IPod not recognized -- an UPDATE (note iPod HP users)

After nearly 3 months, I'm finally listening to an iPod again!
First of all, let me offer MUCH THANKS to HP. They were efficient, courteous, and timely in helping me with this problem. Do you have an HP iPod? I bought mine at costco a few months ago, didn't even realize it was associated with HP until I looked on the back of the iPod. If you do, and it is still under warranty, YOU ARE IN LUCK. I got on the hp website, looked under support, found my ipod, and emailed the support representative with my problem (see original post below). Within a few hours of exchanging emails, they had walked me through a "hard drive scan" on the ipod and determined it was faulty. Sent me a pre-paid fed ex package and after a couple of weeks sent me a brand new iPod (same generation) that is now working great.
And to apple: thanks for making a great product that was a major advance in how people enjoy music and audibooks. I'M VERY DISSAPOINTED IN THE SUPPORT SERVICE FROM APPLE. I TRIED FOR MONTHS TO FOLLOW YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS, AND NO ONE OFFERED ANY HELPFUL ADVICE OR OFFERED FOR ME TO SEND IT IN FOR REPAIR. HP was literally giving me useful advice within minutes of my email, and took care of their customer. I find it ironic that HP recently broke ties with iTunes and iPod.

After this experience, apple deserves it.
Originial post:
I post this message to add my name to the growing list of iPod owners who have the SAME PROBLEM -- namely when I plug in my less than 1 year old iPod into a powered 2.0 USB drive, neither Windows or iTunes can access the device.
Despite countless hours of resetting, retrying, restarting, reinstalling, and restoring; downloading the newest software for itunes and ipod updater; changing drive letters through my computer; and trying to reformat the device -- nothing works. As I type this message my ipod continues to do what it has done for the last week, flash "do not disconnect" over and over...

Try this.

You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you sync with another one the iPod will be erased and its contents replaced with what is in the library of the second computer.
However, you can manage music among multiple computers. See:

BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum

Apple Store ID not recognized to update iPhoto on Mac Pro5,2 Yosemite.

Apple Store ID not recognized to update iPhoto app on Mac Pro5,2 Yosemite.

Which version of iPhoto do you have?
If you cannot update, for some reason, try to buy iPhoto. If you are lucky, it may show for free.
Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, but do not empty the Trash, so you can put iPhoto back, if need be.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

Hello nkrlw,
It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
On iPhone and iPod touch, tap in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

HT5625 I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time.

I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time. I changed my apple ID when I got a new e mail address a few months ago .

Any apps you have installed from the old AppleID will always be tied to that AppleID. You have no choice but to enter the password for the old AppleID if you want to update apps downloaded using that ID.
The only way to stop being asked for the password for the old AppleID is to remove all apps from the device that were downloaded using that old AppleID.
You'd then need to re-download (and re-purchase) any apps you want to keep using under the new AppleID.
Apps cannot be transferred between AppleIDs.

Delete all apps that were purchased with the former ID and renown load or purchase them with your ID.

IPod shuffle software update status different between users

With User 1, iTunes 7.0.2 says my 2G iPod shuffle is up to date (software version: 1.0). If I switch to User 2 and plug the same iPod shuffle into the dock, then iTunes says there's an iPod sofware update available (version 1.0.1). I decline the offer to update. Going back to User 1, no update is suggested (version 1.0 is current).
Why does iTunes report a different software update status depending on which user is active? I don't think there's a software version 1.0.1 for the 2G iPod shuffle.
There is no ~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/ folder for either user.

I found the solution on MacOSXHints:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060912144151766
Summary: on the Summary tab, click Restore (will pop up a confirmation dialog), then Cancel, and the Update button then indicate version 1.0.1 for User 1. Then click Update. iTunes did the update, no muss, no fuss.

Common on jailbroken iPhones, not so on non-jailbroken iPhones. Thus, if your phone is not jailbroken, restoring from backup will hopefully fix the issue.

Documents that are park in FBV0 do not update with the new user name when

Hi,
I need to find out why documents that are park in FBV0 do not update with the new user name when any changes are made. Also when we park using MIR7 and make changes to the documents at a later time the document updates with the new users name.
Requesting you to please suggest what could be the reason.
Earliest reply will be highly appreciated,
With regards,

How can I fix the "This is not a test user account, please create a new account in the sandbox environment" error?

