How do you hook the iPOD up to ps3??

[AirLobo23]

When i hook the usb cable to the ps3 it recognizes it, but the ps3 says there is no music tracks on the ipod??

What am I doing wrong?

Press triangle and then it should give you some options. I keep getting error message while its in the process of copying to my PS3. I don't know what the problem is.

I dont think it will work, although I'm not sure. I think there is a particular folder layout in order for it to recognize it. Although I'm not sure because I have put in an MP3 CD and it recognized all the music and even organized it by the folder layouts that the CD had.

Its supposed to work fine, I've heard many say they've done it. However I don't have one to try out right now. Just keep looking around, I'm almost 100% positive it can be done.

PS3 HOW TO

IPOD directions for downloading from IPOD at first glance it was stated you couldn't do it, but I found away.

IPOD


1: Plug you Ipod into your PS3.

2: Go to the music section and scroll down to USB Device (Ipod)

3: Press triangle then click displays all.

4: Click Ipod Central then waits a second until you see music.

5: Press Music then you will see F00 proceeding by F01 and onward.

6: Now click F00 and you will see a list of songs.

7: Now scroll over the song you wish to download and click triangle.

8: Now a menu will come up. Press copy.

9: Now your song will download to your PS3. This should take less then 3 seconds.

10: Now press circle and proceed to do the same for the rest of the songs you wish to download.

11: When done click circle until you are back at the main music section.

12: Disconnect your Ipod and you will see all of the song listed by albums.


The only thing that sucks about doing it this way is that you can only download one song at a time, which can take a while if you have 500 songs like me. I bet Sony did this on purpose so that you wouldn’t take up your whole hard drive if you have a 30 gb Video like me. You can speed it up by downloading the whole folder or multiple songs from the same folder.

For example: While scrolling over F00 or any other folder press triangle then click copy and it should download everything in that folder or (my favorite) while scrolled over a song in the folder press triangle and then press up. You should see (copy multiple). Click it and select the songs you wish to download from that folder then click (OK). You should be good to go.

If you want to download your videos all you have to do if follow these same directions. Even direction #'s 4 and 5. (You have to click music) wierd I know. When you go into the folder and select the video watch it to make sure you know which video it is first. With mine the names were all messed up.

If you wish you can sort everything by artist. To do this you must scroll over one of the albums (any one) then click triangle and press up. You should be scrolled over (Group Content) if you are then press right and click which option you choose to search your music under. Press X and you should be good to go. The same should be good for videos. Except it should say (sort by) instead.

If you wish to edit the information that the song/video has posted then scroll over the song you wish to edit then click triangle then scroll down till you see (information). Click it and scroll down each item and press X to edit that information.
