HT1386 directory (harddrive) into my IPOD Touch 4. I get an unknown reason -50 error for their names during syncing attempts. 1 album is greyed names on my IPOD. What can I do?
I bought some mp3 music files from Amazon that will not sync from the Itunes directory onto my IPOD Touch 4. What can I do to get them to sync? I am getting a -50 unknown reason error message when the system tries certain songs. I also bought a whole album from Amazon in mp3s that downloaded to my Itunes directory, yet only shows up as greyed out on my IPOD. What can I do? Most of the rest of my songs have synced with the IPOD. I called Amazon's help line but they say I have to call Apple's help line, and it is just past the end of my year's service. I wondered if it was due to the new Amazon cloud software, but they claim it isn't since the songs play on my hard drive. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks for the information. I actually fixed my problem after many hours of experimentation in two different ways.
I found that when I filled in more information in the catalog about songs on mixture albums, I had to always check the COMPILATION box to have those songs sync correctly. Apple didn't say anything about that. Without the checkmark on each song in the compilation album, the song would cause a 50 error.
I also found that if I moved the problem songs (that caused the error 50 message) out of my Itunes Library and reimported them, that stopped them from causing the error 50. So I deleted them and reimported them into the library. I found that some of the songs in the Itunes catalog had showed weird locations with addresses like C:\\\documents and settings...instead of the real pathway that might have been C:\documents and settings.. Some pathway addresses had become corrupted for some reason in the information that my Itunes library stored. So when I reimported them into the ITunes library from another location, their pathways were fixed and they no longer caused the 50 error while syncing. I painstakingly identified each song that was failing and deleted each specific song to clear up the problems.
That said, I do appreciate this board and the fact that others are willing to take time to help other users. Much obliged.

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.
Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.

My ipod touch says it is disabled and to connect to itunes, but it won't let me. It is froze....what can I do?
Connect in recovery mode to restore, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

I downloaded podcast from a polish radio site. They are fine and working on my macpro but when I try to copy them to my ipod I get a massage that " this podcast can not be played on this ipod" . what can I do?
Or because the episodes are video but are in a format which plays on iTunes but not on an iPod Touch. Only the originator of the podcast can do anything about that.

if i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other
They can share an Apple ID, but each device must use a different email address when setting up FaceTime. Create a gmail email (or hotmail, or ...) address and use that on one of the devices when you setup FaceTime.
You don't actually have to use the 'new' email address, it is probably just used as an index to reference the correct device when initiating a call via the FaceTime server. -

My daughter lost her iPod, what can I do to find it?
My daughter lost her iPod, what can I do to find it if someone turns it in?
Change her iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries. -

I have an iPad 1 and cannot get the Apps to complete their updates. I have deleted my account, reset the iPad, signed back into my account, synced with my Airbook and they still won't update. what can I try next? Thank you
Look and see if you have a stalled download in iTunes - it could be a song or a podcast - if there is something that has not completed in there, your app updates will not download. Finish those downloads first, if you have any.
Check to make sure. -
I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and the screen went yellow. The battery wasnt low when it happened. It has been like this all day. What can I do to fix this?? PLEASE HELP!
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 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.

HELLO! I have an Ipod Touch thats 32 gb, and its the really old one without the camera. ( im sorry i dont know which generation it is, but i bought it in 2010. ) Anyways, I've had this Ipod for almost 3 years now, and it still works pretty good. The thing im really worried about is that recently, my Ipod has started to overheat, meaning when i touch it, its almost burning. This happens when I charge it, or when I play games on it while charging the Ipod. When i remove the charger, it stops burning/overheating and goes back to normal. Why does this keep happening? Also, what can I do to stop it? please help!!!
Thankyou!J.K. ROFLing is correct. It is normal for the iPod to get quire warm when charging and during heavy use.. If concerned make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
