How do I put a podcast on a iPod mini?

OK, back in the old days (this morning) I had an iPod shuffle. Worked great except that about every third time I turned it on I had to hit various volume-up, pause, play, forward, back, off, on, off, on, volume up four times, etc. to get it to start playing. But the one thing I could do with it was to plug it into my computer, open up iTunes, find the podcast I wanted and drag it over to the iPod. It would sync, I could listen, life was good.
Now I'm the owner of a beautiful iPod mini. I plugged it in and it immediately tried to load everything from my computer onto it's 4G hard drive. I poked at the screen and finally got it to stop and now I'm trying to figure out how to get one podcast on it. I drag the podcast, but it won't let me drop. How do I get my podcast onto my iPod mini?

You could change the setting to manually manage songs and then make sure you have enough space for the podcast.

    How do i put a moovie on my ipod touch? do i have to use a speacial program or sumthing?

    You'll have to add this movie to the iTunes library and it has to be converted into a supported format for the iPod.
    There is an option for that in the Advanced menu in iTunes.
    If you can't convert in iTunes, you'll have to look for 3rd party software doing this for you.

    As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

    Apps and many other purchases are tied to the iTunes Store account via which they were purchased. So if you buy the app, that app is tied to your iTunes Store account. Without that account information, the child could not update the app nor back it up.
    I'd also suggest giving the child an iTunes gift card or gift certificate along with the iPod. If the child is too young to have and manage his or her own iTunes Store account, then his or her parent could set up an iTunes Store account to purchase the apps. That could be done with that gift card and not need a credit card. You can also gift specific apps, though again that would require the child or a parent to open an iTunes Store account through which to redeem the gift. For more information on gift options, see:

  • I had my computer worked on and did not back up my itunes library.  how do i put the songs on my ipod back to the itunes library

    I had my computer worked on and did not back up my itunes library.  Now the only music I have is on my ipod.  How would I put the music on my ipod back into my itunes music library?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You should always maintain a backup copy.  This is very important.

  • New itunes, no old itunes. How do I put the music on my ipod onto my itunes

    I recently had my computer cleaned out. When they clean it out, they clean it out. They ended up having to remove my music folders to clean it out. How can I put the music on my ipod onto my new itunes? Is there a way I can do this?
    Thank you.

    Hey there,
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead. Hope this helps.

  • How do I put my music from my iPod Touch to iTunes on my computer?

    okay, I read a lot of questions in a similar format but nothing has helped. Here is my situation and what I have done.
    I have an iPod Touch and my computer crashed, I had to restore my system completly. I thought I had backed up my iTunes but I did not back up all of my content. However, the music I did not back up are on my iPod. How can I put my music from my iPod to my iTunes WITHOUT erasing my music I have on my iPod? Some of the music on my iPod I do not have anymore so I can't erase my music I have on my iPod.
    I tried to "authorized" my computer/iTunes to my iPod but a pop up came up and said my computer was "already authorized". I also tried to back up my iPod but that did not do anything. I also went under iTunes and checked marked "manually manage music" but nothing works.
    What can I do?

    Tranfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

    "i want to know will yamipod copy everything to my itunes from my ipod like playlists and the name of the ipod , settings etc"
    Yamipod copies music (including playlist). Your settings are stored on the iPod and will not change. That includes the name you gave it which should show up in iTunes whenever you connect the iPod.
    Yamipod does not transfer play-counts, ratings etc.
