  • My ipod touch 4th gen works on itunes but not show on windows do i need a driver?

    When first time i connect my ipod touch says that the driver for this hardware did not pass windows logo test so i did not installed, and now i need the driver so windows can use it as a storage device anybody knows where or how to get that driver back. helpppp. 

    iPod Touches do not have a disk mode.  However, you can se the iPod in Windows explorer in order to move photos from the iPod to your computer.  You probably need to reinstall iTunes and install the unsigned driver.

  • I'd like to connect my ipod touch (3rd generation) to my ipad2, but I don't see each other through bluetooth. What should I do?

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect an iPod touch 3rd (ios 5.1.1) generation to control my KEYNOTE's presentations in my iPad2 (ios 6.1.3). I activated bluetooth in both but they do not see each other. Is there any specific procedure to allow the connection or it is a problem of compatibility between versions of ios?
    I appreciate any input.

    iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth ON.
    iPad: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth.
    On the iPad running Keynote, open your Keynote presentation.
    Tap the Tools icon in the toolbar.
    In the Tools menu, tap Settings.
    In the Settings menu, tap Remote.
    In the Remote Settings menu, turn on Enable Remotes.
    On the iPhone, open the Keynote Remote app.
    In the iPhone Settings window, tap New Keynote Link.
    On the iPad, the name of the iPhone appears in the Remote Settings window; tap Link.
    On the iPad, enter the four digit number that is displayed on the iPhone, and then tap Done.
    iPhone: Open the Keynote Remote app. You can begin to control your slideshow from your iPhone by tapping Play Slideshow.

  • HT1766 i just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use 6.2GB (other on Summery) no App. sync. I don't have enough space to sync any application!?

    I just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use up 6.2GB show from the iTune Summery as "OTHER 6.2 GB" so I don't have enoght space to sync any much application for my kids. How do i do? I already make sure it has no Picture, songs ...all only app that come with the factory default. How do I do? or something wrong..
    I got iPhone and another ipod touch (32GB) but it has a lot of space available...I just can't fix it out what OTHER  6.2GB used came from?

    Other can be files that the iPod has "lost" or can no longer recognise.
    So either you bought this second hand and it had someone else's stuff on it, or you were unlucky and the first Sync of your iPod to iTunes resulted in a lot of "Other".
    Conect the iPod to iTunes and on the Device/Summary pane (tab) look for and select the Restore button.

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'

    You have dine some great troubleshooting so far and you are on the right track I would look at a restore now but not from the backup. I would try as a new device... This is to see if it is a software or hardware issue...

    It's possible that the message you got was to update the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) firmware...and that something might have gone wrong during the upgrade.
    Let's start by performing a "factory default" reset on the AX to get it back to it's original "out-of-the-box" condition.
    Then, let's set it up to work with your cable modem...
    AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling (optional)
    - Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)
    Setup the AX
    With the network components powered down, set up the AX, using the AirPort Admin Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Create a closed network (unchecked)
    - Wireless Security: Not enabled
    - Channel: Automatic
    - Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
    Internet tab
    - Connect Using: Ethernet
    - Configure: Using DHCP
    - WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
    Network tab
    - Distribute IP addresses (checked)
    - Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
    Do not, at this point, set up any security (i.e., WEP/WPA encryption, closed network, etc.) to first make sure the AX is operating properly. Try to access the Internet wirelessly with your MacBook. If you're successful, go ahead and add any security features you wish.

  • I didn't create a pass code for my iPod touch, I want to change it but I don't know what is the original pass code?

    I never created a password for my iPod touch, it wants me to enter the original one to change it? I never entered one in the first place...default?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

  • Can't update to latest iTunes, ipod touch not appearing in current iTunes but iPod classic is.  HALP!

    Hi there.
    This is driving me absolutely mad!
    I am not completely computer illeterate but I don't want to go poking around in any registry files and things like that as I would most likely break the Universe if I did.
    Basically, for some random reason a few months ago iTunes wanted me to download it's new version.  I said ok and it proceeded to do it's thing.  Then I heard the 'I'M BROKEN' sound that my laptop makes when something goes wrong or there is an error and it's saying that there is an error with something or other and it can't complete my request to update.
    After that I have not been able to connect my ipod touch 4th gen.  At all.  To anything.  I've tried downloading alternatives to iTunes to see if I could work around things that way but it seems my ipod won't connect to them either. 
    I've fiddled around with USB's, buying new ones, going into my computer and poking around in there to see if I can do something, all to no avail.
    Strange thing is, everything recognises my ipod classic.  Now yes, I could just use that but I want to use my touch! It cost enough, I might as well use it.  If I can't I'll sell it and I'll never buy anything from Apple again as it seems that if one thing goes wrong, there is no way around it.
    I have scoured these boards for answers.  I have followed pretty much every single solution that Apple can give via the FAQ's and troubleshooting things. 
    I have also tried connecting my touch to a friends computer and it is recognised there so it's an itunes or laptop problem and not the ipod.  It still connects as a camera, my USB drivers are up to date.  I've tried deleting and then reinstalling itunes and that doesn't work as it WON'T INSTALL. 
    I was thinking that perhaps formatting my ipod might help but there is no point as it's not the ipod that is the problem.
    If anyone wants me to screenshot the error message then I will be more than happy to do so.
    I just really want some help!
    Thanks to whoever reads this =D
