Hello xerxes.nashion,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your MacBook Pro. I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:

Is there any way to find my ipod if stolen

is there any way to find my ipod if stolen

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

Is there a way to find all highlights made in the macbook ibooks library in the case that you cant remember the book in which the highlight was made?

Is there a way to find all highlights made in the MacBook iBooks library in the case that you cant remember the book in which the highlight was made?

Some things that might help:
1. Only the most recently used apps actually occupy memory (used to be the most recent 4, but may have changed in the latest iPhones). After 4 (or so), IOS writes them out of active memory, as it does for even the latest 4 if there's no activity for a long time. So the business of closing all the open apps, apart from the most recent ones doesn't make a difference. Tis article has a good explanation:
http://www.speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/misconceptions-about-ios-multitasking.html
2. There are settings about background app activity that might help:
- Settings, General, Background App Refresh controls which apps can update their data in the background
- Settings, Notifications controls which apps can tell you things, which they have to wake up to do.
- Settings, Privacy, Location Services controls which apps monitor your location - another activity that uses resources
Hope some of that helps

HT1384 I plug my ipod into charge and it says its charging but actually isnt saving the power when i unplug it, please help what do I do?

When I plug it in and the green bar comes up it doesnt go up as it is being charged, so it says its charging but doesnt save the charge.
Help what do I do?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running?

I burned a playlist to a data CD using itunes 11 but what is best way to get it import it into another computer with itunes running? I get an "X" when trying to copy to the "automatically add to itunes" folder on the 2nd computer.

ok... so i i just made sure all my music is all together in 1 folder and i am going to trash my old music folder that is in the itunes folder... and follow your directions - let itunes start w/new library and bring my music in. Well, last little hurdle/question. I noticed that the place where my itunes library is - on an external drive doesnt have much space left on it. The place where i gathered all my music together in order to start fresh - is a different external drive and has LOTS of free space on it.
SO... i now would like to just keep all that freshly compiled clean music right where it is but in advanced preferences I want to point to that new folder on the drive that has so much more space. So... should i delete the old music then go into itunes with a blank library and change the folder in preferences - quit and go back in and then follow your steps to loading my music? If i change the setting of where itunes looks for the music - that doesn't wipe out the old stuff... it just mixes it all up together right? I dont want that!!
i promise this is the last question - i would love to fix this problem tonight and just be DONE!
Thanks in advance for your patience and knowledge!!

HT1657 I just watched two FREE movies, both about Audi at Le Monse. Is there a way to find other FREE movies at the iTunes store?

Zion,
This worked! ...about 50%, but I suppose that's better than nothing. I went into iTunes on my old username and downloaded the 300+ songs to my library but then for some reason when I went to transfer them to my iPhone it would only transfer like 120 or so of them. I'm not really sure why but I'll continue to work on it. Thanks so much for the help.
FYI - if anyone else reads this bc they have the same problem. If you choose to go this route and download previous purchases from your old account you cannot auto download any content on your new(er) apple ID for 90 days after the purchase download. Just something to keep in mind, but for me, it was totally worth it. I have no qualms about manually transferring the songs to my iPhone for the next 3 months if it meant getting the rights to transfer all my old songs to my iPhone.
Thanks again!

My sleep/wake button is sinking in so its not working is there any way to turn my ipod off

nope. If your under warranty apple will cover it. If not find a repair shop. You can try looking for an app but if it turns off then you cant turn it back on!

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation.I want to purchase games from the app store like Temple Run but it says I can't.Is there a way to update this ipod?

I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation. I bought a Itunes card and when I went to add game apps(like Temple Run) to my Ipod it said I couldn't.Is there a way to upgrade this ipod without having to buy a new one to be able to play the games?

You can update it to 4.2.1
Open itunes, connect ipod. If there is an update available, then it will prompt you to update.

Is there a way to find my ipod touch even though I didn't register it on iclound

is there a way to locate my ipod touch even thought I didn't register it on icloud

Only the old fashioned way
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Is there any way to find my iPod touch without Find My iPhone?!

I lost my iPod touch at a fair and coincidentally, trying to clear storage on it, earlier that day I uninstalled Find My iPhone. Is there any way I can track/find it? Useful answers are most appreciated. May God Bless.

No. You have to do it on the device.
However, you do not need any app on the iPod. All yu needed to do was to go to Settings>iClould and turn on FIndMyiPod.If wifi is on and connect go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. You can also wipe it and have it play a sound. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.

My ipod touch says its charging but it hasnt turned on after all night of charging.

I have a white ipod 8 g and last night it started acting weird, it said it was too hot after i was using it for about 10 mins, and before it was working just fine. Then I plugged it into a adapter that I got with my iPad, and now it wont turn on. This has happened with my ipad but now it's fine, I don't know what to do! I've tried resetting it, and it still wont work. I've also tried many outlets, cords, and even my ihome but it still wont work.

Try here:

The high temperature warning you received, unless you were in a hot envirnment, is not a good sign. You may have hardware damage and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an APlle store is in order.

I got a new computer and downloaded itunes to it, is there a way to get my song from my old computer with itunes to my new one without having to redownload them all

I was hoping i could just sign in on my new one and get all the songs to it with out redownloading them.

It is a reasonable question - we increasingly see the ability to access "my data" through the cloud rather than relying on local storage. In the case of iTunes:
You can, in most cases, access and re-download previous iTunes Store purchases
If you subscribe to iTunes Match, your complete library - within the 25,000 song limit imposed by the service - will be available to you,
That being said, the most complete and reliable method is still to copy your complete library (database, media, artwork, ...) from the older computer to the new one. If you've configured iTunes so that all your music, etc., is stored within the iTunes Media folders then you can just copy the C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes folder and all its contents from the old computer to the corresponding location on the new one. Depending on the size of your library you can copy it across a network, using a thumb drive or an external (USB) hard drive.
If you have media stored elsewhere on the old computer the process is a little more complex.

I have a mac os 10.6 when I try to update firefox from 3.6 it says its still being used and won"t close it so I can install the upgrade..What can I do?

I can't get the old version to quit so that I can install the newer firefox update...what can I do because I keep crashing! What am I doing wrong?, I've tried probably ten or more times.

If this does not work:

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
