Yes, do not set it to automatic sync, and if these albums are purchases in iTunes, then you need to transfer them to your iTunes library. If you attempt to sync the device the music sync is one way, only from the library to the device. If this is music you did not purchase, but is on the iPod, you will need to get some 3rd party software to extract it from the iPod to put in the library. Touchcopy from Wide Angle Software is one choice. I have used it before and it does a lot more than music, and it works on both the Windows and Mac platforms.

  • My iPad fell off the bed. Now when I turn it on there is a red backlight and then the images come on, but they are not like before. The picture colors are distorted. Can this problem be rectified?

    Having problems with my iPad after it fell of the bed. When I turn it on there is a red backlight, then the screen comes on. Even then the page does not look right. Images are distorted and there are patches of red in the images. What does this mean? Can the problem be rectified?

    I would take it to the Apple store but some people have been having luck holding their iPad upside down and smacking it on it's back. Be careful, good luck.

  • Several years ago, I purchased hundreds of dollars worth of music.  Subsequently, the computer I used was stolen and I now have an IPOD Nano.  Isn't there a way for me to access that music I paid for and download it to the new Ipod.

    This is a question. As I previously stated, I purchased hundreds of dollars of music for my original IPOD.  It and the computer onto which I downloaded the music have been (for lack of a better term) mislocated or destroyed.  I know own an IPOD Nano.  Isn't there a way for me to retrieve the music I purchased to download onto the new IPOD.  It seems to me that since I paid for it, Itunes should have a record of it and I should still be allowed to access it for a download.

    If you are living in the US and using iTunes 10.3 or later you can use the iCloud beta program to redownload your purchases.  See this article for more details.

  • When watching a video in itunes, is there a way to zoom in on the video, i.e., to 200%?

    When watching a video in itunes, is there a way to zoom in on the video? For example, zooming to 200%?

    You should be able to click on the change themes button and go back to your original theme.  If all of the text is currently in the book then make a backup before changing back just to be on the safe side.  To do so just click on the book icon and type Command+d (Duplicate).

  • I have installed Itunes 10.5 on my PC and I have turned photostream on on my Ipad2 and Iphone.  The photos sync fine but they are not showing up on my PC.   What's the problem?

    I have installed Itunes 10.5 on my PC and I have turned photostream on on my Ipad2 and Iphone.  The photos sync fine but they are not showing up on my PC.   What's the problem?  I can see my photos on my ipad and Iphone.   I want to be able to see them on my PC when I take pictures from my Iphone and Ipad.  How do I see Photostream on my PC?

    You have to install the iCloud control panel for windows, then sign in with you apple ID, and check what you want to sync.

  • I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

    I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.  Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well.  Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day.  MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

    Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs  will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

  • When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

    When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

    Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).

  • When uploading my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto on my mac, is there a way to keep them in the albums I already have them in on my phone?

    when uploading my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto on my mac, is there a way to keep them in the albums I already have them in on my phone?

    No.  All imports go into a new Event.  How many new events are created is determined by what you set in iPhoto's General preference pane in regards to how Events are autosplit during import:

  • When you connect your itouch to itunes does it save your photos/notes from your ipod?

    My itouch recently froze, i was told the only way of saving it is to reset it to it's original settings. I have important photos & notes on there that I can't lose. When you connect your ipod to itunes does it save that information?
    Please answer this if you know the answer. I need to get this figured out.

    Unless you can connect the iPod normally to your computer and get the photo and notes to the iPod without restoring the iPod.  It sound like that can't be done.
    Just what have yout ried?
    - Resetting will not delete anything and may all connecing the iPod to your computer and geting your stuff.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Can you connect ipod nano to more than one pc wiyh no music loss....help!

    Hi, I have a iPod nano and I would like to know if you can sync the ipod to more than one pc at a time without loosing all the music on it when you connect to another pc i.e I have a pc at work and one at home and would like to us them both with the same ipod nano to download music...

    Yes long as you have it set to manual update. If you started syncing to your home PC, connect it there and rightclick it in itunes, hit options and select "Manual Update" and hit OK.
    Now you can connect it to your home and work PC and manually drag and drop songs to it. Now if your buying music on the work PC, you will also want to use windows to add the music files to the iPod, so when you get home you can add these music files to your home PC and make backups

  • When i connect ipod nano gen 5 , it used to autosync,  now nothing happens, computer is not recognizing it

    when i connect my gen 5 nano, it isnt even recognized in istore...it always autosyncd...now nothing

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
    How to reset iPod
    Since this iPod used to work with this PC, can you think of anything that might have changed with the PC since the last time you were able to successfully sync the iPod with iTunes? Perhaps you installed a new USB device such as a printer or external hard drive.  Maybe you installed some new software or updated an existing piece of software?
    Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • Unable to Connect iPod Nano to iTunes (On Main PC)

    Hello All,
    Trying to help my sister with her iPod Nano (7th Gen). When I plug this into her computer it has a popup recognising that an iPod is plugged in, but doesn't show it on the sidebar or go any further with that. ("More Info" goes to a support page where I have completed all of the steps)
    I have plugged it into my computer and its recognised right away. How can I get this to work on her computer?
    I believe the problem is on her computer and not a fault with the iPod.
    I have tried different ports, tried resetting (both PC and iPod), Factory reset iPod, reinstalling iTunes. Uninstalled drivers in Device manager and scanned for new devices etc.
    One thing which may be relevant, is that the device manager shows it as an "Unknown Device", but I can't get it to find the driver.
    Many thanks! Tom
    PS: Both PC's (Hers and mine) are running the latest verisons of iTunes. and Windows 8.1. When I plugged her iPod into my PC, I updated it to the latest firmware.
    PS2: Connectivity tests in iTunes on her pc does not find an iPod.
