Using my old ipod, please help!

i have a ipod nano, and used to have a ipod mini. i wanted to update some of the songs on the ipod mini, but because the memory isnt as good as the nano, it says "cannot be updated beacuse all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exsist"!
and now all my old songs from the ipod mini have been wiped off, how can i get some of them back on???

Have a look at this user tip, it should solve your problem: Hudgie - iPod cannot sync because one or more playlists are missing

    When I plug my iPod into the computer, itunes won't come up on the screen and my iPod is not recognized anymore and it use to be. Please help because I can't sync it at all because it won't show up as a device on the right hand side of itunes.

    Try
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with              
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • 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.

  • Using an old iPod as a mass storage device...

    Hey there!
    So, here's my dilema:
    My (almost-3-year-old) iBook died on me 4 weeks ago. The logic board bit the dust and it's not covered by that 3 year logic board replacement program that Apple set up. So they (official Apple service centre here in London) want to charge me £728.50 to replace the logic board when a brand new MacBook would cost me £740.00. (If I could afford to fix the logic board I'd just buy a new MacBook!!!)
    Anyways, that gripe is going into another forum...
    Sooooooo.... I have an old Version 3 iPod that I want to use as a mass storage device but in a PC-based environment. So, if I re-format it for PC is it recogniseable/useable with Macs as a storage device still?
    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??
    So here's an example:
    * I want to reformat my old V3 iPod into a Windows environment.
    * I then want to take my newly re-formatted V3 iPod (set for disk use only) and use it to back up stuff (files, documents, MP3s) from my old, broken iBook (take it from the hard drive).
    * Then I want to take those files, documents and MP3s and put them onto a new, Windows-based laptop (which I am yet to aquire).
    Is this do-able?
    Thanks peoples!

    Hi jclarke64, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone 4s was lost, and glad that you were able to upgrade. 
    If your iPhone 4s was backed up to iCloud or using iTunes, you can restore the backed up data to your new phone. 
    See the steps in this article for help with restoring from a backup:

  • Just bought a new iPod touch 16G - I think it's a 5th gen. - I used my old iPod to record rehearsals.  The new one is stating that my Belken mic is not compatible.  Can I record with this new one?  If so, what do I need for a mic?

    Just bought a new iPod Touch 16G - (I think it's a 5th gen.).   I used my old iPod to record music rehearsals.  This new iPod is stating that my old Belken mic (with new adaptor) is not compatible.  Does this new iPod Touch have ability to record audio?     If so, what do I need for a mic??

    Thanks very much!   I found the app, tested it, and it sounds fairly lifelike.    Big help!!

  • You have 2 ipods, please help

    Hi, I have just bought another ipod, I have now a 60GB video ipod and a new 8GB ipod. Does it pose any problem when synchronising ? Can they have different names ? Thks

    You can name your iPod whatever you like. If you are connecting a second iPod for your own use, just connect it to your computer and it will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually.
    When using a small capacity iPod like the Nano with a large library, you can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - All songs and Playlists in iTunes 7). This would allow you to create a playlist specifically for your Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod Nano (around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB). You can read more about playlists at these links:

  • 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.
