HT1766 Can I back up my Ipod classic ......

Can I back up my Ipod classic to my Itunes before I get a new battery tomorrow?

Not everything on my Ipod classic came from my computer. I have gotten a new computer several years after the purchase of my Ipod classic back in 2006. So my ipod has a different playlist than my Itunes library. Alot of it is the same, due to my taste in music, but alot is not on my itunes library that I would like from my Ipod Classic.

  • How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic.  ITunes wiped out all my contacts and there is even no place for contacts any more on my macBook.

    How can I get my "contacts" back on my iPod classic.  iTunes wiped out all my contacts from my iPod classic and now I no longer even show a place for contacts on my computer when I plug in my iPod.

    You don't download iTunes by connecting your phone to iTunes and yes of course, by syncing your phone with your husbands computer, of course you will have lost all your stuff and you will have his.
    When you connect to iTunes, you sync.
    To get back all your things, then you need to sync your phone to the computer that you used originally to set your phone up - if this is your computer, then connect your phone to that and sync it with iTunes on that and you will get your stuff back, but when you connect to iTunes you sync and don't download.
    Ringtones should download automatically to your phone and if not, if you are getting them on your computer, then download them to your computer with your iTunes on and double click to get the MP3 file to open in iTunes and then sync your phone to your computer and you will get the ringtone on your phone.

  • HT1351 I have an Ipod classic which was the original device connected to Itunes.  I connected an Iphone 4S and can no longer see my Ipod classic.  How do I once again get it connected?

    I have an Ipod classic which was the original device connected to Itunes.

    The right way to consolidate your music is to copy it from one computer to another. You can copy music from an iPod classic though:

    When the music is all in the same library, sync the Touch.
    You will still need to authorize your computer to play purchased music. For that, use the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

    That link seems to be broken.  It does normally lead to a solution. For the time being go to
    http://www.google.com/search?q=ipod+classic+disk+mode
    Let your mouse hover over the link until you see the option appear on the right to view the cached version Google contains:
    Putting iPod devices with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode
    If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
    If you have an older iPod model, without a Click Wheel
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod, all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
    When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you have an iPod nano (6th generation)
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode,  verify that it has a charge.
    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.

  • Can I charge my 2013 ipod classic with my original ipod classic firewire charger?

    Nope, I'm sorry. iOS/iTunes only (you need a connection to your network, and the iPod classic doesn't have network capabilities).

  • TS1372 What else can I try? My Ipod classic stays in restore mode. I have done each step listed above, some of them several times. Is my Ipod toast?

    Anyone have an idea what I can try to restore my Ipod classic. I have followed each step listed in the support manual. Some of them several times. Each time I try and connect, it prompts me to restore, which I do. It then gives me the error 1439. What does this mean?

    Check if your iPod is toast by doing the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2
    It wont fix your problem, but help in troubleshooting.

  • Why Can't I Update My Ipod Classic to 2.0.5

    Dear Apple
    I have heard that there is a 2.0.5 version for the IPod Classic but when i go to itunes and click on check for updates
    it says 2.0.4 is the latest version why can't i update my ipod classic is there a problem please help me beacuse i dont
    understand it Thank You.

    I am posting here in case someone can enlighten me.
    My wife recently acquired an iPod classic 160 GB (MC297 – 2.0.4) and because of the volume cap imposed by EU, this it is not enough for me. I want to buy one too but with firmware 2.0.5 were I can chose to remove the EU volume cap.
    The problem is, not only Apple doesn’t let you upgrade 2.0.4 to 2.0.5 but they also do not print on the box what firmware comes with the iPod that’s inside.
    Also, most shops will not just unsealed the iPod for you to confirm what firmware are you “buying”.
    I have been into a shop with an iPod on firmware 2.0.5 on display and the serial was 8K….ZU which by doing a search on Apple’s website, it was made late 2009. My wife’s iPod serial number starts and finishes with the exact number/letters, thus also being “late 2009” but with 2.0.4 firmware.
    In other words, while I am aiming to get an iPod with the 2.0.5 firmware, it seems virtually impossible to be absolutely sure what are you getting inside the box.
    Does anyone know what serial numbers are comprised the iPods with 2.0.5 firmware.
    Also, the model of my wife’s iPod 2.0.4 is MC 297 QL/A. Does anyone knows what the “QL/A” stands for? I seems to remember that the iPod on firmware 2.0.5 being a QL/C but in can’t remember for sure.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

    What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

    Hello laurie0823,
    already have ipod 32 gig and just go ipod touch 8 gig can i use both on same itunes account?
    Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or library.
    if i hook up ipod touch will i lose all of the stuff in library or can i sync library to ipod touch?
    No you can sync your content to any number of devices.
    Simply, plug new iPod in, configure it to sync with iTunes library however you wish and be on your way.

  • Can I back up my iPod with music from an old computer on it then restore it to iTunes?

    My old computer died and all of the music on my old computer is still on my iPod. I turned off the automatic sync and have it set to manually manage songs and videos. Can I back up my ipod to the computer then upload those songs to the iTunes? How do I put the new music that is on my computer onto my iPod without wiping out the songs on there already?

  • How can I activate my old iPod classic?

    I thought that my iPod classic had been stolen a while ago and eventually went out and bought a new one. Now, I have found the old one - it had slid down behind a rather large piece of furniture in my house and needless to say, I'm thrilled to find it. I want to give it to my daughter.
    But when I try to activate it by plugging it into my MacBook Pro, iTunes doesn't seem to recognise it. What can I do about this? Also, I am not sure if I have the registration number anymore. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you,
    Paddy O'Dea

    There is no need to activate old iPod, it just need to be recharged, if the battery is still in working condition.
    Try this, it wont delete any music in your iPod, the critical step is charging the battery.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours) ( for the first 30 minutes, there wont be any sign of life on the iPod screen)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

  • Can't transfer video to ipod classic

    I recently added 6 new videos to my Itunes library. When I tried to manually transfer them to my Ipod Classic only 1 of the 6 shows up on my Ipod. When I drag any of the other ones over it shows the little green plus sign, but never has the spinning circle that shows it's adding it to the Ipod. All of the videos are the same format and all will play through itunes. I tried resetting the ipod, but no help. Any suggestions?

    I figured it out. I went to play the video directly from iTunes rather than trying to transfer it to the iPod. I got a message I am not authorized, just like before. But this time it asked me if i want to authorize it. I clicked yes, obviously and voila...successful authorization. Now I can play it on my computer and iPod. Sorry for wasting everyone's time with this.
