New to the Ipod World and Needing Help

Im use to using the diffrent mp3 player's. I was hoping to know if its possible to sync music from Windows Media Player to the Ipod Nano 5th Generation. I tried and my Ipod says no music but its taking up space.

You need to use iTunes and add the songs to your iTunes library then sync them from iTunes. If they are copy protected songs you purchased they will not be added to your library.

  • Brand new to the Mac World and NEED SOME HELP with startup disk issues

    Hello everyone. I am a new Mac user and I purchased my mac on ebay. It's an iMac that came with tiger 10.4.11. I wanted to get a fresh start on the computer, since the person who had it before me did not erase all of his stuff. I didn't know what to do so I got a startup disk/install disk off ebay also. When I go to install it says "software cannot be installed on this computer." Before I bought the software, I had called the apple store and they said it should be fine to buy any install software to put on the computer. If I could get any help it would be appreciated. I had read previous threads that I should hold down c when I start up (didn't work) or that I should select archive or erase and install (I never got these options when I went to install).

    A warm welcome to the Discussions!
    What iMac is it? I only ask as the Retail Tiger CD/DVDs don't work on IntelMacs, only PPC, (G3, G4, G5 Macs).
    Sorry what you were told by the Apple Store, but if it's a Gray CD/DVD then it is Machine specific as Neil stated.
    Sooo, what exact iMac is it, and what does it say on the CD/DVD?

  • New to the Airport Express and NEED help

    I am really network stupid, I just purchased an Airport Express to play Itunes over my stereo. I have a linksys router. I always get the same error message..."The airport assistant found windows is not allowed to manage wireless networks on this computer this can be a result of having a 3rd party that manages the wireless networks" ... can any one help me on this

    The issue is that your laptop's wireless zero configuration (WZC) service is currently controlled by a third-party utility, instead of by WinXP OS. Typically, this is due to vendors like Dell, who provide an alternative method that is enabled by default. The AirPort Setup Assistant is expecting the native WZC service, and thus, why you're seeing the error message.
    Note: I am going to assume that you are using a Dell laptop for these instructions.
    You can, temporarily, disable the third-party tool, by doing the following steps:
    - Right-click on the Dell Wireless Network Connection utility icon in the System Tray.
    - Select "Open Utility" from the pop-up menu.
    - In the "Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility" window, click on the "Wireless Networks" tab to select it.
    - Uncheck the option "Let this tool manage your wireless networks."
    - Click "OK" to close the window.
    - Re-run the AirPort Setup Assistant to setup the AX.
    To reenable this option, just do the same steps, but re-check the option.

  • Im new at the adobe sceen and need help with transfering a photo and before that making or down load

    im trying to find out how do I down load back drops and then apply a picture to it

    How you go about downloading a background depends on the OS (Windows or Mac OS).
    Also, be aware of copyrights; if you intend to use this background and image professionally, be sure you have permission to use them if they're not yours.
    Simple way of doing this:
    Open the background. Open the image you want in the foreground. Select > All on the menu bar. Click and drag the contents to the background image by dragging to the background image's title tab. Release.

  • I am new to the Apple world and yesterday i bought an APPLE IPAD (4th Gen) .. My Question is "Can we connect a flash drive to the IPAD4 and transfer pdf files to and fro"??

    Hi all,
    I am a newbie to the Apple World and Yesterday I bought an APPLE IPAD (4th Generation).. My primary purpose is to read pdf files on IPAD4.
    I have 3 questions ..
    1. Can we connect a usb flash drive to the ipad4 and read pdf files from it?
    2.  I am using windows since 2000 and accustomed to the file explorer and file management in it. Can I get such kind of environment in IPAD4 ?
    3. Do I have to sync the IPAD too often?
    Regards,
    Manikanth

    Sandisk has recently come out with a device
    http://www.sandisk.com/products/wireless/flash-drive/
    Never used it so I can't comment on whether or not it works well. There are very few devices out there that allow file transfer without going through iTunes or via the internet. IMHO, one real weakness of the iPad, great for consuming data, however not very fully featured when it comes to moving data around, especially if that data doesn't come from iTunes or other online source.
    there is also a device called a WiDrive
    http://www.kingston.com/us/usb/wireless
    that is also a wireless drive for iPads.

  • New to the wireless world and I need help

    I have a WRK54G router. I have one desktop wired to the router and one laptop wireless with a WPC54G network adapter. I am using a Siemens SpeedStream 4100 ADSL modem. When I try to access the internet with my laptop or desktop all I get is page cannot be displayed. If I am on my laptop and I click on my adapter icon it says I am connected to the access point but no internet connection is present. I looked at the led's on the router,  my power, WLAN, 1, & internet are all green. I have tried dropping power to the router, pushing the resset button on the back and restoring factory defaults to the router and nothing seem to help. I the router up on 5-30 and it has worked fine untill today. I completely unhooked the router and went back to the modem and have noproblem accessing the internet. Please help, thanks in advance.
    Message Edited by hower610 on 06-04-200704:48 AM

