IPod controls sometimes work with touch and sometimes not

Anyone else having difficulty with the rewind, pause/play, fast forward buttons at the bottom of the ipod portrait screen.
I'm playing an audiobook and many times the buttons don't respond. I can't predict when it will occur just before I press a button but it can happen easily. One time today it took 8 presses before the fast forward button activated.
While it looks like I'm pressing the button it may be that the actual spot is not were I think it is, but then again I keep bumping into pressing and pressing and pressing until it works.

It sounds to me like an issue with your iTunes, try un-installing the software and re-installing it and see what happens then. It seems a little odd that it won't recognise 2 iPods, so I highly doubt it is the iPods' fault.
If it deosn't work after re-installing, take it to the Apple Store (with your computer, if it is portable) and they should be able to help out

I have a sonos music system that does not yet work with Lion and will not for about 3-weeks. I need to uninstall lion and go back to snow leopard, how do I do that?

I have a Sonos music system that is not yet compatible with Lion and will not be for several weeks. How do I uninstall Lion and go back to Snow Leopard?

While we all have MacBooks only a few have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

ICloud control panel works with 1 ID but not with another

I don't get what the issue is. I can't get the iCloud control panel to work with my itunes/iCloud ID. I am running Windows 7 home premium 64-bit. I logged in with my wife's iCloud account and it worked, logged out and tried to use mine and nothing. It just sits there and the little circle next to "sign in" just spins.
I downloaded the newest update for the control panel and tried it again. Hers works, mine doesn't. This has been going on for about a year and is really annoying.
It is just on the control panel, my iCloud credentials work fine everywhere else (iCloud website, here, iPhone, iPad), so I know that is not the problem.

Here's one way to simplify some of this code. I know that this has nothing to do w/ the original question, but nevetheless, it's an itch that I feel I have to scratch...
public class ssnBoard extends JFrame implements ActionListener,
    Runnable
    JPanel pane = new JPanel();
    JButton[] numberBtns = new JButton[10];
    Font bigFont;
    Color[] numberButtonColors =
        Color.MAGENTA, Color.red, Color.pink, Color.blue, Color.yellow,
        Color.green, Color.yellow, Color.blue, Color.pink, Color.red
    JButton clear = new JButton("CLEAR");
    JButton cancel = new JButton("CANCEL");
    JTextField RutgersIDField = new JTextField("", 6);and this
        for (int i = 1; i < numberBtns.length; i++)
            pane.add(setUpNumberBtns(i));
        pane.add(setUpNumberBtns(0));
        clear.setFont(smallFont);
        Color c10 = Color.white;
        clear.setBackground(c10);
        clear.setForeground(Color.black);
        clear.addActionListener(this); // register button
        pane.add(clear);
        clear.setFocusable(false);and of course this:
    private JButton setUpNumberBtns(int i)
        JButton myBtn = numberBtns;
myBtn.setFont(bigFont);
myBtn.setBackground(numberButtonColors[i]);
myBtn.setForeground(Color.black);
myBtn.addActionListener(this);
myBtn.setFocusable(false);
return myBtn;

Same issue, possibly different circumstance? After each software update on my iPod 5, apps that I use regularly and/or have paid for are removed from my iPod. When I go to the app store to reinstall them, there is no option to reinstall or download. I have no restrictions set on my iPod.

My new ipod won't sync with itunes and does not show on windows

Hi
I got a new ipod nano gen 7 to replace 2 old ipods that were stolen. the problem is that it won't sync at all. When I plug it in it charges, but my windows 7 browser doesn't see it, and neither does my itunes. I have Mcafee security and I have updated itunes, windows and checked my mcafee settings as per other users issues on the web and it still isn't working! If I plug it into another computer though it works fine.
Have tried - resetting ipod, downloading upgrades, switching firewall off.
No idea what else i can do!
Help!

Hi I am having the same problem and I saw that u fixed it on your own...how?

Does iTunes 10.7 (Cover-Flow work with Mavericks and if not what do I have to do?

