Hi, I have these songs I really want on my ipod, but I am in a different country. My ipod was originally used on the computer back home in the U.S. Can I download songs onto my ipod touch from another computer without having to reset my ipod to factory settings?

Please do NOT say just google it.

Yes it will work but it is extremely complicted. It will try to remove all your songs to yoir library.

I jailbroke my ipod touch a while a go and I want to get rid of it. I heard that if you restore your ipod that it will unjailbreak your ipod. I have all my music, apps, and photos that I want onto my itunes just in case if it deletes everything. What will happen if I restore my ipod? Is there another way to unjailbreak an ipod touch?

you probably will brick/break it. try it & see what happens.

I have a recently Jailbroken ipod touch, 2.2.1, and I downloaded a theme from the internet to my computer. How do I get that theme from my computer onto my ipod so I can use it with WinterBoard?

You need to SSH into it:

Download OpenSSH from Cydia
Download SSH Toggle or SB Settings
Download WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php)
Get iPod’s IP address in the settings on WiFi in your iPod Touch
In WinSCP add a new session
-host name: your iPod’s IP
-user name: root
-password: alpine
I think you then put the theme into library/themes

Enjoy, email me if you have more problems

I have a ipod touch and i am planning to sell it. The problem is that i want to give the buyer an empty ipod, but i still want to keep my songs so i can put it in to my new ipod. Is that possible? Thanks

Yes, it is possible.

Connect your iPod Touch to iTunes. Click on the ‘******’s iPod’ tab. There should be a ‘Restore’ button on that page. Click on this button. Doing so will erase all your data from that iPod Touch.

I got a new ipod for christmas, i’ve also recently got a new computer.
Therefore, i have none of the songs that was on my old ipod on my computer, which means i can’t put the songs onto my new ipod.
Is there any way i can get the songs of my old ipod and onto my new ipod?

Here is a tip. All you need is to get all music/videos from your old iPod back to this computer and iTunes. In this case, all songs/videos are on your iTunes library that you can syn both iPods with whenever you wish to without deleting any files.

Simply use this handy program called Tansee iPod Transfer to help you http://www.gutensoft.com/Utilities/Tansee-iPod-Transfer.htm
Many of my friends are using it for its easy and safe transfer.

With just a few simple clicks, it will help you transfer all songs/videos from old iPod to your selected folder on your computer, and then you can easily add those files back to iTunes. More importantly, this won’t overwrite any original files on your iPod.And all song names are preserved.

Here is step-by-step guide on the whole process:

On the 23rd October 2001, the world was introduced to a technological phenomenon that would change the way people listen to music forever. The release of the iPod was much anticipated and it did not let anyone down.

The first iPod released had a capacity of 5GB which was enough for the user to have 1000 songs on. Second and third generation iPod were subsequently released in 2002 and 2003 respectively with slight improvements to make the product more user friendly.

By the time the fourth, fifth and sixth generation models had been released, the iPod had become very sophisticated with memory of up to 160GB available for users to upload their favourite songs as well as films and episodes of their favourite programmes. The iPod has well and truly become the market leader in MP3 players.

As well as the classic styles, Apple also released other versions of the iPod including the Mini, which was a smaller, lightweight version of the classic with less memory. The Nano, slim and sleek and ideal for those constantly on the go, and the iPod shuffle which was a screen-less version that was designed for those exercising as it was very small.

On the 5th September, Apple once again raised the bar. The iPod Touch was released which had Wi-Fi capabilities and a Multi-touch interface. Internet access was perceived to be the only thing missing from the product so Apple corrected this and made it available providing a Safari browser.

Another reason the Apple iPod gets good reviews is for the accessories it provides. One of the most successful has been the iPod Hi-Fi; many users flocked to the shops to buy the product that was a docking station for the iPod that allowed the user to play the songs on a high quality sound system.

