Awww man got a new replacement ipod but not working!!

So recently i got a replacement from a nice guy for free and it was new i believe. So i plug it into my computer today, and i noticed that the screen wasnt responding! Help me please! Im always stuck on slide to unlock no matter what i do doesnt work, i tried sliding, nope i tried restarting, nope nothing will work!

Does it ask for a passcode? It does not sound like a new iPod since a new one would show the iTunes icon with a USB plug. You have to first connected a new iPod to your computer and activate it.

Got a new replaced IPOD adn it doesnt work at all

Ok so yesterday I got a new replaced Ipod cause my last one got messed up. First off I had a great deal of trouble trying to get my PC, to read the Ipod, I looked at a couple of topics and found a solution. I put it in disk mode and the computer finally recognized it. So i added a couple of songs , and last night the Ipod worked. This morning I go to connect it to add more songs and it the software said it needed to be updateted well it updated it and then it just turned off, now i cant get the Ipod to work for my life, I tried charging it, that doesnt even work because when i try to reset it, no apple icon come up. Nothing appears its like completely dead. I keep pressing the menu and select button but nothing, I tried to connect it again to the computer nothing. What can i do now?

By default mass storage in all in ones , cameras , phones (yes PHONES) are diasbled and only activate and are given a drive letter when the device is in use. so the OS keeps all of those devices as DISABLED UNTIL actual DATA is in the bus and only then they appear on your list of drives.
Itunes just trashes that security (seomehow) and enables ALL USB removabale storage even when not in use ( just plain bad programming)
once you install Itunes , you must go and disable all USB removable media , when the removable media is indeed needed (for example you do connect a camera to your PC , the camera's software will
1) enable the device
2) assign a drive letter
This was a week worth of experimentaion to figure this out.
I woder why the Apple stores refer to their techs as GENIOUSES !
Another BLATANT bug in ITunes. It tries to associate itself to all multimedia extensions even if you tell it NOT TO and you will get an error message saying you do not have enough rights to change the association. These are so namby pamby bugs you wonder who in **** QC this software !
Another "HINT"
After updating yur IPOD through Itunes SOME USB devices will no longer be recognized automatically upon connection to the bus ( like my SonyEricsson phone) so a cold reboot is in order !
Warm reboot doesnt do it ! - yet another 2 hurs of experiment to fix this !
but hey my newest IPOD is giving me 20 hours of play time !
So I am assuming that EVENTUALLY the Apple programmers will be more in tune with the Wintel community and all of this will go away - I just wish there were not so secretive about their code. **** ive written about 30 utilities for my SonyEriccson p900 phone. One actually serves me as a thermometer! (I stick the sonyericsson in my freezer and through BlueTooth I can see the temeperature dropping ! , jut a silly thing but it is fun. That is because SonyEricsson made available ALL their hooks and function calls to the public. I am sure theres a TON of goodies in the IPOD that can turn into a nice cottage industry for developers.! Like a way to INCREASE the VOLUME on Music Videos !
Or making the MENY button on the remote that comes with the docking bay WORK!

Replacement iPod - Still Not Working

Last week I sent my 30GB to Apple for service (after having it only a month) and I recieved my replacement yesterday, but I'm still having issues.
When I first got it home, it hooked up to iTunes and my laptop just fine, but then it stopped transferring songs and I got errors and I had to restore it.
Since I restored it last, I cannot get it connected to the computer properly. iTunes does not recognize it and when I hook it up to the installer, it says "Initializing..." and just sits there forever, doing nothing. A few times it's told me to restart the computer, which I've done, and then it went back to the "Initializing..." I also tried it in data mode, and still nothing. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and the iPod updater (both the 2006-03-23 update and the old 2006-01-10) and I have been all over the website and I have tried ALL of Apple's suggestions. I tried hooking it up to another computer - a desktop - and it wouldn't work there, either, which leads me to believe that it's the iPod and not the computer.
It's bad enough that I had to get a month-old iPod replaced, but now the new one won't work, either. I'm very frustrated. Anyone have any suggestions?? I'm about to just send it back to Apple again....

Nevermind...
I finally called customer service and the guy was very helpful but nothing he had me do worked, so I'm sending it to Apple... AGAIN!
I'm my third iPod doesn't work either, I will be very upset. Hopefully the third time will be the charm.

Replacement Ipod Site Not Working???

My ipod is dead beyond fixing and I've tried everything. I was directed towards the Ipod replacement site as I am still under warranty. http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
The only problem is the site does not work past the step where I put in my country and Ipod serial number. Someone please help!

hiya!