Hi there everyone,
Recently I tried to make an in-app purchase, I'm not sure whether the app is relevant or not but it was for Tapped Out, however, after trying to make the purchase I received an error message saying "Sign-In Required, tap continue to sign in to check for downloads [Environment: Sandbox]" so I followed the instructions and was then presented with another error message saying "This is not a test user account, please create a new account in the sandbox environment. [Environment: Sandbox]"
I have been doing a lot of research online trying to find a solution and so far nothing has worked for me, I have also been passing emails backwards and forwards between an Apple Customer Support colleague and are yet to find a working solution.
Here are a few pieces of information.
1. I am running iOS 6.1.3 on a 4th Gen iPod, it's relatively new, I got it for Christmas.
2. My iPod is not, and never has been Jail Broken.
3. I do not have a test account and have never tried to make my own apps.
4. I have tried signing out of my Apple ID, resetting my iPod's settings and signing in again.
5. I have tried resetting my Apple ID password
6. I have tried restoring my iPod to factory settings.
If anyone has another suggestion for something I could try it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Yep, I've been reading through other threads on lots of different sites over the last few hours and I can't seem to find a working solution, even though some seem to have worked for other people.
Most of them hadn't been updated in a while so I made my own post to see if anyone has anything new.

You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:

IPod touch users offered UK nationwide Wi-Fi with The Cloud

*Check this out:-*
http://www.thecloud.net/page/3653 (iPod touch users offered UK nationwide Wi-Fi with The Cloud)
Sounds quite cool & not too expensive either...
Extract:-
+Friday, 28 September 2007+
The Cloud today announced that it is giving Wi-Fi access to owners of Apple’s new iPod touch in thousands of hotspots across the UK. From Monday, users will be able to use their iPod touch to access the internet and Apple's online iTunes service in Wi-Fi hotspots provided by The Cloud.
The new Wi-Fi service, called Cloud Unlimited Music, will be available from Monday 1st October 2007 for £3.99 per month, specifically for iPod touch, and is not subject to any minimum term contract.
Owen Geddes, Group Director of Business Development at The Cloud, commented; “We believe this is a significant step forward in making music, podcasts and video available when, and wherever, people really want it. iPhone users will soon be able to make the most of our Wi-Fi network with O2 and The Cloud when the iPhone is introduced in November and we want to make sure people who have the Wi-Fi enabled iPod touch are able benefit from our network of over 7,500 hotspots too.”
iPod Touch users need to sign-up for the service at http://www.thecloud.co.uk/ipod , where they can register their individual device for use on The Cloud’s network across the UK and pay for the service. Once a user has registered their device, they are able to connect to any The Cloud Wi-Fi network without complicated usernames and passwords. The service is being introduced in the UK first and will become available in other European markets shortly.
The Cloud offers wireless broadband access at thousands of locations across Europe, including airports, hotels and railway stations throughout the UK, Germany, the Nordics and The Netherlands.
*Obviously, for future UK iPhone owners, such Wi-Fi service is gonna be "free" (included in monthly contract bill)... BUT for itouch owners, what do people think of this new service?*

It works outside pubs as well Not very far away - about the same as walking along the street and picking up signals from houses. Walked through Birmingham City Centre today (close to Bull Ring) having got my Touch out and watched a YouTube video walking along, moving from one hotspot to another - a bit stuttery as the signal dropped sometimes as TheCloud hot spots didn't overlap. But, at the pub, you are chatting to your mates and someone mentions something on YouTube so you whip out your Touch, press YouTube and everyone can have a look at it. Pretty smart.
I've been testing it out last few days and, now, it's all seamless. No log in, just have wifi switched on and if signal appears can just press safari, youtube or itunes and "boom" it works.

Is there a ipod touch user guide for ios 6

I am doing ths for my wife and me if and when I replace my ipod touch, we would like to know if there is a new user guide out yet?

Not yet. There probably will be by the time the 5th-generation iPod touch ships. If you're upgrading your current iPod, the iPhone manual might be of help since many of the features and settings will be the same, though not all:

How do I delete a User that does not appear in Users & Groups?

A leftover user (former employee account) that won't go away. Phantom User account becomes the default login account regardless of the new employee's login attempts. The phantom account Home folder appears in the Users folder at the root level, but not in the Users & Groups panel in System Preferences. I have logged in as tech admin and deleted the phantom User folder (while it is not the Home folder), but it comes right back again as soon as the new employee logs in as himself. ***???
I'd just updated this iMac to Yosemite, but this issue predates any specific OS update. Has persisted from 10.5 - 10.10. but is becoming an issue with permissions.
Any thoughts other than having to reinstall the OS from scratch? I was about to, but thought I'd see if anyone else has ever heard of this.....

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app
Right-click or control-click the selected text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* The Directory Utility application will launch.
In the application window, click the lock icon and authenticate. Select the Directory Editor tool in the toolbar. Select Users from the Viewing menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Locate the user you want to delete in the list and click the minus-sign icon at the bottom. Select Groups from the Viewing menu, and look for a group in the list with the same name as the user you just deleted. If found, delete. Quit Directory Utility.
Be very careful when editing the directory. Many hidden users and groups are present by default, and are needed for the normal operation of OS X. Never delete or modify a directory entry unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing. If in doubt, leave it alone.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
