I am aware that I haven't posted for awhile and hate to ask, but I am a member of Macbb as well, and for some strange reason people have stopped answering my questions, either I did something wrong, or they are being Di#*S anyway, I really need help, if anyone could please help me
I am planning a trip across America and I am bringing music, I am going with my father, and he hates technology/doesn't quite get it.
1. He wants to bring some Music along, but refuses to put any on his iPhone, it takes up so much space, he doesn't have much space anyway, and hates listening to it on the iPhone. He has iPods, that he got updated to 250GB, and that's it, side note (I have burned CD's and have the playlist on my phone as a backup just in case things get desperate) Is there anyway, in a rental car, that will hopefully have Bluetooth, that an iPod can be connected, any kind of accessory or device? I am aware of Aux cables and I have FM Transmitters that can be plugged into the headphone jack and played over a dead/static radio station, but just checking, I am aware that the iPod's are obsolete, but nothing has come out that has even come close to replacing/surpassing it as far as I am aware
2. We have all of our movies and music stored on a Synology NAS drive, but he never remembers to, (whenever he turns off the computer or restarts it), manually mount the Synology drive, then tell iTunes to use that drive, so the computer defaults to using the standard library on the computer itself, and the computer fills up over time, so I have to get on, mount the Synology, tell iTunes where to save everything, then add the new songs he downloaded, and fix missing songs. Over the years, I don't know if this is a result of doing that, but when we go looking for songs in the music folder of iTunes on the Synology unit, they are everywhere, all over the shop, Bob Dylan is with Norah Jones, Frank Sinatra is with Chet Baker and so on, while iTunes says everything is fine. Don't know how to fix that
3. To avoid this happening again, is there an automation process, I can install/setup that will mount the drive automatically when the computer is turned on?
P.S I found an old iPod that I used Senuti on, to backup all the songs, before wiping it and starting again. The hard drive is one that my dad didn't change, it is 80GB, yet when I transferred all the songs, when it finished, it came to 600GB. I have no idea how that was even possible. Did I do something wrong?
