Upgrade from Mini6 to Classic 160

Before I plug anything in, I want to find out the best way to upgrade from my Mini6 to a new Classic 160? I want to retain my library, podcast subscriptions, playlists etc. Basically I want my new iPod to mirror my old one, except with a larger library.
Any tips woudl be appreciated.....

You just need to connect your new iPod. If the songs you had on your previous iPod are still in iTunes they will load onto your new one. Follow the onscreen instructions to register and name your iPod, when that is done you'll be asked if you want it to update automatically from iTunes, choose yes if you do. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like

Discussion: backing up or restoring from my Ipod Classic 160

Recently I had a hard disk problem on my PC and had a new disk installed as H drive. I use Windows XP home edition and H is now the start up drive.
The previous hard disk remains as C drive.
I have had major problems restoring the backed up music from an external hard drive that I thought had my entire music library backed up. But apparently not so.
Anyway, right now I am satisfied that my Ipod Classic 160 has my entire music library (approx 12000 songs) on it and is working satisfactorily. (I purchased the Ipoc Classic 160 earlier this year to replace a defective Ipod Classic 120 and at that time the Itunes library synched perfectly with the new Ipod.
Similarly, when I open Itunes it shows my music library and playlists as they should be.
I have purchased a third party software (CopyTrans) with the view of restoring my Ipod and its contents and hopefully again synchronising it with Itunes.
But I am not sure the best way to go. I dread the thought of doing something that could compromise the data on my Ipod Classic 160 because it seems the only place where my entire music library is intact.
I can't explain how or why files are missing from my hard disk (H drive) or external back up (J drive).
I've contacted Apple support and they have been most helpful as far as they can be. They can't assist with advice of getting the data back from my Ipod Classic 160 and again synchronising with Itunes.
I am conscious of the old saying that a little knowledge is sometimes worse than none at all and am rather nervous about what I need to do so any advice or assistanct would be appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation

I think I know what you're trying to do, and I know how to do it, but I'm not entirely sure. if you want the songs, pictures, etc. that are on your iPod to transfer to your computer, there is a way of doing that simply through the computer its self. without buying anything. it's entirely free and legal. and then if I'm understanding correctly, you have an external hard drive that you want all of those songs on. so if I were to tell you how to take the songs from your iPod, put them on your computer, and then move them from your computer to an external hard drive, would that answer your question? because, if so, I can tell you how to do that, but if thats not the answer you're looking for, then I can't be sure exactly what the question is that you're asking. sorry, hope I can be of help..

I want to erase scratches from my ipod classic 160 GB, is there a service from Apple who can do this?

Hello,
Is their a way to erase the scratches from my ipod classic by an Apple service?
Yours sincerly

No, Apple does not offer such a service. You might try something like Brasso, but generally nothing will really remove scratches.

Tiger Upgrade from Panther - iTunes, Classic OS9 Issues

I just upgraded, doing an erase + install, from Panther to Tiger. Before upgrading I made a successful bootable copy of my PowerBook on my Fire Wire external 160 gig drive using Carbon Copy Cloner. Also, on that drive, I have a full, probably not bootable, backup of my PB from a few days before using a “sudo ditto –X –RsrcFrk {source drive} {target drive}” command that I’ve been using for years after reading about it in a Mac magazine(that is not the actual command, btw – I just don’t have it in front of me at the moment).
After the upgrade, I used Migration Assistant to bring over applications and settings. It found the cloned copy of my hard drive as another macintosh computer. One category that Migration Assistant did not bring over were Other Files that were kept on my external drive. I figured that those were just the large document files I generally keep on that external drive so as not to clutter up my smaller PowerBook drive. I have two questions that I have not been able to find exact answers to online:
*-How can I get my OS9 Classic apps working?* Now Contact is the main application I still use along with an Appleworks file or two. I see kind of conflicting information on the web as to how to install/activate OS9. Can I use the upgrade DVD for Tiger? Do I need to use my original Panther disk?
*-Can I get my iTunes Library back the way it was?* I’m big on podcasts and podcast subscriptions, and while the podcasts came over, the subscriptions did not, and what did come over is not organized well. There is no “Podcast” playlist over on the left side of the iTunes window. Also, none of my radio stations came over. I don’t have a lot of music in general, The few songs I’ve purchased from iTunes did not make it over. Non DRM stuff did make it over. Overall, I have about 6.5 gigs worth of iTunes material. Now, I don’t think I had the latest iTunes version installed in Panther – I’m not sure but I could check, I assume, by going into one of the backups.
Any advice or links to articles/advice would be much appreciated. Please let me know if I should post this on a more direct iTunes and OS9 board.
Thank you.

