HT2731 I lost my ipod for about six months now I cannot get the ipod store to come on screen on my pc or log into the itunes store. What should I do?
I lost my ipod for about six months, now when I plugged it into my pc, the itunes store no longer shows up and i cannot connect to any app or itunes from the ipod.
Change your 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 your bank or any 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.

My iPod has been lost for about a month now and I wanted to know if I can find it using the serial number because I don't have iCloud set up on my ipod
No.
You cannot.

Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power? Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.
This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago. Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again. You might want to clear your cache before reloading. Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try. Good Luck

I've had my new iPhone 6 Plus for about a month now and I'm just now syncing it with my computer to put music on it and it has been on Step 5 of 5 for hours now. I have reinstalled iTunes to see if that was the problem with no luck.
All it says is "waiting for changes to be applied".

Why has my 3G stopped working on my iphone? It is enabled, and I never had problems with it before, but for about 2 months now it has refused to work and as a result I can't send any attachments such as photos or videos via text.
Cellular data is a feature from your phone carrier. Have you contacted them to resolve your issue.

Got a new iPhone that I've been using for about a month now, so the question is how can I get the pictures from my old iPhone and keep the pictures I have on the new iPhone?
Connect old iPhone to computer and save the pictures on computer.
Connect new iPhone and sync the pictures to your new iPhone. -

I've had the new iPhone 5 for about a month now, and it is still saying it is currently restoring still. Is that supposed to still be happening? Everything works just fine, but it's not letting me update the new software bc it's still saying it's restoring.

Is there any solutions yet. I'm also having this problem for almost a month now. I'm using two Macbook Pro Mountain Lion and Yosemite, two iPads and iphone 5s. All updated. I use Apps that needed to be updated. Well, I try to purchase a trial version a month ago and I want to buy it now but always say I have a billing problem. Also, I have new devices with Apps that has to the Appstore, some are free but also give me the same headaches. I tried all the solutions posted on this forum, also tried other solutions, obviously it did not work at all. Does Apple hear about this? Settings > Store and signed out/signed in did not work for me. Please respond.

Were you running iOS 7 beta? If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.

I've had my iPhone 4 for about 4 months now, and suddenly some apps aren't working. They open and appear to work, but as soon as you try to do something it doesn't load. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. I also force shut down my phone. I synced it to iTunes. Nothing is working. Does anyone know what I can do?Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement. -
Hi there. There is a software Radio Javan that I had installed before and worked . But it is about a month that it can't be opened. I removed it once and installed again but doesn't work again. What should I do?
As when there is a problem with any other software, contact the software developer for the app.

This is the third time of writing this on your Apple Support Communities! My Ipod Classic will not sync. I have had it checked over at an Apple Genius Bar and also its lead - they say it is OK. I have had my computer checked at the place that built it for me (Windows 7 desktop when I found Windows 8 childish and irritating). After collecting it, I again had the Ipod symbol back on my library page, which was a step forward. However, the Ipod still won't sync.
I have tried other USB ports. I have tried removing Itunes from computer and downloading it again - with the latest version of course. I have tried authorising my computer. I have tried resetting the Ipod. I have tried ringing the Apple helpline at vast expense - the first assistant was helpful and went through a number of procedures before suggesting I removed and replaced Itunes and then rang back after doing this. I was given a reference number to quote so that I wouldn't need to go through the whole rigmarole again with another assistant. But, unfortunately, I got an extremely offensive young man who more or less called me a liar when I quoted the job number I had been given. He flatly refused to accept that I had already spent ages on the phone that afternoon and said that my last call to Apple, to which the reference number referred, had been in November 2011. When I asked to speak to a manager, he put the phone down for ages and left me paying for minutes, just waiting. I put the phone down eventually and rang back, got this person again, and again asked to speak to a manager, whereupon the phone was put down on me. Needless to say, I am not keen to try this phone service again in a hurry. But I do desperately want to be able to download my Economist in audio podcasts, which I have been without for a whole month now. Please can someone knowledgeable take pity and help me? By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end. I have a newly built computer using Windows 7, the latest updated version.chicx wrote:

Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do. -
My iPod 4G has been going very slow! I want to restart it but my power button is broken. Please help it's been going slow for the past month. It's even slow as o type this message.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- 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.

So i need a 1 year warrenty on my ipod just in case it breaks. So, I need to know if i can still get a warrenty if its about 7 months old.
Yes, you can purchase AppleCare as long as the standard 1-year warranty has not yet expired.
Important notes
The AppleCare Protection Plan can be purchased only while your iPod or Apple TV is still covered under the standard one-year limited warranty. See AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete product details.
