Big Problem with brand new iPod please help ME!!

Hi, I just today got a brand new iPod. I pluged it into my computer and put on about 700 songs immediatly. Then, I tried to put video on my iPod. It said it would not do this because it's not the right type of iPod. But it is a 5th Gen. iPod and it can play video. Anyway, I installed the latest iPod updater. Now, it says to install the new iTunes 6.01. So I tried but it says my disk is full. It is not full. Also, do I have to keep my previous "iPod for windows" files that are occupying space on my disk?

Kenny,
If you can back your songs up, and you have not rated a slew of them already, it might be a good idea to uninstall iTunes, then reinstall it and use the ipod updater to wipe the iPod. Just make sure you download and install 6.01 before you plug the iPod in. Maybe that will get you past the disk full problem. Just something to try.

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!

Problem with brand new Imac, please help

I was suggested that it would be best for me to post this topic here in this forum.
Hi I am new to Mac, I had just gotten my 17" imac isight last week, for the most part i am very happy with it. But last night I was having some troubles with it. I had been online and was using Firefox as my browser....I went on one website and all of a sudden my mac froze up, the cursor changed to a spinning colored pinwheel and i couldn't click out of the page at all. In the upper right hand corner of the webpage which i didn't notice when i originally went on it was a message saying "you've been owned noobie"....my only guess was that this person's page had been hacked.
I tried manually shutting down the imac, when it came back on I could not do anything. Firefox and Safari kept shutting down, and even when i tried going into System Peferences it kept closing on me. I tried shutting down at one point and the computer seemed like it was still on, the light in the lower right hand corner was going in and out. I tried starting up again and could not get onto the desktop, it was stuck on the blue screen. I tried holding the power button down in the back for a few seconds and i took the power cord out from the back for 30 seconds, after that it seemed to work fine.
I am afraid that this may happen again, right now everything seems fine....has anyone else experienced this issue or has any insight on it? Is it a hardware problem or simply a bad webpage?
I appreciate any help that you guys can give me!

Big problem with my 4th Gen, please help !!!

Hi guys.
Well I've a big problem with a 4th gen Ipod. The prob is that the Select button on the middle doesn't work.
I've tried everything : Did a reset, a complet restore from Itunes 7, but it was unsuccesful.
I don't really understand the problem, I was using the Ipod normally then suddenly the button didn't work !!
Please help me. In addition, I cannot carry it to the Apple Centre because I live in Algeria.
Thanks.

No ideas ???
I've tried to open it as well, I've unplugged all the connectors, cleaned it with alcohol, but the button still not responding.
Do you think that the problem would come from the logic board ?? Because the button itself worked (I used a METRIX to test it), and I can make a reset with no problem (the reset needs the central button).
Please help me. Thanks.

Problems with brand new ipod classic

I purchased a $245 classic for my son's birthday last week. He opened it, was excited, and went straight to the computer to begin using it. Unfortunately, it did NOT work. I can't really say the problems he was having because he was the one using it. I believe he said that it would not format, and that the computer did not recognize the device as an ipod. He then tried it on his girlfriend's computer and it did not work there either. We called Apple and the representative told us to return it to the store. The store told us that it had to go through Apple (per Apple's orders). We called the same guy back and he said to send it in and they would send us a new one. OK, fine. But now they are saying that it was "undetermined accidental damage" and they will not repair or replace it. The ipod did not work from the moment it was opened!!! I find it quite unfair that we now have a brand new completely unscratched $245 paperweight, and no gift for our son. The website does not give me help with addressing this issue. Does anyone out there have any ideas on who to contact next? The guy we talked to in customer service lied to us twice (first by telling us the store would return it, and second by saying they were just going to ship a new one since he had just opened it). We don't really want to bother with him anymore. Our frustration is unreal. Thanks for any insight you might have.

I can't speak for Apple, and I don't think we could speak to what your son did with the iPod (as opposed to following the setup instructions which I believe are in the box, and direct you to www.apple.com/ipod/start to install iTunes), as when I turned my Ipod Classic 160GB on, it simply booted up and started working. No "formatting" was required.
If you have an issue where a vendor promises you a return, then reneges ... turn all your information over to your credit card issuer or bank and ask them to initate a chargeback. That will get the seller's attention.
That's my $0.02.

Problems with Brand New Ipod Video

hello!
I have an ipod video 30G which is only abt 5 days old.
However, I have experienced some problems with it.
After I choose the Artist, instead of going to the album selection section, my ipod immediately skips to song.
For example, I have 4 songs by Daniel Powter. Two of them have the album as "dp" while the other two have unknown albums. I can access the two with "dp" but not the other two. I can only access the other two without album names if i go through Songs selection.
I have already installed all the latest software. and I have used 3 different USB cables. I have also restored my ipod and reloaded the songs, but the problem persists.
I hope I have expressed the problem clearly and thank you for your time.

ok i see what you are saying..
what you need to do for those songs is give them title names and a alblum name and artist name that will solve that.
and the reason why you'r ipod skips to the song is becuase you only have that one alblum on you'r ipod at this moment..if you put more alblums by daniel powter then when you go to artist-alblum- you will be able to select which alblum you would like to listin to.
re-post if thats not clear.

Crashing/freezing problems with my new MacBook - please help!!!

Let me preface this by saying I'm very new to Macs.
I just got my new 2.0GHz MacBook (1GB memory, 120GB hard drive) a few days ago. The first day, I had programs freeze up on me which has continued to happen regularly. This morning, I powered off the computer but noticed it sounded like it was still running and nothing was displaying. I had to hold down the power button several seconds to get it to restart and then a message appeared saying that OS X had unexpectedly crashed.
My questions - Should I really be having these problems when the machine is so new? Should I contact Apple and send it back to them? Or am I making a big deal out of minor problems?
Thank you!

Welcome to apple forum,
Try this :

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304308
And if the problem still persist, visit apple store nearest you like at King of Prussia Mall.
I assume that your macbook is built to order, and the built to order (not standard specs) is not eligible for return and replacement, but they will try to fix it until it work, maybe if it is unrepairable then you will get a new one.
Good Luck

Issue with brand new iPod Nano 7g No Phone, can't contact Apple

Hi everyone,
I just got my brand new iPod Nano the other day, when I opened it up and took the sticker off, I saw a large scratch down the screen. That was annoying enough but the scratch affects the touchscreen ability and it's very tough to ignore.
So like a normal person I want to contact Apple to try and resolve this, but I've hit another barrier. I only have one phone, a mobile and that's bust up. No way I can take or recieve calls unless I become psychic as the speaker and mic are broken. So i'm wondering if there's any other way I can contact Apple?
My nearest Apple store is about a 2 hour drive away as I live in the middle of nowhere, helpfully...
Totally new to this place so any help is appreciated.
Thanks

So i'm wondering if there's any other way I can contact Apple?
Either borrow a cell or a landline phone. I find it hard to believe no one in your neighborhood, family, school or job have no phone.

Sound Problems With Brand New 24" iMac!

1) My new iMac has suddenly stopped making alert sounds, such as for incoming Mail, no Mail etc.
2) I cannot listen to any radio stations on iTunes any more - dead!
Is there a problem with the new iMacs and sound?

All of my other sounds (startup, iTunes purchased music etc.) worked fine. All of my preferences are set OK.
Here's the odd thing: All of a sudden my alert sounds have come back and I can play SOME radio stations through iTunes, but not all.
This is very strange!
