Mac with Lossless and iPod with AAC compressed : Is syncing possible

Hi,
I am a complete noob with the iPod but have managed to get most of my music collection onto my Mac in Apple lossless. This is 280GB (831 albums). Needless to say this will not fit onto my 60GB iPod.
I was expecting there to be a way to set that you wanted the iPod music to be converted to e.g. 256 AAC. You could then just do a normal sync. OK this might take days the first time but that is ok.
I don't seem to be able to find an obvious way to do this. Do I need to create some kind of duplicate library & if so how ?
Thanks for any help.

Hello TonyK,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I believe the option to automatically convert to AAC is only available for the iPod Shuffle (maybe the Nano - I don't have one, so I'm not sure.) If it's available for the regular iPod, I haven't seen it.
What I've done is the second thing you suggested - convert the lossless files to AAC, keep the lossless but move the AAC's to another playlist, and set the iPod to update to sync with the AAC list.

My paper work for my linksys says WEP 64 bits. I've tried changing my IPOD to that and it will say put in password and when I do I get "invalid password" or can not connect. This has been in the last few weeks. I have researched this for the last 2 weeks, called apple and they said it's not my IPOD, called Linksys and they want to charge $30 to fix it. How do I change my router without totaly not messing it up?

Upgraded iTunes to 9.2.1 and iPod shuffle 2 won't sync when adding music

I updated my iTunes software to 9.2.1 and now my iPod shuffle generation 2 takes at least 5 to 10 minutes to initially sync and when I try to drag music files to the iPod shuffle I am getting a message that states " iPod sync failed, please disconnect and try again". The same thing happens every time I try to add more music to my iPod shuffle, even when I disconnect and try again. Had no problems with previous versions of iTunes, just iTunes 9 and up. I welcome any suggestions on fixing the problem, because I can't add any new music to my iPod!! I'm convinced that the iTunes 9.2.1 didn't correctly fix the bugs that are causing the iPod syncing issues. Thank you in advance to all who offer help.

Since putting content on a shuffle actually requires user involvement, please
describe HOW you are "syncing" your shuffle. What you are describing sounds like the initial thing that happens after you connect the shuffle (iTunes checking
the shuffle to see if the shuffle's content matches the iTunes library).
The next step is up to you...

Hello I have a few questions and I need some help with my iTunes and iPod

Hello iTunes people.
I have a little problem with my iTunes. I actually almost know nothing about iTunes really. But I have had a 80 gig ipod .. ummm I think it's a iPod classic maybe. A long time ago I just downloaded iTunes. I think one of my tech friends already had put the program onto my PC so I did not even have to download it. Anyways I put my life's collection of mp3's onto iTunes and then syncs it with my iPod and it worked great. Here is my problem. I just recently bought a MONSTER PC. I have lovingly named it " ED209 " I downloaded iTunes for it and I have the most up to date version.8.1.1 is the most current version correct? Ok well here is my problem. What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library. I DO NOT want to import anything from the library or playlist or whatever you call it ONTO the iPod because there is nothing in the library. Now this is were its gets weird and possibly silly. A person I was chatting with on Facebook sort of made fun of me because she was like " Dude! Just push " Sync " But the reason I am paranoid is because THIS is the message I get....
" The iPod " Aaron's iPod " is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this iTunes library? "
HOLY COW!! That girl on Facebook was making fun of me but READ THAT. That exactly says ERASE the "iPod" and Sync with THIS library " It does not say put what is ON the iPod into THIS Library. It says it the other way around. Clear as day it says it will ERASE the " Ipod " it does not say " Fill the library with whats on your iPod "
Do I all of a sudden not understand English or something???? I know how to freaking read and from what it says is sounds a 100 percent like " we will ERASE youe iPod and put everything from this playist or library onto your iPiod" But there is NOTHING in my library? Am I mentally challenged or what?
I hope someone can help me here and I have another request. Could someone just tell me all the cool things I can do with iTunes and my iPod? I am trying to read the help files and the FAQ and whatever else Apple provides you with but it has SO MUCH crap that looks usless. I find myself reading a whole paragraph about some simple little section of s section of a section of a feature! Know what I mean. Someone give me the long and short of the neat things I can do with this stuff. I have windows Vista with a wicked computer that has like 6 gigs of ram and m iPod is a 80 GB Classic
help !!

*What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library.*
1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the 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 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 purchases) 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:

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

Transferring Playlists From A Windows Computer to a Mac (with an IPod???)

I recently switched from a Windows computer to a Mac and the folk at the Apple Store copied my documents and music files to the new Mac. All of my music that I had on ITunes on the Windows computer was transferred, including all the purchased music. The only thing that wasn't transferred were my extensive playlists, which I've spent years creating. I figured I could do it with my IPod and I was about to synch my IPod with the new Mac, when I saw the message advising me that everything on the IPod would be erased including, presumably, the existing playlists. Now, I realize I could simply print out what's on the playlists from my old Windows computer and manually recreate the playlists, but that would be a laborious pain in the butt. There's gotta be a simpler way but so far so one seems to be able to tell me what it is. A few people have told me there's no way to do it, but I have to believe there's a way because it would be foolish and dumb for there not to be. Any ideas? Thanks.

