  • Ipod isnt recognized and is unable to be restored!

    Please help.
    I have had a 30 gig color ipod for about six months, never had a problem until 2 days ago. I dont think there is a problem with my PC, as its a work computer and has never had acted up.
    After resetting my Ipod, the ipod logo screen will not go away and the Ipod will not turn on.
    I've tried putting the Ipod into disk mode but the Ipod isnt recognized by Itunes. I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes and Ipod Installer. I have backed up all of my files.
    I want to try to Restore the Ipod but I can't because its not being recognized. My USB port works fine and I know the connection works because when I put it in disk mode, I can see it charging.
    On one attempt to Restore the Ipod, I got message that says "can't mount Ipod"
    What can I do??? Thank you.

    I have a similar problem. I have a 60Gb color Ipod which worked fine with my previous computer, a Pentium III using Windows 2000.
    I changed to a Windows XP notebook and the iPod is not recognized by it. The strange thing is that it apears on the attached devices feature (usually on the lower right bar) once I connect it, it appears as drive F: on explorer, but when I try to open it on explorer I get an error message, most of the time saying it is an I/O problem. Additionaly, the iPod is not recognized by iTunes and when I tried formating or updating it I either got a message it was not connected or the Initializing went on forever.
    I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me (I already booted everything several times, resintalled all programs, formated my iPod in the other computer...).

    everytime i go to plug my ipod 5 in with the charger in to the mac desktop computer a message says "USB DEVICE DISABLED" "unplug the device using to much power to re-enable usb devices" and ever since i had got that message my charger had stopped working even plug into a wall outlet
    ps.its my only charger and i need to know if i can fix this problem or my mac broke my charger

    Hey HoustonSmith, using to much power generally means a short. Do not use this cable, the lighting cables have a history of failure; shorting out. If within one year of purchase date take it to Apple, the cable also has a one year warranty, if short is do to manufacturing flaw and not abuse Apple will replace it free! Otherwise a new cable is around $30. You could also try a reset or restore, but don't think a glitch is your problem. If you do try to restore, just remember to make backup copies of all the info / data on this iPod to your computer first, then attempt to restore. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Deleted songs on my iPod by sync with new Mac - ups! Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    deleted songs on my iPod when sync with new Mac - ups! However all songs are still on my iPad library. Can I sync with iPad to get all song back?

    You can use the transfer purchases feature to put the songs back into iTunes from the iPad - as long as the songs were purchased from iTunes.
    Connect the iPad, launch iTunes and then right click on the iPad name under devices and select Transfer Purchases. But ..... Before you do that - turn off auto sync first.
    Launch iTunes and the go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically. Check the box at the bottom that says that. Then click OK. Then you can connect the iPad to the new Mac to transfer the purchases.
    This will only work for music purchased from iTunes. If you have music ripped from CD's, you will need a third party app - like TouchCopy.
    You can also download the songs again in iTunes as long as you use the same Apple ID. But read this about downloading past purchases as there are some restrictions based on where you live.

  • Can I change the Black colour of my ipod touch 4g with new white one?

    Can I change the Black colour of my ipod touch 4g with new white one?

    You can't get a new color iPod for free. Unless you paint it (which I highly reccomend NOT doing), you must buy a new white iPod touch. You can't trade your iPod touch in for a white one.

  • IPod touch texting with new iOS / iTunes account options

    My son has an iPod touch and now has texting ability with the new IOS.  His iPod is linked to my account, so my name comes up when he texts.  Can I create a "sub-account" under mine so his name is the sender, not mine?  Or, do I need to make an all new account.?
    Any other scenarios to work around without a brand new account?

  • New computer--do i erase ipod and sync with new itunes library?

    I downloaded itunes on my ancient pc and that's where I synced my ipod. i finally put that pc out to pasture and now have a new laptop. i downloaded itunes to the new computer, and when i hooked up my ipod i got the message "the ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library?" So do I want to erase and sync or not? I'm scared I'm going to mess everything up if I erase it.
    One more question: my daughter got a new ipod; once i figure out this syncing issue with my existing ipod, do I need to set up a new account for the new ipod, or can i sync it with the account i already have?
    sorry for all the questions--I'm a newbie and want to get this right. Thanks for your help!

