Using a 2nd computer for ipod temporarily

hey guys
my main computer that my ipod/itunes is synced to is broken atm, i want to use my laptop to remove a few gig worth of files..how do i go about this?
i have a 160gig ipod full, so dont want to transfer it all to laptop
is there anyway of getting stuff off my ipod to free up space? i worked out how to add from the laptop but not how to remove
worse case scenario i would add the files to the laptop edit it then remove them again
i cant access my main computer as its broke
please help
i need to add several albums to my ipod but there is no room left

I know many people use the free app "Soundflower" to use Software instruments like Kontakt as a stand alone, and pump it back into Logic.
The main benefit here is it will use RAM Logic does not. So if you have a lot of RAM in your computer, you can access more of it this way (for software instruments, I mean).
There is a very detailed post over at Sonikmatter on how to do this

Using a 2nd Computer for Sample Playback

After a few recent projects started to choke on all the Kontakt3 instruments I was using, I'm thinking about getting a 2nd computer just to run more sampled sounds.
Anybody have any experiences/tips to report? Should I get a 2nd mac (iMac? Mini?) or a cheap PC?
Should I just route the audio normally, or use Ethernet (or something else) for machine-to-machine communication?
Or is there a way to get better performance on one computer by using Kontakt in 'standalone' mode and somehow routing it back into Logic?
Interested in other users' solutions to this situation. I've already got plenty of RAM and drive space, and I know my way around Kontakts DFD settings. But I used to use an old PC for Gigastudio, and now I'm thinking it's time to try a similar setup. What's the preferred method these days?

Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone. Does anyone know how I can get my music? I know longer own the iPad so I don't have access to it, but I don't think that should be a problem.

So you had music on the iPad that is not in iTunes and you no longer have the iPad. Is that what you are saying? If that is what you are saying, iTunes won't "recognize" anything that was on the iPad, that was not purchased from iTunes. If the music was purchased from iTunes, you should probably be able to download it again for free as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Did you try downloading the music again?
Am I understanding what it is that you want to do? If I am understanding you correctly, you will find this to be useful.

I admit that I'm a little confused by your remark about being logged into your iPad account. You should be logged into your iTunes account.

Can I use only one computer for driver development?

Hi! I'm newbie in driver development and now is first day when I make the acquaintance of driver development. There is the next phrase in MSDN in
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh706187(v=vs.85).aspx
: "For developing, debugging, and installing a kernel-mode driver, you need two computers". But I unfortunately have only one computer and I have to develop the USB Kernel Mode driver as technical assignment for admission to the job.
My computer is under Windows 7 OS and already has standard USB driver. I have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and WDK 8.1 Update on my computer. Can I use only one computer for driver development and debugging or not?

no, not really, you need two. you can use a VM as the machine under test though.

Using my new computer for my ipod music

I just bought a new computer but I have an ipod that is full of my music. How can I use my new computer as the main source for my ipod library without losing all the songs on my ipod now?

hi adugan,
for future posts you are probably better to get results from here:
iPod Discussions
but what I had to do when I got my new computer is this:
plug my iPod into my older computer( the one that is authorized with the iPod ) and dump all the songs back to iTunes ( only the ones that are not already there ). once you are SURE you have back-up'd your iPod tunes then go to next step.
start itunes and plug your iPod into your computer, when itunes prompts you to erase or delete and use this ipod on this computer, accepted it. Make sure you check to see if there is any updates for your iPod using iTunes iPod Tabs.
Hope this helps...

I have downloaded music from cd's onto my itunes on my computer, however we use the same computer for 2 iphones in our house and i cannot transfer music from the itunes on our computer to the second iphone, but its fine on the first? help?!

I have an iphone 4 and my dad has a iphone 5s, we both use the same computer to sync to itunes and add music etc and therefore share a itunes library and just add our own music to our phones, but recently i havent been able to add music that is already in the itunes library for example from a cd, onto my iphone 4, i used to be able to use the typical 'drag and drop' method but now it jut doesnt work? it still works fine for my dad oh his iphone 5s but not for me? Any ideas on how i can transfer music?

USB device not recognized by computer for iPod Touch 2G?

Connected to computer as usual, but this time the computer & iTunes do not recognize it. A message pops up from computer that USB device is not recognized and has malfunctioned. Tried turning ipod off & on, then Reset all settings - no change. iTunes had just updated so it is current. Restarted computer - no change. Then I did the major reset on the ipod that erases everything - no change. The ipod is charged and the 'connect cable to itunes' graphic shows on start up, but the computer & itunes do not recognize it. Also tried using another ipod usb cable - no change.
We've only had it 2-3 months (bought it used-about 5 months) and it has worked fine, with no problems, until today. The only change that comes to mind is the update to iTunes today.
My other son has an ipod touch 4g & it connects to the same computer, same cable & itunes without any problem. Now my youngest son's ipod (2g) is wiped clean & I cannot put any of his apps or music back on it because it is not being recognized. Any help is greatly appreciated. My youngest is so sad, its heartbreaking.

Cant authorize computer for ipod touch

I bought an ipod touch today (32 GB, 3g) and I can not authorize it. I press Authorize the masikinen and press in password and it says that the machine is authorized. But when I sync itunes with the ipod it says that I need to authorize it first.
what should I do?

Hi,
Are you using more than one Apple ID for the purchases on your PC? Try highlighting a file purchased from the iTunes Store, that is not syncing to the iPod touch, then choose> File> Get Info. Verify the Account Name on the Summary tab is the Apple ID you are authorizing the computer with.
If the issue persists after verifying the Apple ID, try removing the SC Info folder as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
