I need help with my new iPod!!!

Ok, so i have a 20 GB 4th generation iPod. I just ordered the 30GB 5th generation iPod. I want to get rid of the 20 GB iPod as well. Do i need to unregister the 20 GB iPod and uninstall its software on my computer?? I dont know? How do I set up the new iPod's software, over the other software?? please hep

If you want to get rid of the iPod, simply Restore it.
Don't uninstall anything.
If you have iTunes 7, simply plug in the new iPod. No need to install anything. If you do not have iTUnes 7, you will need to update here -> http://www.apple.com/ipod/start/

Hello Andrew,
Was the reply I gave you in the other post you made of no help?
I explained that Windows ME is not compatible, but you can get it work with a little messing around, and once again, here's a link on how to do it.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME.
As I said previously though, you won't be able to use iTunes.
See my other answer to you here.

Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (iTunes 7.0.2.16). To find the version of iTunes you have open iTunes, click Help, then About iTunes. If this does not work then follow the following instructions:
For iTunes Technical support please call 1-800-APL-CARE
or
Another problem might be that your service pack of Windows 2000 is not the latest version (Windows 2000 Service Pack 4).
I would recogmend getting Windows XP, many advantages over Windows 2000. Especially security and looks wise.

Need help with using new ipod as hard drive. please!

Hi. Has anyone had any problems using the ipod as a hard drive between two systems? I have an old 4th generation ipod which I used on my PC. That ipod worked great between macs and pcs as a hard drive. But recently it is completely screwed up. Anyway, I got a new Mac book pro and a 5th generation 60gb ipod.
Now, I'm trying to get some stuff off my pc and transfer it into my mac. In my pc it comes up in "my computer" but keeps asking me to format the hard drive whenever I do the drag and drop of files into it. I've already formatted it for my mac, but haven't put anything on it yet. So I guess I could just do that for the transfer and reformat it for the mac and then put my music on it.
I just want to know, it worked so well between mac and pc as a hard drive when originally formatted for my pc. will it not work the other way around? Will I have to keep reformatting it for the pc every time and then lose any information and all my music if I want to use it in that way? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I would really appreciate any help at all that anyone could give me. Who really needs a 60gb anyway, if not to be able to transfer files back and forth between home and work, right?
Dell Dimension 4400/MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Windows XP on the PC

Thank you for your reply. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me. But I have one more question.
See, I looked both of those software applications up, and it seems those are to be installed on the windows operating system. My plan is to eventually stop using my PC and give it away to goodwill, however, for work purposes- which is freelance- I'd need to use the ipod as a nice small portable hard drive- I'm a photographer, and work with big files, so I need the larger space that a flash drive can't give me.
So, is there any type of mac formatting on the ipod that can also be read by the pc? Or is there a 3rd party software that can be installed on the ipod that will enable it to be read on the pc and mac while retaining its mac formatting?
If not I guess I'll just have to go back to the old and extremely inconvenient way of doing things. I really wish mac would have mentioned these things before in all their descriptions.

Help with my new ipod touch

hello
i seem to be having an issue with my new ipod touch i just replaced my ipod 3rd gen nano with the nano all the songs from an album played together then moved on to the next i cannot get the touch to do the same it lists all the songs in a perticular album on cover flow but when i return it to an upright position a
it lists all my songs in alphabetical order and not grouped together as an album should be i have tried on itunes using the get info and listing them all as a compalation but which works as it groups them all together in cover flow but wont work when i press album in the vertical mode

Whilst upright, switch from 'playlist' mode (bottom of the screen) to artist, touch the artist name in the list, below the 'All Songs' option all your albums by any particular artist/group should be listed so long as your MP3s are tagged properly.

Help with Syncing new iPod Nano 7th Gen

I just bought a new IPod Nano 7th Generation. I set it up on iTunes and was able to sync music to it but was unable to sync photos from iPhoto or Photos (the new beta photo app with Yosemite). When I chose Sync All Photos the only choice was the Pictures folder or other folder, thus only one picture synced. I suspect this has to do with the beta Photos app but not sure. Also my new iPod does not show up in the iTunes list of approved devices. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

You have to shake the Nano again to get it to Shuffle to another song. If you want to shuffle the songs in your playlist, start a song from that playlist and then enable the Shuffle option from the additonal controls that you bring up on the Now Playing screen.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Make sure these are installed...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Try reinstalling those if they are already installed (using the above links to make sure you get the most up to date software).
If iTunes still will not open, try these...
iTunes Does Not Open Or Unexpectedly Quits
iTunes Does Not Open After Upgrading
iTunes Does Not Open If Firewall Software Is Not Up To Date
Finally, the iPod not being recognized is likely related to iTunes not opening.

