I have just received my new 160GB ipod... - some questions! Please help.

Hi,
I have just received my new 160GB ipod and have a few questions.
1. I have been using a 3rd generation ipod for the past few years. I have an ipod dock that I got with that, can I use that with a firewire charger to charge the ipod?
2. I do not want a big bulky case for the ipod. I have read that the front of the classic does not scratch very easily as the screen is glass. Can anyone confirm if this is true??
I was going to buy some kind of a shield until i read this... do I need one?
- What about the back of the ipod? How could I go about protecting this? Does anyone know if the Belkin protective overlays for ipod video fit? (Shown here - http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=257250).
I have ordered some ipod socks off amazon (found some very cheap if anyone is interested - shown here http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0007TXTB6/). As I don't want a bulky case, will these protect my ipod enough?
Sorry for all the questions, just that I have got my iPod but don't really want to use it until i've got some scratch protection on it.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Jake, you can charge with a firewire cable but you won't be able to sync or transfer.
The Classic has a polycarbonate screen. Only the iPhone (Touch?) has a glass one.

  • HT201269 I have just received a new iPhone 4s and have connected to iTunes and done a restore but none of my purchased apps have come across. After the restore I click on done but the only option is to select my iPhone which takes me back to restore it ag

    I have just received a new iPhone 4s and have restored it from the last back up I did before I got the new phone, however, after I do the restore the only option I get is to click on "Done" at the top of the page but then no data or information from my phone shows up and when I click on the "iPhone" button on the top right hand side of the page it takes me back to the previous page and gives me the option to set up a new phone or restore again.  I have just restored my husbands iPhone 5 and had no issues at all.  They were both backed up on the same day last week.

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

    i have just recieved a new phone how much does it cost to browse the internet on pay as you go on the old orange monkey tariff?

    You actually have to go through extra steps of setting up your phone as new, updating and then erasing and restoring from that back up.

  • I need to update my Apple ID to reflect my new e-mail address, but seem to have created a whole new Apple ID instead. Please help!

    Hi- not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm hoping to merge my two Apple ID's, or at least get rid of the new one that isn't linked to either of my devices. I seem to have my old Apple ID, that is linked to my Iphone 4 and Mac Book Pro, Itunes etc. And my NEW Apple ID, with the correct e-mail address, that isn't linked to anything. I have tried to change my Apple ID by managing my account, but it won't let me change the e-mail address as the correct address is already being used. Please help, anyone!
    Thank you,
    Julie.

    Hi Julie, I have the same issue (except to complicate matters even further the .me address I'd like to keep is an alias) and have spent over an hour on the 'Express Support' chat tonight; where I've been told that to date Apple will not merge two accounts and if you choose to delete one account, that .me address/ID will never be available again ... I did ask if this was something Apple were looking at changing, but was told:
    "Once an @me.com email address is created once it is used forever. To create an account you would have to use an email address that would have never been used before. I wish there was a way for us to do that, however there is not. The only way to free up an @me.com email address would be if we recycled accounts and we currently are not doing that."
    Crystal, the support technician, then went on to state:
    "When you remove an alias from an account that permanently deletes it and makes it unable to be used again on that account it was deleted from or on another account."
    followed (after my attempts at suggesting various work-arounds) by:
    "Merging of Apple IDs is something that we are unable to do. There are a series of Apple Discussion Boards stating this as other customers discuss not be able to merge their IDs also. If you click on Frequently asked questions at this link, it also states that we cannot merge IDs: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895"
    Bless Crystal, she really did try to help, but this looks like an option we'll just have to wait for! Hope this makes sense ...

  • Multiple iPod User Question, PLEASE HELP!

    I already own a 30GB iPod Video which is updated to 1.1 on my Mac. I purchased a 30GB iPod Video for my wife for Valentine's Day. It will need to be formatted. What do I have to do to get her new iPod updated to 1.1. Also, do I need to update it to 1.0 first before updating to 1.1, how does this work??? If it updates to 1.1 from the start am I losing precious update info from 1.0 or will that be on the 1.1 update as well? Please help!

    All 5th Gen iPods come with at least the 1.0 firmware. There is nothing earlier, you you won't br "missing out" on anything.
    To update the new iPod from 1.0 to 1.1, just run the latest iPod Updater utility on your Mac. It should be in your Applications > Utilities folder.

  • Ipod Battery Question Please Help

    Ok so i just got a 30gig video ipod. I started to charge it in my sister's laptop then noticed in the book that it said do not charge in a keyboard usb slot, so i freaked..pulled it out and charged it on my own computer, and it said it was fully charged after about 40 min. I know its supposed to take like 4 hours. Now my ipod runs out of battery life pretty quick (just listening to music..not videos) and i think its cause my first charge wasnt to the full extent. anyone have some advice as i am worried i have really screwed up.

  • New K8N diamond plus questions please help.

