Ipod says it needs restoring but restoring doesn't help.
One day my ipod stopped and a message came up saying i needed to restore it on the computer. However when I did this, it just displayed the message again.
By resetting the ipod and then pressing select and play when the logo shows, to put it into disk mode; I can upload music to the ipod again, however when i reset it to take it out of disk mode, it just displays the 'you must restore your ipod' message again.
I also tried changing the drive letter of the ipod on the computer but this did nothing. pleeeeeeeaaaaasssseeeeeeee help people! my white ipod is my baby!
Hi,
I would suggest u not go for that, try restoring the ipod in Disk mode. I mean take the ipod in disk mode and then connect it to the computer and restore the ipod. This step most of the time it works. If in case if this doesn't work. Check with your warranty. If not i would say go for refurbished ones which you get in the apple site. they give it for a good price and with a year warranty . This is the link try visiting this website. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod?mco=OTY2ODY2NQ

Itunes will not sync with Ipod saying it needs restored
I moved my library to an external harddrive but this caused a fall out with the Ipod. When I restored my library the Itunes constantly wants to restore the Ipod. I have restored the Ipod several times to the point that it is totally cleared but the Itunes still does not like it and wants it restored.
Any ideas?Hello Cobre,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning syncing:

Canon Pixma 880 says it needs paper but it doesn't. Won't print. Any ideas
I tried reloading the paper in the tray and tried using the other trays. No luck. Any ideas?
xHi SnowLizard,
On the screen of your printer, it should tell you exactly where to load to the paper (Load paper in the cassette; for example). Once you determine where the printer is trying to pull paper, check to ensure that the paper is loaded properly. Try a single sheet at first, then add about 10 sheets and try again.
If it still will not pull or detect the paper, then the printer may need to be serviced. Please feel free to Contact Us, we will be happy to explain your service options and assist you with this issue.

I have tried restoring an Ipod Nano 6th Generation but it seems to keep looping back and saying it is in recovery and needs restoring, can anyone help?
Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

How can I reset my Ipod's pass code, restoring doesn't reset anything and I still don't know my code?
Passcode for what?
Was the restore successful, that it did the iPod/iTunes go through all the steps without errors?
For screen-lock passcode:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For Restrictions passcode yo have to restore to factory settings/new iPod since restoring from a backup made when the iPod had the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode willaalso be restored. -
I have airport extreme and just purchased a D-Link DCS-932L home network camera. D-Link says I need UpNp but the extreme doesn't support this. Can I use port mapping? if so anyone know how to set that up? thanks
Since the D-Link DCS-932L is accessible on the local network via a web browser, you should be able to access this camera from the Internet if your router has a publically accessible Public IP address. If your ISP provides you with a dynamic Public IP address, you may want to use a DDNS service to make it easier for you to locate your camera whenever your ISP changes your IP address.
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).
Select Manual Setup.
Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
For Service, leave the default; this will change to "Custom" once you start entering port values.
In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your camera. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, enter the appropriate port values that should have been provided to you by the camera manufacturer. Click Continue.
In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "Internet Camera Access," and then, click Done.
Click on Update.
To connect to the shared Camera from a remote location using a Mac or PC:
Start your favorite web browser.
Enter either your Public IP address or DDNS-provided Domain Name, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 7 of the previous procedure. For example: http://123.123.123.123:8888 or http://www.mydtdnsdomainname.com:8888 -
I have a 4th generation ipod, beyond warranty. Symptoms were randomly moving fast through songs and shuffling. Did restore but it doesn't help. When I plug it into computer and try to put on songs after restoring, it say "disc cannot be read from or written to".
What is the next step for me?

Just recently my ipod nano 4th generation's battery seems to be messed up? I plug it into the charger and the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What is going on and how can I fix it? I'm really sad because it happened so suddenly.
Yes. The battery appears to be shot and in need of a replacement. This can either be done by Apple or a third party repair company.

You can Google "iPod battery replacement" for third party service centers.

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?
You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.

Hello,I have downloaded photos from my ipod touch following the instructions but it doesn't download videos.Can you help please?
doesn't download videos
I seen so many of these post for windows users.
Try my little "trick" (must be running iOS 4.3 or better)
Download the app "Download Manager Lite" (FREE) or "Download Manager" Full ($ 1.99 USD)
After downloading, transfer it to iTunes
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
After transferring, Go to your iDevice (on itunes), to the apps page, scroll down, you can add/save videos and/or files.
Click on "Add", find the folder of which your movies are being downloaded. Its much faster than syncing from itunes.
You can do the wi-fi transfer, the best part is that you don't have to be connected to the same wi-fi.
You will get 2 different URLs you need to type on your computer. Type the Web URL not the ftp URL. After that, you should have access to the app, without the need of itunes.
Click on Add, find the folder of where your movies are stored, faster than syncing with iTunes.
HOPE THIS HELPS. -
Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
YanHello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.
