IPOD 30 GB sync to imac

Hello,
How do I connect an old IPod 30G to my iMac?
If I use a regular USB cable to Apple thin connector iTunes can´t recognize the device and also can´t charge it.

Do you have the original Apple USB cable that came with it? If so, you'll want to use that one to sync and charge your iPod Video.

IPod was synced with IMac that has died.

My Ipod was synced with my IMac that has completely died and now I am trying to resync it with my Windows Vista machine. I was primary using my IMac but now I must use my Windows Machine and when I try to sync my iTunes library it wants to reformat my IPod. The library on my Windows machine is a old copy of my music and if I reformat my Ipod I will lose over 400 songs that are on my IPod and not on my Windows machine. Is there anyway I can get my IPod to again work with my IMac without reformatting it?

Hello leftwir,
No. A Mac formatted iPod, cannot be read or written to on a Windows Machine. If you want to make that possible, you'll need the help of some third party software such as [XPlay|http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplay]. If you go that route, you'll need to copy the music from the iPod Nano over to your iTunes library on your Vista computer.
If you can't or are unwilling to go that route, your only other option is to salvage the music off your iMac's hard drive and copy it over to your Windows computer.

I cannot view photos on my ipod after syncing from imac 10.9.5

I have a 5th generation ipod, 80gb. I have synced to my late 2012 imac 10.9.5 and am unable to see photos. It says cannot sync as file can't be found. My music has all synced but I just see blank squares for photos, is this an incompatibility issue?

i took my ipod on vacation where it became very important I be able to dowload my pictures to the ipod in order to clean out the 1gig card. To my dismay my ipod crashed after about 90 pictures and the only way I could reset the IPOD was to let all the battery run out by keeping it on until it discharged. I then began to download 30, 40, 50 at a time and once in a while it crashed and would not let me see the previous rolls i had saved. Once again i discharge the ipod and the rolls reappeared once i recharged it. I'm dissapointed with this feature as I was really hoping it would be easier to use it as a storage device for photos.
I have a 5G 60Gb Ipod. Using the Apple camera
connector I have successfully uploaded 59 pictures
from my Sony Cybershot camera. While transferring
the pictures it showed a thumbnail. However now
under Import Photos, Roll#x, there are only Delete
Roll and Cancel Options. There is no Browse Option
as indicated in the Apple Support.
The pictures do upload to my computer when I connect
my Ipod but I would like the reassurance of being
able to view the photos I have transferred in the
field before wiping my camera memory

I see others have had this problem. Has anyone
resolved it successfully?? Thank you

Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer. Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar. Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

IPod Touch not syncing w/ iMac iCal

First post! I sync my iPod Touch with my iMac thru the cable. Recently my iPod touch stopped syncing w/ my iMac. for example: the calendar events on the iMac are not transferred to the iPod. Also on the iPod when I create an event, it will only give me the choice of either Calendar [imap_.Mac]:Mail To Do or Calendar, not all my different calendars like before. I don’t know what happened to change this. I restored the iPod but nothing changed. Perhaps it was a software update?
I went to the genius bar and was told that the next time I synced the iPod, under the “Info” page to go to “Advanced”, Replace information on the iPod and click the boxes that I needed to replace. This did nothing. I then put an event on the iPod and synced it with the computer, the event was not transferred to the computer.
Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

Greetings,
Have you restored the iPod? http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/

IPod won't sync with iMac

I have a new iMAC and my iPod contents were copied into the new mac's iTunes library. When I tried to sync my iPod Classic with the new Mac nothing happens. The Mac iTunes sees the iPod, charges it but does not sync. Have Authorized new 'puter, etc.

If you are using automatic syncing, you need to set up the iPod's Music tab in iTunes.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. This is the Music tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync the iPod.
Sync Music is checkmarked. Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it will fit. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. If you chose the latter, you can create a selection of songs on the Music tab. Apply the change to sync your selection of songs to the iPod.

My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message, am I done?

My old iPod Photo sync'd with 10.6 but won't with my new iMac running 10.7, I get an error message and a message that it could not sync, am I done?

What's the error message say, exactly? Does the error occur when you sync, or when you just connect it? Does the iPod appear in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES), or does this error occur before that can happen?
I have an old 4th Gen (color screen) iPod, which should be the same as an "iPod Photo." It's been sitting idle for a while, but I just connected it to my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7 and iTunes 10.6.1. I think it's the first time I tried since upgrading to Lion. It connected and synced fine using USB.

IMac notes and iPod notes Sync?

Somehow notes on my iMac is not in sync with notes on my iPod. I have setup iCloud on both machine to sync notes, contacts and calendars.
Both contacts and calendars are in sync, but not notes. On both devices I use the same apple ID.
I noticed on my iPod, in the notes app, that my notes are under three seperate email accounts while on iMac I could not see any account
infomation for my notes.
My question is if this is the reason why two sets of notes on iMac and iPod are not in sync?
Thanks for any help to fix the notes sync problem

Hi, Linc
Thanks, with your help I managed to sync notes on my iPod and iPad mini, but some how could not sync my iMac.
On iMac I have set option on iCloud to syn iCloud notes, which is under my Apple ID while on my iPod I did the same. I reboot the iMac, nothing happened.
Any thought ?
Thanks

Can I sync my imac with my ipod ?