'Cannot connect to Game Centre server' error. Have tried a soft reset, reset settings, got a new Apple ID but nothing works!

Have looked thru a few feeds on here and have tried everything except a full reset as I do not want to loose my game data, I wouldn't normally bother about something like this and just set up a new one for my new ipad but my son has a few games on the old ipad and he has made some in app purchases and really don't want him to loose not only the game progress but the money he has spent as well. Is there anything at all I can do or do I just have to accept the losses?

Hello,
All the info you have reported would most logically be associated with actual server problems, and NOT in your Mail program. Who is your ISP, and have they made any recent changes, including merging operations, such as has taken place with sbcglobal and Att/Yahoo?
More info, please.

I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes library , but not working

I want to transfer music from an old iphone to a new itunes but its not working

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

New screen fitted but not working?

ive recently fitted a new screen to my ipod 4th gen, and when ive gone to switch it back on the screen isnt lighting up, anyone know why

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem.
First I would take it apart and look for problems.
- Nextm take it to someone with more experience.
- Apple will not help

1Password doesn't seem to work with Firefox 5 - I was told it would recognize and get the new 1Password addon but not working ... ???

I've been keeping my passwords in an application called 1Password. I was assured (by a knowledgeable user, not by anyone official) that when I upgraded to Firefox 5.0, the 1Password addon would be updated ... But that doesn't seem to have happened. As I rely on 1Password to track my passwords, this is a problem.

Take it back to the place that installed the battery and ask them to check their installation.

My replacement iPod will not sync. I've purchase new songs and albums and can see them on my PC. but they will not sync. When I select the devises from the menu the Sync is greyed out..

I just had to replace my classic iPod, lost all my music (except previously purchased). New (refurbished) iPod will not sync the new music I've just purchased or the CD's I've uploaded. When selecting the Devises in the menu, Sync is greyed out. I need help. When I plug my iPod into the PC and is shows it is syncing it only picks up my previous music,

See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

HT1152 Hi, we have just got our new replacement desktop mac with mountain lion. We had a G5 that was irreparable. Now we are looking to see where we can put in our cd's as we just popped them into the side on the G5 but no joy here !

Hi, we have just got our new replacement desktop mac mountain lion osx 10.8.2, as the G5 was irrepairable. Now we can't find where to put our discs ?!? Have they now done away with being able to burn discs and put software discs in now and just rely on downloads ?

Have they now done away with being able to burn discs and put software discs in now and just rely on downloads ?
Yes. There is no Superdrive. You cannot play DVDs or CDs.
You will need to buy an external DVD player/burner. Almost all will do the job, just make sure you can connect it, as your iMac does not have Firewire or USB2 (USB3 is backwards compatible).
Or there is of course the expensive one from Apple.

HT201303 hi just got my new apple ipod touch i need to update my security information other wise it wont let me download apps it says to enter three questions about myself and i get to the third question and it wont let me enter the third question

hi just got my new apple ipod touch and to download apps it wants to add questions about myself for more sercurity information. i get up to question 3 and it wont let me select a question but it will let me write an answer so i just pressed done and then it says i cant carry on because ive mised out information when it wont let me do a question!

Welcome to the Apple community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

The home button of my iPod is not working and it got 1 year of warranty if they give me a new iPod can I take another color ?

The home button of my iPod is not working and it got 1 year of warranty and going to Apple store, my iPod is silver color. if they give me a new one can I pick another color ?

No, they will give you a refurbished (but basically a brand-new) iPod touch in the same color. I have the Silver as well...sort of kicking myself for not waiting for the Blue one to come back in stock.

HT1727 I want to move all my music (purchased and loaded from CD) from one computer to a new one? I can synch purchased from my iPod but not CD copies.

This user tip should be helpful too. It refers to the iPhone, but it's equally valid for iPods as well…

HT1386 I have synced the items from itunes to an iphone 4 without problem, except the two albums I just purchased did not sync. They show up on the itunes on my desktop and on my ipod, but not on the new iphone. What do I need to do?

I have an itunes account and an ipod, and when I purchased 2 albums on the computer they synced straight to the ipod. I bought an iphone and used the usb cord from the computer to it to sync the itunes albums to the new phone. Everything transfered, and those were albums I had uploaded (not purchased from the itunes store), except the two albmus I just purchased from the itunes store. They appear on my itunes on the computer and ipod, but not on the iphone. What did I fail to do or did I do incorrectly?

This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.
