  • What do i do if i have lost my passcode for my ipod touvh?

    what do i do if i have lost my passcode for my ipod touch?

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes.  If iTune asks for the passcode and y can't enter the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod.  Fo recovery mode see:

    Hello ashlyn888,
    Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

  • I just purchased a 24" iMac A1225 without a hard drive.   Can I transfer the drive from my old 17" iMac, with OS 10.68 installed on it, or do I have to clone, migrate or reinstall?

    Hal

    Aha OK then, that should work fine.
    The only snag might be, if your missing the original thermal sensor from the original 24" Hard Drive.
    Then again, you should be able to use the one that came from the original 17" Hard Drive.

  • TS1702 My Pages ap has gone grey and cannot be updated.  I don't want to lose what I have there.  How can I get it back?

    My Pages Ap has gone grey and cannot be updated at the ap store.  I don't want to lose what I have there...what should I do?

    What do you mean it has gone gray? Were you trying to update the app and it stalled on you?
    Do you backup with iCloud or iTunes on your computer? If you have all of the files backed up then you should be able to delete the app and reinstall it - if needed.

  • I have been backing up my photos to an external hard drive. I usually choose the photos, copy and paste them to the EHD. It has started saying "an item named "unnamed.jpg" already exists in this location. I don't know what to do.

    I have the MacBook OS X 10.5.8, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB. I have been backing up my photos to an external hard drive since I purchased it. I usually choose the photos, copy and paste them to the EHD. It has started saying "an item named "unnamed.jpg" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving? Don't replace/Stop/Replace". I don't know what to do.

    Thanks Jim, I kind of thought that was the answer, but was hoping against hope that I was just missing something. Like I said, it's not a big problem. One work around I've found is to name a folder on the external hard drive the same as the name I give the folder to import to and then choose this folder to back up to. I still get a subfolder inside that folder named Imported on...... but at least it's in the folder with my chosen name.
    Thanks again,

I have iTunes installd on that pc but I havnt connected my iPod to it at all. I tried to connect it to my new pc for the first time so I could make a backup of everything, but itunes sid I had to unlock my ipod to use it on itunes. I don't know it so icant make a backup.
    My ipod has very special things on like wedding pics/vids and other things which I dont have of.

    Is it possible to use a third party application (windows) to make a backup and itunes to restore?
    Or can I use a third party application to unlock my ipod?
    Or will I have to say goodbye to my only copy of things?
    I don't want to risk any more attempts. I have done a number of tries and I'm upto "ipod is disabled for 5 mins" I can still do more tries but I don't want the minutes to go higher
    Thanks for you help!

    The only data iv got backed up is the record of my purchased apps, which is only a small amount of help,

    Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized and duplicated by turingtest2 in the document: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Old computer crashed - don't want to lose music on iPod

    Hello folks, can someone please point me in the right direction so that I can recover without wiping all my music.
    The old computer terminally crashed, windows is 100% "dead" though my music is still on there (and on my iPod).
    I've put a 2nd large hard disk (F; drive) into another PC and hope to use that for iTunes. I've managed to copy all the music from the old dead PC (by using the disk as a slave in another system) onto this drive.
    Is there a way I can either:
    1. Install a "clean" iTunes onto the F: drive and copy everything from my iPod into it?
    2. Install iTunes and pick up the existing music library that I've copied across.
    3. Install iTunes and import everything I've copied reasonably automatically.
    It's a LOT of music - a large part of an 80GB iPod. The C; drive is too small, but the F: drive is 160GB.
    Thanks for any tips. I really don't want to copnnect my iPod and lose all its contents, and the battery is nearly flat too.

    *Is there a way I can ........ Install a "clean" iTunes onto the F: drive and copy everything from my iPod into it?*
    1). Install a new copy of iTunes and 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 your 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:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    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

  • I need to upgrade to iOSX 10.6 Snow Leopard but have a nonfunctional disc drive. Can I download the software or get it on my computer any other way?

    I gave my 2010 iMac to my father but it has a nonfunctioning disc drive (cannot read any type of disc). It's operating on OS X 10.5 Leopard. We need to upgrade him to at least OS X 10.7 Lion, but judging by what I've read so far, we cannot do that without first installing OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. I cannot find a way to download OS X 10.6, and having the disc shipped is not an ideal option. Does anyone know of a way I can download a legit copy? Another option — though I'm not sure it'll work — is to order the OS X 10.6 disc, transfer the files from the disc to a USB key on my newer Macbook Pro, then bring it over to my dad and install it on his iMac from the USB key. Does anyone have experience with this who knows if it will work or not? Thank you!

    1. No.
