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.

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.

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.

    Someone has signed in on my iTunes how do I take them off ?

    If this is on an iPad and you mean that your son's account is being filled in automatically when you open the iTunes Store app, then go here:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    and tap the incorrect Apple ID and sign out. Then just sign in using your own Apple ID.
    Sorry for the probable incorrect information in my previous reply, but it helps if you provide a full description of the problem when you post. That way we're less likely to make incorrect guesses about what you mean.
    Regards.

    I've got a 7 year old 30gb video ipod and the headphone port no longer works.
    I went to the Apple shop and they said it is now vintage and they can't fix my baby they offered me 10% to trade her in for a new model...
    what else can I try to save her?  I've tried cleaning and wiggling and restoring. Everything looks and feels ok.

    I've just found 'iPod Dock Connector Headphone Jack' on ebay it as an adapter that will connect my earphones via the wide ipod port better than 10% of something new

  • Please help me.. How do i take songs off my ipod??

    ok so i deleted the songs off of my itunes library but theyre still on my ipod. how do i get them off?

    Your iPod and iTunes library is two different things. Doing something to your iTunes library wont affect your iPod.
    To remove the songs from your iPod, do the following:
    1. Open your iTunes and connect your iPod.
    2. After your iPod shows up on the pane ( left side ), click on Songs.
    3. All of the songs currently on your iPod should be listed there. ( Including Videos, Etc if applicable )
    4. Click on ONE song, then do CTRL + A ( Windows ) or Apple + A ( Apple ).
    5. Press Delete.
    6. A prompt window should show up asking you if you want to remove these songs from your iPod. Click Yes.
    Hope this helps. If you have any other questions/comments please post them.

    For iTunes purchases, you can transfer them back to iTunes by plugging  your iPod into her iTunes library and choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying non=iTunes purchased content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • How do I take pictures off my nano and place them on my computer?

    How do I take pictures off my nano and place them on my computer?
    I open the drive... and there are 4 folders, contacts, calendar, notes and photos (in photos there is a folder called thumbs and a file called photo database) Not to mention my music is nowhere to be found on the drive...
    Is it even possible to take photos and songs off a ipod and place them on a computer?

    If you only copied the photos as thumbnails (and it seems you did), you can't do this by enabling disk use and dragging the photos from iPod to computer so you'll need a program such as this one.
    CopyPod Photo
    Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.

    I share an iTunes account with my siblings. So their contacts appear on my phone too. How can I take it off?

    You can share the same Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
    But for all other Apple services like:
    FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

  • How can I take lion off of my MacBook Pro and go back to using Snow Leopard

    How can I take lion off of my MacBook Pro because it has too much problems with the new operating system, I have talked to Apple support for both computers and still nothing happens I think they know that there's something wrong and they don't know how to fix it are there working on fixing it. So how can I put snow leopard Mac on my computer so that it works every time, there's a lot of good features in Lion but there's a lot of bad features and especially when it comes to turning on your computer and the memory that it has held so if one item is missing then it doesn't work and you have to reboot the computer to get it to work but I still like my Mac.