You will need to reinstall OS 9 to get Classic working. It isn't installed as part of OS X. If your PB cannot boot OS 9 then you will need to install the special OS 9 version that was included with the computer's original Software Restore discs. AppleWorks is a separate program from Apple and will need to be reinstalled. In order to use Classic you will need OS 9.1 or later.
You might consider re-copying all your file folders from your backups since it appears you did not do a complete migration. Here's what you need to transfer:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
For FireFox:
/Home/Library/Applications Support/FireFox

Upgrading from nano to classic on itunes

I just bought a new Classic, switching from a Nano.
First of all, everytime I connect my classic, it goes thru the whole registration routine.
I did a sync and all songs transfered from itunes lib to my classic.
Under Devices, songs on my classic are shown in light gray but I can't select them for playing.
Under my classic is another set of playlists that belong to my old nano.
What do I do to switch from my nano to my new classic on itunes?

Change the drive letter on the iPod Classic.
Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.
Under Devices, songs on my classic are shown in light gray but I can't select them for playing.
The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.

Firefox changed one pf my two email accounts to a Yahoo upgrade from my preferred Classic Yahoo

i have two Yahoo email accounts: business & personal. I installed both in Yahoo Original. This morning when I logged onto my business account, it had been upgraded to the new Yahoo, which I don't care for.

You have (1). no choice in accepting or declining the upgrade to the new e-mail and (2). you can not change back to their classic e-mail format. I received 3 notices via e-mail on my account (5/8/13 initial notice, 5/15/13 reminder notice, 6/5/13 final notice) all with a link in the e-mails to this page - http://www.att.com/latestmail which lands you on this page - http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB419290&cv=804
Applies to your Yahoo account as well.

Change hard disk from my ipod classic 160 gb

I recently upgraded to an iPod Classic 160 to hold my music collection

I would like to be able to pass my old iPod 30 on to someone who can use it. I would like to know if I reset the old iPod to its factory settings, will someone else to able to rename it, sync it with their own computer and content, and otherwise use it as their own?

Sure, Yes.
But You must do the Restore before giving it to someone else

IPod Classic 160 Gb - iTunes is SLOW and where are my Podcasts?

I just upgraded to an iPod Classic 160. I have experienced 2 problems, but not with album art.
First, iTunes is very slow. It seems to freeze for minutes at a time when performing any operations on it.
Secondly, I have a lot of Podcasts - both video and audio.
I can download them with no problem. I can see them in the contents pane in iTunes for my computer. I can play them in iTunes and I can sync them with my new iPod (apparently).
However, they do NOT show up on my iPod. The new contents screen shows No Podcasts. When I do a search for them they show up as songs and I can heard the video podcast soundtracks.
In iTunes with my iPod connected they show up under both the iTunes directory and in the iPod Directory immediately after syncing. However, if I eject and then reconnect the iPod, upon reconnection they no longer show up in iTunes in the iPod directory.
I am assuming this is a bug with either iTunes 7.4.x in the way it categorizes Podcasts or it is an OS issue with the iPod. I have the latest versions of iTunes, the latest SW and Firmware updates for the iPod and have rebooted to assure that the latest versions are the ones running.
Anyone else experience these? Anyone find solutions?
Thanks.

I'm having very similar problems.
In addition to iTunes becoming completely unusable for a few minutes (completely frozen) when I plug in to sync and recharge, the unit itself seems to periodically hang for more than a few seconds as I navigate the menu.
My podcasts disappear from my iPod classic every time I sync, whether or not I listened to them.
Every once in a while it just shuts off and requires a manual restart to come back on.
The battery seems to drain far faster than what makes sense, and all I do is listen to music. Two hours into my listening time and the battery meter says its almost a quarter drained!
At this point the thing keeps randomly rebooting for no reason when I am using it. Also, as I'm typing this, I heard the click of death from the hard drive.
One thing of note though, I noticed that I had set up LastFM with the thing when I first got it. I doubt it would cause half the issues here, but it is a variable to consider.
I have restored this device three times since it arrived. In addition, I'm finding myself restarting it at least twice if not more per day.
I have put in a request to warranty this thing. This soon after ordering it, and after all the things I've done, my experience screams that this unit is defective. Either that, or Apple is gonna need to issue a recall. I really hope it is just the former.

