I added 2 cd's to itunes 11, I have an ipod classic 30gb, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

Hi Ihave an ipod classic 30gb, i imported 2 cd's into itunes on win xp pro sp3, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

It depends on how you previously added content to the iPod? Or are saying the iPod is currently empty, and you want to add these albums to it?
If you want to sync your entire iTunes music library to the iPod, which may or may not be just these two albums at this point, you can do the following. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. If you are using the latest iTunes 12, you do this by clicking the "device button" on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top). The button's icon looks like the connected device.
On the iPod's screen, there is a sidebar (along left side of window). In the sidebar, under Settings, click Music. To the right, the iPod's Music settings screen is shown, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod. Near the top, there is a checkbox for Sync Music. Check that box to enable automatic syncing. NOTE: If that box is not already checked, checking it will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your iTunes library. Any songs on the iPod now that are not in your current iTunes library will be lost.
Below that setting, there are two options for how to sync songs. 30GB is a decent amount of storage space, so if your entire iTunes library can fit on your iPod, you can use the option to sync Entire music library. Then click Apply. iTunes syncs your entire iTunes music library to your iPod. Going forward, any changes to your iTunes music library (such as adding more albums or songs) will sync automatically to the iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync if already connected).
If your situation is different, please reply back with more details.

I have an IPOD Classic 30GB. I thought the battery was not recharging so I bought a new battery and had it installed. The device will come on and has a message on the screen "Please wait. Very low battery."

I have an IPOD Classic 30GB. It would not stay on but a few seconds so I thought the battery was not recharging and bought a new battery. I charged the new battery overnight and when I turned it on I could see the apple for only a few seconds and it would go off. I tried the trouble shooting suggestions and reset the device. The screen is frozen with the message "Please Wait. Very low battery." I also thought it might be a problem with the display but since it is on now, I'm not sure what is going on with it.

There are several types of iPods that are "30GB," 3rd gen ("dock connector"), 4th gen ("click wheel" or "photo"), and 5th gen ("video"). This documents shows the iPod models

Which one is your iPod? Do you use a Mac or Windows PC? Do you have a power adapter?

IPod classic 30gb not holding charge

As stated above I have an iPod classic 30gb. After a few mins of removing from charger the iPod dies. Is there any way the battery can be replaced.?

You can hope that when it dries out that it will work. You shouldn't have turned it on yet....so let it sit for a few days and then see if it works. Other than that there isn't much you can do.

I have a iPod Classic, 30GB, software version 1.3 does it work with Lion?

only iOS devices like ipod touch(in wifi), ipad(in wifi), or iphone(in wifi) can sync automatically without the dock connector
so yes you do have to sync them onto your classic

Video format for ipod classic 30gb

Hi,
I've just bought a music video from the iTunes Store, but, when I try putting it on my older click wheel 30gb Ipod Classic, iTunes tells me it wasn't copied to the Ipod because it cannot be played on the Ipod. I checked the music video's format and found out it was m4v. Could that be the source of the problem? If so, do I have to convert it to mp4 or something similar? And how do I do that?
Any advice or help?

A 30GB iPod that plays video is a 5th gen iPod. NOTE: The 4th gen "classic" iPod with color display may also be 30GB, but those iPods cannot play videos.
Video format may be an issue, because the first iPod with video capability had a lower limit for video resolution. And if the video is "HD," that video is too high-res for even a new iPod classic.
NOTE: You can convert videos in iTunes using the command
menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
but that command is disabled for videos that use DRM (copy protection). A purchased video (such as a musiuc video) from the iTunes Store uses DRM. For purchased videso that are HD, you may be entitled to also download the SD (standard definition) version at no cost. The SD version may play on your iPod.

Ipod classic 30gb white screen-whirring

hi all. hopefully i can get some help on here although im afraid i already know the answer....ok older ipod classic. 30gb. worked great for yrs. then started freezing up more and more. wouldnt hold a chrarge very long. then one day plugged into kitchen dock and got a white flashing screen with a very loud whirring noise. no face or instructions on screen. so i thought mabey bad battery. got one from amazon. installed, came right on worked great. was told to run battery down all the way so it can be charged fully when 1st recharge comes around. plugged into dock, same thing, white screen, whirring. so, then i thought the hard drive, got one again from amazon (used, they dont mention that) installed this morning. put in dock, same thing. so am i looking at a logic board? or mother board? im aproaching the limit of the cost effectness?? of replacing parts now....ps if in fact its a bad mother, can i use the "new" hard drive and battery for our ipod 160gb?? thank you for your response.

