  • HT1296 My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't need it for much more than games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update the Ipod 3.1.3 or is it too old? Thanks!

    My daughter has an Ipod touch 3.1.3. I know it's old but she doesn't use it for anything except games and music. Does anyone know how or if I can update this device or is it just too old?
    THanks!

    A first generation iPod touch can't be updated past 3.1.3. If it's a newer model, update it from iTunes on a computer, and if possible, the one it normally syncs with.

  • Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes

    Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes tried to check usb driver but computer says it is working properly

    Just disconnecting it without ejecting should not cause permanent damage.  It may cause data corruption, if iTunes was in the process of syncing at the time.  But iTunes should still see the shuffle and (maybe) tell you to Restore it.
    Is it possible that the "accident" damaged the USB cable? 
    Make sure you have done this on the shuffle since the problem occurred

    And you should also shut down (power off) the computer, if you have not already.
    Have you tried more than one USB port on the computer (not a hub if you use one)?  You can also try it with all other USB devices disconnected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).
    If those things do not help, what version of Windows do you use?

  • Have an ipod shuffle (about 3-4yrs old)- is it possible that it will no longer hold a charge? When connected to my PC to charge it, the light blinks yellow. I took it in to a local Apple repair shop- the gentleman charged it for me

    Have an ipod shuffle (about 3-4yrs old)- is it possible that it will no longer hold a charge? When I put in on my PC the yellow light flashes. I took it to an Apple repair store on Monday and the gentleman there charged it for me...and it fully charged. On wednesday I turned it on- no green light...
    He said the yellow light should not be blinking when charging...what am I doing wrong???

  • Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help.

    Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help. Can someone give me some direction ?

    OK so yes, but if, and only if:
    (1) your MacBook has a Firewire port (not all do)
        - and -
    (2) your old external iSight camera works (not all do)
        - and -
    (3) your MacBook is working properly.
    If you are not certain whether your MacBook model has Firewire, you can search MacBook Technical Specifications for your model.  Alternatively, check the  User Guide Manual that came with your MacBook for the information you need to be certain.
    If you are not certain that your old external iSight camera works, you can test it using the suggestions in this link.
    jpatricio787 wrote: ... if so how do I go about it ? ...
    Follow the instructions in your iSight User's Guide to connect and turn on the iSight.  Then launch the Apple app you want to use with your iSight.  If you need more information about using an app, search for "camera" (without the quote marks) in the Help menu choice for the app.

    If you need more direction, post back the specifics of what you still need.  We will offer further direction based on the details of your reply.

    We need more information. I'm not sure what you mean by both Lion and iCloud have never worked.

  • I am un able to send mail as it gets stuck in my outbox. I am sure the solution is simple but need help?

    I am un able to send mail as it gets stuck in my outbox. This is a recent phenomena. I am sure the solution is simple but need help?

    I looked everywhere for a solution - and I finally figured it out! Deleting my accounts didn't work, but here is what worked. This worked when my Gmail accounts were not sending properly. I'm not sure if it works for other e-mail services.
    1. While in Mac Mail, click "Mail" in the top left corner of the screen
    2. Click "Preferences"
    3. Click "Accounts"
    4. Select your account that isn't sending properly
    5. In "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" there will be two options - Gmail & Gmail (offline)
    Make sure that "Gmail" is selected and NOT "Gmail (offline)"
    If you navigate to another section in Preferences, it will ask you to SAVE - make sure you save your changes!
    It worked for me, hope it works for you!

  • Purchasing MBA but need help on upgrades.

    Hello, I am purchasing an MBA, but need help on upgrades based on the following; I will be attending medical school in the fall, I take a wide range of photos of my family on my iPhone that I play with on certain apps and do store them in the cloud and computer, I have a medium iTunes libaray but will get bigger with the additional apps for school, I am a moderate gamer (I play games online as well as my kids do, but nothing that will take up a ton of space when downloaded like Assassins Creed) and I plan on running MS Office. I've already decided to upgrade to the 8GB but I can't decide if I should upgrade to the 512GB Flash or stay with the 256GB and upgrade from the i5 to i7 or stick with it. I don't plan on buying another until I graduate. I am new to the Mac World outside of the use of my iPhone which convience me to convert from my awful PC. Can you MBA experts relay some advice on a good route. I appreciate it, Thanks

    My rule of thumb is to buy the largest drive storage available. Especially since the Air models can't be upgraded to a larger size in the future. I also like to buy the most amount of RAM offer and as with the storage space on the Air models can't be upgraded once purchased. So Bite the Bullet and spend the money to get both the most RAM and the largest storage offered as neither can be increased later on.  Also I suggest you spend the extra money on the Applecare extended warranty because to fix any Mac once the standard warranty is over is very expensive. You have until the one year standard warranty runs out to buy the Applecare extended warranty.

  • All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW.  This is for all of my photos.  I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so it goes to Default. thanks

    Go to the develop module and highlight all of the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. Then activate Auto-sync and click on the Reset button. That should reset all of the images to your camera default settings.

  • I would like to add music from my Ipod shuffle to my new computer but my old computer is broken and cannot access it anymore

    I would like to sync my ipod shuffle to my new laptop, however I do not have access to my old computer so I do not have access to the old itunes library. My ipod is charged music on it and I have it plugged into the usb cord which is plugged into my computer's usb port. I downloaded the latest version of itunes but do I have to register first? can anyone help me?

    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download previous purchases from the iTunes Store Purchased screen).
    However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can be used to transfer song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your new computer's hard drive, drag them (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window, to add them to the iTunes library.

  • I have now got a ipod shuffle as well as my ipod video but need help

    Hi there I already had a ipod video and have it all set up so that when i plug my video ipod itunes updates. But now i have a ipod shuffle and am confused how to make it work properly with itunes. Itunes has 30gig woorth of music which is for my video ipod. My new shuffle only has 512meg space. So when I want to add new songs without messing up my ipod video stuff. Please can someone help me sort this out. I want itunes to continue updating my video ipod but i only want to choose a few albums to go on ipod shuffle. How do I do this.

    The shuffle acts a LOT differently than your video iPod.
    I have mine set up to stay in the iTunes source list. I manually drag songs over to it.

  • IPOD SHUFFLE PLUGGED INTO USB HUB BUT NOT BEING READ

    I recently got a 4 port USB hub because I needed extra usb ports. I mainly use the hub to connect my flash drive, external hard drive and my IPOD shuffle, but the only thing that isn't getting read by the computer is the shuffle. Everything else that is conncected to the hub is being read by windows. The shuffle just sits there, when plugged into the hub, blinking a green light (which doesn't look normal). The hub itself is a 2.0 hub. HELP!

    I had the same problem. FIRST, I had to remove the software that came with the original ipod shuffle. 2005/06/26, and replace it with the older version 2005/01/11 that I found on this site: http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/220012/apple-ipod-ipod-mini-ipod-photo-ipod-sh uffle-software-updater-2005-01-11-windows-2000-xp-free-download.html
    Once in a while it still doesn't recognize the ipod, but I think that's a usb port problem. Unplug it and plug it in again and it should be fine. Just make sure you remove the original software first in the add/remove programs section!
    Also, if Mac is so good (according to some people on this site), why did Mac start using the Windows XP software and not vice-versa!!! haha
    Good Luck!!!
