I just bought an ipod and need help! Please.

When ever I have my ipod plugged in, then open up itunes, it automaticly starts to sync my iPod. I set it so that iTunes wouldn't open up when I put in my iPod, but I don't want it to automaticaly sync my iPod when I open up iTunes every time my iPod is plugged in. Thx.

In your iPod preferences in iTunes, you will also need to check "manually manage", by doing this you will have to drag/drop new content from iTunes onto the iPod in the iTunes source pane. Also, your playcounts will not update in iTunes when you are set to manually manage.

    i just bought my ipod and hooked it up to my laptop, and i clicked restore files, but my ipod wont turn on or off

    Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Is the iPod on or off?
    Did it work before you tried a restore?

  • My MBP didn't recognise my password, started it in safe mode, I can see my files, but I don't know what to do next, as the image of reset password isn't selectable. I just moved from PC. Need help please...

    Safe mode is not what you want in this case. Reboot to recovery mode - hold down cmd-R as the Mac reboots. Go past the language-selection screen, click the Utilities menu, then Terminal. Type:
    resetpassword
    Followed by the return key, and follow the prompts. Reboot normally when done.

  • Just bought new Ipod - and music won't sync.  what's wrong?

    I just bought the ipod nano - nothing is synching at all.  Not sure what to do.

    when i click it or try to move it to my ipod it says the file could not be located...would i like to locate it? so what's that all about?
    Exactly what is says. Basically each song has an attribute/piece of metadata, that holds the track's location on your computer. If it can't find it there, it puts a small explanation point next to it in iTunes.
    This script may be able to help. You are going to need to search for these tracks and either place them in the proper location already specified in iTunes or re-import them and delete the missing entry.

  • Just bought second iPod AND a New PC -- Questions!

    I have a regular 30gig iPod that I'm replacing with a new 30gig video iPod. I also just bought a new computer. So I need to know the easiest way to move my current iTunes library to the new iPod AND the new PC. Thanks in advance.

    Well if you have access to the old PC still, you can move the files over with the new ipod here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173

  • Just bought new time capsule- need help setting up WiFi network with another router

    Here ismy situation.
    I had a wireless network setup up at home using a Belkin wifi router.
    I have 2 macBooks (1 pro, 1 air) and 2 iphones that connect wirelessly and a desktop PC that is hard wired to the ethernet port.  In addition, I have a Verizon wireless network extender plugged in by ethernet.  All of the hard-wired gear is in our 3rd floor attic office (and the wireless signal was strong throughout the house).
    The Belkin wifi router was plugged into a wall ethernet jack that is in turn wired into a Linksys router in the basement (along with multiple other ethernet ports througout the house) and is hardwired to the Cable modem next to it.  All of the hard-wired ethernet stuff (including the router in the basement) was there when we bought the house, and I have no clue in the tangle of wires how to sort them out (but don't really think I need to)
    I just purchased a TimeCapsule to do wireless backups of my 2 macbooks, and tried to set it up alongside the existing wireless modem.
    Needless to say, this did not work well. I called  AppleCare, and was told that the TimeCapsule needs to be the "1st" wireless adapter, so I went into the basement, and connected the time capsule directly to the cable modem, and then out to the basement router.  The Belkin router still needs to be in the attic to supply the PC and the Verizon adapter (so it is near a window for GPS signal). 
    If I try to name the WiFi network the same SSID on both the TC and the belkin router (to have dual signal strenth coverage) the whole thing gets messed up and the TC cannot be "found" by the aiprort Utility software.
    What I have done now is that I have 2 side-by-side wireless networks with 2 unique names (actually 3, because I enabled the 5Ghz signal on the TC), but our wireless devices do not "switch" automatically from one SSID  to another stronger signal SSID as we move through the house
    Here's the question: How do I name them the same so that the devices will switch effortlessly to the stongest signal?  I understand it involves switching the "channels" but don't know how to do it right now.  Currently, everything works, so I don't want to mess it up tinkering.  Another caveat- there are several other wireless networks from neighbors houses that I can "see".  I jsut downloaded a program called iStumbler that shows the channels, but not sure what to do with that info.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    OK.. sounds like a mess.. or at least messy and the previous people should have left a log book with all the IP address info in it.. you have far too many routers.. but from here it is impossible to tell how they are configured. Most are probably just setup as AP.
    Naming rule for wireless.. Same SSID same security different channel.
    SSID ie wireless name to work on the PC side should have no spaces and no special characters. TC name should also follow that rule. So the devices need to all set with fixed channels.
    Don't worry too much about iStumbler and what is outside your house.. there isn't enough channels at 2.4ghz anyway. And you are going to need to use them all. There are only three non-overlapping channels. 1, 6, 11 so set each device to one of those channels. The TC should be as close as you can to where you normally use the MacBooks.. and turn on the 5ghz. You will have to leave it to automatic name so the Macbook can also roam across from 2.4 to 5ghz. But if you care to use a different name and force it onto 5ghz the speed is much better as long as you are in the same room.
    Roaming is great in theory.. often in practice it just doesn't work.. you need to step in and turn off wireless and then turn it back on.. you can quickly see which router it is connecting to by hold down the option key when you click the airport fan in the top menu area.. and look at bssid.. you will have to figure out which number MAC address relates to which router.
    Also do not be surprised if Lion gives you issues. It seems to often drop out and lose connection to the TC as a backup device even if internet is still working.

