Music volume discrepancy between different Ipods

I have an Iphone 2G an Ipod Touch and lately i bought an Ipod Classic with 160GB in order to be able to upload most of my music and have it all with me all the time.
It took me quite a lot of time to create my own playlists, especially to adjust and match the volume of each track.
in itunes i adjust the volume with the slider on the options tab if necessary. i can hear the result directly in itunes and i get more or less the same result on my ipod touch and on my iphone. but on my ipod classic the tracks get a completely different volume. tracks that i had to turn up to 100% completely in order to make them sound "right" in itunes are horribly loud on my ipod classic. they are 4-5 times louder than an unadjusted track. i am not sure if this is really intended, i assume it is a bug, as the track-volume i get from my ipod classic doesn't reflect the adjustments i did in itunes.
i tried turning on and off automatic volume adjustment on the ipod, but it didn't change anything, the tracks which should be slightly louder are much too loud now.
i didn't find any workaround for this, as i would need to drag all tracks twice into itunes and adjust them differently if i want to sync them for an ipod touch or an ipod classic.
i hope someone can help, but for me it sounds definitely like an overlooked firmware bug.

it is turned off of course, otherwise itunes will try to adjust the volume automatically, which never really worked when i tried it.
i would prefer to adjust the volume manually for all selected tracks.

How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

How do I share music in iTunes between different iTunes account on the MacBook Pro?

If it's in a single iTunes library, it's already being shared. If it's in separate user accounts on the computer, move one library to the /Users/Shared/ folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, point it there, and import the music from the other library to it.

Syncing Playlists between different iPods

I have a few different iPods. One of them as a handful of AWESOME playlists that I'd like to put on my other iPod (my sister wants them).
I don't want to take the time to recreate every playlist everytime I want to transfer one.
Their all synced to the same, this, computer. I though it would be as simple as dragging the playlist off one iPod, into iTunes, then to another iPod. But I can not +drag and drop+ or transfter playlists off my iPod.
Any help is much appreciated.

My Playlists are just normal ones. Some of them I created by hand in iTunes, some I used the "On The Go" feature on the iPod itself.
I Manually sync and manage all of my playlists/movies/music, everything.
I can NOT manually drag and drop playlists off my iPod. Can't transfter them to my other ipods nor my computer. I figure there has to be a file in the iPod control folder on my iPod, or something.
Also, I found some flaws in that artical, helpful as it was.
Such as "Note: iTunes for Windows does not support having multiple iPods connected simultaneously." Thats wrong. The Windows version of iTunes DOES support having multiple iPods connected simultaneously. I'm doing it right now. I can even be transfering music to both at the same time.

Music volume gets low when iPod connected to an iPod interface?

hi,
i have a 4th generation ipod, when i connect the ipod to the ipod interface in my car the volume gets very low.....
i have tried connecting my ipod in others cars with ipod interface, its the same issue with the others system also....
but it works good when connected with aux.
please help me find a solution....
thank you

This is normal - cant adjust the volume from the iPod if we connect it via dock (the bottom of the iPod). If you would like to adjust the volume with the wheel of the iPod, then you should plug your iPod via its earphone jack - of course, different cable i.e. minijack to RCA audio cable

Conflicts Between Different iPod Models ?

I started with an iPhone. Later on I added a 2 GB iPod Shuffle. Both worked with iTunes on same PC computer, no problem. Recently I added an iPod Classic. Now iPod Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes or my PC but it does charge. I have tried another PC, same results. I have done it all (re-booting PC etc) and even got a replacement iPod Shuffle from Apple under warranty. Apple tells me they will all run on same computer, but it looks to me like the iPod Classic software overwrites Shuffle and Shuffle is no longer recognized by PC ir by iTunes. Anyone have experience like this ??

I disabled the Power Management option, but it did not help. What seems strange is that my iPhone and iPod Classic work fine. One iPod Shuffle worked for a while then stopped being recognized. Now a second (replacement) 2 GB Shuffle is not recognized either, but the other two iPod devices (phone and Classic) work ok. It seems to be something related to the Shuffle software. The new one was not recognized and the Setup Assistant never ran for it, on either of the laptops. I have also tried different cables and re-loaded iTunes software. Shuffle still not recognized.

How do I share photos and music between different user accounts on the same Macbook? i.e. I want all to be able to access family photos when logged into their respective accounts. Same goes for the iTunes library. Hope this is possible...
Thanks!

Sharing music between different accounts on a single computer

I have read the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 , but I'm still having a problem.
Scenario: Two Ipods, one PC (WinXP), one big music library, originally created and stored directly in C:\My Music, which is accessible to all users of the PC. From my non-admin account, I add folders and files to my itunes library, modify songs and artwork, no problem. Now my son has an iPod, and I would like to be able to share out portions of the C:\My Music library with him. It kind of works. He adds files and folders to his library, on his account, in his itunes. The music is there, but it is somehow protected. No artwork, in fact I get the "artwork is not modifiable" message. Nor can he modify any info in the songs. In a few cases, the artwork comes with the songs, but mostly not. In either case, no info in the songs are modifiable. Neither of our Windows XP user accounts are admin, but why does my account seem to "own" the songs? He's not going to be happy without any artwork in his library or on his ipod.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Put everything on one computer and sync to that computer.

We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

Sharing I tunes music library between different user logins on same PC

Due to my computer crashing I recently bought a new PC running Microsoft Vista. I am attempting to set the PC up so that different members of the family can have their own login. I have downloaded I tunes 7 and it shows on each desktop. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to share the music library between each login.
