I bet you can't fix this one...reward if you can!!

Okay so a couple problems...
(I have an ipod video and I don't know if that's a 5th generation or not, just please help. I'll do anything.)
1. My ipod video was stolen, so I got a new one and registered it on a computer at school. Now that I'm home, my computer's itunes won't recognize this ipod, being used to my old one. So naturally I can't load any of the things I've bought on itunes to my ipod. I have tried that thing where you press Menu and Select. When I go to Prefrences it says No ipod Connected. So what can I do? I guess there is no way to unregister it, is there?
2. I have been reading, trying to figure out how I'm going to get movies onto my ipod. There are all these programs--Limewire, BitComet, Videora, Spark something or other--that I have downloaded, trying hopelessly to convert a movie to the right file and get it on itunes. I follow the directions, but I can't understand any of the programs and I even just tried paying some website for a .mov file of the movie and trying to open it in itunes. nothing works for me.
3. I'm not sure if I'm doing things right to begin with...in order to get something into itunes, is the only way to do it to press add file to library (Ctrl+O)? I have also tried import but that only works when I insert a Cd.
Something I just tried:
I pressed export and saved the entire library to the drive containing my ipod (yes it is recognized in my computer) so it should be saved there (?) but how to make it recognize and play it?
I am such a novice...if anyone will be my lovely computer geek, I will be so greatful and send you presents I'm not even joking.
Love, Marsha

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
1) If the iTunes preference window is open when you connect your iPod, the iPod will not be recognized by iTunes.
Also, iPods can work with many iTunes libraries, so that is not the problem here.
Is all the software on your computer up to date?
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Does the iPod show up in My Computer when connected to your computer? Does it say Do Not Disconnect?
Try the steps listed here...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
If you are going to use your iPod with multiple iTunes libraries (home and school)...
Using iPod with multiple computers
2) What part aren't you understanding. Here are a couple of free programs you can use to convert videos...
MPEG Streamclip
Videora iPod Converter
The programs should come with documentation and instructions to convert videos.
3) You can go to file-->add file to library, file-->add folder to library, or have iTunes open and drag the files into the iTunes library while viewing the library.. You can also import from CDs.
iTunes needs to be adding the songs to the iPod. You cannot just add the song files to the iPod.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • How should I fix this one Flash mp3 player problem?

    First of all, I'm just learning Flash, so bear with me. To deliver music content on a little website, I'm using the original Fabricio Zuard XSPF_player from Sourceforge.net. The version of the player that plays more than one song is supposed to also display the relevant album cover on the left. This works fine with FireFox 3.6, IE 8, and Opera 11 (all on Windows XP Pro sp3).
    But on Google Chrome, the song links go all the way to the left including the space where the cover image should be. Can someone more experienced help me diagnose this? One person has suggested a Javascript problem, but the only Javascript I'm using is SWFObject, which appears to have a good reputation, and doesn't have anything to do with the player's internal appearance.
    http://www.keithpurtell.com/kthings/bruce.htm

    As you suggested, I used Flash (CS5) to publish an html. Tested in Firefox the cover is shown, but tested in Google I still get only the links to the songs. Can you suggest my next step?

  • Dropped my ipod and now it makes a clicking sound and won't turn on at all. is it cheaper to get a new one or fix this one?

    i have tile floors and i dropped my ipod classic flat on its back while it was off. i tried turning it on after that and it now it makes a clicking sound and won't even turn on. all it shows is a dead ipod and told me to go to apple.com/support/ipod. i'm not sure how to fix it or if it's even fixable. or is it just cheaper to get a new one?

    If the phone will not power on try these three things:
    Connect it to your phone charger
    Connect it to your computer and open up iTunes
    Perform a hard reset (Hold down the sleep/wake (top) button at the same time as the home (circle) button for 45 seconds. When the apple appears on the screen let go of both buttons.

    Hi Apple_Mom,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.

    Hello Virginia.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • See if you can figure this one out...

