Ipod Music and Movies

Hi, me again....
I have an Ipod mini and had no problems putting music onto itfrom either my Mac or a friends. Now however, am I right in thinking that they have stopped this and you can only Sync from one computer? e.g. If I turnj sync off and go to a friends to copy a couple of songs, it will clear my previous library?
The second question is, I want to put a couple of movies on my new Ipod 5th generation. I have a mere 2gb of space on my Ibook but have a few films on my external h/d (size 700mb)that I would like to transfer? How do I go about this please?
Again, any advice would be much appreciated!
Regards
joeandchez

You said it shows up in iTunes right? So does it also show up as a drive? Can you enable disk use on it? If so then can you see your extra files or are they lost but still on there somewhere do you think?
Perhaps you can find the files among your hidden files on the iPod?

My ipod won't sync and it keeps coming up with an error message saying "internal error" or it tries to get me to restore from a backup. All of my music and movies have been wiped from my ipod and the apps don't work. The backups don't work either. help.

I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to sync it and it came up with an error message saying that it encoutered an internal error and it refused to sync.
I then unplugged it and plugged it back in and this time it told me that I needed to restore from a backup or set it up as a new ipod. I tried to restore from a backup but it came up with the error message "Backup session failed" every time. I then looked on my ipod and all of my music and movies are gone though it still says that they are on the ipod in itunes. I decided to use the restore function and let that finish. After restoring it still doesn't allow me to sync or back up and The music and movies can still not be seen. I am currently attempting to copy the music and movies to my ipod though this did not work with my apps as they transfered but when I attempted to open them they just crash... If someone could please help me it would be great. It is driving me crazy.

If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

How do I get music and movies from iPod to my computer?

Hi How can I put all of my music and movies that are on my iPod onto my computer? They were all on my computer before but became erased. Thanks!

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

IPod touch gets music and movies deleted.

This is a new issue with iOS6 and/or iTunes 10.7.
I have a 4th gen iPod touch, and twice in the past week it has had all the music and movies (but not apps or pictures) deleted. The only way to fix this is to go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all files and settings and restore it like it was out of the box; trying to sync it again or choosing different combinations of songs does not work, it just will not sync the music. Is anybody else encountering this issue?

Transferring music and movies from ipod to new computer

ive tried free programs that end having to be paid for which i cant do and i cant seem to figure out how to get unpurchased music and movies off my ipod onto a new computer.keep in mind i dont have my old hard drive with my music on it hooked up.can anybody help pleaseeeee?

For all non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

I was wondering why when i restored my iphoe5 from my laptop now when I try to play my music and movies a blog pops up saying (the requested URL was not found on this server)?

The problem resolved itself when I resynced the iPod with my computer. I suspect the error displayed when I tried syncing with my laptop and canceled out of it.

Not playing purchased music and movies...

My new iPod touch isn't playing some of my purchased music and movies. It will not play any movies at all. When I try, a pop up appears saying "This movie could not be played." And from what I've noticed all purchased music bought before 1/1/09, do not play. That's what I've noticed, however, I'm not 100% positive.

See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23399558#23399558 to determine if there are the same problems you are experiencing. I have spent over 6 hours on this issue trying to isolate if it is a hardware, software, network, iTunes account, or Apple device issue. My initial results indicate it is a software specific issue related to the Apply TV hardware device. it appears for some, resetting the software works, or others - signing back in, for others, nothing works....

Updated iTouch to 2.2 application and it ERASED all of my music and movies

I have an iPod iTouch 32GB that I bought over a year ago. Today, I updated my iTouch with the application update 2.2 from my Mac and it erased all my music from my iTouch. When I tried to manually drag my music from my Mac over to my iTouch, it did not work. It took me over a year to purchase music, download and get my iTouch organized and now because of the recent update of the 2.2 application, it wiped everything off my iTouch and I cannot find the fix. I still have my music and movies on my Mac but it will not let me copy it to my iTouch. I read the help menu and some of the discussion and nothing remotely helpful is available to help me drag my music and movies from my computer to my iTouch. Am I supposed to re-purchase the music and movies again? What's the fix to put back all of my music from my Mac to my iTouch when dragging or synching does not work. Did my music/movies expire? I tried contacting Apple and guess what, they are not available to answer support questions from us.

Did you try going to back version 2.1? I assume thats what you had before going to 2.2?
Do to so, in your iTunes, click on your iTouch. Shift click the "restore" button and you should see a few .IPSW files. Find the one that says 2.1 and let iTunes recover your iTouch.
Hope this helps!
