Can anything get rid of scratches on iPod screen

Hi there
As there anything on the market that can polish scratches out of the colour iPod screen?
I thought of jeweller's rouge. Any ideas?

Depends on how big the scratches are. If you are talking about just the little tiny scratches you can try a commercial plastic poish and cleaner. These have mild abrasives followed by something that actually temporarily fills the scratches with something with a refractive index similar to the plastic, making them much less visible. In the US, Meguire's has a plastic cleaner and a plastic polish that can accomplish this.
If you are talking about a big scratch (like the piece of chicken wire that scratched mine... don't ask) you will have to sand the scratch out with a more aggressive abrasive, then follow with successively smaller grits until you get back to the gloss of the original screen. There are modeller's sandpapers available in grits like 1200 or 2400. Use them with water to keep the paper from clogging but obviously don't get water in the inner workings of the ipod. 3M also sells a line of automotive abrasive sheets down to 15 microns. They aslo sell an automotive finishing product called Finesse. It is a white paste and fairly aggressive but leaves a gloss finish after you've buffed it out. I would try the Finesse first and if your scratch is too big or deep then try the larger grits. I recommend trying this on a scrap piece of plexiglas before you do it on the iPod. Good luck.

Can't get rid of podcast capture initial screen?

can't get rid of podcast capture screen?

When I open the download with the "Get Info"..it is described as a Podcast Capture Document...which is NOT how it was downloaded. It was downloaded as a PDF file. When I try to open the download in the "Open With" option I can not use any application except i photo, mail, textedit, i tunes and utilities...none of these options will open the download...which as I said was a PDF file when I originally downloaded it (it was a magazine). It appears that the download has been converted into a Podcast Capture Document....and I want that to stop..
Any ideas how to keep this happening to future downloads??? If I can figure out how to stop this conversion (from PDF to Podcast) I'll be happy, because I can just down load the magazine again.
Thanks..

Can't get rid of songs on iPod

Hello!
So, I want to get rid of some songs on my iPod. Its the latest version and I use the latest version of iTunes. I unchecked the songs I didn't want in iTunes and then synced my iPod. When I checked my iPod, the songs were still there. Also, when I clicked on "On This IPod", the songs were not listed.
I even deleted the songs from my iTunes account, and resycned again, but they were not going away.
I tried the whole, "hold the lock key and home button together until the apple appears" thing, tried it, didn't work.
Any way I can get those songs off my iPod? Thanks!

Do they play on the iPod? If no then
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

How can i get rid of condensation behind the screen?

Hi, my iPod works fine, but after leaving it in my bag during footy training outside and it then raining, it has condesation marks all over the screen. The functionality of the iPod is fine but it is very irratating having these marks over the screen. They are not strong enough to make reading the iPod hard but obviously I'd like to get rid of them.
I understand as it is a matter involving water my warranty won't cover it?
Is there anything else I can do? How hard is it to take it apart?

There are some liquids that you can buy in the shops which makes you clean those marks from your iPod. You can find them in the Apple Stores and most of the computer shops.

Can't get rid of "okay to disconnect" screen

Sometimes when I turn on my Ipod the screen "okay to disconnect" comes up, when It's not plugged in. Once this screen comes up I can't turn the Ipod On or off--- I basically have to wait for it to die and then charge it. What could be the problem? How do I get rid of this screen without the waiting?
any suggestions?

How do you do that? The screen is basically frozen except it does allow me to change it from hold/not hold. And when I plug it into my commuter it keeps the same screen.

Ok, well it shows the sad ipod screen, and when I plug it into the computer it shows a battery picture with the charging lightning bolt but it isnt charging. Those "5 R's" didnt do a thing because my computer dosnt even acknowledge that its plugged in!

See these troubleshooting articles.

What does this picture on my iPod mean?

Try to restore it in disk mode.

This icon is usually indicative of a hard drive problem, and if none of the above help, it will need service.

Can't get rid of banner on Login Screen

This is my personal computer, I downloaded some software from my university called KeyAccess and now I have the universities name stuck on the log in screen. So far I have uninstalled the KeyAccess program, including any Daemon files associated as well as plist. I also had JAMF software and ran this command to remove it. sudo jamf -removeFramework. I was able to rid myself of the Alertus software as well. How could I find out what is causing this banner to be stuck on my screen??

Back up all data before proceeding.

If you want no text in the login window, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist LoginwindowText
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm.

Podcast Authors appear in "Artists" on my Ipod - How can I get rid of that?

I use iTunes to subscribe to podcasts. After synchronizing, the podcasts appear on my Ipod in my "Podcasts"-folder as they should. But the Authors also appear in the "Artists"-folder, which I find very confusing.

I've used Brasso to remove minor scratches/scuffs from my Nano and 5th Gen iPod. It works pretty well, and it's available at any hardware store. Your local supermarket might even carry it in the isle with cleaning products.
I don't know how well it would work for you. Having the iPod dragged around the floor sounds pretty rough. If it has deep scratches, there might not be anything you can do for it.

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by. A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

Hi lundjj,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:

This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
All the best,
Jeremy

I have new ipod touch which shows mail messages, but when I punch to access, all I get are mail providers. How can I get rid of mail providers and see my messages since the correct mail providers are set up already?

I do not know what you mean by "punc to see all mail provider".
And also what does "I can't get rid of the providers to see my e-mails".
Maybe this will help
