How do I gift an iPod AND have the recipient import songs to their iTunes?

I would like to buy an iPod for someone as a gift and set it up with a playlist of songs I buy online. Will they be able to easily import the songs from the iPod I give them into iTunes on their computer?
(Windows environment)
Thanks!

This is against the rules according to the way Apple has set up iTunes purchasing. Best to buy iPod then give it to them along with iTunes gift card.

Ok, so I want to buy the new iPod touch 5g this week and I have an iPhone 4. I want to transfer all the data from the phone to the iPod and have the files the exact same. I don't want to redo data, say erase game data (campaigns, achievements)...

I have apps that have very important data on them and if I sync it to iTunes and then transfer all that data to the iPod Touch 5g, will that erase app data?

How to send a group email and have the recipients hidden?

How do I send a group email and have the recipients hidden?

I have a new OSX 27" iMac that is running Maverick.
RE: group emails, I am trying to omit individual recients and have tried the following options without success.
1) Mail- Composing- checked "Automatically- Bcc"
2) Mail- Composing- unchecked "when sending to a group, show all member addresses"
The result is that all names continue to show up with email addresses for group emails.

"Itunes can not connect to this Ipod. An unknown error occurred." I get this message when I plug my Ipod touch into my Imac. I have restored the Ipod and have the latest Itunes. I have tried different cables and a macbook.

I have an Ipod touch 8GB, an Imac and an apple laptop. I have had this Ipod for years and it has been synced at different times to my Imac and laptop. Recently the battery ran way down on my Ipod. I plugged it into my Imac. After it charge I had to restore it. After I restored it Itunes couldn't connect to it because, "An unknown error occurred". I tried to connect it to Itunes on my laptop and got the same error message. I have tried different USB cables. Since Itunes won't connect, I can't do another restore. I don't know what do try from here.
Some additional info that might be related to this. Just before this Ipod problem came up I crashed my hard disk on the Imac. I had to erase it and reload all my stuff (I was able to copy the contents to a hard drive connected to my laptop using the firewire - I couldn't use time machine because of the crashed HD.) My Imac has been restored to the latest Itunes - I am running OSX 10.6.8.

Thanks for the help Ricky.
I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

How do I get my ipod to download the movies I bought off of itunes?

I redeemed "Les Miserables" with the code that was given for a digital copy. It said that it was itunes compatible and my ipod has had videos on it before but now it doesn't seem work anymore and none of my movies or music videos show up. It plays on itunes though and the format of the videos is MPEG-4 and the movie is protected MPEG-4. I tried to look for some of the advice that previous users have recieved but I can't seem to find anything with this updated itunes.

So, you've sync'd your ipod and the movie does not transfer?
If its not transfering try:
1. Click on your device
2. Click on the "Movies" tab
3. If "Sync Movies" is unchecked, check it.
4. If you don't want all of the movies in your library sync'd just uncheck them below.

I had my own laptop with my own iTunes account on it. However the laptop is now broken. My partner has his laptop but his already got his own iTunes account. How can I sync my iPod and iPhone to this laptop but use my iTunes?

Can we both use the same iTunes but get all our music ect into one? Or can we share our separate accounts between devices? We both have iPod touch, iPhone 4 and an iPad each. At the moment I can't seem to get to my iTunes as it come up that it will delete everything in my phone/iPod but u have downloaded things to the devices directly and don't want to lose that?

Hello Miss,
To set up a new Windows user account, if it is Windows 7, go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > Add or Remove User Accounts > Create New Account.
The old laptop is probably on Windows XP, so the menus may look a little different.
Once they each have their own Windows user account, they can each work with their own iTunes library, and all content will be independently managed. That should avoid snarls and demerits in the coming year.

How can i tidy up folders in windows explorer and have the new names etc recognized by itunes?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have spent quite a while searching how to do this...
For example: In Windows Explorer, 2 different R.E.M. cd's have come up as different artists names, R.E.M and R.E.M_
Although in iTunes they are both displayed correctly, there are many, many other examples.
One more - a Celtic Box set with 4 cd's... 1-3 are in a 'Various' folder, and cd 4 is in a 'Compilation' folder.
It's not the end of the world, but it's driving me a bit mad, as my ocd is starting to kick in!!
Does anyone have any tips please?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to AD!
Is your new laptop Vista, and the older desktop XP?
If so, they have different paths to the default library.
On XP, it's c:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
On Vista, it's C:\Users\ username \Music\iTunes\iTunes Music

Have you considered using CSS styled text/list menus instead of image rollovers. It isn't hard really and it's actually a much better choice for web accessibility and for search engines to find and follow your links. Here are some links to several CSS menu systems you can try:

I cant find my ipod and have no more apple things to find it.

hhhhhhhhllllllleeeeeeeepppppppppp

- 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.

How can I remove my company's iCloud Contacts account from a former employee's iPhone and have the current information removed as well?

How can I remove my company’s iCloud Contacts account from a former employee's iPhone and have the current information removed from their iPhone at the same time as well? Will just changing the iCloud password be enough? Our company shares an iCloud account for convenience but when someone leaves we don't want the information to stay on their iPhone.

Changing the password would only block them from accessing the iCloud information. They would still have access to the local copy on thier phone. To delete the local information, you would need to go to Settings>iCloud on the phone, tap Delete Account, then choose Delete from My iPhone. (This only deletes the iCloud account and data from the phone, not from iCloud.) This, obviously, must be done during the exit process as it requires access to the phone.

How to track my stolen ipod only using the serial number

I had my iPod stolen from me sometime within the last week. I changed my iCloud password tonight & I was just wondering if there is any way I can track it using the serial number because I did not set up "find my iPhone" before it was stolen. It was not locked (the password when you first turn it on.) Please help me! I still have one year warranty on it too. Can anybody tell me how to go about fixing the problem? I have serial number if you can track it that way. Please get back to me with your responses asap . thx

No. The SN will only help idenitfy the iPod as yours if it is recovered.
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- 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.

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
PodPlus Windows Only
Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy with, they are generally quite straightforward.
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive through Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
You may already be using the iPod in manual update mode in which case you can ignore the rest of this post. In manual mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased. However if you are getting a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, click *No*. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list. Change the update setting in Preferences>iPod to "manually manage songs and playlists" Managing Your Songs Manually
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, on Windows, hold down Shift + Ctrl. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box.
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

I have an ipod touch 8gb model number MA623LL. How do I install apps on my ipod? Is it capable of transferring/running apps? Why doesn't my ipod touch have the basic-beginning app on the beginning screen after i erased/wiped my ipod and started new?

Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod. For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
