IPOD FROZEN. BUT I DON'T WANT TO RESET IT. HELP
i haven't backed up any of the files on my ipod (stupid, i know) and now my ipod has frozen.
it seems that the only way to "unfreeze" it is to reset it, and i really don't want to do that, seeing that none of my songs will be on the ipod anymore.
i was just wanting some advice on what to do.
and information about resetting.
please help.
do a reset.. PUSH AND HOLD the menu button and the middle button at the sae time for 10 seconds..
THIS WILL NOT ERASE YOUR IPOD..
A restore will erase your ipod NOT a rest.
good luck

New iPod mini, but I don't want to delete old songs
So I got a new iPod because my battery had worn out and I used my warrenty. However, I heard rumors that if I register my new iPod that I will lose all of my music in iTunes. When I click on iPod Updater, it shows two buttons, "Update" and "Restore". However, "Update" is faded out and does not give me the option to click on it. I am afraid that if I click "Restore" I will lose all of my music in iTunes. Please help.
I'M NOT SURE, but I think if you wanted (just in case) if you wanted your music to be saved to your 'My Documents' folder, on you can. Pull up iTunes (that you used for your old ipod). Go to Advanced on your tool bar. Then go to 'Consolidate Library'. I THINK that might do it. Again, I'm not sure that's what did it for me.

Ok so I have an iPhone and an iPod which share the same iCloud/appleID. I did this today when I got my new iPhone I put in my iCloud details which put everything I had on my iPod onto my iPhone(I was unaware this happened). I'm happy with all the apps added straight on and my contacts added but I don't want to have all my photos from my iPod on my iPhone. I want to keep the photos from my iPod on my iPod and when I take pictures on my iPhone they stay just on my iPhone. I'm wondering if this is possible as it's with the iCloud? I have previous synced my iPod on my laptop when adding music ect but I don't know if that effects iCloud I don't really know but I'm worried if I delete all the pictures off of my iPhone then sync that then sync my iPod into the same laptop will it wipe those pictures since there off my iPhone? I don't really get how all this works so help is very much appreciated!! And I hope what I've wrote makes sense to someone!
Welcome to the Apple Community lizzie.
If you don't want photo stream to sync your photos between devices go settings > iCloud and uncheck photos, do this on each device. -
I have an ipod touch but i don't have enough memory and 0I get an upgrade soon for my phone and i want the iphone but the thing is, can i have an ipod touch and an iphone on the same itunes account like can i use my money on my ipod account for my iphone
Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account. Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices. You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before, but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them, showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there. Is there a way to get them off? The songs dont show up in my itunes on my computer, just on my ipod with a download button next to them. I don't want them there anymore because i don't like that kind of music anymore and i don't know how to get them to go away.
There is a similar setting for Videos on that Settings screen, so if you leave that 'on' you may have similar happening in the Videos app

When I plugged my iPod into my macbook, a window for an iPod Touch software update popped up, so I clicked update, then it said that my iPod was over capacity or something similar to that, so basically I didn't have enough room for the update, which I thought was fine. So then once I unplugged my iPod, I was unable to use it. The screen was telling me to connect to iTunes (how it does when you first purchase an iPod, and turn it on for the first time.) So, I then connected it to iTunes and it told me I had to restore my iPod, it gave me no option other than to click "restore" But I don't want to lose everything that's on my iPod...but now I can't use it because the screen is still telling me to connect to itunes. How do I get out of restoring it?
If you have a graphic of iTunes and a cable displayed on your iDevice then it is in Recovery mode.
Check this to try an "exit"

My iPod touch is off and wont turn on because it has the itunes logo and a usb pointing to it, so when i looked it up online, it says i have to restore it but i don't want to because i don't want to lose all my pictures. What can I do?
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.

When i plug my ipod into my laptop, it comes up as a new ipod. It says it can't sync and wants me to restore it to its original factory settings but I don't want to because I will lose everything.
You have no choice but to restore the iPod. You can restore from backup if y have one.
To restore from backup see:

I want to sync my ipod touch with my new computer. But I don't want to lose any data from my apps.
I want to sync my ipod touch with my new computer. But i don't want to lose any data from my apps. If i erase and sync does it only erase music and videos or does it include apps as well? I specifically don't want to lose any data from Instagram, I don't want to have to start over. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks
Copy everything from your old computer to your new one.

How do I turn the shuffle off on my iPhone? I have the "shake" to shuffle turned off, but I don't want it to shuffle at all.
Start a song, tap the screen, tap the icon on the right under the scrubber bar to enable/disable shuffle.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?
I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one. -
ITunes opens automatically when iPhone3G is docked, but I don't want it to.
I seem to be having the opposite problem that others have been posting about, which is that iTunes doesn't open when they connect their iPhones/iPods.
In my case, it does, but I don't want it to. I've been keeping the iphone in the dock next to my computer to ensure that it has a full charge before I hit the road each day, but if I take it out of the dock to take a phone call or do something else with it, then the next time I insert the iPhone back into the dock, iTunes fires up, even though I've made no changes that require a resyncing.
I've gone through the prefs in iTunes, but the only thing I can find is a setting under Sync that says "Don't automatically sync...", but that's only half the problem.
I seem to recall a setting somewhere at some time in the past that said "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected". What happened to that setting?
Is there some way that I can redock the iPhone without having iTunes boot up?
Thanks!
Message was edited by: Steve PorrittHehe, I was able to recreate your scenario exactly, and I got mine to work, hopefully it will for you too:
To recreate your scenario (greyed out "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected", it NOT checked, yet iTunes still opens when iPhone is connected) I did this:
I don't know if this part matters, but I started out with "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" checked in the device summary tab (too lazy to see if it matters. ;o)) then I went into preferences -> syncing and CHECKED "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods". After this, I went back to the Summary tab and sure enough, got the greyed out message for "automatically sync" and it now it is UNCHECKED. Closed iTunes, plugged in my iPhone and lo and behold iTunes still opened!! This is your scenario exactly right?
So it appears that the combination of settings issue, because here is what I did to fix it: Preferences -> syncing and UNCHECKED "Disable auto sync", then went to the summary tab and UNCHECKED "Automatically sync" (because it ungreyed out and became checked again after changing the other setting), closed iTunes, connected my iPhone and iTunes stayed closed.
Hope this works for you. -
is there a way to organise the files in itunes media into playlists? i have a large playlist that i wish to add to a hard drive but i don't want to have to look up each file location separately.
You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
You still need a backup of that Library.
Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!) -
This ipod means a lot to me. Not because it's an apple ipod, because my mom bought me with all her money.
I know this is not your problem, but i NEED to find it. Only you can't help me.
I know i'm not a important customer but at least try to do something .
I don't know who is answering this message, i hope if someone read this message, can help.
You CAN do it.. but you don't want to.
I'm just telling you, to try to find it. Because the APP doesn't work to ipod's.
at least, you should to get better your apps.
PLEASE, HELP MESorry but the only help you have is the local police.
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. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. 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. -
How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.
If you check songs, simply sync the entire library.
But I highly recommend (and it is far simpler) to create a playlist (or multiple playlists) and select only that playlist to sync.
Leave everything checked.
Then simply add/remove from these playlists and sync away.
