Ipod and another MP3 compatability

We have an ipod, and recently purchased an Nextar MP3 player for our daughter. The songs are not downloading on the new MP3 player, either from itunes downloads or CDs. Is there a compatability issue, or how can I get the songs to download to the MP3?

iTunes for Windows is only compatible with the iPod range or with the iTunes enabled phones from Motorola. iTunes purchases will only play on these devices. You may be able to get your player working with the aid of a third party helper program but that would only allow you to add non iTunes songs. Have a look at this one and see what you think: iTunes Agent -Windows
Check out the manual for your player to see what method it uses to import songs. Most will have their own management software and many just operate as simple USB devices and you can drag tracks from the iTunes Music folder rather than through the iTunes interface.

ICal will no longer sync with macmini still syncs with iPhone, iPod and another mac...what happened?

iCal will no longer sync with wife's mac mini. It works with our iPhone, iPod and and older G5 tower. I am using an iMac. Nothing shows up on the mobile me calendar in her office. I have been unable to get the shared calendar to open on her machine. All had been well until yesterday.
Thanks for any help.

I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

Using an iPod with another mp3 player

Hello,
My wife got a Sansa Lil Monster mp3 player for Christmas and I know it will not work with iTunes. How do I transfer music onto her player without messing up my iPod?
Thanks in advance.

If you can drag songs to your MP3 player through Windows Explorer you just need to locate the files in the iTunes Music and copy them over. This should have no effect on your iPod. You won't be able to copy songs downloaded from the iTunes music store as they will only work on iPods or Motorola iTunes enabled phones but everything else is usable.

Ipod (and other mp3 player) no longer mount

When I connect my Nano to my Mac, the battery charge icon shows in the Nano display, but the Nano does not mount on the desktop nor does it show as being connected to the computer. I have a second mp3 player (Sandisk) and it does the same -- its display shows it connecting to the computer but it never shows on the desktop or in the sidebar of windows.
BTW, I have checked Finder preferences and Ipods are checked to be displayed. I have the iPod in disk mode.
Any help appreciated.

Sorry can you see the other MP3 under the Disk
Utility?
No. I also checked the /Volumes directory in the terminal and it doesn't show there either. The player display says "USB connect."

There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account. See this article for different ways of managing multiple iPods.

Are you saying that iTunes does not recognize the other 2 iPods?

Old laptop crashed, tried syncing it into new one but half my songs disappeared. No I got a new ipod and another new laptop. How do i get back my lost songs and make sure it all ends up on my new ipod?

I had a laptop that had over 2,000 songs in my library but it crashed and my ipod could only hold a little over 1000. Later, when I got my new laptop, I synced my ipod to it only to have all my songs disappear. I did the itunes media folder thing and only got about half of my songs back (some from CDs, some from the itunes store and some from amazon downloads). I hadto get a newhard drive for my laptop and now i have a new ipod. So how can I getback my old songs and then get ALL of my songs tranfered to my new ipod?

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.

Insignia - AM/FM Clock Radio for Apple iPod and Most MP3 Players

I was considering purchasing this for myself, along with an 8GB Zune. I was wondering if this would be compatible with the Zune. Here is the link to it http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8955151&type=product&id=1217029959025 I was wondering if that link is the same thing as this, they look the same http://www.zune.net/en-US/products/i/ihomezn9b/details.page/ I would want to get a clock radio compatible with the Zune. Thanks for the help

Hey Astronomer9893,
You’re actually looking at two different models here. The one displayed on BestBuy.com is an IP99BR, while the other one is a ZM9B. Both models are made by iHome, so that would certainly explain why they look so similar.
According to the manufacturer’s website, the IP99BR is only able to support a limited number of iPod models. The ZM9B on the other hand, is only compatible with docking Zune models. For more information though I would strongly suggest checking out iHome’s website:

Hope this helps you out!

IPod and Mini: Can put both on same PC?

I have and iPod (4th generation if it matters) and just recently bought a Mini. They will both be used on the same PC. I have not plugged the Mini into my PC because I do not want to loose the music that is currently on the Mini or take a chance of messing anything else up. When I go to plug in my Mini, will my iTunes show the library for my iPod and another library for my Mini? Any assistance would be great.

Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Hello everybody,

I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

How do I take my iTunes library from my ipod and move it to another iTunes on another compuyter?

How do I take the songs on my ipod and download/transfer them to another computers iTune library?

Excellent! Do I need to do anything to ensure the the program installs on the new computer? Do I need to make sure the computer is connected to the Internet when I uninstall the program from the old computer?

My sons dad bought him and ipod and my niece used her itunes library to add music and videos on it. They live in another state and we have questions because we don't want him to lose all of the music or any of the apps.

My son's dad bought him an ipod and my niece used her itune library to put music and videos on his ipod. The problem we are haveing is that she lives in another state and we are not sure how to manange his account without losing some of the songs and all of his apps. There are some songs that are on his ipod that are duplicates, there are some songs that he doesn't like or listen to, and there are some songs on there that I do NOT want him to listen to because of the language and the lyrics. He is 10 there are just some things I feel that he is too young to listen to.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can use different ID's for iTunes and iCloud.
Just delete the account in settings > iCloud and create them their own account.
if the children are minors, you wiil need to create and be responsible for each account yourself.
