Could I manually upgrade my 16GB iPod to a 32GB?

I was wondering if I could manually upgrade my iPod touch 16GB to a iPod touch with rear facing camera. Ive done research that i need a new logic , As the 16 GB model does not have the rear facing camera connector. If I buy The back of a 32/64 GB iPod( so it has space for the rear facing camera) and a iPod touch rear facing camera logic board, would it work? Or would there be some sort of conflict with the logic board and other parts? Would I probably need a new motherboard too?
I have also previously repaired my iPod touch 5g, so I'm familiar with what is inside of it.

Well, I'm currently looking at this, and so far I don't see much of a difference in the parts ( apart from the back and the board) and i see a possibility:

I upgraded to itunes 10.6 and I can't manually sunc to my ipod nano 5th gen anymore. I have re-installed itunes, restored my ipod and tried it dozens of times

I upgraded to itunes 10.6 and with that "upgrade" I can't manually sunc to my ipod nano 5th gen anymore. I have re-installed itunes, restored my ipod, tried syncing under another users account and everything else I can think of. It syncs ok upon initial start-up but then when I tryp to select podcasts or music to sync to it, itunes crashes. Now that I restored my ipod, I can't even get my old podcasts much less add new ones.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

Can i upgrade my 8gb ipod to 16gb

i just want more room so could i do this

Apple manufacture the iPods so that they can't be altered with, doing so causes many problems with the device and voids your warrenty.
In all fairness, techinally it is possible, but theres a 99.9% chance you will brick your iPod touch (meaning it'll stop working full stop) or simply damage something like the screen and/or other hardware.
I reccomend buying a new iPod altogether if you want more space rather than tampering with it. So to answer, yes, you can, but it's very risky and involves a lot of tampering.

HT201263 I purchased an 1gen 16GB Ipod from a seller. The ipod only shows the connect to itunes logo when connected to computer. The display shows without the word itunes. I got error codes 1603 and 1604 and have followed all the steps that were shown on

I purchased a 16gb ipod touch 1 gen and it wont restore or show the battery chaging icon. It shows the symbol of usb cable and what appears to be an itunes symbol without the itunes words being displayed. Upon trying to restore I have gotten error codes 1603 & 1604. I referred to the apple website for assistance and followed the steps to the letter with no results. So what else should I try or could I try because I have has no such luch thus far? I have held the home button and power button I tried to enter DFU mode but unsuccessful due to the screen boots with apple logo then immediately goes to the itunes screen and no further only when connected. Will not power on without usb connection have charged battery to see if it was the issue and no battery bar locator displays with or without being connected to PC.

So you did all this:
Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

How do I force a manual sync for my iPod touch w/iTunes v.11.0.1.2?

After the upgrade to iTunes 11.0.1.2 I am unable to find a way to force a manual sync for my iPod Touch. Also, some of the podcasts seem not to go into the proper folders, they wind up in an "unkown album" folder after downloading. Is there a way to fix this or even manually move them into the proper folders(albums)?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

I'm thinking about purchasing a 21.5" iMac. The base model comes with 8GB of RAM, and the RAM is not user-upgradeable down the road. Is 8GB enough memory or should I upgrade to 16GB?

I'm thinking about getting a 21.5" iMac which comes with 8GB of RAM. Unfortunately, the RAM is not user-upgradeable. Do you think 8GB is enough memory, or should I upgrade to 16GB? Besides internet surfing and email, I like to play flash games and listen to internet radio. Occasionally, I might want to stream a movie. I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me.

For what you list, 8GB should be adequate. I ran with 4GB without any issue for over a year in my iMac i7 before I added RAM, primarily for running Win 7 via Bootcamp.
The tasks that need a lot of RAM are typically video editing/production, heavy-duty photo manipulation (not iPhoto or PS Elements), and professional page layout like Adobe Creative Suite. If you think that, down the road, you may want to delve into those fileds with this computer, by all means get the extra RAM.
I like to play flash games
I didn't try a lot of Flash games while I still had 4GB RAM but those I tried ran without issue and without causing a non-trivial number of page-outs

Can media be copied to AppleTV manually like iPhon or iPod?

Is there a way to copy specific media to AppleTV like you can when you set iTunes to Manually add media to iPod or iPhone instead of having to sync it.
eg: I want to be able to drag selected media to AppleTV like I can with an iPhone or iPod
It seems you HAVE to sync and have few choices like last 5 watched or 5 most recent... etc.
Thanks,
Joe

It would be so usefulto have drag and drop.
You could set up a custom playlist and sync that, dragging/removing files from the playlist.
One way only to AppleTV though.

