How to put my iPod classic music onto my iPad?

Hi I was wondering how to move my iPod classics music on to my new iPad. Thanks.

You will need to sync your music via your computer's iTunes, you can't connect an iPod to an iPad for copying music. If you don't have the music on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy music purchased from iTunes from the iPod via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if you don't have it on your computer nor on a backup then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from your iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

How can I reset ipod classic when error message 439 shows?

how can I reset Ipod classic when error message 439 shows?

The easiest solution and apparently the only approved solution via Apple (although a pain if you haven't backed up your device) to restore the phone if you can't figure out the passcode. It will erase everything but if you have a fairly recent backup then you will be fine...you may only lose anything that was added after the last backup. You can also try searching the Apple Support pages and forum to see if there is another solution. Ultimately, it's a plus to a certain degree that there is no easy way to change the passcode....if someone "found" it and wanted to try to get in to it....but it's a pain when it's a situation like yours.

How to connect 2 iPod classics with bluetooth

I am trying to sync photos between 2 iPod classics, iPad4 and iphone 5 with blue tooth. The only devices that are seeing each other is the iPhone and iPad but still hasn't' synced the photos. Why re the apple devices not able to see each other?

Because that's the way Apple have designed it. They have used a particular Bluetooth protocol that is designed to allow audio to be transmitted to Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth speakers (for example) and some peer-to-peer gaming between the devices, but not the transfer of files.
To transfer photos, Sync them via your iTunes programme. If you took the photos on the device, transfer them to your computer first and then Sync them with the other devices. For photos that were not taken on the device, they presumably were Synced from your computer originally, so simply Sync them to your other devices from the computer.
By the way, your subject question: "how to connect two iPod Classics with Bluetooth"...
You cannot. The Classic does not have Bluetooth.

HT1339 how to restore an ipod classic with error 1415

how to restore an ipod classic with error 1415 latest operating system

Hey there beaver17
How are you?
Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
I did the following:
My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
Kind regards

Sync multiple devices - iPod Classic won't

My PC recently died and I purchased a MacBook Air. Over the last couple of weeks I've been working to get all my iTunes items over to the MBA and get things to sync on iTunes, upgrade my device software, and resume normal life...
This has not been as easy as I had hoped, but I have been able to get my iPhone 4 syncing with iTunes and upgraded successfully. I have about 1300 songs, tons of photos, and many music video files showing in my iTunes library and syncing to my iPhone. All is good there so far.
I also have a iPod Classic (80GB 2007 model, that's 5th Gen I think) that I have upgraded and attempted to sync, and a iPad 2 that I have not yet connected to my MBA.
The iPod is my current project. I connected it, and went through syncing to iTunes and the device is now empty. I have "sync all music" checked and nothing is moving over from iTunes to the iPod. I have tried syncing individual songs, artists and playlists with no luck. I even restored the device with no luck syncing it up.
In my iTunes account I see my iPhone 4, iPad 2 and MBA all listed as devices in my Cloud, but of course no iPod classic (what I would expect).
Any ideas how I can solve this sync issue with my iPod classic? How can I avoid the same problems when I connect my iPad 2 and attempt to upgrade and sync to iTunes?

HELP...I have a similar issue. Worried that my music is up in the cloud and if I try to sync to my iPod Classic I will lose the music on it and be unsuccessful adding new music to it. Can someone help us with this? I use my Classic with old Apple speakers for everyday music in the house. Using all up to date OS software.

Unknown Device ipod Classic and Windows Vista problem??

Help!! My ipod Classic is not being recognized by my computer. I have read the previous articles and tried the solutions but I continue to get the result "Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date" I continue to get the error noise when I plug the USB in and the Device manager continues to say "Unknown Device" It seems others are having this problem, how do I fix this?

I am having the same trouble with mine, and I can say that it isn't iTunes, I plugged my brothers iPod Nano in and it worked like a charm, but when I plugged my iPod Classic 160g in all it says is it is an "unknown divice". It isn't Vista either as the same thing happens on XP Pro as well, so all I can think of is it is a error on the Classic itself. I just wish someone can help out so that I can use my ipod!!!! Come on Apple!!!! Solve this problem!!!!

thank you mariquit

Hello Mariquit,
It sounds like you would like to restore your iPod classic to factory settings. I recommend the following steps:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.

How do i copy Ipod classic songs to new computer when it says "Ipod synced with another library" and cannot find that library

Have a new PC and have a classic Ipod with about 6000 songs and had my itunes on an external HD a Maxtor One Touch II. Make a long story short the songs are not in the external HD no more songs. also looking in the C drive of the computer \My Music\itunes does not have the songs. Have checked hidden files so that I can see all the files. To make matters worse the I-tunes program on the external Maxtor was corrupted and the only way to fix it was to download a new itunes. So I wanted to repopulate the library but it appears I am not able to. Can anyone explain to me how I can copy my songs from the Ipod classic back to the library in the external HD?

I have about 6000 songs on my itunes library and i've filtered it down to 4500 on my ipod (so far) that I like and really listen to. I don't really want to go through all of that again...

How do I make iPod Classic import (sync) photos via iTunes so that the photos stay in order by filename and can then be viewed as a slideshow in the correct order?

I carefully number my iPod bound photos so that they are in a desired order by filename. When I sync the photos to my iPod Classic they are not in the same order. A typical filename would be: 001 001 IMG-3489.jpg followed by 001 002 IMG-3478.jpg. Windows uses the first seven characters to order the files and does not care what follows the first seven so long as the first seven are not duplicated within the folder. My iPod ignores that convention. HELP! PLEASE! I want to view my slideshows in the correct order.
Thanks

Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
if it does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
Connect back to the Mac
When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
Sync your library.
Good Luck!

HT1789 how to rename my ipod in the latest version of iTunes as this support answer is about an old version of iTunes!?

How can I rename my iPod in the most recent versionof iTunes 11.0.2?? This support answer is with regard to an old version of iTunes. I'd really like to rename it.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thank you. I don't understand why Apple insists on leaving the old support info up there and every query seems to point to it. Yours was the only useful answer I've found.

How to format my ipod classic

Some time ago, my ipod classic began not being recognized by i-tunes. It does come up as an icon on the desktop, however. I get an error message saying it cannot be repaired, and it is being returned with limited functionality. It says I should do a backup and re format it. How is this done, and has anyone else had similar problems after updating to the latest i-tunes version?

I also had about 80 gigs of space left when the iPod decided to fill up my music files, somehow.
