Old iTunes with new iPod

Hi,
Here's my question. I have an older iPod from circa 2004. I want to get one of the new 'iPod videos'. If I do this can I use the new iPod with the iTunes that I have on my PC or is the iTunes only allowed to interface with the initial iPod that it was sync'd with.
thanks guys,
Dennis

You can use the new iPod without problems. Just make sure that all your tracks are in iTunes (i.e. you don't have any that are just on your old iPod and not in iTunes) and when you connect the new iPod, you'll be stepped through getting it set up, just as when you first connected your old iPod.
If you plan to use both iPods with the same iTunes library, take a look here:

  • Using an old mac with new ipod?

    I own a beige PowerPC G3 (333 Mhz) with USB PCI card and Mac OS 10.2.8. I was wondering if it's possible to use the 5th generation ipod on my aging machine? I plan on purchasing something new very soon, but I was hoping I could at least use my new ipod on my old machine for a little while. I am using itunes 6.0.1.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the response. I was hoping to find someone that has been successful with using their ipod with an older machine despite the fact that apple states a user needs more up to date hardware than what I already have. Has anyone out there had any success?

  • How do I use iTunes with new iPod

    I have my own video iPod, and use iTunes without a problem.
    However, I bought a refurbished iPod for a relative, and am now trying to download music onto this new iPod. When I go into my iTunes with the new iPod connected to my computer, I can't get the new iPod to show up on the task bar -- so I can't download music onto it.
    Do I have to create a separate account for this new iPod, or somehow download iTunes again for this new iPod in order to get music onto it???
    Thanks.

    Using a second iPod is normally just a question of connecting it to your computer choosing how you want to update it and using your existing iTunes. You don't need a separate Windows account unless two users want to use the one computer and maintain separate libraries. You don't need two instances of iTunes for separate accounts. Have you had look at either of these troubleshooting pages?

    Yes, you can.

  • Want old itunes on new ipod

    I got a new ipod but i want to keep my old tunes. i plug the ipod in but nothing happens. What do i do?????????

    If you are using Windows ( and you don't say, so it makes helping you that much more difficult), then you need to format the iPod for Windows since all iPods are Mac formatted out of the box.
    Download and install the latest iPod Updater, then restart your computer.
    Run the updater program, connect your iPod when prompted (not before), and follow the set up procedure, and you should be good to go.
    And please, in future posts, give details of your computer and operating system.

  • Itunes with new ipod

    Ok I recently just switched ipods from a 5th generation to a 7th generation ipod classic. My question is how do I get Itunes to show me 7th generation games and other 7th generation stuff on Itunes? It keeps showing my 5th generation games for ipod. Are there any games for the 7th gen. ipod? Thanks

    There's no such thing as a "7th generation" iPod. If the iPod classic were to be labelled with a generation number (and Apple has not done so), it would be a 6th generation iPod.
    So, if you have an iPod classic, you will find all of the games in the iTunes store to be compatible with that model iPod.
    Simply clicking on the "iPod games" link on the main home page of the iTunes store will display all the games currently available.

  • I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

    I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them. How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Play old games on new ipod;

    I purchased games with my old IPOD classic (how do I know if it's a fifth generation, a classic or a sixth generation ipod? My old ipod was 30 gig and I bought 3 games for it. After that ipod took a dive (literally), I purchased a new ipod 80 gig - I believe sixth generation? While my old games show up under "applications" in iTunes, they DO NOT show up or synch with new Ipod.
    Since I have new ipod - are those games no longer usable? at 4.99 each? At least itunes should provide an upgrade to the games already purchased and licensed to the new sixth generation version?

  • Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

    Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Altec InMotion . . . will it work with newer iPods?

    Got my iPod stolen. I had the old 60 or 80 gig monochrome screen white iPods. try to find them on eBay but it shows every iPod ever made and don't know how to specify the one I have.
    Getting a new one, apart from being unnecessary, is all my peripherals (inMotion speakers and iTalk) and i don't know if they will work with newer iPods.
    On inMotion since that's what I use the most, although the size of the "hole" is big like the older iPods the actual connector seems like it might just fit into the newer iPods. Online Altec says it fits various iPods but I have no way of knowing if it's my same unit they're referring to or a new one.
    Also, if anyone knows how you identify that earlier iPod (bought in 03-04) for eBay searches, I've gone through pages and haven't found a single one like mine.
    thanks

    P.S. It had the track wheel on the bottom and it was either 60 or 80 gigs. Bought in Fall 2004.
    thanks

    Hi,
    For custom forms and reports, you need to open it using Forms/Reports Builder 10g, compile it, and upload it again to the server.
    For the CUSTOM_TOPs, make sure it is set in the custom<CONTEXT_NAME>.sh file under $APPL_TOP, and in default.env file on the Applications tier.
