An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service. Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time. You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201253 - detailed example: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18860187#18860187
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario. It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do. Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

Need to copy files from PowerBook G4 with bad blocks

Yesterday my PowerBook G4 which is about 5 years old had problems starting up. When I ran Disk Utility on it I was notified that there was a SMART problem and I should backup my data immediately. I have a lot of important data that still needs to be backed up, but I am having problems with likely bad blocks.
I have tried to backup the data two ways both using a firewire connection to my new MacBook Pro. First, I connected the computers via firewire and used the "T" option when booting my old laptop. I tried to copy the files over by clicking on the directories I need to back up and dragging them over to my new laptop. That would work okay, but when it would hit bad files, everything would freeze. My old laptop wouldn't copy over anymore and I couldn't eject the HD from my new laptop.
Then I tried using Terminal to move files over. I connected the computers in the same way as above and opened Terminal from my new laptop. After going into the directory I wanted to copy from on my old laptop, I typed in the following command,
find . -exec ditto -v {} ~/Data/M33/SE25/ \;
since I was told that might skip over the files with bad blocks and continue on. It did copy some files over, but I had the same problem again with everything freezing up.
I really would like to get as many files transferred as I can without having to do it one-by-one and restarting everything every time my old laptop freezes up. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get around the files with bad blocks or whatever might be happening to freeze up my old laptop?

I did as suggested in that I used the Terminal option and let everything run for 8 hours. Here are some of the notes I got from the system.log file. I will group together the error messages from when they actually occurred. I started the process at midnight. My apologies for some of the mistakes in the posts in the error messages. Some of the characters are messing up the way it is being viewed in the post.

It is now 8:20am and not a lot of data has been copied over and currently I can't tell if anything else is being copied over. The screen on the old laptop is frozen to the way I last saw it before going to sleep.
Sorry if I posted more than I should have. I am just hoping that someone may be able to better see what is going on from the system log. I am going to check again in a couple of hours to see if any more data has been transferred.
Thanks again for everyone's help with this.

Need to copy files from multiple machine to multiple locations on server in daily basis

My scenario is below:
1. I have 20 machines and data for backup would be on only in one folder of each machine.
2. Need to create 20 folders in server and copy the corresponding machine's data to the respective folder daily.
3. Data copy should be appending (Should not be duplication).
4. Also need notification if any failure.
Let me know whether schedule task / script which would be better to server this

Create a robocopy script to copy data from 20 different folders,
In Robocopy command you have switches to append the data,
You can enable logging for this script, If its failes / error - it will update in log file.
Create a schedule task and run this script according to your timings,
You an refer Robocopy article for more information :

Virtual App needs to copy files

I'm trying to virtualize a new version of an application that I've been able to successfully virtualize in the past. The new version has a new twist though. The program wants / needs to copy files from c:\program files (x86)\dir1\dir2 to %LOCALAPPDATA%\dir1\dir2. I am able to capture and build the virtual application. When I start the application I get an error which I believe is related to this file copy. Has anyone encountered this before? If so how were you able to get the virtual application to run?

Short of jailbreaking, there is no way to install an app besides purchasing it from the App Store and either downloading directly to the iPad or syncing through iTunes. Even if you transferred a "safe" app with one of the above methods, none of them can open and execute an app.
I do not want an app on the iPad end - rather, on the Mac end!
And I do not want a reader or some internet-based cloud-storage app (like Dropbox, etc.)
Rather, I want an app on my Mac under OS X that, when I connect the iPad via the usual cable, will give me Finder-like access to all the files on the iPad - so that I can download whatever ones I want from iPad to Mac.
That was not clear from your post.
There is no universal app that will bring content from your iPad to your Mac. Nor is there any Mac app that will give you Finder access to the iPad. The very nature of the iOS operating system is that there is no all encompassing folder structure to access like there is in Windows or Mac OS. Each individual app can have ways to export/share content, some of which are cloud-based and some of which can work with iTunes. Many apps also have the ability to save to a cloud storage app (such as Dropbox), export to Evernote, etc.

Can I transfer,or copy music from my old Ipod that's not in my Music Library to my new one?

Hello,
My overall objective is to copy my current playlist onto my new Ipod Classic. I really didn't want to have to set up my playlists over again. I cracked my Old Skool Original Ipod at the gym this weekend, so I'm in mourining for sure:{
Again some of my songs are on my Ipod only, so what should I do to transfer these to my new Ipod? Any help to in adding my data to the new Ipod will be much appreciated!
Thank you

In order to sync the songs from your older iPod to your newer one, you'll need to copy them from your older iPod back to your iTunes library. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to copy content from your iPod back to your PC.

Trouble Copying Songs from Mac to iPod

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro.
I copied my iTunes folder from my PowerBook to my MacBook Pro. All of my songs appear in the library.
I have my iPod set up to manually manage my songs.
When I copy songs from library to my iPod, they don't copy. I don't even get a warning message. I did the reset warnings on my iPod and still no message.
If I go to my iMac computer, I can copy songs from iTunes to my iPod with no problem
Why can't I copy songs from my new MacBook Pro to iTunes?
I have reset my iPod, my sure I am running latest versions of the software etc.
MacBook Pro, 2.1 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 GB Ram

Shooting from the hip, I'd say try running a restore with the iPod connected to the new MacBook.
Good luck.

i need to transfer files from my old power pc os x 10.2.8 to my new mac 2.7 i5 os x 10.7.5 how do I do it?

