I recently purchase an Ipod shuffle. following the directions \, I plugged the small cord into the ipod and into the usb plug on my MAC. The instructions said that the Itunes screen would appear...but nothing happened. Am I missing something?

When you installed iTunes on your work computer, then connected your iPad to that computer, it wiped what was on the iPad, then put the iTunes library (nothing) from the work computer onto the iPad. You can try copying the iTunes folder from your home computer over to your work computer, but since the apps were bought with a different account, they may not load or update properly.

Hi Maryan,
Open System Preferences > Displays > select the window for you external monitor > click on the Arrangement tab and check the box next to Mirror Displays. It may be slightly different in Lion, but the idea is the same.

Put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then restore it:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

Cannot get Shuffle to be recognized by pc. Have went through asst. 5 times. Don't know what I am doing wrong.

Cannot get Shuffle to be recognized by pc. Have went through asst. 5 times, don't know what to do now!!

If this is a new shuffle, make sure the plug on the USB cable is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3572
If it is properly connected, does the shuffle's light come ON at all, when you connect it to USB? If it does, what does it do immediately after connection?

My ipod touch 2 no longer recognizes or syncs new playlists from my computer. But it does takes the playlists from the ipod and syncs to the computer. This is a reverse process - what am I doing wrong? It always synced the correct way in the past.

Why doesn't my ipod touch 2 recognize or sync new playlists from my computer? It did in the past, but now the syncing process goes in reverse; the
playlists on the ipod touch 2 sync to my computer!

Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

... Does anyone know if it would be backed up somewhere else,
If you do not know if you backed up your computer, how could someone else know?

I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer."

Wipe it clean and restore it. You should then be able to rename the iPod and set up an account with iTunes. I hope this helps!

TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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.

Hello, i recently bought an iPod 5th Generation and it came with a passcode which i did not know of, it is now disabled and i am wondering how to unlock the iPod

Hello, i recently bought an ipod touch 5th generation and it came with a passcode which i did not know, it is now disabled and i am wondering on how to unlock it using itunes on the computer

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
However, you will likely run again the Activation Lock
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
You either have to get the Apple ID and password of the previous owner and enter it or have them remove the iPod from their account.

I recently bought an iPod Touch from the US, when I was living there. I am now in India, and my iPod seems to be frozen -- the slider won't slide. So far, I've updated my iTunes and reset and restored the Touch. Problem: no Genius bar in India. Theories?

I bought an ipod shuffle, I found some problems with battery...

I bought an ipod shuffle a week ago (3 August 2010) in Russia, in Kazan, in "MediaMarkt". In the first day I couldn't charge him, he is charged only to 50%. I charged him nearly 4 hours. But now I can't charge my iPod shuffle 3, i charge him for 5-7 hours, but he shines a red indiacator. I tried to make a recovery, it isn't helped. Please help me!!!

iPods (except for iPod touch) are not linked to any iTunes "account." They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, and that is used to buy and download content from the iTunes Store. It is not required to use an iPod.
The 1st (and 2nd) gen shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library at a time. When you connect it, iTunes should prompt you to start using it with your iTunes library, and warn that the shuffle's existing content will be erased. Have iTunes erase the shuffle, and it will be associated with your iTunes library going forward. You can then add content to your shuffle.
The need for the previous owner's Apple ID and password should only come up if you are trying to transfer existing content from the shuffle to your iTunes library, AND the previous owner had content purchased from the iTunes Store. Just cancel out of that step, if iTunes asks.

I recently bought on iPod shuffle, I plugged it in as the directions indicated but the iTunes screen did not appear to sync...what am I doing wrong?
