Ipod classic music to Mac Book Air
I am a new owner of a Mac always used PC in the past, and have an Ipod classic from a ba-billion years ago (2006)
My old PC computer died.
My old itunes account was attached to an email that got hacked and I can no longer use.
When I try to log in to the account through apple it says my birthday is wrong. (I know when I was born) so I assume this has to do with my email being hacked.
I cannot get purchaced music off my ipod.
I also keep getting an error message everytime I try to transfer music from the "harddrive" option of the ipod classic to the new computer. I have music going back as far as 2002 on this ipod from several different computers, cds, etc. All paid for! Nothing stolen, but I cannot get it from my ipod to my new mac Its so frustrating because I didn't hack anything or steal anything and now it looks like I'm either going to never buy new music for my ipod or erase and start all over...
Any advice to keep all the music would be appreciated!
I never had any problems transfering from one computer to the other with a PC does apple do this on purpose? It really makes me wonder if I made the right choice if everything is going to be more difficult on my new Mac?
Also I cannot get the ipod to stay connected to my Mac for more than a min??
Everything about this switch is annoying and doesn't make sense. It's an apple product trying to work with another apple product so why is it so much trouble?

How can I get my music from my ipod to my new mac book air??
I bought a new macbook and can not figure out how to move my music from my ipod to the new computer?
Hi.
You will need some sort of third-party software to 'drag' your music out of your iPod.
In order to make sure people don't use their iPods as giant portable disks to share 1000's of songs, they haven't made a function to extract your music from the device.
As said, you'll need some sort of software to do so.
I hope this was helpful. -
My mac will restart & show Blue Screen when plugged ipod classic into my mac
When i plugged ipod into my mac and i put to the Disk Mode my ipod , the computer will restart & don't let me to restore my ipod !!!! Please help and give me a solution !!!
My ipod & mac info :
iPod Classic 160gb (2009)
Mac Book Pro (2011)
iTunes 11.1.3If your computer is a 2011, you can stop the blue screen by turning off graphic card switching. Under apple, system preferences, energy, uncheck box. Temporary fix. Your logic board may need to be replaced if you are under warranty or have apple care otherwise $1000.00. May be software or firmware problem but apple has provided no info. Replacing logic board has corrected problem for some users and not others. Everything I've mentioned only applies to 2011 MBPs.

Home Sharing one Mac Book Air Will Not allow Music to Transfer to the MAC
First here's what we have
2 users, (2) iPhones and Mac Book Pro and Mac Book Air and a Windows PC
All computers are set to manually manage music.
I have home sharing set on all 3 computers. When l log into either the Macs or the PC I can drag music I want between either computer with no problems. All computers are authorized. When my wife logs into her account on her Mac Air she cannot move any music from the shared computers. We have separate iTunes accounts. Anyone have any idea, why when using her user account she cannot drag the music files over to her Mac AirStephenm52 wrote:

for home sharing to work, iTunes must be authorized to the same user account.

Hi.. I'm new to mac, I've got a mac book air and time capsule is it possible to save music,video from iTunes Store directly to time capsule leaving my 128GB Mac free? If so please help..
You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

I tried mac book air 128GB to sync songs to my new iPod touch 5th generation but couldn't. At 1st time I managed sync some songs but I think because of the storage so can't sync all. I even used toshiba to sync also can't!?
Any suggestion? Help!1. Make sure iTune (computer) is using the latest software.
2. Make sure iPad is using the latest software.
3. Try a different USB cable if necessary. -

4. Re-index Macintosh HD.
This will take a while. Wait until it is finished.

5.Try OmniDiskSweeper. This will show the storage size details of the items.

Select Macintosh HD and click “Sweep Selected Drive” at the bottom.
Be careful. Delete only the files that can be safely deleted. If you are not sure about any file, don’t touch it. -

I recently purchased a Mac Book Air and wanted to know what would be the best external hard drive to buy as far as the brand and GB or TB are concerned? I will basically just be storing music, papers, and a lot of pictures. Also, how should I go about charging my computer? Should I wait until it is close to dying and then charge it?
I have had good success with HGST and Seagate HDDs. I suggest a HDD that is powered by the MBA eliminating the need for an AC cord. They now come up to 1.5 TB in capacity. In my opinion, one cannot have too much storage. If necessary, let your bank account be your guide.

I have a 2nd Gen MAc book Air with Lion . The 60GB hard disc has quickly filled up despite me keeping most of my data on a portable hard drive . I used disk inspector to locate the problem but found that it was was in 20 GB of hidden files in my user directory . Is this correct and is there anything i can do about it ? Using disk inspector you can not see individual hudden diretories or files. I did unhide them but there is a mass of diretories etc and so no way i could see if this is one or multiple files using the space. Library System and Applications are at 4 3 and 3 GB respectvely. The data I actually keep on there is 9GB Thanks for any help
I think the problem is Quick Time Player. I am using OS 10.6.8 by the way.
I tried it out again.
I had about 26 GB of space before I played an .avi video.
After the movie started to play (it was slow to load), I got a warning message that my startup disk was full. I opened Disk Utility and it told me I had no space left (about 20 MB or something like that was left).
I watched to the end of the movie.
Then I quit Quicktime Player.
And I shut down the computer.
I turned on the computer and checked Disk Utility. I have about 26 GB of space.
I think for some reason Quicktime Player uses up a lot of the disk space when it runs movies that are problematic. This movie I was watching did not open with vlc.
I normally use vlc to watch movies.
Probably it doesn't use up this much space when the movie is OK.
I think there's a problem with this particular movie. It is about 50 MB so it's not that big a file. I watch .smi subtitles with it. The Quicktime Player automatically loads the subtitle file in this case because the subtitle file has the same name as the movie file.
I watched about 10 movie files from the same series that I downloaded together and did not have any problem watching them. I watched them on vlc. But this latest movie had problems I think (as I repeat). It did not load on vlc even though I waited for a minute, and normally movies load instantly on vlc.
So I think that movie file caused problems. It made QT player use up a lot of hard disk space.
I had better avoid watching that movie in the future. I don't want it to wreck my hard drive.
So to sum up, everything is back to normal. I have the hard disk space that I should have. However, I am scared of damaging my hard drive due to shonky movie files that eat up all the space when they are played using QT player, and so I will not watch those files in the future, as I do not know why the files do that.
