Ipod 4th generation from mac to pc
I apologize if this question has been posted before but I want to make sure I am doing the right thing. I understood that if you had an ipod formatted to work on a mac, you could not use it on a PC. What I need is to sell my 4th Generation mono-display-click weel-40 GB ipod to my friend who owns a PC. She has her own music library and she is not interested in my library at all.
Question: can I format my ipod so she can use it on a PC with her own library?
ipod Mac OS X (10.4.3)
You can't, but she can.
All she does is connect it to the PC. It should tell her that it needs formatting, so she should follow the instructions.
Or, she can do this.

HT5192 what happen if i updated my ipod (4th generation) from there and not from my coputer??
update my ipod touch 4th generation from there and not from my computer?
Connecting to a new computer or iTunes will always erase the device first. Back up manually before, by right clicking on the iPod in the device list and choosing "backup". A manual backup does not include the sync process. You can use this backup to restore from after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
See also iTunes: About iOS backups to see more info about the content of a backup, and How to back up your data and set up as a new device if you want to know more about saving info from the iPod before setting it up in iTunes. -

FaceTime is banned there, that's why you don't have it & there is no way to add it to your touch.

HT1460 I purchased an Ipod 4th Generation from a Canadian seller
I did not realize that it would not be able to access the internet in the same way. For example, I cannot download the Pandora App because Pandora recognizes the Ipod as Canadian. Is there anything I can do to allow websites/apps recognize the Ipod as a U.S. Ipod?

I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!
Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup. -
I just got an iPod 4th generation and Im trying to sync my iTunes songs and books from my dell laptop on to my iPod but it says I need iTunes 10.6.3.

I have already tryed uninstalling all Apple Inc. programs on my laptop then trying to install iTunes again but that has had no success what so ever. I have started to get very frusterated with this . Hopefully someone can help. I would really appreciate it. Any suggestion?

Okay, so somebody stole my Ipod, 4th generation, and it don't have IOS 7, it has IOS 6.1.4, and apparently I was tracking it with police officers this morning and when I get home from school (now, 4:26) it appears that it's offline and I can't see the location no more, so my question is... Can they still find out where is it located?
Your carrier might be able to locate it if it's on their network and they are ordered to do so by the police or the courts. It can't be tracked with Find My iPhone if it's offline.

Looking for a procedure to switch an iPod 2nd generation from Win. to Mac
Hello,
I'm looking for a procedure to switch/migrate an iPod 2nd generation from a Windows computer to a Mac running Snow Leopard.
When the iPod was first connected to the Mac its content was imported fine. However, ever since when the iPod is connected to the Mac it will appear in the Finder as a "drive" but doesn't appear anymore in iTunes.
I couldn't find any document in Apple's support web site about how to properly handle that type of migration.
I would appreciate if somebody could point me to a documented procedure on how to resolve this, or provide any other type of suggestion.

Upgrading Apple iPod Touch (MC544LL/A 32GB 4th Generation) from iOS 4.3.5 to iOS 5
could some boody guide me about how to upgrade an Apple iPod Touch (MC544LL/A 32GB 4th Generation) from iOS 4.3.5 to iOS 5. i have itunes 10.6.1. when i try to upgrade it gives me an option to upgrade it to iOS 5.1.1 but i dont want to do that as i have a custom app which can only run on iOS 5.0. Any suggestions would be welcome

kalpeshKalpesh:
"Back in the day" one could roll back an iPod to a previous version because of how Apple controlled updates. Later on, Apple decided to change the process. That change makes it impossible to roll back to a previous version of iOS.
Basically, Apple forces iTunes to "phone home," and request permission to update your device. At that point Apple's update server looks at your device type, device id, and iOS version. If you are running an older version of iOS, and if your hardware is supported by the latest version, then iTunes is allowed to update your device. Roll back are not permitted. Period, end of story....
So then you have two choices:
1. Do not update your iPod to 5.1.1
2. Have the app written for 5.1.1 and then upgrade your iPod.
Oh, and if you still have doubts, let your mouse cursor do the walking and search the archives... And Google will no doubt find TONS of info about this... -

I am afraid to download the new update software ios 6.1.6. Because everytime I let it put new software on, It makes my Ipod 4th generation mess up one way or another. Usually it makes the wifi go off and I cannot get it back on. Then I can't even use the ipod! I am having a problem now with it shuffling. Do both red x's one on each corner right top and left top need to be on for it to shuffle? Thank-You; Sherry PS, I do not have a Mac. I have a dell window 7. and I don't want windows 8. I have heard nothing but bad about it!
Nope, though it did allow me to get some missing songs back onto my iPod. That's something. But neither "Back in Black" or "Dirty Deeds" show up anywhere on the Touch. Could this be because iTunes has no deal with AC/DC?
Quite frankly, at this point, I'd really rather not have the "ease of use" of iCloud attached to the iPod. It's not like I change my playlists that much. It would just be nice to get what I want onto my MP3 player. Not sure which one it was: iCloud, Music Match or the Air Port but the only real result of all the $ I plunked down is seeing all of my Wife's 231 Christmas songs popping up on my laptop. Really don't want them here. She SURE AS **** is sick of seeing all of my stuff on her computer.
Thanks again.

A few weeks ago, my iPod 4th Generation's FaceTime was working fine. Until, unfortunately, a day or two after I had updated my iPod to the new iOS 5 software, it had stopped working. I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence, but it is bugging me. I've tried signing in, and it works, but once I get to the page where I must verify or put in an email address so you may FaceTime from, I am sent back to the sign in page. I have tried numerous times to sign in different accountsI have or just use different contact email. But, if I put in ([email protected]) for a sign in, and ([email protected]) for an address it may be called from, I always end up with the popup coming up and saying "Cannot verify because it is already in use. Although, no one knows any of my emails or passwords. I only have one email registered on my brothers iPad, but i try signing out of his and disabling it, so i may use it. But it doesn't work, in the past it did, I could even use an email for 3 iPods and iPads. but not anymore. i don't know what to do. Can i please get help?
