Managing music on ipod (from mac to ipod, and visa versa)

I cant believe how cumbersone and how totaly ruined by commercial bullshiat ipod and itunes is.
I realy need away to manualy copy from and to,,,and manage my music in the ipod
Is there such a program?? (freeware i hope)

Well you can put your iPod into Manual sync mode and then the manual copying from iTunes to the iPod is as easy and drag and drop.
But the other way around is not enabled to prevent illegal file sharing as this would allow a very simple way for people to share their digital music to other computers. Apple purposely designed the iPod to be a player so that music is sort of one way, onto the iPod or deleted from it, but not transferred off of it to something else.
There are third party apps that can move stuff off the iPod to the computer, but I am not sure if any of them allow normal day to day to and from transfers of individual tracks like you want to do.

  • Files from mac to RDC and visa versa

    I am trying to copy and paste folders from my macbook pro to my RDC and visa versa.Unfortuantly i am not having any luck does anyone have an idea how to do this i am a bit of a beginner on this stuff.cheers

    That does not work unfortunately, just extend one of your Mac folders to the RDC destination and you can transfer files simply by putting them in the folder:

  • How can I sync apps from Mac to iPhone and visa versa.

    Hi,
    Firstly I'm not having any problems syncing apps to my iPhone.
    I'm very OCD and would like to have it so that If I install an app onto my Mac, it sync to my iPhone. And then if I delete it from my Mac and plug my phone in to sync, it will delete it from my iPhone.
    Basically I want my iMac to be the hub of the apps, so everything I see on my iMac will be on my phone.
    Let me know if you have a solution for this!

    As far as installing is concerned, if you install an iPhone app on your Mac and sync your iPhone to your Mac using either USB or WiFi the app will be installed on your phone. You can also go (on the phone) to Settings/iTunes & App Store and turn on Automatic Downloads for apps. Then whenever you buy or download an app on your computer or another Apple device it will automatically be installed on your iPhone.
    For uninstalling, there are 2 ways to uninstall; one is on the phone (which you said you don't want to do) and the other is to connect the phone to iTunes, click on it, then on Apps, and uncheck any apps you don't want on the phone, then sync.

  • Hi, I have updated my MacPro, Iphone and Ipad and installed the Icloud. My Ipod merges with the Ipad and visa versa but neither merges with the notebook nor does the notebook merge with them.

    I have updated my MacBook Pro, my Iphone 4 and my Ipad2. My Iphone merges with the Ipad via ICloud and visa versa, but neither merge with the notebook nor does the notebook merge with them. there are no further updates on my notebook to download, any suggestions?

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

  • When I sync a certain cd from a certain band all of the music from another band dissapears and vise versa.

    This problem has perplexed me for quite some time.  I have been trying to find a solution to this for a while now and have had no luck.  The problem I face is that I have trouble getting a cd from one band and all of the music from another band to sync to my ipod touch.  When I do manage to get one of them to sync the other one isn't synced.  I do manage to get the other one to sync but the previous one gets removed from my ipod.  In detail it is the plastic beach album from the gorillaz and a two disc greatest hits set from sublime.  I have no problem syncing other items to my ipod.  Before the last update neither of those items would sync to my ipod.  After the update I managed to get the gorillaz cd to sync but no sublime.  I unchecked the sublime music and resynced my ipod.  Then I checked the sublime music and synced my ipod.  This worked in putting the sublime music on my ipod but for some reason removed the gorillaz albume from my ipod.  When I went through the same process to try and get the gorillaz ablum back on my ipod it removes the sublime music.  I never receive any kind of error message.  I highly doubt apple support is going to help at all because I am using a pc and last time I tried to get help from apple support they tried to get me to start messing with my reg key edit.  That problem I actually ended up fixing with a hard reset so my faith in the apple support hotline has been demolished.  I was hoping there might be someone on here that has run into a similar problem and knows the fix for this.

    I would like to add something to this.  I just discovered tonight that in the case of both the specific cd and the entire sublime music they will be removed each time I sync my ipod.  But if I uncheck them, sync the ipod, then check them again sync the ipod one more time they will the on my ipod.  But upon the next sync the songs will be removed even though they are checked.

  • VOIP calls not being forwarded from GW to GK and visa versa

    I have a VOIP network setup in place using 2691 routers. i have a siemens PBX connected to the 2691 routers using an E1 controller (running QSIG), my WAN interface between the two sides is an ATM interface. when i do a csim start from one router to the extension on the other side the call goes through and the phone rings. However, when i actually dial from one extension to the other, the call is not being forwarded. and what happens is that i hear the dial tone again on the phone im dialing from.
    I have taken some debugs but still could pin point the problem, even though in the ccapi inout debug i found that when it tries to look for a node, it doesnt find it.
    I have attached the configuration for both sides. Along with the debug from one of the sites.
    There are a couple of GW's associated with the GK.
    The ones im concerned about are Mussalla_GW & GK-HO.
    Thank You in advance
    Mouhannad

    Try this:
    dial-peer voice 2 pots
    direct-inward-dial
    Without this command the router will not collect the digits coming across the PRI.

