How do i get songs when I have not used the classic ipod in a while. I plugged it in and nothing happens

i have not used my clasic ipod for a while. I plugged it into my computer and nothing happens. I dont see a page to get songs from

You may want to attempt a restore to the iPod Classic since it has not been used in a long time and then attempt syncing of the content.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the articles below. The first two articles have the same content, but are geared towards either OS X or Windows.

Ipad2 does not change orientation. I have not used the switch for lock rotation it is used for mute

Ipad2 does not change orientation. I have not used the switch for lock rotation it is used for mute

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, and as you've got the switch set to notification mute, then have you checked the taskbar (the function that the switch isn't set to is controlled via the taskbar instead) : double-click the home button, slide the taskbar to the right, and it's the icon far left.
If you havn't got the lock symbol at the top then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hi have been using the classic for 4 years, of late whenever i load more than 4000 songs the ipod crashes and shuts down. till 3800 songs there seems to be no problem. do ipods have a finite life?

the classic ipod has crashed 4 times in the last 2 months. till i load 3800 to 3900 songs there seems to be no problem. but after that it just crashes and instructs me to restore to factory settings. just want to know if ipods have a finite life and need changing after this. i need urgent help at least if that is true i can save the trouble of loading songs every other week
thanks and regards

Yep, iPod classic has life of about 2 years before the hardisk, starts to suffer from arthritis.
Here is a excellent post on iPod diskdiagnostic by regular tt2.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2362776?start=0&tstart=0
You can also look into getting the iPod hardisk replaced by SSD/Compact Flash, just google "iPod SSD replacement" or you can search in youtube, on how to do it yourself, if you got steady hands and hawkeye.
SSD Capacity is expensive,
Have a nice day!

Should I unplugged my A Extreme daily when I'm not using the mac?

Should I unplugged my A Extreme and my Mac daily when I'm not using them?

Only if you want to save electricity. Otherwise it is not necessary. If anyone else is using the WiFi from the Extreme, it won't be available if it's turned off. Maybe that is not an issue.

How do you get songs back that have been lost in a computer crash?

About 2 months ago my windows had crashed. We fixed it and everything but noticed that all of the songs from my account disappeared. The file name was there but the actual song would not play. If i am to click on one it would say this.
The song " anything" could not be used because the original file
file could not be found. Would you like to locate it"
It would have an option where you could click yes or no. The first time it happened, I clicked on the yes and it would have me browse through all my files, of course none of the songs found. I have all the songs that I really wanted on my ipod nano still. Is there a way to load these songs back on the computer? Some of the songs are from cds as well as purchased from itunes.

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources 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. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these

My macbook storage keeps getting filled when i have not downloaded anything

In the last two days my macbook storage appears to be getting filled. I have no idea by what because i have noe downloaded anything. How do i fix this?

I have the same problem ever since I bought my new MBP Retina 13", 128GB SSD. Summed up I have 120GB that I can use for storage (I can see that for example in iStat Pro or in the Activity Screen). I don't know if that is normal in the first place, since the SSD is 128GB?
Further, I only installed: iWork '09, MS Office for Mac and Coconut Battery. Nothing else is on my MBP yet. It is 'empty'. Oh yes, my MBP is working on Mountain Lion.
Now when I check the storage free space it is saying 89GB . What happened to the other 39GB ! Oh well, minus the programmes I have installed (6,75GB). Let's say what happened to the 30GB?
Yesterday it was still saying that I had 90GB left for storage use. Today is has already decreased to 89GB. In the mean time I did nothing, except surfing around on this Apple Support Communities and tried to find information with Google search engine. So, Safari was the only programme that was on.
Maybe it has to do with something downloading or 'saving' data automatically? I have no idea.

How do I get iTunes to keep playing (radio) when I am not using the compute

How do I get iTunes to keep playing - radio or CD - when the computer is otherwise idle? It cuts off after about 5 minutes and goes into sleep mode. thanks,
Vlasta

Hey vlasta4444,
It sounds like you'll want to change the time it takes for the computer to goto sleep from System Preferences> Energy Saver.

HT1459 How can I download songs that I have purchased onto a new ipod?

I have lost the ipod that I have loaded songs on, I have a new ipod and was wanting yo know how to download the songs that I have already purchased onto it.

Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time. You can see what content you can download here:

Then you can sync the tracks to your new iPod. For more information on re-downloading, see:
