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

I found the Ipod nano 5generation to be the best Ipod I've ever owned. Have been through 5, why five you ask? The other couldn'tm keep up with my sports. Ipod works and will be with me for a long time. Highly recomend. Cost might seem high, but you sure do get what you pay for!

I charge the ipod with my computer. It is recommended not to charge with multiple sources, such as directly connected to the wall with a USB adapter. Using the computer, I can always sync new music.

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.

Absolutely - Simply check "Enable Hard Drive Use" in iToons when you're setting up prefs and the deal is done. If you do not want the computer to affect the music just UNcheck "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" in prefs. If u plug into a different computer and iToons opens, just quit itoons immediately as it opens. You may get a notice that iToons is updating the ipod. Click ok & just quit the pgm. Just remember, after you eject the ipod (properly-right?) the iPod will still show the red "Do Not Disconnect" symbol. Respect its wishes. It will dissappear in a moment. Then pull the cable. End of story. I currently have about 5 gigs of backup info on mine & it is a real lifesaver. Hope this helps

Hi Mely_May, I recently purchased the 32GB Ipod Touch 5th Generation, Wow What a machine, Yes you can create Playlists with the device or on your computer and just drag then to your device I recommend doing it this way so you have the playlist available for your computer and your Ipod, I would also suggest the 32gb version if you plan to watch movies, or Tv shows since they can be stored on the device.Hope this Helps.Brian

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.

My 120 is a piece of crap. Read posts at apple discussions about skipping,cutting of songs and reseting wile playing. My old 30G is 3 yrs old and I play it constantly at work,in my car etc. alot of days I have played it for 10 hr streaches and it is still more reliable than this POC. This problem has been happening since it was new and apple wants to ignore the problem. It is a hardware problem with the 120GB. I am about to smash the darn thig out of frustration as it has gotten so bad it is just about unusable. Only 8 mo old. Think I will look into other brands. Apple quality is going down. They should drop this like they did the POC 160GB. Buy one at your own risk My 120 is a piece of crap. Read posts at apple discussions about skipping,cutting of songs and reseting wile playing.

You can't add memory but it holds a good amount of music. Yes you can add/delete songs as long as it's hooked up to your MAC / iTunes. I do it all the time. User friendly depends on how well you know how to use iTunes with your ipods ;o)

I have the 3rd generation (new one) 32 GB IPOD Touch. Works great with this unit.Only problem. The IPOD played perfectly with the default dock adapter, but is a little jiggly. I took that adapter out and replaced it with the one that came with my IPOD. I could not get enough clearance. The IPOD wouldn't make the connection - wouldn't play. I replaced it with the adapter it came with. No one else has this complaint. Plays great music. Also, it's my understanding that the 2nd and 3rd gen IPOD Touch are identical physically, so it shouldn't be a problem. To be safe, this is available in store at Target for $79. 90 day return policy.

This article is an excellent guide on how to remove songs from an ipod onto a computer that no longer has those music files: http://reviews.cnet.com/transfer-ipod-songs/I have sadly had to use it when my external hard drive just stopped working one day. You can download them to you computer from your ipod shuffle and then upload them from the computer to the ipod nano. Hope this helps :)

I have 8GB on my curent (Gen 4) iPod. I have been wanting to upgrade to a video iPod for a while, but decided to wait hoping a new one would come out (similar to the iPhone). I am a little concerned about only having 16GB, but even more concerned about its shape. Is this iPod expected to fit into current iPod accessories? I have an iDock for my AV receiver, and I'd be bummed if this didn't fit. It came with several adaptors, but I don't think it has any that are for an iPod that thin.

This has happened to me. I fixed my problem by resetting my iPod. Please download the manual from Apple's website. Unfortunately Amazon won't let me post the direct link. Go to Chapter 6 (page 55) of the current manual to troubleshoot. If you use Windows version of iPod and you manually update your playlists, your problem may have been triggered by improper disconnection. If that's the case, make sure you always eject your iPod first by using Window's System Tray (much like disconnecting flash drives). Good luck!

Hi there,i'd like to buy a new 8GB mp3, but, i'm confused between the new ipod nano and zune. people say that the 3rd gen nano has a great battery life now, but, i'm discouraged from transferring my music files to itunes and changing the format (i've been using windows media. so, they're mostly in .wma)Is it true that Zune's software is crippled?being an experienced useer, would you recommend zune or nano? =)thanks a bunch!!

No, all the memory will be there when you turn off the power. If you restore the ipod through iTunes, it will delete everything. Hope this helps!

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.
