Is There a Way To Put Movies ONLY On My iPod (W/ No Local Copy on my Comp)?

I've transferred a lot of movies and TV shows from my Tivo to my hard drive, converted them, and put them on my iPod. But I'm starting to run out of disk space on my computer.
But if I delete the local copy of the TV show or movie from my computer, iTunes deletes it from my iPod at the next sync.
Is there a way to delete a movie file from my computer but leave the movie on my iPod so that it's not deleted from the iPod at the next sync?
Sorry if this is a dumb or obvious question, I'm new to this iPod thing!

Change the options on the movie screen when the iPod is connected - as we in the UK don't have movies and I haven't imported any of my own I can't confirm this works but if it's like the photos option it should ask do you want to delete what is on the iPod. Hope that works for you.

Is there a way to put the songs from my ipod to my itunes???

I think I did something and it erased some of my songs in the library but they are still on my ipod. what happened to the songs??? and is there a way to put the songs from my ipod onto my itunes?

Perhaps you may
i still
have the music files on your PC -- but not seen in iTunes.
Check using Windows Explorer in 'My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\...' for folders containing your music (or wherever you keep your music folders). If it is there, we can get iTunes to recognize it. Try one or both of these:
--- In iTunes choose: Edit==>Preferences==>Advanced tab. Select 'Change' and browse to the music folder in your PC drive (if it isnt already). Click OK to save that setting.
--- In iTunes choose: File==>Add Folder to Library & browse to the music folder in your PC drive. Click OK.
Also check in your Recycle Bin to see if you accidentally deleted it. If so, Restore it back to its original spot.
Then try running a search using Windows Explorer (or similar) for files with the extensions of: m4a, m4p, MP3,
i OR
with the partial names of the songs you are missing.
Do all the above before you decide that they have been completely erased from your hard drive.
If your music files are truly gone, and you have some or all of your music files on your iPod, these links will give you
i several
methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists , ratings, counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you.

NO. You have to set a pass code.
If you have an iCloud account, and if you set up Find My Phone, and if your iPod is turned on and if your iPod is connected to a WiFi network you can remotely wipe the device, or you can make it play a sound, or you can sent it a message....

Is there any way possible to move games from my iPod Fifth Generation back to my computer?

I recently did a restore on my computer losing all my iTunes Apps. Thus, Right now, I have games on my iPod Fifth Generation but, not on my computer. Since iTunes removed the games from the store, Is there any way possible to move the games from my iPod back to my computer?

Yes. With your iPod plugged in and appearing in iTunes, choose File -> Transfer Purchases.

When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

No problem.
This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

Is there any way to put all the music FROM my iPod back onto my computer? My school tech person not only wiped out my iTunes, the wiped out my back-up hard drive.

Hello cgbuehling
You can, but only the purchases that were made from the iTunes Store. Other content that was imported from a CD or other sources will not transfer over.

Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.

Is there a way to put the same event on multiple icloud calendars?

Is there a way to put the same calendar entry on multiple calendars? I have five children and most of them use their iTouch to keep there calendar. My calendar is on icloud and I'd love it if they could see only their events but I need to see all of them. Many of the events affect more than one child.

As follow up to the above question, I am the person putting items on the calendars. I am not just trying to see calendars that they are maintaining.

Is there a way to put a large amount of music on your iPod without having to keep all the files in iTunes on your computer as well? I want to put my entire music collection (including cds) on my iPod but don't want to take up the space on my computer.

is there a way to put a large amount of music on the ipod without having to keep all the files on itunes as well? I want to use my ipod as an externa drive and put all of my music on it without taking up the space on my computer. I also don't want to lose all my files everytime I plug ipod into my computer. Is this possible? Is there a way to avoid using itunes and only use the ipod as an external drive?

You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
You still need a backup of that Library.
Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

Is there any way to put the mini calendar on the monthly calendar as in Leopard?

I downloaded Lion about a month ago and the only dislike is ical. For one is there any way to put the mini calendar on the monthly display as it was in Snow Leopard. It makes it much easier instead of flip flopping back and forth to see last month or previous months?

Nope

I sent iTunes to trash. I was able to recover the program but have to "put back" songs one at a time. Is there any way to put back from trash using the "select all" command?

I sent iTues to trash by mistake (trying to delete files from "yesterday"). I got the program back but have to "put back" songs one at a time. Is there a way to put back multiple songs using the "select all" command or anything else? Thanks for the help.

The prgram is in one location and the library (media + library files) are in another. Sending it all to the trash would take some pretty delibrate multiple actions and digging through multiple folders, so I don't know how this was managed unless there's something in Snow Leopard that's new. Occasionally I have moved a file to the trash in Finder that I didn't want to and I can use Finder's "undo" to undo the last move. With many files...?

Is there a way to put a pdf on newsstand without using iBook?

I have some travel pdfs that i'd like to access on my iPhone 4. Is there a way to put them directly onto newsstand, without having to download iBooks (and use up valuable space)?
Thanks!

Get a free online storage account (box.net, dropbox, sugarsync, google drive or whichever of the dozens of free offerings you like - I use box.net most of the time and it works well). Then, put your PDF files up on the cloud storage account and only download the one or ones you need at any given time. You can limit your transfers to only when you have a free wifi hotspot available. That will minimize how much space you need to use for PDF document storage.
As others mentioned, you have to load a PDF into an app to even see it - iBook if you like, or any of the dozens of PDF reader and editing apps available in the app store (Adobe Reader is available there, and is free).

Is there a way to put a video from facebook into imovie?

Is there a way to put a video from facebook into imovie? The facebook video is on my friends wall. Draging it does not seem to work.

You won't be able to drag and drop it, I think the workaround would be to try and 're-record' it using QuickTime. There's a screen recording ability that will record your hold desktop. My suggestion is to launch QuickTime. Under File Menu > Screen Recording. Get that all setup and ready to hit the red record button. Open Facebook. Playback full screen if possible, then pause it. Start the screen recording, then play the Facebook video. By default, the video will be saved into your Home folder>Movies folder. Open iMovie, go to File Menu > Import > Movies... and then navigate your way to your Movies folder and import that clip into an iMovie Event.

My laptop that had my iTunes on it has exploded (in a sense). I now have a new laptop, but I'm afraid to plug my iPod in because I know it will wipe out all 300 songs. Is there a way to put my old music on my new laptop?

(After my old laptop blew, it won't turn on anymore). I've invested quite a bit of money into my music, and it'd be a bummer if it's all gone to waste.
Thanks in advance!

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
