HELP WITH IPOD BEFORE I THROW IT UP THE WALL

HI I HAD A IPOD ON XMAS DAY ITS THE ONE THAT U CAN PLAY VIDEOS ON WELL ILL TELL U WHATS HAPPENING I READ THROUGH THE LEAFLET AND INSTALLED DISK ON MY COMPUTER AND EVERYTHING I HAD ON ITUNES WAS DOWNLOADED TO IPOD IN SECONDS THEN I UNPLUGGED IT HTEN I BROUGHT MORE MUSIC OF ITUNES BUT CANT DOWNLOAD TO IPOD THERE IS NO IPOD SIMBOL IN ITUNES IV FOLLOWED MANY STEPS BUT NOTHING ALSO IV UPDATED AND CLICKED IPOD UPDATER WHERE U CHOOSE UPDATE OR RESTORE BUT IM GETTING MESSAGE PLUG IN IPOD TO UPDATE BUT MY IPODS PLUGED IN WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON IM GETING DO NOT DISCONNECT SIGN ON IPOD

There are troubleshooting steps here.
PC does not recognize the iPod. Very often, just a simple reset cures the recognition problem. Try it several times, it doesn't always work straight away.
Then there's this.
iTunes doesn't recognize your ipod.
Now, could I ask you a favour please? Don't post in capital letters. Here on the forums it's considered shouting and rude. That, coupled with lack of punctuation in your post, makes it difficult to read. Also, it's best not to swear in your posts. That just attracts the attention of the Moderators who will remove your post, and that's not going to help you at all.
Many thanks.

  • Help before I throw this into the wall.

    I just received a ipod for my birthday. I have installed software and have loaded music and some podcasts to itunes successfully. However, when I plug in my ipod it opens up itunes but doesn't send the songs to my ipod.
    My ipod is empty. help!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your songs in the iTunes library won't automatically update to your iPod unless you have the correct option set.
    Go to "Preferences -> iPod". What setting are you on?
    If you are on one of the "automatic" settings (sounds like you aren't though), when you plug in your iPod, iTunes will start automatically update your iPod with the iTunes libary ("ALL") or to a particular folder or playlist in iTunes ("SELECTED").
    If you are set for "manual", then to transsfer songs to your iPod, you'll need to go the iTuens library, select the songs you want onto your iPod, and drag-and-drop then into your iPod (which is in the left source panel of iTunes).
    I hope this works for you!

  • Need help with Imovie before I throw my computer out the window!

    Ok so I got a canon fs200 for christmas and supposidly it works great with imovie. Now when I first hooked it up it kept crashing saying "IMovie quit unexpectedly while using the Sonix SN9C201 Webcam Plugin." I do not understand why its trying to use that plugin but anyways. So I messed with it some more and thought I figured out the problem and that it was plugged into my mini stack instead of directly into the computer. So when I tried that it loaded up great and worked, now today when trying to bring in videos from the camera it has gone back to crashing with same error! This makes NO sense...it is plugged directly into the computer it comes up as its own drive on my desktop yet crashes everytime I try to bring video in. Please help me with what I can do!

    Wow..I feel like a idiot..I had my webcam plugged in and totally forgot about it b/c I never use it. Unplugged that and bammo works like a charm. Thanks for makin me realize it hah

  • My iPod touch is not turning on or nothing. i have done all the things i could think of, other then throwing it at the wall. Please help!!!!!

    I cant get my iPod touch to turn on or do anything. Can you please help i have done all i can think of and i'm about to throw it at the wall.

    Without knowing what you actually tried:
    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.

  • TS3510 I only have one apple ID and facetime has worked with it before, but now I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". I have looked ofr a solution but can't find one. can anyone help please?

    I only have one apple ID and facetime has worked with it before, but now I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". I have looked ofr a solution but can't find one. can anyone help please?

    I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
    As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
    Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter  plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

    My iPhone 4s is not connecting to wi-fi and i've done everything-reset, iTunes synch, hard reset etc...- bar throwing it at the wall, suggestions?

    FWIW, I have no problems at all with Lion. Running on a Late 06 iMac with 3GB of RAM and it handles it fine. A little slow, especially compared to my Mid '11 iMac, but neither one of them have problems with the beachball. I push the '11 iMac especially hard with multiple Windows installes running in VMWare Fusion at the same time as well as Safari, Word, Excel, Mail, iTunes, iPhoto, and iCal all running.

