itunes not recognizing ipod video
And here is a step by step guide offers two solutions to resolve the problem; Option 1: If you have an iPod, you can sync your iTunes library to iPod, and then copy them from the iPod to the new computer; Option 2: You can sync iTunes to external hard drive and import them back into the new computer;
Now, let to start the guide.
Part 1. User's iPod to transfer your iTunes library to another computer
Step 1. Synchronize your iTunes library from your computer to your iPod, I'm sure you can handle this step, so I will not explain here. Because iTunes prevents copying music and video from iPod to computer, you need special software to avoid the limitation of iTunes. I have tried many transfers iPod, and I strongly recommend this transfer iPod to PC. It's really easy to use. I tried all the series of iPod including iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPod Shuffule, iPod photo, even the iPhone, that all works pretty well. On the other hand, can be used as an alternative to iTunes, which is really helpful when iTunes does not recognize the iPod, but you want to load music and video for iPod.
Step 2. Download and install the iPod to PC Transfer. For more information, you can visit this iPod transfer review. Run the iPod to PC Transfer, plug in your iPod to the new computer, your iPod will detect and scan your iPod, then it will A list of the files on your iPod. Choose the list and you want to transfer files, click Start Transfer button.
Step 3. After making Click the Start Transfer button, the following window appears, you can choose to transfer to computer hard disk or directly to iTunes. You can set the output in shaping the options before the transfer times.
Fact: If you are a Mac user, you can try this Mac iPod to computer transfer, the steps of the operation are similar to the version of Windows, so I'm not repeating here.
Part2. Use external hard drive to transfer iTunes library to another computer to get your music from iPods sync with iTunes, you must either 1) indicate to iTunes to store music files on your hard disk portable external hard drive instead of his regular unit, or 2) import music files from your drive external disc in iTunes. Step 1: Tell iTunes where to store music files Open iTunes and select Edit – Preferences. Then click the Advanced tab, where is the iTunes Music folder location.
Click the Change button and select a folder on your external hard drive (you may want to create the first, if you want the files that are stored in a special folder on the new drive). If you want all your music files to be moved from the main unit to the external drive, then make sure that the Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library option is selected. Step 2: Import iTunes music from an external hard disk If you already have a music video in a portable hard disk drive, and only wants to iTunes so you can synchronize and get files on your iPod, then you can drag and drop files from iTunes on your new computer. You can also use the File – Add Folder to Library from the iTunes menu, select the folder of music and video on their portable hard drive, and iTunes adds to the library. If you uncheck the Copy files to iTunes Music folder, when adding to library option, which is in the same form shown above, then iTunes will leave the files on the external drive. In the state of activation (shown above), iTunes will copy all music files in the folder on your external hard drive to your unit. Perhaps not what you want (especially if the external drive it has more files than the size of the main unit).
