Undoing ipod upgrade -please help
Hi,
we recently upgraded to Tiger and deleted the old hard drive. I didn't back up itunes library because it was all on the ipod. when I plugged the ipod in to import everything into the new itunes everything appeared to go into the itunes library so when it said ipod is linked to another library do you want to replace with this library I said yes thinking that all the sings had been migrated automatically. However it basically wiped the ipod and so i will now have to reenter all the CDs. Unless there is any where on the machine where the old library is - it is not in trash.
please please can anyone help
Thanks
doug
You could try to see if the files are still on the iPod and not over written with a data recovery program such as Data Rescue.

I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.
You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes. Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library. Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings. Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer. At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier. Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync". -

I have an iPod Classic 160GB and now it will not sync. I have restored to factory settings multiple times. It freezes during sync, gives -50 error code and says video is not supported on iPod. Please help.
This is the iPod touch forum. I requested the moderators to move your post to the iPod classic forum.

I am battling to get my Album Artwork updated in my Ipod Touch - please help?
Just a guess here, but it sounds like iTunes is under the impression that some of the song files it is managing are located on a removable drive. Do all of your songs play from iTunes? That might be hard to know if you have thousands of songs, but if a song was imported into iTunes, but the file was deleted afterward (like if you used removable media), you might get a warning like that, and the song wouldn't play in iTunes. Just a thought.

I have an ipod touch 3rd gen I am giving to my daughter, I reset it to sync it with her itunes account and now it is stuck on OS 4.2 and won't update beyond that. None of the apps that used to be on it (I tried to add them) will load due to the old version of OS. Can I force an update? Please help.
Are you sure it's a 3rd generation Touch? If it has Model No. A1288 etched into the back casing, it's a 2nd generation, not 3rd. The 2nd generation Touch cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1.
(The 3rd gen Touch has Model No. A1318 etched into the back casing.) -
Trouble with Videos on my iPod. Please Help?
Hello,
I am hoping someone out there can help me. I have what I thought was simply called an iPod Video, but I guess it now refereed to as a fifth generation iPod. When I first got it, I was excited to be able to watch videos on my iPod. When I tried to put videos on it, it told me my OS X was out of date. I had to buy OS X Tiger in order to put videos on it. That worked and I was happy. Now to advance my story to the present. I can no longer watch my videos on my iPod or even on my iTunes. When I try to sync the videos to the iPod, I get this message:
“Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video (Video Title) were not copied to the iPod (iPod Name) because they cannot be played on this iPod.”
That message makes no sense because it is an iPod video and I have watched those videos on it before. I only have five videos and all but one was downloaded from the iTunes Store. And like I said earlier, they will not even play in my iTunes window either anymore.
Can someone Please Help Me?
My Mac: PowerMac G4
OS X: 10.4.10
iTunes: 7.4.2 (4)
iPod: 60gb 1.2.1Hello,
Thank you for the reply. I had QuickTime 7.0.4 on my Mac and I just upgraded it to 7.2.0. That did the trick for allowing me to watch my videos on my computer through iTunes, but I still get the same annoying error message that will not allow me to put them on my iPod. What is really annoying is all these movies were on my iPod and then one day when I put in my iPod to sync my music, it took off the videos and gave me the above message. -

krakrjak,
For better results I'd recommend creating your own thread so the responses received focus on your issue/question.
This document explains how to recover iTunes Store purchases from your device:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
If the music on your iPod is not purchased from the iTunes Store, recovering the songs will require the use of third party software. Some links:

Sony Vaio Windows XP Media VersionOn my ipod it's black and on my pc it's bright flashes of color.
Hmmm. I think you might have two different things going on there.
For iTunes (the PC), try starting with the "Disable Direct3D acceleration" section from the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows XP and 2000 video playback performance issues
For the iPod, try the following document:

My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??
You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

I recently had an Ipod first gen with Ios 3.1.3 fixed and am in need of finding games for my son to play, but I cannot for the life of me find any games or any apps that can be installed on this Ipod! every time I download something and try to install it, Itunes keeps telling me that the app requires a newer Ios! There isn't any new Ios version for this ipod that I can find. Itunes won't install any newer version of Ios, and no new apps can be found that can be installed. Please help me.
