How can I get my iPod to also sync songs in my computer's Media Player?

How can I get my iPod to also sync songs I already have in my computer's Media Player? Thanks in advance for your help.

If the WMA files are "unprotected", iTunes can convert them when you add them to your library. It should do this automatically.
See: How to add songs from your hard drive to iTunes.
If not, see: How to convert a song to a different format using iTunes.
However, iTunes cannot convert "protected" WMA files.
The only way to convert these files would be to burn them to an "audio" cd and import that into iTunes as you would any other cd.

  • How can i get my ipod touch to sync with my mac & itunes?

    I've already restarted and reset ALL of my settings in my ipod touch. I even erased all of my music, if that helps. I' ve updated my itunes to the latest version twice. I've restarted my mac numerous times. My ipod touch will not sync at all. It won't even show that it's charging when i have it plugged into my mac. I've also used 2 different USB connections (wires) & none of this has done the job. Help please.

  • How can I get my iPod to shuffle the songs far more?

    Hi there,
    On my mate's PC where she has an older version of iTunes, she has the option under 'Preferences' where she can set the shuffle to less likely, normal or more likely. As a result, she's now hearing tunes that she hasn't heard in ages.
    I tried this when I got back, but my iTunes (version 8.1 odd) doesn't have this option, only the ability to mess around with cross-fading and volume limit etc.
    Any help would be much appreciated as it seems like I'm always listening to the same songs!
    Thanks a lot.

    There's no way to change the shuffle settings on the iPod. However, you can create a Smart Playlist where one of the parameters would be Last Played not in the last 7 days (or whatever duration you choose). Be certain to check "Live Updating". When you sync your iPod, the new playlist will be added. As songs are played, the "Last Played" is updated and you should not hear that song again for at least 7-days (or whatever duration you choose). Each time you resync your iPod, the playlist will be updated automatically (songs that have "aged" will be added, songs you have played will be removed).
    Now all you need to do is turn shuffle on, choose the new playlist, and you are good to go.
    A side note, I may be wrong, but I believe the shuffle setting you are referring to only applies to iTunes and to the iPod.

  • How do i get my ipod classic to sync with my new computer?

  • How can I get my Ipod to play on someone elses computer?

    How can I get my Ipod classic to play on someone elses computer.  Not my home computer where my library is stored?

    The simplest -- and safest way for both sides -- is to use the same sort of cable you use for the AUX port on your car -- an min-jack to min-jack cable. Plug it into the headphone plug on your iPod, and connect it to the Line-In on the friends computer. This eliminates any risk of your iPod being detected by iTunes on your friends computer and getting corrupted, and also elimates any risk of malware attempting to corrupt the iPod. If you are worried about battery, simply connect your iPod to an external charger when you do this.
    When I'm at work, I never connect my iPod to my work computer. I just use an external speaker. The iPod is only connected to its primary iTunes, and then I only update that iTunes when it is absolutely necessary.

    Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

    For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • How can i get my ipod toout of the white screen

    how can i get my ipod off the white screen

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

    How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

    she only needs to do that if he needs to change the format. For example if she recorded the clips via her  phone and it's not in a format iTunes will play.  For example if I have a .wmv iTunes won't touch it until I convert it. She could also be talking about video that she recorded on a DVD camcorder that burns the video to a DVD not a memory card. ITunes doesn't convert everything.
    She's transfered the clips to her ipad and the ipad won't play them. So she needs to get them to a m4v or mp4, and you use format converters for that. Not apps but something on the computer.
