This may be a stupid question, but....

So, once the media gets put on the iPod (music, movies, whatever)
That's it, right? Dead End? You can't load it back into iTunes? or transfer it to another computer... right?
Here's why I'm asking. I just spent a week ripping all of my cd's onto my new iPod (Xmas gift) and would not necessarily want to keep all of those tunes in my iTunes folder on the computer. So, all the music is on the iPod, but the iTunes library is empty. If I wanted to put a song back into iTunes from my iPod, could I do that?
Thanks in advance for any help.

There are software on the market that does this (Anyone?), but if you have iTunes on manual update and then connect your iPod you will be ok. You can go to "My computer" and "Tools". Then allow for hidden files to be shown. When you connect your iPod you will have this as an external drive and you can copy the files to your computer and then pick them up by iTunes. However it is very IMPORTANT that you did not leave it on automatic update. Then you will loose everything on your iPod when connecting it. The best thing to do if you do not have enough space on your computer is to buy an external hardrive that you can connect through the USB. This is fairly low priced these days and you will have your music and videos even if your computer breaks down.
Regards,
Trond

    From you description, it sounds like you were using "1-click" to purchase & somehow switched to "shopping cart" for your purchases. If you want to go back to 1-click, go to your iTunes preference>store tab, the top section of the store tab is where you indicate which method you want to use to purchase your music.

I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ipod still work with it??? Or would his ITunes just see my IPod? Or does his Ipod ID change to my ID?
    Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??
    Thanks!

  • This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
    Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

  • This may be a silly question but how do I get my music from my old ipod to the Ipod touch. when I go to move my music a error pops up saying your music wasn't copied to this ipod because it can not be played on this ipod.  what can I do??

    You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

    This may seem a silly question, but how can I create a new mailbox on my iPad?

    A new mailbox/folder - you can't, not yet. If you're using an IMAP mail account, you can create a mailbox on the server (either through webmail or desktop mail) and it'll appear on the iPad.
    We've been told the upcoming iOS5 will allow you to do so (I assume, provided you have IMAP).

  • This is a really stupid question but...

    I am a beginer with Motion and on one of my open projects my Utility Window has dissapeared. I've tried brigning it back by pressing command 1, F1, F2, F3, etc and bringing up all the different window layouts....
    ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! I have no idea where it's gone or how to bring it back???

    Well, it's not a stupid question, because you haven't posted it as a question... (It's just listed as a topic - you were given the option to mark it as a question when you originally posted it).

  • This may be a silly question, but I need help!

    I have DSL internet at work, and much slower internet at home. I have been buying and download music from iTunes at home, but it takes so long to download. I'd like to do it at work if possible. If I do this, will I still be able to pull up the music at my home? Or, will I have two separate libraries?
    Let me know what to do and if it's possible!
    Thanks!

    Tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store will only be downloadable to one computer, so you'll have to copy them from your work system and take them home and copy them onto your computer there. This should help:
    iTunes 4: How to copy music between authorized computers
    And if you happen to also own an iPod:
    How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    Once you've copied the tracks to your home computer, you'll just need to authorize it (just play any of the tracks and it should ask for your iTMS account ID and password) and you should be in business.

  • This may be a dumb question but...

    I need some help. I have just about filled my hard drive on my computer up. I have an external hard drive that I would like to put iTunes and all of my music "stuff" on. However, I can not for the life of me figure out how to do this. Can someone please explain how to do it. And hopefully pretty basically because I am good with computers but not the best!
    Thank you for your help!

    hey maybe you can try consolidating your library...first to your pc and then to your external...u can find that in the itunes menu..
    hope this will work
    good luck!

  • I have Safari 5.1.10 and want to get the newer version.  This may be a dumb question, but do I have to pay to get an upgrade, or is this just a software update.  I am not very technical.  Please advise!

    I have a Mac OS X, version 10.6.8, and I am using safari 5.1.10.  I think I need to get a newer version of Safari if this is possible.
    How do I go about doing this?  Do I have to purchase a different "safari" product? 
    I'm obviously not very technical, and don't know how to proceed!  The reason I want to change this is because
    I keep getting messages saying that my web brower (isn't that what safari is?) is out of date.  Please advise!

    For you it requires an upgrade of OS X. Since you have 10.6.8 installed you can upgrade directly to Yosemite for free provided your hardware meets the requirements:
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Now there is an issue on Apple's server that seems to keep users with 10.6.8 from downloading Yosemite. Apple is working on the problem, so be patient and keep trying

  • This might be a stupid question but....

    Is the Mac Mini with the 9400M video card powerful enough to run final cut studio? I'm using the previous model mac mini to use FCE but I'd really like to get into learning the programs in final cut studio but I dont have the money to spend on the iMac or the Macbook Pro.

    * ATI or NVIDIA graphics processor (integrated Intel graphics processors not supported)
    * 128MB of VRAM
    * Display with 1280-by-800 resolution or higher
    * Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later
    * QuickTime 7.6 or later
    * DVD drive for installation
    Available Disk Space
    * 4GB of disk space required for applications
    * 46GB of disk space required for optional content:
    - 9GB for DVD Studio Pro content

  • This may be a dumb question but is there an upgrade to RH 9 for Word?

    We bought RH for windows in 2012.  It came with the HTML version 9 and Robo Help for Word 8...which must have been upgraded in the background to RH 9 for Word, because that is what is now showing in "About RoboHelp" and that is not what was originally showing.  Is there a RH for Word 10?  We have two projects that will not convert nicely to HTML, lost a ton of external links, so for those I have to stick to RH for Word.  If there is a 10 we might be interested in getting so I can use Word 10.

    Rh9 did not ship with Rh for Word 8. The numbers have always matched.
    Rh9 shipped with RoboHelp for Word 9. Rh10 shipped with RoboHelp for Word 10. Those numbers relate to the Rh version by the way so it's not clear what you mean when you refer at the end to Word 10. Do you mean Word 2010.
    There were very few changes other than Word version compatability.
    As Rh11 stopped shipping with RoboHelp for Word, you may have to bite the bullet and find out why the external links break. I wonder if creating a CHM from RoboHelp for Word and then reverse engineering that into Rh HTML might work? See Reverse Engineering on my site.

  • I know this might be a stupid question but would I have my data removed after upgrading my iMac (2012) to OSX Mavericks from my current version? (OSX mountain lion)

    I do not have any CD ROM or hard disk for saving my data in my mac. Would it be safe for me to directly upgrade to osx Mavericks? Sorry for my poor english btw

    You are an accident waiting to happen!!!!!  Backing up data
    is extremely important as anything may happen at any time.
    Relying on a single electronic copy of your data is not a good
    idea at all!!
    Now of course, if all your data on your computer has absolutely
    no meaning to you, then there is no need to backup.

  • I know this may be a lame question, but can I use Thunderbird with my Chrome browser and gmail account?

    I don't presently have firefox browser and have been very comfortable with Chrome for years now; can I use Thunderbird with my Chrome browser? I want to manage a large mailing list for a non-profit group that wants me to use Thunderbird.
    thank you,

    If you got someone else email than that's a BIG error and it has nothing to do with whatever client you are using. You send your credentials to gmail and they connected to another account, not even Google would like to do that.
    Either you send the wrong credentials and then you happend to have the same password as this other account. Try using webmail on that account.
    Change your password!!! If you can access that account he/she can access yours.