  • Help with Ipod 80GB (detailed message as to what I have tried) error -50

    Originally I had downoaded some music and put it into itunes and synced it with my brand new Ipod 80GB. Everything was fine. I deleted my songs from my hard drive and itunes. A few weeks later I had a new batch of songs that I wanted to put onto my ipod through itunes. There was a message saying there was a new version of software available and I downloaded it and everything haywire.
    Now, here is what happens every time I hook my ipod up to my Dell using windows xp.
    1. I plug it in and it tells me my ipod is synced to another cpu. Would I like to erase and sync to this cpu. I click that option.
    2. I get back a message saying ipod cannot sync with an unknown error occuring -50
    3. I tried apple.com's approach to fixing this error message on windows xp by copying these files into notebook and opening them:
    regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
    regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
    regsvr32 /s dssenh.dll
    regsvr32 /s rsaenh.dll
    regsvr32 /s gpkcsp.dll
    regsvr32 /s sccbase.dll
    regsvr32 /s slbcsp.dll
    regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll
    regsvr32 /s cryptdlg.dll
    regsvr32 /s initpki.dll
    4. after letting that window close it instructs that I now open itunes and hook up ipod and restore things.
    5. After hooking things up i get the same message as before. my ipod is synced to another cpu. Would I like to erase and sync to this cpu. I click that option again.
    6. I get the same error -50 message.
    7. I repeat the same process of copying those files into notebook and starting all over.
    8. I get the same message "my ipod is synced to another cpu. Would I like to erase and sync to this cpu. This time I cancel the erase and sync and just try to restore. It tells me it has restored and will start again in 15 seconds.
    9. I get the same message as before "my ipod is synced to another cpu. Would I like to erase and sync to this cpu."
    10. This time I click cancel and try to update my software from 1.0.3 to the new version of 1.1.
    It tells me it has been updated wait 15 seconds and it should be fine.
    11. I then get the same message as before "my ipod is synced to another cpu. Would I like to erase and sync to this cpu."
    I am clueless as to what to do now. I was detailed so I could hopefully get some specific advice as to what to do next.

    Finally a solution!!!!!!!!!!!
    While I tried every option that was passed along here and none of them worked I appreciate the help and suggestions. I took it to the apple store and they fixed it. They said it was messed up because I probably had plugged it into too many different computers but i only plugged it inti one other computer but who cares.
    Here is what to do if you are desperate: Most owners know that if you push the menu and the center button at the same time the ipod will restart. WELL!!!! If you can't do anything with your ipod you need to press the center button and the play/pause button at the same time and this will restart the ipod and put it in disk mode. Connect it to your cpu and open itunes. It will erase eveyrhing and reset it from scratch. All the way back to having to name your ipod again. Just a thought for those who don't mind losing their info and if they already have it saved to put back on.

  • Help with iPod video

    Hi, I have a problem with my iPod or iTunes ( don´t know which one is the problem ).
    When I transfer a video from my computer to my iPod using iTunes it shows its a video ( the video is mpeg4 )all good till here then I disconnect my iPod and watch the video ( on my iPod ) and everything still good till here, here comes the problem I connect my iPod again to my computer, open iTunes but the video that I was watching before connect it now appears like a song and can´t watch it on my iPod I can only listen to it like a song.
    Why happen this ?
    Please Help >.<

    Yes I am using the version of iTunes that u said and I use videora for enconde the videos.
    I´ll be more specific, I transfer a video to my ipod using itunes then I disconnect the ipod and watch my video using my ipod, I connect again my ipod, open itunes but the video I had transfered disapeared from my ipod and I can only play it, the one in ipod, using itunes.
    Now if I click on the "Get info"/Summary, it shows its a video file, but If I go the the "otpions tab" the video type ( music video, movie etc ) dosen´t exits.
    I know that I can listen videos like songs but what I mean is that the video switched for some reason to audio type so I can only listen to it and its supposed to be a video file. ( on my ipod )

  • Help with Ipod, restoring, and updating Itunes!

