HT1491 How do I get my ipod to download itune from windows pc

I have an Ipod Classic which is linked to an old mac from my last work place. I have downloaded some tunes from ITUNES on my new work PC which
is Window XP. It will not allow me to use IPOD to transfer tunes from this PC as my IPOD is formatted for a MAC. Can anyone help ??

This really isn't an iTunes Store question and would have been better asked in the iPod classic forum, but anyway, you'll need to reformat your iPod to use it with Windows. See:

    When I want to get an app, an error message comes up saying I need 3.0 software update.  How do I get my ipod updated in itunes, when itunes says my ipod is already updated?
    OR if I cannot update to software 3.0, how can I find apps that will work just for my ipod touch?

    It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, in which case you can only upgrade to iOS version 3.1.  Here is a link to purchase the update.

  • HOW DO I GET MY SONGS BACK TO ITUNES FROM IPOD?

    I recently had an incident with my Macbook which lead me to erase and reinstall Leopard. Obviously everything whats erased including my itunes songs. All of those songs are still on my iPod, so how do i transfer them back into my iTunes? I have the same login info and account. Shouldnt it recognize my iPod and allow me to just drag the songs back in? Help is much needed... thank you to all!

    1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    expod Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    YamiPod Mac & Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Cant get new ipod to download songs from my itunes

    Hello,
    I have just gotten back a 3rd replaced ipod. the previous 2 were stuck with the exclamation icon folder when i connected to my computer to download songs from itunes, and i tried everything but cd not restore them. I no have a new one and am afraid of not knowing where to start for the fear of running into the same problems with the previous 2. i hope someone out there can give me a guide to preventing this...i.e. how do i start and the steps i need to take to ensure i do not run into the same problems this time

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • How to fix applepushservice.dll issues for downloading iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit

    I recently had iTunes crash on my home PC, Windows 7 64-bit.  I have tried several attempts to uninstall and reinstall the program and it still does not work and I receive error messages.  The latest:  The program can't start because ApplePushService.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.  Problem is, the articles that I have seen state this is an Unknown source and my firewall will not allow it to be installed.  The original error was a Windows Error 7 (registry & .dll issues).  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • How to download itunes from windows vista to mp3 player

    how do i download itunes i purchased from windows vista pc to mp3 player? is there a free download i need to install in my computer

    The Music you purchased from iTunes are AAC (m4a) format. Depends on whether your MP3 player will support this format. Otherwise you can convert thses AAC format into mp3 format so that you can transfer those mp3 files to your MP3 Player.
    Go to Itunes menu, EDIT > PREFERENCES, GENERAL tab. Go in IMPORT SETTINGS, under IMPORT USING, select MP3 encoder, then OK and OK.
    Right mouse click the song(s) in music library will give you a Menu to select CREATE MP3 version.

  • How do I get my ipod to download the movies I bought off of itunes?

    I redeemed "Les Miserables" with the code that was given for a digital copy. It said that it was itunes compatible and my ipod has had videos on it before but now it doesn't seem work anymore and none of my movies or music videos show up. It plays on itunes though and the format of the videos is MPEG-4 and the movie is protected MPEG-4. I tried to look for some of the advice that previous users have recieved but I can't seem to find anything with this updated itunes.

    So, you've sync'd your ipod and the movie does not transfer?
    If its not transfering try:
    1. Click on your device
    2. Click on the "Movies" tab
    3. If "Sync Movies" is unchecked, check it.
    4. If you don't want all of the movies in your library sync'd just uncheck them below.

  • How do I get back info tab in itunes in Windows 8?

    Just upgraded laptop ( now Windows 8) and tried 2 versions of itunes (the latest and an old 10.6.1.7 version) and on the music interface when click 'get info' for a track the 'info' 'video' and 'sorting' tabs are transparent and unable to click on them.
    I use the info tab regularly to update personal stuff for tracks...and now it can't be used in Win 8????
    Help anyone?

    Looks like the info tab has been returned. You still can't sync notes but maybe that is a work in progress. Hopefully another update and the ability to sync notes will be available.

  • I have a MacBook Air and an iMac, how do I get the music on the iTunes from my iMac to be on the MacBook Air??

    i've tried using the Migration Assistant and it was supposed to download the "applications" "settings" and "others files and folders" but I can't find them anywhere in the MacBook Air that's why I can't find the music either

    If you created an account on the MacBook Air before using the Migration Assistant, it'll create a new one for the migrated files. You can also use an external drive or network to move the iTunes folder in the Music item of the Finder's sidebar over.
    Rented movies can't be moved through these methods.