    Hello. I recently had to restore my computer (as if it was new due to, to many viruses) Afterwards itunes was still there but the music i have on my ipod was not previously purchased through itunes but they were on my computer and placed in itunes library and sent to my ipod. Well after restoring my pc, itunes opened up when i connected my ipod and it asked me to update. So i updated to itunes 10. Now it is telling me that this ipod is registered to my fiance' and it is running off a different itunes library, and that I would either need to erase and sync to the new library in itunes 10, or transfer to itunes 10 library. I tried transfer and restarted itunes, but it just asked me the same questions again. It wouldnt let me create new place lists either. im scared to erase bc i have so many songs i wont remember what there all were to go back and download if it actually erases all my current songs or applications. I assumed when itunes updated to itunes 10, it would update with all my information. And although the ipod is registered in his name or however he did that, I also have sum form of account with apple/itunes because it uses my email address and my credit card during purchases for this ipod (his name is just there). i dont understand what I am suppose to do to fix this problem. These songs are still on my computer and the program where i downloaded them from but since i had to restore the whole computer, its like they are probably hidden files and arent being detected i guess. I really dont know. I have been reading and I see many ppl with the same issue. Any suggestions that wont cost me anything or a little of nuthing to resolve? I heard of Tansee Ipod Transfer but it charges you to move your files from your ipod, into a folder, to your computer, and then to be added to your itunes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks...Lana

  • IPod not working with new iTunes

    As soon as I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, it stopped recognizing my iPod. iTunes says the iPod is synced with another library and it's not. I even erased everything off the iPod and synced it up again just to be sure, and when I plugged it in a second time, it gave me the same error message -- iPod is synced with another library. Please help!

    ok so i did what ya said and put it into disk mode but still nothing comes up in itunes or mycomputer.
    okay, it's possible that you've got a defective unit there.
    you'll still be within your 90-day complimentary support period for that, and there's information on that here (click the "Contact support (Click for more)" link above the "Hardware Repair Options" heading):

    ... but it might be easiest to just arrange for a return. see:

  • Ipod not recognized unless fully charged.

    Hi, I recently changed my PC, I was using windows xp and everything was fine. Now, I am using Windows 7 and my Ipod is not recognized neither by my PC nor Itunes, unless it is fully charged. I did not have this issue before. Any solutions?

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some troubleshooting steps. While the article isn't for troubleshooting this specific issue, it can be useful in finding out if any of the settings have changed during the upgrade process.

  • IPod touch 3g with 2g charger

    I've been trying to find a charger suitable for my third generation 32GB iPod touch, and while I've found many that are compatible with the 2nd generation iPod touch (and say nothing about 3rd generation iPods on the box), those I've tried have worked strangely. The iPod does charge, however when my iPod is connected and I try to type, using any application, some keys I didn't touch are written as if I had, and the touch interface in general works in a bit of a weird manner.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any risk in using a 2nd generation iPod touch charger with my 3rd generation iPod touch? Do I have to use a charger specifically designed for my iPod?

    A charger for a 2G Touch will work fine for a 3G ... there was a charging change between the 1st and 2nd generations, but not between 2nd and 3rd.
    Your touch screen issues are very likely something else, nothing to do with your charger as long as it was designed for iPod.

  • IPod touch 2G with Nano charger?

    Hi there..
    My girlfriend just bought an iPod touch 2G and it didn't come with a charger to charge from the wall.. only the usb cable. I own an iPhone and now don't have use of my IPod Nano 2G charger that I used to use. Will this charger work for her Ipod touch???
    Thanks for your help.

    It does.. That's great. I just wasn't sure if the output wattage was the same for all of them but I guess if it's using usb like the touch then it should work.. Cheers for the help.

  • How much faster will ipad 4 charge with new charger

    Has anyone seen a number that tells us how much faster the new ipad 4 will charge?
    Can anyone guess how much faster the ipad 3 would charge with the new charger brick?
    I can't even find estimates in articles on the web... Maybe we won't know till some of them ship?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Thanks... That's pretty disappointing - 20% more power and only 5-7% improvement in speed.
    I'm sure hoping the ipad 4 does better than that.
    Cheers,
    Tom