    I was trying to buy a game when it told me I had to update my Iphone software to 3.1.2. So I plugged my Ipod in, and tried to update it. It then told me I needed to update Itunes to 9.0.3 before I could update my Ipod. So I started to update Itunes when an error came up.
    So I thought that maybe I didn't really need to update Itunes, so I went into the Itunes store and bought the update for my Ipod. It started to download, and then it froze. My ipod had the screen with the apple on it.
    So I didn't know what to do and I looked at tech support and it said to restart your computer. So I unplugged the Ipod and restarted the computer. When the computer came back on I pugged the ipod back in and the screen said to connect to Itunes.
    So I connected it to Itunes and all my information was gone! It said it detected my Ipod was in recovery mode and to restore the ipod. So I try to restore it and then it says error (1603) and won't let me restore my ipod.
    I tried looking up the error and I couldn't find anything. I have no idea what I did and I'm worried I may have lost everything.
    So now I can't even get my Ipod to turn on and it's my dads and he is not very happy. And I don't think he has backed it up in a while. So help would be VERY APPRECIATED!!!!!!

    hi i have a similar problem as well, my ipod touch showed the connect to itunes icon, i did it and still showed it. i think this is after i tried installing the latest software up date. this is the second ipod this has happened to of mine. i am so frustrated and i would really appriciate help from an apple techicians or anyone else. i saved up a long time for this ipod. pls email [email protected] or txt +254724446340!

  • Help with ipod classic 80gb 2nd new ipod not working

    I need some help with my ipod, this is the second ipod I have had in the same number of weeks the first one worked fine for about 8 days and then when syncing one night it froze and then would not disconnect, I searched the support section and worked how to reset the ipod which | did many times, in the end I restored the ipod to the factory settings and synced again the end result of this was that the ipod would not turn on despite everything that I tried. The apple log would appear and the ipod would then try desperatley to switch itself on with the apple logo appearing and disappering all the time. Apple have replaced the ipod and I have fully charged the new ipod synced it this evening all was ok, the ipod synced and then told me to disconnect and the same thing is happening again I have tried to reset multiple times and all that happens now is the apple logo appears and disappers it will not switch on or off, itunes keeps telling me that it cannot recognise the ipod at this time and the safely remove section on my task bar on my computer is telling me that the ipod has malfunctioned. can anyone help? am I doing something wrong someone suggested that I should have downloaded itunes once I had my ipod and not before, I have about 20GB of music in itunes and I was not aware that you needed to use or own an ipod to use this music storage system
    HELP
    Thanks in anticipation

    well it looks like you might have a tech issue here; try to return the ipod and choose a different store and buy one ... also try to uninstall itunes totally, back up your songs on a CD or DVD, and then re-install a fresh new copy of itunes ... this might work ... good luck!

  • Help with iPod Shuffle - 1st generation - After restoring

    Okay, i needed to restore my iPod shuffle (1st gen), as it was n't letting me put songs on. So when it restored, it started to autofill from the music library randomly, so all my songs were jumbled up. I didn't want this, so I tried to autofill it myself without the 'choose items randomly' box ticked, but it wouldn't synch. So, I restored it again, and tried again. As it was restoring, I noticed in a box that came up, I think were you type in the name of your iPod, there was a box that said something along the lines of 'Autofill from music library automatically when restored', so i unticked it. When it was restored again, and now completely empty, it wouldn't let me autofill manually again. So, just to get songs on my iPod, i have to have them on random, which I do NOT want.
    Does anybody know what to do? I've tried that reset utlity thing, but that just comes up with the same thing.
    Any help will be welcome
    Thankyou!!!
    iPod Shuffle 1st Generation Windows XP

    On the contents page at the bottom, there is a box that reads "Choose Items Randomly". Uncheck it. I just noticed it while trying to sync my own iPod.

  • NEED HELP WITH IPOD

    Hello all!! Need some help here. When I plug my ipod into the computer...my Ipod no longer shows up in the "source" window on itunes. A "do not disconnect screen" will flash on my Ipod for hours on end.
    I have already reset my Ipod. Dont know what to do next.
    Thanks friends!

    How to I go through the warranty service process.
    If you purchased from a non Apple store recently (~ a few weeks), I'd take it back and get another.
    You can take it to an Apple retail store or request service here -> iPod Service Request
    I mean i know you can request service, but you have to pay for that.
    If it is within 180 days of purchase, you do not have to pay for anything. If it is after 180 days but before the one year warranty is up, it's ~$29 for shipping.
