I want to create a playlist on an old iPod Nano (I think it's from the second generation), but the computer it was originally linked to via iTunes died years ago.  How can I make a playlist out of existing songs on the iPod?

Hello there,
I have an old iPod nano which I think is from the second generation (model number A1199 if that helps) with software at the latest version it can accept, 1.1.3.  I wish to make a playlist out of the songs currently on the iPod, but I can't see any easy way to do that from the iPod itself.  The next logical thought is to do it through iTunes, but the iTunes that was originally synced to the iPod died several years ago now, so I can't access that to make a playlist through (it's a very old iPod).  I do have iTunes currently on this computer, but that's synced with my iPhone and stores different songs which I don't want to be mixed with those from the old iPod (due to the mostly nostalgic nature of the iPod songs).  Is there any way I can either create a new playlist from the iPod itself, or through iTunes without having to sync?  Also note that most of the songs on the old iPod were uploaded to iTunes from CDs and so aren't connected with any iTunes Login.
Thanks for any help you can give.  Also, I sorta need to create this playlist ASAP so any advice you could give would be much appreciated

The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC.  However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Right-click on it and choose "Copy to Play Order"
    The songs can no longer be re-arranged (assuming that's what you meant). I think songs can still be added and deleted.

    GB for iPad doesn't have volume automation, you'd need to import the project into GB on a Mac to create the fade with a volume curve.
    as an alt, finish your song and export the audio file, then import the audio file in an audio editor and create a volume fade with that:

    How can I make an Apple ID without credit card if the "none" tab is not visible to me?
    Help me out please

    Hello, aligt9p. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    To create an Apple ID without a credit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
    If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
    However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

    just try the following:
    jsp.getVerticalScrollbar().setValue(0);after inserting and adding all your components. this will set the vertical scrollbar up to the very first line.

  • I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when i select the customer?

    I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
    iselect the customer?

    Hi bazza,
    We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
    First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
    Here is the formula in G2
    =CONCATENATE(B2&"
    ",C2&"
    ",D2&"
    ",E2)
    It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
    This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
    Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
    base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
    row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
    What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
    column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
    we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
    If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.

  • How can I make an AAC version of a song?

    How can I make an AAC version of a song? All I see is "Create an MP3 Version". I do not want to pay for a shorter version of a song that I already have! Why is APPLE doing this to us?!?!?! GREED, that's why!!  #venting 

    Right-click on the tune and select "Create AAC version..." from the pop-up menu. Quicktime can also convert MP3 to AAC.
    Ringtones need to be AAC (MPEG4 audio, aka .M4A) audio of less than 30 seconds in length. Once converted, find the file and change the suffix of the file name from .M4A to .M4R and drag the file into iTunes and it will be recognized as a ringtone.
    There are a couple of applications that do this for Windows, and OS X provides a mechanism to do this with several tools and even provides means for batch conversion and automation of the process.

    hi barbara
    thank you for your response, i appreciate it.  there's definitely nothing wrong with the mouse or trackpad, both work fine in every other application....i can also easily change size dimensions in other programs on my computer so it doesn't seem to be that either.  it seems like there is something weird going on in the way that pse and my mac are interacting with each other, just wish i knew what it was.    thank you again, wish me luck!

  • I have two accounts to my computer as administrator. How can I make it so both accounts have access to the same folders and programs? grateful for answers. Martin

    I have two accounts to my computer as administrator. How can I make it so both accounts have access to the same folders and programs? grateful for answers. Martin

    Obvious question: If you want to have access to the same folders andapplications, why have two accounts? The point of different accounts is that you don't have access to the other person's data.
    Any application in the HD/Applications folder is available in all accounts.
    Sharing data between accounts depends on the material being shared. So, if you can provide more details we maybe able to help you better.

    In iTunes, try changing "album artist" tag to the same name for eack track,
    also make sure that "track number" values are correct and different for each.

    I recently purchased a brand new Airport Time Capsule 2TB. I already am using the previous generation time capsule to back up all my computers data. May I ask how can I complement the usage with my new time capsule?

    By default your new Time Capsule will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
    Most likely your iMacs will be connected to the wireless network created by the Virgin Media router. However, both should see the Apple Network under the AirPort icon's drop-down menu as another wireless network that they can connect to. Is this not the case?
