Ipod user needs assistance

ok, I have a rather unique situation that I have been dealing with for a while now and I really do need to get this resolved. Here is my problem. Right after I bought my Ipod which is a model number MA146LL I placed all of my MP3 files on it including some music that I have on CD that I converted to MP3.
After that my HD crashed and with the exception what was on my Ipod I lost all of my music files. My father seeing that I had completely lost all of the music on my HD uploaded his music into my computer. After that I lost my Ipod for six months when it got left inside my brothers car by mistake when he was down visiting from another state. Since then I have expanded on the music that I have on my HD. So, now I finally have my Ipod back and I have two sets of music. Everytime I hook my Ipod up it asks me if I want to chance the music on my Ipod for what is on my PC and I tell it no. My question to someone with more ipod knowledge then me is there a way for my to save both sets of music and combine them into a single list without destroying one or the other because there is music in both lists that I really do not want to lose.
I would be greatful for any help

Disappointed: First time IPOD user needs help

This is the first time I have decided to take the plunge and purchase an IPOD. I decided to go all out and get the Touch. After tryng for a week to get it running and reading all of these posts, I am coming to the conclusion that this was a huge mistake!! It has been NOTHING but a headache.
Like other posters, my Touch is frozen with the USB cable logo. I tried ALL suggestions posted and in troubleshooting topics. I get as far as iTunes recognizing my device and saying I need to restore. However, every time I restore, it seems to be working but it never can finish and a window pops up saying unable to restore, and error occurred (1604).
Is there a way to get a hold of these people to get help? This is ridiculous and I am extremely disappointed! I thought Apple was supposed to be very user friendly. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi there - Definitely give AppleCare support a chance. Use this page to locate the appropriate contact information for them: http://www.apple.com/contact/.
In the meantime, regarding your error message:
I'd attempt a clean reinstall:
Go into Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Remove these applications:
1. Apple Software Update
2. Apple Mobile Device Support
3. iTunes
4. QuickTime
Restart the computer
Download & Install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Launch the Utility: Start > Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
Select any of the above mentioned applications, and click Remove
Restart the computer again
Download & install iTunes again from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Prior to attempting to restore the iPod again, disconnect any and all non-essential USB devices you have connected to your computer... for example, disconnect printers/scanners but you can leave your mouse or keyboard.
I also recommend the steps in this article:

New IPod user need help

i just got a 4GB ipod nano for christmas. it say i have a 1000 songs but i only have 209 and now it won't let put anymore on it, its say its full. when i first loaded i tunes on my computer its asks if i want to make it my default player do i? what does that mean? also i took songs off my media player yahoo musicplayer is what what made it so full? is there anyway to change the file size or something or do i just have restore and start all over? someone please help me.

Bear in mind that Apple quotes the number of songs you are able to store on any iPod by using the AAC format at a bitrate setting of 128kbps and for a 4 minute song.
Look in iTunes under edit/preferences/advanced/importing. What does it say in settings and import using? You may have the import settings and bitrate set wrong. You need to compress your music using either mp3 or aac.
See these.

Ipod Nano Setup Assistant does not appear!!!

I am using an HP PC (64 bit)with Windows Vista. I have installed the 64 bit edition of i Tunes, and I have tried EVERYTHING the troubleshooting assistant has suggested (several times) and the "ipod nano setup assistant" fails to appear after I install the itunes/QT and connect the ipod nano. PLEASE HELP!!!

No. But you should still have a backup of your user data, including your iTunes data.

To All IPod Users having Trouble with Live Updating playlists.

I thought I should share this with other IPod users as there is quite a bit of discussion on the net about it.
After 3 days trying to get "Smart Playlists"to live update on my IPod touch, reading, researching and reading more, I finally got my Ipod playlist to live update.
I've discovered that certain rules break live updating.
OK it is only a basic set of rules, but it is working.
The 1st thing I did was group all my songs using the "Composer" field. Do not use sorting, it breaks live updating.
example: All songs were composed by Music, all Soundtracks were composed by Soundtrack. And so on. I did this in ITunes using "Get Info".
I placed two rules in my playlist:
Composer is Music
Last Played is not in the last 6 months.
I ticked "Live Update"
Do not use Limit to as this breaks Live Updating as well.
If your list is in a different order on your IPod then in ITunes just select any other column in ITunes other than the numbered column, e.g. Name. Your list should match now in both ITunes and your IPod.
Just use shuffle within the playlist to mix things up.
Once played your track should drop off your playlist.
Hope this helps.

