Alana:
With your iPod connected to a USB port:
(1) Go the Start menu and open Control Panel
(2) Open Administrative Tools
(3) Open Computer Management
(4) Open Disk Management (may take several minutes to open)
(5) In the top half of the window that opens, find the drive that is either labeled as holding your iPod or has about the same number of Gigabyte space as your iPod.
(6) Right-click on that iPod drive
(7) Choose Format-->Fat32 and click on the box for "Perform a Quick Format." The quick format may take a few minutes.
You should be able to start afresh from there. NB this will wipe your iPod clean.

Can't update...please help me!
iTunes shows the software 1.02 for nano is available. Unfortunately, after I clicked 'install', it shows: The iPod could not be updated. An unknown errer occured (1415).
it's the same situation of 'Restore'.
I restarted Windows, iPod and iTunes, even reinstalled iTunes. But the problem is still here.....
Please, help me...Are you able to sync songs and listen to your iPod without installing the new update? If so forget about the update. If not I would try taking that iPod back to the store and replacing it with another one. Also make sure your windows are up to date with all the files from microsoft.

I can't update iPhone 4 please help!
I bought my iphone 4 over a year ago from EBay. It's locked to 02 network I have never had any problems with it & it works fine but I have never been able to update it to any latest versions. It's just stuck on 4.1 and each time I try to update it on iTunes it does something for ages and then a message comes up saying your device could not be updated. Please note that the phone has never been jailbroken. Anyone who can advise me will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
I've turned them all off the domain firewall, the public and private firewalls. I'm updating it again now I hope it works. I've tried to update the phone every other week and I've had it since January 2011! Anyway thank you for your advice I'll let you know what happens.

I can't update my videos, please help
im having trouble updating my videos to my ipod. Whenever i go to the ipod settings, and i go to videos, it is marked as, "do not update videos" and it is greyed so i cant change it, what should i do?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This is because you are manually updating the music. You need to automatically update music to be able to automatically update videos.

I hope to help me with my poblome and fix it please !!??
And i hope to take my suggusts and make me happy becouse apple it is cooler from samsung
Apple the best
H.MThe iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality. -

Im from Philippines and my iphone is from Japan after I updated it to iOs 6.1.3 it wont activate it says ''Activation Error Please Contact Customer Care'' what does it mean? How can I activate it? Please help me.
You can NOT unlock it. Only the carrier it is locked to can legally authorize unlocking it and the Japanese carriers will not do so.
In order to be using it previously with a non Japanese carrier, the phone had to be hacked to illegally unlock it. You can not get help here.
Buy a new phone you can use. -

I have an ipod 4 and I can't update nor restore.
I have an ipod 4 and I can't update nor restore. I tried DFU mode and rest all setting. Another words, tried everything that I can think of. Can anyone help please?
The only way to solve this error is to edit the host file in your system. All you need to do is to add the following line at the end of the host file:

Can't update or restore your iPhone 4
can't update or restore my iPhone 4,I have been trying since week by either restoring or updating but the phone isn't coming out of recovery mode,Please help!!!
Try DFU mode:
How to put your iPhone in DFU mode :
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Turn iPhone off.
Hold power and home together for 10 seconds (exactly).
Release power but keep holding home until the computers beeps (observed on a PC) as a USB device is recognized.
A few seconds later iTunes should detect your iPhone.
If the Restore Logo is present on the screen, you are in Recovery Mode, not DFU.
If DFU doesn't work, your only choice is to take it to Apple for evaluation.
