Trying to transfer a large file using new ipod touch.

I am trying to transfer a large file (17gigs)using my new ipod touch. I got a new laptop and i am trying to get some things on it. I was able to do this last time with my old ipod classic. It would let me copy/paste the file or drag it. But with the ipod touch i can not do either of those. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you very much.

    This method is exactly how I'm trying to get my music on my new iPod touch, it starts downloading but then stop and says unable to download at this time. What the **** is going on ?

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
    It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

  • Issues using new iPod Touch due to OS

    Hello all.
    I just got an iPod touch for my birthday, and upon attempting to use it, I was instructed to download and install the newest version of iTunes.
    No problem, except I cannot install the newest version of iTunes because it won't run with my current operating system.
    So, I went to download updates for my OS and I cannot install the newest versions (my machine tells me that my software is up to date when I try to use the software update tool - it's a big liar).
    I am assuming that I cannot install OSX 10.5.whatever because I am currently running Mac OSX 10.3.9!! (Old, I know)
    After hunting the apple site, and finally the web, I cannot find a download for 10.4.0 (tiger) and without it I am afraid that I can't continue to update my OS, and therefore I can't even USE my brand new iPod touch.
    Help! Please! What do I do?

    Software Update only shows you free updates.

    You can if the computer meets the requirements for it. A previous OS version isn't required for the retail package.

    Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 are paid upgrades.

  • Trying to transfer a movie file from my ipod to my pc

    I am trying to put a movie file I have saved on my ipod classic and transfer it over to my pc. Now the ipod is set up to work with my macbook so when I hook it up to the pc it wants me to reformat it. I am using the ipod as an external storage so the movie file does not come up in my itunes. I do this sometimes just to transfer large files from my macbook to my wifes macbook pro. This is the first time I am trying to use it with a pc. If I reformat the ipod for the pc I am assuming I will lose all of my music that is on the ipod right? Thanks for any help to can give me.

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The movie file is stored in a folder inside of data, when i try and delete either by dragging to trash or clicking move to trash it comes up with (The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.).
    I am just treating this file the same as anything else in finder, which is generally what i have always done.

  • INSTALLING AND USING NEW IPOD TOUCH

    Cannot install and use IPOD touch on computer. Showing up as a camera and not accepting install. Have tried uninstalling previous versions of itunes and ipod downloads. Please advise. Would like to see this work today.

    I got the same problem. I created new hotmail account, dowloaded latest itunes but the "download photos" window comes up along with my wife's itunes account which immediately SAYS it's syncing with mine yet there's still none of her tunes on my new touch (thank god), and even though it's plugged into my computer and I'm connected to the internet, it says i'm not connected. Do you NEED wi-fi to do this or what!? Maybe somone can help us out.

  • Trying to transfer old macbook files to new

    I have been searching everywhere for an answer to my problem for hours, with no luck, so please forgive me for posting a new topic about it if it really is out there somewhere.
    Here's the situation:
    I have a white 13 in MacBook from late 07, my children spilled water on it & fried the power management components, repair is $780 (quoted from Apple). Needless to say, I'm not paying that kind of $ to save my almost 4 year old mac when my husband has a 1 yr old aluminum mac that is virtually unused. I have all the data from my white mac on a WD MyBook for Mac external drive. Thankfully I was able to get it completely backed up before the power component totally failed. I didn't use Time Machine to do the backup, because it was stalling & I was worried the mac wouldn't stay powered long enough, so I used WD's Smartware backup software. My husband's aluminum mac is also backed up on the MyBook.
    How do I transfer my backup to my husband's macbook? Whenever I have tried retrieving the backup from my mac it asks if i want to overwrite my husband's mac's info. Does this mean that basically I can't merge both of our backups onto the same mac? I have tried using the Migration Assistant to transfer, but the only backup that shows up is my husbands. My backup is showing up on the WD Software and I have copied a couple of files onto my husbands macbook, but I'm not tech savvy enough to know where to copy everything manually (itunes, photos, library, etc).
    My MacBook contained all our music, photos, documents so it is imperative that I be able to transfer my info to my husbands macbook. I would appreciate and help you all can give me because I am at a loss at what to do.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I think the only way Migration Assistant can do a restore is either from Time Machine, or a clone backup, or the actual original bootable copy. If the Western Digital backup is not a clone or an Apple recognizable format, it won't work. I would contact Western Digital to verify what format the backup is in.

