Traveling with ipod 60 for music and photos

hello, so here is the deal: i just bought an ipod 6o gb photo so i could listen to music and download photos off my digital camera when i am traveling in south east asia for the next 5 or so months. problem #1: i have an older ibm thinkpad with windows xp and i am reading horror stories of trying to get my music put onto the ipod. i can deal with that problem by using my friends apple computer to put music on, but then am i going to be able to pull my photos off my ipod and put them on my computer after the trip. any help would be appreciated, thanks eric

I have a similar travel situation, but different question. I, too, am traveling for 6 or more months throughout the east with a 60GB ipod & camera setup. I'm wondering if anyone has experience w/being able to take your music collection on a portable harddrive, and using a computer in various internet cafes to create new playlists or edit your itunes library and re-sync your ipod? I'm trying to avoid carrying my laptop along w/me, but still have the flexibility of editing the music & audiobook content on my ipod. Can itunes be installed on the harddrive, so that it can be opened from any computer, or does itunes have to be installed directly on the computer that I may be using at an internet cafe? If so, has anyone found luck w/having the on-site person allow you to install itunes on their workstations? Any suggestions?

  • I have a  Classic Ipod used for music and photos. When I downloaded latest version of Itunes, the photo facility seems to have disappeared, Why?

    I have used my Apple Classic Ipod for music and photo storeage/playback. When prompted to download a new versionof Itunes (11.1.0) I did so but cannot now locate any facility for removing/adding photos. Is this a deliberate action on the part of the programmers or a mistake. What can i do to recover the siutation?

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • Just updated 10.5 now has location service and others-IOS-ICLOUD etc.  If I hit agree will there be charges I can't find a straight answer. Now I just use my 3 gen. IPOD touch for music and photos. Thanks to all. Tom

    The ipod touch wants me to chose or decline these new features. They sound good but I don't want to get any extra charges. Now use for music and phjotos only. Don't want to decline if these are worth while.  Thanks to all.  Tom  Toucch is 3 gen

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

    Hi Craig
    Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
    You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

  • Can i use the time capsule as just an external hard drive for music or does it have to be used soley as a backe up?? im thinking for music and photos

    Hello friends.. I have a similar question, in that I would like to purchase the 2TB TC for use as a NAS device, in addition to taking advantage of the Air Port extreme.. Then I could dump my Linksys router.
    I was originally looking at a Synology NAS solution, but the TC seems like it can meet my needs.
    I have a Synology NAS as well as the Time Capsule.  If you look at the 3.2 beta program, the Synology actually attempts to replicate TC functionality in that you can use it with Time Machine on your Mac.
    I must say, Airport on the TC is definitely a nice feature!

    In addition to the obvious feature of the backup, can I indeed also use the TC as a NAS drive to access from remote locations (example from the office)?
    I'm surprised more people aren't using the TC as a dedicated NAS deviced.. I've searched high and low on forums around the web, and don't seem to see many people trying to use it as I've outlined.
    I can't see why this wouldn't fufill my needs, and take the place of a separate NAS solution (like the Synology, or iOmega, Seagate, etc....)
    Has anyone used this TC as such?
    Yes, you can do this and it's something I've been trying to do, but I'm currently having issues.  I have another thread stating I consistently get "connection failed" messages.  I'm basically storing my music/photo/video files on the TC and keeping my Mac hard drive fairly lean.  In terms of NAS functionality, the TC is very basic.  Synology/QNAP and others have a lot more features so don't rule them out.

  • IPod touch for music and an IPad for everything else

    I have an IIPod touch with my music on it.  I'm interested in purchasing an IPad to use for my photos, books, surfing the net, etc. Can I sync an IPad and put everything on it but music?
    I'm syncing from an IMac.
    Regards,  Jim

    As far as I know, yeah. you set up what is go to on each device. I have the same set up, iTouch and iPad, only I have a PC. and I have different content on each device. Just name each one differently and there should be no issue.
    Some touch apps will work on the iPad, only unless they're 'dual apps' (as denoted with the + sign by their name in the app store) they'll just be tiny on the screen, but should still work just fine.

  • New Time Capsule set up for Music and Photo sharing

    I have set up a new 3TB Time Capsule for my house.  I have an AE wired to extend the network.  The users on the network have various Mac OS's but all are 10.x and we also use iPhones (3, 4, 5, and 6's).
    I would like to set up the TC to share all the photos and music I currently have on my MacBook Pro (mid 2012 13 inch, 2.9 GHz i7).  I have iPhoto 9.6 and iTunes 12.0.1.26).  There are about 60,000 photos and about 1,000 songs.
    Thanks for your help.

    Don't do it.. !!
    Apple says specifically don't put your iphoto library on the TC.
    And I quote.
    iphoto network no no.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
    It's recommended that you store your iPhoto library on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing your iPhoto library on a network share can lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss.

    The TC has no media smarts at all.. none.. it is completely dumb stupid hard disk in a router.
    If you put libraries on the TC apart from being slow.. because all files must be transferred via the Mac running itunes you then have no backup and no way to backup your files.
    Get a large external drive or get a proper NAS with built in iTunes server. (although exactly how well they work I am not sure).
    You still should not put your main iphoto library on the NAS but you can put a copy.

  • I found an old iPod classic of mine.  It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro.  How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer?  When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

    I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone.  I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer.  Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer.  I don't want to do that.  I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes.  Any help?  Thanks!
