Putting files on the ipod

I have had my ipod for a while now but I have not been able to get notes onto my ipod. I have a windows pc. I enabled disk use but I can't seem to get further than that. "Windows Explorer" If I find this then I will find my ipod icon. I don't have an ipod icon in that file. I just don't know what to do next. Can someone help me?

Looks as if you have an iPod shuffle. You will probably get a better response to your question if you post in the appropriate forum. Here's a link.

Putting photos on the ipod

Hi everyone, i currently have iphoto synced with itunes so that my albums go onto my ipod. The photos generally look very good on the ipod. But when i hook up my ipod through the a/v kit to view a slideshow through the big screen HD TV some photos look alright, well others just loook god awfull. What am i doing worong, and how do i correct it? Also is there anyway to make an actual slideshow and put it on the ipod. Something where i can already have music pre-set up for that particular set of photos?
Thanks in advance!

To load full-resolution image files onto iPod:
1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane and click the Photos tab.
2 Select “Include full-resolution photos.”
3 Click Apply.

I have not tried this yet, but try making a slide show in iPhoto - then see if it shows up in the source list in iTunes... you may be able to sync it... not sure :%

I need help with putting notes on the ipod nano!!!!... HELP!!!...

I have no clue how to even go about putting notes on the ipod nano but i allways get lost!!! I just got it and i need some big time help !!!
thanks so much

1 - Ok, to put notes onto your nano, you'll first need to enable it for disk mode. When it's plugged in, go into iTunes, and open up iPod preferences. Check the "Enable disk use" box.
2 - In your Windoze file browser (what you click on files in), locate your iPod, which should be located in My Computer. Open that up, and locate the notes folder. That is where you can put any notes, in the form of text files, that you want.
3 - Make the notes. iPods only recognize plain text and html files. So, when you open the text file up in a word processor, make sure to save it as a plain text file (.txt extension). Then, just drag it onto your iPod.
In disk mode, your iPod will need to be ejected before you unplug it from your computer. Right click on it (in your My Computer folder) and click "Eject"

Is a copy of .xml file on the iPod too? If so, how can I copy ONLY the .xml file to my computer and NOT have to copy all my music files too?

I had to re-load my OS (Windows XP Pro) from a HD snapshot via Acronis True Image Server. I save my OS on my C: drive and all my data files on my D: drive. So when I re-loaded my OS, I still have all of my music files intact.
I have re-loaded the OS before and had to re-create iTunes library which I did by doing the follwing:
1. cut & paste .xml file in iTunes folder to desktop
2. delete .itl file in iTunes folder
3. import .xml file through iTunes file>library>iport playlist
4. navigate to .xml file on desktop and import
This worked last time I re-loaded my OS but not this time for some reason.
So I'm wondering if there is a copy of the .xml file on the iPod itself in the iPod_Control folder that I can copy and paste to my comuter desktop and import via the above steps?
I have seen all kinds of solutions on the web that include copying the music files from the iPod to the computer. I don't need to do that. I have the music files. I just need the .xml file so iTunes can talk to my iPod (5th Generation - 30G).

Backup your music library, that is the only way to ensure it does not go missing through theft, damage, operator error, machine breaks, upgrades go wrong, operator goes wrong .........

IPod classic displays 'No music' after sync, HDD problem? Geschiedenis • Verwijder So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn't find any files on the iPod anymore. H

So recently I synced my iPod Classic 160 GB like I did so many times and when I wanted to play some music afterwards it couldn’t find any files on the iPod anymore. However when you look in the settings it displays that ~roughly 90 GB free space is available. Seen the fact that I had about 60 gigs of music this doesn’t seem like a coincidence and I think my music is still somewhere on the ipod but the HDD isn’t recognizing it anymore.
I’ve tried resetting it, and resetting it to factory settings, which didn’t work. When connected to a desktop it won’t be recognized by iTunes, it displays an error message that the iPod cannot be read and that I have to reset it to factory settings.
I’ve spent some time researching this problem yesterday and I ran into a myriad of vaguely similar problems didn’t really offer any help. Currently I’m thinking that formatting the iPod might work, and restoring the software afterwards. However this is a rather bold strategy so I’d like to consult you here first.
Thanks in advance!

Hi turingtest2,
Thank you for the info, with formatting my iPod I managed to connect it to iTunes again.
However..in the page you linked to there is a section about how transferring large amounts of data can dump your library. That seems to be the problem in this case. It won't even allow me to transfer more than 2 gigabytes of music per sync, if I go higher it will dump everything again. Having over >60 GB of music in my library, this is disastrous to say the least.
Do you think that there is any other solution besides the method you mentioned involving Smart Playlists?

