Using iPod Classic with IPad?

Hello all! I hope this doesn't confuse some. Is it possible to directly connect and iPod classic to an iPad and use the stuff in the iPod to watch on the iPad?
For example; I have lots of movies in my iPod, is it possible to somehow connect my iPod to my iPad and watch the movies on my iPad?
I know some 3rd party cables and/or adapters will be needed...I just want to know if it can be done.
Thank you!

No, it will not work the way you describe. You can connect both to the computer and use iTunes, assuming the movies were purchased from iTunes.

Using iPod Classic with Real Player

I recently received an 80GB iPod Classic. This is my first portable media player. I have purchased music from the Real Store using RealPlayer. This music is rights protected, and I do have the proper rights to use the downloads. In Real Player, these music downloads come with a .rax suffix, instead of .mp3. Can anyone tell me how to set up my system to play my Real Store purchases on my new iPod? Everything I've read leads me to believe it can be done, but I've tried the recommendations on the Real Support site, to no avail. I would really appreciate any insight.

Really? My general impression is that all copy protection is proprietry and, as far as the end user is concerned, is just a bad thing. iTunes can't read WMA protected content, Window Media Player can't read iTunes protected content. RealMedia just extentds the compatability headache. Media Players will generally cope with only one form of protected content.
I don't have any practial experience with the Real protected format, but the usual workaround for this is to burn your protected content out to CD, assuming you have the necessary rights, then import in an unprotected format. There will be a small loss of quality due to the re-encoding but this should be minimal. There are also programs that can speed up this process for some formats by virtualising the CD and automating the intermediate stages.

Is it possible to use iPod Classic with OSX 10.3?

I bought my dad an iPod classic for Christmas and it was a perfect gift cause he has tons of music and just my old 3rd Gen. ipod to use. He clearly needed an update. The problem is that he uses my old iMac G4 that is running OSX 10.3. Is there anyway that i can get this iPod to work with 10.3 or do i have to spend more money to upgrade to tiger? any help is great, thanks so much!

Joseph,
The system requirements for the iPod classic include Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later. You can upgrade to Tiger or if your dad's computer will support it, you can get Leopard.
Hope this helps you.

Using ipod Classic with OS X 10.3

Have just bought an ipod classic for a friend who has OS X 10.3. Have just noticed that the minimum spec is OS X 10.4. Are there any workarounds so that he can use the ipod till he upgrades his OS?

http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=228265
Basically, what that is saying is you first need to format the iPod on a computer that has the correct OS and iTunes, then your friend can use a 3rd party iPod manager such as Yamipod.
He will need to do that because iTunes won't recognize the Classic under 10.3.

Using IPod Classic with Monitor Audio IDECK

This past year I have purchased an 80G IPod as well as an IDECK from Monitor Audio. I have been unable to get my IPod to play on this system yet my wife's old 20G IPod does work on it. According to the paperwork with the IDECK, my IPod needs to have a version of 2.2 or greater. Mine only show a version of 1.2.1. How do I upgrade the version to 2.2 or greater? I have been unable to find any downloads that will do this.

You can't get software version 2.2 for your Classic because it doesn't exist.
It's referring to software for older iPods, not the Classic.
There have been many, many reports on this forum and others about the fact that the new iPod Classic will not work with existing 3rd party docks, and it seems that this is the case with the iDeck.
You should contact Monitor Audio and ask when they plan to make their deck compatible with the new iPods.

I have an old iPod Classic with 80 GB (I think) of space. I saved all my songs in an external hard drive, but the iTunes library resided in an old computer (no longer working). Can I get the libray from my iPod and use it in my new computer (Windows)?

How can I sync my iPod classic with iTunes if I only have an iPad?

How can I sync my iPod classic with iTunes if I only have an iPad?
I recently downloaded music on my iPad via iTunes, but I can't get it to my iPod. Any help?

You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.

What version of iTunes should I use for my 160gb iPod classic with a 2.0.1 software?

I have a 160gb iPod classic with a 2.0.1 software. I just had my laptop fixed and I downloaded the new iTunes but I can't sync my iPod. I think this is because it's not compatible with each other (am i right?) Well, anyway, I need to know what verstion of iTunes to use so that I can sync again on my iPod. Thank you!

hi PT the devil advocate,
The first reason why I'm suggesting this is because of the first question ask in this post;
sphericalcamel wrote:
I updated iTunes to whatever is current through software update, but when I tried to run it I was informed that it needed 10.4.9 to run (and for some reason software update didn't pick up that requirement).
The second reason, is because you will not receive full support on older software version. Like said above, you cannot buy song with an older iTunes version.
Beside, I said in a previous reply of this post that this is my personal preference to keep software up-to-date and that _I do understand_ that other person could prefer to stick with software version that have been proven to work well and not update. Having say this, I do not beleive that you need to play the devil's advocate here.
Nevertheless, this is normally suggested to keep software up-to-date in order to prevent either security issue (lot of updates are for improving security) and also for bugs issue. I'm not suggesting to buy Leopard here. I'm only saying that 10.4.2 is out-dated by 9 version which are free upgrade and that at version 11, 10.4 should be quite mature now for all computer.
For me, based on this, I do not see any reason why someone should not be running previous version than 10.4.11. If there is sleeping bugs running 10.4.3 and not 10.4.2, I'm suggesting to adress this issue instead because _there must be a solution to this_.
In order to solve the issue, I'm just suggesting to post it on Tiger forum.

I could use Ipod Classic (30g) controls with connection to Highlander (adapter plug into JBL single CD player), but cannot with new 160g Ipod Classic. What gives?

Charge it up fully. Toggle the hold switch. Try getting into diagnostics mode again. See Corrupt iPod classic.

Nope, I'm sorry. iOS/iTunes only (you need a connection to your network, and the iPod classic doesn't have network capabilities).

"It" being the iPod Classic I assume.
The iPod Classic does not have Bluetooth.
If the Bose wireless function is Bluetooth, then you could by a Bluetooth transmitter, designed for the Apple 30-pin dock connector. That takes the output from the iPod and sends it via Bluetooth. Power for the transmitter is taken from the iPod.

How to connect 2 iPod classics with bluetooth

I am trying to sync photos between 2 iPod classics, iPad4 and iphone 5 with blue tooth. The only devices that are seeing each other is the iPhone and iPad but still hasn't' synced the photos. Why re the apple devices not able to see each other?

Havilah Farm wrote:

Because that's the way Apple have designed it. They have used a particular Bluetooth protocol that is designed to allow audio to be transmitted to Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth speakers (for example) and some peer-to-peer gaming between the devices, but not the transfer of files.
To transfer photos, Sync them via your iTunes programme. If you took the photos on the device, transfer them to your computer first and then Sync them with the other devices. For photos that were not taken on the device, they presumably were Synced from your computer originally, so simply Sync them to your other devices from the computer.
By the way, your subject question: "how to connect two iPod Classics with Bluetooth"...
You cannot. The Classic does not have Bluetooth.

How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID?

How can I authorize an iPod Classic with my own Apple ID? It belonged to someone else so presumably it has been authorized with another id. Your help and answers are much appreciated.

To make sure the file system is closed properly iPod classics should be ejected from the iTunes interface, or if iTunes isn't running, using the "Safely remove hardware" tool. That message is a standard warning. If the device shows up in iTunes you can configure the selection of media content that you want to sync to it and press the sync button to start the process. iTunes may spend quite a long time "thinking" before any tracks are copied over.
If you think there might be something wrong with the device itself see Corrupt iPod classic for some troubleshooting tips.