I have the same problem that you do. I have tried all, restart, reboot, restore to its original settings and nothing. I have tried using the battery to run it off and I have charged it again and nothing happened. The equipment reproduces music, but with a white screem is imposible to operate it. I guess I will try to use the warranty, but I live abroad the US. If you have any progress, please let me know. Good luck, regards, ajlorenzos

Ipod classic 30gb white screen

Ok its my friends moms ipod classic. About 2 years ago she plugged it into her ipod sound dock and it brought up a white screen with a small ipod on it with a :( that said "www.apple.com/support/ipod. She gave it to me last night to try to fix it. I plugged it into my ipod sound dock to charge it, and it said "very low battery" for about an hour, then the white support screen came up. I tried running diagnostics, and the hard drive test passed. I plugged it into the computer, and nothing happened. However, I was able to get it to connect by holding select + menu, then select + play. I backed up her music, and opened itunes. It said something about a restore, so I did it, it downloaded the firmware, and then disconnected and brought up the white screen.I tried doing it again and the same thing happened. I ran the diagnostics test again to check the battery and here is the result for BatteryA2D: Battery=427 (3998mV) Menu to exit. ADC Test:
ID=0x57
VCC=427 (3998mV)

What should I do?
The ipod is in great condition for its age. There's no dents in it and there's barely any scratches. Is it a hardware issue or a software issue? Thanks. If you need pictures or a video of what its doing, contact me at [email protected]
It is a 30gb ipod classic.

See these troubleshooting articles.
My iPod is sad.
iPod displays a "sad iPod" icon.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

PLEASE please help........ipod classic 30gb

Hey everyone can someone please help me with this problem i have, my 30gb ipod classic which my friend gave me just isnt syncing properly it was when i got it but now it cannot be bothered, it gets to a certain amount of songs and then i jsut quits, its says error -69 or some bollacks like that, please excuse my lack of knowledge of ALL things technological!! well anyway i tried media monkey and winamp and still it has the same problem only around 400 songs can be put on to it, i could of lived with that had the problem not gotten worse, the little fecker let me put a further 1000 songs on it once and then i thought it must have decided it likes me after all and attemped to put more on it, well it wiped it and and now i can only get 100 songs on it, i have restored it countless times in itunes, and i have attemped to format it on the windows thingie (once again im sorry for my lack of knowledge) it comes up saying "windows was unable to format, i do the wee scan thing the attemps to recover and fix bad sectors, that works grand but it doesnt do anything to fix it,i still can not put anymore than 100 songs on it!! and i did the disk diagnosis thing, i have like 1000 reallocs? and no pending sectors, is that too many reallocs and is there any way to fix them., im at my wits end (which isnt very long) and im about ready to throw the thing out the window. please can somebody help me

My only guess is that age is playing a factor and that your hard drive is causing you problems. The 30GB came out 2005-2006 so it's been out there quite a while. Maybe a diagnostic visit to the Apple Store can help.

Ipod classic 30gb not recognized by windows 7

i have a ipod classic and i just got a dell with windows 7 but my ipod wont show up. it just charging. i just downloaded itunes 9.2 and it picked up all my music on my computer but my ipod just charges when i plug it in. Can anyone help me

I'm having the same kind of problem and haved tried pretty much everything my self. We have two computers. One with Vista and the other with XP pro. We have three iPods.
80g video, Touch first generation and touch second generation. Everything works fine with the first two, but windows cannot find the driver for the 2nd generation touch. Altough all drivers seem to be installed. The problem started with the Vista computer. I've uninstalled and re-installed everything and nothing works. Took everything on the XP computer, and the 2nd generation touch is still not recognized.
Of course I-tunes is up to date and all drivers as well.

The 1st and 2nd gen shuffles do not have an automatic syncing mode, like later shuffles and the "big" iPods. It is maintained manually (or by using the Autofill feature).
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
To add songs to the shuffle... Show a list of songs in the iTunes window. For example, you can select Music under LIBRARY (in the sidebar) to show your complete iTunes music library list. Select a song and drag it to the shuffle in the sidebar. You can do this with more than one song selected. Alternately, select the song(s), right-click the selection, and choose the command to Add to Playlist -> [name of iPod].
To remove songs from the shuffle... Select the shuffle in the sidebar. To the right, it's Settings screen is shown. Toward the top, where it says Settings, click on On This iPod (to the right). The list of songs on the shuffle is shown below. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with more than one song selected.
NOTE: At the bottom of the shuffle's list of songs, there are controls for the Autofill feature. You can also use Autofill to fill your shuffle from your music library or from a specific playlist.
