Re: Can I use my iPod mini to transfer tv shows?

I have a 4gb iPod mini and would like to transfer some TV shows from my G5 to a friend's G5 laptop. Is there any reason why I can"t?

I would think you could...
Enable Disk Use on the iPod, then find the video file on the hard drive (right click the song and click Get Info, at the bottom of that screen). Drag it (not from iTunes, from its place on the Hard Drive) to the iPod, then plug it in the other computer. Drag it onto the other computer, then add it to iTunes through File>Add to Library.
I hope this helps! Post back if you need more info!

  • Can I use a Ipod Mini with the Nike running chip?!

    I'm looking at buying a Ipod Mini, but I was told that it might not work with the chip in my running shoes from Nike! Is there anyone who knows if this is true or not!!

    Can I use a Ipod Mini with the Nike running chip?!
    No. Only the iPod nanos and the second generation iPod touch are compatible with it.

  • Old computer crashed, how can I use my ipod mini on my new computer. I no longer have the original itunes software cd.

    I have an ipod mini. My computer crashed and no longer have software. Can I still use my mini to go into itunes and buy music? I have a new computer, windows 7. Thanks.

    Yes, you should still be able to use your iPod Mini on your new Windows 7 PC. Simply download iTunes from Apple's website and you should be good to go.  You don't need the original software that came with it anymore as it's now bundled with the iTunes application.

  • How come i can't use my ipod mini as a hard drive

    I learnt how to use my ipod mini as a hard drive by watching the video on this web site. But after I check "enable disc use" and then exit out of itunes, nothing happens. it says in the video that after you exit out of itunes a box will appear showing your ipod and then you can begin adding files to your ipod, but this doesn't happen for me. can you tell me why?

    Go to My Computer and find your iPod, it would be under removable disks.

  • Can i use my iPod mini program on 2 computers?

    I have the program on my home laptop, where I do most of my down loading and what have you.
    I wanted to know if I can also use the program on my work computer?
    If I plug my iPod mini in my work computer, will it erase all of my songs?

    The CD contains iTunes and the iPod software. You need to install iTunes on both computers (from the CD or off the net - it's free). Don't worry about the iPod software this is OK only on your home computer.

  • Can I use my iPod Mini on my mac and my pc?

    I have a mac and a pc laptop from work. I installed iTunes and iPod software on the pc but am afraid to connect my iPod to the laptop for fear I will do something wrong. Any suggestions?
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   and my PC is a Dell running the latest version of Windows XP

    Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.

If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

  • Can I Use my Ipod Mini and Nano 2gen on same computer?

    I have an Ipod mini and have just purchased an Ipod Nano 2gen. Can I just install the Nano without changing anything that is on my computer for my Mini?
    Thanks for any help.

    You may need to update iTunes to work with the second generation nano; updating iTunes will not erase anything from your library, and it will continue to work with the iPod mini.

  • Can I use my Ipod Mini A1070 charger with the 4th gen Shuffle?

    I have the old Ipod Mini which came with the A1070 charger.  Would this charger be OK with the 4th generation (current) Shuffle?
    The connections all fit properly but I was concerned about the compatibility between how much power was going into the device from the AC outlet.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the response.  Just got the Shuffle home and the Ipod Mini charger is not compatible.  The connections don't fit.  The connections do fit on my I-Pad charger and I've heard stories going both ways that it will work and it won't work.

  • Can i use one ipod on two computers?

    Can anyone help me please?
    My son has ipod shuffle and has a separate itunes account, but before he got an ipad for his birthday, we set up itunes on my home computer, using my itunes account.
    His account has lots of credit whereas mine now doesn't as we have to use my account to purchase his music!
    We need to know if it's possible for him to purchase music from his itunes account either directly from his ipad or from my computer using his itunes a/c and ipod. A friend told him that he can't use his ipod on another account as it would wipe out his songs. Is this correct?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think you need to manually update on at least the computer that has the smaller music selection.
    it may be best to turn off automatic updates on both machines and manually add and delete songs.
    or you could network both computers to share one music library

  • How can I use my iPod as source for reinstalled iTunes?

    Hello @ all.
    Unfortunately I had to completely reinstall my system (WinXP Pro PC) and lost my media library!
    How can I use my iPod as a source to copy all my songs and settings (incl. covers, aso) to iTunes?
    iPod: 30GBs Video iPod

    can u guys help me with that?
    Thanks very much!

    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs 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. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iGadget Windows Only

    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • How can i use my ipod mac address to find it?

    simply put, i left my ipod at work. they missplaced it, now i need to locate it... p.s. its only a 3rd gen 32 gig so its not ios 7 campatible ,icloud only works if you have the device and download cloud on to it(and icloud is turned on).....not looking for opinions just looking for options such as: how can i use my ipod mac address to find it?       i do have the mac address

    You cannot.
    If you did not set up find my pod on the iPod itself, then it cannot be tracked.
    Sorry

  • Can I use my iPod on my home computer and work computer?

    This may be a very dumb question, but can I use my iPod on my home computer and work computer? I noticed that it seems to want to do weird things to my iPod if I try to hook it up on my work computer (I have all of my music on my home computer... it is backed up 1 or 2 times a week to preserve my music). Thanks for any help.
