Any others having problem with ipod on a Dell

I have a mini and nano ipod. When I plug it in, it say's "UBS device unreconized". I know the port is good as I use my camera cable on it fine. We've used one of my neighbors computers (not a Dell), and I can load itunes and not get the message. We also have an old compaq computer that doesn't have internet service and am able to charge the shuffle on it. I tried my dad's newer computer (also a Dell), and have the same problem that it says "UBS unreconized" Neither Dell will even charge the shuffle or nano....is there anything specific with Dell computers that might be causing this? Very frustarted!! Thanks

We have a Dell computer. I bought my husband a Nano for Christmas. Since February, we've had problems, and have had to replace it multiple times. Apple first said it was a bad USB port. Replaced that and the problem continues. Now Apple says it must be a bad motherboard or power supply. The computer is only about a year old, and I have no other problems. The last one was only plugged into the new USB port one time (to initially load it), and after that was only plugged into the Apple wall charger, and it still died a month later. According to the guys at the Genius Bar, it could have happened from only charging it that one time on the computer, even though it didn't die for another month.
Whatever the problem is, it completely hoses the Nano.

Having problems with iPad 2 calendar , anyone else with this problem?

What kind of problems? I am having no issues. Have you tried quitting the app completely and then restart the iPad?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or reboot the iPad?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If those don't help, post back with your specific issues.

Have you been having problems with ipod nano 3rd gen?

Have you been having problems with your ipod nano 3rd gen? got a windows xp computer? is your pc not recognizing it? I think i may have the solution. After 2 2 hour calls to apple tech support they were stumped. we reset it again and again, reinstalled itunes again and again. and they had no solution for me. I went to my device managerand there was a device called (apple Ipod USB driver) with a yellow exclamation point. I tried updating driver but to no avail. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing. But then I had an epiphany. I went to the device manager right clicked the apple ipod usb device clicked properties then update driver. Hardware wizard went up and I chose not to install automatically. and i chose to install driver manually. and then I installed a generic usb mass storage driver in its place and presto!!! it worked! it was instantly recognized by itunes and it took me to the registration page. I did what the apple support team wasn't able to do for 4 hours. I wonder if they're accepting applications... Anyway i hope this helps anyone out there cause i know i went through a lot of stress.

the driver is just a regular usb mass storage driver. it's in your computer. it's just a matter of installing it manually where it saya to include the location of the driver click browse and choose c:\windows\system32

Having problem with Ipod Sound

I am having a huge problem with the sound for my Ipod. I was recently at a concert and using my car audio conversion in both my Ipod and my girlfriends, when I unplugged it from hers to mine I lost all sound to my Ipod when I plug in my headphones now or when I put the receiver back into the bottom. I have reset and restored it and run the diagnostics check to see if it could be the USB or the headphone Jack. Both are in working order but I am still not getting any sound to my Ipod. Can anyone help me with this problem? My Ipod is my life staple for my morning commuet.

You can try to following to rule out/fix a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Any ideas on problem with ipod and alpine cde-9881 car stereo

I have an ipod 60gb v 1.2.1 and a new Alpine car stereo with Ipod connecting cable. When connected, the stereo message reads IPod searching. It never assumes control of ipod,or quits searching. I have reset and restored my ipod, had the apple geek at genius bar check it out. My ipod does not play on the alpine ipod ready stereo in my husband's car, nor the stereos in Car Toys. My husband's 30 gb ipod plays on the stereo in his car AND my car. Help! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Alpine is telling me it could be a software problem with my ipod, and to revert to an earlier version of itunes. But my husband's ipod works in my car. So I did a restore using his computer and itunes....no luck. am interested in any ideas on a possible solution!!
Thanks in advance

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

Hello, are there many others having problems with creating Genius Playlists from their iPhone 5's

Hello People,
are there many others experiencing problems creating Genius Playlists from their iPhone 5's???
I have a 64GB Black iPhone 5 and a 32GB White iPhone 5, I have recently performed a fresh install (wiped phone memory and installed Apps individually again) yet even after this and no less then several calls to Apple I am still unable to create a genius playlist on either phone. The message I receive after hitting the Genius "star" is "The operation couldn't be completed. Operation timed out" Operation timed out."
I have tried this also on 3G and receive the same message........

