I have an old 30gb iPod & it's taking hours to synch. How can it work quicker?

If it previously worked much faster, there may be data corruption on the iPod's hard drive. The best thing to do is to Restore it using iTunes. Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. Click the Restore button. This will ERASE (reformat) the iPod's hard drive, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings. After Restore completes, re-sync content from your iTunes library.
If you don't want to erase it, because it has content that is not backed up in your iTunes library, please post back...
NOTE: If this problem is caused by a mechanical problem on the iPod's hard drive (not just data corruption), it is possible that the Restore will fail, and your iPod will become non-operable.

Try updating the iPod. Yur 1G can go to 3.1.3 by:

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

I have playlists on my original iPod but are not in the library. How can I move them from the iPod to the library?

She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos. With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article.

However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first. There are several ways to accomplish this. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

HT3965 i have an old phone backup but named the same as current phone. how can I rename the older phone backup?

i have an old phone backup but named the same as current phone. how can I rename the older phone backup?

I'm about to buy a new phone. last time when I had repairs, I have to restore so I can get my numbers, etc on the new phone, and when I do, there are two phones with same name (actually in 4 lines). I restored from the one that came up, but it turned out not to be the most current information. So I'm told I can rename the others (dont' know if deleting can be done) so that I always know which one to choose. When restoring, it does not show the date, so I don't know which one to choose.

IPod and Mac OS9......Can It Work?

I have an old imac with an operating system of 9.2. I plan in the near future to buy an updated computer but before i do that i would like to get all of my 800 songs that i have on my old computer's itunes software onto a new ipod. I have read that the only way that an ipod can sync with an imac is if the imac has isync software, software which is available only to 0S 10.x users.
Does this mean that i cannot get all of my files from my itunes (which by the way is version 2.0.4, the latest version for my operating system) onto an ipod? If this is the case, does anyone know how i can get my files transfered to my other computer, or somehow trick the system and get them on my ipod. I cannot fathom the idea of me just throwing out 800 songs with my computer. I have to have that music. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT SHOULD I DO???????

I've been trying that too. First, what model iPod do you have? Clickwheel? Mini? Video? Nano? (or older?)
Is your iMac running? If so, there are ways to copy the files.
I also have an iMac - the 400 mhz iMac DV SE from 2000, running 9.2.2, iTunes 2.0.4.
I've never had any luck with using the IPod as an external HDD for copying files (of any sort) to/from an OS 9 system. I don't know exactly what the issue is. I've formatted my old iPod Clickwheel (4G, 20gig) as a Mac iPod. No luck, via USB or FireWire. I tried Windows format. No luck either.
Note: This is after enabling iPod as a disk - via the iPod's preferences pane in iTunes.
The iPod shows the "Do not disconnect" symbol when attached to the iMac, and System Profiler notices it, and shows it as an "USB: Mass Storage (iPod)"
So, I bet Apple hid it from OS 9.
At least, that's all I can think of.
If you want to sync the songs to the iPod for listening, you'll need to buy an old (1st or 2nd gen) iPod.
However, since you're about to get a new computer, you should just move the songs outright. If your iMac has a CD burner, use that. (if so, iTunes can burn you a MP3 disc). You can also use a USB Flash drive, or external USB or FireWire Hard Drive to copy them to the new computer, then sync iPod to that.
Remember that if you did sync up your iPod to one machine, you can't copy it onto another directly. This goes for any iPod or computer. You can copy the files themselves however, just not via iPod.
Sorry not to be able to help more, but I don't think there's any way to sync a new iPod to an OS 9 system.
Good luck,

I have a 500gb running my computer and want to upgrade to a 1000gb how can i do this?

I would like to upgrade my 500 gb to a 1000gb HD which will run my apple Mac pro 2009 Tower.
Iam confident in changing HDs but wondering how to put all the operating software onto a new HD.
Many thanks,

The way the forums work, WE help solve and is reflected in points.
Glad we helped and hope maybe changed the direction you end up taking with your upgrades.
ce (SSD drive or hard drive) you are migrating to should be physically located in the same computer. Moving operating system files from one computer to another computer using software not specifically designed for that computer can cause issues due to software, hardware, and firmware version mismatches.
Always back up your storage device with Time Machine or Disk Utility before you start.

The old slower SATA II's bandwidth has gotten to be a choke point.
Having all your files on one drive is an even bigger limiting factor.
Isolating system from your media libraries and data, from any scratch drive, helps.
Moving some of those off to another bus, one of the PCIe slots, takes advantage of additional bandwidth available (and probably going to waste currently).
You may have noticed all the newest Macs and future Mac Pro. moving to PCIe SSDs and no longer using even SATA III. Anything you can do now in that regard will help. iPhoto, separate from "Pictures" folder on another high-speed device, or Aperture, and also Lightroom, as well as CS6 scratch space.
That also means you aren't limited to 4 SATA drives or devices, and you should be using those 4 already for system, data, backup, media files.
It does make a difference. It did with my 7 yr old Mac Pro 1,1. that and more RAM, retire older disk drives for newest models, and probably the last GPU mine can make use of , the ATI 5770 (replaced the Nvidia 8800GT that cost even more).

I just updated my iphone4g and now when synching my calendars will not update. How can I fix this?

System restore can do that, I recommend to avoid using system restore, it can create problems as well as solve them.
Try deleting the Firefox installation directory and then re-installing Firefox 3.6
For 32 bit Windows the default location of the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory] is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

There is nothing to do, unless you buy a new computer.

iPhones require a SIM card for activation, regardless of whether it is being used as an iPhone or an iPod.
Put a SIM in the device for the carrier it is locked to and activate it. The SIM can then be left it it or removed.

I have an old 30 GB iPod and it's taking hours to synch. How can it work quicker?
