IPod classic and iPod nano - two mediathek possible?

We had first an iPod nano, now we also have iPod classic. A iPod nano is too small for the hole mediathek of iPod classic - how can I make differences for the automatic "synchronizing"? For iPod classic I want to use the old mediathek too. And additional, how can I transfer mediathek to another place (path)?

I don't know if these work yet on the 120GB, but they do on my 80.
WinAmp and Media Monkey. If you can feel comfortable enough to move away from iTunes, try either of those. I recommend Media Monkey because it will scan your whole iTunes library and let you manually manage the files. Even if you have music not in the iTunes library, you can still add that to the iPod because MM will scan whatever folders you tell it to and add them to it's own library files, so you can then sync your iPod with music from any folder. Just be sure to check "force iTunes folder style" under player options, so the music shows and plays on your iPod correctly. I didn't use enough of WinAmp with my iPod to recommend it(I only use it for it's great LAME MP3 encoder), but it does have iPod plug-ins to sync your iPod and should scan your music files also.
HOWEVER, you may still need to install iTunes 8 in case you need to restore the iPod. I always keep iTunes installed just in case.

What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

Hello laurie0823,
already have ipod 32 gig and just go ipod touch 8 gig can i use both on same itunes account?
Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or library.
if i hook up ipod touch will i lose all of the stuff in library or can i sync library to ipod touch?
No you can sync your content to any number of devices.
Simply, plug new iPod in, configure it to sync with iTunes library however you wish and be on your way.
For more help on different ways to manage multiple ipods with one computer, see this Apple support document.

Can i have an ipod classic and ipod shuffle linked to one library

I recently tried to charge and sync my ipod shuffle and it kept crashing....it then told me to restore it. Which i did..however, i then get the message below.
I do not have a disc, and have no idea what the below means.
many thanks for your help!
F:\refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a net work. check to make sure that the disc is properly
inserted or that you are connected to the internet or your network, then try it again.If it still cant be located the information might have been moved to
a different location.

To the question in your title, yes you can have as many iDevices as you wish, but you can only connect one to the computer at a time. The easiest way to manage them is probably to give each device it's own core playlist oof content although you can add easily add more than one playlist to each device as long as the sum total of the data fits within the capacity of the device.
I'm not sure about your error message. This sometimes comes up during installation activies when drives have been moved around. Alternatively Windows might be complaining because iTunes effectively removes the iPod from the list of drives during formatting. Can you get the restore to complete or does it do the same thing again?

ITunes immediately ejecting my two iPod Classics and my Ipod Nano (6gen)

ITunes ejects my two iPod Classics and my iPod nano (6th gen). All synced fine a few days ago, never had any problems. None of them are used as disks. If I uninstall iTunes, they will mount and I can see all three of them in Disk Utility. Verify Disk ➔ no problems. If I open iTunes, all three are disconnected by iTunes before they show up in the program. And they are ejected by Disk Utility such that the Mac no longer sees them.
IPhone 5 on the latest software, iPhone 6+ and iPad 3 all sync just fine.
Tried deleting all the com. preferences, etc. Uninstalling and re-installed iTunes twice, trashed SyncServices file, no resolution. Seems to me it's something to do with iTunesHelper refusing the connection between the iPods.
Running Yosemite 10.10.2, could be the update to the pre-release beta that did it. Or could be installing Last.fm Scrobbler, but that was completely eliminated, so I'm guessing it's the pre-release beta.
Any suggestions?

The answer is rolling back to 10.10.1 from Time Machine. Doing that solved my problem.

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

My MacBook Pro hard drive crashed a little while ago and has been replaced. Is it possible to take tunes from iPod Classic and transfer all of them back to iTunes on computer?

Possible iPod Classic and Oracle Netbeans/Java Issue

I recently lost all the music from my iPod Classic and was unable to restore from iTunes or reset to factory defaults. The iPod showed a large amount of disk usage but no music, video, photos, etc. and it took forever to connect to my Windows USB port. After battling this and trying tons of ideas on the net, the Apple Store had to reformat the device from a Mac and reset the drive. Today I just had the same issue and I think the issue was caused by Oracle Netbeans and/or Java being loaded to my desktop. Both times I had this issue was after downloading Oracle NetBeans for a development tool. Has anyone else seen this issue?

1. How likely is it that Apple will fix this issue with future firmware releases?
No-one here could even hazard a guess. We're just users like yourself. Do Philips claim this DVD player is compatible? Isn't it the responsibility of the makers of the DVD player to ensure it works with the Classic?
2. Are other 3rd party devices (i.e. Docks, Automobiles, etc.) affected by this firmware release?
Yes. Almost all older 3rd party accessories don't work with the Classic. There have been many posts about such issues both here and other iPod forums.
3. Is there any way to go back to firmware release 1.0.2? I know backing off firmware releases is possible with the iPhone.
This may be of help but you have to have the previous version still on your computer.
Remove the latest update from the iTunes/iPod updates folder.
In Windows XP but I think it's found in "Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates."
Then prevent iTunes from checking the internet for a new update (preferences/general and remove the check mark from "check for updates automatically), then click restore. Or simply disconnect your modem from the computer.
Then restore the iPod.
You should then be asked if you want to use the previous version of the iPod software.