I have been asking this question to several people also. I have used the program Super Duper to backup my old PowerPC G5 Mac to an external hard drive. The answer I received is as follows:
When you first start the new Mac, you'll be asked if you want to "copy from another Mac". Point this at the old Mac, or at the backup volume created by a full "Backup - all files" of that Mac, made with Erase, then copy or Smart Update. That'll automatically bring in your applications, account information and data.
Of course, any "copy protected" or "activated" applications will likely need to be reactivated: after all, it's a new Mac. Other than that, though, you should be ready to go on the new computer.
I have an old computer at work and a new Mac at home. I decided to test this by bringing my backup home to see if my new iMac computer would read it. It worked! I feel confident I can now transfer my old backup information to the new work computer.

No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire. But looking at wires on line has been confusing. Is sata the same as esata? How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

Why when i copy files from downloads to a new folder,then i delete them from the downloads i will loose the file?

tell me please when i copy files from downloads it will be a new file with new capacity? i mean if a file is 2 mb, when i copy it it will be new 2mb ?

If you copy it to another folder, e.g., Documents, and you can see it in the Downloads folder then you now have two copies of the file. If you delete one copy, the other stays intact. If you keep both, there is no harm, although the amount of disk space used is twice as big as when you only keep one copy.

How do I copy files from my old pc to my new imac?

how do I copy files from my old pc to my new imac?

There are many methods, however you are specific about the type of files you want to move. The first time your Mac turns on it begins with Setup Assistant and asks if you want to migrate from another Mac or PC, you must have missed that. I'd recommend looking over Pondini's Guide and following the directions for using Migration Assistant. You can find them by clicking How to Use Migration Assistant From PC to Mac 10.7 Lion.
If you have specific files you are attempting to migrate then moving them to an external HD and then just dragging and dropping them from the EHD to the Mac would be very simple. Apple explains migration strategies in Switch 101

Use the Migration Assistant, or the Setup Assistant, or use a network, Target Disk mode, or an external drive to move them manually.

Assuming that "original" means a G3/CRT iMac, not wireless. The G3 iMacs didn't have Bluetooth. The good news, though, is that any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with them, even the ones designed for Windows that you can pick up for ten bucks or so.

Safely copying files from Target Disk Mode to External USB. Advice?

Just got a new iMac and transferred my system and important files to it from my old iMac. However, a partition on my old iMac has files I want to move to my new iMac so they can be included in Time Machine backups while others I want to move to another external hard drive since I have physical copies of most of those files elsewhere.
I can connect my old iMac to the new via Target Disk mode and copy the critical files from Mac-to-Mac easily and quickly enough. What I want to know is if I’m safe to copy the other files from the TDM-connected iMac to a USB drive.
I’ve read that having other devices connected to your Mac while another Mac is connected via TDM can result in corrupted files. Is this true? Is it unsafe to copy files from a TDM Mac to an external USB drive?
If it is safe, is it best to connect the USB drive to the new Mac or to the old one while it’s in TDM? There’s a lot of data so I’m wondering about transfer times. One method would see files going over Firewire through the new iMac to a USB drive, while the other would go from TDM-connected Mac directly to a USB drive connected to its own USB port. That is:
TDM iMac > New iMac > USB Drive connected to New iMac
or
TDM iMac > USB Drive connected to TDM iMac
I have limited space on my internal drive and I also don’t want to copy-hop from TDM iMac to New iMac then copy from New iMac to USB drive. I'd like to go directly from old drive to external USB drive if it's safe.
So I’m looking for advice on the best way to connect devices in order to cut down on copying time and number of copies, and to do it safely without corrupting data. Any advice is appreciated!

I've used Migration Assistant already to move all of my immediately necessary data and settings over. This other data was on a separate partition and I'm unable to copy all of the data over to my new drive due to lack of space.
Things are complicated by the fact that I need to change some of my externals over to Time Machine ready backups. Previously I was using 1 TB and a 2 TB drive for TM and another 2 TB drive for general backups/archiving. Now I need to juggle things around so that both 2 TB drives are for TM and the 1 TB is used for archiving.
An important point I should have mentioned is that I can't use my old iMac normally due to a GPU problem that seizes the system up. This is the reason I can't just copy stuff directly from old iMac to external USBs.
I'm interested to know if what I described above is safe and if there are any time savings or benefits for copying through my new iMac or connecting the externals directly to the old iMac in TDM.

How to copy files from a color classic w/broken floppy drive to an i-book ?

How to copy files from a color classic w/broken floppy drive to an i-book ?
I have a Coplor Classic with a system 7.
There is no ethernet on color classic. The floppy drive is dead.
I need some important files I have on the color classic...
How do I connetct them to transfer files?...

The easiest way, as AppleIIFreak has suggested, is probably to find another older Macintosh computer (with the round MiniDIN printer port) to be used as an intermediary. You could then connect the two machines by means of LocalTalk cabling, or just a plain Mac serial printer cable between the printer ports, and then set up file sharing. From that other Mac, you should be able to forward the files via Ethernet, diskettes (if you have an external USB floppy drive for the iBook) or email (Internet).
If a second old Mac is not available, you may want to try something else. It would not be unusual for a Color Classic to have ClarisWorks already (obviously, one cannot expect anything new to become installed). If so, that program suite would contain a communications part. This means that you could connect an external serial modem, and send the files over the phone lines (or locally, modem-to-modem, in principle as in KB article # 22229; sometimes a very simple home-built line simulator may have to be added) to any other computer using a terminal emulation application with file transfer capabilities. It would also be possible to connect the modem port directly to the serial port of a PC, through a combination of a Mac modem cable (MiniDIN-8M to DB-25M) and a standard PC null-modem cable (DB-25F to DB-9F).
