Do I have to register my new replacement iPod?

I just got my replacement iPod touch today because my other iPod was broken. So i plugged it in to my computer and opened up iTunes. It said for me to register my iPod and make an account. Should I do this?

I have recently got a new replacement iPhone 4. Since I got this I have found that my data allowance is getting used up during the night while my phone is charging on the bedside table. How an I find out what is causing this and stop it happening? Some nights the usage is 150 meg!

You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

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.

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!

I have just received my new 160GB ipod... - some questions! Please help.

Hi,
I have just received my new 160GB ipod and have a few questions.
1. I have been using a 3rd generation ipod for the past few years. I have an ipod dock that I got with that, can I use that with a firewire charger to charge the ipod?
2. I do not want a big bulky case for the ipod. I have read that the front of the classic does not scratch very easily as the screen is glass. Can anyone confirm if this is true??
I was going to buy some kind of a shield until i read this... do I need one?
- What about the back of the ipod? How could I go about protecting this? Does anyone know if the Belkin protective overlays for ipod video fit? (Shown here - http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=257250).
I have ordered some ipod socks off amazon (found some very cheap if anyone is interested - shown here http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0007TXTB6/). As I don't want a bulky case, will these protect my ipod enough?
Sorry for all the questions, just that I have got my iPod but don't really want to use it until i've got some scratch protection on it.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Jake, you can charge with a firewire cable but you won't be able to sync or transfer.
The Classic has a polycarbonate screen. Only the iPhone (Touch?) has a glass one.

Brand New Replacement Ipod Touch

This is really basic. I think I know the answer anyway, but I thought I'd ask just to check. I got a brand new replacement 4th gen ipod touch today. I just brought it home and haven't done anything to it yet. This is actually my 3rd replacement. The previous one I had received from the Apple store came inside the plastic casing the same as if you were to purchase it. The one I received today still had that thin plastic peel protector around it but I just wasn't given the case it would go in. They just gave me a brand new ipod like that. My previous ipod was last backed up a few days ago in my itunes. With this new one, would I have to synch it just like a new one or would there be anyway to transfer anything that had been backed up? As I said, this is really basic but I'm not very familiar with Apple products. I just know how to use an ipod.
Also, a seperate question but since it's been a while since I last had a brand new ipod, should I be leaving it to charge or something before using it or... What exactly should I do?

- Follow these instructions:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
- I doubt it is new. You will only get a new one if they do not have any refurbished one available. The refurbished ones include a new back and new battery. If new it will come in a brown box, not like a retail new one.
- Just charge untill it is fully charged and then use it.

New replacement Ipod not recognized by Cpu or Itunes

I just got a replacement Ipod, charged it fully, reinstalled all the software, but my cpu still doesn't recognize it.
Is there anything I can do?

TS1369 i have just registered my new ipod but it doesnt appear in the menu for me to update it with the new music but it has put music into my old ipod....do i need to create a new apple i.d for my new ipod and create a second itunes app??

Hi,
O already have a really old ipod and just had a new one which i have registed today but when i have downloaded the itunes app onto my new laptop i cannot see the new ipod in the menu to update the music i have just purchsed.
Furthermore it seems to have put the new album into my old itunes so once i connect my old ipod i assume it will want to put it on there. I bought a new one as my old ipod is only 4gb and there is no space on it.
Can someone help please?

Registering an iPod or any other iDevice for warranty and support has nothing to do with the device appearing in iTunes. For what silly reason would you expect that to occur????
Honestly, it sounds like you have no clue how to use iTunes or sync media to the devices. Might be a good idea to read the User's Guide for the iPod to understand how to use it.

Do I Have To Register my New iLife 08 To Get Software Updates?

I just purchased iLife 08 and was wondering if I need to register my iLife in order to get software updates on these new programs.....
Also, aside from that... what are some good reasons to register in the first place? Seems to me that Apple just wants to email me on further products and attain my info. I'm sure that sentence is not completely valid, but nonetheless. :-p

My touch screen stopped working...on my brand new replacement iPod touch.

I recieved my replacement while on vacation in Vegas, about five days ago. My new iPod has been kept nice and safe in it's case without any bumps that could damage it. Today, May 4th, I go to school with a perfectly working iPod. On my way home, kept safe in my pocket all day, the touch screen stopped working, and restarting it didn't fix it. It's brand new, so whats wrong and how can I fix it PLEASE!

yes i have the same problem. But also other then the fact that the touch screen doesnt register it is really dark, like there is no light bulb

New replacement iPod won't sync. Error message

My 80 gig cassic lunched a motherboard. Purchased a new 160 classic as a replacement.
When attempting to sync, it looks like it has synced a hundred or so pod casts and then freezes up. An error window says "The xxx ipod cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found.
Note: In three syncing attempts, only three podcasts have actually appeared on the new machine
Help will really be appreciated.

Have you assigned a permanent drive letter to your ipod?

I can't transfer my music purchased from iTunes to my new replacement iPod

Hello,
I just got a replacement 4th generation 20GB iPod because my last one died. When I plugged it into my computer for the 1st time, only songs that had come from my cds transfered onto the iPod and none of my purchased songs would. An error message came up saying that I needed to download the iPod updater, and I did and I can see in my iPod preferences that I have the 3.1 software. So I am updated, but the purchased songs still won't transfer and it still says that my software is too old.
This just doesn't make any sense to me, and I would greatly appreciate any help I could get.
Thanks

Greetings from Mancunia.

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.

Help!!! I have 3 kids with new 60gb ipods, I can't install itunes.

I had all three of my kids set up with their new ipods with music on them. We had a virus on our new computer and I had to restore my system to a point before i had done anything with the ipods/itunes. Now i'm unable to install anything. I keep getting a message that itunes has encountered a problem and must close.my kids are driving me crazy, they want to download music NOW. if anyone can help me please hurry!!!

It isn't launching. My norton has been expired for almost a year now. I have tried several times to uninstall and reinstall itunes. I keep getting the same error message whenever I try to open the program. It says " iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Do I have to register my new replacement iPod?