    First off, I use FireFox, not Safari (Safari is great, but FF works better for me)...
    So here's the deal: I use MySpace as means of making some important contacts. I have a Power Mac G5 connected to a Linksys router (Model# RT41-BU) which is behind a Motorola SB-5100 cable modem. I also have three Windows XP machines on the same network.
    I have no problem with any other website except MySpace. As soon as I log in, I can usually get to 2-3 pages fine. As soon as I click to access probably the 4th page, I start timing out. My computer will stall for up to 1-2 minutes. Eventually the page will either load (usually just partially at this point) or I will get a time-out error (btw, by "stalling" I mean I just sit there and wait, and wait, and wait for a page to load...NOT that the actual computer has frozen and is not responding).
    If, after getting the time-out error, I then click “Try Again” the page will usually then IMMEDIATELY load w/ no problem (occasionally I will get the timeout page again after a few minutes).
    If I choose to QUIT Firefox during the stalling, but BEFORE I get the time out error, and immediately open it back up, I start stalling again (at this point it’s merely trying to load my homepage, which, of course is apple.com/startpage).
    If I try to go to the EXACT same pages on my Windows XP machine using Firefox I have absolutely NO problem loading any pages whatsoever…UNLESS:
    If I, again QUIT Firefox on my Mac BEFORE getting the timeout error…walk 5 feet over to my Windows machine and try to load my home page (Yahoo.com), it will stall. I usually have to then wait about 1-2 minutes, and it will start back up again, and I then have no problems.
    Here’s where it gets REALLY interesting:
    If I DISCONNECT my Linksys router, and plug my Mac DIRECTLY into the back of my cable modem (in other words, disassemble the network, and have the modem shooting stright to the mac), I DON’T have this problem. I can log into MySpace hit any page, just as I can with my Windows machine.
    Because the problem DOES NOT occur to my Windows machine while it’s ON the network, and DOES NOT occur with my Mac when it’s OFF the network, all signs point to some sort of issue with certain Macs running on certain Linksys routers. There must be some sort of conflict between the two, but I IMAGINE that there HAS to be either some sort of tweak or some sort of patch that will fix this issue.
    I have had this issue from day one of owning this computer (about 4 months). It has never worked on the router properly.
    I have tried reformatting the machine and reinstalling everything. No change.
    I have tried lowering the MTU on both my router configuration and mac network config anywhere from 1400 to 750, with no noticable change.
    I have tried several different browsers (Firefox, Safari, IE for Mac & even Opera) but still have the same results.
    I’ve gone into the “about:config” page of Firfox and turned on network.http.proxy.pipelining and set the max requests to 16, with no new results.
    I have tried disabling javascripting…nothing.
    I have also tried contacting Linksys, and the only thing they can suggest is lowring my MTU again (It’s obvious by talking to them that English is also not their first language)
    Here’s something weird as well:
    WHILE the page is stalling to load, I can open the Network Utility and run a continuous ping to the page I’m trying to hit and get a consistent response on EACH ping, even though the page won’t load.
    My cable modem and router BOTH operate on DHCP (IP address and DNS servers are assigned automatically – NOTHING that I know of is entered in statically).
    The only thing I haven’t tried is upgrading the firmware on my router. I’d really like to use this as a LAST resort – HP ruined a DVD writer I had once with a firmware upgrade that went wrong.
    I’d really like to get this fixed. I have friends in a band that are out on the road right now, and with the exception of wasting valuable minutes on my cell phone, this is the only way I have of keeping contact with them. It’s really irritating that I have to use my Windows machine…despite the fact that it’s only a few feet away, I SHOULDN”T HAVE to.
    Anyone want to try and tackle this one?
    Much appreciated,
    --Jbj

    Hi bmb,
    So here's the deal: I use MySpace as means of making some important contacts. I have a Power Mac G5 connected to a Linksys router (Model# RT41-BU) which is behind a Motorola SB-5100 cable modem. I also have three Windows XP machines on the same network.
    Does this happen only when you try to access MySpace website? Any other website works fine?
    If I DISCONNECT my Linksys router, and plug my Mac DIRECTLY into the back of my cable modem (in other words, disassemble the network, and have the modem shooting stright to the mac), I DON’T have this problem. I can log into MySpace hit any page, just as I can with my Windows machine.
    Smells like DHCP spaghetification...
    I have tried reformatting the machine and reinstalling everything. No change.
    No good, unless you tried anything funny when installing MacOS X, networking issues have are not magically fixed by re-installing the OS. This is a habit coming from the Windows world...
    My cable modem and router BOTH operate on DHCP (IP address and DNS servers are assigned automatically – NOTHING that I know of is entered in statically)
    What about your Mac (and the rest of your PCs)? How do they get their TCP/IP settings (manually or via DHCP)?
    Your issue(s) smell DHCP big time, go to System Preferences-->Network-->Ethernet/AirPort (whatever you use to connect) and click on the TCP/IP tab. Set Configure IPv4 to Manually and post back.
    How are your computers connected to the Linksys box (wired/wirelessly)?

  • TS1702 i can't open all apps that i manually installed. when i try to open one, it asks me to log in to my apple account and when i do it, it says that my apple id or password is incorrect. does anyone can help me to fix this problem?

    i upgrade my 3gs to os 6.1 but starting then all my manually installed apps does work and every time I open them, it asks me to log in to my apple account but responds that my password is incorrect. I tried to change my password but i never received the confirmation email. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi,
    iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
    However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
    In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
    AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat  (Until the 30th June 2014)
    As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
    Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
    Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
    About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
    If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
    In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    (If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
    Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
    Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

    Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

    Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
    Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
    Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
    No, which is not possible.
    What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
    Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

  • My notes started crashing and have been every time I open them for the past few months. They're still included in search but when I click on one, it opens for a brief second but crashes before it's opened completely. Anyone know how I can fix this?

    Restarting my iPad didn't work and I can't delete the notes app, since it's one that came with the iPad (I'd lose all my notes that way, anyway). Someone mentioned once that when they synced it with their laptop their notes started working again, but I'd never backed it up to my laptop before, only iCloud.

    This answer from beppolina (https://discussions.apple.com/message/23842867#23842867)
    Fixed it -- go to Settings - General - Reset and select "Reset All Settings."   Still annoying, because now you have to go back and re-do all of the ways you customized your settings, but at least Notes is back.
    Now if only they'd fix this major "connect to itunes to use push notifications" alert bug that's a constant irritant in some apps and disables others (Dropbox, I'm looking at you) completely.

    When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
