Ipod nano hard disk

How do I delete songs from my ipod hard disk?
for some reason when I loaded in the software for my I pod I loaded all the songs in my computer--109 of them on to the Ipod how do I get them deleted???

So you don't want all of the songs that are on your computer to be on your iPod? Is that correct?
You have 2 options.
1. In the iPod Summary Window, go to the Music tab. Then, change the iPod to Automatically Update only Selected Playlists. That is if you want only those playlists to be on the iPod.
2. Manually Update the iPod. This would let you manually delete songs off the iPod. Check this out:
Managing Songs Manually
I hope this helps!

Using ipod as hard disk

I use my ipod's hard disk to transfer music from my office pc to my home pc. I decided not to delete the iTunes Music Folder from the ipod's hd in case my PC's hd crashed. Is this recommended? I only have 6GB of music downloaded so space is not an issue (for now).
Also, I like to know if using ipod during flights is ok? I know that using cellphones are not allowed but how abt ipod?

HT4235 Itunes only sees ipod nano in disk mode and still won't sync it

I have to place my ipod nano in disk mode for itunes (or Windows for that matter) to find it. In disk mode Windows and Itunes see the ipod and it passes all the diagnostic tests save for the sync test where it can no longer see the ipod and apparently a file is also not found. I'm ready to just reset it, but am unable to make that happen.
This problem began when I downloaded some songs from Amazon and fumbled the job purchasing and downloading some of them twice. Not very smart, but it was late. Anyway, I also downloaded their Cloud player and had it pass the songs to itunes. It was in itunes that I saw the duplicate copies of the songs. Itunes and the cloud player proceeded to butt heads, I deleted the the extra song copies and also uninstalled the Amazon cloud player. Then itunes went into the state I've described above.
I'd appreciate any help.

Hi GChild6,
If your iPod is being recognized as a disk, you may find the following article helpful:

I erased my iPod nano with disk utility and tried to restore but I get a 1430 error and it never restores.

Ok so I tried to connect my iPod nano to my computer, but when I opened iTunes, the iPod automatically ejected. I thought that restoring it would fix that, but since I couldn't restore it in iTunes because it kept ejecting itself, I decided to erase it using disk utility. I read on here that it's possible to do that. So then my iPod said to restore in iTunes after I erased it, so I did, but it failed with an 1430 error. How do I fix it? Is my iPod destroyed for good?

Take a look at this support document regarding that error. iPod: Can't restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439 - Apple Support

Reformatted ipod nano using disk utility - no longer works

Idiotically I decided to use disk utility to reformat my 8Gb iPod nano (5th Gen) as I wished to use it temporarily as a USB drive compatible with Mac and Windows. Now that I wish to use it again as Apple intended, I find that iTunes does not recognise it in the Source list.
It shows up fine on the desktop and when the iPod is charged, it always asks me to select a language, and then comes up with the menu screens (music, videos etc) but it is empty with no data.
I tried following the instructions in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540 but was foiled at step 5 as I do not have the file they wish me to trash.
Any clues on how I might go about fixing this? I would very much appreciate any assistance!!
Cheers

Hello kismet_kracker,
Maybe trying reformatting it again via *Disk Utility* except this time, change it's file system type to Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) and see if that helps.

Ipod as hard disk - Why am I not able to see the whole file?

I'm using my 80 gig 5th gen ipod as a hard disk for the first time. I've dragged a 32 KB text file to the ipod. When I scroll though the file all is great...but I'm not able to see the whole file? It's like I get one page and that's all. Any ideas to help me?

Do you mean the Notes function? If so, the file size per note is, I believe, 4k. Therefore, you'd need to break up a 32k file into several parts or it will be truncated.

IPOD nano in DISK MODE, but still not RECOGNIZED

My Ipod Nano has stopped being recognized by my PC (Windows XP OS). After reading the discussion topics here I had a hope that after switching it to DISK MODE, the PC might recognize my Nano. However, it still doesn't. I hope the Wizrds out here rectify the problem I am facing with my IPod.

Try restoring your iPod (in Disk Mode) from somebody else's computer. (This might replace everything on it with their music for the time being, but you already seem willing to wipe your iPod, so it should be OK.) If it works, then try to do the same thing again on yours. But the problem in this case would be not with your iPod but with your computer. Try reinstalling iTunes. If that doesn't work, then the issue is probably a more general one with your Windows installation and it may be difficult to find help here.
If on the other hand your iPod won't restore in disk mode from ANY computer, then the only option I see remaining is to take it in for servicing.

IPod intact; hard disk erased!

