HT1689 Where on my iPod is iTunes "my account"?

Where can I view all my purchases including the items and the amount paid for each made from iTunes on my iPod?

On your IOS device open iTunes and at the bottom left go to more, then select "purchased" and you can choose between "movies", "tv", or "music" this will show you all of your previous purchases from iTunes. This will not show you the price of what you payed for the items but is you go to "settings" then "iTunes and App Store" then you can then sign out of your apple ID and open iTunes or the App Store and see how much a single item costs.

Where is the iPod playlist in iTunes?

Hello dear members,
I have a problem with my iTunes, could someone kindly help me please? My iPod is old. It's the 20GB black and white one from a long time ago. Recently, I bought a new laptop with Windows Vista on it, and I got iTunes version 7. It detects my iPod, and I can put songs on it, but I just don't know where the playlist is! The library playlist is there, but where is the iPod one when I plug it in? It used to show up when I had my old laptop with an old version of iTunes. When I click my ipod, it only has four options: Summary, Music, Podcasts, Contacts. No playlist. Please help!
Thank you

You can only automatically sync playlists using Windows Media Player 0 as far as I know. There's lots of other software out there that can use the Media Transfer Protocol of the Vision:M, but I'm not sure what they can do.
Creative's software is desperately lacking in the playlist sync area, so you're not being a BDU

I want to register my iPod with iTunes but the registration firm keeps asking for a postcode but there is no field to enter it, although there is an arrow showing where the error is but still no field for entry. Any suggestions how to get past this ?

Old Hard Drive Fried! How To Add Photos and Music from iPod to iTunes

Hello! I'm in serious need of some help.
My old hard drive died without any warning, so I lost everything that was on it. Luckily, my iPod is full of very important photos and all of my music.
How do I transfer these images and mp3s into iTunes on my new computer?
I've lost everything else, so the last thing I want to do is lose the only photos I have left along with the gigs and gigs of music I spent months gathering and organizing.
Please let me know the surest way to transfer these images and music files from my iPod into iTunes.
Thank you so much for your help! This event has saddened and exhausted me completely.
All the best,

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
For some additional ways to retrieve photos from an iPod try:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

How do you (or can you) play songs from your ipod on itunes?

Im trying to play my the songs on my iPod with itunes that I just installed on my friends laptop. The problem is, the place where it says Charles's (me) Laptop, the songs are all grayed out and I cant select any of them.

Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Check out the links below and make the change on your own computer before you connect it to the second one:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually
Some additional info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!

Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.

Looking for a free iPod to iTunes music transfer utility, any suggestions

Looking for a FREE utility that will allow me to transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes. I recently purchased a new notebook PC that I recently download a fgresh installation of iTunes. Now I need to transfer my music stored in my iPod to iTunes. I find many free transfer utilities on the internet that allow you to only transfer a couple of songs, not your whole iPod. Any suggested freeware utilities would be appreciated.

If you enable your iPod for disk use, you should be able to do this without utilities (unless iTunes checks for this kind of thing). See, all of your music is stored (with garbled filenames) under <D:/iPod_Control/Music/> (where "D" is your iPod). So if you use iTunes's "Add Folder to Library" on the "iPod_Control/Music" folder, it should import your iPod files.
So do this,
1. Set Windows to show hidden files and folders, if it isn't already. There are plenty of guides for this on Google.
2. Open iTunes.
3. Enable disk use on your iPod, if you haven't already.
4. Go to File > Add Folder to Library....
5. In the Open Folder dialog box, navigate to your iPod.
6. Go into the iPod_Control folder.
7. Select the Music folder. Click OK.
Note that on Windows, the iPod_Control folder (and its contents) are hidden, so you need to set Windows to show hidden files and folders.

