I store all my music on an external hard drive.....so when my computer went up.....I still had all the music there....reloaded iTunes on the new computer (although I did lose playlists, etc....but not any of the actual songs, videos or photos) and I was back up and running with not too much time spent......

There is a way to transfer your songs from the old computer to your new computer. I did this successfully a few months ago. I am fairly technically inept, but I was able to do it following Apple's instructions (see link at end of this post). It was a little bit of an ordeal, as I had to use my iPod as an external hard disk to move all my stuff over. However, if you follow the instructions from Apple's help link, you should be able to do it too. Good luck!http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329

My songs were all still there when I replaced my battery. I think they should be fine as long as the hard drive is ok, but I'm no iPod expert.

I had 2000 songs,350 photos and over 100 apps and did not even touch the memory on the 64 gb ipod touch it all depends on how much GB any electronic has that is the memory that holds the information on the system I do not know anything about an ipod classic so I can not tell you if it is better to keep your classic the only other one I had was a nano and the 5th generation to me was the better of the two. I can test on this ipod and do everything that a cell phone can do and also do what a tablet can do. I am partign with mine only because I need th emoney to pay an unexpected emergency bill. I would never part with it.

I realize you asked this question awhile ago, but I've been having this problem. Certain songs for some reason suddenly disappear. This has happened more than one time. Also I've had a couple of songs on a second disc from a two-disc set not show up under the Artist name, but it will show up under Albums. The disappearing songs is really making me crazy, because I'm constantly re-syncing the same songs to the walkman. Please let me know if you figured out what the problem is.

If you're talking about from one drive to another. Copy works. No need for special tools. But, consider exporting your important playlists to the XML format (under File maybe on windows? not sure). that way when you move things you can re-import them and not lose anything.There is a technote on Apple's site about moving windows itunes files around.(trimmed because it's huge) http://tr.im/m4AkMore info there if you search for (moving iTunes files on Windows computers)Also, before you do the copy, be sure to deregister the old PC. It's under the Advanced menu I think. Otherwise it'll take up one of your 5 registrations for any DRM music you still have. If you're talking about from one drive to another. Copy works.

Witch is easy to do then sync up your new ipod nano 2nd gen my personal favorite i have 5 of them. And drag the songs from your itunes account into your ipod nano its easy thanks and I hope this answered your question if have anymore feel free to email me at. dee.lindsay327@gmail.com and ill do my best to explain any further questions.

What format are your files in? If MP3 then there will be zero problem. I have all of my MP3's on an external hard drive as well & all of my tag info was kept intact when I imported the tracks into iTunes.If the format is WMA then iTunes will want to convert the files into a format that the iPod will play. Tags will likely remain intact but the files will be changed I believe.

I am so glad to read this! I bought my son a nano last year, and have returned it three times. It needs returned again, but I'm positive it's out of warranty now. The issue is that it randomly stops playing some songs - his library went from 250+ songs that would play to less than 50. This has happened so frequesntly that we're thoroughly disgusted. The 40G iPod video we have has no such problems!

If you have a wireless router, NO. Apps download quickly and iPod reminds you when there are updates. Tunes download COMPUTER FREE and the next time you open iTunes on your computer, it automatically downloads the tunes you downloaded on your iPod. The same happens if you purchased on the computer 1st: the iPod updates purchases. I hope this answers your question.

Yes, it works just like all iPods. It will reset the shuffle after adding new songs, but it starts right where you left off when you stopped playback and/or charge it.

I have used other programs to find music and then I tell itunes to add that folder to it's library. Then itunes simply converts whatever music files it is "allowed" to convert into it's own format so it can be used by the ipod. I've only had a few music files that could not be converted for whatever reason, copyright protection I suppose.

Good question,restarting will clean your iPod off, I can't answer the another question

yes when u have a ipod/mp3 player plugged in you have to use the ipod/mp player to change songs. you also have to make sure the volume is up on the ipod or no sound will come out of your head unit. i have a flash drive in my usb with over 150 songs but when using a flash drive you use the head unit to control everything.

I have never owned an Ipod. I am looking for the best version that is specifically for music. I do not want a lot of bells and whistles, I want good sound and to know up front that it is fairly simple to load or download music. Does anyone have a preference for what version I should go for? No:Photos/games/other stuff.. just music.thanks.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

I don't own a Touch, but my understanding is if you music is loaded on a USB drive, you can plug it directly into the Touch and no computer is required. Of course, if your music library is on a computer the computer needs to be on to access your music.Feel free to slam me if this is incorrect. :) Take a thread "USB Drive Connectivity" for more info.Interface does not fail again.
