Second way to activate the iPod in iTunes?

The only way I can activate the iPod in
iTunes ( to add/subtract content )
is to pull my iPod out of the Universal Dock
and re-insert it... ( obviously when it's charging
in pause )
Is this the only clumsy way.
There should be some sort of iPod
icon/menu selection in iTunes...
Am I miss something????'
I am running iTunes 7.0.2, 5th gen. 30g, video iPod

Have you tried closing iTunes and opening it again? That works for me when the iPod is connected to the USB port.

  • Is there any way to restore my iPod if iTunes won't recognize it?

    I bought my husband a 30 gig ipod for Christmas and gave it to him early. Last night I bought and installed a video converter so that he could watch movies on the ipod. This morning when he updated the device with a new video and tried to play it, the screen turned green with little black squares. Itunes does not recognize that the ipod is connected to the computer and I can't turn the ipod off. Is there any way to restore the ipod if Itunes won't recognize it?

    Try this, hold the middle button and the menu button for 10 seconds while it is plugged into the computer. See if it will come back to life. You may have to try this several times. Give it a try.

  • My mac book wont recognize my ipod. My Ipod will make the initial connected sound saying its charging but otherwise theres no way of finding the Ipod anywhere on the computer or Itunes.

    Hello xerxes.nashion,
    It sounds like your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your MacBook Pro.  I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

    NO.  You have to set a pass code.
    If you have an iCloud account, and if you set up Find My Phone, and if your iPod is turned on and if your iPod is connected to a WiFi network you can remotely wipe the device, or you can make it play a sound, or you can sent it a message....

  • Why are lyrics not viewable in itunes in the same way as on the ipod?

    Why are lyrics not viewable in itunes in the same way as on the ipod? In itunes all you get is "Get Info" then "Lyrics" and that screen then locks itunes until you close it. Inflexible, annoying and surely unnecessary?

    All songs need Album, Artist and title.
    Also, look under Artist -> Compilations.

  • My ipod touch 4g is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to update to iOS 5. My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics. Please help

    My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics (i.e multiple computer restarts, switching USB ports, fresh install of itunes. I've checked the forums and everything I've found has involved things that I have been unable to do involving the itunes restore. Please save my ipod from a hammer.

    You can try 2 things:
    Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
    Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.

  • Is there a way to organise the files in itunes media into playlists? i have a large playlist that i wish to add to a hard drive but i don't want to have to look up each file location separately.

    You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
    It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
    A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
    You still need a backup of that Library.
    Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

  • Fastest way to activate the camera?

    What is the fastest way to activate the camera on the iPhone 3GS? (rather than pressing the on key; going to camera app;etc).

    As to another place to click, I am in some doubt there. When I updated, it was just one of those things available and I did this in one go (as per previous post). I am not sure why this is not working in your case, but did you try powering down and then turning it back on again?
    As to the point about 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 I so not think that makes a difference.
    Ah, going straight from a locked phone to the camera? I know that one: no. And I regret this as much as you. How do you know you are going to take a spontaneous shot, eh?
    A later note on your settings and iLukeKendall's input: you both have the iPod Controls Off, while mine are ON, but the double click reveals the camera for me. Hmmmm.

  • How to copy music from the iPod to iTunes ??

    Hello,
    I use iTunes since some months and have bought several songs at iTunes. Now I also bought an iPod and copied the music from iTunes to my iPod.
    Because my harddisk was almost full I deleted most songs in my iTunes directory because I thought it is possible to copy music from the iPod to iTunes ... i.e. I thought that the music on my iPod is like a backup.
    But now I it seems impossible to copy music back to my computer. Are all those sond lost ?
    Dear experts: Is there any possibility to get my music back to my computer ?
    I hope someone can help.
    Regards
    Michael

    You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes. 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 individual 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

    The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7, look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • Problem from ejecting the iPod from iTunes

    I don't know why that when I eject the iPod from iTunes, iTunes always show the command text to reject the eject of iPod.
    The command show that "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains file that are in use by another appilcation.", so that I can't eject by this formal way.
    Therefore, I post this to find someone help me to solve the problem.
    Thank you.....!!!!

    Try ejecting it while your antispyware/antivirus software is disabled.

  • Is there a way to activate the whole application in Non Development system?

    Hi All,
    Is there a way to activate the whole application in Non Development system? Using some BRF Plus Tool.
    We copied a sample application and customized the same as per our requirement. The same is then released to Test System for testing. On Test system this application with all component is in non-active state. We re activated the application with all the component and released it to Test System. But still the application is inactive.
    Application is a of storage type system and so cannot use changeability exit to activate on test system.
    TR log shows imported with error. Below is the extract of the error:

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Is IT_FKKMAVS part of the same transport request or was it sent already earlier?
    You may have a look at the request if it was OK. Probably not.
    Maybe in the meantime more requests reached the system that now have in combination solved the problem. What is your release and support package level?
    Higher versions of BRFplus have a lot of automatic correction mechanisms built into it.
    E.g. problematic imports are collected in an import queue. As soon as a request comes in that fixes any problems the after import processing for faulty imports is automatically redone.

  • My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

    My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years  and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

    Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen.  Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system.  After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
    It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.
