  • I cant update my iPod to iOS 5 without losing all the songs I've bought from the iPod, how do I update without losing them?

    So, I've been trying to update my iPod to iOS 5 because every app I want is requires iOS 5. When I try and update it on the computer it wont let me, it will go for hours saying it's "backing up". I decided I'd try and just restart it, but when I click it, it says that if I continue iTunes will delete any songs that aren't on iTunes library, and the songs I bought from the iPod itself are not on the iPod yet. I don't know what to do. If I don't update the software I wont be able to update any apps, or get new ones, and if I to update I'll loose the songs I've bought. Please help.

  • New computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod?

    new computer/old ipod - how do I update my libray from my ipod? the music wasn't transfered from cd's, shared music files...no purchased from the ipod store.

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything on your new computer.

  • Two gmail accounts set up in outlook thru google sync. how can i see both of them in reading dashboard

    Two gmail accounts set up in outlook thru google sync. how can i see both of them in reading dashboard. I want to see bothe accounts with all folders on dashboard

    Hi,
    Since the issue is on Outlook through Google Apps Sync, I don't have the environment to test it for you, the support that I can provide is limited.
    Anyway, I still want to know, what did you refer to by "dashboard"? Do you mean the Navigation Pane on the left side?

  • Old 2005 Video iPod - How do I take music off and add to my iTunes music library?  And battery life issues...

    I bought my husband a Video iPod clear back in 2005.  I bought the 30GB serial No 4V544C1WTXK Model number A1136.  Yes, very, very old.  However, it is an Apple product and therefore should be good forever right?    We actually rarely used it then and have not used it in years.  I got it out and brushed it off the other day.  I have two questions:
    1-  I have some great music on it that I would like to transfer into my iTunes music library.  Is there a way to move it from the iPod into my iTunes library?
    2-  It isn't really holding a battery charge even when it's been charging for hours.  Is there anything I can do about that?  Do I need to replace the battery?  Is there even a way to replace the battery?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance. 

    1-  I have some great music on it that I would like to transfer into my iTunes music library.  Is there a way to move it from the iPod into my iTunes library?
    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 PC and into iTunes.

    2-  It isn't really holding a battery charge even when it's been charging for hours.  Is there anything I can do about that?  Do I need to replace the battery? 
    Given the age of the device and that fact that it wasn't used for a lengthy period of time, it's likely that the iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.  Lithium-ion batteries need constant activity in order to maintain any sort of charge.  However, all batteries generally deteriote over time and lose their ability to charge. 
    Is there even a way to replace the battery?
    Yes.  You can choose to have Apple swap the battery for a new one for the price indicated on this page.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    You could also choose to send it to a third party service instead to have them swap it out at a much lower cost.  A Google search for "iPod battery replacement" should give you a number of results to work with.

  • Why does my Windows Vista computer say the wrong iPod Touch name? I have multiple iPod Touches and after updating one of them, Windows Explorer says they are all the same name now.

    Sorry for the exceedingly long title...
    I have multiple iPod touches, and I just updated one of them to the newest iOS (5.0.1). Now whenever I plug in any of the others, the name of the one I updated appears in Windows explorer. How can I make Windows able to determine which iPod is which again?

    iPod Classic are high drain USB devices, I hope you are not trying to connnect them simultaneously to iTunes, which will definitely hang your USB Host controller, thereby freeze iTunes.
    But here is an Apple Support Article on using multiple iPods for iTunes.

  • Two Computers, Two iPods - how to sync between all of them?

    I have four Apple products:
    Mac Mini, OSX 10.6.4
    Macbook Pro, OSX 10.6.4
    iPod Touch 8gig, 3G iOS4
    iPod Touch 32gig, 3G iOS4
    I have different apps on the Mac Mini than I do on the Macbook Pro, and different apps on each iPod Touch. I want to sync them. I want to be able to put the apps from my Mac Mini on my 8 gig iPod touch, and put apps from my Macbook Pro on the 32 gig iPod touch. (My husband has bought some apps I want on my iPod, etc.)
    How can I do this? When I plug my 8gig iPod touch into the mini (the 8gig has previously been synced with the Macbook Pro) it tells me that in order to sync apps from the Mini it has to delete all the apps on the iPod.
    They were all bought using the same account.
    How can I put all the apps on all the machines - or, at least, both iPods?? Is it possible? Click and drag for apps doesn't work.
    Thanks!

    Thank you - homesharing is exactly what I wanted. Never noticed this before. (Never owned two Macs before!

  • Ipod nano & video ipod

    I have a nano and a 30gb video. Can i use both ipods on the same computer were I can put the same songs on both ipods? If so, How. My nano will not download songs from my laptop. My 30 gb will. I have never set up my nano on the laptop as a user...how do i do that?

    When you are adding a second iPod for your own use, it's usually just a matter of connecting it to your computer and it will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually. Are you getting any error messages, is it showing up in iTunes and your computer?

  • Purchased tv shows wont transfer to 30g video ipod even after latest update

    OK, so, after this latest update for itunes and ipod, i can only get one purchased tv show to transfer to the ipod video. how do i get the rest to transfer?
      Windows XP  

    Don't have my video with me, but do a search in the threads, or look in the help files in iTunes and you can find it, or someone will jump in here with it. I know you will need to connect your iPod, highlight it in the source list, and it should be on one of the syncing tabs.

  • I have an old video ipod, how do I get the photos off of it and onto my laptop (windows 8.1)?

    This iPod is so old. The battery doesn't really work anymore. So I want to take the pictures off of it and get them on my laptop.

    I'm not sure. My laptop says that the charger isn't recognized, but it works fine with my iPod touch. So it's about a 50/50 chance I can get it to work. I got it working yesterday, and I could see on iTunes how much storage it had left and all that, so I think if I just play around with it some I can get it to work.
