Is it true that iPod's will only sinc to one computer? HELP? Can you disable it by turning on the hold switch?

I highly recommend using Apple's support site (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/) rather than asking Amazon users. Most don't actually know what they're talking about. You can easily back up, transfer, switch computers, etc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329) Also, you can switch to manually sync your iPod which will allow you to sync with many computers. The purpose of auto-syncing is to ensure that the changes you make on your computer are mirrored on your iPod. However, there are many other easy ways to manage your iPod such as dragging-and-dropping playlists straight to the iPod. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351)

Cleoo,You have to understand there are many people who do not know or understand how to use many computer devices. I can't answer the question for you because I don't run or have access to a MAC, sorry about that. My neighbor has one and I can try to see if they have time and test it on their computer and let you know. Regards,Charlie

Sounds like a connection problem if it works some times and not others. I only have a iPod CLASSIC and have never had any problems. Maybe a visit to the Apple Store. Sorry not much help. Regards,Barry

On Windows, you can set up separate user accounts. These separate user accounts use different directories in iTunes, so each of you will have your own song list without each other's music to sync your iPod to.

I've had my iPad & iPods synch through it with no problem. I've never paid attention to see if they were actually "charging" at the same time, but I think it says on the box that it's supposed to charge them as well.

Hey Richard, I bought a SonyEricsson w810 (unlocked) about two weeks ago. I can transfer pics I downloaded from the net into my mac powerbook g4 10.3.9, then into my phone via usb. I can transfer and play non-protected music the same way. What has me considering sending back the phone (bought it through Meritline.com, which is another frustrating story) is that, even after creating music folders, my w810 will only play one song. Nothing concurrently. I'd might as well be flipping 45 rpm's on an old turntable (remember those?). I'm so frustrated, I'm condidering just getting the iphone, even with it's reported first-generation problems. Best of luck!

To ensure its not your IPod ,test someone else's .....if theirs don't work ,there may be a connection issue...

Seeing as this isn't an actual iPod, no you can't. It look like one but is as the name suggests, it is a generic mp3 player.but I do believe iPods do let you face time with other iPod users.

I keep all my music on an external drive.....and I have 2 different iPods (a classic for ALL my music and videos, and a nano for certain playlists for workouts and travel)......by setting the playlists to manually sync (as suggested above) for whatever iPod is designated, you can control what goes on what, and allow each one to have a different set of music/videos on them.

Mine died about three years ago but I don't remember having to set it each time. I found one and left it there. Guess I had a radio preset on that station so when I wanted to listen to the iPod I could go to that preset and turn the iPod on and all set to go.

All computers (and that's really what an iPod is) will freeze occasionally. There are two recent posts about freezing (which, I suspect prompted your question)which, aside from sounding like they were written by the same person, were written by people without much knowledge of the device. Like your desktop computer, generally, an iPod is easily reset on the fairly rare occasions when it does freeze. I've had almost every generation of iPod. If they freeze more than once every couple of months, I'd be surprised.

I USED to be able to do that but it no longer is working. I was wondering if it were my iPod but nothing seems wrong with it. Using my iPod to play music through this unit is still working fine but I bought it for the precise purpose of using it as a larger screen for watching videos from my iPod. Anyone have suggestions? I loved it when it was working properly.

There is a standard USB input on the front panel for connecting ipods, ipads, iphones etc I connect my ipod directly to the front and enjoy, no problems

you need to manually switch. you'll save yourself a lot of trouble if you buy directly from Apple or from a more reputable seller!

I have the same system and have no problems playing my ipod through all the speakers. There must be something wrong in your settings for that port? I guess I never changed anything when I hooked up my ipod.

The small round switch on top left side of iPod locks out all of the controls on the round face. Example, your listening to music and stick the iPod in your pocket, slide switch to right, to prevent accidental skipping of songs, changing volume, etc. Hope that helps.

I recently bought the 8GB Nano from Amazon and returned it within a week due to the problems you describe. I thought I was the only one. 8GB Nano would freeze up at least once a day, and would sometimes turn on unexpectedly (when it was turned off and I would just pick it up) with a solid white screen that would not turn off and would not respond to button presses - I would have to reset it. I was so disappointed with my ipod experience that I requested a refund (rather than a replacment) so I can buy a competitor's product. I am jaded about Apple/iPod now.
