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!

HT201210 why won't my new ipod restore and update on my previous itunes?

what do i do when my new ipod wont restore and update on my previous itunes?

What happens when you try? Error message?

Need serious help with Ipod nano and WinXP

A few days ago my fiancee was moving songs to her Ipod when it automatically tossed all of my songs onto her Ipod so she deleted them from Itunes and tried to continue. Something happened and she got a message that her Ipod "could not be read from or written to" so I hooked mine up to see if it was a hardware problem and all of my music was also deleted and now I get the same message. We have uninstalled the software, reinstalled the original CD, updated to v.6 and still get the same message. Also, when we try to uninstall the updated Ipod software we get an error message 0x80040707 access denied.
We can see the Ipods when we open Itunes, but can't move any songs to our Ipods. Also gives an error msg about not being able to copy music because of missing playlists...I never had any playlists. These things are only 6 months old and I can't afford to pay $60 for phone tech support. If anyone has the answer plz respond or email me at [email protected]
This has been giving us a headache for a week already. Thanks in advance.

There are a couple of articles you can check out for help:
"-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
Hudgie - iPod cannot sync because one or more playlists are missing

Odd circumstances re:system restore, and updated iTunes

I've always ran iTunes perfectly fine, but I recently updated it, but ran into other problems with software I installed later... suffice it to say, I had to restore to a time before I updated iTunes to get my other programs running. After that, I was unable to run iTunes.. I've uninstalled, and reinstalled many times, and I get this error when it finishes installing..
" Error signature AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 6.0.1.3 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040 "
Along with a crash window that says it needs to close. When I try and look at the technical info of the error report, it looks really really long... and I don't want to take up all that space...
Anyways, after I install, it seems like its finished, but it gives me the same error message when I attempt to open iTunes. Please Help!

hi Faema!
" Error signature AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 6.0.1.3 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040 "
that one almost always indicates a broken quicktime. try to launch your quicktime. do you get an error message?
if you can't launch your quicktime, let's try a careful standalone QT 7.0.3 install. see:

Hi,
you need to understand how eventing works in BSP and MVC architecture. Pls refer to the below link for a basic understanding of how BSP works - View, Controller and Model class concepts.
http://www.sapdev.co.uk/webapps/bsp/washome.htm
For your requirement -
1. you need a view on which you will create a drop down list UI element and a table view element
2. you will need to create a contoller class - this will be used to handle the event that will be triggered when user selects an entry from drop down list
3. you will need a model class in which you will write the business logic to retrieve employees of selected department.
Pls search this forum or blogs for - data binding with BSPs, Table View. Pls read these concepts and try to develop your requirement. You can come back to this forum if you face any issues during development.
hope this helps.

Help with iPod alarm and playlist, please

Hello friendly iPod people...
I am the happy owner of a brand new 20GB iPod with color display. I use the iPod for different things, and one of them is to listen to music as I go to bed (with a set of powered speakers). Since I now have a new version of the iPod (I am replacing a 2G unit), I would like to use the alarm setting to wake to music as well. I tried it this morning, and it seems that the iPod will not wake from sleep to play music. The alarm/playlist will start if the iPod has not gone to sleep, but to me that seems like a silly way for the alarm to function.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this one of the limitations of the alarm function?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Michael

Great News!
I've figured out the reason it wasn't working and was able to "wake to music" this morning:
Yes, you need to run "Sleep Timer" as the shut-down method in order for the Alarm to awaken with a playlist, AND the playlist needs to be at least as long as the sleep timer setting--many of mine were slightly less than 60 minutes, and I was using the 60 minute timer. Last night I tried a playlist that was much longer than 60 minutes for sure, ran the sleep timer and set the alarm to music at 6 am. Imagine my surprise when my music began playing softly playing, just as planned, at 6 am!!!!
So, thanks for all your supportive comments, and I hope this helps anyone else who was working on this. I now know to pay more attention to the length of my playlists.
Cheers,
Michael

Need help with many devices and one itunes account!!

I recently purchased each of my kids an Ipod Touch. They all three are now using my Itunes account which has become a little bit of a problem. The biggest issue now is with iMessage. When a friend send a text message or tries to Facetime one of the kids, we all get the message. They are all using my itunes account user name and password, for apps, music, etc....
What's the best way to seperate the three devices so they aren't all getting the same text messages? Also, is it best to set up their own user accounts to sync their ipods with itunes?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you want to use only one AppleID account for multiple devices but seperate imessage, you will have to use different email address to differentiate the device.
I would assume all your devices' imessage are setup under your AppleID email address.
First go to your kid Device's SETTINGS/MESSAGE/RECEIVE AT, Add another email address, type in email address of your kid(you will be asked to enter your Appleid password). Once done, an email from Apple will be sent to this new email address to verify. When your kid receive this email, click "Verify Now" link. The new email address now is ready for imessage.
Now go back to the same Device SETTINGS/MESSAGE/RECEIVE AT, go into your original email(your AppleID email) and tap "remove this email". This will prevent your own imessage to appear on this device.
Do the same for all other devices for other kids.
You don't need to change anything for your own device.
That mean everyone will have an indepedent imessage based on their own email address.
Hope this explains.

Help with ipod touch and iphone receiving text messages

i just bought ipod touch for my daughter for christmas and me and my husband have the iphone 4 when my daughter texts me with imessage my husband gets them all and see our conversation and when me and my husband text back and forth through the iphones she get them too.Help I need to get this fix I don't want my daughter to keep getting my messages.

Each iDevice needs to have one unique messaging email address. One the iPod go to Settings>Messagers>Receive At and ann another, unique messaging email address and delete the other on. I am also assuming that on the iPhone you alos use one email messaging address. You need to also make thos unique.

Please help with backing up and updating on Lacie external HD

hello,
This is my first time to use an external HD. I am mainly using it to back up photos, music, bookmarks, fonts, address book and movies. Once I get everything on the external hd, how does one go about updating periodically? Do I have to manually update every category? There isn't a way that you can tell the computer to update the files is there? I have heard from some people that you can schedule updates. The Lacie website or user guide has no info on updating!
Sorry to be asking such dumb questions, but I really don't understand how the update process works. Thanks!

Cathy:
Nice going. Backing up is the best thing you can do for your data. I suggest that you make a bootable clone of your entire HDD rather than backing up individual files. In that way you will have a current backup, as well as an emergency boot drive and you can boot from the external drive and run diagnosics and repairs on your internal HDD.
First you need to format your HDD. It it is larger than you internal HDD, I suggest that you partition it so that the first partition is approximately the size of your internal HDD, and the other partition you can use for whatever. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Backup and Recovery has excellent tips on backup. He uses Retrospect, which I have found difficult to use. As suggested by the previous poster, SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner are the cloning utilities of choice. There are differences, but the main difference which impacts you immediately is that to be able to make regular updates of your clone you will need to register SuperDuper ($28), while Carbon Copy Cloner is donation ware.
Here are step by step directions for formatting and partitioning your extnernal HDD:
Formatting, Partitioning Erasing an External HDD
• Connect external HDD to computer
• Turn on external HDD
• Start up computer and log in
• Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and launch DU.
• Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left side bar.
• Select Partition tab in main panel.
• Select number of partitions in pull-down menu above Volume diagram.
For more partitions than one, after you have selected the number of partitions adjust the size of the partition by selecting the top partition and typing in the size; then move down if more adjustments need to be made.
(See Dr. Smoke’s FAQ Backup and Recovery for tips on partitioning external HDD)
• Type in name in Name field (HD Backup, or whatever you want to call it)
• Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
• Click Partition button at bottom of panel.
• Select Erase tab
• Select the sub-volume (indented) under Manufacturer ID
• Check to be sure your Volume Name and Volume Format are correct.
• Click Erase button
• Repeat above procedure to erase each partition
• Quit Disk Utility.
Once you have formatted your HDD, now you are ready to clone your internal HDD to it.
Creating a Clone using Carbon Copy Cloner
• Connect external HDD to computer
• Download and launch Carbon Copy Cloner
• Select a Source. This will normally be the Disk which you want to backup
• If you wish to backup/clone only your Users Folder or other folder click on the checkbox. If you want to copy the entire HDD, check Macintosh HD.
• Select a Target. This will normally be your external HDD, (or, if you so decide, you can backup/clone to a Disk Image on the external HDD.)
• Cloning Options: for the first time you should backup everything. For updating your backup you should select Incremental backup of selected items.
• If you want your clone to be an exact copy of the original you should check the box to Delete items not on the original.
• Click Clone
Clone Old HDD to new HDD using SuperDuper
• Format external HDD (see directions above)
• Connect external HDD to computer
• Download and launch SuperDuper
• In the Copy field select your internal HDD
• To is your newly formatted external HDD
• Using backup all files
• Click Options button
• Check Repair Disk Permissions on Source
• During copy Erase Destination HDD then copy from Source
• On successful completion Quit SuperDuper
Please do post back with further questions/comments.

HT204387 Help with ipod touch and bluetooth headphones

Hi
I have an iPod Touch (5th gen) and I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth Headphones but my iPod can't find them. I can connect them with my iPad no problem, but not my iPod.
There's nothing on the headphones that I can change I don't think.
Any suggestions??!
Thanks
Kerstey

- Reset the headphones. Sometimes you have to do that to pair to another device. How yo do that depends upon the headphones
- On the iPod
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Y will also have to rejoin all wifi netwporks

If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

IPHONE 3G STUCK ON RESTORE AND UPDATE AFTER 4.2 UPDATE FAILED HALFWAY THRU

I plugged my iPhone 3g in to iTunes and a new update was available for it (update version 4.2). So I downloaded it and started the update, and it got to the very last step and it quit and a pop out came saying "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored or updated. An error occurred (37)." And now it the iPhone won't even turn on unless its plugged in and even when it's plugged in it only shows the screen that says to plug into to iTunes, which just keeps repeating "iPhone is in recovery mode, needs to be retored to be used". And I have already done EVERY SINGLE TROUBLE SHOOTING STEPS REPEATEDLY. Nothing seems to work, if there is anyone that can help I would appreciate more than anything, this is my sisters iPhone, I was just borrowing it, now I broke it haha, I could really use someones help.
I also have an iPod Touch 2g from a year or two back that had the same problem but it was completely black no matter what, holding the home and power button or anything wouldnt work. But it still says its connected but is doing the same thing as the iPhone, it won't restore, it quits right at the end and says the same error message.

Your antivirus or firewall is blocking the update.

Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
