Hello slambert9876,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
See this older post of mine on different ways to copy music from your iPod to your computer.

    First try this:
    - Go on iTunes computer
    - plug in the iPod
    - authorize your device from store/authorize
    - iPod / transfer from iPod by right clicking on the left pane
    This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud.

  • I want to charge my battery in the IPod but do not have my computer with me. Can I use the plug in wall outlet charger that I have for my IPad 2?

    I wish to charge my IPod but do not have my computer with me. can I charge the IPod with the plug in wall charger that I have for my IPad2?

    Yes.  However, the output of the iPad's wall charger may be a little less than what it would be if it were an actual iPod wall charger, so it may charge a little bit slower.  I'm not 100% positive though.

  • Songs are on my iPod but no longer in iTunes

    Hello everyone,
    I just had some computer work done and had to re-install iTunes (the latest version). When I open it up it still shows all the song titles I had before and the correct number of songs. HOWEVER the majority of them won't play. When I try to it says 'file not located - would you like to search for it?' or something along those lines. It seems as though the only files it finds are from cd's I imported and podcasts. Basically I'm missing about 4500 songs, though the titles are there.
    My iPod seemed to sync alright to iTunes and, luckily, all the songs are still on my iPod.
    So here's the question: Is there a way to plug in your iPod and have the song files go INTO iTunes. Like I know they update each other with playlists, play counts etc. I'd really like to recover the songs onto my hard drive.
    I've got windows xp, latest iTunes and an iPod video.
    Sorry this was so long; just wanted to explain it as well as I could.

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (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 can be messy.
    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.
    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 have 1 ipod but  have diffrent acounts. my computer is setup for my ipod 4th gen that i had stolen and i would like to sync all of that music to my older nano. is there a way to do that without wiping out all my old songs that were on my nano?

    so i have one ipod and it is a 2005 ipod nano. i have plugged into my computer and i cant get to the music on it. i am trying to burn it onto a disk or even a diffrent folder on my computer so i can just have select songs on my ipod. the reason i have 2 diffrent accounts is because i made a new account for my ipod 4th generation and it got stolen. so now i have my older ipod. is there a way to get it onto my computer with out wiping all my old songs on it?

    iPods do not work with "accounts."  They work with your iTunes library.  You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod.  One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time.  iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
    However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content.  Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to?  If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library.  Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library.  You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
    If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

  • External speakers (Bose) quit working suddenly. The speakers work with an iPod but no longer on the iMac

    These speakers have worked forever! Now they suddenly quit working. Plugged them into my iPod and they work fine. Headphones likewise don't work on the iMac. Seems to be a problem with the port and not the speaker system. Internal speakers work ok, but are far inferior to the Bose system. Are there some diagonstics I can run on this particular port? Shouldn't be a software problem (I'm running Lion10.7.5)

    This solved my problem: in HARDWARE - Sound Preferences, I selected OUTPUT. I highlighted Headphone Port, (It was not originally highlighted), and then performed a complete shutdown (not restart). Re-booted, launched iTunes and the Bose speakers were working, as were the headphones.
    This may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. Good Luck!

  • 20gig Ipod Photo no longer syncs to computer

    Hello! I'm running into some problems with my 20gig Ipod photo. Recently it hasn't been syncing with my songs on my itunes, and every time I've attempted to it has said "Ipod is stuck in restore mode...etc" I've attempted to restore it numerous times, but it has failed on every attempt. My friend suggested a format of the Ipod would work, but so far all it has done is wipe all my songs from the Ipod, and the ipod is still in restore mode apparently.
    Anyone experience something similar?

    Backtracking to something you mentioned earlier:
    I've attempted to restore it numerous times, but it has failed on every attempt.
    Are you getting any error messages with that restore failure? If so, what error message numbers are you getting with the message? If it's one of the ones mentioned in the following document, do any of the procedures described in that document help?
    Error 1415, 1417, 1418, or 1428 when restoring or updating an iPod in iTunes 7 or later

  • Ipod Touch Takes Longer than my computer to start up.

