okay, i just got my ipod hooked up via firewire and i got itunes installed how the hell do i get my songs onto my ipod? whoever helps and solves my problem gets all my credits which is like less than 30
Menu open, first tab -> Add songs to library The songs will appear in the library, if you iPod is connected properly you can see the icon in the right listing. You then select the songs you wish to put on your iPod and simply drag 'em towards the icon and drop em on the icon. Then, at the top of the screen a bar will appear which will show the transfering of the data. And that as they say is that
hmm no wonder my ipod is ----ed up its stuck at the screen that says "DO NOT DISCONNECT" i just plugged it in to charge and its STILL stuck at the same screen wtf is going on
Nothing's wrong, as long as it's connected to your pc, the 'do not disconnect' will stay on the screen. Once you unplug it disappears. The music has to be transfered using iTunes, other data by copy pasting dragging in your browser. Q: whenever it's not connected (neither plug or pc) does it work like it usually does?
ok well, it was frozen and i had to reset it even when i unplugged it, it still said 'DO NOT DISCONNECT' and it was stuck at that screen i had to search google and find a way to reset it
It must of froze, reset it buy pressing play and pause together for a few seconds until the apple logo appears it should work.
OK, I hope everything 'll work out fine from now on.. I hope so. I remember having had a few probs with mine too once I first got it. Useful little things though, I don't think I could do without it ^_^ Hardest thing is trying to find a good tool that can transfer the music from iPod to Pc, instead of browsing through those f***** up folders in the browser. @Demokata: Play & Pause = same button :huh: @Cheeky: which gen have you bought? The latest one?
i have the 3rd gen iPod with the scroll wheel and 4 buttons on top which version of iTunes do you guys have? i downloaded the latest one and when i go to 'preferences' and then 'ipod' it says that theres no ipod connected ill brb.. gonna restart my pc and see if it helps
You forgot to ejected it from your computer first before you unpluged it you probley ----td it up sorry.
Try the manual if it helps, not that I ever did, I never do, dunno why :huh: iTunes ver4.9.0.17 Just try standard procedures if it still doesn't work, completely reset your iPod, plug it in for complete recharge (I had probs when battery was low once, same kind, wouldn't import music even though 't was recharging) and try again ... Anyway, I checked and what I wrote in the first post is definitely how it's supposed to work, g'night
Cheeky you say you got a third gen? Then check out this site, Ipod Linux its lniux for your Ipod you can do so much more stuff, view pics more games, movies now I think check it out.