  • Getting information from laptop to host and visa versa

    Hi!
    Here is the situation. I need to tranfer all the data that exits on the laptop to host and I also want the updated data back to laptop. what is the easy way to do that. I have already created the tables on the laptops which is also exactly the same in the host. the oracle that we are using is 8i. could anyone please help me what is real process to go about this and how I can do this process.
    people who has a laptop they go out in the field and enters the information and comes back to office and they have to sync back to host all data.
    Your help on this process would greatly appriciated. Thank you.
    my personal e-mail address is [email protected]
    Sincerely
    Beshu

    Beshu,
    I would think the best way to handle this is Snapshots, or Materialized Views. The master table would exist on the host, and each
    laptop would have a replica of the master table. This would be an updatable snapshot/MView. Unfortunately, you would need to create
    the snapshot/MV on each laptop, rather than use the existing tables you have already created.
    With updatable snapshots/MViews, the laptop user can modify the snapshot table, and the changes are recorded in a log file.
    When the laptop user goes back to the office, they can run a job which posts their changes to the master table, and then
    receives updates from the master table as well. Since you would be using updatable snapshots, you would need to define
    conflict resolution on the master table to resolve data conflicts.
    Depending on the database versions involved, there are lots of things you could do to make your life simpler, such as using a single
    deployment template to instantiate all the laptops.

  • HT201272 How do you transfer your audiobooks from pad to phone and visa versa

    Not sure how to do the above

    If they were bought from Apple then you should be able to copy them from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and you can then connect the iPhone to your computer's iTunes and sync them to that via the iPhone's 'Books' tab - and similarly for going from the phone to the iPad. You can't connect an iPhone to an iPad for direct transfer.

  • Upgrading from Premium to Standard and Visa Versa

    Hi all
    Our upgrading issues rumble on here at my workplace!
    We currently have 2 machines which are installed with CS2.
    We have (due to ordering issues - mistakes!) 1 x CS2 - CS5 STANDARD upgrade and 1 x CS5 to CS5.5 PREMIUM upgrade.
    My question is, if we upgrade our PREMIUM CS2 to a STANDARD CS5, can we then upgrade again using the PREMIUM CS5-CS5.5?
    My question is one of compatibility!
    Thanks!

    Yes you can upgrade.

  • Ipod from Mac to PC

    To make a long story short, I have a mac formatted ipod. I also have a ton of music on my pc and I want to use my ipod as a hard disk to transfer the pc songs to my mac.
    Can someone please provide me with detailed steps on how to accomplish this task.
    I have searched the forums, but I can not find specifically what I need.
    Thanks!

    About 18 months ago I managed to get all the songs from my Mac formatted iPod onto my XP work PC without any 3rd party apps. I now have a new job and new work PC (Fister this time) and need to go through the process again. Only I can't remember how I did it.
    But I think it involved putting the iPod into disk mode, transferring the songs to the PC and then reformatting the iPod. It involved erasing the iPod but as all the songs were on my Mac it was simply a case of leaving it to have all it's songs re-transferred.
    Perhaps I had to intially change the disk format to to a PC compatible format?
    So would it work by doing the following?:
    1) reformat iPod to be PC compatible (done through iPod updater on PC)
    2) sync iPod on Mac (with iPod HD in PC format)
    3) put iPod on Disk Mode
    4) drag and dropc songs onto PC
    5) plug iPod back in to Mac and Restore
    It would take a while to do (I have almost 30GB of songs) and wouldn't allow syncing but it would allow me to have a lot of my music with me at work
    I also have an external Lacie drive which backs up my iMac. Would I just be able to copy over my music library from Lacie drive to PC, perhaps using Fister's Sync Center?

  • How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format??

    How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format?? My Imac is not working at the moment, but I want to use my Ipod on my PC. How do I get my Ipod(mac formated) to get work on my PC??

    Use iTunes on the PC to restore the iPod, or install XPlay on the PC without changing the format. Restoring the iPod will erase everything on it.

  • Formatting 3rd Gen ipod from Mac to Windows

    Hello.
    I need to format a 3rd Gen iPod from Mac to windows for my Father in Law.
    So please can anyone tell what the process is?
    Many thanks,

    The iPod is formatted for both PC and Mac, I used to use mine with a PC, bought a Mac, plugged it in and it worked with the Mac no problem. I'm not sure that this works both ways though, if you're having problems you could try this link for help: http://ipod.about.com/od/restoreandreformatipod/a/ipod_reformat.htmhttp://
