Upgrading from Nano to 30G

Hello, I'm new here. I was just wondering as I currently have a nano and will be upgrading to the 30g, do I need to unistall anything or can I just plug it into my computer? I already have itunes and will I have to do anything with itunes so I won't lose any songs that I already have?
Thanks for your help!

Hello Pam83,
If you have all the latest updates then just connect your new iPod. It should pretty much find what it needs on your PC and update automatically. There's no reason whatsoever that it should erase anything from iTunes but if you are worried then back up your library, that's a pretty sensible thing to do periodically anyway. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes

Need To Upgrade From Nano

My dad has the 16 GB 4th Gen Nano (without the video camera). Last night I added more music to it and it has less than 2 GB free. What would be a suitable upgrade as far as space for music? I had thought about getting the new 160 GB Classic and giving him my yr old 80 GB Classic.
I did something similar a year ago when I upgraded my mom from her 1 GB Shuffle (2nd Gen) to her 8 GB 4th Gen Nano.

Hello there,
I think the idea of giving him your 80 GB is a very generous idea. As long as he wants something that can hold more music and is OK with the iPod being a bit bigger in size and weight, then go for it. Also, instead of buying the 160 GB one, you could always purchase a refurbished 120 GB (last generation) for a much cheaper price and still have 4o GB more of space to work with.
I would give it some though and what you would really prefer and whether or not your dad is OK with a larger one as well.
Best of luck though. Hope this helps a bit.

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.

Upgrading from nano to video

I got my nano about a week after it came out with a protection plan. My question is whether I can bring it to an apple store, pay an extra $100, and get an iPod video (I bought the nano from amazon if that changes anything...)

Apple would not exchange it for you but perhaps Amazon would. Really not sure if you could get your extended warranty refunded and/or transferred. Here is a link that should work to Amazon's return policy http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/15015711/ref=brbx_c_10/002-3822571-1275267

Upgrading from Nano to 30GB

I just received at 30GB iPod. I currently have a Nano. If I just plug the new iPod into my computer, will my current iTunes go onto the new iPod?
I'm giving the Nano to the person who gave me the 30GB. He'll need to load the iTunes software on his computer. When he plugs the Nano in, will my songs still be there? I appreciate anyone's input! Thank You!

1. Yes.
2. By default, the iPod will first ask you if you want to change its home computer, and if the operator confirms this, all the music will be erased from the iPod. If you want, you can restore the iPod to erase everything on it before sending it off.

Just got a new ipod...upgraded from nano..will library transfer?

Any tips to make this a smooth transaction? Does it matter if the I-pod is named the same as thye old one? Will I be able to transfer my old library to the new ipod ?
Thanks for the help?

As Jediboy already pointed out (give him a star gosh darn it!) iTunes keeps track of individual iPods by type and serial number. So not only will the new iPod sync just fine with your existing library, but you can also set different updating preferences for each iPod. For example, on a 5th Gen 80GB iPod, you might simply choose to auto update everything if your library contains 50GB of stuff. But for a Nano, you might want to update that one with specific playlists since not everything will fit on it at once.

Change from Nano to Video

Have Windows XP Pro
Upgraded from Nano to Video, but even though I reinstalled, the features shown in Itunes seem to be still those of the Nano. There is no "enable storage device" under general, and when connect the Ipod to the computer and attempt to copy a picture into the computer, there is no folder called DCIM on the Ipod, and the one that says photos has thumbnails and a database, which cannot be opened.
Is that because it's not "enabled" for use as jump drive?
How can I enable?
The help manuals to consult from "help" in my itunes are still those for the Ipod.
How can I make Itunes recognize that I now have a video ipod? I did put the serial in when reinstalling.

when connect the Ipod to the computer and attempt to copy a picture into the computer, there is no folder called DCIM on the Ipod, and the one that says photos has thumbnails and a database, which cannot be opened.
How are you attempting to get the pix onto the iPod?
iTunes handles this and this is what the database is.
DCIM is Digital Camera IMage folder.
It is created by a digital camera, not the iPod.
There is no "enable storage device
Make sure your iPod is attached.
Open iTunes prefs -> iPod.

I have just upgraded from an iPhone 3Gs to an iPhone 5. I am trying to transfer all my content via icloud but having problems logging in - it keeps telling me the server is not responding. Nano sim hasn't yet been registered - does this affect things?

Upgraded from a nano to a touch..How do I switch/sync the new touch and get rid of the nano?