What do I have to do to keep my 10.7 iTunes (Cover-Flow) with Mavericks?
Thanks guys all appreciated responses will be accepted in this matter.

I just had the similar issue. I redeemed my iTunes gift card then went to download something and was asked for my billing info. I completed the information and I think accepted terms and then had a pop-up telling me that my my account would be debited with the purchase. My VISA (billing info) did not appear to be charged as my gift card amount showing in the top right decreased with the purchase. So I just completing the information and hopefully it will happen the same for you! Good luck!

Polarioid pogo printer not working with ipad and iphone

And I can not believe how that truly *****... I am traveling through the states and bought the pogo to print on the road... Only to find out that it does not work with ipad and does not work with iphone... Unless I jailbreak my phone which I don't really want to do...
Apple wants us to go mobile and clouding and all those things, yet, when we do go mobile and try a mobile life style, we are encountering so much technical crap that we loose the will to live...
I could have spend the hundred dollar for the pogo to have pics printed out in every kiosk in the country...
WWhen is Apple going to come to its senses about little life savers like the pogo and bluetooth???????
Is anyone aware of a work around so I can print on the go? And a solution that does not involve a programmers brain because my single braincell is not working while traveling... It needs to be easy!

To cut through all the rage and anger and "knowing" who wanted what, the Pogo has been out for a year or so, well before Mr. Jobs' passing, and Apple did not make any mention of supporting printing on anything other than Airprint compatible printers.
Since Airprint is a Wi-Fi/ethernet thing, Polaroid would have to make a significant redesign to the Pogo. Considering that the first iPhones only supported Bluetooth headsets and Apple didn't provide any indications about increasing Bluetooth support, Polaroid's decision for the Pogo to be Bluetooth was obviously not with iOS devices in mind. This is why initially Polaroid had links on the FAQ to tell Apple to add Bluetooth printing support (so that in effect, asking Apple to pay for the expenses to make the iPhone compatible with the Pogo, rather than Polaroid paying to make the Pogo compatible with iOS.)
I come from a photograpic background. I got the Pogo as soon as it came out. I quite literally was on Polaroid's website every day checking to see when I could order it. Having "instant" sticker prints is wonderful at family picnics with all the kids. While it would be great to be able to get Pogo prints from anyone's iPhone, I stopped holding my breath when Apple announced Airprint, which came well after the Pogo was released. So I took that as the sign that it was probably never going to happen. (I knew that the Pogo wasn't iOS compatible when I bought it so not having compatiblity is not a deal-breaker for me. But, yes, it would be nice.)
I now use a Polaroid Z340 since it's a 14 megapixel camera that prints larger 3x4 Zink prints. Polaroid makes the GL10, which is basically a Pogo using the same printer as the Z340. But it's still Bluetooth only. So while I sympathize with the desire to have a really compact portable printer like the Pogo, iOS compatibility just does not seem to be on the horizon. IMHO, it would be more realistic that Polaroid create an app to do Bluetooth printing. But considering Polaroid's financial issues, I'm not holding my breath

HT1414 Ipod Touch can't find Bluetooth device. (Jam Box) Upgraded Itunes software did a backup and restore on the Ipod. My PC sees it fine. IPod used to work with JamBox. Reset Jambox, no luck. Followed every instruction from the forums. Still no luck

Ipod Touch works with APPLE and not WINDOWS

I have a first generation touch. Yesterday the PC crashed while syncing with the iTouch. After that it would not see the iPod any longer. However the APPLE I have sees it just fine. I have gone through the detailed uninstall and re install itunes process several times and tried cleaning the registry - still nothing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 .
The PC based iTunes syncs with another 2G and a nano and a shuffle just fine. Windows also sees the 1G Touch..... ideas other than moving my library to my laptop? I have also reset the 1G and upgraded the software now to the latest firmware. It still works with the APPLE but not with the PC. I am sure this is a driver issue but I cannot get it fixed.

