How do I get the iPod icon to appear in iTunes without unplugging..

When I first plug my iPod Nano in and open iTunes, my iPod shows up in devices. I sometimes accidentally click the iPod icon, disconnecting the iPod.
Is there a way to reconnect without doing it manually? What I mean is, without unplugging and then plugging back in?

Not sure if this works because I don't have my iPod plugged in right now. If you go to the File menu in iTunes, is the "sync iPod" available or is it greyed out? If it's available, I would think that clicking it would bring the iPod back into the iTunes source window.
Again, not sure without having mine plugged in to check.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

The app icons I have on the iPad have just come up blank with the app name under it. How do I get the colorful icons to appear? The apps do work though

The Ipad icons are all just a grey box. How do I get the colorful icons?

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Do you have scroll bars enabled in the System Preferences > General tab (MacOS X 10.7 or later)?
Try, if setting this to "Show scroll bars > Always" will bring your scrollbar back.

How do i get the ipod icon to come up when itunes wont recognise it?

this has been happening repeatedly to me over the last 5 months since i first bought my ipod.. i thought it was something i was doing wrong but at this stage its taking the ****. whenever i try to put on a couple of albums onto it, itunes will freeze and perhaps shut its self down; the screen of the ipod will show that it is still connected to the computer and i either cannot, or i do not know how to eject the ipod in order to connect it again, as when i open up itunes again there is no icon for it and no matter what i do, nothing will bring up the icon for my ipod.
as i know too well if i disconnect my ipod all of my stuff will be deleted and as of this second i'm stuck in the dilemma of whether to disconnect it or not.. is there anything i can do? at this stage its becoming a bit soul destroying as i dont have all of my music on my itunes library.... pleeeeeeassse help... i'm using a pc by the way

How can I get the Scripts icon to appear in Mail?

I have recently installed some Mail scripts that are found in a Mail Scripts folder within Applications. There are also other Mail scripts that I can see, along with a bunch of other scripts, when I click on the Scripts icon in Finder. Why isn't there a Scripts icon within Mail as in all other applications? How do I run any of the Mail scripts if they can't be accessed within that application? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, the Mail Scripts you want to see & use should be in...
/Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts
You can attach a script to a Mail rule to enable actions by other applications or to increase the flexibility of existing actions. For example, you could set up a rule where an incoming message triggers a script that copies information from the message and then enters it into a database that works with AppleScript.
To attach an AppleScript script to a rule:
Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click Rules.
Add a rule or select an existing rule to edit.
Create or modify conditions as necessary.
From the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu, choose Run AppleScript.
Click Choose, locate your saved script, and then click Choose File.
Click OK to save the rule.
Do you have the Scripts Menu shiwing in the Menubar?

How do I get the iPod Touch to "forget" my iTunes/AppStore password?

I bought a Touch for my daughter for Christmas, and I don't want her to be able to purchase apps or other content without my permission. I purchased a couple of apps from the appstore for her, and I entered my password as part of the process. Now it doesn't ask for the password anymore! She will be able to download anything!
I've looked and I can't find any way to force a password check for each purchase.
Help!

iPod touch will not remember your password. The only reason you didn't have to put the password in twice is because the iPod remembers the password only for a few minutes so you don't have to constantly input it for everything single download.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next. You may have already tried some.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

- Move the Music app icon to the home page. It is usually easer to do it on the computer than on the iPod itself. The manual says how to move the apps.

How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro?

How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro? I want to be able to connect to my AppleTV.

I looked at that already. I've done everything it says: check to make sure wireless is working, make sure airplay is enabled, make sure device and apple tv are on the same network blah blah. The icon just isn't there. Unless I skipped a step. AirPlay works when I use it in the music app and in the video app, I jus can't get mirroring to work. I was looking at some other threads and mirroring doesn't seem to be working for a lot of people. Maybe I jus have to wait for an update =\
