iTunes / iPod

The Ipod is easily the greatest media device of the 20th century, changing the entire music and recording business. Its physical, functional design and Iconic white color is instantly known around the world.

But they still cant manage to get the chapters of all my f***in' Audio books in the correct order.  ITunes and the IOS is the most frustrating, OS ever.  Maybe I am the only one who hates Itunes, but it actually frustrated me so much that I sold my Ipod and got a straight up MP3 player. It just drove me nuts. Songs would disappear, it wouldn't drag files. artwork would get mixed up and I couldn't fix it, the meta tags and song info had issues.

Err... You could put the USB stick into your computer and then open the folder with the files on it. Select the songs, right click and choose open with iTunes

Thanks but, other way round. The tunes on in iTunes, and I want them on a USB stick.

Download a programme called "idump pro" and that takes all of your songs from your ipod and puts them onto your computer hard drive. After that then you just drag and drop (or copy and paste if that is what you prefare) from your hard drive to your usb

Thanks for that, but as I am an old codger, I'll just rip a CD.

Wondering if anyone could help me. I went to stick music on my ipod via Itunes. However, when I plug the Ipod in, it is not showing oin the screen that bit is connected, and Itunes is nor recognizing it. The laptop I am using makes the noise when you plug it in but not being recognized by Itunes, meaning I can't transfer music. I have tried resetting the Ipod, as well as trying another USB port. I plugged the Ipod in to a sound system and it recognized it okay. Anyone have any idea what I could do to solve the issue. Thanks in advance.

Is it charging while plugged into the laptop?

Also try the following;

- On the Start menu, right click Computer then properites.
- Click Device Manager.
- Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
- Click the plus (+) icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
- Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
- Click the Power Management tab.
- Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
- Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
- Restart the computer.

Uninstall Itunes and re-install it.

So is the iPod showing up in My Computer?

Or is it just iTunes that isn't recognizing it?

Not charging when plugged in.

Which one should I do first? Might one work without doing the other?

You need to uninstall it first mate, then install it again.

Thanks mate, I'll give that a go and hope for the best. Thing that is confusing me is that it is not showing up on My Computer as well but fingers crossed it will work out.

Good luck mate, if I was you I'd check the USB at a mates or something or try another one just to check its not a fault with the USB.

Uninstalled it and then reinstalled it. Plugged the iPod back in and it didn't seem to work. However, just as I was trying to navigate my way back to this thread to ask for more help, the ipod connected and I was able to transfer music again. Happy days!!! Thanks so much mate.

Also, thank you to ATK as well.

I know mate. No idea why it stopped working. Do you use an alternative? My Dad said that Windows Media Player is a lot better but I have never even tried using it.

I use VLC Player to play my media, its the best out there, highly recommend it!
Just a shame you have to use iTunes to move your music back and forth between the iPhone/Pod.

Cheers mate, I will have a wee look at it later. Unfortunately, when you buy in to an Apple product, you have to stick by their products and use their software.

For transferring music i use CopyTransManager. It is much better than iTunes.

I use VLC aswell for videos, iTunes is less than useless in that department.

Does anyone use any good safe music download sites that are not Itunes?

I used to use one called mp3fund - a russian site where the cost was about 10c per song so a lot cheaper than Itunes.

It has now shut down so are there any out there that you would recommend?

Thanks

Blast from the past.

Home Sharing.

Can you home share with an iPod mini. iOS 6.1.3

Home sharing is switched on on the PC, but I can not see any Home Sharing tab, icon, app on the iPad.

Home Sharing is switched on on the iPad iTunes account, but where the hell to I connect to my PC?

Edit: Works on iPhone, not on iPod
