I have a new iPod and want to use it with my iTunes Library

I have a 60 gb and it is full. I want to keep this iPod and use my new Classic iPod 5th for Audiobooks. How can I had do this and not loose my music, movies, and audiobooks?

You will not lose anything. The new iPod will be recognized as a separate device. It can be configured completely differently than your existing one.

  • I have my iTunes Library on and external hard drive.  I have a new computer and want to use iTunes and KEEP my files on the external drive.

    My iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and I was able to access / add to the library from my windows laptop.
    I now have a new laptop, and want to be able to KEEP the library on the external drive while being able to use iTunes from the new laptop.
    I have selected "choose library" in iTunes, and have chosen the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
    My media populates in iTunes on the new laptop version of iTunes, but when I click on a song iTunes says that it cannot locate the song.
    Your help is kindly appreciated!

    Thanks.  Were the settings shown in your last screenshot in force when you added the song that's shown on being on the C: drive?  It is also possible that at some point you ran iTunes with the external drive disconnected, in which case it will have defaulted to the library on the C: drive, or that you've run iTunes without explicitly selecting the library on the E: drive.  To make sure the latter is the case, hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes, then when you get this prompt:
    click on Choose Library..., navigate to the location of your current iTunes Library.itl file, and click Open.
    Part of your issue may that its not obvious where that current database file is located.  The folder layout on your E: drive isn't the one that's most easily managed - so its possible that the database file could be in:
    E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes
    E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes
    E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes 1
    I suggest that a lot of your issues can be addressed by reshaping your library into the reliable "portable" layout as described in tt2's Make a split library portable user tip.  Comparing your screenshot with the equivalent on my system (where I have a "well-formed" library on an external drive):
    where:
    there is just one iTunes folder with everything used by iTunes inside it
    all media is held within subfolders of the iTunes Media folder
    The way you have yours set up, where the iTunes Media Folder location is set to E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes rather than E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes Media is probably why some of your media is not being located correctly - the extent to which iTunes can correctly resolve locations is, to an extent, reliant on the folders for the different media kinds (Music, Audiobooks, etc.) being inside the iTunes Media media folder.  One common misunderstanding (not helped at all by Apple's documentation!) is that the iTunes Media Folder location setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced does not tell iTunes where to find anything; rather it determines where iTunes will put new additions to your Library, in conjunction with the Copy files to iTunes Media folder ... flag:
    I would definitely take the time to work through the steps to bring your library into the "portable" shape - there may be few remaining issues with broken links when that's complete but this will be much easier to fix if your library is in a more standard structure.

  • I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 All in One and to use the "Fax"feature I need a phone port on computer and of course, this computer does not have one.  Are there any aftermarket devices for USB to phone that would work in this case?

    I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 "All in One and cannot use the fax feature because there is no phone port is there a solution for this?BACellli

    You don't need a phone port on the iMac. The HP 7300 DeskJet Pro has an internal modem, you connect the printer's modem connection directly to your phone line. Please re-read the install directions that came with the printer.

  • HT1386 I have a new iPhone and want to purchase a ringtone on iTunes.  It keeps asking for answers to a question that I did not set up and don't have the answer for.  How do I get pass this dilemma?

    I have a new iphone and want to purchase ringtones from itunes.  Itunes is asking answers for security questions I did not set up and I can't answer them.  How do I get past this to be able to purchase.  I can purchase songs on my MAC and sync but itunes doesn't give the option to purchase ringtones on the MAC, just the iphone.

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I have a new ipod and want to know how to tell if it is fully charged?

    I have a new ipod shuffle and want to know how to tell when it is fully charged?

    The light would eventually stop blinking and would be a stand-still green if your iPod is fully charged.

  • I just bought a new ipod and I'm trying to download my itunes library and games but itunes is not recognizing my new ipod. I have followed all the instructions from apple asistant except deleting and reinstalling itunes.  What can I do.

    I bought a  new Ipod (5th generation).  I am trying to sync it to my itunes.  I tunes does not recognize my new ipod. It is registered.  I was only able to download purchases I made from my old ipod.  I cannot download my itunes library or any of the games I have purchased. I tried using the troubleshooting guide to no avail.  The only thing I did not do was to uninstall and reinstall itunes.  I did update it to the latest version. How can I get  itunes to recognize my new ipod?

    - You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
    - Have you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You should
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Your library/media will not be affected.
    - Does the iPod charge?

  • I have a new PC and I am getting the message "The iTunes Library File cannot be saved.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  I am the only one using this PC and I have Windows 7 Pro and have an administrator account.  Help

    Can anyone help me with this problem.  ITunes message," The iTunes library file cannot be saved.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."   I have administrator account and transferred files from old PC.  I downloaded new iTunes program on new PC.  I synced my iPhone to new PC, no problem.  I deleted old account after indicating shared files to new admin account.  Can anyone help?

    A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
    I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
    I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

  • Getting a new mac and want to use both with iTunes

    I looked around the forums and the main site a bit and didn't see anything specific on how to do this, but I am currently using iTunes with my macbook and I have all of my iTunes content on an external hard drive. When my new mac arrives I first want to be able to use it as the primary device for iTunes (still want to keep content on the external drive) and need help on how to set it up (preferably w/o losing any content especially my iPhone backup) and if possible I want to be able to stream iTunes content to the macbook with the same account.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm not exactly sure if my library database documents are on the external or not. I do know that I just have my entire itunes library on the external. Any way I could check to be sure?
    your entire iTunes folder, not just the iTunes music (or media) folder, should be on the external. the iTunes folder contains, among others, the *iTunes library file* - which will be the database both your Macs need to access. click here for information.
    And if not, how do I go about moving the documents to the external
    just drag & drop them over. next, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes with the option key pressed. you will see this window
    click on +choose library+ and navigate to the +iTunes library file+ (which should be located on the external HD inside the iTunes folder).
    As far as using the macbook with iTunes I guess I'm looking for a way to share the music with it after I have setup the new mac to be the main iTunes machine. I know there's the option of Home Sharing in iTunes so is that all I need to do?
    home sharing should work okay. click here for information.

  • I have a new ipod that I would like to share my itunes library with. Is this possible?

    Can someone help me and give me an idea as to whether or not is possible to have multiple Ipods and a shuffle share the same Itunes library on the same computer.  I attempted to drag the music on my itunes to another IPOD and it will not allow it.  Please help.  Thank you.

    Just plug the iPod in and open iTunes. It will the iPod will show in the devices section of the iTunes sidebar. Click on the iPod go to the summary tab and set you syncing options. You can do this for as many iPods/iPhones/iPads as you like.

  • Hello I have a 4 yo mac desktop..I bought a new iphone s and wanted to use it with my itunes. It required the new version of itunes be downloaded to my mac so I did so but when I try to install it it requires version 10.8 or better?

    Hello,
    I have a 4 yo mac desktop system unkown i downloaded latest version of itunes for use with my iphone5s but when I try to install I get an error message reads" requires ox 10.6.8 or better be installed?....stystem update check shows no updates available.....help

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer.  See the end of this post for options.
    If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (if you don't already have it -- OS 10.6), but check system requirements first:
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After installing, or if you already have some lower 10.6 version, run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

  • I have a new computer and want to use it for my IPhone - it wont just plug

    I have upgraded to a newer PC What do I need to do to use my I phone with it. I thought I could just plug & play when I accessed my apple account on line!  Help

    Perhaps you could explain what the issue is?
    You sync it the same way you did with your old computer.
    When you sync to a different computer, it will first erase the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer, so make sure to copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer to the new one first.