Do you have trouble with iPod Classic and Ford's SYNC?

Anyone have trouble with Ford SYNC recognizing iPod Classic? When I first bought my Lincoln my iPod Classic worked perfectly--just like it should with Ford SYNC. But a few months ago, when I plug in the iPod using a USB cable I get the message on Ford Sync that says, "incompatible device". At first I thought it was a ford problem so I began testing using a 2010 Buick and a 2010 Lincoln Navigator. My iPod classic doesn't work in either. However, a iPod nano works perfectly in either car. Also if I put some of my music on a flash drive it works fine in the Lincoln. So, I'm convinced that the problem is some type of update that occurred to my iPod or to iTunes.
I have tried several iPod Classics and several USB cables so it is definitely aiPod Classic software problem. By the way, my iPod Classics work fine by themselves--just not through Ford's SYNC.
I'm pretty lost as to possible solutions.
Thanks,

I have done some experimenting and testing with my old Classic iPod that uses operating system 3.1.1. I don't think this operating system has changed. However, later generation iPods such as nano, shuffle that use a different operating system seem to work absolutely perfectly in my 2010 Lincoln Navigator, especially the ones without a hard drive (i.e. flash drive). My conclusion is that the Ford SYNC updates have somehow not been backward compatible with the older operating system. I know this can be attributed to Apple for part of the problem but I suspect that Ford somehow did not do enough testing with the older iPod operating systems. Turns out there are probably 7 or more operating systems on iPods and while you would assume that "backward compatibility" is a no-brainer, that seems not to be the case with second party vendors such as Ford SYNC. Personally, I have given up trying to solve this problem and have gone to flash drive and a "line in" option. My old Classic iPod works exceptionally well, plus I have a spare so I can probably use these thing till "H freezes over". Being a older retired American these things may actually last a life time!

IPod Classic and alarm settings & other ramblings

Hi,
Question: Did anybody notice that when setting an alarm, there is no more "Bell" icon showing up on the iPod, next to the alarm to show that it is active?
I really start wondering about all those little pesky glitches/bugs/whatever which start troubleing me
that I purchased an iPod Classic right away.
Hope those things will be fixed soon:
-Correct synching (even after playing a game on the iPod)
-Correct address book label synching (private/work labels correctly set on iPod, like in address book)
-purchased games correctly displayed (preview image in games list missing)
-CoverFlow sortable by "Album Artist", like on iTunes (so it might get usefull to have this option...)
-Apple Hi-Fi additional options (like the 5th Gen iPod - it's a shame that a 400€ Box isn't supported anymore after 1 year of praise...)
-If Apple is playing out nice, bring back the Video Out for all those people having accessories now useless...
Anyway, hope there will be an FW update soon (waiting now since 2 weeks...) which addresses all those small things, to make using the iPod Classic again a good User Experience.
(Send already 2 weeks ago Feedback to Apple over all this points - No answer yet).
Cheers,
S.,
Owner of
iPod 3rd Gen, iPod 4th Gen, iPod 5th Gen, iPod Classic, 2 iPod Nano's 1st Gen, PowerBook G4, MacPro Quad, 2 30" Cinema Displays and a bunch of Video Cables not working anymore with my iPod Classic....

I think many people have the same problem, looking at all those forum entries.

Photos display from Notes with iPod Classic, but not Nano

I have created links to 5 small .jpg photos in a single Notes file in an iPod Classic, and each link and photo works and displays just fine. However, when I use the same file and photos on a Nano, (copied the exact same file structure and content from the iPod Classic) the links work, but the photo displays as a blank white screen with "Oya" displayed in the upper left hand corner.
Any idea what causes the "Oya" error message to be displayed?
Thanks

Try this:
Use the click wheel on the ipod
Go to the Menu >> scroll through the Settings >> on my iPod nano 3 gen I can change the settings for Shuffle & Repeat >> On or Off. Skip is not available.
May be on your iPod in the menu you could change the Skip >> On or Off.

My itunes library is backed onto hard drive, I am visiting a relative soon and wish to share our music, we both have ipod classics and he has i tunes installed onto his pc.
I don't want to take my pc with me but the hard drive may be an option.

Or is there a way we can do it with just the i pods and pc? Pls help techno novice!

System Preferences - Sharing. If you cannot find System Preferences, then use Command - Spacebar and type System Preference and when you see it in Spotlight (uper right) hit return.

HT1657 I rented a movie to add onto my ipod classic and when I moved it to my ipod it is no longer there and it is no longer in my purchased section on my itunes.

I recently rented a movie to add on my ipod classic and it wasn't transferring when I would sync so I manually move it to my ipod but when I go on my ipod it is not there and it is no longer in my purchases on itunes. help!

Is this on your computer or on iPad/iPhone ? If you are on an iPad or iPhone then it should have downloaded into the Videos app - iTunes on those devices is just the iTunes store, and if you just see the Ts & Cs link on the Downloads tab then that means that there are no outstanding downloads waiting.
