Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

If my ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account. I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
*I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding. You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum. Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

On my ipod it deleted all my music but when i plug my ipod in all the music is there but it wont let me play it. how do i get my music back?

i plugged my ipod in and i tried to play a song and a grey explanation mark showed up and it wouldn't play and when i looked at my ipod it didnt have any music on it, when before it had like more than 500 songs. but now everytime i plug it in all my music shows up but it wont play and it only says i dont have any music on my ipod. i really dont want to have to put ALL those songs back on and im hoping there is a way i can fix it.

The ! in iTunes next to a song: The song can’t be located; it may have been moved or deleted
To find the music files see:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

That's a hardware problem. Only Apple can help you.

HT4972 I tried updating my ipod from iOS 4 to iOS 5 but after it restored and i tried configuring it i receive an unable to activate message?

Well that is likely to be your problem. After the upgrade the phone locked to the orginal carrier. You will need to find out who that was and either use a compatible SIM from that carrier or have that carrier offically unlock the phone

My ipod says it's up to date, but it's not and I can't update/restore

Itunes updated to 7.0.2 and I can load up my own CDs onto my ipod nano. I can buy new tunes on the internet and they load into my itunes library but the purchased tunes don't load onto my ipod - I keep getting a error message that my ipod software is out of date. I've tried uninstalling itunes but keep having the same problem. My ipod preferences page tells me I have software version 5.1 on the ipod. I can see the buttons for update/restore, but this whole section is grayed out and the buttons don't work. What can I do?

When you come back, try this.
Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.
If the device manager is empty, see this: iPod not appearing in Windows device manager.
It's a long shot but worth a try.

Ipod won't mount w/ firewire400 anymore, but USB2.0 it will. Why?

I've trolled through numerous articles & discussion threads, but I can't seem to find anything that deals with this issue specifically.
I want to revert to using my firewire connector instead of USB, but cannot get iTunes to recognize iPod. All it does is charge it. I've tried both FirewWire ports.
When i first got this iPod, firewire connector is what I used, but then i changed to USB (was trying to move files from mac to PC at work then).
Now i'm running out of ports, and would like to free up a USB port (on computer; keyboard one gives 'low power warning) by shifting iPod to an available FireWire slot.
anyone know how to do this?
ipod is Mac formatted --- i had reformat for windows for the hard disk use i was doing then, but have since restored it to Mac format.

No worry. I am not too sure whether it is one of the following caused the problem:-
1. Your iMac Firewire port
2. Your iPod Firewire cable
3. OS on your iMac
4. iPod's dock
I believe that you may have read this

Go and try with another Mac computer, if it can be read then it is the problem of your iMac.

Why isn't my ipod nano not getting podcasts after I switched to Windows 8

My old computer died recently, so I switched to a laptop that runs Windows 8. I downloaded itunes on to it. I can see the new podcasts download at the top of itunes, but these new episodes don't show up on my ipod. When I click on My Ipod, the sync button on the bottom doesn't work. I also cant find the bar that I used to use at the top to disconnect my ipod.
I've tried to remove all the apple software and reinstall, but I get the same results.
Please help, as now my ipod is useless without being able to download new podcasts.
Thans in advance

Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below.

My ipod is not getting charged, and its not being recognized by windows

The day before, i left my ipod in the bathroom for the whole day without doing anything to it. Yes, the battery was already drained i just didn't charge it.
Today, I connected my ipod to my computer to charge but nothign is happening. Usually it'll say say something like "please wait very low battery", but as of now its completely blank. I did the basic troubleshooting procedures, reseting, restarting pc, updating... etc. I also tried to connect to a different computer but it still doesnt' work. I always leave the cable connected to the pc sitting on my desk and i'm positive nothign happenend to it, unless it broke while sitting on a table. I've had this ipod for bout 8 months now and this has never happened.
Is there anything else i can do to fix this before sending it to apple?
Thanks

1. Battery life IS directly related to quantity of charge cycles.
2. I never heard the "400" figure. Where did you get it from?
3. Even if "400" is correct, the battery could have been defective from the start and perhaps this one can take only 100 charge cycles. For what it's worth, it does seem like it died too soon. From what I've seen here on the forums, batteries typically ast 18 to 24 months, obviously dependent on usage.
4. I could be totally wrong about the battery being shot! I just can't imagine what else it could be.
All the above notwithstanding...
I don't think that the magnet storage is a good idea but I don't think that it would cause this problem. Unfortunately, the bottom line is that you can't do any testing or try any of the basic repair sequences if you can't charge the iPod. If you're close to an Apple Store (owned and operated by Apple), take it to the "Genius Guy" or whatever he's really called. You will need an appointment. Don't tell Apple about the magnets!

My volume won't work on some of my apps but works on podcasts and my music. What is happening

When I use my apps like I funny and tapped out or want to watch video clips there is no sound, but I can listen to my music and podcasts without any problem. I have tried restarting my iPad several times and it still does not work. Any suggestions?

Your system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Sorry no not if you can't input your passcode to unlock the phone.
Usually if you been syncing to iTunes on a regular basis it shouldn't ask for you to unlock it.
does your computer read your ipad as a camera so you can import them Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
