New Ipod Classic How to update to new Itunes with older Mac

I have replaced Ipod Classic today, old one died. I have my library on Mac. New IPod needs itunes update and Mac OSX 10.5.8 can not support latest update. Classic needs update 9 or later. How do I download an earlier Itunes to use new IPod?

That iPod classic requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Mac OS X 10.6 DVDs are available on the online Apple Store; they require an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM.

New Ipod Classic 160Gb not recognising songs in Itunes library

I have just purchased a new Ipod Classic. There are 800 songs in my Itunes library that are not syncing to the new Ipod. There were no problems with my old Ipod 5th Gen.
The songs that are not syncing are songs that I have loaded into Itunes from my own CDs.
Does anybody know why or how to fix this problem.
I am not manually syncing, I have told Itunes that I want to sync all songs with this new Ipod.

This is Apple's brilliant new marketing scheme: we'll make all our new iPods NON compatible with older OSX's - then, oh my god! People will be forced to pay for an OS upgrade. Just another example of how Apple loooves to wow us with their sleek functioning products, then hit a us with a curveball (machines die the day your warranty is up, items not compatible) and hope we will still be wowed by their products. My iPod died after a hearty 2 years of service (NOT long enough after having spent $300 on it), I go out to buy a new itouch, and what do you know - not compatible with my itunes. Now cannot get my 5000 songs onto my portable music player. Wish I could use a Zune.

HELP! New iPod Classic 80GB Recognized By Computer, Not iTunes

I have a brand new ipod classic, and it refuses to be recognized by itunes so i can install it. The "install new hardware" wizard pops up instead and it thinks it is a USB Mass Storage Device. I've tried everything on the apple support page.
PS I am aware that this sort of question probably has been answered before. I am new to this board haven't found the information i need. thanks for the help!

Hi,
I'd been really frustrated with ITunes not recognizing my IPod after failed attempts at using the "5Rs" to resove the issue. I just wanted you guys to know that I found a resolution posted under http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372 and after following the instructions, I "forced" ITunes to recognize the Pod and it is right now, as we speak, syncing my entire library back to the IPod! THANK YOU to whomever posted this solution! I was so lost without my IPod and was about to go on a trip without it! Whew! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TS1382 have a new iPod classic, did have nano, have an iTunes acct., but when i connect my new iPod to computer it will only transfer music not playlists or music videos ... what am i doing wrong?

Having trouble syncing music videos and playlists to my new iPod classic, already have an iTunes account, have an iPod nano, what am i doing wrong?

You may want to check ur settings. when you plug in ur ipod make sure it is highlighted then at the top of the page you will see tabs Summary Music Podcast Info....click on the MUSIC tab...in that box there will be 2 options:
Sync Music
Entire Music Library
Selected playlist, artist, albums, and genres
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CHECKED OFF ENTIRE MUSIC LIBRARY
I hope this works....Let me know

Hi Amy2250,
Have you tried to sync music to the iPod via the iPod subdirectory of iTunes? To do this, plug your iPod into your computer, go into iTunes, click on the iPod tab, click on 'Music' in the iPod subdirectory and select whether you want to sync your whole iTunes library or just selected songs and press sync.
Alternatively, have you tried manually transferring music onto the iPod using the 'drag and drop' method? To do that, go into iTunes with your iPod connected, click on the iPod tab, in the iTunes iPod Classic subdirectory click on the 'Summary' tab, then tick the box saying 'Manually manage music' and click save. Then, in the same subdirectory click on the 'On this iPod' tab and click on Music. Then, select the songs you want to transfer either in Finder or Windows Explorer, select the songs you want to copy to the iPod and drag them to the blank list in the 'On this iPod' area of iTunes you just opened.
Good luck,

New ipod classic , how do i get movies on it

Hi there, i recently got myself a new 80gb classic and i'm trying to get movies onto it but itunes only recognises about 3 of my movies ( they are all paid for and legit) it says these are in the wrong format as well. Does anyone know any way i could convert them to the required mpeg4 format or recommend a good free converting program.
Thanks in advance
John

Hey there
Should have read the terms and conditions properly, at the moment i'm looking at movies already on my hard drive , i got a free digital download of i am legend when i purchased the special edition dvd so thats already legal and paid for and the other movies are personal ones off my camcorder (handy for showing those holiday videos to relatives) i have absolutely zero experience in doing stuff like this so any help you could throw my way would be great.
Kind Regards
John

New Ipod Classic-how do I install ITunes to External HD

I now have a 160 GB classic to upgrade from a full to capacity 30GB Fifth Gen. I have purchased a 1TB External HD (Seagate)to run ITunes to save space on the home PC. Please could someone guide me through the installation of ITunes straight to the new HD. I've just tried to download ITunes and the application has frozen.Also my existing ITunes library ( held on laptop) does not include all my existing Ipod items - is there a painless way to get my music tranferred from my old Ipod to my new one? I'm sure there is a straightforward solution - I just can't see it at the moment. Thank you in anticipation.