    Why does the iPod touch 4g take about 37 secconds to start up? My WIndows 7 pc takes 34 seconds to start up. I have iOS 4.3 and have not jailbroken my iPod.

    Shouldn't take that long. You never really have to turn off your iPod Touch though, to be honest. Locking it is better for the battery and ensures that it is always ready for when you want it. The only advantage to turning it off is wiping the memory (RAM) clear, but you can do that manually by double tapping the Home Button, holding down on one of the apps found in the multitasking pane, and pressing the X.

  • Itunes Not Seeing My Ipod but Is Seen By My Computer

    First of all i have spent a good few hours looking at other peoples threads and i can see this seems to be a very common problem. I have a 30gig Video 5G ipod and it was originally installed on my laptop. The problem i have is i dont have much space on that laptop so i decided to move my ipod onto my pc. I have copied over all my itunes folder and its now installed and working on my pc.
    The problem is my ipod is not seen by itunes and therefore i cant do anything with it. I have tested it again on the laptop to determine its deffo a computer problem and it worked fine on there. Both Pc and Laptop are using the latest versions of itunes,
    I have tried the various methods that have been explained and still no joy. I have even restored my pc back to the orig installation date with no joy.
    I am hoping there is a solution as i dont want to have to re-install windows but its not looking like i have much choice.
    I bought this ipod of a colleague and he has had the ipod installed on more than one pc. Is it possible that the ipod has reached its limit of pc's it can be assigned too.
    I await your repsonse and thanks in advance
    Andy

    There is an Apple article on trouble shooting this problem, have you tried it?

  • My apple account won't  accept my credit card on the ipod but it will on the computer , PLEASE help!!!

    please help my ipod will accept the credit card on the computer but not on the ipod touch now i cant download apps or anything please help, thanks!

    Make sure that the account that you are using on the iPod Touch is indeed the same as on your computer. Check Settings > Store and see that the Apple IDs are the same. If you are using different accounts you may have different credit card information on the two accounts.
    If you can't figure this out contact the Apple Store. See Apple Store Customer Service on this web page: http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • Always had problems with my ipod, but now I had my computer "fixed" but...

    now when I connect it the computer won't recognize it, neither will itunes what do I do to fix this?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - See if another computer sees the iPod in iTunes
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I updated my iPod and all of my stuff is gone on my iPod, but its still on my computer on iTunes. When I try and sync it, nothing syncs from the computer to the iPod. How in the heck do I get them back on?!

    Can anyone help me figure this out?

    I have the same problem but I just restored my I pod I didnt just updat it and

  • Itunes says the songs are synced, but they are not on the ipod.

    I recently erased everything off of my computer because it had a virus. I'm pretty sure this is why this has happened, but I have no idea how to fix it.
    What's happened is my iPod has over 100 songs on it, but when connected to the computer it says it has zero. I figured "no big deal." But it was. When I went to sync my songs onto my iPod, something happened. From iTunes, when I click on my iPod to view the songs, it has only the ones that I had just synced. Then when I unplugged my iPod to listen to them, the newly synced songs weren't there.
    I have no idea why uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes did this, since I've done that before when I was having problems with my computer. I would just use a different computer, but none are very convienient and it was a lot of songs that I tried to sync, so I'd have to import all of those into the other computer's library.
    I really don't want to have to restore my iPod if there's another way to fix this problem, because I don't want to do that if it won't definitely work. I have a lot of songs there that are no longer in my library (backed up and still on the external server, but its a lot to import individually.) that are on my iPod that I would still like to have on it.
    I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me. I have no clue what's wrong...

    This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

  • When my ipod nano is plugged into my computer it says ipod not found

    My ipod nano no longer connects to computer.  It still works when playing elsewhere and Itunes is working as well.  It is exempt from firewall so that's not the problem.  Not sure if my ipad or iphone will connect.  I am afraid to test them at this point.  I tried another usb cable (Apple) so that's not the problem.  Diagnostics says ipod not found.
