Ipod giving grief, any possible solution? :(
Ok, ive practically had it with my ipod, its been giving me greif for the past few months and frankly if its not fixed soon im gonna burn it... and enjoy it.
My problem seems be getting worse and worse. It started when i rebooted my computer. After rebooting it and reinstalling itunes i tried to connect my ipod (which was working fine at the time) and it wouldnt connect, even though it had previously. So to try and solve this i checked all usb ports etc. were working. I also reinstalled itunes which partially worked, however the computer was detecting my ipod as a camera. So to stop this i went to cameras+scanners and selected so it wouldnt automatically detect it. This stopped it from being detected as a camera but as a result it was back to not being detected at all. So i decided to try going to general settings on my ipod and completely wipe it of everything (which annoyed me even more seeing as i have about £30 worth of games nd music on it.... It took a few hours and after id done that i tried to turn my ipod on and all it does is stop at the apple logo on startup and the only way i can turn it off is by resetting it... It also still doesnt connect to my computer.
Im seriously annoyed at this and frankly im dissapointed with my ipod completely. Any help is greatly appreciated, but at the end of the day the odds are im gonna have to get another one, i just hope my ipods still in waranty.
It started when i rebooted my computer.
You mean reformat. Reboot simply means to restart (turn it off then back on).
Plug the iPod into one of the USB ports directly on the back of the computer.
Does the iPod show up in My Computer?
You should add your computer/OS/iPod to your signature line by clicking here -> Apple Discussion - My Settings
and filling out the info.
This will help others when trying to figure out what is going on.

I am having trouble connecting MacBook Pro (10.6.7) to Novell server. I get incorrect username and password message. I can connect worksations running 10.5 without any problem. Any possible solution? Thanks, Ned
Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?

Hi,
We are developing quite a few excel worksheet reports.
The reports dont show the cells if contain formulas ( when opened in iPad or ipod ),
Is there any good solutions .
Thanks.There is no version of Excel for iPads. iPads come with something that lets you view the contents of Excel files but it implements only the common easy features and there are (literally) hundreds of things you can do in Excel that it doesn't know how to show on the screen, including some functions.
If you intend to work with spreadsheets on an iPad I suggest you buy Numbers for iPad
http://www.apple.com/apps/iwork/numbers/
which understands more (but still not 100%) of the things that Excel does. It is so cheap that you can probably afford to buy a copy just to see whether it does what you want.
If you are doing things with spreadsheets and intend to be primarily working on iPads then I suggest you actually use Numbers on a Mac as well, rather than using Excel at all. -
i have bought my Iphone 4s from USA and right now i am in India. How can i repair my phone in INDIA. when i contacted the image store they said, they will not repair it. friends can you suggest any possible solution
Because an iPhone warranty is only good in the country of purchase. You will have to take it back to the USA or send it to someone there to have them take it to an Apple store.

New iPod, new computer, any possible chance to get my apps?
Ok, so the full story.
My iPod was broke, I sent it in to get fixed, but they couldn't fix it, so they sent me a new iPod.
Mean while, my computer hard drive crashed, and had to be formatted. So now, I have no apps.
From what I have read on the internet, I can't get them back. But is this true.
I think its extremly ridiculas if I can't, mainly because there is an Purchase History, which shows every app I've downloaded and how much i've paid.
Thanks for any help._*How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store*_

