I want classic back!
My 160GB classic ipod will no longer connect to iTunes. I'm so depressed. And learning that it is discontinued just shoots another arrow in my heart. So, I made the plunge and bought a 64GB itouch. It *****! I live in the "sticks" with minimal internet service. I don't want the cloud, the match, the other junk. I just want to move my cd collection from iTunes to the itouch (mind you, I can't move my whole library because of the size constraints - another NEGATIVE!!) I've been working on this for over a month and i'm still downloading. Why isn't there a way to drop and drag music? This is just frustrating. Am I ready to start carry a box of cds in the car again, not quite. But i'm getting close!!
Any suggestions from the more savvy out there?
Here is how:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
You can also compress the music to get more songs on. In the summary pane for the iPod in iTunes check the box that say Convert higher bitrate songs to XX kps ACC. XX of 128 is a good compromise on compression and quality

Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.
Depends on why it's ineligible. If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version. (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".) Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match. Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible. -
Latest "security" update to Firefox 5.0 has disabled Kaspersky and RealPlayer plugins. I want these back on. They are needed, the so-called security fluffyware update is not.
I need the update rolled-back!I managed a temporary work-around by re-installing Firefox 4.0
Firefox 4.0.1 was no good because it automatically updated to Firefox 5.0
Fortunately I had saved the installers to disc in April/May 2011, they are not available from Mozilla - and they should be!
I had to turn off the automatic update and install feature, this is what caused the problem in the first place. This is a dangerous feature to let loose.
All updates should be thoroughly tested that they do not disable important security and other add-on features, or should wait until suitable updated add-ons are available. Kaspersky and RealPlayer are important main-stream add-ons, not trivia. This is a classic violation of software control in design.
The latest Firefox 5 "Security Update" urgently needs to be rolled-back across the board and fixed before re-applying. -
Trying to restore 80GB iPod Classic back to the factory settings.
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, and need to restore 80GB iPod Classic back to the factory settings, due to it being corrupt and the device doesn’t show up in iTunes 10 or on my computer. I've done the 5 R's twice and I am still seeing a box pop up on my computer when I connect the device that says:
“Do you want to scan and fix (F)?”
It gives me the following two options:
1. Scan and Fix (recommended)
2. Continue without Scanning,
Option #1 says, “Unable to perform the scan because Windows cannot access the disk.
Option #2 does nothing.
When starting my computer with the device connected a black screen says:
Checking File System on F:
The type of file system is FAT32.
One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
Windows will now check the disk.
Volume serial number is 3141-****

I’ve tried both options numerous times and nothing works. This is about to drive me to either drinking or wearing one of those stylish white I Love Me Jackets.
HELP ME . . . PLEASEI've used option #1 & #2. I've tried the press & hold menu & center buttons numerous times. The device does not show up in iTunes, It does show up in Windows Explorer as "Removable Disk (F), but when I try to open it, a box pops up that says, "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (F).
When the device is connected to my computer via USB Port, the device screen has an Orange Circle with two rotating Arrows in the centern& says, "Connected", Eject Before Disconnecting

How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc?
How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc? My hardrive recently crashed and the photos on my ipod are the only copies I have! The photos were synced onto th ipod originally - not saved or copied as file transfer.
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. I'm not sure which of the recovery tools can do photos offhand, but unless you chose the option to include full res. originals when you loaded the device then what they extract will be fairly low res. If you did opt for full res. then they should be visible on the iPod's drive when viewed in disk mode.

My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6. I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto. However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
Does anyone have any suggestions?I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box? If so, do:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings -
When I launch I photo it wants me to choose a library but it doesn't find one which is impossible, because i still have no storage. before i can clean up i want to back up them. how can i find my library?
You may very well have damaged your library - or even your system by not having adaquate storage available
And never select all of the pitcture and move them - that will destroy your library - the iPhotolibrary is a SQLite database and must always be kept intact as a single entity -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again
First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

I have a Mac Book Pro with 10.6.8 and want to back up my files using a flash drive. It says I did it but when I tried to check on my other Mac - an I Mac with 10.5.8, thedata does not seem to be there. I cant see photos, etc.. It shows the backup as a file and shows various system info. but there are no photos or other files shown.
Thanks for any advise.
MikeA PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data. Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier. I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4. If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place. I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

Yes, if they are not exclude then TM backs them up.

I have just over 100gig of music in my iTunes library plus what ever else I add in the future. Because of the amount I had to save my music library on an external drive as my laptop did not have the memory to hold it all. I want to back up my iTunes library and save it on a different external drive, one I store all my back ups on. Is this possible? If so how can I do it?
To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them. -
