IPhone 3 to iPod for music only

Retired my original iPhone when I purchase iPhone 4. Converted original to use as an iPod for music while I work out. Now cannot keep charge for any longer than hour and is impossible to synch with iTunes. What am I not doing correctly? Thanks

Hi Lawrence,
Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´ Those were good days..... What a City

Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard installation or just get acces to the phone. There is no SIM card in the phone.

Is it possible to sync an iPhone to one mac for music only and another mac for everything else? What about shared iPhoto?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage my iphone and that of my wife.
Our set up is that we share music that is on my imac under my apple store id. We also like to have all of our photos in iphoto on that imac.
She has her own macbook and I'd like to use icloud to sink her personal bookmarks, calendar and other stuff.
I've thought about seeing if I could set her phone up to sync with icloud as appropriate, turn on wireless sync on her imac for syncing everything but music, then sync that same iphone on the imact but just sync music.
I've tried to point her macbook to my imac itunes library and that doesn't seem to be working very well.
The other wrinkle is that she is taking photos on her iphone that I'd like to show up in our shared iphoto library and photo stream. Currently we have our individual icloud apple ids so we may sync our own bookmarks and such and we use a separate "store" id for music and apps and such. I'm not sure I see a way for me to merge iphotos into a shared library/stream?
1. Any thoughts on the best way to manage two iphones, each with their own computer, but a shared music library?
2. Any thoughts on the best way to merge iphoto?
I've been experimenting with setups and I have a feeling folks with more experience have probably worked this out better than the way I'm thinking of doing.
Thanks.

I am 63 yrs. old and I just want to use my iPod for music. As soon as I turn my iPod on, it connects to the internet. How can I have control over when I do or do not connect to the internet? (I have wifi)

Help! I have an iPod Touch 5th generation with iOS 8.1 that I just purchased two days ago. I am of the early 70's generation and this is all new to me. I have wifi at home because i have a laptop. I want to use my iPod mainly for creating playlists and then playing it through my stereo. When I turn my iPod on, it automatically connects to the internet. How can I control when I connect to the internet? I am not a kid wanting to use all the "gadgets" please help me so I don't feel that I've totally wasted all of this money on this purchase! Thank you so much for your help!.

Hey Evawantsin, turning off Wi-Fi as suggested by Illaass will do the trick, but how are you connecting to your stereo? If it uses Wi-Fi, then you need to turn the Wi-Fi on for music sessions. If through Bluetooth your fine, or do you use a physical connection like a dock, USB to lighting cable or do you just plug in through the headphone port with a patch cable? Also, you can down load the iPod Touch Users Guide for iOS 8 for free from iTunes. It will answer most questions, or at least point you in a direction. Hope this helps. Good luck, Cheers.

IPhone charging problem/playback for music

Hi everyone, I have two problems at the moment. The first one is the iPhone car charger is not working correctly, it goes in and out from charging. It charges, then stops, then charges, then stops. I have no clue why this is all of sudden doing this. The second problem is when I connect a aux input cable to my iPhone and playback in my car, the music only comes out of one speaker? Then it goes to both, then one, then both, then one. It is very similar to the charging issue. Any ideas of what is happening here? Thanks

Mini to stereo receiver for music only vs. CD player or ipod

Thinking of ditching my CD player and just ripping 'em all to itunes on my Mini and connecting it directly to my stereo receiver. I figure that with an external HD I can pip them at CD quality rather than mp3 with an ipod. Any problems with this thinking? Is the quality coming out of the Mini's headphone jack good enough to match my CD player? Thanks for any advice on this!

Absolutely. A lot of people are doing it. You can put all those CDs away somewhere and not have them taking up living space (if that's a priority).
Using Apple Lossless compression you'll have results that are indistinguishable from the CDs. If you're not a critical listener you can probably get by with 256kb/s or 320kb/s MP3 (or AAC - Apple compressed), as that sounds exactly the same as the original source for 80-90% of people.
Is the quality coming out of the Mini's headphone jack good enough to match my CD player?
No. The headphone jack has only average fidelity. For CD-like sound quality, you'll want to get a quality, external A-to-D converter (analog-to-digital). Examples:

Two ipods for car, only one works.

