Using playlists to deal with full iPod
Many apologies if this is a stupid question, but i have searched this forum and the iPod one and not found an answer.
My 40GB is full, and I'm looking for a way of doing pretty much what the shuffle does, i.e. autofill so that each time i dock it I'll get a different 40GB selection from the library. I also want all my playlists available, but not necessarily in complete form, although it would be good if my 'random' 40GB selection always included stuff added in the last month. Basically I want a random selection of my lower rated songs, equivalent to whatever amount my library is over 40GB, to drop off each time I connect.
Believe me, I wanted to use this and the fading battery as an excuse to get a new 60GB, but i'm going for the replacement battery and playlist option instead...much less fun, but cheaper!
Cheers
Jon
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

My daughter is currently using my Apple ID with her ipod touch. I will be upgrading her to an iPhone 4S and would like to use a different Apple ID and a new computer and still keep all the current music and Apps that she has now. How do I do this?
Make a new Apple ID for her.
Use it on her iPhone 4S for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one. -

Playlist Sync Issues with new iPod Touch 8G
Hi Guys - This my first post. Just got an iPod Touch 8G for Christmas, and I'm
having some issues with Syncíng it and would appreciate some guidance.
I previously used a Sony PSP as my portable music player, and so my music
is organised into folders, with a .m3u playlist for each folder.
To get the music and the playlist onto the iPod, I tried to use the followqing procedure:
1. Downloaded and installed iTunes
2. Registered my iPod and signed up for the iTunes Store
3. Added one of my folders to the iTunes Library
4. Synchronised with my iPod (I selected Manually manage music and videos)
Checked that all the songs were downloaded successfully to the iPod, and
play on the iPOD.
5. Imported the .m3u playlist into iTunes(File->Library->Import Playlist).
Checked it had all items and could play the tracks from the library.
For some reason, the tracks from the folder now appear twice in the
Library after this step.
6. Attempted to sync the playlist to the iPOD. The playlist has 249 tracks,
but for some reason the sync operation fails with error message "Attempting
to copy to the disk 'Joseph Olajubu's iPod' failed. The disk could not be
written to or read from".
The playlist is partially copied, with between 49 and 208 entries (depending on the sync attempt). Playing the songs from the ipod or creating the playlist directly on the iPOD works. Any idea what's going wrong here? I've tried this operation on 2 different computers with similar results. The iPOD has around 4.5G memroy free. Alternatively, is there software like Anapod available for the iPod Touch if this is an iTunes bug?
Thanks in advance for your helpBump

Error while using BAPIs that deals with DMS
Hi everybody,
We are developing a portal with Web Dynpro and trying to call from our java code BAPIs that deals with DMS:
BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 - to create a new DMS document and checkin an original.
CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN - to checkin an original to an existing DMS document.
CVAPI_DOC_CHECKOUT - to checkout an original from the DMS.
While using other bapi's that deals with DMS but do not deals with originals (like creating a new document, retrieving metadata about documents and originals) we don't have any problem.
Only when trying to checkin or checkout originals we get the following message (from the DMS?): RFC_START_PROGRAM
the full message is: com.sap.aii.proxi.framework.core.BaseProxiException:RFC_START_PROGRAM error key:RFC_ERROR_PROGRAM.
does anybody knows the meaning of this message?
by the way - those BAPIs works well while called from the R/3. only when we call them from the portal we have this problem.
thanks for any information, Adi.Hello,
BTW, You have BAPIs for Doc. checkin and checkout.
BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN
BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2
BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTSET
BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTSET2
Can you use these and give a try?
You have a detailed documentation maintained for these BAPIs.
Hope this helps you.

How do I use find my iPhone with a iPod Touch 3g?
l I tried using it on a friends iPod Touch, because I lost mine. I tried regestring but It didn't work, to my dismay I learned that MobileMe was closed to new subscribers. I tried doing it on iCloud, but iCloud is only for iOS 5. So how do I register findmyiPhone with a iPod Touch 3g?
Or did Apple Screw me over on this one? (Sorry, you'd be ****** to if someone stole an iPod you left on a table when you were going to the bathroom.)Sorry, but Apple didn't screw you. You screwed yourself. See, there's no point putting a lock on your door after the burglars have left.

