Older ipod and imatch

My desktop computer crashed with all of my itunes music on it. Now, it only has the music purchased from itunes, not music I bought elsewhere. Will I need to upload all those songs (4500 songs) to my laptop to itunes in order for it to be in itunes to let imatch find it and let it become available?
I think I already know the answer... I dont have much space on my laptop for that.

Yes, you'll need to rip them all into iTunes first.

i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
hence why i have 3 now
hard to believe you cannot combine into one
oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
thanks

I have an older ipod, and it won't let me download apps. It says my iPod isn't compatible?

I have an older ipod, and it won't let me download apps. It says my iPod isn't compatible? Then when i plug my iPod onto iTunes it says it's fully updated.

You don't say which version of iPod you have but apparently it's fully updated to it's capability yet not to the level that newer iPods can go. Some apps do require the latest IOS level.

Older iPod and Viewsonic Monitor with dock

Hello All,
I just bought the 22" Viewsonic LCD monitor with iPod dock on it. I have an older 40gig iPod. (almost 4 years old)
The doc sync's with my iPod and iTunes just fine, BUT it does not charge. I originally thought that it was an issue with the monitor, but after repacking and replacing it, I still have the issue on my new monitor.
Is there some kind of charging issue with the older iPods and this dock? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you,
v

I just purchased the 22" View Sonic and my 5th Gen Video iPod won't even sync with iTunes. In fact I get an error messagage from windows saying the devices is not working.

So, if that is your iPod model, and you have a computer with a FireWire port, which even the current Macs do not have anymore, the cables are commonly available. However, the one to get depends on the type of FireWire port you have on the computer. The two likely types are 6-pin (older FireWire 400) and 9-pin (newer FireWire 800). Your iPod has the 6-pin (400) port.
Apple-centric vendor OWC has a selection of all types
http://eshop.macsales.com/catsearch/firewire+1394+cables
If your computer has 9-pin (800), you need a 6-pin (400) to 9-pin (800) cable. If it has 6-pin (400) that looks like the port on the iPod, then you need 6-pin to 6-pin.

I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod. At some stage I lost the music files from my library. Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again? I stupidly synced the wrong one.

Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

Older IPod and iH4 player

I have an older 20gb ipod and just bought an IHome 4 player. Obviously none of the adapters are right for it, but it didn't seem to need one-I put the ipod on top and it played one song and then quit. The IHome is working fine with all the controls, clock etc. but I can't get the ipod to play. Do I need a download to make the ipod compatible? Help!!

Older ipod and a new windows laptop...why can't I use my ipod on it?

I have an old ipod, version 3.1.1 with the clickwheel and have always downloaded song on my mac. i just purchased a new pc laptop and tried to hook up my ipod but it said it won't work on a pc. is it because its so old?

From the article I linked:
"Using an iPod formatted for Macintosh on a Windows computer is not supported. Using an iPod formatted for Windows on a Macintosh computer is not supported. To determine your iPod's hard disk format see "iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format." To change the iPod format you will need to restore iPod using iTunes.

80GB older IPOD and new 160GB IPOD multiple iTunes - how to consolidate

I purchased an 80GB a year ago and created playlists etc. Now I purchased a new 160GB and created a new iTunes file but I would like to consolidate the music files into one location. Maybe syncing two different IPOD's from the same iTunes. If I sync the old IPOD, to the new file, it will erase all existing files and playlists. I would also like to save on the disk space. How can I accomplish this without spending all day?

Never giving up and never letting the lack of a manual defeat me.... with a little luck and persistent trial and error I finally figured it out. And no, it wasn't memory, because honestly I can't recall from years ago how I had put that transmitter in pairing mode.
And for those of you who cherish outdated technology or may come across one.... The blue LED window on the side of the transmitter is also a pushbutton. With the iPod paused, press and hold the LED button immediately after power up, and the transmitter goes into pairing mode.
Now time to go enjoy my music with my new bluetooth headset
cheers,
N
