Running out of time with an Ipod that needs repair...can I save my music?

Maybe I can find some assistance here. The entire reason I have an Ipod is so I wouldn't take up all of the space on my computer with music. I import it to my Ipod and then I delete from my computer. I attend college pretty far away from my hometown and thus don't have ready access to the hard copies of all the music on the Ipod.
I said all of that to say my Ipod had been acting up recently. It would stop mid song and freeze or just continually cycle through the songs without actually playing them, and if you held the thing up to your ear you could here that hum like it was about to start up followed by a strange click. Hum, click, hum, click. This is the exact same problem that I sent my first Ipod in for repair for; the one I have now is the new one they sent back to me.
Anyway, so the new one started having this problem, but it never lasted for long so I continued to work with it. Then yesterday I got the dreaded sad face ipod icon in mid song. I rushed home to look up what I could do to fix it and in my hurry tripped as I stepped inside and dropped the ipod. Weirdly enough, that brought the main menu screen back, so I quickly put it into disk mode and hooked it up to my computer.
Now my question: I know this won't last and the ipod needs repair. Is there anyway I can back up/recover the music on it so I don't lose it all? Keep in mind almost none of this music is on my computer.

Welcome to Apple Discussions. Regrets you're having these problems.
If you have a Mac, you can clone your iPod's contents to a disk image file using Carbon Copy Cloner (scroll down at the web page that this link points to).
If you have a PC, you can accomplish the same thing with one of the many third-party utilities for copying music from an iPod to a PC. You would have to search for these; I am a Mac person and hence am unfamiliar with the specific names/sites for them.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music? I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music. My other computers are no longer working. Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?

Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

NEED Help Running Out Of Time+++Q:Opening a PSD file in Illustrator Question???

Hello everyone!!! Hope everyone is staying dry and warm!!!
I have some artwork im doing for screen printing and a friend has been sending me some artwork to work on. The problem we are having is some of the artwork will open in Illustrator or CorelX4 and stay editable but then he will send me some that when I open in Illustrator it gives me this message and then will not be editable:
"""This document has greater than 8-bit depth it will be imported as an 8-bit flat composite""""
Can anyone tell us why this is happening??? I have researched this with no answers so far??? He is using PSD2 and Im usin PSD4 and Illustrator4
Please help!!!!! Running out of time for this artwork to be completed.
Thanks
Bobby

Photoshop is capable of saving files that are 16 or 32 bit depth. This has to do with the amount of colors that are accessable. The message you are seeing is telling you that it will convert the file back to 8 bit color space for you. This bit depth is talking about per channel, not over all. So a cmyk file would have 8 bits for cyan, 8 for megenta, 8 for yellow and 8 for black. Having a higher amount of bits per channel, photoshop is then capable of doing things like smoother gradients, retreiving data from raw images to produce an image that shows more highlights and shadows without the clipping and so forth.
Most basic monitors are only 8 bit, same goes for most printers. So unless you need to access the extra color depth, you should be fine in 8 bit. If you don't want to see this message, just tell your friend to send the images at 8 bit.

Recorded audio is playing back out of time with midi drums, I'm using a new avalon 737 with it too.

I am trying to record guitar over a midi drum track, its all great except the guitar plays back out of time with the drums, i have just introduced an avalon 737 compressor, it didnt used to have before.
Before the Avalon it all worked perfectly, cant figure out how the avalon would make logic play out of time, I am recording through an Apogee Duet 2.

Yeah, and it didn't work.
I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one.

Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

You also may have to place the iPod in recovery mode. For how see:

I have rented a movie on iTunes and it says I'm running out of time to watch but it is not downloading the movie can someone help

It does take some time for a movie to download, could it still be downloading ? Also the rental tab is only there when you have rented a movie. If all else fails talk to iTunes support, they have helped me in the past.

HT1338 I download Adobe Flash but it doesn't install. Each time I encounter something that needs Adobe Flash it tells me I don't have it. I am getting tired downloading it and then it isn't there.

install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg
install_flash_player_10_osx-1.dmg
install_flash_player_10_osx-2.dmg
install_flash_player_10_osx-3.dmg
install_flash_player_10_osx-4.dmg
etc to -9
Those are the ones you downloaded. Ten times, apparently. Since install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg already existed, the next download was appended with -1. The next -2, etc. They'll all be identical, so it doesn't matter which one you use. Though I'd go with the last one as it may be a slightly updated version from the first download, depending on how long ago you did the first one.
A .dmg file is a Disk Image. When you double click them, they open up a pseudo drive on the desktop. When you open one of these ten items, the Flash installer will appear in a file window. Run it to install Flash. Then close the file window (displaying from the psuedo drive) and then put the "drive" in the trash to dismount it. You can then delete all of those.
Looks like you also downloaded the Adobe Reader twice. Versions 10.1.2 and 10.1.3. Also Skype, whatever the Thomson thing is, and an unnecessary Flash uninstaller (the Flash installer will put an uninstaller in the Utilities folder).

I have a MacBook running OS 10.9 with 4GB of memory free. Can I install Yosemite?

I have a MacBook running OS 10.9 with 4GB of memory free. Can I install Yosemite?

Other things being equal, 4GB is enough to check your email and run Yosemite. If your Mac runs well with Mavericks it should run well with Yosemite.
You probably won't be happy with the performance of your Mac with Yosemite if you are planning on doing other things that are more demanding on your hardware, like Photoshop or editing video, or using virtualization software. Unless you like seeing the spinning beachball.
Other factors are important too, like your HD (SSD vs. conventional drive), how full your HD is, how fast your processor is, and if you have some types of "crapware" on your Mac, for example, CleanMyMac or MacKeeper, or other similar dubious "utilities". Or antivirus software. But that is a whole discussion in itself.
You can easily test drive Yosemite in one of two ways:
1. Make a backup of your current installation, like with Time Machine. Then if you don't like Yosemite you can restore from your backup.
2. Make a test partition on your hard drive and install Yosemite there.

Yesterday I ran Disk Utility and came up with hundreds of permissions that needed repair. I hit the "repair permissions" button and waited until it said they were repaired, but just for fun I hit the "verify permissions" button again, and they all came back! I did this several more times and every time I would hit "verify permissions" I would get the same list. What's up? I've always suspected diagnostic programs, but this is Apple's own!

Ignore them. They aren't errors. You will keep seeing the same ones. As long as you get the message "Permissions repair complete," you're OK.

Mac OS 10.6 on an Ipad? I have software that needs this - can it be run on an ipad?

Mac OS 10.6 on an Ipad? I have software that needs this - can it be run on an ipad?
Does Ipad come with this OS? Can it be installed?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you both.
I guess I'll have to buy a MAC then. I was hoping to avoid that as I've always had PC.