Well I happened on the answer after doing a lot of searches. Why doesn't apple post the fix on their site. This problem is due to their installation package for Vista and the fix does not require all the uninstalls and re installs you have been asked to do so many times....
THANK YOU BeeBopp

Re: Ipod touch is recognized as a camera
Posted: Feb 16, 2009 7:43 AM in response to: Twin195 Reply Email
This solution is very similar to one above but worked for me. Am using iPod Touch 2nd Gen with 32 bit version of Windows Vista where the iTouch is being seen by Windows but does not show in iTunes. In my case it was being identified by Windows as a camera. I tried un-installing and re-installing iTunes and all the other Apple apps with no luck. Was almost ready to throw in the towel when I did one last search for alternate solutions and found the following instructions to reinstall the drivers, but instead of having the system look to the c:\Windows\inf or c:\windows\system 32 folders for the drivers, the path is changed to C:\program files\common files\Apple\Apple Mobile Support\Drivers, which is apparently where Vista installs the drivers. Once I changed the path the driver properly reflected the iTouch as a USB device, and not a digital camera. Try this if you are having similiar issues.
Here are the steps:
1. Verify you have the following files usbaapl.cat, usbaapl.inf & usbaapl.sys in the following directory "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers"
2. Log in using an ADMINISTRATIVE account
3. Single left click on START
4. Single left click on RUN (You may need to change the start menu to 'classic view' to see RUN, you can change back after if you like)
5. Type in " devmgmt.msc " then hit Enter (Don't type in the quotes)
6. Look for Imaging in the Device Manager window, and click on plus sign (In Vista you may not see the "Imaging" option. Look under "Portable Devices" as an alternative)
7. Now you should see " Apple iPod " as a device underneath Imaging (or Portable Devices)
8. Right click on " Apple iPod " then single left click on Properties
9. Single left click on the " Driver " tab
10. Single left click on " Update driver "
11. Select " Install from a list or specific location " or "Browse my computer" whichever shows on your version of Vista
12. Single left click on " Include this location in the search " if shown
13. Paste " C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers " (Don't type in the quotes) into the box " Include this location in the search "
14. Single left click NEXT and keep clicking through until " Apple iPod USB Driver " is detected, if no list appears then you should see the little animated circle thingie spinning. It's looking and working. Be patient.
15. Hopefully you will get a successful message.
16. The correct drivers(s) are now installed.
17. Start up iTunes, and see if you iPod is detected again.
Hope this works for you as it did for me and several others.

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1 update.
I have both of these touches. I updated both 3g and 4g to ios 4.2.1 and poof...no docking station support other than charging, no audio and no remote function. My av/cable works with the tv, and the headphone jack still outputs audio, just no auido through the Apple dock and hte remote is dead. I purchased the dock from the apple store last year and it was working with both ipod 3g and 4g grrrrr...
Is Apple now in the bug trade business?, trade one for another....
Anyone else have this problem?

My iPod Touch 3G running 4.2.1 works fine with the Apple docking station.
Perhaps you have a loose cable somewhere and/or a dead battery in your controller?

Is there any way to get an ipod running/ ipod nike to work with a first generation ipod touch or ipod classic?

Is there any way to get an ipod running/ ipod nike to work with a first generation ipod touch or ipod classic?

We are talking about that Nike device. We have a iPod Classic (software version 2.0.1) and an iPod touch (iOS 4.2.1, an earlier model....maybe 3 years ago). When we plug in into the classic it says "the accessory is not supported) and when we plug it into the touch it says "no receiver required," but neither will load the nike+ running app. I believe it said that our iPod was incompatible with this app. Is there something we need to do to make it compatible? Get an updated operating system or a different app? That has also happened with a few other apps. Thanks!

Wow the customer service is even worse. Does Apple want me to go around jailbreaking my iPod now so I can use something that actually recognizes my product?

My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

Will a ipod nano charger work with a new ipod touch?

will a ipod nano charger work with a new ipod touch?

If you want to charge a touch gen 4 or less, then absolutly (It just might take a little longer than one specifically for the touch, because of watt dierences I think). I'm not sure about gen 5

IPod controls sometimes work with touch and sometimes not
