*my ipod skips on occasional tracks and its getting frustrating now*
Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
Troubleshooting songs that skip on iPod
iPod: Troubleshooting songs and audiobooks that won't play
iPod does not play content purchased from the iTunes Music Store
*is there any way of transferring my music on my ipod to a cd to preseve it?*
If you have songs on the iPod that aren't on the computer you need to copy them back to iTunes to back them up to CD or DVD. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

Just bought an ipod 5, Should i return it?

I bought the ipod touch 5, blak, 64gb yesterday and i put all my apps music in it what not

should return the ipod 5 then?

If you get error message that can't contact the activationserverr try the following. They are for the update sever but may work for activation server.
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem The follow repots no Apple problem

What should i do if my ipod touch 4 gen. has a white screen and it goes away rarely. Should i return it and get a new one

What should i do if my ipod touch 4 gen. has a white screen and it goes away rarely. Should i return it and get a new one?

If the problem persits after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem. In that case an appointment at the Genius Bar of an apple store or returing it to Apple is in order.

Ipod skipping to the BEGINNING of a song

Hey i bought my ipod classic 120gb about 11 months ago and sometimes it skipps to the beginning of the song i'm listening to as if i would press backwards. I usually have my ipod in a case in my pocket so it can't be me accidentally pressing any button!!! I think it doesn't have to do with particular songs, because it's always a different song and in the beginning, at the end or anywhere in the middle of the song. What i realized is, that when the ipod skips back to the beginning of the song i'm often accidentally pulling on the earphone cable. For example if im standing up or moving while sitting (like today), but it also happened while i was standing at a bus stop. Did anybody ever have the same problem or knows how to solve it? I'm grateful for any help!!! (my warranty runs out in a month and i need to know if i should send my ipod in quickly!)

Mmmmmm. Works OK for me. I've tried every variation I can think of. Play from playlist, play from library, shuffle on, shuffle off, single song repeat on/off, playlist repeat on/off.
WAIT !! Now I've found it !! It happens when I have the sidebar hidden and play a playlist from the PLAYLIST pane. Hitting Enter then takes me to the FIRST song in the playlist.
WAIT AGAIN !!! In the time it took to write the above, it changed again and works properly. Well properly is not really true. It works if I stay in the PLAYLIST pane. If I switch to the SONGS, ALBUMS or ARTISTS pane, enter does nothing. BUT, if I switch to the GENRES pane, enter starts the first song there. AND, if I've switched away from the PLAYLIST pane and switch back, enter then starts the first song in the playlist.
WOW !! That was a crazy ride. I think we can safely say that there is something awry.

IPod skipping on 3G iPhone

Is anyone else having problems with their ipod skipping on their 3G phone? Some time ago I saw a couple of similar posts and theirs, like mine, happened in the gym. It sounds like an old CD player skipping all around. The problem is, I only walk on the treadmill, so this could happen anywhere. Still, it should not happen even if you are running hard on a treadmill. Mine skips from a podcast to music and then to other music and then back to a different podcast, staying in one place for only a couple of seconds. Most days it works fine, but this is frustrating. Has anyone else encountered this?

I've never had this happen, but the manual suggests restart,reset for most issues:
"If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting,” on
page 132."

How much does IPOD skip with movement?

Hi, I am hoping to get some feedback on this, I want to buy a regular IPOD (my Nano screen cracked). Apparently it is much more durable. But I never did buy one because I am afraid of it skipping.
Do the regular IPODS skip while running? (I run for an hour)
Would a regular IPOD skip while doing housework? (Vacuuming, cleaning bathtub eg: bending over etc) I do that for hours at a time.
Would it skip while on an elliptical training machine? I do it for an hour but it is not high impact.
Finally, the salesmen at the stroe where I bought my Nano said that with a regular IPD, I could keep it in my back pocket or purse without fear of breaking it. Is that true? Is is generally rugged? Can you sit down with it in your back pocket? If you drop it accidentally, say on pavement, would it be ok?
thank you very much.

non-hard drive based iPods (video iPod, nano, shuffle) will not skip since there is no hard drive inside to worry about
all hard drive based iPods (mini, photo iPod, U2 iPod, etc) will skip is shaken semi violently
you DO NOT want to place any ipod (except the original ones) in a front or rear pants/slacks pocket since as soon as you sit down, there is alot of crease there and you will break some ipods, plus you never ever want to put one in your back pocket as you are just inviting trouble....
as for dropping it... well, it may it may not break - it depends on the height it is dropped from, the surface it hits, etc. under normal wear and tear, it should be fine, but.........