Yikes...long story short: the helpful people at Dell had me completely erase and reformat my hard disk. Everything was basically inaccessible at the time, so I couldn't save anything anyway.
Problem is this: the iPod mini is about half full. I'm afraid that since there is zero in my library, when I go to add an album I'll lose everything on the iPod. Am I worrying needlessly? Advice? Suggestions? Commiseration?
Thanks!!

hikinghigh,
These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

iPodRip Software
PodUtil Software
XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
You need at least three sets of your music:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

IPod Classic Hard Disk Ruined

To whom this may concern -
I am a long time Mac user. I love Macs, and I may always. But I've run into a huge problem now. I purchased an iPod Classic for my boyfriend. He lives in Argentina. He was charging it, and it fell on the floor. Nothing was damaged on the outside, but when he turns it on there's a big X. He went to the website to try and reboot it, but it didn't work. Now he's gone to the Mac Store in Cordoba Argentina. They took it apart (for a fee), and told him that he needs to pay over $200 to get it fixed. It cost me $190 to buy it here... mind you. They said that the Hard Disk is ruined.
Here's my question. The iPod is still under warranty. SINCE, you people say you have the best customer service, (which you DO NOT indicate WHERE you have the best customer service), I was wondering if he sends me their report of his iPod, (including his serial number and things), I could get him his hard disk, and we replace it there. He cannot send me his iPod for less than $70. So sending it to me in the States is not an option.
I am very upset at Mac. I thought they were the best for service and products. But his iPod broke, just by falling once. AND they won't fix it for free for him in Argentina. This is frustrating. If you can get me a Hard Disk for his iPod (i can show you anything you want to see, their report, his serial number, whatever you want) my opinions of Mac will be much better.
Why isn't there customer support all around the world? I'm moving there soon... and I'm nervous about my computer breaking there and the expense it will be to fix it.
Thank you for your help,
Maureen

They do have the highest rated customer support and they are good at honoring the warranty, which covers manufacturing defects. But a warranty is not an insurance policy and does not cover accidental damage. And the number of accidents it has doesn't matter. If you buy a car and get into just one accident, good luck with having the dealer fix the damage under your warranty. Apparently the fall was far enough to crash the heads on the hard drive.
If you purchased it with a credit card you might see if the one you used has extended warranty/insurance coverage. Otherwise you are looking at repairing it by putting in a new hard disk.

Use iPod as hard disk & listen to music?

Is it possible to use your iPod as a Hard Disk & be able to listen to the music on it?
Like, if you wanna save your music JUST INCASE your computer crashes ALL OF A SUDDEN, but you still want to be able to listen to music and enjoy your iPod & not just have it sitting there as an extra hard drive.
Does anybody know if it is possible to do both?
And if so, How?

Wrong.
Of course you can use your ipod as a hard disk as well as using it as an iPod to play music. There is nothing wrong with this at all.
There is one downside. The content will take up twice as much space on your iPod.
You'll need to sync your content to the iPod using itunes -AND- copy it manually to another folder using the iPod as a hard disk.
So, the answer really is YES, you can use your iPod as music player, and a hard disk for all of your content as long as your library takes up less than half the total capacity of your iPod hard drive.
Additioanlly, there are ways to copy the content off your iPod even when it's not being used as a hard disk. It requires third-party software, but it's possible. Thats another topic altogether.

After hard disk crash: How can I get my fotos from iPod to hard disk?

As I said my hard disk crashed. (iPod 3.gen. )
So now I have my photos only on the iPod but I can't get them on my hard disk.
(If I would sync my iPod they would be deleted...)
Do you have/know a good programme (free), that copies them back on the hard disk??
Thanks a lot
truckdriver64

f you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here, it's completely free: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. I don't know of any "free" ones but if your photos are of value to you then paying for a program makes perfect sense. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

Enabling ipod as hard disk with no computer

Hi,
I am currently away from home for 4 months and have no access to my mac or any other at present. I wanted to put all the pics and videos from my digital camera onto my ipod in their raw form (tiff, raw, but not jpeg) but I believe this is not possible unless the ipod has been enabled to use as a hard disk, I didn't know this before I left home.
Is there any way I can do this without a computer? Or would it be possible to go into an Apple shop (perhaps in Sydney as I will be passing through) and have it done there?
I apologise in advance as I will be slow to get back to any replies as I am having to use internet cafes often with dial up connection.
Thanks for any help.

Yes.
Hold the MENU and SELECT (Center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset the iPod. THen, while the Apple logo is displayed, press and hold the PLAY and SELECT buttons to enter Disk Mode.
Reset the iPod again to exit Disk Mode.
Cheers!
-Bryan

40GB ipod photo hard disk issue

As of a month ago, my 6 mo. old ipod photo began to act funny. It's not completely malfunctioning like others I've read about in the forum. But when I manually select a song further down in a playlist or in a different playlist, the ipod begins to vibrate enough that it was noticeable. This does not happen when it plays songs in order from a playlist. It only happens when manually selecting songs. It also takes a couple minutes to initially start up when turned on and at times can take up to 5 minutes to be recognized by itunes. When I first started using my ipod none of these events occurred. But they have become increasingly a problem. Is this a problem with the hard disk that I should have looked at? Or is it something that the next firmware update will take care of?