  • Just Bought 60GB Ipod and how to fix this problem?

    Hi Guys,
    I just bought a 60GB Ipod and so far iam pretty pleased with my purchase. I had one question though.
    Before transferring any songs to the Ipod it is showing only 16.68GB as free space out of a total of 60GB? i have now transferred even a single song? Any ideas how to fix this problem pl?
    thanks

    That certainly shouldn't be happening. Try restoring it using the iPod Software Updater in Programs\iPod\Updater

  • Just bought imac5.1 and needing os. which is the best for this model? only 2gb of ram

    I'd suggest purchasing a retail Snow leopard disk at the Apple store; it is a very stable system and will run well on 2 GB RAM.

    I'm confused. What does losing your iPod have to do with SoundTrack Pro? But just in case this actually IS the right forum to post this in, I lost a set of keys about three years ago, and yes, I've looked all over the house.

  • Just bought new Time Capsule, need help setting up...

    Okay so I already have my wireless network set up in my house with two airport expresses, I have the airplay and wireless printer set up as well. 
    Just bought a time capsule today and want to know the best way to set it up.  Is it best to use the TC as the "main" wireless router, connected to my cable modem?  Is it harder to set it up this way, am I going to have to hard connect the printer to set it up with the Time capsule? 
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Personally, I would always use the AirPort device that provides the fastest wireless performance to create my main wireless network.
    If you bought a Time Capsule 4th Generation, http://support.apple.com/kb/SP627 chances are high that it is the fastest device you own.
    I would set it as "Create a wireless network" and set the two AirPort Expresses as "Join a wireless network" or "Extend a wireless network".
    Enjoy your new device !

  • Just bought a macbook pro, need help.

    Hi everyone, I just bought a macbook pro 15" intel core 2 duo, 2.16GHz and the person I bought it from did not erase anything. I myself have a macbook but I bought this for my girlfriend as a gift. I am having a problem changing the name of the user. I have already changed the username and the password but in the finder, where it usually says "user" it says Elle (previous owner). So I was just wondering how I can change this, I have read other people's posts and a lot have to resort to erasing everything and reinstalling the software, but I don't have any of the software and neither does the person I bought it from. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    I would never run a used Mac inherited or purchased from someone else without wiping and re-installing Mac OS X. You can't really know how well it was maintained or what could possibly be on the hard drive - in terms of system security configurations, legalities, as well as just things that could have been misconfigured and/or create compatibility issues, etc.
    Much cleaner and neater to just wipe and re-install.
