Check BOTH the check boxes for +Keep iTunes Music folder organized+ and +Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library+. If you can see the music files on the iPod, that is good. They seem to be jumbled up, not obviously in albums or playlists.
MAC IPOD TOUCH TRANSFER CDS WINDOWS
I can find my music files on the iPod using Windows Explorer. But the iPod should operate normally as long as it is connected and receiving power through the dock connector. So one problem with the iPod is that the battery is worn out. Otherwise the battery discharges too rapidly. That is the only way to sync and charge your iPod at the same time, other than having a FireWire port on the computer and using FireWire to sync and charge. You should be connecting the USB end to the computer and the FireWire end to the power adapter. If you have the special docking cable that has both USB and FireWire, that is good. I don't think Apple even made USB docking cables at that time, since the first iPod to fully work with USB was the next model, the 4th gen iPod. It would not have come with a USB Docking Cable it would have come with a FireWire docking cable. The buttons should glow at the same time the back light for the screen comes on. Or will this be the only way to solve my problem? And I don't want to lose the playlists on the iPod.
MAC IPOD TOUCH TRANSFER CDS SOFTWARE
If my software is supposedly up-to-date, do I have to restore? I hate to do this unless it's absolutely necessary, because, over the years, adding music has always been a slow and difficult process.
I've recently discovered that I can connect it to my computer via USB and to the separate charger at the same time (3-connector cable). I believe it came with a USB cable, but I may have had to purchase it to use with a PC. My iPod has a dock connector, touch wheel and four round buttons that do _not glow_. If you are connecting it to a USB port using a USB Docking Cable, it may not work properly, and it will not charge while connected.ĭo you have a FireWire connection, or are you using USB? The 3rd gen iPod was designed to be connected using FireWire. It has a dock connector, touch (not click) wheel, and four round touch buttons that glow orange. That "2.3" software sounds like a 3rd gen iPod. If the iPod is not working, it's not working. The assumption here is that after restoring, the iPod will behave better and allow me add back all of my music So it's an ongoing process, not something you have to do BEFORE anything else. Based on your sync settings, the iPod will have the new songs after syncing. There is no "transfer file." At any time, you can add new songs to your iTunes library and then sync the iPod. I also expect that I should add any music that was not previously on the iPod to the transfer file before transferring it back In this mode, you manually add songs and remove songs from the iPod using iTunes. Sync setting you will +manually manage music+. If you remove songs from the library and sync, the iPod will lose those songs. If you later add more songs and sync, the iPod will have the new songs. Based on your sync settings, the iPod will mirror what's in your iTunes library. Music library, including any playlists you may want to create, you sync your iPod to the iTunes library. Sync setting, once you get all of your songs (the existing songs and the ones from the iPod) set up the way you want them in your iTunes Tags in the music files (data embedded in the files such as song name, artist name, and album name).Īfter I restore, I can (hopefully) transfer all of my music back to the iPod. Organization in the iTunes library listing and in the +iTunes Music+ folder will be based on the I guess you're suggesting that I copy all the music from my iPod back into iTunes so I can restore my iPod and not lose the music and its organization.
