I seriously wanna throw my iPod at the wall!

Ok, now I have 2 problems.
1 - Volume slider and 'Double click home button' Pop up slider are both sticky.
2 - Music starts playing automatically when the volume control headphones are plugged in.

Keep looking.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

You'll have to get it serviced by Apple, you'll have to pay for the replacement device:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
You can also search for a 3rd party repair company in the Internet.

My ipod touch 4 won't sync or register on my computer. The cord works, the usb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall to charge it work, but when i plug it to the computer nothing, not even charging. P.S. worked before I updated it.

You do have iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer, right?
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

I need some serious iTunes help or I'm going to throw my iPod in the pool..

Okay...here's my problem. I cannot import. There is no import button at all. There is on my husbands computer but not mine. I have repaired iTunes in the add/remove programs and I just uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I'm trying to put my son's CD's on my computer to load on to his Shuffle.
I did a diagnostic on the Apple help boards and it did say that it did not detect an audio CD but I do have one.
Any advice? I would be so grateful.

I'm having the same problem. Bought my girlfriend an Ipod for Chistmas and can't import cd's into Itunes to load to the Ipod. The cd doesn't show up at all in Itunes nor does it ask if you want to import the songs. It used to work. Don't know what happened. I ran Itunes diagnostics on my cdrom drive and get an error 263. Sent that to tech support but no response. Let me know if anyone has a solution.

Ipod versus itunes - help, how can i avoid throwing my ipod against the wal

hi there
i have recently splashed out and bought an ipod video. i was told it is user friendly - but how wrong was that? tried the website but the help is useless to me, then i sent numerous emails to ipod support without response.
i have squillions of problems with this thing, but my main prob at the moment is that i have more than 12000 songs in itunes and the ipod synchronizes each time i connect but i can't get more than 400 songs onto the ipod and the worst thing is most of those songs are crap.
i am really angry with this machine, can anyone help me?
cheers - udo

When your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod" and sets the update option to 'Sync Music - Selected playlists'. It creates a playlist of randomly chosen songs, if you don't like it's choice you can make a playlist of your own to sync from.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. Drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist from your iTunes library. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Another option is to manage your iPod manually. In this mode you can drag songs or playlists from your iTunes library directly to the iPod when it's connected:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on the desktop and check this link for alternative methods: Safely Disconnect IPod
One last thing, the advertised song capacity of any of the iPods is a calculation based on 4 minute songs encoded in AAC format at a bit rate of 128 kbps. You need to bear that in mind if you want to get the maximum number on your iPod. Longer songs and songs encoded at a higher bitrate or in uncompressed formats take up more space. If for example you imported full size, uncompressed CD files (AIFF format) you would get significantly fewer on. What format are the songs you have imported? Go to iTunes and right click on one of your songs, choose Get Info>Summary and look at "Kind" to see what format you are using: iTunes: About import settings and hard disk space
If you have imported uncompressed files they can be converted in iTunes, have a read of these articles:
How to convert a song to a different format
How To Choose Import Settings

Ipods req the wall charger, old and new

Ok, technical question here.
What is the variable in an ipod requiring a wall charger for the final part of a restore? ipod type or powered usb port. I believe it's the type of ipod (with the powered usb port being a requirement for the ipod to connect to the computer), but read below with further details.
I was under the assumtion that the ipods required a powered usb (1.1 or 2, 2 being the better choice) port, and if it was not powered, the ipod wouldn't connect in the first place. Am I correct with this, or are there like strange multiple versions of powered usb ports?
The thing that leads me to believe that it depends on the ipod is because that is what I've dealt with during my stint doing psychotic ipod fixing. Same laptop/chord/usb port and everything, but the 5Gs/nanos did not require the wall charger during the restore process while the old 4Gs/1G minis did.
If it was the poweredness (I don't know what else to call it!hah) of the usb port that was the variable, the older ipods would not have required it.
These same findings have been experienced on the brand new two day old laptop I was using at work, and my one year old laptop at home.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
There are 4 components to the charging circuit: Power adapter, dc-in card, logic board, and battery. It sounds like your power adapter is working alright. Based on your description, they replaced the dc-in card, which contains the port the rca plug from the power adapter goes into, and they replaced the battery.
Have you reset the Power Management Unit (PMU)? See this Apple article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
If a PMU reset doesn't fix it, take it back, explain that you've replaced the dc-in card and battery and it still doesnt't charge. Sounds like you have Applecare. They should take it, and replace the logic board, as that's the only component left in the charging circuit (again assuming your power adapter is good).

I'm about two seconds away from throwing my ipod out the window.

Alright, someone, please help me.
I've gone over the support pages a million times. I've read other discussions and still nothing is working.
My ipod isn't reading in itunes. Yes I know, try the 5 Rs. Nothing. I've restored the thing three times now and its still not reading. Well, correction, if I let it sit for a few hours and then try again, it'll read, but only to tell me that I need to restore my already empty, blank ipod again because somehow its still corrupted.
I've tried to change the drive letter. Nothing. I've reset different preferences and policies, still, my ipod's as blank as ever.
Help a sister out. Please.

