Not good
Error (-1)
Try on another computer
Also see:
iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
Then see:
-1 error
-1 error too
If still problem that means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT4235 iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working. Sync test says: No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod. Any clues what to do?

Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

I recently update my iTunes and it deleted all my songs. I was able to get some back via iCloud but I can't seem to sync my old playlist. Any suggestions??

I can't open a file I just created a week ago and it says pages needs to be updated to open the file but its up to date

I can't open a file I just created a week ago and it says pages needs to be updated to open the file but its up to date, what do I do?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

HT1386 When I connect my iPod Touch to a new laptop (Macbook Air) the "Info" tab won't appear and therefore I cannot sync it with my new iTunes. How can I sync this iPod with the iTunes on my new laptop?

There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

I seem to have lost most of my 9000 photos when I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3. iPhoto won't work now and says it needs an upgrade not available in the UK. Only a few of the 9000 photos appear on Photos! HELP?

Move the incompatible iPhoto version to the Trash, before you try to reinstall from the AppStore, but don't empty the Trash.
update as described here:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore Purchases tab with ⌘R, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.

HT5621 I recently changed my apple id email from an old one to a new one and now I can't sign out of my old one on my iPhone 5 because it says I need a password. I cannot give that password because it is part of the old apple ID. How do I change IDs?

Hi sharonpalencia,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot sign in, or sign out in this case, to your Apple ID. In this situation you may need to temporarily edit your Apple ID back to the original email address so that you can sign out. Once signed out, edit the Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in. Please use the attached article for further information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
Have a great day,
Joe

All of a sudden, my ipod touch will only recognize/play purchased items. I then have to completely reset the ipod and re-sync. I've had to do this 6 times, and support has been no help.

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

HT1329 How can I sync my iPod touch with a new laptop without losing apps, books, and music?

My new laptop is already authorized and I have all my music in the iTunes library. I just need to able to get all my apps on it and I need to be able to sync without anything being deleted. Please help.

Move or copy all the content from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
iDevices are NOT backup devices.

Is it possible i can sync my old ipod touch with my new laptop even tho it used to be synced with my old computer without loosing all my music?

how do i sync my ipod touch with my laptop without loosing all of my songs from my ipod already?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTune and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.

How can I put my music from my ipod touch on my new Laptop computer????

I just purchased a laptop and I would like to put all my music from my ipod touch in to my new laptop. When I try to sync, I get a message that tells me all my music will be deleted! What can I do?
Thanks,
Matt

You should move the music from your old computer to the new one then sync. The ipod touch is not a backup device.
You should always have a backup. If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup (bad idea), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:
Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
The ipod touch will sync with one computer at a time. When you sync to a different computer, it will erase the current content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer.

How do i sync my iPod touch with my new laptop?

I use to have a dell computer with my itunes library on it. I downloaded music on the dell and synced it to my ipod touch. But, the dell computer crashed and i am unable to access my original itunes library. Now i bought a new macbook pro and would like to sync all of my music from my ipod to my new computer but i am not sure how. Itunes gives me the option to delete all music currently on my ipod or only transfer purchased items from my ipod into my new library...but not all of my songs/movies were purchased or purchased through itunes.

Youll have to find a 3rd party program to pull your stuff off your ipod. I know there are some out there for the pc, not sure about for mac, but Im sure theres got to be. Itunes wont pull stuff off your ipod that you didnt buy from itunes, not even sure itll pull everything ya bought through itunes either.