How do I sync my imac, ipod, and ipad together?

To do it directly just connect the iPad/iPod to the Mac and you will be able to sync certain files via iTunes. Other files can be synced indirectly via iCloud if your devices meet the system requirements and you set it up.
Regards,

"Itunes can not connect to this Ipod. An unknown error occurred." I get this message when I plug my Ipod touch into my Imac. I have restored the Ipod and have the latest Itunes. I have tried different cables and a macbook.

I have an Ipod touch 8GB, an Imac and an apple laptop. I have had this Ipod for years and it has been synced at different times to my Imac and laptop. Recently the battery ran way down on my Ipod. I plugged it into my Imac. After it charge I had to restore it. After I restored it Itunes couldn't connect to it because, "An unknown error occurred". I tried to connect it to Itunes on my laptop and got the same error message. I have tried different USB cables. Since Itunes won't connect, I can't do another restore. I don't know what do try from here.
Some additional info that might be related to this. Just before this Ipod problem came up I crashed my hard disk on the Imac. I had to erase it and reload all my stuff (I was able to copy the contents to a hard drive connected to my laptop using the firewire - I couldn't use time machine because of the crashed HD.) My Imac has been restored to the latest Itunes - I am running OSX 10.6.8.

Thanks for the help Ricky.
I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

IPod not syncing with iTunes 7

Hello,
I've been using an Intel iMac with iTunes 7 and a 30GB fifth generation iPod. Everything was working fine until I installed iTunes 7.
I've managed to sync all my Music with my Ipod. But if I try to change some of the iPod settings within iTunes, and save those changes, the iMac can't find the iPod to sync! It says something like "waiting to connect to iPod" and then "iPod not found". The iPod is in it's dock, connected via USB to the iMac.
I can't believe this problem has anything to do with hardware, as everything used to work smoothly with iTunes 6. Like I said, since upgrading to iTunes 7, the iMac is having trouble connecting with the iPod.
Any thoughts?

iTunes 7 + iPod = many sad people. Has anyone had any luck? I am unable to "Enable Disk Use" for the same reason that others above have had. I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem.
I have read about some with the same problems that have had success using this article. May be helpful to some of you (it didn't work for me).

How do I transfer the music from my iPod to my new IMac computer (95% of the music on it is from CD's I own)?

How do I transfer the music from my IPod to my new IMac computer? I just changed from a PC to IMac. 95% of the music on it is from CD's I own and the ITunes on the new IMac is only recongnizing the ones I bought off of ITunes.

That is correct. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Can I transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my new imac? If so how is it done?

Can I transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my new imac? If so how is it done?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course. The best would be to transfer the iTunes library from your old Mac or PC to the new Mac, so you will keep everything and you won't have to use any third-party app.
Anyway, if you don't have access to the old PC or Mac, you can transfer songs from the iPod to your Mac. If you purchased all the songs on the iTunes Store, just open iTunes, connect the iPod and transfer the songs. If you are using an iPod touch, you will lose everything if you sync it with iTunes on the new iMac.
Another method is to use an app like Senuti to transfer the songs to iTunes, being a safer way to transfer them if you aren't sure that you will lose your songs

Generation 4 iPod Connection to new iMac intel core 2 duo

Okay, first of all heres all my technical information:
-new iMac Intel Core 2 Duo
-Gen 4 iPod, non color diplay
-running iTunes 7.0.2
-sadly, no iPod power brick(although i think i need it to solve the problem)
Okay, now to the problem, I tried to connect the iPod to my new iMac, and it worked after leaving it alone for 15 minutes. It is formated to windows and i wanted the music to stay on it, so i disconnected it. Afterward i just thought, screw it, and connected it hoping to restore it, but it never showed up in iTunes or the finder. I thought this was odd, then i looked at the iPod and it displayed a image of a iPod power brick going into an outlet. i havent been able to get to the apple store and thought there must be an easier way to do this, so i went to get the old install disc for my iPod that came with it. Hoping this would finally work, i tried to run the package installer for the iPod to install the drivers, and it displayed(after it evaluated my comp) "Cannot be installed on this computer, missing Mac OSX Networking Update" I've looked all over the Downloads area of the Apple site and havent been able to find it. Can someone please help me!?!

I have the new 24" flat screen imac and a new IPOD video. I was using the ipod on an old mac with 10.4 and it was working ok with a few sync issues.

Still have not successfully used the ipod with the new mac.

any ideas?

IPod Touch vs iPod Classic Syncing. Simple question, Any answers?

I have an iMac G4 running Leopard and a new Mac Mini Intel running Snow Leopard. Here is my connection issues:
1) My iPod classic syncs to both computers.
2) My iPod Touch (running OS 4.0) syncs to my iMac but not the Mac Mini.
Why?
There has to be a simple solution, but I haven't seen one. I've tried all of the solutions posted here for the Touch, but none work.

Your mini needs to be running iTunes 9 to start. The touch syncs via a piece of software called Apple Mobile Device Services, the classic does not use this.
These two tech articles will help you solve the problems you are having with AMDS on your mini:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
and if you need to remove and reinstall iTunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
If you are connecting through a USB hub, try connecting directly to the mini until you get this sorted out. If you are going to use a hub, it needs to be powered.