Ipod and itunes woes

"Attempting to copy to the disk 'ipod' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
iTunes 7 on my G5 keeps giving me this error message when I transfer music to my ipod. However, if I remain persistent and continually drag and drop the perceived "trouble song" the ipod eventually accepts it. I never have had this problem before iTunes 7 and my ipod is a 30gig photo ipod. It's really frustrating since I'm trying to move 70 songs over and I have to do it one-by-one. iTunes tells me that the iPod is up-to-date. any suggestions?

i had the exact problem as you. have you tried using a different usb port? these were the steps i took:
1) reset iPod.
2) restore iPod on my laptop iTunes (because it wasn't working on my g5).
3) then i kept trying to sync the iPod with iTunes on my g5 (because that was where my main music library was), but i kept getting the message: "The disk could not be read from or written to." i was using the usb port at the front of the g5.
4) then i tried a different usb port. the first one i tried was on a usb hub. i manually added a few songs to the iPod. IT WORKED! then i switched to another usb port on the back of the g5. IT WORKED there, too!
5) so i sync'ed the iPod to iTunes on the g5. a few times during the sync, i would receive that same message: "The disk could not be read from or written to."
6) so i would safely eject the iPod, then reconnect, and re-sync all over again until the iPod was completely updated. a little bit of a pain, but at least my iPod is functioning again (after being dead for a couple of weeks.)
hope this helps.

Windows sees my iPod but iTunes doesn't (USB 2.0)

I had this problem when I got my iPod a few days ago, then when I got iTunes to see my iPod it took AGES to upload songs, and when I reconnected my iPod, iTunes said it needed to reformat it.
My PC at work speaks to my iPod just fine through it's USB ports, but is a new, high end PC with top spec components, whereas my home PC is a couple of years old, though fairly high spec though it's components may not be as good.
The conclusion I drew from that is that some older USB 2.0 ports just can't handle the capacity of information that iTunes and iPod require in order to speak to each other.
I noticed today that my PC had a Firewire port in it's soundcard at the back (yours may do too, take a look) so I went to HMV and bought a 3rd party iPod Firewire cable for £10. Now my home PC and my iPod are the best of friends, and I'm a happy bunny (which I wasn't earlier in the week).
If you are having similar problems, there is probably nothing wrong with your software or your iPod (poor thing!), its almost certainly that your USB ports just aren't up to scratch (despite the claims of Apple).
If your soundcard doesn't have a Firewire port, a PCI Firewire card will cost you about £40, unless you take the time to look around and get one a bit cheaper. This will be the answer to your prayers.
Good luck, and I hope this info will spare you some messing about.

Make sure you have the most recent version of itunes. And if you do have the most recent version of itunes. Check to make sure your ipod software is up to date. If either or is out of date it will cause itunes not to sync with the ipod.
Itunes versions should be - 5.0.1
- you can find the version by going to help and then about itunes. In the strolling box you should see version .....
Ipod software version should be 1.2
- you can check this on the ipod by going to setting and then about. scroll down and you should see the version 1.2

Music on iPod to iTunes?

I feel really stupid asking this but, is it possible to move music from an iPod onto iTunes?
The reason I'm asking this is because my Aunt has a Fifth Generation iPod and she asked me to put a few episodes of lost (Downloaded with iTunes) onto her iPod. When I try to do this a window pops up asking "Are you sure you want to enable Automatic Updating, All existing videos on "My aunt's" iPod will be replaced with videos from your iTunes Library". I click yes because she doesn't have any videos on her iPod. It's practically brand new and all that's on it are a couple songs. When I close out of the options window a window pops up "The iPod "My Aunt's iPod" is linked to another library. Do you want to change link to your library and replace all songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library" this is where I click No.
I can't seem to find a way to get any music from her iPod onto my computer where it will be safe from deletion. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

It's understandable, but yes, it's illegal. It's just as bad as making copies of a DVD you purchased, and giving them to friends. Really, it's stealing (on your friends' part).

Updated to iTunes 7 and can no longer play music off my iPod through iTunes

The title says it all. I can no longer play music from my iPod through iTunes now that I have upgraded. When I click on my iPod there is a little black lock beside where it shows the disk usage.
anyone have any ideas. I like some of the new features of this version of iTunes but it really seems to be a few steps backwards.

That little lock usually indicates that the iPod is set to autosync. In order to play iPod content through iTunes, you have to be on manual sync.
