Help please - Missing IPOD

We are missing an IPOD Mini and we think it may have been picked up by someone else (I won't say that it was stolen). Is there any way to check to see if the device was re-registered by someone else on a different computer?
It was a special gift and I'd sure like to recover it.
Thanks.

Did you register it? if you did then Apple will know if someone else has registered it. However you are treading on legal ground and you may not find the most open of doors. File a police reort etc, as they would have a legal mandate to ask Apple whether someone else has registered 'your' iPod. If someone did steal it, theyll probably NOT register it, and if they do, they may make a case you sold it to them etc. This sooks but I hope you get it back!

What OS are you on?
First step: go to library, and make sure LR knows the location of your files. In grid form, a question mark will appear in the border. If you have masses of red folders, go to the highest level, and ask LR to locate it. (sorry forget the command just now, and I have to split now. Er, Jam. Uh, I have to leave the computer for a while..
good luck

Need Help Please with Ipod 20G

Long story short....I had my Ipod 4G and computer stolen several month ago on a business trip(have police report). A friend of mine recently purchased a new Video Ipod and gave me his old 20G...pretty nice of him! I am about to have iTunes loaded on to my new computer. Here are my questions I need help with please.
1. Will I need to setup a new iTunes account or can I use my old one?
2. Will I have to reset my newly acquired Ipod before I can place my music on it? I did back up about 80% of the songs from my old Ipod. Or will I be able to keep the 1500 songs my friend placed on it?
3. Or would it be easier for me to give him back his, cough up the $300 dollars for a new one and start all over?
Can't think of anything else I might need to know. If there is something I am missing and you could help fill in the blanks for me I would truly appreciate the help.
Thanks so much!!

1. No. You can use your old one.
2. Will I have to reset my newly acquired Ipod before I can place my music on it? No, but iTunes may automatically do this, I will explain.
I did back up about 80% of the songs from my old Ipod. Or will I be able to keep the 1500 songs my friend placed on it?
Sorry, but it would not be legal to keep the 1500 songs on this iPod that were your friend's songs, assuming that he's still using/listening to them on another computer.
3. No, I think it would be worth it to keep going, and use the 20GB iPod on your computer. It's not many hoops to jump through, and you should be up and syncing in no time.
Overall, it's fairly easy, and I would suggest that you keep going with this iPod.
My note from question #2:
If you connect an iPod that hasn't been attatched to your computer before, iTunes will most likely display [to the effect of] this message when you connect the iPod for the first time:
"The songs on the iPod "~~" are linked to another iTunes library. Would you like to replace the content of the iPod with this current iTunes library?"
Be sure to click on "NO" when you recieve this message.
Then, click on your iPod's name in the left panel of iTunes.
Click on the "Music" tab.
Deselect "Sync Music" if it is already set to this option.
This means that your iPod is on manual managing now, instead of iTunes automatically transferring songs to your iPod, or deleting them, which is not what you want at this time.
Now, if you have any songs on the iPod that you need to keep (i.e., if you have some of your songs on this iPod)you have a few options to transfer your iPod songs to your computer.
Method 1 - Manually transfer your iPod songs to iTunes using MacMuse's post. See it here -> iPod songs to computer (MacMuse post)
Method 2 - Add your iPod's folder into the iTunes library (via iTunes). Read this post here -> Using iTunes settings to transfer iPod songs to iTunes
Method 3 - Use a third-party program to get the transferring done. For a Windows computer, CopyPod should work good. Also, you can try out YamiPod
I hope that info helps you.

Help Please - New iPod Classic will not sync with existing iTunes library

Please help, I have researched every forum I can find and all the suggested tips have not worked for me. Here is my problem.....
I have a new laptop and a new iPod classic. I have checked and both have the most up to date software. I have logged into iTunes and all the music and films I had purchased previously is showing.
I thought I simply had to log into iTunes,authorise the laptop, plug in my Ipod and then sync the music and films from iTunes onto my iPod.
When I do the there is a message within seconds to say the iPod sync is completed but the iPod remains empty. I can't figure out where I have gone wrong.
All suggestions gratefully received

Problem solved. It seems that iTunes archived my music to iCloud so once I downloaded all the files again they sync'd rght away

Help Please: My Ipod Will Not Upload My Itunes Library

When I place my Ipod in the cradle (w/ Itunes open) - the computer recognizes the Ipod ("Updating", "Do Not Disconnect", then "Ipod Updates: Ok To Disconnect" comes up) but my library will not import. I restored the settings (and updated software). One thing - I did move my Itunes to an external drive ("F")a while back. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks,

Brian, Monty, & Janet:
If you moved the iTunes music files to another location without using iTunes to manage the move, you will cause iTunes to lose track of the music and possibly the entire Library.
Personally, I find it best to keep the iTunes
i program files
installed on the C: drive. While not completely necessary, it does make sense to manage all program files under the Windows default directory, if for no other reason than ease of locating the program.
Where the actual music
i files
are kept is not critical, as long as iTunes is aware of their location.
Let iTunes keep its
i music database
file (the 'iTunes Library.itl' meta-data file) wherever it wants and
b do not move it,
as this will completely confuse iTunes resulting in a loss of your music
i information
See these posts for some additional information and possible solutions. Read all the links provided within those posts as well. Post back if you have more questions before you attempt to fix this situation, unless you are completely sure of what you are doing and why. Chances are, we can get your Library back to normal and then move it to where you want it to be.

