IPod stolen. Advice on a replacement?

Just had my 60Gb Photo stolen out of my car.
Is it worth upgrading to a more recent version?
Are there any advantages in having the 5th Generation models?
Never been fussed about watching video so is it worth upgrading?
Need in excess of 30Gb, so does that rule the Nano out?
Will I have issues when I try to import all my 7,000 songs from iTunes? I seem to remember my original one used to repeatedly try to update and stop some way into completing the update.
Will I have any issues as I am using an older version of iTunes and don't want to risk updating?
Many thanks,

Thanks for that.
I'm not sure what the differences in price will be but I certainly would be interested in longer battery life.
In terms of a bigger hard drive, I suppose 80Gb might also be more handy for the future.
I am loathe to change my version of iTunes though unless someone can categorically guarantee me that it won't develop the glitches that have been reported...
I suppose it'll all depend on the price.
The problem is that when you've gone through a lot with an existing combination of iPod and iTunes, to pay good money to start all over again and be on here asking for solutions...

  • I got my ipod stolen how do i make it so no one is able to use it

    i got my ipod stolen and i needa make it so it cant be used

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Where can i get my ipod touch 5th generation screen replaced for, like, $50 to $60 dollars?

    where can i get my ipod touch 5th generation screen replaced for, like, $50 to $60 dollars? I broke it a few days ago and so far havent been able to find a place to repair it. Also,it would be best if the place was online, because live in a small town with virtually no places to get this done. If you could help that would be sooo amazing! Thank you!

    We can not advise you on getting unauthorized service for your iPod.
    Keep in mind that Apple does NOT sell parts
    The only possible sources for parts if you have it done by someone other than Apple are:
    Stolen parts
    Counterfeit parts
    Salvaged parts

  • My Macbook Pro was stolen, and I have replaced it with a Macbook Air. New hard drive is too small for a Time Machine restore. How do I restore my more-expensive apps (ie iWorks) on my new Macbook without repurchasing them?

    My Macbook Pro was recently stolen, and I have replaced it with a Macbook Air. I attempted to simply do a restore from the Macbook Pro's Time Machine backup, but since the new Macbook Air's hard drive is significantly smaller, a Time Machine restore was not possible. I even tried to choose only settings or only my User Profile (option) when restoring, but the backup was still too large to do a restore onto the new machine. How do I restore my more-expensive apps (ie iWorks) onto my new Macbook without repurchasing them? Also, I reaad somewhere that if you went to the Mac App Store and attempted to repurchase the app and clicked BUY, it would simply alert you that you have already purchased the app (and trigger a re-download)... NOT THE CASE... So I just dropped another $19.99 for a second copy of Pages... Not my intention....
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    you should get a usb backup drive as well.  time machine has limited use in my eyes. it saves things. but older things can be errased ad space drops without telling you
    nothing beats data redundancy.  2 saves is. 1.    and 1 is none
    im personally not fond of time machne though i use it only for a recovery parameter for a mac
    id never ever myself consider time machine a genuine data backup tool.  though most do consider it as such
    drive clones such as superduper and carbon copy cloner can clone your entire drive for emergency recovery.  and you can boot from them as well o. another mac

  • How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

    How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

    You can't do that with iTunes (except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer songs files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the songs files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can sync your iPod to that iTunes library, as desired.

  • So i had my ipod stolen and i backed up everythink on to my itunes before, i cant really afford another one and all i really want is the notes what i saved. is there a way to get to them???

    so i had my ipod stolen and i backed up everythink on to my itunes before, i cant really afford another one and all i really want is the notes what i saved. is there a way to get to them???

    No. If you had configured Find My Phone in icloud.com, then you can lock it or erase it, but you cannot recover data from it.
    There probably are third-party utilities that might be able to extract data from the backup file itself. Look for them at MacUpdate.

  • Top Five Reasons on how to not get your iPod Stolen In N.Y.C.

    Ok Im doing this because you constantly hear about ppl getting robbed for their iPods, well here's how not to.
    5. Keep Your iPod Out Of Sight!
    Listen to your Inner Voice if you feel Like someone's watching you Leave The iPod hidden.
    4. Keep the Volume at a normal Level!
    Listening To Loud Music is a sure fire way of getting stripped of your iPod, **** If you hear some one blasting Music in their ears it's a sign that they have a kind of portable Mp3 player, Cd players and cassette players volume doesn't go as loud as an iPod Does.
    3. Don't carry your iPod in Plain Sight!
    2. Save the Video's for other places!
    Watching the latest Video or Movie on your iPod on The Ferry ,A train, Bus or in a Train or Ferry Terminal is a sure way to end up with out your iPod.
    And the Number One reason on how to not get your iPod stolen In N.Y.C.
    1. Change the dayum Headphones you idiot!
    The Typical iPod Headphones are a dead give away that you have an iPod so What if you feel like you have "Status" Now that you have an iPod keep wearing the iPod headphones and your gonna lose that "Status" Symbol, I Use a Cheap brand of Headphones that sound better the the apple headphones and I travel to the City a Lot my iPod stays out of Sight and I don't have no problems with ppl trying to steal it.
    So now Who's Smarter?

    wooHoo! yes! common sense people.
    you know that anyone who's had their ipod stolen has done these things.
    as added protection I have long hair so I use a headset without a band. and you can't tell I'm using headphones.
    and aren't apple earbuds just awful.

