IPod to different computer to view video

What do I need in order to use the iPod to connect to a different computer (doesn't have iTunes library), then view videos from iPod on that computer?
THanks

Hey Dan...
I'm interested in using some video clips for purposes at my office, , , therefore, can't load any software onto my work laptop (i.e. iTunes)......
Was hoping there was some cable connection I could utilize to bring the videos up in Windows Media player via my iPod.....
any chance of that?

How to play ipod on different computer than the library computer

I want ot use new / different computer to play ipod contents. I can see the contents but it is all greyed out.

you will need to have your ipod set to "manually manage songs and playlists" in order to play songs off the ipod through the other computer's itunes.
these resources might be of some assistance:

Connecting iPod directly to computer screen for video

Hi everyone
I would like to connect my iPod directly to my computer screen at work for watching videos after hours. Is there anyway (cable/adapter) to connect the iPod directly to the screen (DVI or VGA)?
I can't connect the iPod directly to the computer nor do I have a TV...
Many thanks

Depends on your screen. Some have ability to take RCA inputs. If yours does then get an iPod dock that supports RCA transfer.

Ipod on different computer

Sorry if its been asked before.
I just purchased a second computer and want to put my ipod sync software on it.
Can this be done on 2 different computers and if yes then how do I go about it?

Hello,
First off, be sure that you install all the iTunes and iPod software before connecting your iPod.
Try starting here -> Using iPod with multiple computers
If you have a version before iTunes 7.0, then try this link -> Using iPod with multiple computers on iTunes 6

Trying to update ipod with different computer

Ok, so I just got my laptop back from Toshiba, and wanted to add some songs to my ipod. (Take in mind that Toshiba wiped my computer before they sent it back, and my ipod has only been used with that laptop), so when I went to update my ipod it deleted all 1241 songs from my ipod and replaced them with the 4 I wanted to add. So I need to know how do you update with other computers. Like my desktop for example, I can;t update my ipod on it now without deleting my entire library of songs......Maybe I should go back to iriver

you need to make certain that iTunes is set to manage songs Manually instead of Automatically

How to view videos stored in home imac on iPod or iPad over wifi

hello;
Using the web server on the iMac there is a easy way
to view stored videos on the iPod or iPad. When I say 'easy'
I consider it easy, you may not find it 'easy'.
The most low tech way is to create a symbolic link from the video file
to the /Library/WebServer/Documents/ directory.
example:
open a terminal window.
create a symbolic link from the video file on the iMac to the /Library/WebServer/Documents/
sudo ln -s <iTunes Library Directory>/TV Shows/<TV Show Name>/<TV Season>/<TV Episode> video-link-01
To view the video on either an iPod, iPad, or another computer in Safari
you would enter the following:
http://<computer-name.local>/video-link-01
The video will be shown by QuickTime plugin in Safari...
I have written a perl script which I use to create the necessary html files
to view all the TV Shows that I have stored on my iMac. You could also
create these using a text editor like vim or textedit.
The index.html lists the TV Shows in alphabetical order.
For each TV Show there is a corresponding html file which list the seasons.
For each TV Show Season there is a corresponding html file which lists the episodes.
Below is a short example.
sudo cd /Library/WebServer/Documents
sudo ln -s /Users/me/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music/TV\ Shows ./TV\ Shows
the index.html file contains:

The same may be done for movies and music.
I am working on coming up with a way to play an entire musical album and playlist.
Right now it is single songs only which tends to limit its usefulness.
For videos it does work extremely well. Even though I have a 64GB iPad, a 64GB iPod touch, a 32GB iPod touch, a 32GB iPod touch( 1st generation), and an 16GB iPod nano I do not have to sync a video to them in order to be able to view the video.
I am able to sit in my favorite Caribou Coffee Shop and watch the latest TV shows I have purchased on iTunes
over the wifi network.
Suggestions are to use the Standard Definition file and not the High Definition file.
I personally cannot tell the difference between the Standard Definition file and the High Definition file
on the iPods or the iPad.
I hope that helps you to enjoy your iPods, iPhones, and iPads.

How do i get a different computer to recognise my ipod that is not the one i originally set it up with

I am trying to connect ipod to a new computer & computer doesnt recognise it - what do I do?

Try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Note you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. You can manually manage music and videos among different computer by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

I would like to use a second Video iPod on 1 computer / will it work?

I have a video iPod and would like to buy one for my wife, Will they both work on 1 computer?

Yes, they will. You'll just simply need to get them set up properly in the beginning, and it should do fine afterward.
There are basically two methods for managing multiple iPods on one computer, see here:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time as the other one, though, as this could potentially cause problems.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
I hope that info helps you.

Am trying to get the contents of my iPod onto a different computer/iTunes

I got a new computer (hooray!) but unfortunately my iTunes is on old computer, and I'm giving it away. Also unfortunately, I have no idea if a) it's possible to get the contents of my iPod onto the new iTunes, and b) if so, how. So, if anybody can give me any tips, I'd really appreciate it. ^^

1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. 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: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) 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. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). 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.
5). 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: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

How to sync iPod Touch on a different computer

My piece of junk PC got another virus last night and is currently disabled. (I am on husband's Mac right now). So I'm trying to access my podcasts & all that on my husband's computer. We have "authorized" his computer. He also set me up with my own User account (so our iTunes songs, shows and videos STAY separate).
But "sync iPod" is grayed out for me now.
When I try manually dragging last night's Podcasts to my iPod, nothing happens.
When I try and do a checkbox that says "Sync iPod" it threatens to "replace my podcasts" with what I've selected (which I am afraid might mean that if I download last night's Anderson Cooper podcast, it could wipe out the other podcasts that I've put on my iPod and would like to keep). I am not sure this would happen, but I sure don't feel like taking a chance.
So does anyone else know what to do when you try and use your iPod touch on a different computer?
thanks

OK, thanks. I heard that someplace else, too. This PC torture has got to end.
Time to go find a MacBook that I can afford. Or even a desktop Mac for that matter, though I really did want it to be a laptop....
(sigh)
Thanks for your help!

How to sync a ipod touch to a different computer?

Hi,
I have a ipod touch and i used to sync it with a computer, then, the computer broked, so i tried to sync my ipod touch to another computer, but i can't (using same itune account). It said that if for example I sync the apps, then it would delete everything.
Thank You

If you sync your iPod with a different/empty library iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from the iPod to the computer and everything else on it will be erased. You'll find details on transferring purchases in this article: iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
If you want to recover the music from CDs etc that is on the iPod and transfer it to your new computer there are a few things you can do. music from CDs etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

One last thing, you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. Open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically" and choose Ok before connecting your device.
Once you have recovered everything from the iPod and your iTunes library has been rebuilt it will be safe to sync again.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:

Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
