Cleared info from IPOD - memory still taken?

I used my IPOD as a backup for a large amount of information. When I removed all of that information (Word documents, PDF files etc.....) from the IPOD, that space of memory didn't "come back" and the IPOD is therefore missing that memory.
Any suggestions how to get that memory back?

Try restoring the iPod to factory settings.

I can no longer properly sync info from iPod to iTunes. Did iTunes change?

I have always been able to sync my iPod to iTunes. It updated number of plays, date last played, ratings, etc. from the iPod to iTunes.
I can no longer do this. I was on the phone with Apple Support for over an hour...kept getting put on hold while the technician searched for answers...and finally a "senior advisor" told me that it's impossible for information like this to be transferred from the iPod to iTunes. They're on "different" counting systems. This is amazing to me, because it's worked beautifully for years, but now this won't work. Information will transfer from iTunes to iPod, but not from iPod to iTunes.
I don't understand what happened.

The "expert" is wrong, partially. You must be using automatic syncing in order for iTunes to keep the "supporting data" (such as ratings and playcount) in sync. With automatic syncing, it is iTunes's "job" to keep the iTunes library on the computer "in sync" with the library on the iPod. You tell iTunes to replicate either the entire iTunes library on the iPod (if it will fit) or a defined subset of the iTunes library on iPod, and iTunes keeps all data for that media content in sync between iTunes library and iPod.
However, if you use the manual method to load content (drag and drop items on the iPod in iTunes), with the Manually manage music (and videos) setting on the iPod's Summary screen, THEN the iTunes library on the Mac is separate from the library on the iPod. iTunes just loads the media files on the iPod and then "forgets" about it. You can delete songs on the computer, and they stay on the iPod because iTunes doesn't care. In this case, iTunes also does not care about the supporting data, so things like ratings and playcount are not synced back to the Mac. Afterall, that song on the iPod may not even exist in the iTunes library anymore. It's possible that NONE of the song on the iPod are in the computer's iTunes library.

Clearing old erroneous address info from imac memory

When I type in addresses, Address book automatically fills in the rest of the address. This is great except when it keeps putting in old adresses that are no longer correct. I have made sure that the listing in Address Book is current and correct but I can't seem to clear the old ones from the computers memory. Anyone have any ideas?

The Mail.app saves all message recipients in the list of Previous Recipients in Mail (which cannot be turned off) and the autofill feature pulls from the Address Book and the list of Previous Recipients.
At the Mail.app menu bar, go to Window and select Previous Recipients.
A previous recipient entered in the Address Book will have a vCard icon to the left of the name. You can remove a previous recipient from the list or add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered.
Removing a previous recipient from the list of Previous Recipients in Mail has no effect on Address Book entries.

All CDs deleted from iPod but still in iTunes library. help?

So i imported some more CDs to my iTunes and it wouldn't let me drag and drop it to sync. Nothing happened whenever i did that. I ended up pressing sync and it deleted all of my CDs from my iPod 5th generation. they're still in my library, but I have no clue how to get them back on my iPod. i keep dragging them and dropping them but nothing is happening. I also restored a backup, but it was still the same. I'm getting frustrated because the CDs account for most of my music on my iPod. Any help would be much appreciated!

Help! Itunes 10 made songs vanish from ipod, but still in library!

I am frantic! I am a music teacher and use my ipod daily. This morning I upgraded to Itunes 10 and synced as normal. During my first class I noticed that all of a sudden half of the songs I needed weren't on my Ipod! They are in my itunes and play perfectly fine there. This is so frustrating! I don't have a cd player, so not having my music for class is making my job impossible!!! Please help ASAP!

Hi there,
You might try manually managing your music, giving you more control over what goes into your iPod without deleting anything important. If it's still on your computer, just sync it over.

After PC crash, can I load info from IPod to new ITunes library?

My laptop crashed and Dell reconfigured it back to factory settings. My ITunes library was deleted. I downloaded ITunes again but now it doesn't recognize the data from my IPod. How can I load the data from my IPod into the new ITunes library? Is there anyway to "reverse sync"?

1). Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Updating song info from iPod to iTunes Library

I've got an iPod Video 60GB. I manually control the content on my iPod and iTunes. I listen to my iPod at work all the time and rarely listen to music on my computer. How do I get iTunes to update my Library with the play count, song rating, and last played data from my iPod?

To move your library see this migrate iTunes library post.
If it is only the media on the external drive see Make a split library portable.
You should make your edits in iTunes, and backup the library against problems.
Automatic syncing is generally easier, but if you edit in iTunes and then drag & drop updated files to the device, the updated files should replace the originals. Dragging songs the other way is not supported.
If you want to try extracting the updated tracks from your device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Secure WiFi Network Requires "Physical Address" Info From iPod Touch

The Marina where I keep my boat has just installed a WiFi network for the slip holders. They are a little nuts about security, and decided to go a different route than WPA style passwords. They are using the physical address of each device to authorize access to the network.
How can I find the physical address of my Touch? I tried WiFI Address in settings, and no go. I found it on my G4 PB using this sequence: Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > Network > Locations > Airport > Hardware (MAC) Address:
Thanks.

To answer your question, you can find your own iPod touch's MAC address yourself. It is found under:
Settings: General: About: (scoll down a bit!): Wi-Fi Address = XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
(BTW: While you're at it, tell your "nuts" Marina's IT security manager that MAC address filtering is easliy cracked - maybe not by an iPod, but easily with a laptop. They should use WPA2 encryption for a million times better security, and not bother with SSID-hiding, nor MAC address filtering at all. I don't expect he'll listen to you though! IT mangers seem to think they know everything better than anybody! )

My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account?

My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account? I was looking through the photo section on my iPhone and found pics my daughter has taken from her iPod. I do not want my pics, emails, etc to show up on her iPod. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I have to create a different Apple ID for her to use instead?

If you have iOS 8 on all devices then:
If under 13 years create a new ID for her by:
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
The use family sharing to share apps
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
If underage and not i)S on all devices then you have to create an ID for here under your name and supervise it use:
Create a NEW account using these instructions so yo do not have to use a credit card.
Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
