I just sync'd my iPod Nano for the first time. All the audiobooks appear to have been loaded but I cannot hear anything during playback. The volume is turned all the way up. My headphones work when plugged into a different unit. What's next?

I just sync'd my brand new ipod Nano with my laptop PC running Windows 7, and loaded all my audiobooks. They show up on the Nano's screen, but when I select one I hear nothing. The earphones work fine when connected to another unit. What's next?

I'm ok with having to resync everything once she gets home but it concerned me when you said it would, again, wipe everything once I plugged it in here. I don't care about having to reload music, contacts, & apps from here, but I would rather not lose all the pictures that she took while she was gone. If we did decide to go the whole start-over-from-scratch route on her end while she is there, could the loss of pictures be adverted if she created a backup of her phone, copied the backup to a USB drive, & brought the backup file home with her so I could restore it from here? When I plug my phone into another computer, I can open it through My Computer & copy the pictures; could I do that when she gets home before I allow iTunes to open & wipe everything again?
I guess the other option would be to just have her just copy all of the pictures onto a USB drive before she comes home, I'm just curious if it's possible to restore everything if she just brings the backup file home.
Thanks again for taking the time to helping me.

  • How to recover music? iPod only works when plugged into wall outlet

    My iPod is probably 5 years old or so. It's been acting up for a while and I stupidly, did not back it up.
    The battery was replaced this weekend so it works when plugged into the wall. It will not power on or do anything when not plugged into the wall. When plugged into the wall charger, it can turn on and says it is charging. It can be used then but as soon as it is unplugged, it's dead.
    When it is plugged into the computer, it says "Charging. Please wait...". There isn't enough power from my laptop to power the iPod, so my computer doesn't even recognize it. It does not show up in iTunes.
    On the brightside, I have a new iPod classic waiting to be used. However, I would VERY much like to get my 90gb+ off of my old iPod first. Is there a way to do this? 
    I'm at a loss. Some of the files are on there are not anywhere else. I have a few songs by a friend who lost them on their own computer.
    Any help would be very appreciated!

    Bump. Is there no way to solve this?

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

  • My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio.  When I take it out, it goes blank.  Why can I do?

    My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio.  When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank.  The battery shows fully charged.  It appears that the battery is no longer charging.  What should I do?

    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

  • My iPod only works when plugged into a wall socket!

    Anyone know why my iPOD only works when plugged into a wall outlet? I tried it on the Bose docking station and also my MacBook and it won't work!
    Any ideas??

    Sounds like a dead battery.  You can have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party service center to have them do the same for job a little less.

  • Just bought a brand new ipod nano and downloaded an audiobook borrowed from the local library.  The book is there and playing but, I cannot hear anything.  What am I doing wrong?

    just bought a brand new ipod nano and downloaded an audiobook borrowed from the local library.  The book is there and playing but, I cannot hear anything.  What am I doing wrong?

    Does the same file play normally in iTunes?  Do other audiobooks play normally on the iPod?
    How does "borrowing" work?  Does it require use of another app, other than iTunes, to get it on the iPod?

  • Help I just hooked up my iPhone to my laptop for the first time and i accidentally chose to have it read it as my ipod so all my pictures were deleted off of it. I had not backed it up before. Is there anything I can do?

    Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

  • I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes).  I only have ftp access to the site server.  Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

    Great, first post, sorry for the title.  But to repeat it:
    I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes).  I only have ftp access to the site server.  Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

    You can use the Dreamweaver FTP (or a different FTP client) to completely copy the original website to your development computer, then, before making changes, you can copy the whole thing to a directory called something like "website original"
    If you want to run both the old and new sites on the remote server, this is often possible. Add a folder/directory to the server and call it something like "new" and upload the new files there until you are ready to replace the old site
    All of this you can do with FTP

  • HT1386 my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    my iphone does not sync with itunes on my second authorized computer, please help. i changed the first authorized computer in May 2012 and have been using the second authorized computer since then but it cannot sync - please help!!

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions.  I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

    Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions.  I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

    HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue.  I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.

