4th gen U2 ipod-please help

I have a 4th gen U2 ipod for several years with no problems. Recently it began skipping song in shuffle mode. Yesterday it became completely frozen. I've manged to restore/repair. After repairing I'm now getting a 1 volume could not be repaired message.
It will not resynch my itunes library to the ipod.
What now? Thanks!

You may need to restore it.

Can't connect brand new iPod touch 4th gen to iTunes, please help!

I just got a new iPod touch, 16 gig 4th generation. I'm going through the setup process. Once I get to the option to connect through a network, I hit a problem. My internet at home requires a MAC address to be "invited" into the network before I can connect, however I can't get the MAC address until I complete setup!
So I choose the "Connect to iTunes" option instead. My computer recognizes that there is an iPod connected to it, but iTunes won't pick it up. There is nothing under "Devices".
What do I do?? ):

I just retried a step I missed earlier in the articles before and ran into a problem here:
#5 Verify that the apple mobile devi usb driver is installed
> for windows 7
> if the apple mobile device usb driver is not listed
> if only Apple iPod appears
> for windows 7
I went through all these steps until #8: Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. At this point it tries to load for a bit and I get this message:
"Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. (Apple Mobile Device USB Driver)
Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)"
As for your reply, I did indeed already try removing and reinstalling all the Apple programs with unfortunately no effect.
When I do the sync test, I get that one or more things failed: iTunes Helper not running and No iPod found.

4th gen 8gb ipod touch tiny memory

I have a 4th gen 8gb ipod touch and I can only put around 28 albums on, my dad has a 3rd gen 8gb ipod touch and can put 58+ albums on it, why is my memory so small in comparison?

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
Also, the music can have different compression. You can go to the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes and check the box that says "Convert higher bitrate songs to XX kbps ACC. A good compression is 128

4th Gen 64G ipod - I'm happy

I know forums are usually biased toward people who complain, but,
I ordered a 4th gen 64G iPod, with engraving, as soon as they were announced on the 1st Sept.
I'm based in the UK and expected delivery a week or two later, I got mine on the 13th Sept, so that was within 2 weeks, even with my personal engraving.
I'm as happy as "Larry" I just love it.
Only complaint, - I can't leave it alone !!!!

Good, still on my first charge !
I'm from the 'Old School' and still believe you need to run your device down to zero charge now and then to 'condition' the battery.
I know people say this is garbage with the latest battery types, but I have done this with my 2nd gen iPod, and even after the 4.1 update, I get good battery times although it is almost 2 years old.
I bought the original from the 5th Avenue store in NY, while on a holiday with my daughter in 2008, it still works, but the kids try to take it from me, so I got the new one without telling them, it's mine and only mine!

Hi, I have just bought another ipod, I have now a 60GB video ipod and a new 8GB ipod. Does it pose any problem when synchronising ? Can they have different names ? Thks

You can name your iPod whatever you like. If you are connecting a second iPod for your own use, just connect it to your computer and it will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually.
When using a small capacity iPod like the Nano with a large library, you can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - All songs and Playlists in iTunes 7). This would allow you to create a playlist specifically for your Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod Nano (around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB). You can read more about playlists at these links:

I have a 4th gen 20G ipod whose hard drive has died. Are replacement hard drives available through the apple store?

I don't think Apple will do that repair for you, because the iPod is too old. I believe the hard drive type used in 4th gen and older iPods is no longer produced. There may be non-Apple shops who can do the repair, but they may be using a working part salvaged from a used iPod.
If you want to do the repair work yourself, and you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Original
(There are probably also YouTube videos on the topic.)
NOTE: There are two hard drive physical sizes. The thick version has two platters, and corresponds to the "thick" iPods (with double storage capacity). A 4th gen 20GB model should be the thin version. The hard drive used in iPods up to 4th gen should work interchangeably, but 5th gen and later iPods use a different type.
I have a 4th gen iPod that started out as a 20GB. The hard drive failed, so I put a compact flash card on an adapter in there. The adapter is like this one (I bought it a few years ago so it's probably not the same seller)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Compact-Flash-CF-SSD-To-Toshiba-IPod-1-8-inch-Adapte r-Black-/121174875639
The compact flash card is standard; I bought the cheapest one. I currently have an 8GB card in there, but prices have come down, so I may get a 64GB card soon. It works great with the 8GB card. No more hard drive spin-up delay. Battery lasts longer. It's lighter. And it should be more shock resistant.
The only mod I needed to make on the adapter was to bend over two pins 90º, where you place a jumper to set the drive to "master." The adapter plus CF card is actually smaller and thinner than just original 1.8-inch Toshiba hard drive; I used some thin foam packing material (cut to the right shape) to take up the excess space and ensure the adapter and card did not become disconnected.
The 4th gen iPod has excellent sound, compared to some later iPods.

