Using Cd to ipod

Hello
I have not purchased an ipod yet I am thinking of buying one. I have a few questions.
1. I have music I burned on an cd that in mp3 format. Can I just download my music in the itunes music library and transfer to my ipod?
2. Or do I have to buy every peice of music from the itunes libray and download it on the ipod?
I really do not want to purchase music because I already have music on my cds. I just want transfer to the ipod without purchasing music.
Do I have to pay a subscription fee every month to use itunes music libray or a one time fee. Or is it free?
I have a gateway computer and I use windows xp home edition
Will this be problem for what I want to do?
Thanks

iTunes is free. The only cost is buying from the store. As long as all of your imported CD's are in mp3 format, they should transfer to iTunes then to iPod with no problems. Welcome to discussions!

  • I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

    I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

    How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

    Copied from the link provided.
    Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
    Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
    Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

  • I have an Apple Iphone 3G which I use as an Ipod...which has the 4.2 operating system.   I had to 'restore' it and now it won't let me download the Facebook app...says I need to upgrade to a 4.3 system.    Any help you can provide me with that?

    Hi...I am new to this site and it looks like I posted the question in the subject box...my bad.
    I have an Iphone 3G which is used as an ipod (phone service plans are too expensive).
    I had some apps on it, Facebook being one of them.   The device was goins soooo slow (not even 2G of the available 6 being used) so I did as instructed and backed it up, restored it and then put the info back into it.   When I tried to download the Facebook app...it said that I had a 4.2.1 system and needed a 4.3 something system?   Can anyone provide any help on this or am I doing something wrong?
    Thank you in advance

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
    Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

  • HT1695 I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little bit of information in the folder that came with it, all I can do is turn it on, but it just powers down after a few seconds.  How do I work this thing?

    I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on.  Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything!  Help!  What do I do to get this thing going?

    You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

  • I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend for one month to use in Europe.  How can I keep my iTunes account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?

    I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend here in the USA for one month to use on his trip to Europe.  How can I keep my iTunes content and my account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?  Also, do I need to de-register my iPod Touch for all of this to happen--and have him register my iPod Touch in his name for that month he is using it in Europe?

    The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.
    *From the article*:
    Products Affected
    iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
    No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
    I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
    Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
    Good luck,

  • Want to sync iphone to my itunes account that I use with my ipod

    I have recently purchased an iphone 4S and when i switched it on for the first time it came up with a set-up screen.  One of the options was to set it up as a new iphone (new apple ID and password) or to restore from an itunes back-up.  I would like to sync it to my itunes account that I use with my ipod but my laptop is being repaired.  Which option should I choose? - Can I set it up as new iphone (ie new apple ID) and then sync it to my itunes account later or do I need to wait and connect it to my laptop?  It wont let me do anything with the phone until I have finished the set-up..
    Thanks!

    Do not set it up with a new Apple ID. You can set up as a new phone but with your old Apple ID. Purchases are specific to an Apple ID.

  • I lost my ipod today and i tried using "find my ipod" in icloud using my friend's ipod and i found out my location services was turned off. please help. i'm desperate. i paid for it and its the 5th gen. HELP.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAASEEE HELP!!!!
    As i said up there , i have lost my ipod touch 5th generation today. worst day ever. im 14 and i paid for it with my own money. $317!! i was so proud of myself. so i went to the mall and i put it in a bag and got home and went to the park behind my friend's house. now im not sure if i brought it with me to the park (dont think so) or it fell in my friend's room after i came home from the mall. but i seriously can not find it and im REALLY sad. i have been balling my eyes out throughout the whole day and me and my five friends including my parents and my friends mom have been looking for it. i heard something about telling the police or something and they would help?? i'm not sure about that. cause why would they wanna help a 14 year old girl find an ipod touch when theres other very important matters. Even though this is SUPER important to me, it may not be to them. ik this is all my fault. mother always said "dont leave it in your back pocket" and of course i do while i skateboard. wow. im stupid. i need to gaurd that thing with my life. its very expensive. please help. this ipod is like my life. it was logged onto instagram and facebook and a bunch of social sites. yes, i have a lock on it but cant they go to a store and say "i forgot my password" and they hack into it? i changed my instagram password and apple ID password so far. but i really need to find this ipod. tomorrow im going to the park to look for it in the grass. HOPEFULLY IT IS THERE. then im going to the apple store if i dont find it. i will go to extreme measures for this ipod. ITS THE FIFTH GEN. BLUE. its beautiful. i already broke my 4th gen ipod like 2 times. but thank you for reading all this.. i need help D:

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product                               
    - iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
    There is little chance of recovering your iPod. The police will do little. It it is turned then they can contact you.

  • Can my husband use my old iPod since I have a new one?

    I got a new Nano and my husband would like to use my old iPod. How can he do this with his Mac (he currently has a Shuffle and would like to "upgrade"). Someone told me I have to connect my old one to my iTunes library and delete the music.

    Just plug it in. No need to delete anything.
    It will ask if he wants to sync to the library on his computer. Just click Yes.

  • Using an old iPod as storage for part of my iTunes Library.

    I have an old 4th Gen iPod (40gb) that needs a new battery, which I plan to have repaired. I know that i can use the iPod as a hard drive, however, as my iTunes Library has grown to a huge size (pushing 63Gb), it is taking up rather more of my MacBook Pro's Hard disk space, than I would like.
    My question is this; Is there a way that I can store part of my iTunes music on the iPod and the rest on the Macbook Pro? Then, when i needed the full library, I would simply plug in my iPod/Hard drive. Is this possible? and also, would it be as straight forward as plugging in the iPod and launching iTunes?
    Hope you can advise me.
    Cheers

    " I know that PCs don't recognise Mac stuff but, and correct me if I'm wrong, I remember something about Macs recognising PC stuff??"
    An iPod formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. There are third party helper programs to overcome that, however Macs can read Windows formatted drives so you should be able to use your old iPod as a straightforward removable drive without any problem.

  • I am on Vacations in Nicaragua and I just lost my Ipod. I did not turned on the ICloud. How can I use "Find my Ipod".? please help me?

    I am on Vacations in Nicaragua and I just lost my Ipod. I did not turned on the ICloud. How can I use "Find my Ipod".? please help me.

    You cannot use it.  You would have had to set it up on your ipod itself before you lost it.  Since you did not "turn on the icloud", then you have not set up find my ipod.
    Sorry.
    There is no way to track your ipod.
