I have an iPod of rock and pop tracks which i generally use on shuffle mode. Now I have a second iPod to store classical music. If I plug it in to my pc will it duplicate my rock and pop or will it register as a different device?

I have an iPod Classic with rock and pop tracks on which I generally play in shuffle mode. I have now bought a second iPod Classic to store and play classical music as I don't want to shuffle rock with classical. What will happen when I attach the new iPod to my pc? Will it register as a new device with an iTunes file of its own, or will it duplicate what I already have on the original iPod?

You can attach the second iPod and configure it to sync whatever content you like without affecting the first iPod.  I would take a look at this article for different ways to manage multiple iPods on one computer.

  • Right now my ipod is set on 'music'. When I push the menu button, it will not go back to the main menu's, but I can still go to all the music and play it.

    Right now my ipod classic is set on 'music'. When I push the munu button, it will not go back to the main menus, but it will still go forward and select and play music normally. I tried resetting it by holding the menu and center buttons until the apple logo appeared, but the problem is still there.

    If your battery level is low, recharge it first for at least 2 hours, preferably 4 hours.
    After the Apple Logo, you release the buttons, what do you see on the iPod screen? (language selection?)
    Have a nice day!

  • After updating to iOS 8.1.2 it asks for a passcode, which I never used, such that I now have an $800 paperweight!

    I recently updated to the iOS 8.1.2, but after rebooting, the iPad demands a passcode, which was never used on this iPad. I cannot bypass the passcode question. It is now an $800 paperweight. Apple support of course wants money for the obviously poor code in their update!  Currently I am trying to reset it to factory settings, losing almost everything I had on it, since it was not properly backed up. However, it seems stuck on enter passcode, even after resetting it!
    If anyone else has a solution to this, would love to hear from you. How does Apple get away with this stuff? (I dare them to be honest and post this!)
    Other ideas?

    Hmm, I did receive an email saying that the thread was deleted, but did not explain why for some reason. It sounds like the Level 7 guy caused this. I will call Apple tomorrow to find out who is responsible. And see if I can lodge a complaint against that user. Maybe it was because of what the Level 7 guy was saying.
    There was useful information posted in that threat that addressed the issue that I am experiencing. I will try to reiterate from the apple website, it says.
    Recovery mode
    If you've never synced your device with iTunes, or haven't set up Find My iPhone, you'll need to put your device in recovery mode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    This will erase the device and its passcode.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then "slide to power off" to turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button and plug the device into your computer. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on. Don't release the Home button.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    If iTunes doesn't open automatically, open it. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK. Then restore the device.
    If your device doesn't go into recovery mode, try steps 1–4 again.
    They suggested that I try this over again until it works. It did not work for me the first time.

  • I am very new to ITunes my questionis when I purchase a song and download it to my computer how many differant devices can I download that to??? I have Iphone , Ipod,  thinking about I pad

    I am new to ITunes.  My question is when I donload and purchase a song to my computer...how many devices can I download that song to ie: IPhone,Nano, IPad.

    There is no limit to the number of iOS devices you can sync content to.
    The only limitation is that you can only store and play those songs on up to 5 computers at a time.

  • If my  ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

    if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

    All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account.  I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
    *I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding.  You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum.  Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

  • ITunes 11 and Classical Music: a catastrophe!

    Been plyaing around with iTunes 11, and I am sorry to say, listeners of classical music should absolutly avoid this update. The usual setting on iTunes 10 form classicla music is to have the composer on the left column followed by the grouping. This is impossible in iTunes 11. Worst, it's almost impossible to sort your music by composer, and completly impossible if your viewing a playlist. The ONLY way possible consists of selecting Music Library, and in this view, you can see the column browser. Its workable, but incredibly poor, and takes away any interest any classical music listener might have in switching to this version: the big advantage of iTunes 11 is how colorful it is, but this view is drab as heck, almost sovietic in its colour scheme!
    Obviously, the new iTunes has been designed by people who have absolutly no clue how to classical music works. That's fair enough, we're a minority among all music listeners. I still hope Apple will correct this. iTunes 11 is a very average update in general, and a catastrophe for us. Please, make an effort, this is supposed to be your flagship software for all your iPods.

    Individual downloads over 20MB require wifi.  It can't be changed.  Like all things in life, there are limitations.

    When your phone connects to cellular data or wifi then the prompts will work.
    If you have a passcode on your phone you should be safe.
    Also since you're on IOS 7 - the thiefs or anybody else won't be able to use it.  iCloud: Activation Lock

  • My computer will not register my Ipod Touch

    When I plug it into the USB Port, I can hear the sound of it acknowledging the insertion but it will not register as a new device.  Nothing shows up on the task bar in ITunes or My Computer.

  • Why cant my ipod touch 4g play music with headphones?

    my ipod is not playing music when i plug in headphones but it works when i dont have headphones..i need help

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • 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

  • Managed accounts in Mountain Lion have no access to App Store?

    My son who uses a managed account now has no access to the App store, this happened after updating to Mountaion Lion.
    If I convert his account to an administrators account it works fine, switch it back to managed and the problem returns even though the boxes are configured to allow him access.
    How do I fix this?
    Appreciate any help.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Here's what to do:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

    I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
    You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings
