Help with iPod Needed

My iPod Touch started "crashing" repeatedly in certain apps then I lost all my contacts. It also stopped allowing me to add new events to my calendar. I restored back to factory settings and now it just sits and spins and drains the battery. Can't even turn it on. Any suggestions other than taking it to the Apple store?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 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.

Need help with Ipod/FM transmitter use in Europe !!!

HELP! I need to know if I can use my ipod and my Griffin FM Transmitter to listen to tunes and charge the player with a car in Europe (Germany, Italy, etc.)
HP Windows XP

It appears that FM transmitters have been passed for use recently by Germany, Switzerland and Iceland. When or if the UK or any other European countries will allow them I don't know.

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 mini (Battery issues)

I am an owner of an iPod mini (1st generation) that I bought in February from Amazon. The mini has constant battery issues that have led me to suspect a bad battery within.
For instance; I leave my mini in it's charging cable overnight, and it reports "charged" in the morning. I leave it for the rest of the day in my coat's poket but during my walk home from the bus stop, I find that the mini's battery is completely DISCHARGED and doesn't work at all. I'm sick and tired of having my battery last only a minute before it completely dies on me while walking home.
Can anyone lead me to a source of help? I NEED to get this problem fixed as I don't want to listen yo all my music while having to be hooked up to a cable.
iPod Mini (1st generation) Windows XP Battery discharged in a minute.

Edited by an Apple Host
Apple will replace your battery (if its within one year of purchase, no receipt needed, just the SERIAL # on the back of your mini), and you can get repair for FREE, just $32 for shipping and handling, OR you can, if an Apple store is near your home or in your town, take it to them, and get a REPLACEMENT mini on the spot, for FREEEEE!!!
Try those methods, but i HIGHLY suggest you take it to an Apple store first and see their take on the issue!!!

Need help with iPhoto, Need help with iPhoto

Hey there!!!
When I plug in my iPhone I go to iPhoto and can choose to import the pictures. I also tried Image Capture as it seemed easier to organise my pictures, making folders, sub-folders, etc. The problem with this is everytime I plug my iPhone into the computer click on Import the system automatically makes second, third, fourth, etc copies of each picture. This also means that there is a copy of my pictures on iPhoto and on Image Capture - which I do not really need.
I have tried to make Albums and Folders on iPhoto. Sometimes when I delete a picture as it has been saved in two albums it gets deleted from both albums. Why is this? How can I make Albums or Folders to organise my pictures. If my pictures are transferred directly onto iPhoto, can I find them anywhere else in my computer? If I wanted to burn pictures from various albums on a disc how could I do that on iPhoto? Also I dont want events to create themselves. How can I avoid this?
I would like help with either using iPhoto or know how the stop the duplicating of pictures on Image Capture.
Maybe there is a better way I can transfer the pictures onto my MacBook??
Thanks a mil!!!

Are you running a "referenced" or "managed' library?
Image Capture does not store phortos in it. It's an application for uploading photos to wherever you tell it to, either a folder on the hard drive or into iPhoto. If you want to use only Image Capture to upload your photos to iPhoto then set iPhoto's General preferences to the following:
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurances of that photo in the library.

Help with Ipod mini

I'm having a problem with my mini. It turns it self on, and then right back off constantly, until the batteries run out. when i hook it up to the computer, it recharges, and then goes back to the on/off cycle. the computer won't recognize it. All i see is the apple logo clicking on then off then on etc...
I've tried resetting it, but it just goes back to the on/off cycle.
Please help!

iPod Doesn’t Appear on OS X Desktop or in iTunes
I hope this helps!
The other option is to just kinda let it run itself out of battery, then see how it's doing.

Need help with Ipod demensions

I had a 15gb 3rd gen. I need to replace it with an ipod of the same exact size. If I have to get another 15gb that is fine. I also have a 30gb 3rd gen and it is thicker. I read somewhere that the 3rd gen 40gb is the same size as the 15gb?? Can I get a 4th gen? It can be a little thinner but the outside dimensions need to be the same. Any help would be appreciated.

why do you need an ipod the exact same size as an old ipod...? HuH?...xXxmartinxXx

NEED HELP WITH IPOD 4TH GEN

I have an ipod touch 4th generation I forgot my password. Every time I try to restore it, it seems as tho its going to work but then comes up with some thing saying THAT I NEED MY PASSWORD. I have no idea what else to do. PLEASE HELP!!

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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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 most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Need help with ipod & itunes

Hey everyone.
I just got a ipod video and i went to my friends house and put a whole bunch of songs on it. Well i want those songs on my ipod video onto my itunes on my home computer but i cant seem to get them on without over writting the songs on my ipod video with the songs on my itunes already, which i dont want to happen because i dont want to loose any of the songs on my ipod video. Someone please help me.

1) go back to your friends house and put all the song files you want into a folder on his computer.
2) plug in your ipod to his computer and enable disk use.
3) then open it up from "my computer", you'll see a few folders like "notes", "contacts" etc.
4) drag and drop the folder you created with all the song files. Don't put this in one of the ipod's pre-made folders.
5) go home, open your ipod again from disk use and select the folder you made with all the song files. drag and drop this anywhere you want in your computer (I suggest putting it with where you store more music)
Lastly you need to import these songs, open itunes and select File>Add Folder to Library. you will then select the folder of music from your friends house, wherever you dropped it.
After you have added the songs to your library you are free to delete ONLY the folder you created in your iPod (with the music files from your friend).
Hope this helps

Hey please read need help with ipod

how do I set my playlist so if i hook up my ipod it only downloads my songs but if anyone else hooks up there ipod there songs won't come into my playlist? PLEASE HELP
Message was edited by: Alissa-55

first of all, i'm not sure if i understand your question fully but i believe you just want your OWN playlist so that you can put the songs YOU want on it and no one ELSE can put their music in it?
if that's the case, you just need to make your own playlist on your ipod.
open up itunes and near the top, select "file".
select "new playlist".
this new playlist should appear on the left-hand side of itunes under 'playlists' right at the bottom. when it appears, it will read 'untitled playlist'. click it once then again, so that you are able to name the playlist to your liking.
when it comes to putting songs into your own playlist, you can drag any song from your itunes library. choose a song from your itunes library and drag it over to your designated playlist til you see your playlist is outlined with blue and your cursor has a plus sign just below it.
hope that helps.

So wouldyou recommend that I update? It was made for use with an att sim but was unlocked for use with a tmobile sim... I just so happen to have att. So the phone being locked for att wouldn't be a bother for me. I've just heard of people getting sim card read errors after updating, so I was wondering if I should even bother.

Need help with iPod updater

I recently downloaded the iPod updater for my iPod Nano, but everytime i try to open it, it doesnt come up. I tried downloading the iPod updater a second time, but still the same results. I click on it, and the little hour glass shows up as if its about to open but then it just goes away and the app doesnt open. If someone can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Just out of curiosity, did you download the correct version of the updater - i.e., the Windows version versus the Mac version? Just had to ask.