ITunes7 & 5th gen iPod updating - is this possible solution? (winXP)
Downloaded iTunes 7 and you've gone through the 5 R's until your red in the face?
* This probable solution 'stumbled upon' using a 60GB video. I have no idea if the process will work the same for nano. But if your desperate and have backed up your library... full steam ahead.
If you've noticed that your iPod does not show up in My Computer, but shows up in iTunes, and the new Update or Restore option within iTunes (Summary tab of a recognized iPod) doesn't work (choosing 'Update' gives you error 1417 and 'Restore' gives you error 1418 - whatever they mean) then give this a try:
1. Restart your computer - just to make sure we're all on the same page
2. Start up/Load iTunes
3. Connect your iPod to your computer - it may take a little time for iTunes to connect to your device
4. When the dialogue box pops up telling you that a new version of firmware (ver. 1.2) is available choose: INSTALL
5. As iTunes shows you a progressive bar of 'installing' (the bar scrolls across again and again) use the "Safely Remove Hardware" option in your taskbar and stop "Apple iPod USB Device". The computer will then tell you that the device can now be removed
6. "Installing" continues... plug in/connect iPod again. The "Install" continues like nothing's happened. Weird, huh?
7. Apple logo and Update status bar should now appear on your dimmed iPod screen (because of no backlight)
8. At this point, dialogue box pops up on computer to tell you that updating continues
9. "Do Not Disconnect" symbol will then show on your iPod
10. Process finishes after a time, and now the Summary tab says the iPod has been updated.
HA!!! If this is all that troubles you - HUZZAH! And I hope this helped.
Now that we've come this far... I've found that when I normally open iTunes and plug in my iPod to aunto-sync, I now get ERROR (-50) -> Mac needs to get a database online or something to tell me what these 'errors' mean so I don't freak out when I get one...
1. Go BACK to the Summary tab or your recognized deive in iTunes. Now choose RESTORE. Make sure whatever is on your iPod can be replaced
2. This part takes time
3. Computer will pop with dialogue box saying that iPod is restored and being changed to factory settings
4. Prompt then pops up for you to name your little iPod. At this stage you can choose to 'Auto-sync songs and vids when connected' or 'Auto-sync photos' and from which directory. It's up to you.
5. iTunes will then thank you for registering your iPod. From this point, the files are copied to your device. Depending on how large your library is affects how long this process takes.
I hope this was helpful to you.
Self-Built PC Windows XPDidn't work for me, I tried two times.
Seems like the only way for itunes to recognize my ipod is to uninstall itunes, reboot, install itunes and voilà... but no matter what I do next with the ipod (try to upgrade it or not), next time itunes won't recognize the ipod.
I even went back to itunes 6, but no matter how clean the reinstallation was done, it always complained with: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
Apple please fix this!!! Update iTunes 7.0 ASAP! -
I have already tried the Find My iPhone -app, but it doesn't work! My friend mentioned that you could find a stolen/lost Mac by the serial number, but I don't have it either! Could someone please help me?!!?? Is there any way to get the serial number even if the computer already is stolen? I have had the computer for years, about four years now, and it is very important for me! I have all my photos, backups, music, information and stuff and so on there! I already looked from my My Apple ID Profile, but the device wasn't registered there either. I really hope there was atleast some way to find out the serial number of it! If i have had it for so many years, there has to be at least some place where the serial number has been saved to, or what?!!??
If you already set up Find My iPhone on the MacBook Pro, you might be able to use it to track. You can not track it by serial number. Report it to the local law enforcement and see if your insurance company will cover it under a claim. Check with your credit card company as well, if you purchased the MBP using a card, some cards cover theft for a certain period.
If you don't know your serial number - and it sounds like you do not - you may be able to get it from your Apple support profile. go to https://supportprofile.apple.com and use your Apple ID to check for it. You will need the serial number for the police report.
If you are using iCloud on the MBP, change your password, so that no one else can access your accout.
I sympathize with you. I had a PowerBook G4 stolen when it was almost brand new and it was a real blow. I hope you get it back, but realistically there is not a big chance of it. -

IPod is not recognized by Windows Vista - possible solution
During the past couple of weeks that I faced this problem I found out that a lot of people had the same question as I did.
Here is a possible solution.
I have HP Pavilion laptop with Windows Vista. After I connected my new iPod – it didn’t show up in My Computer as a new device and in Device Manager it was listed in “Other devices” with a question mark next to it. I already had iTunes installed – it didn’t show up in iTunes. On the attempt to reinstall the driver I had a message that the driver was found but an error occurred while installing it.
Here is what I did:
1. Install iTunes (it has iPod driver for Vista in it).
2. Turn on iPod and connect it to computer.
3. Restart computer with iPod turned on and connected to computer.
4. On the start up the computer will begin automatically installing the driver and the message will appear in the corner that new device is being installed.
5. After it has been installed – check My Computer – you should see it listed there.
6. Run iTunes and configure iPod.
iTunes might run a little bit slow when configuring iPod for the first time.
Good luck.if only this fix worked for windows xp or even 2000 (at my job)
insane, but it IS a driver/usb problem i now know, at least i've gotten that far. -
Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?
This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating
ThanksIs there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library?
Unfortunately there is not.
Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

Hii Can anyone tell me is there any possibility of giving some due payment like bonus or offcycle once employee termination is done along with the payroll run and posting.
ThanxOne Possibility is by making manual entry for that employee from FI side.. (this will give you soln..) Take the help of FI consultant...
Another possibility is in IT0003 "Payroll Status".. You can opt mention next month date "Run Payroll up to" & execute Off cycle payroll for that employee...
Just try this hope this may sort your issue....
If it still it doesn't give you soln.. You may need to reverse the posting of that employee & change employment status.. Run Bonus & finally terminate the employee & do the posting.. -
've lost my Ipod touch 5 Gen. and wanted to ask if there is any possibility to localise my ipod! I've got an Apple-ID, does that help?
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