    Hear your microphone or instrument as you play and record (monitoring)
    You can hear, or monitor, input from an instrument or microphone in GarageBand while you play and record. When you turn on monitoring for a track, you hear the musical instrument or microphone connected to the track’s input. Monitoring lets you hear yourself play so that you can hear the part you want to record as well as the rest of the project.
    You can turn on monitoring for a Real Instrument track or Electric Guitartrack from the track’s header, or in the Track Info pane. Electric Guitar tracks always show their monitoring buttons, and you can show monitoring buttons for Real Instrument tracks using a menu command. You can use monitoring with feedback protection to avoid feedback while you play.
    Hide
    To turn on monitoring in the track header:
    Choose Track > “Show Monitoring for Real Instrument Tracks.”Monitor buttons appear in the headers of Real Instrument tracks. On tracks with monitoring turned on, the button lights yellow.
    Click the Monitor button in the header of the track you want to use.
    HideTo turn on monitoring in the Track Info pane:
    Double-click the header of the Real Instrument or Electric Guitar track you want to turn on monitoring for.The Track Info pane opens.
    From the Monitor pop-up menu, choose one of the following:
    Choose Off to turn off monitoring. You can hear your instrument only while you record.
    Choose On to turn on monitoring and protect against feedback.
    Choose On (no feedback protection) to turn on monitoring without feedback protection. If the input level is too high, it may cause feedback (especially if you are using a microphone and listening to your project through your computer speakers).
    For an Electric Guitar track, you can view the Monitor pop-up menu by clicking Edit, and then clicking the back side of the amp. The Monitor pop-up menu appears with the input controls below the stage.
    You should usually turn off monitoring when you are not playing or singing. When monitoring is turned on, your computer can pick up output from your speakers or monitors, causing unwanted feedback. Using headphones rather than speakers to listen to your projects can help eliminate feedback.
    If you select your computer’s built-in microphone as the audio input, in the Audio/MIDI pane of GarageBand preferences, monitoring is turned off for all Electric Guitar tracks to avoid unwanted noise.

    There should be an option (on the left hand side of your iTunes) for your iPod. Then when you click on it you will just need to setup and there will be an option to sync at the bottom right hand corner

  • Camera not working when plugged into certain USB ports

    I just purchased a Creative Live! Cam for use on my dual G5 running 10.5. When I plug the camera into the USB port on the front of the Mac, it works fine with iChat.
    However, when I plug it into the back of the monitor (older style Cinema display), it says it is in use by another application.
    Any idea how to resolve this? The cable isn't terribly long and the machine is several feet away from the monitor, so I'd like to use the ones on the monitor. (Obviously it gives a power-error message when plugged into the keyboard, which is normal).
    Thanks

    Seems like it is a USB 2.0 or not problem

  • Mouse only works when plugged into a specific USB port

    Hello. I'm using a HP optical mouse that connects via USB plugin.
    HP PIN: 505062-001 Rev.A
    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
    It only has full functionality when plugged into a specific USB port on my desktop. I can't get it to work with any other ports or chained with a HUB plugged into the port it likes. All of my other USB devices work fine with those ports and my HUBs. The red light on the bottom lights up but the mouse pointer does not respond to movement and clicking the buttons does nothing either.
    1) I'm confident, that it's not a problem with the desktop hardware
    2) I'm confident, that it's not a problem with the mouse hardware
    When the mouse is fully functional, it's displayed under Devices and Printers, in the Devices category as "USB OPTICAL MOUSE".
    When connected with the other ports or through a HUB, it appears as TWO entries in the Devices category:  "HID-compliant mouse" and - here's the suspicious part - "HID-compliant keyboard"
    I suspect that something's up with the driver for the mouse. Any clues, as to which driver I need? Or, is the cause of the problem something else entirely?

    Hello Tick_Noby,
    Your mouse only works in certain usb ports.
    Has the mouse ever worked in the ports?
    You can go to device manager and uninstall the fake keyboard and the mouse and restart the computer.
    It seems that the driver is not correct for the mouse.
    Also reset BIOS defaults.
    Turn off the computer.
    As you turn it back on tap the F10 key. This will load BIOS setup utility.
    Press F9 to load defaults.
    Press F10 to save and exit.
    When the computer boots back up, check to see if everything is working.
    If it has not been to long since the problem started, you can run a system restore.
    This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
    Here is a link on how to do a restore.
    Let me know how everything goes
    Have a good day.
