HT1719 My ipod shuffle says that it is locked and is not able to sync....

I want to put music on it and will do anything to restore it but i don't know any information on my account because on of my friends did it for me. Please help if you can.

Hi JessBeth,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod shuffle is locked and can't sync, there are a few methods you can try to get access to it. See this article for help:
iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1350
Unlocking iPod
You can unlock iPod in one of two ways:
Enter the combination on iPod using the same controls you used to set the combination. If you do not enter the correct combination, the digits onscreen flash red. When you enter the combination correctly, iPod will unlock and return you to the last viewed screen.
Connect iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.
If you can't unlock iPod using either of these methods, you can restore your iPod to factory settings. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to iPod.If you want to change the primary computer that your iPod is associated with, do this:
Restore your iPod. Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.
Open iTunes and synchronize.
Best,
Jeremy

I will check. Can the security update be installed if you can no longer open the Mac App Store app?
I was listening to the MacCast podcast and the host had a similar issue and did something similar to the link below. I am concerned that I may mess something up by doing this.

My iPod shuffle (4th generation) battery is dead and will note charge. It is one year old and has been charged about 4 times.

I tried charging it last night. The shuffle got very warm and did not charge. The indicator light was not on. I just tried hooking it up to the computer with iTunes running and it has been plugged in for 3 hours. It is cool to the touch this time.

The standard warranty is for one year from date of purchase. So, if there is a hardware fault, you may want to have it checked under warranty. If there is a nearby Apple Store, you can do so with an Apple tech support person at the Genius Bar. To make a reservation, use the store's web page

My ipod keeps saying that an error has occured when i try to sync it to itunes

When i try to sync my ipod touch up to my computer, the ipod syncs but i cannot get music off of my itunes account onto my ipod.

Whatis the exact wording of the error message?

I have 1 ipod but have diffrent acounts. my computer is setup for my ipod 4th gen that i had stolen and i would like to sync all of that music to my older nano. is there a way to do that without wiping out all my old songs that were on my nano?

so i have one ipod and it is a 2005 ipod nano. i have plugged into my computer and i cant get to the music on it. i am trying to burn it onto a disk or even a diffrent folder on my computer so i can just have select songs on my ipod. the reason i have 2 diffrent accounts is because i made a new account for my ipod 4th generation and it got stolen. so now i have my older ipod. is there a way to get it onto my computer with out wiping all my old songs on it?

iPods do not work with "accounts." They work with your iTunes library. You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod. One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time. iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content. Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to? If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library. Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library. You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

What if my ipod touch says its up to date and its not?

I have a ipod touch 4th generation it has ios 6.1.6. I am attempting to update but it states that it is up to date?

A fourth generation iPod touch is up to date at 6.1.6. It isn't capable of running iOS 7 or above.

My iPod shuffle says it has 9 songs on it , but it will only play two of them. What is the problem and what do I do to hear the other songs

My iPod shuffle says that there are 9 songs on it, but it will only play two of them. What is the problem and how can this be fixed?

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer. Do this to Reset your shuffle

Start up computer. Run iTunes. Connect shuffle.
If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

Lots of things in the world stink. It stinks that my car isn't a hybrid so I'm stuck with lower gas mileage. It stinks that my TV doesn't support 4K movies. It stinks that my printer isn't color. It's what we just have to live with it if we're not willing to purchase new products.
