Q1. How to use my iPod on different computers?
My iPod shuffle is 512MB. I always surf online in the net bar. Every time when I set up iTunes and connect with iPod, it will show, "this iPod doesn't keep in step with iTunes! Please click OK" Then all the music is gone and you should refresh. If you don't click OK, you cannot connect the iPod with iTunes. How can I solve this problem? Can my iPod use on different computers?
Answer:
I have ever met this problem before, and I also find a very good resolution. Here share with you First, Connect your iPod with a computer and input the music wanted with iTunes.
Second, do go back. Here is the key step: Now in iTunes "file"? "export database", click it choose a list in the coming-up dialogue box, and then Enter to back up the database.
Third, Make the iPod work as a portable disk in the iTunes. (If you have done this before, forget it.) Then click "iPod Disk" in "My Computer" and copy the database which you baked up just now in the iTunes into it, and then out.
Now connect your iPod with another computer. Don't make it keep a step with iTunes but click "input database", and click the database backed up. Can you all your music files back? That is it. Now you can go on inputting music or video etc. in the database. At this moment, connect with your iPod. After it is in a step with iTunes, it will remind you that you cannot find some specific songs and it cannot be copied into the iPod.
When you turn on your iPod, you will find the songs are still in your iPod. In this way you can use your iPod on different computers without limitation but just remember to back up database every time after you make the two keep in a step. In addition, you can set your iPod to be updated by hand in which way you also can make them in a step but not covered, but it is troublesome. Maybe if you are not careful enough, all files will be deleted. I have ever lost hundreds of songs. But it is still one resolution, a formal one.
Q2. How to put the movies in my computer into my iPod? Recently, I bought a new iPod MP4, but I have tried many times and methods to put the movies into my iPod, but all failed. I couldn't add it into the database and keep them in a step.
Answer:
iPod can support MP4 and H.264 video form, but the original video should be converted to the form that iPod can support. There are lots of softwares can do this job. And the software I am using is pretty good. Its name is Agile iPod Video Converter which is very easy-to-use. Click the file you want, and select your iPod type, and then click "Convert", then after converting; you can put the video into "movie" in the iTunes. If you have iPod 6, you can add videos into your iPod and keep it in a step with iTunes. If you set iTunes to "manage music by hand", you can also put the video or video player list into the iPod in the iTunes source list. Now you have finished a half.
The followings are the steps how to finish it:
1). Connect iPod with your computer, and then open iTunes;
2). Click "Preset" in the iTunes;
Mac User: "Preset" in the iTunes;
Windows User: "Preset" in the "Edit";
3) click "iPod" tag "video" tag
4) choose one of the following video synchronous options:
#1. If you want to make all videos in the iTunes keep in a step with iPod with iTunes, then click "Automatically update all videos"
#2. if you just want to synchronize the videos in the play list into your iPod with iTunes, click "Automatically update selected playlists only", and then click the box beside the play list.
#3. if you don't want to add any videos into your iPod, click "Don't update video". Note that if you have already synchronized the present videos with iPod, you will delete them from the iPod when you click this option.
5) Click OK.
Once you close the "preset" in the iTunes, iTunes will start to update the iPod as the settings in the "preset".
Attention: If you manage the audio files by hand, you should do it with videos by hand, too. If you set the iPod to update music automatically, then you should click one of the two automatically update options for videos, or choose neither of them.