  • I accidentally dropped by old ipod in the garage and drove over it.  So I bought an ipod nano 7th gen. to replace it.  Can I transfer the itunes from my old ipod to my new one?  I only have about 30.

    AAll of your iTunes purchases can be re-downloaded again. Log into iTunes Store, select the Purchases tab for Apps, Music, etc.
    if you've been syncing your old iPod with iTunes, you can restore everything to your new iPod from the old backup.

    Philly_Phan,I am curious whay you said "If there is no sign of abuse,", a broken screen is almost always caused by abuse/accidental damage, and that is what the out-of-warranty exchange is for.
    A broken screen is an accident but it is not abuse.  However, if the owner attempts a repair him/herself, that's abuse.  Although unrelated to the damage, if the device has been jailbroken, that's also abuse.

  • The stolen phone can be replaced by someone else

    Please, help me.
    My phone has stolen on 5/14/2013. I called apple technical support number(********) as soon as possible, and reported the situation(the case number is ********). Few days later, which is 5/17/2013, I dialed that number again and wanted to know how was going. And then, the supporter told me that someone took the stolen phone to go to one of the apple stores and replaced the stolen phone because that phone's mic had no sound.
    After the call, I go to the apple store with a policeman. But the stuff, who is the manager at that store, said that he didn't know why that man could replace the stolen phone and didn't have any responsibilities for the mistake. And then, this manager showed his rudeness, didn't even want to talk to us, me and the policeman. Because of the manager's noncooperation, the policeman can do nothing! No one can give me a reasonable explanation! The apple store's stuffs didn't even check the record if it's a stolen phone or not!
    I was wondering if the stolen phone can be replaced at a apple official store without any ownership proof. Don't the stuffs should check the phone's record first? I just want to take my phone back. If anyone has any suggestions, please . Thank you!
    <Edited by Host>

    Sorry to hear about your stolen iPhone but, you need to understand that Apple is not law enforcement, they will not try to retrieve a stolen Apple product.  Then will replace an Apple product if they determine that the workmanship was the cause of a problem with a device. That's a good thing for the general public.  I understand your issue that you would like Apple to help you retrieve your stolen iPhone, but that will not happen, that's law enforcement's job.  You should look at this as a learning experience, purchase another iPhone and make sure you keep a close eye on it at all times, they are a hot commodity!

  • For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

    For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

    8GB. Nice little unit when used by itself. BUT don't even think about connecting to any docks or other third party interfaces 'cause IT AIN"T GONNA WORK RIGHT!
    Both of my Pioneer car stereos have the same problem with both of my 6th generation iPod Nanos:
    The first time you connect the iPod, the radio recognizes the it and works. BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN THE RADIO ON THE DISPLAY FREEZES. The only way to get it working is to disconnect the dock connector from the iPod and reconnect it. THIS ***** AND IS NOT THE WAY THESE UNITS BEHAVED WITH MY 1ST GENERATION NANO. Both of my new 6th generation ipods have been restored (several times) and have the latest firmware which, as of this writing is 1.2 and still the problem persists.
    My two Pioneer car stereos that don't work right with the iPod Nano 6th generation:
    Pioneer DEH-P4900iB
    CD-i200 iPod cable for above
    Scion XB iPod enabled head unit T1808
    I've made an AppleCare adviser aware of the problem but I doubt that this information will ever make it to engineering so I don't have much hope that this will ever be fixed.
    I would suggest that all 6th generation Nano users check it's compatibility with any third party interfaces they have and report their findings on this discussion board. Perhaps we can get Apple to FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.
    Apple are you listening??

  • Old ipod stolen, new one won't sync

    a few months ago i got my ipod stolen, & now itunes won't let me transfer the music that i already had on itunes onto my new ipod. & every time i unplug my new ipod, then plug it back in it makes me register it again. do i need to reinstall itunes? help pleassee =]

    What is the exact error iTunes is giving you?  What happens if you do a restore of the device? This will wipe all data from the iPod and reset it to factory settings as well as load a fresh copy of the iPod's firmware onto the device. This should help rule out any sort of software issues/glitches with the iPod.