TS1814 I have a 4th gen. IPod Touch with IOS4 and i want to update it, but when I hit the Update button its says "contacting the IPod software server" and then after about 5 seconds it says "ITunes could not connect to the IPod software servers". Please h

I have a 4th gen. Itouch wiht IOS4 and i want to update it, but when i click the update button in ITunes it says "contacting IPod software server" and it looks like it is loading. However, after about 5 seconds it stops and says "ITunes could not connect to the IPod software server". I found the apple webpage that is supposed to help me, but when i went to the LAN settings in the control panel i found that 'Automatically detect settings" was already checked. I do not know what to do, Please help.

If yo mean the iPod will not connect to your wifi network:
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?
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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How can i fix my IPOD TOUCH 2ND Gen Battery!Please help

Help! I dont know what happened buht wen i tried to Use my Ipod This morning It Didnt Work!! I tried every thing nothing works! Wont even charge Nothing COMES up. Please help i DONT have money to send it to Apple because they pay to much . If you can help thank you

the 2nd gen ipod battery is not easy for beginners to replace themselves. It needs to be soldered. so if you dont want to give it to apple to fix because they are too expensive you can try another company that you send it to them, they fix it and you get it back.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4 Gs. They do not fix yours.

Replacement Question: Ipod 20G 4th Gen Vs. Ipod 30G 5th Gen

The 20G non-color display Ipod that I owned for 18 months died mysteriously last Sunday. I lifted it out of the charge dock after it fully charged and the click wheel had become completely unresponsive. The video display was fully functional.... but otherwise it wouldn't go. I tried resetting about 5 times in all and did full restore and nothing changed. It's pretty much dead for no reason. (And no, I didn't buy the Apple Care plan because I hadn't expected it to crap out on me after just 18 months.
I considered having it repaired by Apple only to find out that Apple won't repair it. Or the guy on the phone says that they don't repair anything that doesn't have a care plan. (Sidebar: This guy was the rudest support agent I've ever, ever spoken to Apple. He actually said 'well, I don't know what to say to someone who didn't bother to read the fine print.' I hung up on him right about then.)
So, now I'm faced with replacing it. None of the other non-Apple brands appeal to me and I've discovered that really, as sad it is- I can't live without my Ipod. But I'm not sure whether to buy a 20g refurb or just bite the bullet and spend the additional 80 bucks for the 5th gen 30g.
Reasons Why I Should Get A Refurb:
*I have all the 20g accessories (charge dock, armband) and can't afford and don't want to replace all that stuff with 30g stuff.
* I have absolutely no interest in the ability to watch videos on Ipod on a 2" screen. I suppose this is blasphemy but I'm a simple girl when it comes to her tech. It needs to play my music and occassionally store a .doc file- it doesn't need to be tricked out.
* It's 80 bucks cheaper than the new 30g.
* I'm still in love with my 20g even though it clearly doesn't love me.
Reasons To Get a 30G:
* Apple is/has phasing out the 4th gen and all of its accessories. I will be relegated to sale bins and combing Ebay for "vintage" 4th gen stuff very soon.
* Apple Care Plan: Okay, I've seen the light- but can I even get a plan with a refurb?
* The refurb could crap out on me within mere minutes of it finding its way to me.... Unlikely but considering how fast mine died, I'm gunshy.
* Smaller Ipod- the 4th gens aren't that large but I'm told the 5th gens are less clunky.
In truth, I'm not sure what to do and I'd appreciate input and feedback from others on your experience with any of the issues in the above post.

A Few Questions/Problems With My New iPod *PLEASE HELP*

Hello! I just received my first iPod (4th Gen, 4GB, Red Nano) two days ago (Christmas Eve) and have so far been fairly happy with it. However, I'm experiencing a few problems with it and am hoping that someone could help me.
Firstly, a few of the album covers on my iPod are just black squares. I've read other complaints about this on the forums, but haven't seen any solutions. What can I do to fix this?
Second, I can't figure out how to put my songs in order. On iTunes, it allows me to put songs in alphabetical order, but being that most of my songs are part of full albums, I want my songs to be in the order of when they play on the actual albums. When I try to drag my songs into their correct places, I'm not able to.
Also, is there any way to delete the games that my iPod came with? I think they might be taking up too much room for my liking...
OK, well if you can help or add some extra tips to getting started with my iPod, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Bump...
