If I can't use my iPod classic to install my .dmg file what about internal?

I have my .dmg of my leopard disc and was wondering if I can partition my internal drive in two and Install leopard as if the second was an external? Would that work? Or would it be unstable or something.

Yes, you can do that. Make sure you use the correct partition scheme for whatever type of CPU you have (GUID for Intel, or Apple Partition Map for PowerPC). And make sure your backups are updated.

No. Time Machine has been specifically written not to back up to an iPod.

Can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

If you old charger is a USB (+5V output) it will work. If it is a Firewire charger (+12V) then I think it will still work, but Apple has removed Firewire charging from most of the new iPod lines including the iPhone and 4th Generation Nano. However I think that the 120GB Classic may be the last iPod to still charge off Firewire chargers.
It won't hurt anything to try it. If it doesn't work, you will get a screen display that states that the accessory is not supported or something to that effect.
Good luck,

"It" being the iPod Classic I assume.
The iPod Classic does not have Bluetooth.
If the Bose wireless function is Bluetooth, then you could by a Bluetooth transmitter, designed for the Apple 30-pin dock connector. That takes the output from the iPod and sends it via Bluetooth. Power for the transmitter is taken from the iPod.

Can i use my ipod classic on a mac where previously used with windows?

been using windows (sorry) for long time and just bought imac recently. But having trouble getting the ipod classic to update the itunes library even though it looks like it is sync-ing on the computer screen. then when I look at the ipod it is empty. I have tried restoring factory settings, but wondering if you used the ipod initially with the windows then is it a windows ipod forever??
help much appreciated.

Hey there,
If you want to use your iPod with a Mac, you can just Restore it to factory settings again on your Mac to make it a mac formatted iPod. Just keep in mind that if anything is on the iPod it will be erased so make sure you have it backed up somewhere.
Another option is to use your iPod on your mac, but keep it in its Windows format if you wanted. However, the only way you can update the software and firmware is through your windows machine. Hope this helps.

How can I use my iPod Classic (6th Gen) as a voiice recorder?, How can I use my iPod Classic (6th Gen) as a voice recorder?

I just bought an iPod Classic, and in the shop, the demo model had a "Voice Recorder" option on the menu, and I read somewhere that my ipod could be used as a voice recorder, and I was just wondering how to do this? Do I need a microphone??

Yes, you'll need to purchase a microphone for it. Just do a simple Google search for iPod Classic microphone, and should get a number of good hits. Here is one such product that would work.

Can i use same iPod classic with both windows and apple machines

can i download audible books, music and podcasts from windows and apple machines on the same ipod classic?
thank you joanlvh

Yes you can. You will have to authorize both machines for your iTunes account, and you will only be able to sync what is on the individual computers to your iPod, but switching between Mac and PC isn't an issue.

Using an iPod Classic USB cable on an iPhone 4S

Can you use an iPod classic (1st generation) USB (1.0) cable to charge the iPhone 4S? Is there any effects in doing this? I wanted to use this as an extra charger for my USB car charger.

I don't know... Just use the USB cable the nano comes with.

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two? I just want to add a feature. Thanks

Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

I'm using my iPod classic as hard drive to transfer the music to my reinstalled computer but the file "iTunes" is missing. Where is it and how can I get it back?

I had a virus on my Windows Vista PC so I had to reinstall the whole system. With this I also got an upgrade to Windows 7. Now I want to use the iPod classic to put the music back on the PC. According to the explanations on Apple support you have to drag the iTunes file on the iPod to the My Music file. Unfortunately there is no iTunes file on the iPod. It does work fine though and I can listen to all the music. I have to say that before I deleted the hard drive fro the PC I forgot to switch the iPod to manual sync. It was psooible though to do that with the new installed iTunes without erasing the music on the iPod. Can anybody help? I really wouldn't like to loose the countings and playlists.
Thank you

Can I buy an iPod classic in the USA and use it in Germany

Dear friends and apple users,
I am currently using a MacBook bought in Germany with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I would like to buy an iPod in the United States as I am staying here for a long time. Can I also use this iPod classic in Germany without any restrictions? I have heard that there is some kind of feature from Apple that makes it possible not to be able to use the iPod outside the USA/with a non-american Apple device.
Thank you for answering in advance,
my name

I really want to get an iphone, but I'm in the Army and I'm getting assigned to Germany in a few months. I plan for Germany to be my home for a few years. When I looked at Apple stores in Europe I saw they had them in Italy and UK, but not in Germany. My main issue is if AT&T is the service provider in GE. Or do they offer more options over in Europe? Does anyone have any knowledge or experience?

How can I get my IPOD Classic to play books using Gracenote?

In the past I have been able to use my IPOD classic to listen to books on my cars using the USB connection. My new Car a (2013 GMC Terrain) will play the book, but I have no control of it if I try to pause it, it will revert back to the radio view and I have replug the unit. Unfortunately, GMC added the Gracenote indexing software to the Intellink, so that it doesn't recognize the books, only songs. Is there a solution for this? No help from Audible or GMC.

On the iPod, create an On-The-Go Playlist.
Navigate to the first Playlist you want to use; press-and-hold the Select (centre) button until the Playlist name flashes. This puts that playlist into the On-The-Go Playlist, which is located at the bottom of the Playlist menu.
Now navigate to the second Playlist you want; press-and-hold the Select button until the Playlist name flashes. This has added the second Playlist to the On-The-Go Playlist.
Repeat for each Playlist you want to add.
Once you have added all the Playlists you want, scroll down to the end of the Playlist to On-The-Go list. If you go into the On-The-Go list, you will see all the songs form your other Playlists, in Playlist order. Simply scroll to the first song and press the Select or Play to start the first song playing.
By the way, there was no missing manual. No manual was supplied.
