Help lost ipod icon

Can someone please help me, I moved the ipod icon from my itunes to try to load some files and now I've lost the icon on my desk top. The icon that should be at the bottom of my page in itunes is also gone. Does anyone know how to retreive it?

I've thought of trying to re-install my ipod, but afraid I will loose everything. Will I loose what I have in itunes if I try to reinstall Itunes? If I reinstall my ipod cd, will it automatically re-install everything? I'm at a loss. But I can't try to install my files without the ipod icon.

HELP LOST IPOD TOUCH WHAT DO I DO???? :'(

:'( lost Ipod touch at school and now how do I track it down? DO I call The Company? I am using Icloud and still no results PLEASE someone help what can I do????

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 a bank or any other 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.

Lost iPod icon on IOS5

i've just updated to iCloud and IOS5 and can't find where my music is - iPod icon has disappeared

You cannot delete any of the apps that come standard on the iphone.
You have either moved it to another page, have a restriction set ( not sure if that will hide the icon or not), or you have it in a folder somewhere. Use the search feature, you should find it.

Help - Lost phone icon on quick launch bar

Hi,
I've been playing with configuring the quick launch bar by dragging icons from the launcher. When I dragged a fifth icon onto the quick launch bar it replaced the phone dialer icon.
No big deal I thought - I'll just drag it back from the launcher - except it's not in the launcher...
Any suggestions on how to get it back.... If only I'd lost the contacts icon I really wouldn't care, but losing the phone dialer is a problem!
Thanks!
Darren.

Hrm, typically you can't add an extra icon unless you have room. Only five icons allowed plus the launcher button.
Is the phone icon located on any of the launcher pages? Also does searching for phone result in it finding the application?
So, you meant 5 *including* the launcher button, not 5 *plus* the launcher button, right? Because I can't get any more than 4 plus the launcher, and unless they were made smaller, it doesn't look like there'd be room for another. Or am I missing some way to do that? I'd love to add one more, since I use Google Maps almost daily for traffic checks, but I use the other stuff already there dialy as well.
Thanks,

"Dead iPod" icon on screen -- help!

Hi. I have a fifth generation iPod that went dead on me today. Is my music and iPod lost?
The iPod froze mid-play so I reset it. I had to repeat this a few times (froze, reset). Then it turned on and I could hear and feel the iPod gears turning and clicking in a way that I've never heard or felt before. Almost like something was loose. Then I got the dreaded "Dead iPod" icon (ipod with two x eyes and a frowning face) with an exclamation point and the apple.com support address. It won't take me to the main menu. Oh no!
Then I remembered that today my iPod got stuck to a magnet that is on the clasp of my bag. I don't know how long it was there for, but it's never been stuck to that before. Maybe that is what did it.
Can someone help me understand and fix this? Please?
1. What should I do? Should I try plugging it into a computer to restore it?
2. Is my music lost? Is there a backdoor way to pull the files off of my iPod?
3. Is there any hope at all for my iPod or should I just toss in the towel.
Thanks in advance!!

The magnet might have destroyed the iPod's hard drive if the drive was spinning and the magnet caused the read/write head(s) of the drive to crash into the platter(s).

Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?

Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.

I was syncing my ipod (1st gen) while downloading an update to Itunes and now i get the sad ipod icon...can someone help me out or explain how to get it fixed? cause the Apple STore is acting weird and I don't know what to do

basically the title says it all...I've been using this for the longest time and now after i was syncing the ipod while downloading an update for Itunes the sad face ipod icon shows up and everything i try won't fix it. I'm wondering if anyone knows how they can help me fix it...please!

The Sad face icon is usually a very good indication of a hardware malfunction or failure usually with the iPod's Hard Drive, which would also explain the loud clicking noise you are hearing.

Help - Playlists out of view of ipod Icon won't move up to the ipod Icon

Hello,
I'm kind of new to the ipod world. I've been doing ok for the most part. I used to have no problems moving my playlists on the left hand side up to the ipod Icon. However, if you can't see the ipod icon my playlist wont' move to it -- only to the top of the screenlist.
For instance a playlist mark Aerosmith would easily move to the icon.
A playlist marked Talking Heads would only scroll to the top of the visible screen and just stop or freeze -- it wouldn't go past the playlists that start with A and end with T
Can anyone please offer any help?
Thank you

You likely have a hardware problem since the article says a possible cause of the 1611 error is a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod icon does not appear in iTunes - pls help!

Hi everyone,
My iPod mini has been working fine lately - as soon as I plug it into my PC, the iPod icon automatically comes up in iTunes and my songs are updated.
However, today, I plugged it my iPod and the icon doesn't come up at all, hence none of my songs are updated. The usual "Do not disconnect" does not appear on the iPod - instead, all it does is start charging. I have done nothing different from other occasions.
Does anyone know what's wrong with it, and how to fix it?
Your help is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!

Linh,
Unistalling and reinstalling your iTunes should not cause you to lose your songs. The songs stored in the iTunes music folder remain unaffected.
However, if it makes you nervous to do this, see this.

Help - lost icons in finder window

Hi, Somehow i lost some icons, and i can't get them back. When I click on the HD icon, i get the finder window. Listed are: network, MacHD - a line, then: Desktop, User Icon, Applications, Pictures, and Favorites. I almost positive I also had a Music and Utilities icon in there. Last night i had some problems with my mouse and several times heard and saw the famous "cloud" and "swoosh disappear sound". After, I had fewer icons in the finder. Can someone verify the icons that should be there, and how do I get them back?
Thanks...

Here is what Mac Help has to say about sidebar items:
To customize the list of basic sidebar items, choose Finder > Preferences and click Sidebar. Select the checkbox next to items you want to show.
To add a personal item, drag it to the lower part of the sidebar. You cannot add items to the upper section.
To remove an item, drag its icon out of the sidebar.
Drag items up or down in the sidebar to organize them.
To change the width of the sidebar, drag the divider bar beside it. You can show just the icons or hide it completely.
To eject a disk or disconnect from a volume, click the eject icon next to the item in the upper part of the sidebar.
So, you should be able to drag items of your choice into the sidebar.