    Hi all well i am new to this msi site and am thinking of buying the new MSI K8N Diamond plus motherboard, the problem i have is that i have been a fan of ASUS and have had there last 3 SLI motherboards of which i have not been happy with.
    Well i am totaly into overclocking and have an Opteron 165, balistix ram, 600w Enermax PSU, 2x Gainward 6800gt's,
    what i am looking for is a motherboard that does what i says it will do, yes the asus a8n32 was a great motherboard but has a limitation on the voltage if useing the new E4-E6 stepping cores of which would only give a max voltage of 1.58v of which the asus spec said 1.76v.
    What i am asking you chaps is is this a great motherboard, can you play with all the coms settings without any limitation, or do you think that the DFI motherboard is better.
    If you can let me have some info on this motherboard that would be great, as i can not seam to get any reply from MSI about some information.
    what i am looking for is what is the max CPU voltage and is there any limitation on it for some chips.
    what is the max voltage for the ram
    what is the max voltage for the chipset.
    any help on this would be great.

    Quote from: Stick on 23-February-06, 17:46:08
    there is no mobo that alows 4V for the memory. i think the DFI goes up to 3.4V and you can use a DDR Booster to get to 3.8V. the only mobo that is capable to pass 3.3V is the DFI since you can have the choice to select from which rail the memory will be powered (the 3.3V or the 5V). you don't have that option in any other mobo.
    Hi thanks for the mail but i have just copied this from msi about this motherboard, see below.
    1.Adjust CPU FSB Frequency:
    You can adjust the desired "CPU FSB Frequency" by using "+,-" key. The default value of AMD Athlon™64 is 200MHz. The maximum value is 450MHz.
    2.AMD Overclocking Configuration (CPU Ratio):
    If the CPU is Athlon™64 FX series, the ratio range is from 4 to 25.
    If the CPU is Athlon™64 series, the ratio should be set according to its model number. For example, the ratio range of 3000+ is from 4 to 9, and the 3200+ is from 4 to 10.
    3.Adjust Extra CPU Voltage:
    This is for adjusting CPU voltage while overclocking. Following the CPU default value, the maximum is 1.8V. The interval is 0.05V.
    4.Adjust DDR Memory frequency:
    The Memclock is the major part which has four different frequencies to match many kinds overclocking memory modules. The memory frequency settings includes DRAM/FSB=1/2, 2/3, 5/6, 1/1.
    5.DDR Memory Voltage:
    This is for adjusting memory voltage while overclocking. K8N Diamond Plus has a special design.We use jump to distinguish two level arrangement of voltage. In this way it can get maximum 4.1V for overclocking modules. As you can see the below pictures, the left one is the standard mode when jump hat is located at the top postion. The default value is 2.5V, and the maximum is 3.2V. The interval is 0.05V. As the right one, it is overclocking mode when jump hat is located at the under postion. The default value is 3.2V, and the maximum is 4.1V. The interval is 0.05V.
    What i am asking is there any limitation on the cpu voltage like the asus a8n32 as this had a max voltage of 1.58v due to it having a limit put on it by recomendation of amd.

  • Have tried to reset password but have not received reset email after 2 days. Please help!

    Hi there fellow Apple-ites.
    Hoping you can help with this.
    After using my current Apple ID (new email address) for about a year for app store and iTunes, find my friends, iPhone (etc) and being able to log into iCloud, my new (this year) MBP has somehow reverted to my old ID (old email address, still same account). I just upgraded to Lion and now iCal tells me it can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with Apple ID, which is my old email address.
    I want to be able to log in under my old Apple ID to change it over to my current Apple ID, or somehow unlink from my old Apple ID.
    I can't remember the password because it's been ages since I've used it. I have tried to reset but I haven't received the reset emails in the last 2 days. I have checked spam and trash in all email addresses in case it is a different address to the one I thought. I have also checked that I don't have any filters that could delete the email.
    I tried the secret questions but I can't get past the birthdate page - says my info is incorrect! I have followed the links from the general support area and checked iCloud system status and everything is normal. I have noticed a lot of people have this problem but that it appears unresolved or they haven't written back on how it has been resolved.
    This problem seems too common to warrant a phone call or visit to an Apple store (there is no Apple store in my town either). Anyone have any ideas? I promise I'll respond when/if it resolves! By the way, I'm in Australia.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for that advice @randers4.
    I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
    So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
    Problem solved!

  • I keep sending a request to change my security answers but i have not received an email since yesterday can someone please help?

    No one here can do anything about this.
    Yesterday was Saturday - this is the weekend, so support staff is probably not at 100% over the weekend. You will probably be contacted tomorrow.

  • HT204088 sir i have forgot answer to one of my security question please help me

    please help

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).
    Or you could see if the second half of Kappy's reply in this thread helps : https://discussions.apple.com/message/20357006#20357006
