After complete reset of iPod after lockout, I cannot retrieve old gamecenter ID. how can I use my old account for gamecenter now that we have had to create a new username?
We had to create a new username for gamecenter using the same apple ID. We want to use the old gamecenter account....we have purchased in-app items for those games and now have no access to that account. How can I fix this? Or am I just out of luck and start over with the new username.....
You are running into the Activation lock and you need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account last used on the iPod.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
To recovery use of that account:
Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
If not successful, contact iTunes

When I connect my ipod to my computer it opens my documents and won't show up in my itunes and I have unistalled then reinstalled itunes and reset my ipod twice and it stills does the same thing how can I make it so that it shows up in my itunes?
Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

HT1535 Ipod Nano linked to a non existant library. How can I get my old songs to a new library?
I have an old Nano that I have about 300 songs on. I no longer have the PC with the library that this device was linked to. I have a new iPhone 5 and opened a new iTunes library to purchase songs for the new phone. How can I get the songs from the Nano to transfer to my new iTunes library that is syncd to my iPhone?
Hi Elk2bugle,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from your iPod to a new computer. See this article for the steps:

You can also download past purchases directly to your iPhone, or computer using iTunes:

My Ipod was stolen, got new one, how can I use my old playlist??
I want to use my old playlist since I had to change my ipod not by choice. It keeps telling me the new Ipod is not regonized to disconnect and try again.
How can I sync it??? I am afraid to erease my music already in there. It already happened the other way around, I got a new computer and the second
I plugged in my Ipod where all my music was it ereased all of my music!!!!!!!!!
Please help!!I says an Ipod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly.
Please disconnect and reconnect the Ipod, the try again. I wish this was simpler : ( I am pretty bummed already about
someone stealing my 5th generation wich I loved. I really appreciate you trying to help. : )
About my Ipod that got eraesed. So, if I have an Ipod with all this music and I start a new iTunes on a new computer this will just erease all of my music and I start from scratch?? it sound so unfair. I still have that Ipod, is 3 generation I think, I have hopes all that music is in there somewhere. -
I wish to charge my IPod but do not have my computer with me. can I charge the IPod with the plug in wall charger that I have for my IPad2?
Yes. However, the output of the iPad's wall charger may be a little less than what it would be if it were an actual iPod wall charger, so it may charge a little bit slower. I'm not 100% positive though.

How can I use my old iPhone 3GS as just an iPod.
I updated my old iphone 3GS to iOS 5.1 and now I can't use it as just an ipod. It won't sync without a SIM card. I don't need one. Can someone help me out?
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406.
Edit: You'll need a SIM card from the carrier it is locked to. Doesn't have to be an activated SIM card but needs to be in the phone to re-activate it. If you don't have one, ask you carrier if they have a deactivated one you can use. -
1 Shuffle, 1 Ipod Video........How can I use both?
My son has a shuffle that was started on his Dad's computer, and I have a Ipod Video that was started on a laptop. I now have a new computer. I found a way to pull the music files off the shuffle (haven't tried the video one yet..has another problem that needs to be fixed) How can I get the shuffle and ipod video to run off the new computer normally?
You just need to make sure that the new computer has all the music on it, and all the software needed...
iPod Updater
iTunes
Then simply connect the iPods. They should be recognized and update.
Know that you can use the iPod with video with multiple computers, but you cannot use the iPod shuffle with multiple computers. All your music for the shuffle will need to be on the new computer
This may also be of use...

How can add captions or title to a picture now that iPhoto doesn't work after updating to iOS 8.
I Have updated to iOS 8 and iPhoto is dismissed. How can add a caption /title (not in the image) like I was used with iPhoto? Photos has not this feature.
please, could anyone help me. I'm a real beginner. Thanks,I Have updated to iOS 8 and iPhoto is dismissed. How can add a caption /title (not in the image) like I was used with iPhoto? Photos has not this feature.
please, could anyone help me. I'm a real beginner. Thanks,
The photos.app does not (yet) have the option to add captions or tags. It is not possible right now. You can however search for the captions you added previously using the search field. You can also search for album names. So, as a work-around, put photos that should have the same caption into an album with a name like the caption.
See: Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8
You may want to send feedback to Apple, that captions and tags are essential and need to be added in an update. Use this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback -
I just bought an iPod Classic, and in the shop, the demo model had a "Voice Recorder" option on the menu, and I read somewhere that my ipod could be used as a voice recorder, and I was just wondering how to do this? Do I need a microphone??
Yes, you'll need to purchase a microphone for it. Just do a simple Google search for iPod Classic microphone, and should get a number of good hits. Here is one such product that would work.

I have an ipod mini. My computer crashed and no longer have software. Can I still use my mini to go into itunes and buy music? I have a new computer, windows 7. Thanks.
Yes, you should still be able to use your iPod Mini on your new Windows 7 PC. Simply download iTunes from Apple's website and you should be good to go. You don't need the original software that came with it anymore as it's now bundled with the iTunes application.

How can I restore my old photos after a recovery if not backed up through itunes or icloud
Here's the story. I dropped my phone in a swimming pool. It did not start at first. I layed the phone in a bag of uncooked rice and after 5 days it seemed like it was going to startup again. However something was wrong with teh battery so we ordered a new battery. The phone started up with the new battery but it wanted to go into that recovery mode. I did go through the backup procedure in iTunes and then recovery. The phone is now starting up fine but it is blank from apps and photos like a new phone. I did not have any photos backed up over iCloud before this happened. However shouldn't the photos still be on teh memory card of the phone? I thought the recovery process just resets the phone to factory standard, not deleting my photos. How can I get my old photos out of the phone? They are not in the DCIM when I log on through Windows explorer as well.
What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

After I edited the SQL in a dataset, I can't use the query builder in any datasets that I create.
Is there a way to reset BI Publisher Enterprise 11 so that I can use the query builder again instead of having to write out all of the SQL? I know that I can't use the query builder for the dataset that I edited the sql in but I would like to use the query builder for new datasets.
Thanks,Hi J_Constantine,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPad is restarting and not responding sporadically. You have already attempted some great troubleshooting steps and I think you are on the right track. Holding the home button is one step that you take while placing your device in recovery mode to restore. This is the method that I would suggest to restore. For complete information on how to place your device into recovery mode, please reference the attached article.

I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this? It keeps telling me that there are missing files, too. If I upgrade to Elements 12 or beyond, will this fix the problem?
You can't sign in because there is nothing to sign in to. For PSE 10 the only sign in was to photoshop.com, which has been dead and gone for a year and half. Just skip the sign in. Reinstalling will not change this.
PSE 8, 9, 10 Can’t Sign In, Error 404 | Barbara's Sort-of-Tech Blog
PSE is locking up because it's looking interminably for the non-existent photoshop.com server. -