I need help with my new LG G2. I dial *611 but it will not recognize my phone number

I am having trouble setting up my new LG G2. When I dial *611, it will not recognize my number, and the 800 number refers me back to the *611 number. There is no live chat available on the website, so I am lost. Is this any way to run customer support?

It seems I am about the only G2 customer support you'll fund unfortunately. Chat is available on the support site after logging in to My Verizon on the web, but you have to click on Contact Us at the top right of the page then choose Live Chat and then Help with My device and then look to the right and wait for the red dot to turn green. *611 will take you to a screen where you can launch My Verizon or Click to Call which dials the customer support number. Unfortunately chat is about as useless as waiting for a rep to respond in the forums. Calling is the only way to get started and work your way up the chain. Going to a store is a hassle. What exactly is the problem you're having? You can't activate the phone or set up your Google accounts or what?

I need help finding a new iPod case.

I would like to get a new iPod touch 4G case. No gel ones. And no OtterBoxes. I already have reviewed them. I'm pondering the SwitchEasy. Should I get one?

I have the Griffin hard case....it's a plastic case that slides on in 2 pieces to cover the back. I then have the Zagg screen protector on the front.
http://store.griffintechnology.com/ipod/ipod-touch/outfit-gloss
(Probably overkill but I also found a small digital camera case taht zips up that I use for it....largely cause I toss my Touch into my purse so wanted it very scratch and impact resistant.)
They also have some portfolio type of cases that, if I wasn't happy with my present set up, I'd look into.

Hard Drive Crash - need help with choosing new drive and installation

My hard drive seems to have crashed. My computer froze, and when I tried to reboot, it got stuck at the startup screen. I started from the system CD, ran the disk repair utility, and it said it could not repair the disk. I ran Tech Tool Pro and it could not repair the disk. I tried to start up in Target disk mode while connected to my older G4 iMac (that I'm using now as my backup), and the disk would not mount. So I need some expert advice - I am assuming the hard drive is toast. I wish I could at least mount it in target disk mode to transfer files, but I haven't been able to do that. I was going to take it in for repair (or possibly buy a new computer), but after reading some of the posts here, I am thinking I could just replace the internal hard drive with a 3.5" SATA drive.
What I need to know is am I correct about this? And is this the right kind of drive for my iMac? Are there any specifications I need to be aware of when ordering a new drive? I downloaded the manual explaining how to replace the drive and it looks doable. I would appreciate any guidance as to choosing the new drive (specific brand names/models would be great), installing the drive, and tips for formatting, etc. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to Discussions - any 3 1/2" SATA drive will be fine, go to [macsales.com] or [smalldog.com] or [newegg.com] and choose whichever drive fits your wallet. Most of them are reliable, I have heard of problems with Seagate and Hitachi, but there are always some failures with any brand. Make sure to get a good warranty.Instructions will come with the drive, but you can download them from [Apple|http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/imac> as well.

Need help with Itunes and IPod Shuffle

I have the latest updates for both Itunes and the IPod Shuffle. I have Itunes on two different PCs, one for the wife and one for myself. I got a new Nano and gave my wife the Shuffle I had and she gave her shuffle to a friend. Everything has worked just fine in the past. When she plugged in my shuffle it asked if she wanted to sync to this PCs library and she said yes. Everything went fine except that no files will copy to the shuffle. It seems to take a VERY long time to sync as well. I tried dragging a song or a playlist but it just sits in sync mode for a long time and then when it's done there is no music on the shuffle. I don't understand the problem. When I attach the shuffle to my PC it asks if I want to sync to the library and everything works, files transfer, no problem. Putting back on her PC and going through the resync business again results in the same situation. Help!

Hello! no, you haven't stumped the pros. This is a user board. No pros here to stump, just volunteers.
Shuffles are only designed to sync with one PC. Connect it to your PC and restore it to factory settings. Eject it. When your wife connects it to her PC, it should get recognized.
