset though.

Help with syncing iPod to iTunes

Alright well, over the past few days I've had the problem where my iTunes wouldn't open AT ALL. I mean, nothing, no error message or anything, and then other problems. Finally after clearing out my registry and viruses I managed to get iTunes to open with no problems except one: when I plug my iPod in to sync, it now says that I do not have the required software on iTunes to sync the iPod. I don't know the problem, honestly, because I uninstalled and installed it again. Has anyone had all of these problems or at least the syncing one, and do you know how to help? Thank you.

Using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
A better option to use when your iPod is smaller than the iTunes library is 'Sync Music - Selected playlists'.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano or Mini). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:

Help with itunes and ipod

I want to copy some songs from my ipod to my pc, but I don`t know how to do it.
My ipod isn't syncronized with my library and I don't know which other way to do it.
I just downloaded iTunes 7, but I think there area few bugs.
The PREFERENCE window is way to big and I can't save hte changes.
please, if anyone can help me!

"I want to copy some songs from my ipod to my pc, but I don`t know how to do it."
If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are 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. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
"I just downloaded iTunes 7, but I think there area few bugs. The PREFERENCE window is way to big and I can't save hte changes"
Click on the chevron > to the left of the iPod icon in the Source list. This will display the various icons for the iPod itself, Music, Movies, TV Shows and Playlists. Click on Music and you'll see the traditional song view with the information at the bottom.

Help with iTunes Playlist and iPod!

My first problem is that my Recently Added playlist disappeared and I can't figure out how to add it back to my list of playlists!
And secondly, when I plug in my iPod into the USB cord into my computer, it connects with iTunes but then a Yahoo! Music Player automatically opens with it.
What can I do? Thanks!

wow ... I get a headache just trying to read what you just said. I went and read how to migrate my library and found that you can only migrate purchased media.
No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.