Upgrading 5th Gen Ipod 30Gig HD to one larger

I am curious to find out if it is possiblle to upgrade the 30GIG ipod video and pic model to a larger hard drive or not. I would rather do this instead of buying a whole new Ipod if it is possible. Can anyone answer this question? And if it IS possible, can you tell me if I would have to do anything extra in order to accomplish this. Thanks for any help that can be given.

See http://www.notpopular.com/blog/comments.php?blogID=63. Note that this will void your warranty. To find hard drives for the 5th gen iPod, see http://www.welovemacs.com/mk6008gah.html. You can also find a 80GB drive at http://www.welovemacs.com/mk8010gah.html. Note that you will have to buy a larger backing (the silver part) for your iPod. They can be ordered at http://www.welovemacs.com/1604backpanel.html. I myself didn't know this could be done, but look what a simple google search turned up!

Manually upgrading iphoto library

Could anyone direct me to documentation as to how to manually upgrade an iphoto library from version 6 to version 7? My iphoto 6 library works fine on my powerbook. However once I try to open it in iphoto 7 it trys to upgrade, but then hangs. I have adjusted all the permissions, and restored from earlier backups, but still no luck.
If however I open iphoto 7 and create a new library it works fine. Hence I can import the photos from the underlying images, but have lost all the metadata.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Bill,
"Why not?"
Because this throws the baby out with the bath water! iPhoto is usually able to upgrade a library with no trouble, or maybe the odd quirk. With your method, you assume the library can't be upgraded and are basically starting from scratch. Anyone who follows your advice is guaranteed of losing their albums, titles, keywords, ratings, comments, books, slideshows, modified photos, and anything else contained within the database file. OUCH! All the hours of work editing photos - gone. All organizational efforts - poof. You really should include such a disclaimer with your advice.
Let's say you do want to start with a fresh library. There are cases when this is appropriate. For example, if the library has been corrupted and is malfunctioning before the upgrade. Your method is still ill advised, because you are stripping the files from the library and keeping the damaged database file. To start with a fresh library, *create one*. You do this by holding down the Option key as you launch iPhoto, and clicking "Create Library" in the dialog box. This gives you a fresh, empty library with a new, perfect database file. Then you can import the photos from the old library into the new one. Of course, you still lose all the metadata from the old library. But if the library was corrupt, that information was already lost.
Also, I suggest that if you are importing RAW images, that you allow iPhoto to copy the pix (it's in Preferences advanced). If your images are already .jpg it doesn't seem to matter.
Actually, it matters *a lot*. There is a huge difference between a standard library and an alias-based one. Most users should keep iPhoto in its default mode and let it do the file management. In rare cases, as when someone is using 2 organizing applications with the library, the alias method is useful. However, this method is more complicated: deleting files becomes a 2-step process; moving the library is very difficult indeed. Corrupting your library is much easier, making the alias-based library a poor choice for the non-expert user.
Regards.

TS2830 Sync for IPod Touch quit working and I get error messages "a session could not be started" and "a connection could not be established" although the IPod appears in ITunes.

This is a new problem for an IPod Touch I have had for a year. The IPod is hooked up by cable and appears in ITunes. I can examine all the content on the IPOD and I can click "sync". It goes through to Step 7 and then the error messages occur. First "a session could not be started with the IPod" and when that dialogue box is closed, the message "a connection could not be established to the IPod."

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

A session could not be started with the ipod

My ipod touch 3 won't sync. I get a message that says "itunes could not back up the ipod "xxx" because a session could not be started with the ipod." I tried the recommendation of going to edit-->preferences-->devices and deleting the 'back up' file, but there IS no back up file. I've updated my security software. I've run the diagnostic for syncing and it said it passed. I've shut off and restarted my ipod. Not sure what else to do. Don't really want to restore to original settings.

I had this problem and found the solution (for me anyway). After looking in Logs I found a lot of "could not create file in All Users/Lockdown". On this XP computer it is here (and hidden):
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple
So I moved the files in the Lockdown folder out of there. Then I got another error about the "pairing record missing" and searching that, found to move the .plist files out of the Preferences directory (all of the above with iTunes shut down i.e. not running of course). These were located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Joanne\Application Data\Apple Computer\Preferences
Then I launched iTunes and all was well again. Maybe you can just delete the .plists out of Preferences, I dunno.
Hope this helps you or anyone else searching on this somewhat maddening problem. I encountered the trouble upon updating iTunes to 10.5 and then trying to sync my iPod Touch v4.3.1. The backup has to work of course before I can update to iOS 5.0.

Could I manually upgrade my 16GB iPod to a 32GB?