I live by my Smart playlist to sort out all my TV shows and Video Podcast but it suddenly stopped updating after I paid $25 for the iTunes Match service.
It stopped in iTunes. I don't worry to much about my iPhones because I plug them in every day and it will update iTunes.
If iTunes doesn't work the apple TV, iPads and iPhones don't work.
Do I need to cancel the iTunes Match service?
Please someone find a fix.

Tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance

I tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance.
Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion - but I eventually tried again and was able to contact via "chat" to someone qualified to help. The problem was that in my existing "bridge" - preference was (I think by default) - checked to startup in background on Login. I did not realize this - because I don't think I set it that way in the first place (maybe I did a few years ago) - and I could not see anything in task manager to suggest that bridge was running an application or any process - but when I learned this - I was successful in installing PS CS6.
Yes, I'm still not on solid ground re: whether or not I want to change from "owning" the tool or renting it -- what concerns me is that is sounds like regardless of users wishes, Adobe is headed in this direction and will eventually make it financially more feasible to go that route. At the moment I think they are "asking" for everyone to get on their bandwagon, but who knows. They have a powerful set of tools, that they continue to support and advance - and along with those development and support costs, they also would like to make a profit - so I understand if their past marketing model is no longer sufficient.
Thanks again.

Multiple ipod users

there are 2 new ipod users in the house now, how do we keep the music seperate. i'm really lost!!! we connected both new ipods to the computer and cant figure out how to get music on them. also... how do we delete songs from a shuffle?

There are basically two methods for managing multiple iPods with one computer. See them 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.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
also... how do we delete songs from a shuffle?
If you're on manual managing mode in iTunes, all you have to do is:
Connect your iPod to your computer.
Click on its name in iTunes' left source panel when it gets recognized (after a few seconds).
Click on the iPod music library, select a song, then click on "Delete" key, or drag the file to your Trash bin on your computer.
If you're on automatic transfer option in iTunes, you'll need to remove the song from the playlist you're syncing to your shuffle, or just the whole library; depending on that you're currently set for.
Then, re-sync the iPod again, and the song should be deleted on this sync.

When I try to migrate from imac to macbook pro my user account says this user needs attention before migrating. My e-mail does not migrate in the process. this never happened before i updated to Maverick

When I try to migrate from imac to macbook pro my user account says "this user needs attention before migrating". My e-mail does not migrate in the process. This never happened before I updated to Maverick. I have repaired user permissions but this not make any difference

Just a Follow-up - the migration went fine. The migration did not import Little Snitch, Flip4Mac and DivX, stating they were incompatible. It also reported that Intego Back up Assistant has improper security setting (which I have not yet investigated).
I am encountering small problems. Safari would not open embedded pdf documents and instead showed a black screen. This was fixed with instructions found at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html and it now works fine.
Importing 17 years of old mail from Eudora to Apple Mail was time consuming. mostly because of the pre-migration preening i did, but using Eudora file cleaner before the migrtaion helped a lot.
I amy find some more glitches, but so far everything seems to be working.

What Do Users Need to Play SWF

I am creating a training video with Captivate 2 for our
federal government agency. When I'm finished, I'm going to publish
it as an .SWF file. One of the guys who designs on our web pages
asked me what program users need to view the Captivate.swf file.
The answer is apparently is either Shockwave or the Adobe Flash
Player. Or could it be either one? I'm obviously confused about
this. If the users in our federal govt. agency don't have the
correct software, they can't play the .swf file.
Can someone please clarify this issue for me? Do the users
need Shockwave, Adobe Flash, or can both applications play .swf
files?
Thanks,
Robert

What generation of iPod Touch? If it has the older 30-pin connector, just plug it into the dock. If it has a new lightening connector, you need lightening to 30-pin cable from Apple ($39 online at the Apple US store).

Multiple ipods users and one computer

Our household has several iPods but use one computer. I just purchased a new iPod and when I connected to the computer (Windows XP) it allowed me to identify my ipod but sunced the other ipod user's music. I'm lost - how can I or can I maintain 2 different syncs?

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library
b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
c) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
Multiple Libraries
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Shift key (or the Option key on a Mac) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

You say you have iOS 7 beta. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

Otherwise you are on your own since you have a bootleg copy
