Please help, problems with two different ipods

Both my ipod and my sister's ipod are experiencing problems. Both ipod's are 4th gen with click wheel.
My ipod isn't being recognized by itunes (I have the latest version) and only once in awhile will my computer recognize my ipod. I get a file showing my calender, notes, etc,.. I can't click on any of them though. When I connect my ipod to the usb cord and connect the cord to the computer, the ipod only just restart's itself.
My sister's ipod does absolutely nothing except show the apple logo and then shut off. Earlier today it was displaying the exclamation mark and the folder icon and it once displayed the sad ipod icon.
Does anyone here know what the problem is with these two ipod's and if there is a way that I can fix them?

See these troubleshooting articles.

What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

Please help me with my new IPod Nano!!!

I just got my new Ipod Nano about a month ago, and I need alittle bit of help with it. I would like to know how to add videos and pictures. I mainly just need to know how to add pictures. I use Windows incase that helps anyone. Thanks to much to the people that will be willing to help me out. Please someone reply soon!!!

*I would like to know how to add videos and pictures*
For adding videos, have a look at this guide: Syncing Videos to iPod
*I mainly just need to know how to add pictures.*
When you say pictures do you mean photographs or album artwork? Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod
On a smaller device like the Nano I would tend to leave the "Include Full Resolution photos" box unchecked as these will take up a lot of space on the iPod and are only useful if you want to copy photos from one computer to another. iTunes will add "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view.
To add album artwork, first of all make sure your iPod is enabled to show the artwork:
1. Connect your iPod to your computer
2. Click on the iPod icon when it appears the iTunes Source pane to bring up the preference tabs.
3. Select the Music tab of the iPod settings. The iPod settings are displayed to the right in the main iTunes window.
4. Select the "Display album artwork on your iPod" check box.
5. Click Apply to save the changes. The iPod begins to update as soon as Apply is clicked.

HELP ME with connecting my ipod to the TV in my car

Hey...
I tried connecting the ipod video that i have to the TV monitor in my car. I used AV to Ipod headphone cable. I have AV outlets (red, white, and yellow). However, the sound keeps on going off on the left side of my car everytime i go over a bump or randomly when i am driving. I wanted to see if getting an AV to Dock connector(connecting to the bottom of the ipod rather than to the headphone connection) will help solve the problem??
Any help will be appreciated.

To restore the new style interface, in the View menu select Toolbars, the option "Tabs on Top" should be selected, if it is not click on that entry to select it. Next, in the View menu select Toolbars then de-select the "Menu Bar" entry, that will then hide the menu bar and it should now have the new look.
For the spell checker, open the Options dialog, then go to the Advanced panel and select the General tab. Make sure the setting "Check my spelling as I type" is selected. If the spell checking is still not working, right click on a text area then select the Languages entry, it should show the installed dictionaries. If none are listed select the "Add Dictionaries" entry. For more details and some screen shots to make it clearer, click the following link - [[Using the spell checker]]

Help needed with 4th gen. iPod shuffle and "reshuffling" music

I have a silver 4th gen. iPod shuffle that works well for me. I had 196 songs on it and in the last couple of days, I added 14 more. Now, I have 210 songs on it. Cool. The issue I have is NONE of the new songs play. I do get a good mixture of music and it's pretty random but in the 7 or so hours I listened to my iPod today at work, NONE of the new songs I added played at all. I would guess at least one of the new songs would have played but none did.
I found the iPod manual online in PDF format and read the instructions for "reshuffling" the iPod, but I'm not sure that worked. So, here are my questions:
When I add new music, must I manually "reshuffle" the songs manually or should that happen automatically?
When I "reshuffle" the songs, I follow these steps: "To reshuffle songs, slide the three-way switch from shuffle (icon) to play in order (icon) and back to
shuffle again. Must the iPod be playing music when I do this or does that matter?
I manually add the music to the iPod and don't automatically sync anything, nor do I have any playlists.
Thanks in advance!
Peace...

You may want to play the shuffle with the switch in the middle play-in-order position. Then, when you play songs from the All Songs list, they play in alphabetical order. That should make it easier to confirm that songs on the new batch does actually play (because the order is not random).
Also, there are only about 200 songs on there, so keep hitting Next until hear one of the new songs. If you get back to the first song without hearing one of the new songs, something is wrong.
It should not matter when you do the reshuffle step, whether the iPod is playing or not.
Have you checked using iTunes, to confirm the new batch of songs is on the shuffle? If the iTunes sidebar is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle's name, to drop down its content list (indented below the shuffle) Click on Music there. The list of songs on the shuffle is shown to the right. Are those 14 new songs on the list?

Help me with my new Ipod

I don't know what it's called, but it got 30gb and you can play movies with it.
Now to my problem.
I've got some movies on my computer but I can't get them to iTunes to put them into the iPod. Do you have to bye the movies from the music store, or how do you do? Can anybody please tell me?! I really want to watch movies on my christmaspresent .
Have a nice day everybody!

QuickTime Pro ($29.99) will convert movies to iPod video format. QuickTime pro will not break the encryption on a commercial DVD. We all know that is illegal. If you have a Mac there are two programs that will convert to iPod Video format, Handbrake (free) and Podner ($9.95).
Hope this helps

My ipod touch is stuck on the 4.2.1 software, its a 3rd gen as well i was just wondering why i can not get the lastest update can you please help me with this issue

i have been having an issue with updating my ipod touch for some time now and i can not seem to get it to update to the lastest update. it is stuck on 4.2.1 software and i can not update it to 4.3 or any other ios software update. can you please help me to solve this issue.

It sounds like you actually have a 2G iPod Touch which can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. If it's an 8 GB iPod Touch it's definitely a 2G iPod Touch as there was never such a thing as a 3G 8 GB iPod Touch. See this article to help verify what generation iPod Touch you have.