Help Please With iPod Player On My 3GS

Hello, Could anyone help me with a problem with my iPod part of my iPhone 3GS. The iPod will start to play my desired Playlist, but during the playback, the track album covers forget the last played track and franticly search for it. The album covers can rotate for ever and eventually lock the phone up and steel the album cover images at random. I have to then re-sync with iTunes to get them back. My last 3G phone did the same thing and I had it replaced, but still the same with the new 3G. Now I have a new 3GS, so the problem must be in iTunes Folder. I have a lot of tracks & platlists so I don't want to rush to reformat iTunes. Any ideas please? Jeff

I'm having the same issue - did you ever find a solution?

Help please! Ipod Classic appears in Windows but not Itunes: Tried Troubleshooter and TS1363

Hi There,
My ipod classic won't sync with itunes It appears in windows 7 and itunes even opens when the device is attached. Unfortunately the device doesn't appear in itunes and consequently won't sync. I have tried using the troubleshooter but to no avail and have also tried the suggestions in the help article TS1363, also to no avail! Performing the diagnostic in itunes reveals that the ipod is attached and performing correctly according to itunes but there is a problem syncing. I'm stuck as to what to do next! Help!
Hoping you can make me smile again
Thank you
Fortissimo

HELP please, missing the Thumbdatabase.db3 file; actions disappear from Effects Panel

I hope someone can help me, I'm totally frustrated and confused. Whenever I install a new action, previously installed actions disappear from the Effects Panel! Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix it? Also, I have no ThumbDatabase.db3 file in the folder: Photoshop Elements 7.0/Locale/en_US Shouldn't it be there? Can anyone help me with both these issues? Thanks so much.

TexasErin, you have solved the whole problem!!!! You have me jumping for joy! I've been dealing with this for three days and ready to give up entirely, completely discouraged that no one seemed to know the cause or how to fix this "case of the disappearing actions"! (BTW, I found the missing ThumbDatabase.db3 file in the Photshop Elements\ 7.0 folder. But I had to click the 7 and completely open the folder to see it. It was not visible in the "tree" on the left side of the panel where all the drives/folers are displayed.)
Your answer completely nailed the issues and fixed them! Most helpful was your suggestion to paste actions directly into the Photo Effects folder, and NOT put actions into their own folders in Photo Effects. I made that mistake and had about 3 folders containing actions in Photo Effects. I got rid of them, pasted all the ATN, PNG and XMLs directly into Photo Effects. I deleted the MediaDatabase.db3, started PSE, and waited a minimum of 30 minutes for it rebuild.
That was another piece of very helpful advice you gave -- to wait unitl the rebuilding message disappears, cursor returns to normal, etc. Your entire answer was so clear and precise and right on target, I'm going to print it and hang it on my wall. Are you one of the Adobe Experts? You definitely sound like one, or should be considered one if not! I'm SO grateful, thanks a million!!!

TS3700 help please my ipod nano 6th generation just shuts itself off

I don't think it is anything to do with headphone plug [jack].
I played around with the settings and have just managed to listen to three hours without problem.
Music settings; shake to shuttle off, sound check off, double click - play/pause, audio cross fade and group compilation on. Can't be all these but trial and error as to which one - unfortunately it came without instructions.
The only other thing was that I had it in pocket while i was moving whereas yesterday I was sat at desk with nano at rest.

Hey there chadsback!
I have an link for you here that may help you with some troubleshooting steps for this issue:

Need help please with ipod mini

Hi,I had my ipod mini sent into service as the pasue button was bust and I now have a totally new ipod mini send out and Im trying to install it on the pC and it doesnt let me,need help pls

You may need to format the iPod for use with Windows.
Try this instead of using the supplied installation CD.
Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted (not before), then follow the set up procedure.
If this is what you are having problems with, then post back with what happens and any error messages you see.

Help please with ipods dock windows and mac based

Hello everyone,
I have an ipod but want to upload from two different locations. I found out from a reply from a previous question that I can do that but my problem seems to be that I have a windows based laptop at home but at my other location in my office I am using a Mac. From what I read I can not do this from one location to the other without reformating my ipod everytime which would be useless to me sense I do not have the same music or do all of my purchases from one location. Is this possible to upload from a windows and mac computer from two different locations or is this impossible? Thanks in advance!!!

Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.  If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

Help Please - Frozen Ipod

Ok, I know I'm an idiot - I accidentallydropped my ipod on the floor yesterday and since then it keeps freezing on me. Certain songs it won't play and it doesn't like it if I skip through a song. I've tried resetting it and doing moving my USB to another port. But short of crying and stamping my feet I don't know what else to do with it. Can anyone help? I've tried logging on to see if I can send it to Apple for Repair (I know I'll have to pay for it) but I can't find anywhere to do it. I'd appreciate any help

Try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
Put the iPod into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes.
If the iPod needs repair it would be cheaper to go to a 3rd party repair site.
