Making a CD from songs in the ipod

I'm trying to create a CD with songs that are stored on my ipod, can someone please help me with what process I do through itunes or even if its possible
cheers

You can not burn a CD from songs on the ipod. If you have songs on an ipod AND NOT IN ITUNES ON THE PC, you need to use third party software to copy the song off the ipod and onto the PC first.
with the ipod connected, goto edit>preferences>ipod and make sure its set to "Manually Update".
Now you can use thrid party software like yamipod http//www.yamipod.com to copy the songs you want off the ipod. once done now you can use iTUnes to create a playlist of the songs and burn them to CD

You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store.

If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process. The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack. Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause. The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that. Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

When I sync my iPod some of my purchases from iTunes transfer, but some do not. When I try to drag the songs onto the iPod icon it shows the 'crossed out' symbol and won't move them. I've tried synching from multiple computers that are all connected with home sharing but it still didn't do the trick.

Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.
Copy the media from the old computer to the new computer.

"Songs on the iPod "____" cannot be updated because all of the playlists...

"Songs on the iPod "Harold Kim's iPod" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."
Im not sure what this means or how to fix it. any sort of advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.
Syncing selected playlists is just like syncing your whole library only on a smaller scale and more "selectively". When your iPod is is set to sync selected playlists it automatically picks up any changes you made to that playlist in iTunes since you last connected. Anything you added to the playlist will be added to the iPod, anything you deleted from it will be deleted from the iPod. In other words the iTunes playlist and the iPod are kept "in sync".

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.

You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist.

I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

Songs on the iPod "(My Name)'s iPod" cannot be synced because . . .

Okay, so I downloaded a lot of t.v. shows and my ipod was too full. So itunes automatically did something I didn't quite understand (not surprising, I'm so new to Macs). iTunes made a playlist and all my songs went there and it deleted my t.v. shows from my iPod. Today I was trying to figure out how to get those shows back on my ipod. I was trying to erase stuff I didn't want to make space. I guess I erased the new playlist thing that iTunes automatically created. Or did something else weird in my attempt to make room for my shows on my ipod.
Now, when I try to sync it says: Songs on the iPod "(My Name)'s iPod" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist.
I looked for what I deleted in the trash but couldn't find it . . . probably because I don't know what I'm really looking for.
So now my ipod won't sync. And I'm still not sure how to make room for my t.v. shows on my ipod. And before I screwed up the syncing and looked up how to transfer only selected items I read something about a "Summary Tab" that I can't locate.
I'm really, really stupid when it comes to all this. Sorry. I need lots of help.

Yes, the TV files are the problem, the TV + music libraries exceed the capacity of the iPod, this is why iTunes made that playlist for you. All you will need to do is re-build a playlist or lists, say one music, one TV, with the content you want on your iPod. In your iPod preferences, & I believe it will be the summary tab, ( but I don't have my iPod docked right now), just tell iTunes to sync those 1 or 2 specific playlists to the iPod. This should fix you right up, but please post back if you have any questions.

IPod won't sync - "Itunes could not copy (name of song) to the ipod (name of ipod) Because an unknown error occurred (-53)"

I recently bought a used iPod Classic (my previous one was stolen). I still had my iTunes library on my computer so I was just going to hook it up and sync my library over, replacing what was on there from the previous user. When I first hooked it up to my computer (Windows 7 64-bit) there was a message saying the drivers were not installed properly. I un-plugged it, and plugged it back in to the same result. I tried 1 more time and didn't get the error message. I then opened iTunes and clicked on the iPod. I checked for updates, then clicked "Restore this iPod". Next, I set it up to sync music, and the sync began. It seemed to work for a while, the "Syncing iPod" message was displayed at the top, and it said it was copying songs over. It did this for about 10 minutes before I finally got the following message:
"Itunes could not copy (name of song) to the ipod (name of ipod) Because an unknown error occurred (-53)"
After that happens, everything seems to freeze up. iTunes says it's still syncing, but nothing ever seems to happen. If I click the eject button, nothing happens either. I eventually have to just disconnect the iPod. The iPod seems frozen for a while, then it seems to reboot itself (the gray apple window displays), then the interface displays and I can get to the songs on there. But, only a very small portion of my library makes it to the iPod. I've tried several times now and it always seems to be the same songs that DO make it onto the iPod. However, it's a different song listed in the error message each time, so it doesn't seem to be just 1 song causing the problem. Also, once I hook the iPod back to the computer, Windows displays a message prompting me to scan the drive and fix errors. I did it once and it said it found some errors and fixed them.
I saw this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3924425
and some people were suggesting removing everything from your library then re-adding it, in case the paths were messed up. I tried that and still got the same results. I also updated iTunes to the latest version, and I've tried different USB ports and 2 different USB cables.
I also found instructions for a batch file you can run that, I believe, updates the iTuens DLLs, I did that as well but it did not help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
What else can I try to fix this?

No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

Putting songs in the ipod in order

I want to get a certain number of songs from the same album in my ipod in order. No matter what I do, it always ends up being in the same order. If I try to make a playlist of the songs in order, and highlight all those songs and drag them to my ipod, it still imports then in the same order as before (which is out of order).
What can I do to import my songs onto the ipod in the correct order?

The track/disc number might be mixed up; you can change them to the correct order by right-clicking the song to "get info" and going to the info tab. You have to do this to all the songs if you want them in the correct order.

Can I store iTunes songs onto the iPod by using it as a HDD?

Hello. I would like to know if I can store iTunes songs onto the iPod but not as a nMP3 player but as an external HDD. For example, suppose I load 1000 songs onto my iPod to listen to, could I take those same 1000 songs and store them as well? 80 GB is about 10 times the storage I'll ever need so instead of backing up all of my songs onto a DVD or external HDD, I wanted to store them on my iPod. I understand that I will be storing the same songs twice (one for listening and one for backup). Is it possible?

A similar issue but with video files. I have created several Gb of video files and backed them up on DVD. Now I want to only store them on the iPod Classic and be able to paly them on the iPod. My current method is to copy the video files onto the iPod (with disk use enabled) and set iTunes to NOT copy songs/video to the iTunes Music folder. Now when the iPod is connected I drag the video files to iTunes and it creates a link to them (located on the iPod whjich is behaving as an external hard disk) and lists them under TV Shows (or Movies). I can now sync them to the iPod and play them successfully.
Although this works I end up with two copies of each video file on the iPod. I am guessing that if I delete the original (data) video file iTunes will get upset and remove the second copy from the iPod as well when I next do a sync.