I have purchased the nike sensor to use with my Ipod touch. I tried it on the golf course and it kept pausing after time.. I tried the different ways to work out eg basic, timed, calories...but it kept pausing after a short distance. Is this because you stop and start with golf? Is there a setting I can adjust?
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Can I use windows Me/98 with my ipod nano and I need itunes help??!!
Hey!!,
Ok so I just recieved my Ipod nano today from the post man! and I want to use it with windows Me/98 is that possible?
I also downloaded the newest version of itunes and it said that "itunes requires that your computer is running windows
2000 or windows XP".Can I use a later version of itunes with me ipod nano and where can I download it from ?!
someone please help me Im dying to use my ipod nano!!You cannot use iTunes under Windows 98/ME. For just synchronizing tracks with your iPod, you could get a third-party utility such as Anapod, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer. I haven't used any of these and I don't know if any support the new iPod nanos, so I can't make any recommendations. These applications cannot connect to the iTunes Music Store, so unless you upgrade, you won't be fully supported and will not be able to purchase tracks from the iTMS.
I strongly suggest you consider upgrading your version of Windows, though. Windows ME is no longer supported by Microsoft and it's going to get harder and harder to find applications that will work under 95/98/ME.
Hope this helps.

Using the calendar option with the iPod
Hey I don't know if this question was asked, but I seem to have this weird problem with my iPod... When I look at my calendars, every event is an hour late... In my outlook everything is fine, it's just on the iPod. I'm on windows XP and I have Outlook 2002, which means I'm still on iTunes 6.0.5.20 (the new one only worked with Outlook 2003). I'm sure the problem must be very simple, but I can't seem to find it!
... i'll warn you in advance that i'm no expert on using contacts and calendars. but is the ipod still set to daylight savings time? (or not set, whichever applies in your case?)
to check, in your Main Menu go "Settings > Date & Time > Set Time Zone". does the current setting have a DST next to it? -

}I'm not sure what you think you are doing with the set2(elem) call. You are treating a variable as if it were a method.
All you have to do is change set2(elem) to set2.contains(elem) and things would be fine. This is especially weird since you knew that for set1. -
When apple first introduced the podcast app for my iphone I discovered that installing it took away the option to have a playlist (smart playlist or regular) that mixed music, audiobooks and podcasts. I therefore quickly uninstalled it and was happy to have my iOS devices happily mixing music and podcasts.
With the push to itunes 11.1 and iOS 7 on my ipod Touch and ipad mini I no longer have mixed playlists. I do see (according to itunes) that the podcasts are copied to my devices but there doesn't seem any way to play them. Nor do my mixed format playlists contain them.
When combined with the change to the podcast tab in itunes that shows all available by default and doesn't seem to offer any way to Turn it OFF so I can easily see what new unlistened to podcasts exist it seems that the way I got used to using my itunes since my ipod nano first generation has been eliminated. I haven't read why so if someone could point me to their logic on how come I would want the changes they keep trying to force on me I would at least understand their motives.
If no one has a better fix I have discovered that I can declare the podcasts to be audiobooks and get them to play that way. One downside to that approach is that it doesn't clear them out of the podcast folder thanks to the change to the iCloud friendly format or whatever they were hoping for.And what is the wording of the error message?

So here is my delima - I want one Ipod account - because I only want one library - since we all like the same music - but my kids, who have their own IPODS, have gift cards, who want to be able to keep track of their balance without the other child affecting the balance - meaning - each gift card should be seperate and not totalled to the single account - Beacuse the library is fairly large, having three libraries of large amounts would be a waste. I would also like to restrict their purchased to the gift cards only and not my credit card on file. Does this make sense? Once this is resolved, I'm assuming they would use their own playlists to copy their favorites to each Ipod. Or would I set up an account for each child - which I dont want to do, because I dont want them having access to my Credit Card, and only gift card balances. With multiple accounts, I'm assuming that would also build seperate libraries? We also have multiple computers, but I share the library to those computers -
What is the best way? I'd like to be able to add credit to a specific child (birthdays, etc) without the other child being able to access that credit. For simplicity sake.
We are new to IPODS and lack any MAC skills.
Thoughts?Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.
