How do I save music tin order to add storage space to my Ipod?

How do I save music in order to add storage space to my Ipod?

"if backed up the music on a Mac could I then re-load the tracks from it once the ipod has been formatted for Windows?"
Yes you could, Macs can read Windows formatted iPods. If you only have the songs on the iPod, and have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was 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's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well.

  • How can I save music that has been sent to me via email on my iPad.?

    How can I save music to my iPad that has been sent to me in an email? Please help

    You can't save it to the Music app directly on the iPad, you will need to see if there are any third-party music apps in the store that you allow you to copy music from Mail to them. For the Music app then only way to get music into it is via the iTunes store app directly on the iPad and by syncing from your computer's iTunes.

  • How do I save songs in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder

    How do I save songs in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder?  Is this done via settings somehow?
    Stated another way......songs recently added to my music folders in the iTunes libary are not updated in the media library automatically.  How do I save songs in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder?
    Still another way......I'm trying to backup songs in my iTunes library by dragging them into a flash drive.  But I noticed that not all songs are included in the iTunes Media folder from which I am making my backup file.  Is there a better way to do a backup?  If not, how do I get the iTunes Media file updated to include all songs in my iTunes library?

  • How do I save music from iPod???

    If i have to restore my iPod and i want to save all the music on it... how do i save that music so that i can restore it and then put my music back on to it???

    Put it back in iTunes, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then 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. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

    There is also a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    You should also consider making a proper back up of all your music from your computer. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes

  • How do I save music from iTunes to SD card

    How do I save a playlist from iTunes to a SD card for my daughter's Nintendo DSi?

    Thanks for the fast reply.  I converted the songs to ACC format.  When I select them all and drag to the SD card in the Finder window it just goes right back into iTunes and nothing is copied.  The songs were all from CD's I had that I put into the iTunes.  I have the SD card in a reader and it shows up in the devices section, am I doing this wrong?

  • How can I take music from an USB and transfer it to the iPod? It tells me use use itunes to sync but the music is on an USB drive. It had worked in the past. Tks

    How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

    These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.

  • How do I download music on the new version of iTunes? My iPod is connected to my computer but when I would drag the music to download it on my iPod, the side window does not show up anymore, therefore it seems to not be connected to iTunes. HELP!

    So ever since I downloaded the new version of iTunes, I have no idea how to add music to my iPod. On the last version, their was a box next to the iTunes Store box that said "_______'s iPod". Because I just used to drag my music to the box and add it through there, I have no idea where I would "drag" my music file now to add it. Simply, I just need to know how to add music to my iPod again in the most recent version of iTunes on my computer (11.1.5).

    Cntrl + S will enable the side bar.
    Then you can manually manage media on your iDevice as you always have.
    Alternatively, control the content on the device by syncing the playlists and other media that you desire to the device.

  • How come I buy music and can't get it on this stupid ipod

    How come half my music is in that stupid cloud goofy thing and i can't get the music i bought to go on my ipod?

    Well, your post is not going to get you any help since it does not specifically describe your problem. Since both the iPod and iCloud are "stupid" and we aren't certain why, there is little we can do to help you. Perhaps taking some time to read the user manual would be helpful:

    Also, maybe reading up a bit on iCloud would also help:

  • HT1296 How do you sync music from your library on your mac to your iPod?

    This is my first ipod that I have ever had.  I got my mac about 6 months ago and downloaded music onto my itunes on my mac along with syncing cds that I had and putting them on my itunes library.  I just can't seem to find a way to transfer my music that I have from my library onto my ipod.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod.... and follow the instructions.

  • How to configure local disk on OVM Server as storage space to create VMs

    Hello,
    We have installed OVM Server 3.1.1 on a machine that has 250 GB of Hard disk space [Single disk].
    While installing used an option - Remove all partitions and create a new default partition layout.
    Around 4GB has been used and remaining 246 GB is left as free space.
    From OVM Manager - the server is discovered but didn't discovered the physical disk [i.e. remaining 246 GB raw disk space].
    Can someone help me to understand how to use local disk as storage space for creating and running VM's.
    Thanks
    Srinivas

    You can? You've used every conceivable BIOS out there? You must really be full of yourself. There is absolutely no BIOS that I know of that gives this basic function. BIOSs do not "hard partition" anything. A "BIOS" is not made for such things. Do you even know what "BIOS" stands for?
    I wonder why there is some many wanting to do this and are having problems.... I mean if it is such a straight forward thing to do..... It must be down right "intuitive".
    You maybe speaking of a RAID "BIOS" but you obviously think you're not. Some motherboards have integrated RAID abilities. Intel RST comes to mind... BUT this isn't a feature of a MOTHERBOARD BIOS.
    I've got some $50,000 servers that will not break a single hard drive up into multiple logical drives..... Now, I haven't worked on a "Stinkpad" for many years. Don't want to. However, I have never seen one that would do what you're saying you're doing.
    You maybe trying to help.... but you're leading people down a wrong path.
    Its just as easy to run virtual box and use the virtual box templates for Oracle VM. In fact, its more practical if you want to run Oracle VM on a laptop for testing purposes than blowing everything away and attempting to setup different LUNS on a single hard drive.
    For your review...
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/configure-vm-templates-1656261.html
    Although it's more reliable to use a separate location (such as an NFS share) for a storage repository, you can use a local disk of your Oracle VM Server instead, thus taking advantage of the local storage option. Beware, though: Oracle VM Server 3.0 doesn't allow you to utilize the unused space on the physical disk it's installed on. For local storage, you'll need at least one more physical disk. In other words, you'll need a total of two disks at minimum on your Oracle VM Server host if you want to use local storage. In practice, though, local storage is not a primary use case. The major downside to this approach is that local storage, by definition, cannot be shared between different servers.

  • How Do I Save Tab Bar Order When Customized? Using Storyboards.

    Anyone out there who could really explain to my how i save the order of the tab bars when the application terminates, making them stay in the order when the application is re-launched? I have been all around the web for this one, and I can´t find a explenation that really explains how to do it. It would be really awsome if someone out there could help me with how I could solve this, really explaining where the different code should go. Keep in mind that i´m using storyboards!
    Cheers

    That URL is part of a support thread; I'm not sure why you are getting that error.
    Google's search preference ([http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=425 Support Answer 425]) relates to what happens when you click a link in your search results page: whether it loads in the same tab or a new tab (or new window, if you don't divert new windows to tabs). So that's useful, but it doesn't address your request.
    The short term workarounds are:
    * If you usually search by pressing Enter, hold the Alt key to launch the search in a new tab -- setting the preference '''browser.search.openintab''' makes the Alt key unnecessary
    * If you usually search by clicking the magnifying glass icon, hold the Ctrl key to launch the search in a new tab or "middle-click" the button -- as far as I can tell, there is no preference to do this automatically
    Some tab-related add-ons might solve this problem. I saw one blog post saying Tab Mix Plus will change the magnifying glass behavior to always open in a new tab.