I don't know how long either of you have had your iPod, but if it's less than a year, or if it's still under the Apple Care program, they'll either replace it, or fix it for free.
Seriously! I wouldn't bother with any of this, just take it into an Apple store and have them replace it.
My friend's son bought a Nano on eBay and it was defective after a month. Obviously, he didn't have a receipt from Apple or anything. We went down to the Apple store and they gave him a brand new one. It's worth a shot. Why give yourself a headache over all of this. Sounds like a lemon to me.

HT1212 how can i open my iphone when i have forgoten my four digit number after o7 upgrade itunes tell me to turn of find my ipone before reset but cant open phone to do that help me before i throw this phone at the wall

please please can sombody help i cant understand apple good mind to change items

I have NEVER had a password for my iphone and I bought it outright. It asked me for a passcode and now I have been locked out of my phone. I will have to restore it but this is very annoying. Why ask me for a passcode when I have never had one? And why change my settings straight up after I download ios7?
Very frustrating.

My PC is freezing everytime I wanna sync my iPod 5th Gen

Hallo, everytime i wanna sync my iPod with the iTunes Bibliothek my PC is freezing. I'dont no why and 2 weeks ago it worked without any problems?
please could anybody help me?

ati3duag.dll
that's the second time i've seen that dll referenced here in a blue screen in a week. that file is associated with ATI video card drivers.
try running through the troubleshooting steps i was suggesting to Bahama Boy in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=2957231
but let's also enlist some additional technical help. let's capture a minidump of the crash and send it to someone who can interpret minidumps.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
collect the minidump, and send it to this email address
in the email, include the URL to this thread so that the person who gets the email has some context, but also give as much information about the context of the crashing as you can.

How I "fixed" my iPod after the latest update screwed everything up

I am not sure if this will help anyone but here is what I have been through and done. I also don't know if this "fix" will last. So far it has been 24 hours and my iPod still works. To be honest I was surprised anything worked since this whole fiasco started. Good Luck!
(Please know I am not telling you to do this, just letting you know what I did and what happened. I have no idea if the slap to the hand actually did any good or if it is all just coincidence.)
After installing the latest iPod updater my iTunes would not recognize my iPod and when connected to the pc the iPod would simple flash do not disconnect. This would not stop no matter what I did. Once I removed the iPod from the pc sometimes it would go to the menu and have music on it and other times it would not have music on it. On some occasions I would get the folder with the exclamation point. I did try to reformat the drive through the pc and/or restore it through the updater but since it kept flashing do not disconnect the updater could not "mount" the iPod and the pc was never able to access the drive. At one point I was able to access the drive and reformat it but it said it could not finish the formatting. After three days of trying to do all of these steps over and over I finally put in a ticket to have it repaired by Apple.
I did reinstall iTunes to its latest update but kept the updater at the version that originally came with the iPod on the Cd.
Which leads me to the final step. I had heard that other folks had slapped the iPod against their hands and suddenly they would work again. So I figured, at this point, what do I have to lose? (Please know I am not telling you to do this, just letting you know what I did and what happened. I have no idea if the slap to the hand actually did any good or if it is all just coincidence.) I plugged the iPod in and watched it flash its message to do not disconnect, I reset it and then forced it to say do not disconnect, then quickly disconnected it. Once removed I slapped the side of the iPod against the palm of my hand. The drive did spin up and the picture which tells you to plug the iPod into the wall appeared, which I did. It showed the apple logo, a status bar ran and then went to the menu and reset itself.
I connected the iPod to the pc with the current iTunes program, old iPod updater version, with my playlists and library intact and it started to update the iPod with my library and playlists. Once finished I manually disconnected the iPod and safely removed the hardware.
So far it works fine. I used it at home and in my car. I have not tried to use the new updater again. Honestly I fear what would happen.

Hi Zmajev,
If you are having syncing issues after an update to iTunes 11.2.2.5, you may want to try updating to the most recent version (iTunes 11.3, which was just released yesterday) and see if the issues still persist. You may find the following article helpful:

My ipad won't charge with the wall charger

I have been able to charge my ipad and ipod using the wall charger. Now when I plug my ipad in, it won't charge. It also doesn't charge when plugged into the computer.

iPad Charging
"The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

My iPod touch is not turning on or nothing. i have done all the things i could think of, other then throwing it at the wall. Please help!!!!!

I cant get my iPod touch to turn on or do anything. Can you please help i have done all i can think of and i'm about to throw it at the wall.

Without knowing what you actually tried:
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 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.

Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
To transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support CommunitiesA lot of thos are paid, especiall for more than a limited number of items. It is harder to find one that does synced photos.

I seriously wanna throw my iPod at the wall!