    I assume you are using AT&T (previously Southwestern Bell), and that you have a PPPoE system, and that your user name and password have been entered into your SpeedStream 4100.  Is that correct?
    If so, then your router should work when reset to factory defaults.
    You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, power down the router.  Using an ethernet cable, wire the modem to the "Internet" port on the router.  Power up the modem and allow it to fully boot.  Note that this modem can take as much as 5 minutes to boot up and login to the AT&T system.  Wait a full 5 minutes.  Then power up your router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).  Then power up your computer.  Now try to connect to the Internet.  It should work.  If not, in the computer, temporarily turn off the software firewall, and try again to use the Internet.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • What is the "Live" page and need help in data merge

    Hello,
    Im very new to indesign so bare with me. Im trying to data merge (Need to create a merge template?) and from what I understand is that I need it to be on the "Live" page. Someone on the forum suggested this.....
    There are two ways to set up the merge template. You can put your placholders on the master page or on the live page. If the placehlders are on the master page, only the frame(s) with the placeholders, along with any other grouped objects, will be duplicated. On the live page, ID will try to duplictate EVERYTHING on the page, so you must be very careful about the setup and sizing of objects.
    I would like to be on the LIVE page...how do I do this? I got everything else sorted but cannot get multiple records for the life of me to come up.
    Thanks in adavance for your help

    Thanks for all your help, Peter. I will do the step and repeat method like you said. I dont know why I cant get this camera for the images to work but I did what you said with Word paint after capturing the page using the keyboard. Unfortunately I cant copy and paste the indesign screen to this page.
    Thanks again for your patience and good help.
    With kind Regards,
    John
    P.S Im sure you will see more questions as I make my way through indesign. LOL

  • Help.  I had to re-install the OS system and need help.

    I had to re-install everything for a problem I rather not get into but.....I had just published a site using iWeb. I forgot to get a copy of my "Site" folder and can no longer open my files that I have published on the Internet using iWeb. Is there a way that I can download it or do I have to make my pages all over again?
    Thanks,
    wapeppper

    Wapepper,
    Sorry to tell you but the answer is really no.
    Your iWeb site is held in the domain file which lives here:
    User / Library / Application Support / iWeb / domain.sites
    You need to start your site from scratch if you dont have this file, you may be able to use copy /paste to pull some of the data back from your published site.
    Note: If you give your new site the same name in Site Organizer in iWeb as the old site, it will delete the old site when you publish the new one.

  • New to the iPad world. Need PDF help!

    I have some work related ebooks online that come up on the web page as a PDF. I don't see where I can save the PDF so I can view it later offline, like on a PC. I need to be able to review them when on an airplane or when Internet is not available. Suggestions?

    In order to save content on the iPad you need an app that supports that file type - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
    Apps that support PDFs include Apple's iBooks app and the Adobe Reader app. When you have a pdf app installed on your iPad you should be able to tap on the open PDFs in Safari and you should get an 'open in' option which will allow you to save it to your app.

  • So i am new to the Mac world, and just purchase a Macbook pro. I have a new Sony camera that i wanted to upload the software onto my Mac. Its a CD of the Sony editing picture program. I put the cd in the side slot, but how do i download and use it?

    I need to figure out how to put this Sony cd picture program onto my Mac for my new camera. Im used to a PC, where it pops up and you download and can just click the icon and open the program. I have no idea where to find it or how to download it to my mac! help!

    First, find out if the disc contains software for Mac OS X also, or only for Windows. This should be indicated in the camera user guide, or on the disc label. If it doesn't explicitly say it's for Mac OS X, then you have nothing to install (except possibly the camera's user guide in PDF format). You may try Sony's tech support site to find out if there is any Mac OS X software you can download. The camera's user guide or 'Get Started' doc should have this info also.

  • One ipod two computers need help please

    I have two computers and 1 ipod 60gb video.Computer #1 is my old computer that stores my videos and music files (about 500 total)It has itunes and quicktime installed on it.I just bought a new sony laptop computer and I installed itunes and quicktime on it as well.I have been using my new computer to download all my new and resent music and videos files and storeing them on the new computer.Well I have about 100 or more music files on it now.My question is how do I transfer the new files on my new computer without deleting my old files on my old computer.I do not want to tranfer the files from old computer on to the new one.If I plug in the ipod to the new computer that does not have the old music files from the old computer then all my old music files will be deleted right since it updates the ipod automatactly itunes will detect that the old files are not on the new computer.How can I tranfer my new files to my ipod????I dont want to put my old music files on my new computer.Im new to the ipod world but i have read a bit on the discossions segment.Please please help any body that can give any suggestions.

    I new to this so I'm not sure if this will work.I have been playing and trying different thing. Try making a new playlist, make sure that the music/book you want to add is in that playlist, and update just that playlist,under your preferences. When you are done you will have to change your preference to Manual update. This way I'm just uploading the new stuff and leaving the info that is on the iPod is not effected. I just added a couple of books on CD, listened to them while I ripped some more CD's I have into different playlists, and then added then later. Not sure if it will work with two computers. Right now I'm just working on my laptop, desktop is down and I have not replaced it yet. I hope this helps.
