Problem registering my iPod

It seems there's a problem with the Registration Information page when I choose to register my iPod. No matter what I do, it keeps saying that the postal code i've entered is incorrect:
"The postal code you entered is not valid for [?]."
I've chosen the correct province (i'm in Canada) and the postal code is correct, but it keeps saying it's not. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks.

Problems registering new iPod Nano :(

Hey guys.
I bought a new 8GB Nano today to replace the one that was stolen from me.
Anyway, when I try to register it via iTunes v 7.6.1.9, it allows me to select UK as my Country, but when I go to the next page, it says USA & won't accept my UK Postal Code as it expects a 5 digit ZIP I tried going back & changing my Country again, but the same thing happens when I click "Next". It just keeps defaulting to USA.
I'm using Vista SP1 & registering the new Nano on my existing (& only) iTunes account.
I hope that makes sense & you can help
Many thanks, Richard.

Haha, I love you
Thanks so much

Registering an ipod touch that went 1 month without backup?

Daughter got brand new ipod for 13th bday. I set it up for her on her brand new email and brand new apple ID. and opted out of icloud and registering at first. She went to town on wifi, lots of apps, took pictures, created artwork, loves her ipod for 1 month. Never used itunes for anything, she was able to do everything she wanted without itunes. But then... I bought her some songs for an upcoming road trip. They went into the iTunes library, great. When I plugged in her ipod to synch them, no device appeared in itunes. Windows sees it, but gives it the same name as her older sister's ipod which is weird because older sister still uses that ipod which is not connected. I realized I bought songs into my itunes acct (so that's 3 apple ids for 3 ipods, all running on 1 windows PC) so I'm bound to get beiber fever now. So I sign my apple id out of itunes and sign back in with her apple id to re-purchase the same songs again. Live and learn, us android guys are dumb like that. So now I'm signed into iTunes with her apple id, I still see the cool 80's songs ripped from my CD's, the new purchased beiber songs, and older sister's purchased songs too, but I'm signed in with the youngest's apple id, I don't get that, but will research how all the apple DRM works some other weekend when I have time. With her ipod connected there were still no devices listed in the left column of itunes,so I stopped/started the Apple Mobile service and restarted itunes and it popped up so I'm thinking now I can drag/drop songs to it. But no, it wants me to register the ipod now.
Here's my question:
Only options are "set up as new ipod" or "restore from backup". There is no backup for this newest ipod since purchasing and using it, but I see backups available for me and the older daughter. I figure those are bad choices. "Set up as new ipod" sounds bad to me as well, it sounds like all the photos, apps and saved files will be lost. So only option is to exit itunes. I have searched this forum and manuals but can't determine if "set up as new" is going to blow away all data on the device that was used prior to resigtering and make it a factory-fresh device with all the data wiped clean. I know I mentioned I'm an android guy, but don't hate, I do own an ipod touch. Actually it's my 2nd ipod, my classic went PVS. I'm just new to multiple users, DRM roadblocks, and this problem of using the ipod before registering it. Thanks for your time. No rush. Road trip is in a few days.

Take it to the store and find out. I wouldn't want to give you any confidence.

Problem syncronizing my iPod Shuffle. iTunes makes it look like I have 2.

I have a new iPod generation 2 Shuffle. For some reason wnem I connect it to my USB port, it makes it look like I have 2 different iPod Shuffles. The first one shown under iTunes is as I registered it and says "Brad's iPod". The second one just says "iPod", yet shows the same serial number as shown under the first one with my name. I keep getting an error message when the second pops up and says that it seems that the iPod is corrupted and suggests I select the option to reset everything as it was with original factory settings. It prevents mefrom synchronizing my iPod.
Why is this doing this? Is there anyway to delete the second "instance" of the iPod being shown under the name of simply "iPod"? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Brad

Registering My Ipod Help??