I wish Apple would have provided more detail on how it worked. I wouldn't have posted this if I new that SMS & Mac Calling had nothing to do with Bluetooth pairing.
You mean like this? Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite
Please note how Apple articulates this though.
Check your settings
Check the following settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
Make sure your iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi and comparing the name of the network each is on.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps and make sure Handoff is on.
Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Sometimes things have to be explained in more detail for the general consumer who has been conditioned for decades to think about wireless cellphone audio / light data to [anything other device else] connectivity in a certain fashion. That is to say Bluetooth dependent ...
For the non-technical person, which overwhelmingly many Apple users are, they would see that bulleted point and think if Bluetooth is not paired and active, then they would not received the full scope of their Continuity features.
It would have been better for the copywriter who wrote this to (*) footnote this entry and explain that while Bluetooth recognition may be necessary between Yosemite and iPhone, SMS Push to iMessage and Mac Calling does not require an actively paired connection as these functions are dependent on iCloud and both devices being registered on the same WiFi network.
Thank you to all who helped me get my mind around and figure this out.
It has also opened my eyes to how iCloud has become a critical link in Apple's overall walled garden and business strategy.

Are others having problems with Lion and btinternet mail ?

Since using OS-X Lion many odd things have been happening , especially with Mail ( 5.1).
The problems may be related to the combination of Lion/Mail 5.1 and btinternet as my ISP.
1. Since using Lion, with (Mac) Mail I have been unable to use BTinternet's 'POP' mail - although my local Apple Store Genius tells me that it was not a good choice and I'm well rid of it - in favour of IMAP mail
2. BT has, recently improved the security of its IMAP mail, so perhaps IMAP is the best choice. In any event Mac Mail under Lion appears to take over as soon as bt is mentioned and signs me up automatically for IMAP. Even if I override the automatic process it still will not let me go to bt's POP mail.
3. HOWEVER ( it's a big one!), whilst the incoming IMAP mail seems O.K. it frequently won't let me send mail. It simply puts it into drafts when I click send.
4. Sometimes, if I go away and make a coffee ( not mandatory) and come back ten minutes later it will have sent the mail - but leaves a copy in 'drafts'. I know it has sent it because it appears in the Send box - despite there being no sign on any movement showing sending when I leave the machine ...
5. I have a Macbook and a desktop machine ( Mac Pro). Both have the same problem - both have the same settings.
6. I was able to demonstrate the problem to a Genius at the Apple Store. We deleted the account and rentered it and had the same problem - no sending.
In a 45 minute sending we could not solve it.
7. I went home and found that the drafts in Mail on the desktop had all gone and had been sent.
8. Today, as I write outgoing mails and click send they go straight into the Drafts again.
Any ideas? I really can't face an hour on the phone to an Mac incompetent in Mumbai .....
My btinternet webmail is behaving normally.
Gordon

I do the same, I have different backgrounds for each desktop. I don't have any problem with it. You could try holding the mouse over prefferances and selecting options , This Desktop, and do the same in each desctop and changing the desktop background in each.
You may allready do this, but it could be worth a shot to do it again.

Anybody else having problem with iPOD TOUCH ios4.3.3. deleting the special speakers menu on the Zeppelin Air ?

The latest ios firmware update for the iPOD TOUCH (4.3.3.) has accidently removed the special speakers menu from the B&W Zeppelin Air.
How can this problem be reported to Apple to fix it ??????????????????

