I have an IPod, an IPhone and an IPad. Recently ITunes doesn't recognize any of them so I can't manage my Playlists from my computer. What has happened?

I have an IPod, an IPhone and an IPad. ITunes previously opened my device when I connected it to my computer, listing the device in the left column. Now the devices do not appear and I cannot manage my playlists. What has happened?

Should I buy the iPod touch 5g if I already have an iPod touch 2g and an ipad 2

Should I buy and iPod touch 5g when I already have an iPod touch 2g and an ipad 2

Well it is up to you. But there is some changes between the ipod 4 and ipod 5. I own both ipods and I would recommend getting the ipod5. These are some of the differences.
The ipod 5 has flash. It is very helpful especially if you like taking pictures at night.
The ipod 5 has siri. I personally like Siri, but if you don't you could always go to Siri settings and turn it off. Siri can be convinient in some cases. If you want to know the time in China or if you want to know the temperature in Hawaii.
Also it works much faster!
A ipod 5 comes in color
It is similar to a iphone and the best part f it is that it is cheaper than a iphone!

Hello, Sameh.tolba.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

I'm asking because ios5 introduced iCloud. You have to have updated to ios5 to see it.

IPhone says "Restore Needed", but iTunes doesn't recognize it. Now what?

My iPhone was sitting untouched this evening. When I woke it up, it said "Restore Needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes." But when I plug it in to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it. I have reset the phone to no avail. What do I do next?

Thanks for the reply. I tried everything suggested. Now when I try to restore the iPhone from iTunes, it says the iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (23).
I give up.
Would it be better to take the phone to the AT&T store where I bought it, or to an Apple store?

HT4539 I have an iPhone and an iPad, I've downloaded a book to my phone. How can I have the same book on my iPad without paying again?

I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad, I've downloaded a book to my iPhone but I don't know how to download the same book on my iPad. Do I have to pay again?

My IPOD Nono 2nd Gen showes up in ITunes but when I clike on it it just disapears and the only way to get IPOD Icon back is to disconnect it from PC then reconnect it when agin the icon apperas but when selected just disapears. Also I cannot Find the IPOD in the device Manager on PC not sure if this is cause of problem. The IPOD worked OK up to 4 weeks ago Can any one help please?

Try one or more of the following:
> Restart Your Computer
> Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
> Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.

I have an iMac, two iPhones and an iPad. I am moving to Australia. Can I use iCloud to be able to access everything I own?

I have tons of photos, music, files, etc. I want to be able to access them in AU. But I can't bring the devices with me. Is iCloud a good solution for this?

There's no incompatibility. The power suppplies and chargers you have will work as-is in AU. You will only require wall outlet plug adaptors. You can buy those from Apple (World Travel Kit) or from AAA stores.
iCloud is not a substitute for what is storable on a hard drive.

IPod touch won't turn on, charge, iTunes doesn't recognize it, and the hard reset doesn't work

My iPod touch 5th gen died so I put in it the charger. Now even the dead battery screen doesn't come on. iTunes will not recognize it, The hard reset won't work, recovery mode doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

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 another cable
- 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.

ITunes doesn't recognize any of my 3 iPods. Tried almost everything...

Hi, yesterday I came home and my little brother came to me saying "iTunes doesen't work" When I checked, it did work but when I plugged my 2GB iPod Nano, iTunes didn't recognize it. I went back to my room and grabbed my other 30GB 5th Gen. iPod with video. Same problem, it didn't recognized it. I checked My Computer and the iPod was there. I tried with my brother's 30GB iPod w/video and same problem. This was with version 7.1 so I updated to 7.2 but the problem persisted. I'll list here the things I've tried.
-Updating.
-Completely removing iTunes and Quicktime.
-Erasing my TEMP directory.
-Running iTunes with no background applications.
Then, I tried resetting the iPod service. I right-clicked on My Computer, Manage, Services, but there was no ipod service listed.
In iTunes, I ran an iPod diagnostic and the ipod service was in green! Everything was in green except iPod connectivity!! Please help me here im running out of ideas!

TS1398 I have just purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi. It detects my wifi network but will not join. I have a Mac, 2 iPhones and an iPad 4 and all work perfectly. The new iPad mini just won't behave. Any ideas?

I have purchased an iPad mini and it will not join my wifi network. Any ideas?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I have multiple devices, an iPhone and an iPad, and would like to have the same Game Center setting on each device. I have game I have invested a lot of time into, and if I have to replace my iPad Id like to make sure the settings transfer.

To piggy back on my question, I would also like my Game Center settings to be the same on my iPad and iPhone so I can access the same game. Right now they are different, although the sign on and password to both are identical. Thanks in advance....

hi

Nothing can be guaranteed 100%, but each of the listed items you provide SHOULD be able to connect to a wireless router or wireless access point if they are equipped with the appropriate wireless adapter.
