EVERYTHING is scratching my iPOD

I have a DLO leather case, so the screen is always covered, but it still has scratches. Today I tried using one of the micro cloths that came with the iceCream stuff with water. Guess what? It scratched the screen more! Is there ANY way I can clean my iPOD without continuing to add scratches to it?
This is so frustrating.

Here are some ways to remove scratches...
Ice Creme
iCleaner

I have 2 itunes accounts. I can no longer use my first one for purchases so I had to start a new one and it will not sync from my new one without deleting everything on my same ipod from my previous account. How do I sync between both accounts?

How do I get 'everything else' from my ipod to the mac?

Hello,
I have a video ipod with music, videos and pictures on it. Since it was originally synched to a PC I wanted to get a macbook pro I recently purchased authorized so I did that and followed the directions I found in a doc on apple support to transfer purchases, which all worked well.
The music is there but problem is 'everything else' on the ipod isn't on the macbook and it looks like the popup message indicate that if I chose to sync it they will all be deleted. It looks like the 'original' computer I have, which is in storage at the moment, is the only that cany do this type of sync.
My question is how to I get 'everything', including music I didn't purchase through the store, from my ipod on to the mac so when it synchs I won't get the popup message wanting to delete everything on my ipod? I would hope there is a way to do this but so far I haven't found it.
Thanks for all your help.

How do I transfer everything from my old iPod to the new one for FREE?

I just purchased a new iPod Classic (7th Gen) and need to copy everything over to my new iPod. I was trying to use "iPod 2 iPod" but they want $40 for it and I am not spending $40 just to do a one time transfer. Is there any program out there that dose what "iPod 2 iPod" dose but is FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!! and available for Windows?

NO, like most people I don't use iTunes like that, all my music is backed up on external hard drives and stored on DVD's, it is never all in the same place and I am not going to keep all my music on my computers hard drive and take up all the space. Now if only there was some magical amazing device that is like a laptop with a lot of storage space but only smaller that people could take anywhere to listen to all of there favorite music so they would not have to fill up there laptop or desktop's hard drive and/or drag around a computer where ever they go... oh wait, something like that already exists, it's called a #$%^*&! IPOD!!!. That is the whole point... The only place I keep most of my music on is my iPod but Apple and there infinite wisdom for some reason decided that iTunes would be the place where people would keep and manage their music and not the iPod, So since I can only sync my iPod with iTunes but CANT sync iTunes with my iPod I would be unable to do as you have suggested.

... have tried everything to restart my ipod touch. stuck on that screen with the apple logo

My Ipod Touch suddenly stopped working. It hadtrouble starting up – then suddenly turned on after a few minutes of pushingthe start button. The next time I turned it off, it never started back up. Symptoms:
It is stuck on the apple logo screen (with thecircle of moving bars – as if it is waiting or doing something) and never moveson from this.
When I plug it in and try to restore it:
Whensyncing with my back-up, I get the error: ITunes could not restore it becausean error occurred
WhenI set up a new Ipod, everything downloads. (apps, music etc)
It looks like it is fixed, butwhen I unplug it and try to get it to work, it is still stuck in the apple logoscreen – same as above.
I have also updated all of the software. Still - no go!
When it is plugged in to mycomputer, I am able to play music and see the items in the ipod. Through this,I have even updated my software. This all works .. but that screen with theapple logo does not go away and I just cannot access it manually through the touchscreen or ipod buttons.
Who can help me?

Did you also try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Scratches on iPod

Any face the problem with scratches on their iPod?
I had purchased my 60GB iPod Video in Jan this year. As expected, after several months of usage, the screen was scratched. This being a portable device and the fact that the screen is made of plastic is why scratches are expected.
Thinking that the casing would be easily replaced, I called Apple to find out how and where to get the casing replaced. I was bounced all over the place and finally only after 4 calls was I able to get a case number on Thursday 19 Oct. I had to call them again on Monday 23 Oct, only to find out that Apple does not replace casings and if I wanted to get rid of the scratches, there are only 4 options for me:
1. Purchase a "Scratch Kit" from Apple at $38.
2. Void my warranty and get a 3rd party replacement.
3. Purchase a New iPod.
4. Live with it
I had already purchased the "Scratch Kit" and it does not work. Getting a 3rd party replacement does not make sense as it would void my warranty. Purchasing a new iPod at $600 does not make financial sense. And, imagine watching a video on a scratched screen!
As I explained to the customer service person,
1. Apple did not give ample notice that the casing cannot be replaced.
2. The material that is used for the casing is PLASTIC, which is easily scratched.
3. If the casing is cannot be replaced, then, Apple should have provided a screen protector.
4. IF the material used was more scratch resistant, I could understand if the casing was not replaceable, but the material used is PLASTIC!
I believe that I am not the only person with this problem. Either Apple provide a casing replacement option, or, improve on the material used.
Does anyone have any similar experience and what can we do?

I use my Ipod video in and nano alot in my work, I have a speaker system (sonic infusion) that does not allow me to use the case. I live in Mexico in a dusty and very dirty enviroment. I get fine to some fairly deep scratches at times to the case on my Ipod. I have the screen protected with a pda protector, which works great. I have for the past year been removing scratches from my Nano and for the past month or so have removed from my 60 gig black video several scratches. I have found three products that take a little work, but work great. The first is PlastX by Meguiar's, it is an auto polish and can be found at most auto stores (not sure about Singapore) The next is displex I ordered off the web. It works great as well, the third is Brasso. Brasso really does work well, but after repeated uses it does seem to lighten up the click wheel a very little bit. All three products work but you do need patience and a soft non marring lint free cloth. Try the disposable cloths made for eyeglasses. Also these products work great on the screens, was not always bright enough to use a pda protector.....

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.

Tried everything - receiver and regular Ipod volume - now what?

I have gone threw trouble-shooting instructions: Power on and off, did reset,
and restore. Got on this forum and tried the suggestion of plugging in headset over and over, both powered on and off.
Speaker works when the phone rings, when answering the caller cannot hear me unless I select "speaker" mode. Headset works with Ipod but nothing without them. I can see the volume move when using the volume control.
It appears that is is time to send to Apple, unless anyone knows of something I have missed?

Well, just tried cleaning the plug with rubbing alcohol, but still nothing.
I did not mention earlier, that everything working great. But, recently two variables were different. One was the upgrade from Apple. The second is bought a system to play over my car speaks, it is the type that is put in the tape deck. Had to get a Adapter Kit to plug that into the phone.
I bought the system, tried it and all seemed fine (but got no calls at the time). Did the upgrade that night. The next day listen to music in the vechicle was fine. When I got a call I could not be heard by the caller.
Later I found out about the Ipod not working on the regular speaker. Had not used that after the upgrade. So, not sure if either of this had anything to do the problem I am having.
I will try to keep the Headset plugged in. Don't know what else to do.
We do not have a repair center here. It was purchased at an AT & T store, but they stated they do not service them. That would result in me sending in or
driving approx. 100 miles.
Thanks everyone!

SCRATCHED MY IPOD VIDEO SCREEN..HOW TO FIX?!

I've just purchased a 30gb ipod video, along with a skin. While i was putting on the skin, it roughly damaged the screen and scratched it. I am very dissapointed for the screen is suppose to prevent scratches, but while putting it on. It actually created a big scratch and smudges on it. And it is quite unbearable to watch videos with it. Does anyone know how to remove, or if the apple warranty covers it?

I have had success removing scratches with Brasso and a cotton ball. It takes a bit of effort. Wait until the Brasso dries then wipe it off with a face cloth, then buff with a microfine cloth.