  • HT4527 When I tried to transfer the itunes file from my music to my ipod, it said that the ipod has stopped working or had been disconnected?

    When I tried to transfer the Itunes file to my ipod or ipad it came up with a message saying that the device had been disconnect or stopped? I tried several times but it would not copy the file accross. I am trying to transfer my whole itunes library from an old laptop to a new laptop.

    Try:

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reboot the computer

  • Transferring songs from older IPOD to new IPOd Touch

    I have an IPOd Mini and I want to transfer the songs to my new IPOd Touch. Any idea of how to accomplish this?
    Thanks

    You can't transfer content directly from your Mini to the Touch, if the songs aren't in iTunes on your computer you'll have to copy them back and load the Touch from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • New iPod Touch stuck in recovery mode during initial setup

    I am trying to set-up my daughter's new iPod touch 5th Gen. When you try to connect to iTunes message says "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes". Even when you disconnect from computer it is stuck on screen telling you to connect USB to computer.  Two of her friends also got this iPod for Christmas and are having the same problem...during initial set-up. I've tried the system updates 3 times. iTunes recognizes the device, but the computer is not recognizing it as a drive. I've tried both my Mac and my Windows PC.  I've tried hard resets.  You can't remap the drive because the device doesn't show up. Most of the apple support topics address if iTunes doesn't recognize the device in conjunction with it not being recognized by the drive.  Obviously a problem with the new update because several brand new iPod touches wouldn't be having the same problem. Please help if you've found a solution. Happy New Years! 

    See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

  • My new ipod touch shows up as a cannon camera.

    My new ipod touch shows up as a cannon camera. I cannot upload itunes to it if my windows xp cannot identify.
    Every thing was working with ipod shuffle.
    Help resolve and use new ipod touch please!

    this usually means you either have a screenshot or a saved photo, go to the photos app and make sure that there isn't a section that is titled "Saved Photos" or "Camera Roll" if there is delete the photos from this section by clicking the picture, click it when the photo goes full screen and a menu option should pop up, push the icon that looks like a trash can and press "delete photo". Now the ipod should not show as a camera in windows

    Are you referencing your Photoshop image files, or Photoshop application files?
    If the latter, cease and desist at once!
    Always install Photoshop from scratch, from the original media: CD/DVD or download.
    If the former, please provide details:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

  • Transfer of large files to and from Egnyte failing...

    One of my clients uses Egnyte for file management. For a typical job I will usually be required to download 5GB of files and upload 1.5GB.
    However, when at home, transfer of large files to and from Egnyte will often fail. (On download, Chrome gives the error message: "connection failed". Uploading, Egnyte's error message is: "HTTP error").
    I have three machines at home. Two Macs (running Yosemite and Lion) and a PC running Windows 7. I've had no luck with any of them on any browser but when using other people's broadband I have no problem at all (using my MacBook).
    I have no firewalls running. Yes, I've turned everything on-and-off-again. So that leaves me to think that the problem lies with my BT Homehub 4 router. But why would my router be botching the transfer of large files? I've switched the router's firewall off, tried adding my Mac to DMZ (whatever that is) but that seems to be the most I can do. Ethernet is no different to wireless.
    I've not noticed this porblem when using other file transfer sites (like WeTransfer).
    What's going on?
    Please help!

    From my own experience (I admin a few gaming servers and often get disconnections from them in the middle of monitoring operations) and based on other users experiences here on the forums I suspect BT have been having some core infrastructure issues which can lead to A) intermittent packet loss B) extended packet delay - both of which can cause servers to assume a 'failure' and disconnect or suspend upload/download.
    I dont know what package you are on from BT (I'm Infinity 2) << and as its Hogmany im the one that drawn the short straw to keep cheaters off out servers << so I'm a bit intoxicated and may not make total sense atm.
