How to make a switch if i plug my ipod to other computer ?
Hi everyone,
I have an ipod which already contains a lot of songs. I would like to plug my ipod to my new computer which itunes is installed without any song.
My problem is, i know when i plug my ipod to the computer, the itunes will warn me my ipod does not belongs to the music lib, if i click change, all my songs will be lose, but if i click no, i can't access my ipod. So how can i access my ipod in my new computer without losing all my songs ?
Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
However it appears that no playlists will transfer.
If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.

I've been deleting information I don't want in the "Sort..." fields (like getting rid of "Deluxe Edition" markers, etc.), but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted. This only happens for a few artists, and it's the same artists every time this happens. How do I stop it from doing that? It makes it measurably harder for me to control the organization of my library.

Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself. However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?
that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes. -
Recently, U2 music appeared on my ipod without my requesting it or wanting it. I was able to delete all of the songs except for one. How do I delete the last one from my ipod? The song does not show up in iTunes when I plug my ipod into the computer. The version installed on my ipod is 7.1.2(11D257).

When I plug my ipod into my computer the computer dosnt read it and I get a messege saying that the device is drawing to much power. How do I solve this problem???
I had the same problem with mine when I connect the ipod when it's full charged and turn on. The problem never happen when the ipod is charging or i'ts full charged and it's turn off. So just turn off your ipod down and connect to your mac again.

Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing. -

When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen. (never gotten it wet or had it exposed to extreme temperatures) It is also unresponsive to any buttons on the ipod and it didn't show up when i plugged it into my computer. What do I do? Also if it is unfixable could i get a free one from apple?

How to make 2 clients on same VLAN communicate to each other when tunnel-loop-prevention is enabled?
Requirement:
How to make two clients on same VLAN communicate to each other when tunnel-loop-prevention is enabled on tunneled-node configuration at controller?
Whenever we enable tunnel-loop-prevention on controller while we configure tunneled-node, the communication between two tunneled-node client on same VLAN is blocked or dropped.
If the tunneled-node clients are of different VLANs then they can communicate between them even when the tunnel-loop-prevention is enabled on the controller.
Solution:
To make two tunneled-node client on same VLAN to communicate between them, we need to enable "local-proxy-arp" for the interface VLAN on the controller.
Once it is enabled now the tunneled-node clients on same VLAN can communicate between each other.
Configuration:
To enable "local-proxy-arp":
Get to the interface of the VLAN on the controller
Example :
(config)#interface vlan 5
(config)#ip local-proxy-arp
To enable tunnel loop prevention on controller
(config)# tunnel-loop-prevention
Verification
Show commands:
To check if tunnel-loop-prevention is enabled or disabled
#show tunneled-node config
Tunnelded node Server: Enabled
Tunnel Loop Prevention: Enabled
To check if local-proxy-ap is enabled:
#show interface vlan 5
Look for in the output "ProxyARP enable"streetfi8er wrote:

Unknown HostOK, I'm no socket programming expert; but I can see a few potential problems with what you've written.
1. First off, which line is line 88? Line numbers would be useful. Also, indenting your code properly would make it easier to read.
2. Your 'while(!str.equalsIgnoreCase("close"))' will always fail with a NullPointerException because 'str' is initially set to null.
3. Your 'while(true)' loop worries me. How does it exit? Relying on an exception is usually very bad practise.
4. You are not handling SecurityExceptions. While it's unlikely to happen on your machine; it could easily happen on another.
5. It might be worth indicating the actual exception thrown in your "Failed to accept client" message. accept() can throw three different types of IOException.
6. All the threads you create will be called "New THREAD", which doesn't provide much value.

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized. The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect. The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable. When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine). There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo. Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue? I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
