IPOD sync problems - are the new ones just as crappy?
Like everyone who uses an IPOD shuffle on a Windows computer, I constantly experience sync problems with the IPOD either not recognized or recognized as a different USB device. Constant plugging and unplugging into different USB ports usually solves the problem but what a freaking headache!
I'm thinking of getting a new music player and I want to know if the newer IPOD's (nano, shuffle, etc.) are as crappy with regard to USB port recognition and syncing as the 2nd generation shuffle?
You are obviously extremely dedicated. Just how long did it take you to talk to 30 or 40 million iPod Shuffle users and find out all of them had these issues?
Actually my guess would be your computer has an issue. I am assuming you are using a desktop computer? If this is true make sure you are using the full power USB ports in the rear of your computer.
Misidentification of your iPod would indicate a drive assignment problem, a problem that has been an issue since Windows was released. Make sure that all of the drivers for your other USB devices are current. If necessary use Device Manager and manually change the drive letter on the iPod.

When I Trade My Cracked iPod for a New One, Will the Information From the Cracked iPod Be Transferred to the New One?
That is done through iTunes. If everything on your cracked iPod is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod the same way.
If there is content on the cracked iPod that is not in your iTunes library, that content will be lost, unless you transfer its content to your computer before the "trade in." Content that you purchased from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded at no cost, using the Purchased screen in the iTunes Store. -
My MacBook Pro died, but have a TimeMachine backup. I've bought a new one. How do I make the new one just like the old without affecting the OS on the new one?

One you start up the new one for the first time, Setup Assistant starts and offers you the option of migrating your old Mac to your new Mac with Time Machine, among other choices, as the source. You can also use Migration Assistant (in the Utilities Folder) to do the same thing. -

Are the old iPods more efficient that the new ones?
It seemes to me that the old ones are more secure because they aren't "touched" by the "latest technology"...instead the new ones are full of high-tech improvmens that make them more unstable.

If that doesn't clear it up, post back with the following:
How much data is on your Mac?
How large is your Time Capsule?
Is anything else on your TC, besides these backups? If so, what, and how large? -
I want to sync my phone with my lap top. I can't remember my user name, I've requested my user name several times, I've received nothing from firefox. I'm getting frustrated with your service. I set up a Firefox Sync account a while ago. Please help.
Sync no longer uses a username, it is just your e-mail. Please use [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]] to upgrade to the new version of Sync

Can i exchange my ipod touch 4g for the new one?
Hello,
I want to change my old ipod touch 4g for the ipod touch 5g, and i just want it to know if the apple can exchange it?
ThanksWas this at an Apple store?
Apple don't provide a service like this.
If it was an Apple store they may have meant you can trade it in for 10% off a new model. This is all though.
Sorry -
I want to remove both of the two Sync accounts from my device's system settings.
I'm using a kitkat based ROM: CM11 on a Samsung S2.
Thanks.Thanks. This is what I tried before asking here, but now it worked because I removed the deprecated account first. Then, after a couple of crashes by the Exchange Service, both the profiles are gone. After all, CM11 are nightlies. :)

Are the newer Macbook's Better?
Ok, so it's obvious that the older Macbooks had problems with the shut down thing. Are the new ones better? Also, are there other problems I need to worry about? I'm thinking about getting one.
I have been considering buying a Macbook Pro/Macbook for several months now. I have done extensive reading on this site and several trusted mac sites. In addition I've visited Apple stores several times at bi-weekly/monthly intervals to talk to sales people and look at the laptops myself.
The majority (if not all) major issues have been fixed. Getting a new machine really shouldnt be a problem. The internet and this support forum in particular really make the extensiveness of the problems seem worse than they are.
I say go for it. I ordered mine last week. -
If i order a macbook air today (June 11) will it be the new one?
If i order a macbook air today (June 11) will it be the new one?
Yes, you will be be ordering the one you are looking at on-line. I assume all four configurations of the Macbook Air available on the Apple on-line store are the new ones.

I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes. Any solutions?
The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device. Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up. It keeps syncing to the old library...

Just sent in my daughter's Ipod touch 5th generation to be fixed.....They sent me a new one. Is there any way to get the contents of her old one onto the new one? I synced the old one with Itunes before I sent it in and backed it up on my computer.
Sure, as soon as you open iTunes with the new iPod connected, it will have a "Welcome to your New iPod" screen. Just choose Restore from backup.
