B-rock, thanks for posting the above. I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\. When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message. I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
What am I doing wrong, can you help?
Thank you!

I don't know if you can fix it or not. You can try or you can pay Apple to repair/replace it or you can pay a thrid party to repair it.

After I upgrade lion to Mavericks, App Store stopped working, any idea how to fix this?

After I upgraded OS lion to Mavericks, in app store I had some new updates, then after a system update, which require restart, then App Store, stopped working, any one can tell me what should I do to fix this problem?

Guys just contact apple support team . They will guide you well and your problem will most probably be resolved. I contacted them and following their instructions my mac is working totally fine again. If at all the problem persist the re-install mavericks by following steps
1). Switch of mac
2). Hold option/alt key and then switch it on.
3). Then choose your language and continue.
4). Now Re-Install OS X .
5). It will start downloading and installing.
6). Leave it idle for the required amount of time.
7). It will restart automatically and your problem will be definitely resolved.
Note:
a. If there is any problem of connection follow the same steps and the downloading will start where it stopped.

IPod Nano 5th gen - Scroll Wheel

Hi,
I have a rather weird problem. It's not that my buttons don't work - they do. It's the scrolling itself I have problems with. I can use "forward" and "backward" and "play/pause" and "menu" buttons just fine. Trouble comes when I need to sroll up or down (to search a song or turn the volume up or down) and it simply won't do it.
I've cleaned the wheel with a cotton swab dipped in 80% alcohol to make sure there is no oil/debris. I've read it has to do with the way the iPod recognizes pressure on the wheel so I make sure I only press the centre button when I wake it up or unlock it. I've done reset and factory restore - with no results.
Once in a while, maybe one out of five times, when I unlock the iPod (release the hold button or whatever would one call it) the wheel will scroll for about 10 - 15 seconds and then it will stop again.
It's very frustrating because I know the wheel if functioning (since sometimes it will scroll for that few seconds after unlocking) so it's not a hardware problem.
User error... well, I'm pretty sure I can scroll up and down alright, because I've had the iPod for some 3 years now and it's always worked just fine until about a week ago when the problem I described above appeared.
If it was a software problem, a factory restore would fix that, wouldn't it?
Since it's not in warranty, I removed the wheel, cleaned underneath and replaced it, but problem persists. It scrolls fine, but only that 10 seconds after I unlock it, once in about five tries. Rest of the time it unlocks and I can go up and down the menu tree, but can not scroll up or down in the actual menu or album list.
Please, tell me my music player isn't done and that there is something else I can try?

1GB Nano, Replaced battery, scroll wheel stop working

Hi,
I have replaced the battery in my 1GB nano. For the battery wires, I cut, twisted and taped them together. Closed it up, the ipod seemed to work. All except the scroll wheel.
I am able to do a restart (menu + action) but can't get into diagnostic mode (rewind + action). I've also done a reset. None of the buttons or the wheel work when the ipod is working.
Is there anything I can do here? Is there something inside which I can fix? any ideas?
thannks

at work so i cant try that now, but do you know if the nano needs the backing on to work? It seems to have some sort of contact sensor. (I have been trying with it on, but if i'm testing it alot, would save time and possible damage to leave it open)
thanks for the info

I have an iPod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album art only on my ipod and not on itunes? Is there any way I can fix it?

I have an ipod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album artwork on my ipod and it's fine on itunes. why is that and is there any way to fix it? please help!

I think it can't find the right or any artwork and ends up putting junk in there.
And can happen with artist and other tags.
probably fine with commercial media but otherwise....? I think you have to manaully go in and edit
I also don't like how it handles and stores non-Apple iTunes store content.

My ipod nano 3rd Generation has just stopped working with no warning signs!

It has a black blank screen and is unresponsive to charging when plugged into a USB port and a standard USB mains powered charger that came with my iphone.
I have tried pressing the menu and centre button and nothing happens.
Please help if possible.
Thank you.

How long have you left it to charge? That is a pretty good chance that the battery may just be shot and in need of replacement.

Movie keeps randomly stopping as if its buffering even though its fully downloaded. What the heck? Any way I can fix this?

The download was fine but it keeps stopping.running slow. Its making watching the movie a pain.

Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

One of the USB ports on my Macbook Pro isn't working. Any way I can fix this or will I have to take it into the store to get repaired?

I bought a Macbook pro this July. Everything has been normal except about a week ago I started noticing I had to plug things in a few times in order for them to connect. Today I realized that one of my USB ports has been the problem, not my devices. THey connect right away when plugged into the right USB port next to the SD slot, but not at all when plugged into the left slot by the firewire hookup. Is this a problem that has a quick fix or am I going to have to go to the mac store?

Reset the SMC and PRAM
SMC Reset:
Shut down the MacBook Pro.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM:
Shut down the MacBook Pro.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

My ipod nano 5th generation will no longer play any of it's loaded songs. It still plays the video that is on it, and the radio works. It is not recognized by itunes and I have gone through all their help steps. Is there some other way to restore it?

If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.
