How to play ipod on different computer than the library computer

I want ot use new / different computer to play ipod contents. I can see the contents but it is all greyed out.

you will need to have your ipod set to "manually manage songs and playlists" in order to play songs off the ipod through the other computer's itunes.
these resources might be of some assistance:

  • How to play Ipod on another computer

    I want know how to play my I pod on another computer without losing my music or movies.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Syncing Music to iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • How do I set a different folder than the Windows MyDocuments/Downloads folder? I do not use 'My Documents' at all, all my saved files go to other hard drives for storage, and I do not want to bother with the My Docs route. I used to have downloads set to

    I want to set a different folder from the My Documents/Downloads folder for Firefox to put everything I download, like I used to have it. I recently rebuilt my computer and reinstalled everything from WinXP to security software to Firefox, and I cannot find any options anywhere to set a different folder like I used to have it... with the same software, other than it being a newer iteration of Ff. So tell me, am I losing my mind so bad that I just can't remember how I did it before, or have things changed so much that what I want is no longer possible? Please, someone tell me how to set it to do what I want, I can't stand to have what I do on my computer dictated by programmers who only think that they know what people want. If that sounds a little angry, I apologize with the disclaimer that I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and therefore cannot handle frustration... and this kind of thing frustrates me to the point of rage.

    Tools > Options - General tab = Downloads

  • HT5517 how to play dvd on my computer on apple tv

    how to play dvd on my computer on apple tv

    Welcome to the Apple Community Jorge.
    Firstly you will need your Mac to support Mirroring...
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
    AirPlay Mirroring from a Mac also requires a fairly robust network.
    Then you will need to use a 3rd party DVD player such as VLC since the Apple DVD Player software doesn't permit AirPlay Mirroring.

  • How can I make a link a different color than the other links according to the current page?

    Hello.  I have created a navigation bar.  And I would like to style the links to have the current page link a different color than the other links.  For example, if all of the links have a black background, I would like to have the current page link to have a white background.  The reason that I would like to style them this way is so that the visitor knows what page is being visitied.
    I tried different ways but all of them did not show to make any change to the links.  This is what I have so far.  The links work, but all of them have the same color and background.  When on the home page, I would like to have the home page link to have a white background with black letters.  I would appreciate your advice.

  • How to I extract my music from an iPod and add it to the library if it's not linked to the original ID anymore?

    I have an ipod previously linked someone else's account. We used to share the library and they used to update my iPod for me. Now I have my own ID and laptop with iTunes. How to I extract my music from the iPod and add it to the library ?  At present, I cannot do it because I am not authorised on the account the music was orginally purchased on - but I have my iPod still.
    Is there anyway for me to extract the music files from my iPod and download them into my new iTunes library and using my own Apple ID?
    Help!  I paid for most of this stuff but they left with their computer and now I can't even update my iPod!
    Thanks

    Unless you want to learn more than most of us want to know about being a good geek, you'll need a third-party software utility to do that. CopyTrans worked well for me when I moved songs from an old iPod to a new computer for a friend.
    So 1.) set up your (PC?) computer with iTunes, 2.) get something like CopyTrans which imports the stuff from your iPod to iTunes on your computer, 3.) make sure all the files from your iPod got copied, and then 4.) set iTunes to be the Mother Ship, which will then write all your old and future stuff to your iPod.
    Make sure you've 5.) tested a backup strategy for your iTunes library going forward, because Apple would prefer you'd buy everything again from them. iTunes no longer has a good, native backup utility.

    She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article.

    However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first.  There are several ways to accomplish this.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

  • Is it Possible to move the Dropdown Menu to a different layer than the rest of the menu?

    For design reasons I want the dropdown part of my menu to appear as though it is coming out from underneath the banner of the menu. The best way I can figure to do that is to have the dropdown part of the menu (that occurs on rollover) be placed on a separate layer from the main banner menu. Is this possible? I have tried unlocking everything and moving that part to another layer and haven't been successful. Please help this gal out! Thank you!

    I'm still confused as to how I can do this exactly. I have used the tool tip widget to create my own drop down menus. However, I cannot put the trigger point into a different layer than the layer with the drop down menu. How can I make the actual word "accommodations" into the trigger point for this menu? I tried moving the trigger point from the widget over the Accommodations, but in order for the drop down to come out from under the banner, the trigger is under it as well. I've also tried ungrouping them, but I am not successful. Please give me further detail as to how this works!

  • Can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

    can i lock an app on my iPhone with a different password than the one i use to lock my phone?

    This should work; one of my e-mail accounts is my own domain through Gmail.  Make sure your username is set to your full e-mail address (like [email protected]) rather than just your username.
    Did you set it up on your iPhone as an IMAP account, or as a Gmail account?  It should work perfectly using the Gmail setting.  It can work as IMAP, but you need to jump through a few hoops to get there.

  • SQL SERVER 2014 - Project consistency check failed. The following inconsistencies were detected: package.dtsx. has a different ProtectionLevel than the project.

    I am getting the following error when I right click on a package in solution explorer and execute using SQL Server 2014:
    Project consistency check failed. The following inconsistencies were detected: package.dtsx. has a different ProtectionLevel than the project.
    Luckily my solution only has 10 packages.  I have verified and re-verified that everyone is set to dontsavesensitive.
    I have verified and re-verified that the solution has the protection level to dontsavesensitive.
    What on earth is going on here?  I am using windows authentication and have no need for the package to save any sensitive information, nor should there be any.
    Can someone please help me out here?
    The Degenerate Dimension

    Hi MMiligan,
    Just as the error message said, the exactly issue is that the package package.dtsx has a different ProtectionLevel property value than the project.
    So please double check the value of project ProtectionLevel property, like DontSaveSensitive, then make sure all packages in the project use the same ProtectionLevel value.
    If there is still an error message indicated that some packages use a different value, please right-click the indicated package to select View Code, then make sure there is a line like below(the DontSaveSensitive
    protection level corresponds to the value of 0):
    DTS:ProtectionLevel="0"