Should I return my MacBook Air to upgrade to a MacBoook Pro?

I recently bought a MacBook Air with 4 GB of ram, 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB for $850. However, I today found a refurbished MacBook Pro for sale with 8 GB of ram, 2.6 GHz intel Core i5 processor, and intel iris graphics for $1099. Should I return my MBA and buy the MBP for the $250 more? Is the faster RAM, processing speeds, and graphics worth $250? I often play league of legends but other than that I only use my laptop lightly, Microsoft and some web browsing.

If the MBP has the Retina display, then it is definitely worth it. The 13" MBP is not that much bigger than the Air. And the 4GB RAM in the Air will not be enough if you plan on keeping it for 3-4 years.
I too wanted the Air because of form factor but I settled on the 13" MBP. The Retina display and the 8GB of RAM make a pretty noticeable difference.

When I try to play music on my iPod touch it automatically returns to the artists screen. Does anyone know how to resolve this..?

When I try to play music on my iPod touch it immediately returns to the artists screen. Can anyone help?

- First try a reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Next would be a restore. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factoruy defaults/new iPod.

Ipod skips only with songs purchased from ITunes

My Ipod skips with a handfull of songs that I purchased from ITunes. They play fine on my laptop, but my Ipod wont play the entire song. Some play for 2 minutes others play for 20 seconds. I can't get anywhere with help topics, and I went through the whole 3 R's list twice. HELP!! Thanks

Did you try carving a pentagram into the ground, filing it with gasoline, lighting it on fire, placing the ipod inside the pentagram, and then dancing around it naked while howling at the moon yet ?
I supose its possible that there were internet interuptions during the download of theese songs. Most computer soundcards have technology that eliminates skips by... skipiing the skips. If you have a problem like Goldwave (freeware), you can open the file and zoom in to look at the wav. If there are little holes, you can delete them and it will be seemless. This is something I have done in the past, but likely isn't your issue.
Sorry I cant offer a more definative answer.

After updating my Ipod with IOS 5, some of my music no longer plays. Album cover is shown, but the IPod skips to the next song. Any ideas why?

Should I return my new MacBook Pro? Creative Suite CS and CS2 do not work?

I am soooooooooooooooo ******!!!!!!!!
I just purched the top of the line MacBook Pro and learned that the Adobe Creative Suite products do not work on this machine. I contacted Adobe and they said they will not have an update until they release the next version, which won't release until (at the earlies) the end of this year. While Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign are not crucial aps for me, I do use them for business regularly.
With this being the case, I ask the mac community using these machines, should I return the computer, buy a g4pb (my TI just literally fell apart) ? Reading the board hear and various news articles, there seems to be a few issues (whine - apps - etc).
I guess I should have looked into this more before purchasing, but I trusted Apple to release products that are ready for users.
This is the most expensive computer I have ever puchased and I need it to do everything my TI PB did.
Is the MacBook Pro worth the early adopter hastle?

According to Adobe:
Creative Suite 2 will work on Rosetta with the exception of one componet. Version Cue Workspace (Server) does not work under Rosetta. As of Jan 31 2006 this was the only known issue with using the suite on Intel Mac's.
Adobe Systems
Creative Suite: Yes (with performance losses)
Photoshop Elements: Yes
(Adobe has posted "FAQ: Adobe Support for Intel-based Mac Computers" [intelmacsupport.pdf]
http://www.adobe.com/products/pdfs/intelmacsupport.pdf , which discusses Intel support, development, Rosetta compatibility, rough schedules, and more for Mac applications from Adobe and Macromedia.)
I would recommend that if you are going to use this program that you have 2 GB's of RAM seeing as I hear that Rosetta can be a RAM hog. Hope this helps you out.

What iPod settings should be checked to automatically sync

Hello,
At iTunes what iPod settings should be checked to have iTunes automatically add the latest songs. I played around with them that I can't remember how they were before I messed with them. To be clearer - I mean where you can see that long status bar that tells you how full your iPod is and there are 4 boxes to checked or not checked.
Thank you,
Nick M.

Thank you for your reply,
Yes, that's the section - what I want to know is which of the 4 boxes there should be checked in the Options section for normal operation?
Right now I have checked:
Open iTunes when this iPod is attached
Sync only checked songs
(unchecked Manually manage music)
Enable disk use
With these settings I have to now eject the iPod after syncing.
I know this isn't a major problem - still, it would be nice to solve it.
Thank you,
Nick M.
