HT2305 HOW TO RESTORE 6TH GEN IPOD CANT FIND DEVICE LIST. WANT TO DELETE EVERYTHING ON ITUNE AND IPODS AND START AGAIN

Have just aquired ipod 6th and 7th gereration and have got bungled up i tunes library and is full of query marks which I dont understand and want to dump all tunes and restore both ipods to blanks so I can have another go at loading music. Thanks for reading

Thanks for that Deggie as am over the hill for all this but what a gadget - have the blue tooth one as well and works great in the car but all tunes were screwed because of query marks. After restore am now putting 1500 old jazz tunes in from archive.net and working fine. Really obliged.

  • The spinning "wheel of death" does NOT go away! I've loaded too much stuff on my computer (including the entire Adobe CS6 software) and I want to delete everything on my macbook pro and start over? How do I clean everything up without buying MacKeeper?

    I use my MacBook Pro (Late 2009) for EVERYTHING and I have loaded so many apps, even doubles of some, I think!   My computer is running really SLOW and I think it is because I don't have enough memory. 
    I just installed the new Adobe CS6 and that was a BIG mistake.  The spinnning wheel of death doesn't stop! I wish I could load that program on my computer so I can use it "on the go", but I can't stand the spinning wheel! 
    I want to clean up my computer and get rid of EVERYTHING on it!!     Then, re-install the factory settings to run Lion.  I believe this will make the wheel stop spinning.
    However, how do I make sure that all of the extra stuff that is attached to the app, ( including all the cache') is deleted too?   I don't want to have to buy MacKeeper! 
    I am hoping the computer wizards or the apple team can give me an answer on how to clean up everything and start over.  I have saved everything on my desktop mac. 

    Thank you so much for the help!  I had heard bad things about MacKeeper and I don't want to screw up my macbook  any more than it already is!  I will do as you suggest.  Do you believe this is the best solution for the problem I described?
    Should I load my Adobe Creative Suite 6 (in the cloud version) on an external hard drive? 
    I am so tired of this spinning wheel....should I avoid putting the CS6 on my macbook pro altogether?
    I have it on my desk top mac, but wanted to be able to take the photo editing with me when I am "out and about".  I know I should probably buy the ipad, which would transport much easier, but even the ipad probably doesn't have the capacity to hold all the Adobe CS6 apps, correct?

    how does the 6th gen nano screen view from 2 different positions

    Same as the current Ipod Video or "Classic" there is an option under settings to toggle between original aspect ratio or Full Screen.

  • I have 2 itunes accounts. I can no longer use my first one for purchases so I had to start a new one and it will not sync from my new one without deleting everything on my same ipod from my previous account. How do I sync between both accounts?

  • I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

    Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
    Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
    Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
    This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library. 
    NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
    If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album.  Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes.  In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

    Hi!
    It looks like there might be some security settings or software on your laptop that's preventing the restore process from working.
    Check out this article in Apple's support. It shows you the steps you can take to try to get around error 1611.
    Like diesel vdub said, a DFU-mode restore might give you success where a regular restore might not, so maybe you can try that.
    What you need to do is put your phone into DFU mode, which is a low-level mode that helps the restore process get a little more done, or it can help iTunes get around certain roadblocks (hopefully like the one you're experiencing!). Your computer will install special DFU-iPhone drivers for it, and then iTunes will see it as a phone that needs restoring.
    To get your phone into DFU mode:
    Plug your phone into your laptop.
    Turn the phone off.
    Press and hold the power/lock button. Keep it held in, even after the display turns on and you see something on the screen. As soon as you see something on the screen, start holding the home button as well as the power button, so that they're being pressed together.
    Keep both buttons pressed down for 10 seconds.
    After 10 seconds, release the power button, but keep holding home until the laptop sees a new USB device. Once you see that, you're in DFU mode, and you can let go of buttons. Your iPhone screen will be blank during it all, even though it's actually on, in DFU mode.
    Now your restore should work!
    If your phone shows the Apple logo or anything else while you're trying to get it into DFU mode, then something went wrong. Try the steps again. If it suddenly starts up normally again, try reducing the time to a bit less than 10 seconds--try reducing it by about a second at a time. It should work!

  • HT201493 How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

    How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
    Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

  • HT2729 WHY do I lose all my playlist etc when adding to my iPod? Do I seriously have to keep everything in iTunes permanently?

    WHY do I lose all my playlist etc when adding to my iPod? Do I seriously have to keep everything in iTunes permanently?

    Keeping everything in an iTunes library, which you also backup, is the recommended way to deal with things. That way should your device need restoring you can connect to iTunes, restore and reload your content easily. The alternative is to manually manage the device, however should you need to restore it, damage it, or lose it, then you will also have lost the effort involved in ripping and organizing the media that you put onto it, and would need to repeat that process.