I recently purchased an infiniti FX35 with the ipod integration. After visiting the local apple store "Genius Bar" and speaking on the phone with an "apple expert"; neither the genius bar or the apple expert heard of such an integration option in new cars being sold. They wanted more information from me about how it work rather than them assisting me with my problem.
Anyway, after alot of experimenting I got my ipod touch 2G running firmware 3.1 to work somewhat consistently.
Turn off wi-fi on the touch, power off then back on, go the ipod menu and select playlist. Attach the touch to the infiniti supplied cable through the dock connector. Select the ipod option from dash board. Playlist, songs, artists, etc will appear on the dash display and begin playing.

Am Having Problem with iPod 15GB

My iPod died today. It froze up during play, and I reset it, only to find that when it started again, it would play the Apple logo and the !folder sceen back over and over in a loop, not allowing anything to load. I couldn't even turn it off and had to wait for the battery to run out before it would stop the loop. During that loop, the only thing available to do was to reset it, which did absolutely nothing at all.
Now that it is off, I have it on an AC charger, but I have no idea if its actually charging as as soon as I plugged it in, it started the loop again. No battery/charging icons show at all.
I have read the manual and checked out the icon. I've reset it, TRIED to update it- I downloaded the 2006-1-10 update, but when I try to update its software, the iPod turns itself off and the updater says it "can't mount iPod"
UPDATE: I just managed to get it into disc mode, and it now shows a charging battery icon. If anyone has an explanation for why my iPod is doing this, i'd be really grateful.
Its not as if it never gets used or anything - I drain its battery every day and fully recharge it at night.
It is also used as an external hard drive and holds 3GB of data along with about 2GB of music - its 15GB limit isn't anywhere near full. The model is A1040 15GB Windows XP configured iPod.

Thanks. The computer doesn't recognise the iPod very well anymore. I tried updating and restoring, but it failed during the restore, and I now have a half screwed iPod, that is, it no longer displays the !folder, but has all its menus and whatnot back. All my music and data is gone, and I can't load anything on it at all.
When I opened my computer to check the iPod's properties, it showed the F: Removable Drive icon, but when I rightclicked on it, it refused to respond and I had to CtrlAltDelete to get out of it. Same thing happened to the Updater. I tried all the updaters I had to no avail.
I'm doing a diagnostic mode HDD scan, and am hoping that it is going to show up something more substantial than the evidence of dead iPod I have now. At least I know its dead, then.
I'm already sick and tired of trying to fix it, so I have a new 5th gen 30GB model winging its way to me.
Thanks for the help, though. Its much appricated.

Having problem with Ipod touch

Hello I got a Ipod 4th generation and its not able to run all the apllication downloaded from app store. The Ipod is also running slow, therefore can you please send me information how to fix the problems.
Thanks & Regards
Mahen

Without knowing what happens or does not happen all I can suggest is:
See:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.
Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
Restore to factory settings/new iPod
You are not addresing Apple here. We are allj ust users like yourself. You have to come back to the forum to see suggestions

Still having Problems with IPOD mini

I formated, updated and restored my iPod Mini; I cahnge computer, virtually everything that was discussed here and still ahving a problem.
I solved the problem of not recognized in itunes but appered in windows as disk drive. Now, when I'm uploading songs, I get to load only a fex (15~20), after that, it appears a message on the ipod display for low battery, then I go back and connect it to the AC adapter and the battery appears fully charged. Then i try again and the same problem.
I remember have run a chkdsk on the ipod and looks like some system files are corrupted. Specifically one names "ipod control"
Doew anybody now what can i do to solve this? Is my last hope before truw it away and by another one (from a different brad due I'm not willing to take the risk of this happening again)

Don't toss it: fix it! I had the same problem (corrupted system files) even after restore, and ultimately realized the CF hard-drive was going bad. So, I upgraded my Mini and even wrote a story about it: http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/setup/loudspeakers/iPodMiniUpgrade.php

Any one had problems with IPOD Nano getting wet from sweating while exercising. It will kill your Ipod so beware.

Ipod nano will stop operating if it gets wet from sweating while exercising. Beware, sweat will kill your nano and apple will not cover it under warranty. So don't let it get wet.

Sweat bands works!
