Lil, so which Ipod do you have? Just wondering if it's the same as mine and how much I can get on mine.

DDD, please post the info here or send me a pm also on how to set Itunes so that Ipod does not sync automatically. Thanks,

I have an 80G Classic iPod and currently have 68.8G left. I don't think I will ever in my lifetime fill the thing! I have almost 600 songs, 3 movies, a handful of videos, some podcasts and a ton of pictures on there.

Soccermom,
As long as you have songs on both your computer and Ipod(I.e. your computer wontw ipe your ipod clean when you plug it in)
Simply plug in the IPOD, then go to the ipod options screen(i think this is done by clicking the little thing that looks like an ipod at the bottom of the screen or by clicking on your ipod in the device menu on the left in itunes. Then make sure the "Manually manage songs" box is checked.

No you can drag and drop songs to your ipod from your computer as long as your ipod has been synced with that computer.

You can set up playlists in iTunes and sync those to you iPod. You can use smart playlists so that files are automatically added to a playlist, I think iTunes calls is "auto update" or something like that. It's an option you select when you set up the smart playlist.

For example, I have a smart playlist I call "Most Recent" I set it up to contain anything that was added to my iTunes library within the past 30 days.

In hades.
I have my iPhone and ipods(yes, multiple) set to manual sync. You just drag and drop what music, movies, or books you want. I often change my mind about what music I want to listen to, so I am constantly changing what is on my iPhone. For example, I have a bunch of the time life sounds of the 70's cds for my mother, I don't want them on my iphone, so I never have to worry they are on my phone.

Well, I am over 1,000 songs now! I do believe that I am a bit obsessed about having a copy of every song that I love.

Downloading books I understand, but movies? Seems like you would miss a lot trying to watch such a small screen.

You would be surprised how clear the video is while watching a movie. I usually like to watch a movie on the plane. Also, since they are in my iTunes library, I can watch the movies on my laptop.

I've got just an 8G Nano. I've only got 120 songs on it...that's it! No movies, no pictures, only the games it came with. So, I've got plenty of room left. There's a TON of music I want to add, but I don't have the patience to sit and add it! When my kiddo adds to his ipod, I usually give him mine and he'll add to mine too. I've ended up with some interesting music because of that! The latest I got was Decyfer Down, Red, Thousand Foot Krutch, Nickelback, and Metallica. The only time I use mine is when I'm working out, so that music has been a good addition!

Tink - I am guessing that your ipod isnt synced with the computer that you want to add songs from.

SOoooooo

A.What type of computer is it?
B. Does the computer have all of the music on it that your Ipod does?


I have the same problem. It was my daughter's old one before she purchased her iPhone. Since it was synced with her computer and labeled as (name)'s iPod it wants to delete everything she has on it before I can add anything. Some of her music I like and some I ccould care less about but I hate to have to re-purchase the songs again. So if anyone knows how to get around this I would appreciate it.


I can't remember how, but you can download all the songs from your iPod to your computer and then delete the songs you don't want. BUT, I think you'd have to have it sinced.

As for me, I have the Classic. I currently have 8,676 with 50.2 GB free! I am SO glad to not have to pull out CD case after CD case to find the song I want to hear! This was the best investment ever. Plus even if I leave the ipod running overnight for a week, it hasn't run out of songs to play.

The worst part is the docking stations. I can't stand things in my ear, so every room I want to play it in needs a docking station. I did, however, find a docking station that sounds as good as a Bose at half the price from UBL.

Did you have a real estate agent at the open house? Did you raise [censored], threaten to find a new agent because she failed to protect your property after most likely telling you that you shouldn't be at the open house?

Plugged it into my computer, told it to sync. While doing so I could see all the songs on the ipod. When it finished they all went away and nothing was in my itunes that is on the ipod. Sigh!

When I went to try to add something it was asking me to login to itunes but wanted my daughter's login not mine. Double sigh!

Check this one out
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Insignia%26%23174%3B+-+AM/FM+Dual+Alarm+Clock+Radio+for+Apple%26%23174%3B+iPod%26%23174%3B+and+Most+MP3+Players+-+Black/8647841.p?id=1195598867718&skuId=8647841

Super inexpensive. Battery or plug in. Very handy for rooms where quality is not major important. Sounds very good though and works well for workout room when I am on treadmill, office (occassional use) and bathroom (shower running). Save the big bucks for the den and bedroom.

If you want to get real inexpensive, http://www.walmart.com/ip/Fashionation-Stereo-Speakers-for-iPods-MP3-Players/12509999

I purchased my very first Ipod last week. It's an Ipod Shuffle which means you can't change the songs, you just have to listen to them in the order that they come on. I asked my teenage daughter to load the songs for me since I (a) don't know how and (b) don't have time. I gave her a specific list of songs and told her not to put any thing other than those songs. I'm driving down the highway last night, proudly listening to my Ipod and all of a sudden the most potty mouthed rap song came on! She's 18 but I still think I might whoop her for that! She claims it was a mistake but I don't believe that for a minute!

I don't know your daughter - but I wouldn't believe that either. She got you!

Scary to think that the same porn can be downloaded on a Nintendo DSi, PSP, or iTouch. I disabled the WiFi on my son's for just that reason.

No porn, & no lawsuits for us from the parents of daughters!