There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and clone playlists from an iPod. You could start your research with the three below, I believe they can all copy playlists and other data. If you search the web I'm sure you'll find others:

ITunes and IPOd Music on MacBook with Crashed Drive

Have run into a situation. Have MacBook 1.83GHZ, was running OSX 10.4.11 that original 80GB Hard Disk totally crashed on 3 days ago. Apple store replaced hard drive (thank you), but was unable to remove ANY data. This included 1600 songs, and 3500 pictures in Itunes 7. So my libraries (not backed up) are gone. However, my IPOD 5th Gen has all the same pictures and songs on it.
All I want to do is to sync from my IPOD back to Itunes on the MacBook with the new hard drive and restore what I had before the hard disk crashed.
I see in Apple help there is discussion about moving Itunes libraries to a new computer, which requires some access to the old computer. this does not help....
Any ideas/help are appreciated

Sync books from iBooks on Mac with iBooks on iPhone

This task should be very easy to solve, but still, I can't do it.
I have downloaded a epub book, dragged it to iBooks app on Mac. Then I go to iTunes, click on iPhone and go to Books tab. I can see some books in Sync section, but they are different from those I see in iBooks app on Mac. No way to sync that single book with my iPhone.
So, my question is: what am I doing wrong? Is there any way to do that without killing virgin and summoning Devil? Because to me all this sync issues seem to be a black magic.

Hi NewGirl8,
Welcome to the Support Communities! What format are the ePubs you are trying to sync? The article below explains how to sync your PDFs and non-iBooks Store books.
iBooks: Viewing, syncing, saving, and printing PDFs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Using Sync Collections with PDFs in iBooks
If you turned on Sync Collections, iBooks will keep your PDFs (and non–iBooks Store books) in the same collections across all your iOS devices and Mac (if you're using OS X Mavericks). For example, if you have the same PDF on all your devices, when you move that PDF to your Sci-Fi collection in iBooks on your iPhone, that PDF will appear in your Sci-Fi collection the next time you open iBooks on your iPad.
If you delete a PDF (or non–iBooks Store book) while you have Sync Collections turned on, it only affects the copy on the device. For example, if you delete a copy of the PDF from your iPad, it will still be on your iPhone.
For more information about iBooks and the iBooks Store, see the frequently asked questions and how to sync iTunes Digital Booklets to your iOS device.
Cheers,
Judy

Mail Management I Mac and IPod Touch - Deleting

I have a problem with messages deleted from the Mail program on I Mac that continue to appear as new messages in the inbox of the IPod. Apple Help said that the messages deleted in Mail would be deleted from the server in 30 minutes - but that doesn't happen. How can I avoid getting all messages going into both the I Mac Mail and IPod Mail? I tried syncing without success.

I'm just posting this as I did for all these threads for the same issue:
Ok I think this problem here is Apple... It's a DNS problem. You get this problem depending on what smtp server you are registered on.
I always get the message that "p06-smtp.mail.me.com" failed...
But according to the nslookup command there are only the servers "p01, p02, p03, p04"... no p05 and p06 or p07 and p08 ...
What I did to get it to work (only considered as workaround):
first I tried to add a second SMTP server with the address "smtp.mail.me.com", it seemed that the mail went through... but never arrived... then I configured "p01-smtp.mail.me.com" as second server and it worked!!
What is the problem with this workaround?
When you change the password! As it doesn't accept the Apple Token you must configure your Apple ID credentials manually... however when you change them, you have also to change the manually configured second SMTP server!

New itunes installation with old itouch - cant sync without deleting - HELP

hey guys...
after a recent virus went through my pc, a friend had to delete heaps of programs and itunes was one of them. unfortunately he didnt back up my music, and now i have just re-downloaded the new version of itunes and my 2000 songs have gone!
they are all still on my itouch - but i cant even play them now through my pc - is there anything i can do??
thanks!

If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another 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.

IPhone and iPod

I am getting an iPhone soon. I have a older model of the 80GB video iPod with lots of music and audio books on it. Some of these are still in iTunes; some I had to save to a DVD or external hard drive and then delete from my computer to free up hard disk space. I would like to transfer some of these files directly from my iPod to my iPhone. Is this possible and how can I do it?

I restored my ipod and now when I try to sync it says it syncs but it doesn't...what do I do?

I tried to sync my ipod to itunes but it said i needed to restore my ipod. So I restored my ipod deleting everything on it. I origionally planned to make a cd from my second library of all the songs that i wanted on my first library from the second library, but itunes won't add my songs to my library. I have no idea what's going on! I have two itunes libraries with all of my music, so I have everything...i just need to get it all onto my ipod. Now when i go to either one of the libraries and try to sync it says it syncs but it really doesn't. None of my songs transferred to my ipod and I honestly don't know what to do. Help please:(

Are you following the instructions here. You many not have the correct boxes/music checked.

Reconciling changes to item in both Outlook and iPod Touch

I accidentally changed a Note/Memo in both the Outlook and iPod Touch. When I sync (sunc?), iTunes shows me a window with the Outlook version of the note/memo on one half, and the iPod Touch version on the other half. However, I haven't found a way to save both as notes/memos, nor have I been able to select the text in the two versions. This means that I can't dump the two versions into two files and bring difference-identifying tools to bear e.g. Word's file comparison or Vim's differencing function. Is there a way to have both versions of the note/memo saved, or the select the text from both versions for copying and pasting?

Yes, you can. I sync an iPhone and an iPod Touch to the same computer without problems.
I sync by selected playlists to make it easier to select which content goes on which device.
I would suggest creating separate groups in your Address Book for your contacts and her contacts, so each can have his or her own list.