Upgraded from a nano to a touch. How to I switch the two on my computer to erase the nano, and use only the touch. I dont want it to think it belongs to someone else. But I dont want to start all over and lose the music. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just sync the media from your iTunes library to the iPod touch.
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
On the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Syncing your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions.

Upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 won't sync to 5G iPod Nano

I recently had my PC upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. Prior to the upgrade, all my Apple devices interfaced well with iTunes (11.0). After the upgrade occured, I reinstalled iTunes (11.0.1.12), imported my iTunes library file and synchronized with all my devices. All of them synced (iPhone 4 (work), iPhone 5 (personal), iPad 2), except my 5G iPod Nano. It causes iTunes to freeze as soon as it is recognized. Becuase it freezes immediately, I am unable to restore the iPod or change to mamage my music manually. The OS upgrade took place about 6 weeks ago and I would like to resync my iPod and change out some of my music. Any help would be appreciated.

HT1199 I-pod no longer reconised by computer since downloaging the latest upgrade from i-tunes?

Ipod no longer reconised by computer since downloading the lastest upgrade from i tunes.

Same here.
I have tried all the repeated reccomendations I've found in other posts.
Nothing has worked.
I have tried installing older versions of ITunes also...will not recognize my library so it will not start up. Have tried rebuilding it. Not working....
One thing that did work was resetting my Ipod nano...now all I have is the message "Please use Itunes to sync music to this Ipod." :/

Upgrading from 10.3.9 to Leopard

I have an iMac OS X version 10.3.9. This is a Power PC G4 flat panel iMac
I just bought Mac OS X Leopard so I can upgrade in order to use a new Nano, but when I put the installation disc in nothing happens and then the disc eventually just self-ejects. Any ideas?

Besides making sure that you have the system requirements you need to know that you cannot do an upgrade from 10.3.9 to Leopard by using the upgrade option it is made for upgrading Tiger.
You need to do an archive and install.
Insert the disk and choose restart from the apple menu.
When the computer makes the startup sound, hold down on the letter "c" until the apple appears on the screen.
The computer will start to the install disk and you need to proceed until you get to the destination screen.
In the destination screen select the hard drive volume and then select the options button.
You will be presented with several options.
Choose to do an archive and install preserving user and network settings.
If errors are found on the internal hard drive the installer will only present you with the option to erase and install.
Only erase and install if you are willing to lose everything on the drive.
If it will not let you archive and install - stop and restart the computer and save whatever you don't want to lose from your hard drive.
If you need help finding how to back up various files like emails, bookmarks, address book contacts, etc. the call applecare.
Apple offers 90 days of phone support with the Leopard purchase - take advantage of the offer.

I'm thinking of upgrading from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this? What are the implications / consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware?

I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. I know, I'm years behind, but it has become a necessity. My Mac is becoming slow and is incompatible with many softwares and websites. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this upgrade? What are the implications and/or consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware? Are there any precautions I should take before the installation? I have read some posts about Macs slowing right down after installing Yosemite. Any insights and information (in layman's terms please!) would be very useful. Thanks.

Huge thanks for your response Michel. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have done as you suggested, the details are pasted below. Clearly there are some applications I need to remove and no doubt my HD could do with a 'spring clean'. My Mac 'Safe Booted' when I turned it on this morning.
I use many different softwares, some web-based. The decision to upgrade to OSX Yosemite is because I was unable to attend a Webinar this week using GoToMeeting downloadable software. GoToMeeting have upgraded their system and my OS is no longer supported. Other websites like VImeo no longer support my version of Safari. I tend to use Chrome if Safari isn't compatible.
Problem description:
I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. However I have noticed that my MacBook Pro becoming ‘slow’ over the last 3 weeks and therefore might have some issues that need to be resolved before I even consider installing OSX Yosemite. Over the last week my Mac has Safe Booted on three occasions, so clearly there’s a ‘glitch’ occurring.

Just upgraded from Illustrator cs5 to cs6 WIN (not cloud) and all my fonts did not transfer..only have Myriad.

can someone please guide me to find my fonts...using Windows 7 and all are in my font folder in control panel and were just fine in CS5 but when i just upgraded from Illustrator cs5 to cs6 WIN (not cloud) and all my fonts did not transfer..only have Myriad. thanks

To confirm, al songs are already in your iTunes library of current computer, and they all play using iTunes (on the computer)?
And you are saying all the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to the nano without any problems? But NONE of the other songs (that are NOT from the iTunes Store) can be synced to the nano, or SOME of them?
