I'm probably being really stupid here, but I don't want my itunes library on my PC to sync/match exactly with my ipod touch, as it's only an 8gb one and I haven't got room on it for everything in my itunes library. I want to simply move stuff on and off
I'm probably being really dumb, but I can't work out how to remove music/vids etc from my ipod but retain them in my itunes library on my PC . I haven't got room for everything on my 8gb ipod touch. I just want to put stuff on there when I want to watch/listen to it. If it get's full I want to just take it off but put it back on at a later date. My ipod touch is new - I had an older generation ipod before and didn't have a problem with this. Is it because I have signed up to icloud or something? If so, how can I change it?
You can manually manage or you can sync by playlist/artist/album/genre/checked songs.
Maybe you should read the manual:
iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 5.0 Software)

I've updated my phone and I've made a backup. but now it says I must enter my code to restore all my files and I haven't got this code. If I cancel the process or choose something else, all my stuff will be deleted, and I really don't want that.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!If, for some reason, your backup got encrypted and you don't know the code, you'll have to set up your phone as new device and start all over again without the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
If you can't get pass the lock screen, connect in recovery mode and restore the phone, you'll have the option to reset the lock secreen passcode.
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software. -
I believe what I must do is install a driver but I don't know where the drivers are indexed at in apple. Itunes is up to date, and I am using the USB that came with the Ipod.
Have you tried the driver-related instructions in the following article, Hegel?

How can i downgrade my ipod touch 4g to ios 4.3 because i made a mistake of upgrading to ios 5, and i only have 8gb and it takes up basically all my space ! I need help !
Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
What do you nean by it taking up all yur space? If when connected to the computer is the "other" category very large? If it is then restore the iPod to get it to its normal of about 1/2 GB. Sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required. -
I got an iphone 4 a week ago and i havent hooked it up to itunes yet until today. I plugged it into my computer and itunes doesnt reconize it. My itunes syncs just fine with my ipod touch but it wont sync with my iphone at all. How do i get my iphone 4 to sync to my itunes?
Hey RavenDawn1002,
If you have a Windows computer, you'll want to run through the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you have a Mac, then use this article instead:

I am being really stupid, but can't manage to do this...
I can't manage to change the page layout of my document - to switch betwen landscape and portrait pages. I've tried putting every break in it possible.
I know I am being really stupid, but I'm tearing my hair out (hence posting for the first time ever on a forum!)......any tips?!Every Mac comes with Preview .app in your Applications folder.
You open multiple pdfs in Preview :
+Menu > View > Sidebar > Show Sidebar > click on the thumbnail icon (little black squares) at the bottom of the sidebar+
You can drag the thumbnails of your individual or more pages from one .pdf sidebar to the other or to or from the desktop.
In Pages select an object, textbox, shape or table, by holding down the command key and clicking on the object edge.
You can drag the corner around by again holding the command key down whilst pointing near a corner. The cursor turns into a curved arrow, drag the object around.
Alternatively:
+Inspector > Metrics > Rotate+

When I try to download this I get a message that says I haven't got sufficient space on my startup disk. I have checked my available space on the disc and I have only 3GB free out of 500. I have hardly anything on my mac - how can this be?
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located. -

I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?
Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

- 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.

I updated my iPhone 3G today and after the update it said on iTunes that my sim was not compatible and my iPhone screen went on to slide for emergency/connect to itunes. Ive tried restoring it but it hasnt worked. Please help!
Unless the iPhone was purchased as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
Regards.
