Syncing iPod with 1.1 USB

it's been about 15 hours and i'm still only on song 600 out of 6,200 to sync from my 1.1 USB PC to my video iPod. is there another way to do this (it doesn't allow me to use my Firewire to sync)? this is painful!

USB 1.1 is significantly slower than USB 2, can't remember the exact figures but I recall it's enough that I sympathise with your dilemma. Your best course of action is to purchase a USB 2 PCI card and fit it to your PC.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

    Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod.  How can I get them back on ipod??  They are showing in music library on itunes still.

    If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
    Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
    And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
    No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

  • Sync iPod with iTunes - reduce network bandwidth for iTunes music folder

    I'm using a network drive for my iTunes music folder. Average bandwidth is 50Mbps, compared to, say, an external USB HDD with hi-speed USB bandwidth of 750Mbps.
    For some reason iTunes needs to consult the files in the iTunes music folder when syncing an iPod. That is, it needs to access the music files even when there is no change and no files actually need copying from the music folder to the iPod.
    Because iTunes is reading my music files, it's really slowing down a sync.
    How do I get iTunes only to look at my music folder when there's a file to copy. Reading each file just for a sync is consuming resources and I can't see that it's necessary - iTunes knows what is in my music folder as it has the library xml file stored locally on the PC hosting iTunes.
    Anyone have any advice here ?
    Thanks.
    PS have posted this Q twice before with no replies. Hopefully yet another paraphrase to make the question more relevant with get some help from a kind soul out there.
    Here's a link to my previous post(s): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=802961

    On my Mac, if the external drive with iTunes library is not connected, it will error out and ask if I want to keep looking for the files.
    I'm using a network drive for my iTunes music folder. Average bandwidth is 50Mbps
    Why so slow? Is it wireless? What kind of connection is it?
    iTunes also wants to know if there is a file to delete or if there is a file that has changed.
    an external USB HDD with hi-speed USB bandwidth of 750Mbps
    USB 2.0 theoretical max speed is 480Mbit/s. Realistic max speed is ~60% of that.
    iTunes knows what is in my music folder as it has the library xml file stored locally on the PC hosting iTunes.
    iTunes does not use the library.xml file. It is simply created for other applications to access iTUnes library.

  • Cannot sync iPod with click wheel to iTunes...

    I cannot sync my iPod with click wheel to my iTunes on Windows. I have already attempted the five R's, multiple times, including restoring my iPod three times, and updating my iTunes software. But when I plug my iPod in, it takes forever to be recognized by iTunes, and just sits there, whizzing and clicking, with the "Do Not Disconnect" message blinking. After awhile, iTunes will download a song or two from my library, then quit. I often get a message that says my iPod is "corrupted." Help! How can I get my iTunes library back on to my iPod?

    I am having similar issues. I have received lots of advice, none of which work so far but there is lots to try here. Good luck!

  • Syncing ipod with itunes will it tranfer over song ratings?

    I just imported my itunes libary from one computer to another and lost my song ratigns and play count. If I sync my ipod with my itunes libary on my new computer will it transfer over the song ratings from the ipod to the computer, or will the computer overide the ratings on my ipod and make everything "unrated"?

    Perhaps a corrupted iPod? Why not try a restore (warning: will erase and then resync everything) and see if that clears it up?

  • Trouble Syncing iPod with Computer

    So, when I plug my iPod into my laptop, it doesn't sync with iTunes. It's as if the iPod isn't even connected at all. However, it seems like the iPod recognizes that it's connected, because it asks me if I want to "trust my computer". The computer itself also seems to recognize that the iPod is connected, because it will automatically open the pictures folder from my iPod onto my laptop screen. But, for whatever reason, iTunes doesn't sync with the iPod, it acts as if nothing has been connected. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    however when I try to sync my older ipod with it and upload some new music to it, Itunes keeps telling me that all the previous songs will be erased
    Yes, that's correct. If you don't have the songs that are currently on your iPod also in your new iTunes installation, they will be erased from the iPod if you sync it. Best to start afresh by first transferring all the music on your iPod back to your new computer/iTunes library.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
    Once all the music is safely back in your new iTunes library, you can sync your iPod as normal.

  • Syncing ipod with two different libraries, same account

    I am trying to sync my ipod with all of the old songs from my itunes account i used on our old computer that are already on it, with my new computer's library that i just set up.  I have turned on home sharing and it still won't let me sync it   I keep getting a message that I have to erase all the songs from my ipod in order to put the 11 songs i just purchased on there?  That seems weird and unnecessary!  Please help! thanks!

  • Syncing iPod with iCal

    I want to sync my iPod/30Gig with iCal. Actually, I'm using a different calendar/contact manager program called Daylite, but it won't sync directly with the iPod, so I have to export the calendar to iCal first. The problem is that when I sync, it's also syncing all my ToDo's. This wouldn't be bad, except that it syncs all the completed todos as well as the incomplete ones. I really don't know iCal or the iPod (just bought it today). Is there anyway of specifying what gets synced to the iPod from iCal?
    any other suggestions?

    I've been sorely disappointed by the same lack of functionality. The nice folks at the Apple store suggested two work-arounds:
    1) Delete any completed ToDo items
    -or-
    2) In iCal, select all in the ToDo items pane and copy (Apple-C or Edit>Copy), then paste into a new file in Text Edit. Save it to the desktop as a .txt file. In iTunes>iPod>Music prefs, make sure you have 'Enable disk use' checked. Copy the .txt file from your desktop to the Notes folder on your iPod. Once you eject/disconnect your iPod, you should find the text file under the Notes heading in your main menu (unless you haven't set Notes to display).
    It's hardly worth it, which makes me think I should ditch iCal & just keep my ToDo list in text files like I used to, but it's the only simple work-around.
    Good luck!

  • Auto-syncing ipod with itunes: how not to have it synced with whole library

    I remember a year ago when I had itunes automatically sync with my ipod, it created a playlist, something along the name of "NAME's iPOD SONGS" or something like that. And then every time i connected my ipod, it would only look into that playlist to see what's been added or removed, and so it would sync only with that folder.
    But now, it wants to sync with my whole library, which doesn't fit on my ipod. How do I make it sync with only a playlist instead?
    Thanks

    Connect your iPod to iTunes
    When it appears click on the iPod icon in the left hand pane
    Select the Music tab
    Near the top of the tab select *Sync Music* & *Selected playlists:*
    Check the playlists you want to include, uncheck those you don't
    Click Apply