IPod Updater error - "there may be open files on the iPod"

I'm trying to help my nephew fix his scroll-wheel 10 gb iPod before he embarks on a long flight to India. When he plugged his iPod into his new iBook, iTunes launched, but wouldn't let him copy any purchased music to his iPod. It told him that he needed to upgrade his software. I've seen from the posts here that this is not uncommon.
We went ahead and tried, but the only option was "restore", "updated" had been grayed out. Since he had already copied all of his music off of his iPod onto his new iBook with Senuti, we opted to restore. This failed and we now get a message from the updater saying that "an error occured. There may be open files on the iPod".
If I disconnect the iPod from the computer, the screen displays a folder with an exclamation point and then alternates with an Apple logo. It looks like it's in a loop trying to start up, but then goes to the folder again, then goes blank for a second and displays the Apple logo, etc.
If I plug in via USB, for a brief second I get the "do not disconnect message", but then it goes right to "OK to disconnect". After I disconnect, the "OK to disconnect" does not go away, I have to reset in order to get back to the alternating folder with exclamation and Apple logo.
If I plug in via firewire, the iPod does mount in Finder and iTunes recognizes. It give me the message stating that version 2.3 is available and do I want to update. If I choose "cancel", the iPod docks in iTunes and I can manually add songs to the iPod (but not purchased music). But when I undock, it goes back to the alternating folder and logo.
If I say I do want to update, the updater launches 11-17-05, but gives me the "there may be open files" error message.
Anyone had this problem and/or know how to fix it? Another factor to throw into the mix: I'm pretty sure my nephew was using this machine with a PC and everything we've tried together has been on the Mac. I've tried docking using Virtual PC, but it doesn't recognize the iPod at all, using firewire or USB.
Does anyone know if I SHOULD be able to update or restore this iPod using a Mac?
Also, I've tried this on both my nephew's iBook and my Powerbook. Both are running 10.4.3 with iTunes 6.0.1.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am having precisely the same issue.
I am running Adobe Acrobat XI Standard on Windows 8 Professional. All updates have been applied to both.
(I have 4 other computers with identical configurations where this problem does not occur.)
In the problem machine (and a 2nd computer with the same issue) I can easily open the file using a UNC path, e.g. \\server\h\filename.pdf in Adobe Acrobat.
Using the drive mapping, net use h: \\server\h, I cannot access the file H:\filename.pdf.
I can't open H: from within Adobe Acrobat either, not just the PDF.
I can open any other file on that drive with any other program.
I can open \\server\h\filename.pdf and the H: drive from Foxit Reader installed on the same computer.
The specific problem is that Adobe Acrobat XI can't open or see a mapped drive by drive letter.
Any ideas?

HT1386 I have a new computer with windows 8.1. I want to add the 52 Gb of music now on my old ipod to itunes on the computer. I don't want to wipe out the files on the ipod by syncing to the new computer which has no music files on it yet! How can I do

Apparently I wasn't clear. The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives. I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists. How can I do this?

Why mac always delete files on the ipod? and the third this!

why mac always delete files on the ipod? and the third this!

It's not Mac, it is iTunes, especially the recent version.
Every week you can see about 10 posts on iPod missing songs after ejecting from iTunes.
Well maybe Apple is telling iPod users, to buy their latest innovation like iPad 2.

Nothing else is running.
The only way I can eject is to do so manually, when I do I then find the ipod hasnt synched.
Any ideas?

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Why apple dont put siri on the ipod touch

why apple dont put siri on the ipod touch

Apple has not shared that information with us.
Speculation runs from they want you to buy an iPhone 4S, to Apple is rolling out Siri and wants to control the number of Siri users while they work out the bugs in their North Carolina data center before opening it up to the existing millions of iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod Touch iOS5 capable devices.
Apple has already experienced scaling issues with just the iPhone 4S models using Siri, so it is actually possible that they are working on the scaling issues.
Whether Apple actually makes Siri available on other iOS5 devices, only Apple knows and they tent to be "Tight Lipped" about future plans

I use OverDrive to get audiobooks from my library to listen on my ipod. Does not work since latest update of ipod. Converts the WMA and acts like it is putting it on the ipod but then it isn't there.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.Have yo tried:
- Backing up and restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Go to the OverDrive support site

No music on ipod but in disk mode I can play the files from the ipod

My company now requires our laptops to be encrypted. So we have this Utimaco Safeware stuff installed. Ever since it was installed my ipod no longer can play music. Odd thing is I can put the ipod into enable disk use and the songs are there and I can play them in quicktime. After I disconnnect the ipod the ipod tells me there is no music.

If the files were placed on the iPod outside of iTunes or another iPod manager, the iPod will not recognize them as songs. Those transferred to the iPod through iTunes will not normally be visible as files on it.

How do I transfer the music files on the ipod to a computer

Is that not supposed to be done. That is what I thuoght this thing was for. I am really confused. The only thing I would like to do is put what I have on my I pod onto my laptop. What am I doing wrong.

There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
