Getting a 120gb ipod for Christmas, worried about it not working on xp sp2.
I'm getting a new 120gb ipod for Christmas, I checked all the requirements on the back of the box before we bought it of course. I asked the person who served us with it wether not having XP service pack 3 would be a problem, they said no. Anyway I am very reluctant to install sp3 due to the ammount of computers it's written off, I don't have the cash to sort it out if it ruins mine and I rely on my PC a lot.
Will I encounter any problems running it on XP home SP2? My PC is otherwise up to date and running fine. I have itunes 8 installed and USB ports at both the front and rear of the machine, I've heard it's better to connect ipods via the rear port?
Anyway I've done a lot of reading on the web and I've found some sites saying SP3 and some saying SP2 or later, so I'm confused to say the least.
Help?
I have a very similar problem.
I have a TC and and AX as well. After many hours of work I finally got the network working properly. I guess they didn't Q/A the doc with a WinXP user
Anyway, I've spent at least 3 hours already trying to get the &$^% printer working. I've tried several suggestions I found on the forum(s) including using Bonjour, but none of them seem to work. The Printer is an HP LaserJet 1100. I have the latest drivers for the printer, as well as Bonjour 1.05 and the latest stuff for the TC and AX. I just can't seem to get it going.
Heeeelllpppp !

My iphone is not working, i was planning on getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do not have my phone backed up on itunes. On my screen are these blue lines across on my screen, and i cant see anthing and i do not know what to do. I want to back up my phone but i cant see my screen to back it up. I need help badly. Thanks apple hope you can help me in this matter.
You wouldn't need to see the screen to backup unless you have a passcode on the device. Is that the case? You should be able to plug the device into the computer with iTunes and just select backup now.

I have no idea what to do will someone help me please?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

was gonna by myself 160gb ipod for christmas...not gonna now...backing up music today... what mp3 players out there are good besides apple and where should i store my music now?
Content acquired with an Apple ID is permanently tied to that ID.
There is no reason to create a new Apple ID, frankly that will just create more issues.
It is possible to load content from multiple Apple ID's onto a single device. If the content is in the computer that the device syncs with, simply select the content and sync it. -
I gave my grandson an iPod for Christmas last year. He is unable to download the last iOS. Help us trouble shoot?
If the iPod has cameras then it can be update to the current iOS 6.0.1
To update see:
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the iPod only has iOS 4.x then yo have to update via iTunes. To go to iOS 6 yo need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer. I would install the latest which is version 11 -

You need to use your "emergency email" that you used to set up your iPod to change the security questions and answers.

So I got the ipad for christmas, turned it on & it worked fine. Later I entered a passcode. Now I can remember the passcode & the ipad is locked for 60 mins. The ipad was never configured to a computer at the beginning. someone help.
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
backup to restore, then restore as New. -
I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired

Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install -
I have been having trouble connecting to my wifi on my ipad mini but my iPod is just fine......it will connect and then say "Unable to connect to network" I've tried resetting my ipad mini and turning off my router for 30 seconds and its not working.
What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
How is it setup?
I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in. -
Wiped my hard drive worried about my notes and other app data
Because of a bad DD command I wiped my hard drive unexpectedly. I am not to worried about my music witch I had backed up but I am worried about the notes, and data in some of the applications on my touch. When I reinstall Windows and Sync will I be able to do something about that?
I believe you are out of luck. Applications can be downloaded again but the data is likely going to be toast. Try googling iPod to PC and see if any of the programs meant to copy content can also handle notes and app data.

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
