Hurray I Have A New ipod!!:

I am going to ask a few dumb questions.
How do I use it?
How do I put music on it?
How do I charge it...what device with USB ports can I safely plug it in?
And no it has not arrived yet lol.

It has arrived. =]
It won't sync. }=[
It is because I don't have 10.4.11 and because ipods aren't "designed" to run on older computers/OSs. Because of this, I will not be getting any new ipods because they will not even be compatible with 10.4.11.
As for 1st and 2nd generations, they are compatible but are not available in 16gb. But that is okay. I will look into those ipods. 3rd generation to 5th generation is compatible with OS 10.4.11 which I don't have any problem getting.
newer ipods will need USB 2.0 right???? some apple article on the apple website said that 1.1 would work.
will buying an emac be an acceptable solution????????????
or perhaps g4 laptops?????
I am not ready to purchase apple's latest technology.
Won't be for a while.
I could repair a PC (and put Windows on it since that is kinda what Apple, Inc. is focused on, and if they weren't...then they would make software for other OSs and not just Windows) only for synching purposes. I would not ever connect Windows to the internet.
But this is still a very nice ipod. I will be patiently waiting until I get an emac/power book g4/10.4.11 If I could find a CD version of 10.4.11 I guess I can put it on g3 imacs, but I think the USB 1.1 won't work. =[

Hi Divine Inspiration,
You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

I have a new iPod Touch and one apple ID. I want to use My laptop aswell as my desktop computer for the one ipod, using the same apple ID. I have music on both computers and want to merge the two without losing any music or apps. How do I do this?

My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

HT1351 I have a new iPod Touch......I was able to successfully set up a new account, but I want it to be separate from the 800 songs I already have in my iTunes library. How do I set up a separate library on the same computer?

I have a new iPod touch; I have an iTunes library of music for an older iPod shuffle. I'd like to set up the iPod touch for my wife with a separate library of music - I was successful in setting up a separte account, but it seems my 800 songs are still there in the library. How do a set up a new account on the same computer without bringing along all the music that will clog up her iPod touch?

There's a few ways of doing it. The following document may be of some help:

I have a new ipod nano and have created an Apple ID and provided all of my account details including address (shipping and billing and debit card). When trying to buy music through itunes I am told to review my account details. i.e. I cannot use itunes!!

I have a new ipod nano but at the moment I am unable to download music through itunes. I'm so disappointed. I have created an Apple ID, reviewed and inputted all of my data for my account and still get told to 'review account' because my ID has not 'been used with Itunes before. Why is this happening and why don't apple have a more intuative way of dealing with this.
Please help, I am completely frustrated.

You'll either have to redeem an iTunes gift card, or create a new ID by following the directions here:

I have a new iPod Touch, so how can I deauthorise my "old" iPod Touch before giving it to my brother or husband?

Thank you.

Are you just trying to deauthorize it from your iTunes account, or do you want to totally erase it?
Your iPod touch is not actually authorized to anything other than the computer you sync it with; it is not authorized with the iTunes store the way your computer is. Giving your iPod to someone else won't give them your store info. Once they plug it into their own iTunes, it will force them to erase the whole thing in order to sync it with their own computer.
If you want to wipe the thing clean before giving it to them, plug it into your computer and choose the option to Restore it. (Or on the device itself, to go Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.)

I have a new iPod Touch and PC running Windows 7. I want to upload pictures from my PC to my iPod. The best I can do right now is to create a new subdirectory on my PC and put all the pictures I want in that subdirectory. I want many subdirectories! ??

I have a new iPod Touch. I also run Windows 7 on my desktop PC. I have tried to post pictures from my PC to the iPod. But the only way you can do this that I know of, is to create a subdirectory on the PC and put all of your pictures that you want on the iPod in that subdirectory. Then you must use iTunes to synchronize the PC subdirectory with photos on the iPod. But I want many subdirectories to organize my pictures on the iPod. Can you do this??, it doesn't look to me like you can!??
Thanks Tom

Yes.

If that's not a real email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Hi Powell73,
Your iPod Classic will most likely work with Standard Definition (SD) video content. You may find the following articles helpful in that regards:
