Iphone (original) and ipod touch no longer recognized after 2.0
I have tried it all... reinstalled system, ran utilities reinstalled itunes...nuttin.
Does anybody have a solution?
Problem is any other computer besides my own wants to sync. Already bricked one phone. Apple replaced with a new one still same problem. I hook up and it stalls itunes. If I disconnect phone briefly the summary screen appears and if I am lucky it doesn't wipe out the phone.
Please help!
When I plug in my ipod, a message pops up that says:
"This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod (my ipod name). Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
>If you do not authorize this computer, 191 songs will be removed from the iPod"
I click "authorize"
Enter my apple ID (note that for some reason it keeps bringing up an apple id from 2006, even though the computer and ipod are from 2011 and 2010.)
Then it says "this computer is already authorized"
And every time I plug it in, the same thing happens.
Sorry I wasn't clear before.

I need to use another laptop to sync my music, I've already synced my iPhone 4S and iPod Touch 4G with my laptop and had to delete EVERYTHING to do so! I refuse to do this again, I was NEVER able to restore my phone back to it's original state since then.
How can I sync up my idevices to ANY computer w/ iTunes without having to completely bomb my iphone and ipod? And if I can't do that, how can I back up all my music and apps? I've already tried "back up device" and that did absolutely NOTHING to help my predicament.
Long story short, I had my devices synced to my desktop, my desktop broke, so I bought a laptop, synced my devices to my laptop after erasing all my data, and my laptop was destroyed during hurricane sandy, so now I have to use my parents/friends computers to sync new music and videos. BUT CAN'T BECAUSE MY DEVICES WERE ALREADY SYNCED TO MY LAPTOP AND DESKTOP!
If I can get ANY help, I would greatly appreciate it.Follow the steps given here...

Some of my apps on both my iPad and iPod Touch no longer have sound. Others still do. I checked general settings. Any other ideas of how to fix this?
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I recently purchased the newest nano. I have 3 other nano's and iPad iPhone, oh and iPod touch. When I plug in nano to my mac I get the message "iPod cannot update because it contains files that are used by another application. How can manage this?

It means that nano was used on a third-party software or synced from different computer to sync music. Does that nano show in iTunes? If yes, then restore completely. If not, then you may need to head to Apple Store and see what they can do. -
IPhone 5s and iPod touch 5 quit automatically backing up
My iPhone 5s and iPod touch 5 have stopped automatically backing when I plug them in to charge while they are on wifi. My iPad 3 is still backing up correctly. I'm not sure, but this problem could have started with the update to iOS 8.3.
I tried logging out of iCloud on the iPhone and logging back in, but that didn't help. I have searched here and other places on the web, but haven't found a solution.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.A number of conditions need to be in place for this to happen. Besides being plugged in and on wi-fi, your screen needs to be locked, so be sure this is taking place. If your iPad is continuing to back up, that indicates that you have enough free space in your iCloud account, so that's probably not the issue. I would check to make sure that your screen is locking after a set time.

Encoding home videos for IPhone, AppleTV and IPod Touch
Hi Folks,
I'm on latest version of Compressor and FCP.
Objective: to encode home video transfers to a format that is suitable for AppleTV, IPhone and Ipod Touch - in an efficient manner (this is key)
99% of the videos would be VHS and camcorder tapes in SD format.
I mentioned efficient manner b/c I tried running and Iphone encode through the presets in Compressor for a 2 hour VHS transfer - nothing fancy, just 12 chapters. I'm on my 2009 quad mac pro with 8 GBs RAM.
The estimator through the 'share' feature said it was going to take over 3 hours before I quit. The other reason I quit is b/c it won't be compatible with AppleTV.
I created DVDs for my client so I tried handbrake using the video_Ts folder and it created an IPhone/IPod Touch file no problem - only 40 minutes. Not bad. I tried the Universal preset and QT gives me an error that the finalized file isn't compatible.
I guess my question is: does it matter quality wise, if I run through Handbrake vs compressor? For this particular client, there are 12 hours worth of videos to compress.
I know about setting up a cluster on my mac pro, but everytime I try more than 1 file in a batch, the subsequent files fail. I can't even set a cluster up with my 2006 mac pro either - yes, I've had discussions with FCP support staff and have tickets. It's a bug
So, any thoughts? 3 hours (at a minimum) seems awfully long to compress.
Of course, I would be charging my client for these videos, but at that length of time, I'm not sure what a feasible cost would be for both sides.
Cheers,
keeblerIf you are send out self contained movies to be processed in Compressor with Standard Presets (no adjustment to frame controls) you should be getting decent speed. If you want I can try encoding a two hour DV clip. How far did the encoding get before you stopped it? The estimates are not necessarily accurate at the beginning.
Also if you can get the Clusters working (disregarding the size of the batches for a moment) should help with speed. I run into limits of around 20 per batch so make multiple batches. Not the most optimal way, but could be worth it to get them all going. Set them up for overnight and it should be done in the AM.
Creating off the Video_TS folder is compressing compressed material, so it could (should) reduce quality when compared to encoding original source material, though based on the quality of the source it may be more academic...
I would try to get the Compressor end working myself. (Ignore using share, just open Compressor and put movies into it.) -
I am having trouble synchronizing my calendars from my computer to my iPhone, iPads and iPod touch
Since upgrading to Mt. Lion I am having problems syncing my calendars thru iTunes onto my iPhone , 2 IPad 2's, 1 iPad 3 and iPod touch. Some things will sync and some not. My whole family syncs to iCal on our iMac but lately none of the appts we put on our devices are syncing with the computer and vice versa. This happens whether we try wireless or wired sync. Any suggestions?
Never mind:) I finally found a post taht helped me figure out the problem. You have to turn off the parental restrictions...duh!

IPhone, iPad and iPod touch Video
On the next iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you should really make it so you can screenshare, meaning you can take photos without the camera but you should be able to make videos. So when you take a photo, you press the home button and the turn off /turn on button at the same time quickly. If you hold them both at the same time for a few seconds, they should be able to take videos! It'd be a cool feature, considering skype is an app and FaceTime and people want to screen share. Hope it happens, and mention me for the idea! -Micah

IPod Touch No Longer Syncs After Upgrade to 10.8.3

I recently got an Iphone and after I installed it on my computer my 2 ipods are no longer able to sync to the computer how do I get the computer to recognize the 2 different ipods so I can still use them?
Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone? Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
What happens now when you connect the iPod? Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager? -
1st Generation iPod Touch No Longer Recognized by Windows 7 PC
I have a 1st generation iPod Touch (no camera) that can no longer connect to my Windows 7 pc. Plugging in the iPod via USB does not trigger any sort of dialog box in Windows and it doesn't trigger a message saying a device has been connected; the iPod does not show up in either iTunes, Computer, Device Manager or Devices and Printers, either as an Apple mobile device or an unrecognized device, and does not charge when connected to USB (though the wall-charger still works). As far as my computer is concerned this iPod does not exist. I had successfully synced this iPod as recently as one week ago and am ready to pitch the thing in the garbage if I can't find a solution.
I have the latest version of iTunes as well as the most up-to-date Windows updates. I have already followed all the steps listed here (iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows) multiple times with no success.
I also have tried following the instructions listed here (Re: For those Windows users who suddenly cannot see their device in iTunes. Here's a solution that has worked.) but this also hasn't worked since the iPod isn't recognized in the Device Manager and I am not given the option of updating the drivers, manually or otherwise.
I have uninstalled/re-installed iTunes and all related Apple services multiple times. The Apple Mobile Device Service is functioning normally. iTunes diagnostics indicate that there is no device connected no matter what I do. I have reinstalled my Windows USB drivers and changed the settings on the USB Root Hub in the Windows Device Manager to disable power saving options.
I have tried connecting the device to another PC which detects and syncs another apple device (iPhone 5) with no issues, and had the exact same result: the computer doesn't even recognize an iPod is connected.
I can't update the Apple Mobile Device Drivers because the device is not recognized by my machine in any way.
I even completely reset my iPod and that just left me with a unactivated iPod that still isn't detected.
I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style advice that people seem to offer on this forum. If anybody has dealt with this issue and has any serious advice other than "re-install iTunes," it would be much appreciated.You said "I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style"
- Did you try another cable?
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

IPod touch no longer recognized by my PC/laptop
My iPod touch is not showing up in my computer, or in itunes. Apple store says the connector port on the bottom is fried and won't ever connect to a computer via USB cable again. It still charges thru the wall charger, tho, and works fine otherwise.
How can I get music onto my iPod touch via either wifi, or perhaps 3rd party apps like Dropbox?
I know I can buy music thru itunes and do the automatic download onto the itunes on my iPod touch...but I have alot of music in mp3 format already on my laptop that I converted from old CDs and want to know how to get those albums/songs onto my iPod touch and my iPod's itunes.
Please let me know if there are any other options to get that music onto there.
Thx!That's what i was afraid of...but that's extra work and doesn't allow you to jump to a certain track.
Thanks for the response- sounds like I either have to settle for keeping the iPod i've got and never putting new music onto it...or break down and spend the money on a new one. This one is barely past its warranty, tho, so it's tough to spend that kind of $ yet again for another iPod that won't last very long.
Does anyone know of any 3rd party repair people who can fix iPod touch?