Added to this, the release of the iPhone and iPhone 3G means that Apple are set to have a good Christmas with many of their products being at the top of Christmas lists. With a range of iPod accessories , finding the right iPod for christmas is easy. For all the best deals on an Apple iPod and more shop online and compare prices.

I have many music videos (not bought off itunes) that are in the ipod format. I can put them on my ipod but not in the right place. Its puts them in the movie place. On itunes while my ipod is hooked to the computer, under where it shows what your ipod contains it doesnt have a place to put your music videos. It only has music, movies, and tv shows. How can i put my music videos in the right catagory on my ipod?

Its in your iPod , and iTunes right? If so, go to iTunes, find your Music Videos and right click on it. Go to every tab on the options, and find the tab that says Video Type. Once there, scroll down the list and select music videos. Then your done. Now just connect your iPod and it will fix your flaw.

So I want to import songs from the Music section on my ipod (music that is already on my ipod) onto my ipod playlist. It says that you need to put songs into a playlist from you library though…
Does anyone know how to put the music you already have on your ipod into the library or how to put music that already on your ipod into a playlist?
P.S im pretty sure the version of itunes i have is 3.1.1 if it helps
thanks

Go to your Music library, select all of the songs and then click the File tab, click "Create Playlist from selection", once you have the playlist. You can drag it into the iPod icon or Sync it.

Sites offering free iPod music downloads are appearing all over the internet everyday. But if you were to take a closer look at them, one thing you must find out is whether they are legal music downloads. Everyone likes free stuff including free iPod music downloads. The sad truth is quite a number of these sites are illegal and violate copyright laws by uploading patented or copyright music without permission from the record labels or music companies. There are only a few sites where you truly can get hold of free iPod music downloads.

Recently, there were reports on the TV and newspapers regarding people facing lawsuits filed by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association for America) for uploading copyrighted music for others to download. These people may face fines in the range of thousands. It seems that those who supported these offenders by downloading free iPod music downloads could be implicated. These are the free music sites that cost you absolutely nothing to download. But there are the risks of getting caught of course.

However, there remain ways in which a person can download free or rather almost free iPod music downloads without getting into trouble with the law.

The first thing you should be looking for is sites that have a membership system. For you to be a member of these sites, you have to pay a one-time membership fee, about $40 over to join. After that, you are free to download as much music as you want to your iPod. At present, this seems to be an increasingly popular alternative to sites like iTunes, WalMart, eMusic, etc which operates their business on a pay-per-download system. There are occasions you can find iTunes offering certain songs for free downloading but such occasions are really rare. Registering with a paid membership site is still more cost effective for free iPod music downloads. Period.

So it is not wrong for anyone to say that downloading iPod music at these online membership sites is free afterall. It is simple maths that the more you download, the average cost per piece of music goes down and down until you reach a point where the cost per download is almost zero. For example, I paid $40 for the lifetime membership and download close to 2000 songs. Each song cost me 2 cents per song only. Free iPod music downloads is within reach as we download more.

In everything, there are the good ones and the not-so-good sites. But generally, these are the few factors you need to watch out for. The sites must offer a wide selection of all kinds of music giving you a personalized feel when you download music at these download sites. Everyone must be able to find their favorite music there. With millions of songs in store at several popular and reliable sites, it is almost a certainty that you would find what you are looking for. The technical and customer support must be top-notch and assist you should you face any difficulty in downloading music from their sites to your iPod.

Free iPod music downloads do not only mean they cost nothing. They must also be free from adware, spyware and viruses so that you can download them with a peace of mind. Only when these download sites satisfy these conditions are they considered worthy to join. Read up a review on my music blog to find out which sites are great places for free iPod music downloads.

What materials are the ipod nano made of (like plastic, metal, etc.)? Is the material different than the ipod video?

The current line of iPod nanos?

I believe they are made of the same thing the iPod videos are made from – the anodized aluminum.

The back is made of a shiny aluminum.
