Installing podcasts and books onto my iPod classic

I downloaded books and a podcast onto my iTunes library, but cannot install them onto my iPod classic. I know that iTunes' babies are the iPod Touch, the iPad and the iPhone, but for some reason they still sell the classic and some people actually buy them.

With the iPod connected to your iTunes Library, look on the Device/Podcasts pane (tab) and select the Sync Podcasts button. Note also, the various syncing options for Podcasts. Then press Sync.
By the way, the Classic is still a leading and very useful iPod. It has far greater capacity than the iPod Touch. My 100GB music collection won't fit onto a Touch, so I have a 160GB Classic. I admit though, that I prefer the iPod Touch for Podcasts, and the Apps of course! So I own both, and I know I'm not the only one.
So that's why the Classic is still avaliable and why people actually buy it!

  • HT1386 I have an 80 gig ipod classic. I have a new Macbook Pro running 10.8.2 and I can't get my current podcasts to sync onto my iPod. I have restored the ipod and dragged the current podcasts to the add list to no avail. What is up?

  • I bought two songs off itunes and they wont sync onto my ipod touch but they did sync onto my ipod classic.  I have tried all troubleshooting ideas to get the songs to sync on my ipod toch but nothing works. :(

    I bought some songs off of itunes and the songs synced onto my ipod CLASSIC but they didnt sync into my ipod TOUCH. I have tried authorizing and deauthorizing my laptop, updating softwares but nothing works. Anyone know why this is happening?!?!?!

    Hi,
    The songs need to be in the playlist(s) that go onto the ipod touch.
    Plug the ipod touch into the computer and go to the music section of it from the devices menu. From here make sure that the playlist(s) that go on to this ipod are the ones that have the new songs.
    Once this is done, click sync/apply.
    I hope this helps.

  • HT1351 I've encoded a vinyl LP record into digital format and recorded it onto an usb as MP3 file. But when I tried to copy it onto my ipod classic, I get a message stating "was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod". Why?

    I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.

  • HT1386 I am having trouble synching all 1700 songs that I just put into iTunes Music Match onto my iPod Classic device. It worked on my iTouch and iPad devices but not the Classic. How do I transfer the music successfully

    I am having trouble synching all 1700 songs that I just put into iTunes Music Match onto my iPod Classic device. It worked on my iTouch and iPad devices but not the Classic. How do I transfer the music successfully

    It should sync the same if the songs are the same. You can try:
    - Unsyncing all music and resysncing
    - Restoring the iPod
    BTW, yo posted in the iPod touch forum

  • Can you put documents onto an ipod classic ?

    At present I create documents in Pages and print them on index cards for studying. Is there a way to create a document that can be downloaded onto an Ipod classic to be read on the screen?
    <Post Relocated by Moderator>

    Export the documents to plain text and then follow the instructions in this article. Only 4000 characters of a note and 1000 notes total will be displayed on the iPod.

  • Trying to get a audio book onto my ipod gen 2 , not appearing

    Trying to get a audio book onto my ipod, doesn't seem to want to download

    Heather,
    Can you first verify that you have configured the iPod to sync audiobooks from your iTunes library?  To do this, plug the iPod into your computer, and then when it appears in iTunes, select it from under Devices in the left hand pane.  This shoud bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.
    Now in the main section/window of iTunes look for the Books tab along the top and click on it.  Under this tab you can configure how and what audiobooks are synced to your device.  Before making any changes, first verify that the Sync Audiobooks option is ticked at the very top.
    If you do make any changes from under this tab, be sure to click the Apply button in the lower right to sync the updates changes to the iPod.

  • Rating Podcasts and Videos on the iPod

    How does one rate Podcasts and Videos on the iPod. I can do it in iTunes but have not figured out how to do it on the iPod unless I first convert the file so that it appears to be an audiobook or music file.
    I use ratings to determine 1) I've listened to it so now delete it, 2) I'm in the process of listening, 3) this episode has some info I need to reference but once I do I can delete, 4) and 5) this is good stuff - don't delete it ever.
    Thanks.

    well the blue dots along side the podcasts and movies will show you whether you have listened/are in the process of listening/watching. and you can delete them as you finish with them by swiping from right to left over the title and hitting the 'delete button' that comes up.
    (i would recommend at least reading my posts in this thread though http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8755314#8755314 - this isn't a major problem, but has been flagged up as something which occurs with the ipod deletion method, and is worth knowing about, but would take me ages to explain it again!)
    so that would effectively manage your first 2 ratings for you, but i'm not sure it is possible to rate them in the same way you can rate music.
    suggest it to apple using the feedback page:

    Not only this but I can't drag from Itunes and place anywhere on my desktop or onto an external drive. Apple, why are you screwing around with basic functions!? I'm a dj and I need to be able to manage my music files without you ruining my life! FIX THIS!

    Yes, I know. Which is why I won't argue over it.   As I said I've never had an issue with it when travelling.
    And Apparently the purchase is working fine for the OP, its the actual download that gets hung up.
    Anyway, If the Purchase is going fine, then its more likely an issue with the internet connection.
    Are you on Cell service when trying to download rather than Wifi?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:
    Your calendars are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
