How do I use ipod 5th classic with new itunes

how do I use my old ipod classic 5th generation with the latest itunes software?

The same way as before...
If the new look of iTunes is confusing, it may look more familiar to you if you show the sidebar.  It is hidden by default to streamline the look and feel.
From the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  With the sidebar not hidden, iTunes mostly works like it did before.

    how can i use my apple ID with the itune store over my windows laptop

    If you don't have iTunes installed on your laptop then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can then log into your account on it via the Store > Sign In menu option (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can get the menus to show via control-B) :
    And you can then select the Store on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then browse items in the store and buy them by clickin on their price.

  • New computer--do i erase ipod and sync with new itunes library?

    I downloaded itunes on my ancient pc and that's where I synced my ipod. i finally put that pc out to pasture and now have a new laptop. i downloaded itunes to the new computer, and when i hooked up my ipod i got the message "the ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library?" So do I want to erase and sync or not? I'm scared I'm going to mess everything up if I erase it.
    One more question: my daughter got a new ipod; once i figure out this syncing issue with my existing ipod, do I need to set up a new account for the new ipod, or can i sync it with the account i already have?
    sorry for all the questions--I'm a newbie and want to get this right. Thanks for your help!

    Hello. I recently had to restore my computer (as if it was new due to, to many viruses) Afterwards itunes was still there but the music i have on my ipod was not previously purchased through itunes but they were on my computer and placed in itunes library and sent to my ipod. Well after restoring my pc, itunes opened up when i connected my ipod and it asked me to update. So i updated to itunes 10. Now it is telling me that this ipod is registered to my fiance' and it is running off a different itunes library, and that I would either need to erase and sync to the new library in itunes 10, or transfer to itunes 10 library. I tried transfer and restarted itunes, but it just asked me the same questions again. It wouldnt let me create new place lists either. im scared to erase bc i have so many songs i wont remember what there all were to go back and download if it actually erases all my current songs or applications. I assumed when itunes updated to itunes 10, it would update with all my information. And although the ipod is registered in his name or however he did that, I also have sum form of account with apple/itunes because it uses my email address and my credit card during purchases for this ipod (his name is just there). i dont understand what I am suppose to do to fix this problem. These songs are still on my computer and the program where i downloaded them from but since i had to restore the whole computer, its like they are probably hidden files and arent being detected i guess. I really dont know. I have been reading and I see many ppl with the same issue. Any suggestions that wont cost me anything or a little of nuthing to resolve? I heard of Tansee Ipod Transfer but it charges you to move your files from your ipod, into a folder, to your computer, and then to be added to your itunes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks...Lana

  • How do i use iPod and Nano with external HD?

    I just bought a Nano and i already owned an iPod. I have my iTunes library stored on an external LaCie drive. I've figured out how to sync the iPod to the drive, but can't figure out how to get my music onto the Nano. Can't find any kind of help in the manuals. . ..
    I also can't figure out how to manage my music on the external drive. So i can't create playlists or do anything except in the Finder window. Should i install iTunes on the drive??
    Can someone please take me through it step by step. I would also like to know how to keep a separate window for the iPod and the Nano.
    thank you for your help.
    Cat

    Hi Cat,
    From the first part of your post I get that you have iTunes working on your computer and you have your songs on an external drive. But do the songs from that external drive show up in iTunes? If you type apple-I (get info) on a song and look at the summary, does it list the external drive as the location of the songs? If so, I'm not sure why you can't manage your songs. Let me guess that your iTunes doesn't show the external drive at all.
    If iTunes doesn't show the music from the external drive, then you should go to iTunes preferences advanced and uncheck Keep Organized and Copy files. Change the Music Location to the folder on your external drive. Then go to the folder on the external drive and drag that into iTunes so that it can catalog the files. You should then see all the song files in iTunes and you should be able to mess with playlists and such.
    Now, plug in the Nano and set it to Manually update in Preferences. The Nano should show up in the Source column on the left. Grab the songs your want from your library and drag them to the Nano.
    It could be too much or too little, or just the wrong stuff. But I hope this works for your situation...

  • How Do I transfer ipod library over to new itunes library

    I recently got a new computer so i lost everyting in the transfer.  I have windows 8 and I am trying to move all the songs from my Ipod to my new library.  When I go into the music tab on itunes it says it will delete everything on the Ipod and replace it with the few songs in the new library.  It still shows me the songs on my ipod in the "on this ipod" tab but I dont know how to sync it

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    You may be able to purchase a third party program to get the music - not supported by Apple.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Us eyour backup copy to move everything to the new computer.

  • IPod not working with new iTunes

    As soon as I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, it stopped recognizing my iPod. iTunes says the iPod is synced with another library and it's not. I even erased everything off the iPod and synced it up again just to be sure, and when I plugged it in a second time, it gave me the same error message -- iPod is synced with another library. Please help!

    ok so i did what ya said and put it into disk mode but still nothing comes up in itunes or mycomputer.
    okay, it's possible that you've got a defective unit there.
    you'll still be within your 90-day complimentary support period for that, and there's information on that here (click the "Contact support (Click for more)" link above the "Hardware Repair Options" heading):
    Contacting Apple Support and Service
    ... but it might be easiest to just arrange for a return. see:

    If headphones work then if the car's plug is fully inserted into the iPod, that is all you have to do with the iPod.

  • How do I use Downloadthemall add-on with new edition of Firefox?

    I installed the new edition of Firefox, but now am unable to use Downloadthemall application. Please advise.

    Does the rest of the extensions list look accurate, and are the enabled/disabled groups correct? I wonder whether your extensions database has become corrupted. In the past, I have seen instructions to rename or delete certain files in your Firefox profile (settings) folder, but rather than copy and paste here, I think it's better to wait for someone more familiar with this area.

  • IPad & iPod sync issues with new iTunes

    Since the latest iTunes update,
    1. My iPad Mini won't allow me to swap out TV episodes. I routinely change what episodes to carry around with me. It will add and remove mp4 video files without a problem. One time I even saw a download progress bar as it transferred episodes over, or so I thought.
    2. Syncing my iPod Touch never used to be a problem. Now it takes a long time (delays during waiting for items to copy), and I cannot seem to bring songs I purchased on the device over into Windows. It used to do it before the main syncing.  I tried to download the new songs from the iTunes Store but it halted and says the following:
    "There was a problem downloading -name of song-. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
    What's going on? I really need to bring these songs over to my hard drive.
    Thanks for your help.

    Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks. It worked fine for me until I used iFuntastic and Apptap. I guess it alterd the backup file and deleted all my notes. So, unless you have "hacked" your phone it should restore and re enter your info fine.

  • My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account.  How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

    My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account.  How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
