I am giving my wife an 80 gig Classic for Christmas. What do I need to get ready so that things go smooth on Christmas morning?
I have iTunes 7.4 and a 1st gen Nano and all is working fine. Thanks, Robert

No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Help...i lost my ipod usb...what should i do??

Well... you can get them online in the Apple store, in an actual Apple store if there's on near you, probably also any store that carries iPod accessories, ebay, Radio Shack, Best Buy, Fry's, CompUSA,...
It's $19.00 in the online Apple store.

I lost my ipod from my iphone. what should i to do?

i lost my ipod from my iphone. what should i to do?

Not sure what you mean. You cannot delete the app.
If you update to ios 5 then it is called Music now.
Otherwise it is liekly on another page or in a folder.
Please explain if you mean something else.

My Home switch button wont respond on my ipod touch 4th generation what should i do?

My Home switch on my Ipod touch wont respond what should i do?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Restore...

There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

Ipod is disabled. What should I do?

My IPOD touch is disabled because of a password problem. What should I do?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

IPod Classic PERMANENTLY RESETTING what do i do?

I just got a brand new silver 80 GB iPod classic. Yesterday i was listening to it and scrolling through songs. I started a song and it froze. I tried navigating through the menu but it wouldn't let me. Then I reset the iPod and it showed the apple logo, as it should, but then it stayed there. It wouldn't go away and I couldn't get to the menu. Then I went to my computer after it had ran out of batteries and plugged it in again. It went back to the apple logo! Then I left it there for a couple hours so it could charge and I took it out. The apple logo was still there. THEN I let it sit over night. The next day i took the iPod and plugged it into my Macbook. Now it wouldn't even show up on the sidebar of itunes. I am completely confused. Someone please help me.

Ok, I ran into this same issue of a brand new iPod Classic resetting itself continuously about once every 30 seconds. I had to do the following to get it to work ok.
10 Simple Steps To Fix Your iPod That Is Stuck In A Continuous Reset Loop:
1) While the iPod was resetting itself over and over (continuously resetting itself), press the Play/Pause button and the center select button simultaneously, for about 5 seconds, and it will display that it is now in disk mode.
2) Start up iTunes on your computer and then connect the iPod to your computer with the USB cable.
3) Click on the iPod in the left pane, select "Restore" to restore it to its original blank state. Follow the prompts to continue.
4) When the computer completes the Restore update, and it displays a message saying that the iPod will disappear and reappear in iTunes in a minute, immediately disconnect the iPod (unplug it from your USB cable).
5) On the iPod, you should see the main menu, in a few seconds. Pick a couple of settings to update for example the English language, and Eastern Time Zone (New York or Washington, DC), etc.
6) Press and hold the Play/Pause button to power the iPod off.
7) Re-connect the iPod to your comptuer with the USB cable.
8) Start syncing using iTunes, as normal.
9) All should be well.
10) Remember to always click on Eject in iTunes, and waiting for visual confirmation, before disconnecting the iPod.
The End. Whew!

My ipod touch not charging. what should i do ?

ive tried charging my ipod touch for the last few days but for some reason wont. what should i do ?

A reset may help. Push and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off indicator and release buttons when the Apple logo reappears.

Giving Old iMac as a Gift - What Should I do to Secure It?

I have the original 17" iMac. I just bought a new 24" and want to give the 17" to a friend. I'm wondering what I should do to make the 17" secure - other than reformatting and reinstalling.
I have heard that all I have to do is create an account, give it the same privileges as I currently have (administrator) then log into the new account and delete the old administrator account. But I'm thinking all my information will still be on the hard drive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Any links to Apple Support Documents would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

waterloo.bob, Welcome to the discussion area!
Have you ever had any personal information on the iMac that you do not want to be public?
If so, you will want to overwrite the drive with zeros and then reinstall from the iMac restore discs. See KB 107437 , Mac OS X: How to zero all data on a disk.

HT5576 My ipod just got stolen what should I do?

How do i block my apple id and credit card info?

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.