Hello rajrishi,
Simply connect the iPod to your computer and iTunes library, set it up to sync how you so desire, and then sync away. Nothing else to it.
There is no limit to the number oif iPods you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account.

How to update covers in iTunes Match from Mac to iPhone?

While importing a CD to iTunes I made the mistake in adding afterwards a wrong cover. I recognized this mistake after updating/refreshing iTunes Match and downloading the new album on my iPhone. In iTunes I changed the cover to the correct one. But the wrong cover is still on my iPhone. Updating/refreshing iTunes Match is not resolving this issue.
Any idea on how to resolve this issue?

Try this:
drag and drop the album in a folder on your desktop (the metadata and cover will be saved)
delete the album in itunes.
sync iTunes Match
import the album back from the desktop folder.
sync iTunes Match
however, you will lose 5 star ratings if you saved any and listening counter.

New ipod classic crashes pc every time I plug it in

I've been reading the forums, and know I'm not the only person experiencing this, but here goes...
I bought a brand new 120gb ipod classic and downloaded itunes yesterday. I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 and the latest available download of itunes. I have the latest available drivers for my printer, webcam, and USB 2.0 card.
I have tried plugging the ipod into my USB 2.0 hub, into the computer direct, into different USB ports, and disconnecting all other USB devices, all to no effect.
Every time I plug in the ipod, Windows recognises that the Apple ipod USB Driver has been connected, then my computer restarts. I simply don't know what else to do. I've reset the ipod, what on earth do I try next? I've wasted a whole day, and it's made me absolutely miserable.
Help, please.

Hmmm... The guy writing that article indicates that the problem is to do with the Apple USB driver. It appears that for him, and many others, Apple's temporary fix of rolling back the USB driver from version 1.35 to version 1.29, has resolved the problem of Blue Screen Of Death.
It hasn't fixed it for me. I've got the XP sp3 and the new iPod Classic 120GB, and I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it from the Apple website several times. I've checked, and my version of iTunes 8 has version 1.29 of the USB driver. I've tried with the iPod in disk mode too. But I keep getting the BSOD, with the message "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL".
However, my old iPod Photo 20GB from 3 years ago works fine!!!

My ipod classic is connected to a new computer, but only sync 241 songs, out 1825. How can I fix this?

I ran into this same problem earlier with my new iPod classic 160 gb. Turns out it could be your files show in iTunes but they aren't connected to the location those music tracks are actually located.
Does this make any sense?
You basically have to make sure iTunes is picking your songs from the right music folder via your preferences.
Option 1: If your iTunes is completely wiped blank and your music is stored in a safe place, backed up, etc. You can do the following:
Step A. Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder
**** please be sure to pick a location that is new or different from where you ACTUALLY stored your music to prevent your files from deleting itself as it updates****
For example, if you stored your music on your Desktop then you wouldn't choose your music folder to be the one in Desktop. You choose the folder where you want your music to go such as C:\My Music or in Mac, you choose the music folder.
Step B. Once you choose the folder where all your music is stored and you check the box that says "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library."
Step C. This is the part that will make sense. Drag the folder on desktop that houses all your music into iTunes. Because you checked the box "Copy Files to iTunes Media when adding to library," iTunes will copy all the backup music you dragged into the folder location you designated it in "Preferences > iTunes Media Folder Location > choose folder."
---- once all that is done, your itunes will have ALL your music tracks linked to the right location on your computer and your iPod will sync with as many or all of the music you desire.
Hope this helps.

Just got a new iPod Classic and can only sync 536 songs of the almost 8,000 that I have stored in the cloud. How can I download all my music to the new iPod Classic?

Does anyone have an idea how to transfer music stored in the cloud to a new iPod classic?

You must download it to your iTunes library first, before syncing the iPod classic.

You'll need to contact Apple then for help on resetting some of that account information.

How do I install backup into a new ipod classic

I lost an ipod classic and just bought a new one to replace it.
How do I setup the new one using the backup of the old one?
Thanks for the help

Hello fguzman07,
Simply connect the new iPod to the same iTunes library, set it up how you like to, and sync away. I'm not sure how you would have a "backup" of the old one unless your older iPod was actually an iPod Touch.