I have a car CD player which I connect my ipod mini to using a USB cable. When I play the songs, it sounds as though only half the music is being played. It misses words, instruments and just sounds weird. My girlfriend has an identical ipod (bought 6 months apart, different colour though!) and her one plays perfectly. I have changed some songs to MP3 and WAV files but still no success. Why won't it play if my girlfriend's does? I have reset it, restored it and I am using the latest itunes.

There are several different ways to use two iPods with one computer, have a look at this help page for suggestions and choose the method that suits you best: How to use multiple iPods with one computer

ITunes Library: Copy items on import for music only (not video)

Hi,
I've just bought a new iPod Touch (and I love it). I'd like some advice on managing my iTunes library though.
At the moment I use an external FW drive for my music (there's a lot of it), and I have iTunes manage that itself. It copies files into the folder on this drive automatically, manages the folder hierarchy, and all is good.
Now, however, I have an iPod Touch, and so need to use iTunes to manage my movie library, which is substantial. Currently I have organised my movies into folders spread across 2 500GB external disks. I'm happy with this setup, but to get these movies onto the iPod, I need to import the movies into iTunes.
So here's my problem. I like the way iTunes manages my music library, and would like it to continue to do so. However, when it comes to movies, I want everything to stay the same as it is at the moment, I can't have iTunes take control of the movies because they're spread over two very big disks, and none of my external drives are large enough to fit everything on (movies + music).
What's the best way to have iTunes continue to manage my music, but to just remember links to the movies on the two other external drives? Also, will I have to be careful about using things like the 'consolidate library' feature because that could really screw things up (trying to move things about when I don't want it to).
Any advice would be much appreciated (I'd love iTunes 8 to have more flexibility and control over libraries, especially distinguishing between movies and music).
Thanks for your advice, it's much appreciated!

No Tom,
I am saying that when no files actually copy to the SAN Volume when in "Copy Files" mode despite the setting being correct (destination is the Library's external media folder).
Original files stay on the portable drive, whatever their nature. But if a file is imported this way and needs optimizing, FCPX does create a ProRes file in an "Optimized Media" folder it creates within the Libray's external media folder.
If I eject the portable drive, files that did not need to be optimized go offline.
At no time does FCPX indicate that it is copying. In the background process window it shows rendering of the waveforms and transcoding when optimizing but there is never an indication it actualy copies the files.

My friend connects his iphone to my itunes for music but now when tries to download an app it asks for my email and password, how to fix this?

My friend connects his iphone to my computer because i have more music in my itunes library. when he disconnects it and tries to update or download new app it asks for my apple id and not his. Any way to fix this?

Stop letting him sync his device to your computer.
He has no legal right to any of the content on your computer.
Tell this friend to sync his device to his computer, this will remove all content that had been synced from your computer and replace it with content from his computer.
If he likes the media that you have, you can "gift" him some songs via iTunes or he can purchase it himself.

I accidentally synced my iPhone to my sisters computer and now my computer wont recognise my iphone to automatically sync for music form my itunes...Help?

I accidentally synced my iphone 4s to my sisters computer and now my computer won't recognise it and allow me to download music and photos etc. Is tehre some simple settign In need to do to allow my compuetr to recognise my iphone again?

Connect to your computer, start iTunes, right click on your phone in the device list, choose "backup". iTunes will perform a manual backup without syncing your phone.
After that sync your phone, iTunes will erase the content, but you can use the manual backup to restore from afterwards.

I have a Classic Ipod used for music and photos. When I downloaded latest version of Itunes, the photo facility seems to have disappeared, Why?

I have used my Apple Classic Ipod for music and photo storeage/playback. When prompted to download a new versionof Itunes (11.1.0) I did so but cannot now locate any facility for removing/adding photos. Is this a deliberate action on the part of the programmers or a mistake. What can i do to recover the siutation?

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
