I have inherited an IPod classic 80gb which has music and photos on that I would like to save to my computer then delete from Ipod.

I cannot sync ipod with my computer - I have no disc or any instructions. Can you help me

Any content stored the iPod belongs to the former owner and cannot be transferrred.
If you can restore to factory settings, you can then purchase iTunes media and sync your own photos.

You need third-party software to extract it from your phone:

My 160GB ipod classic stopped whilst playing music and will not turn back on despite having almost a full battery. I have tried connecting to itunes and a docking station but will not turn on at all - HELP?!
I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
Can anyone please help?

I have not heard of a good reason for this to happen or how to fix. 3 days later my screen lights up and says to connect to charger.... so its back "for now". Best music player on the market when it works.

All podcast becoming unchecked then deleted from iPod since Lion install

All podcast becoming unchecked then deleted from iPod since Lion install.

Sorrry I should have said I do recheck them and resync. I have settings to Auto include all episodes of selected podcast. Seems to work for day or so then all are unchecked again.

Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this?

Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)

This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

Is it possible to save an iPhone back up and access the files later if needed? I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone. Is this possible?

I have a string of text sms and iMessages that I would like to save and then delete them from my phone, but gain access to them later if I need them. I prefer to have the string with the date/time stamp vs copying and pasting into a doc or text file. Is this possible?

Not unless you buy an app that accesses data from an iTunes backup. Check in the app store.

Hi. I have just started using Adobe Photo Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11. I have many pictures in my photo gallery that I would like to use in a project that I am working on. When I opened the photo gallery it said I could not use the photo gallery because it has not been updated. Can someone please help me with this...let me know how to do this...or...Thank you,

BNN, even though I understand what KT is saying, your thought resonates with mine. When it comes to building and maintaining my website, I see myself more as a photographer than as a web designer. Hence, even though Apple may not be actively developing (and we are guessing on this one, arent we) iWeb, the existing functionality should do plenty of good to me for next couple years at least.
That said, they released a point update a few days back and with the whole cloud thing building momentum and mobile me going for free, why would Apple want to pull the plug on such a fantastic product?

I have music on one device that I would like to get on another, but when I try to download it, it just says purchased. What do I do?

How hard is if you reformat your iPod to restore all your music and photo's?

You do not format an iOS device like an iPod touch. You restore it. It is not that hard. For how see:

I lost my my ipod touch (generation 3) - i only had music and photos on it - no mail enabled. i am wondering if someone finds my ipod and tries to use it, will they be able to download the photos to their computer?

i lost my ipod touch (gen 3) it had only music and photos on it. no mail enabled but passlock off. i am worried if someone finds it, they will be able to download the fotos by connecting to a new computer and not syncing but just downloading. that is the case, right?

There are ways to get content off the iPod from another computer, yes. Someone has to know a bit about what they're doing, though, but it's not horrendously difficult. So it is possible that someone could get your photos.
Regards.

I have a 1st gen shuffle and a nano that I would like to use with a new computer. What do I need to do?

I have a first gen iPod Shuffle with its software installed on a Windows XP computer. I installed the software for an iPod Nano, and was then unable to access my music library with the Shuffle. This is not my main issue that my question is about. I would like to be able to use both of these devices on a new Windows7 computer. What, exactly, do I need to do? (ie - deauthorize my old computer, uninstall or install/reinstall iTunes, etc.) Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

"Do I need to deauthorize my old computer first?"
Not unless you want to. You can have up to 5 computers authorized.
" And should I install the Nano's iTunes software, since it is newer than the Shuffle's, before syncing?"
Itunes is itunes. I don't know what you mean by "Nano's iTunes software". You need to install itunes.
"Or, should I just download the most current iTunes software, and then plug in both devices and sync?"
Yes.
Hope all goes smoothly.

HT201302 I have a large video on my ipad that I would like to transfer to a computer. But my computer (using various software that came with Windows 7) does not see this video, although it sees all the other videos on my ipad. This video is too big to t

I have a large video on my ipad that I need to transfer to my PC (a window 7). I could also use a windows 8 if that would help. But all of the applications I have tried do not see this large video (52 mins) even though they transfer smaller videos fine. The ipad will not let me trim the video, saying it is too large. This is true even though I only want to trim the original, and not create a new video. (Actually it refuses before it gets to the choice of creating something new or just eliminating something from the original). I have been to an Apple store, but the people there only could recommend that I try some alternate applications to do the transfer (Kodak EasyShare). I don't have much faith this will work. I think I have this application on an old PC, and it is not something I want on my new computers.
Is it possibled the size of this video just violates the transfer formats for files over USB? If so, I will just delete the video and move on. But the video is really something I wanted to save. I would be happy to eliminate most of the video, but the ipad will not let me trim it.
I also tried to import the video with Windows Moviemaker (free with W7). It also does not see this file, but works fine on the other videos on the ipad.

Ipod Classic 80gb won´t work with apple universal dock and remote

I own 2 ipods a 5th generation 60gb and an ipod classic 60gb. I've just bought an apple universal dock with remote and the original apple component and composite AV cables. I connected the universal dock to my TV via the composite cable, with my ipod 5th gen I can watch videos on the TV and control the ipod with the apple remote but when I connect my ipod classic to the universal dock it will charge but I can´t get any video out or control the ipod with the remote. It's as if the ipod classic doesn't recognize the universal dock and it keeps showing the connect the video accessory screen, even when i tried using the apple component AV cable. I dont think the problem is with the universal dock because it works fine with my Ipod video 60gb, but with my Ipod Classic 80gb the remote control and video out won't work at all, i can´t even control the playback of audio playlists. Does anyone know why that is happenning? Please help me!

I have the Classic 80gb also...same probem. I retuned the Apple Universal Dock and purchased one that was half the price. Pluged it in and it works perfectly! So my advice would be to save some money and get products that work.