Alright, this may sound a little confusing, but I'm not sure what to do. I've tried on 3 occasions to register my new ipod. I connect it into iTunes and the welcome screen comes up. The only problem is the welcome screen is cut off, and i can't make the iTunes screen any larger, so i thnik the "register now" button is being cut-off because i can see the "register later" one. Does anyone know how i can make the screen bigger, or register my ipod elsewhere?

Open the Control Panel, click on Displays, and change the monitor's resolution to at least 1024 by 768.

I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

Won't let me register my ipod

just got the ipod nano, installed iTunes, and when i click on my iPod under "devices", the "let's get started' screen shows up, BUT - there isn't a bar to scroll left or right, only down, so the only button i see is 'register later'.
with the iTunes window in fullscreen, i can only see
1. register you ipod
2. Set up your store accoun
-i can't see past the n, that's where the screen cuts off...and no ammount of begging or hitting things will let me scroll over. i imagine that the option to register is just beyond my reach, in the area i can't see?
it's such a random problem, i have no idea what to do, and i think not being able to register is what's keeping me from being able to sync and put music on the ipod.

....wow, that was really easy. i had no idea i could so that. shame on me. thanks! ^_^

Registering multiple iPods on same computer

I currently have a 4G 2nd generation iPod that is registered to our computer. My husband just received a 4th generation iPod. Can you register multiple iPods onto the same computer?
My other question is if you purchase a used iPod, how do you register that and is there anything else we should consider when looking at purchasing a used iPod?
Thanks for any help.

Can you register multiple iPods onto the same computer?
Yes. Register each iPod as if it was the only iPod being used on that computer.
My other question is if you purchase a used iPod, how do you register that
If iTunes doesn't give you the option of registering it, click here and fill out the forms.
and is there anything else we should consider when looking at purchasing a used iPod?
Restore it when you connect it to the computer.

Problems syncing the iPod touch

My iPod Touch synced fine at first, but now all I get is an error message
"The iPod (xxx)cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." What am I doing wrong? I have tried resetting it, restarting it. Now tempted to 'relocate' it into the garbage .... Help!

I am having a similar problem with my iPod Touch. I have a fairly full iPod with 16Gb. capacity. I sync calendars, contacts music video and podcasts. For some reason when I include my selection of photos I get "This iPod cannot be synced. Unknown error -50."
If I leave the photos out it seems to work. Also, I have tried a restore, and now I have lost my notes ( I have the January software update)
Any ideas what is going wrong?

Problems Syncing New iPod Touch 5g

Ever since I got my new iPod a few days ago I have been having an extremely hard time syncing my iPod. The first time I went to plug it in to sync, everything worked perfectly and all my songs and videos from my previous iPod were on my new one. Now I try to put new songs onto it from some cd's I got and other stuff, but it just will not work. When I plug my iPod into my computer with the cord that came with it, an error message pops up onto my computer saying "USB Device not Recognized" so of course with that, iTunes does not recognize it either. The few times that I do plug my iPod in and iTunes recognizes it, it will sync for only a minute or so if even, and then an error will occur and the "USB Device no Recognized" sign will pop up once again. I decided after trying to get songs onto my new iPod and also after syncing a few times saw that it was putting multiples of my purchased songs onto my iPod that I would restore it and try it again, I've had no luck. This is beginning to get very frustrating because I have over 1,000 songs that I would like to put onto my iPod and I don't know what to do. Could someone possibly tell me if this has been happening to more than just me. How can I fix this? Also, sometimes when I plug my iPod in it will say to connect it to the 2.0 USB for it to work faster, the problem with this is that I have no idea where it is on my computer and I've tried plugging it into all of the USB outlets on my computer that I know of. If someone could please tell me what to do, it would save me, I don't know how much longer I can put up with this without throwing my computer out the window.