Hello, I would like to buy an I Pod Classic 160 GB and have heard that the volume limit in Europe has been reduced from the factory. Are the devices in the U.S.A also affected?

Volker

No, they are not. But getting round this is not that simple.
Until recently, the European Volume Limit that you're referring to affected iPods sold within the EU (European Union countries), so one purchased in the US would not be affected by this. Nor, in theory, would an iPod purchased in Norway or Russia, since neither of them are in the EU.
However, iPod Classics now sold within the UK (where I live) now appear to have an option to disable the EU Volume Limit. I would assume therefore, that this option is available on an iPod Classic bought anywhere within the EU. The firmware on an iPod Classic that can turn off the EU volume Limit is 2.0.5.
iPod Classics running earlier versions of the firmware (including 2.0.4) cannot be upgraded. I have personally seen one with 2.0.5 Mac on it in an Apple Store and the EU limit could be turned off. Check the picture from Badgorr in this thread New Option to turn off EU Volume Cap? (It's towards the bottom of the page.) However, non-Apple stores may still have older stock, so be aware of this when you go shopping.
Experience tells me that buying an iPod from outside the European Union area is not that simple and you are unlikely to manage it. Apple will not ship goods to another country. So either you travel to the US to buy one from a shop (that's a bit extravagant) or you persuade someone else to buy one and send it to you. However, not only will you have the cost of shipping, but in either case, your country's tax department will almost certainly add tax to it when it comes into the country. The service delivering it will apply the tax and charge you for doing so as well or you get charged by the customs department at the airport.

Is it possible to install a 160 GB Toshiba slim-fit HDD from an iPod Classic 2009 model into a iPod 5th Gen Late-2006 model that originally had a 30 GB Toshiba drive?

Is it possible to install a 160 GB Toshiba slim-fit HDD from an iPod Classic 2009 model into a iPod 5th Gen Late-2006 model that originally had a 30 GB Toshiba drive?
I have had my 30 GB iPod video for about 7 years, it was a gift and has served me well. Unfortunately it was in my pocket when I brushed up against a very powerful magnet which latched onto the unit and scrambled the hardware. Sad iPod icon.
I was told I probably need to replace the HD in order to get it back to working order. What I am wondering is, would I be able to replace it with a larger capacity drive so long as I got a unit that was slim enough to fit into the casing?

Have you tried resetting the PRAM? http://gigaom.com/2011/07/26/when-to-reset-your-macs-pram-and-smc/
Which Windows version are you trying to install? If I remember right, you can't use windows 8 on these older machines.
Other than that it's hard to say what could have gone wrong. I can only suggest going through the steps again carefully and making sure everything worked the way it should.
Have a look at this article too for a slighly more verbose instruction on making a drive bootable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Install-Windows-7-without-USB-or-DVD-without-upg ra/

Can we activate Classic General Ledger in ECC6.0 during upgrade from 4.6C

Dear SAP Gurus,
Greetings
My Client's technical team had upgraded their system from 4.6C to ECC6.0 and they had activated classic GL instead of New GL. And they had also activated classic withholding tax in place of Extended Withholding tax.
They are facing some error during posting of transactions (like generation of excise invoices, posting of WHT transactions, etc.) I told that it can be a reason of not activating New GL.
Is my understanding correct...?? Can we activate classic GL during upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6.0...??
In case of a new client built (with ECC6.0), can we activate the classic GL instead of the New GL..??
Does the system will work correctly in the long run if they had activated classic GL and classic WHT...??
Please clarify. Thanks in advance for your time and efforts
Regards,
Chaps
P.S. Points will be awarded for answers !!

Hi,
I think that you should read long text of OSS note 999614 carfully and you are
aware of the fact that you will have additional migration efforts in
case you need to migrate to new G/L later on.
In case you are convinced that this is the best way please feel free
to deactivate new G/L as described in note 999614.
Please make sure that you deactivate new G/L in all clients of your
new system in case there were already client copies done.
Yes this is possible and I would not automatically assume that
error during posting of transactions are due to New GL not being activated.
Note 756146 documents the issue and possible repercussions
of using Classic GL.
In the case of a new installation the new G/L accounting
is active by default in ERP. In principle, the use
of the classic GL is also possible for new customers, however,
SAP does not recommend it since this requires an additional
migration expense in later years.
Regards,
Aidan

I recently upgraded from an 80 to 160GB Classic but only some of the artwork in iTunes is synching. There was no problem with the old 80Gb classic. any suggestions?

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process. The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack. Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause. The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that. Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.
