My friend gave me her ipod but i cant get the music to my empty library

i have my friends old ipod with her music still on it. but i cant get the music to my empty library

This friend gave you their iPod, not their media.  The media is not yours and you have no legal right to it.
Restore the device as new via iTunes on the computer.
Purchase your own media and sync it to the device.

    I have tried plugging it in and holding the sleep/wake button and home button at same time and all it does is gives me the "slide to power off" option. Is there anything I can do??? Please Help!

    Try DFU mode and then restore
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    Or try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • Can I change user profile of an IPOD but keep all of the music and information stored on it?

    A friend updated my IPOD with all of their music with their profile. However, I would like to make changes but keep most of the music that was uploaded.  Can I change the user profile (username and password) of an IPOD but keep all of the music and information stored on it?

    Your frend does not have the right/lience to give the music to you. You should delete that music.
    If he set up the iPod with his iTunes account you should restore the iPod from a backup of the iPod that should be on your computer. That will delete his music but restore your settings.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your Mac and into iTunes.

    Once you have successfully done that you can go ahead and choose Erase and Sync when you plug your iPod in.

How can I get the iMac and apple tv to sync the itunes ? i have a internet connection between them , I have signed in to the itunes store on the apple tv and it shows that the apple tv is sharing my library from the IMac , but it wont sync and the apple tv has no content !

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV (with the exception of the Apple TV 1) does not sync, it streams everything from your library on your computer or from the internet.

  • I have just transferred elements 11 to a new windows 7 64 bit computer using the original purchased disc. Organiser is working fine, but I cant get the Editor to open at all.

    I have just transferred elements 11 to a new windows 7 64 bit computer using the original purchased disc. Organiser is working fine and all my photos are there, but I cant get the Editor to open. It just says editor workspace is loading and then it eventually gives up.

    Try opening directly from your desktop, by passing the welcome screen.
    Go to Windows Explorer>C drive>Program Files (x86)>Adobe>Photoshop elements 11. Right click, then Send to>Desktop
    Double click on the shortcut and see it will open.

  • I can see my account on itunes but cant get the music that is in my music lib.  how do i get it on my new device?

      Ican see my account on itunes but cant get the music that is in my music lib.  how do i get it on my new device?

    What do you mean 'cant get the music that is in my music lib' ?
    If you mean that it's on your computer's iTunes library then connect your device to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync your music to the device.
    If it's an iOS device, then depending upon what country that you are in then you might also be able to redownload some/all of your past iTunes music purchases via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on it

  • I have downloaded the app game your video but i cant save the videos to my photo library and i cant enable permission because it doesn't appear in privacy settings

    i have downloaded the app game your video but i cant save the videos to my photo library and i cant enable permission because it doesn't appear in privacy settings

    If you have not provided access, you can do so by going to default Settings app > Privacy > Photos and switch ON Game Your Video.
    Game Your Video saves all videos to its own library. To sync to Camera Roll, simply go to Library and tap on Multiple selection button. Now select the videos to copy and tap on Sync button in the bottom bar. (See screenshot attached)
    But you still have some issues, just email it to their support team: [email protected]
    Also update the app. Game Your Video 2.0 is available on the App Store.

  • HT1212 a friend gave me her iphone but could not remember her passcode and the phone is disable.  What can i do to reset the phone

    A friend gave me her old iphone 4 but could not remember the passcode and the phone is disabled.  How can I reset the passcode?

    In HT1212,
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

    My pc had crashed several months ago.  I got it back up and running, however my itunes library with all the songs I purchased is gone.  I still have all songs on my ipod.  If I purchase new music from itunes and have it synced to my ipod will I lose all the music on my ipod?  Also is there a way that itunes can reinstall my music to my library?