- First I would do:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
- Next try on anoterh computer to help determine if y have a computer or iPod/cable problem
- Also try another cable if you have one. Some 5G iPod where shipped with defective cables.
- It cold also be a computer problem. The iPod requires USB 2 ports.
- Does your computer have USB 2 portsd? How old is the iPod.
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

The "Cover Flow" / "Album Artist" duplicate albums problem on the iPod

Hi Guys,
I've made some research about this issue and got to some interesting conclusions.
DISCLAIMER:
1. I searched the web and found people describing this problem since 2006 till 2009 and the solution always revolved around not using the "Artist" and the "Album Artist" tags like they should be used.
2. I did a lot of testing, including re-writing the ID3 tags in different versions and formats to rule out any issues around the tags themselves.
3. If the stuff I'm going to describe is already well known than sorry about that, I just couldn't find it anywhere.
PROBLEM:
An album that has a single Album Artist and different Artists appears several times in the iPod Cover Flow although it looks just fine in iTunes.
Tagging the tracks as "Part of a Compilation" only partially solves the issue since the album will appear in the iPod Cover Flow as a Compilation showing up in the end and not together with the "Album Artist" like in iTunes and like it should.
It seems to be a simple issue around the way the iPod uses the "Album Artist" tag but it also seems to be around forever and it's strange Apple hasn't looked into it.
RESEARCH:
Since I just bought a new iPod Classic, I was again looking into this issue and now I was getting annoyed, strangely the behaviour wasn't the same for all the albums that were suffering from the problem. I found that when the Artist was a combination of, for example:
Album - AlbumX
Album Artist - ArtistX
Track 1 - ArtistX
Track 2 - ArtistX Feat. X
Track 3 - ArtistX
Track 4 - ArtistX Feat. Z
Track 10 - ArtistX Feat. XYZ
In the iPod Cover Flow I got ONLY TWO different albums, one with "ArtistX" and another one with "ArtistX Feat. X".
Well, this was very different from the normal behaviour when the artists are all completely different, in which case you get X amount of albums according to the X amount of different artist names you have.
CONCLUSION:
It seems to have something to do with the dot ".", I reached the conclusion that for Artist interpretation in the iPod when the Artist tag has a dot "." then it stops interpreting. That means that if you had a "." after the main artist name than it will show only once, like in the above example:
Album - AlbumX
Album Artist - ArtistX
Track 1 - ArtistX. <---- NOTICE THE DOT
Track 2 - ArtistX. Feat. X
Track 3 - ArtistX.
Track 4 - ArtistX. Feat. Z
Track 10 - ArtistX. Feat. XYZ
Then in the iPod Cover Flow it will show up only once as AlbumX - ArtistX.
I prefer to use the dots instead of just removing all the "Featurings and similar" since I can still see it normally if I play the track.
So, in the end, a combination like this in your "Artist" tag: "Album Artist"."Artist" would solve the problem in the iPod.
I would love for Apple to solve this issue and I hope this helps.
Has someone else noticed this or am I going crazy?
Thanks!

sometimes the official title of a release does include the Feat. Guest info.
Yes, but only in some (or many) cases. There seems to be no consistency here, as if Apple were paying no attention about where to put "feat. guest". And I guess most of the data in CDDB (Gracenote) still have "feat. guest" in Artist (correctly, in my opinion).
I quite agree that your workaround is the best workaround. I'm just too self-willed (obstinate?, I don't know the correct English) and don't want to pollute my Library with "wrong" data. Most of the problems would simply be solved if, just if Apple make iPods sort/group artists as iTunes do. Sorry but this is how I feel. I guess you can't help people like me. Thank you for your patience.
Anyway, we need a clear document from Apple describing what are the intended uses of various tags, and iTunes/iPods should obey this document. It seems for me that each Apple engineer is doing just what (s)he wants to do, without any guidelines.

Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

Hello,
I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
Hope this helps.

How do i register my Ipod to a different account

I registered my ipod to my itunes account. I then gave the ipod to my grandson. How do I delete it off my account a register the ipod to his account on a different computer?

Change the Apple ID used with a device - Settings > Store > tap on your AppleID
When he connects it to his iTunes library it will detect a different library is being used and wipe your content to be replaced with the content of his iTunes library.
