I've had this from new for 2 years, the battery life is excellent and lasts for days so I know it's not a power issue as it was fully charged that morning. No signs of connection in itunes, it's not showing as a connected device.
Can anyone please help?

You need to add a valid payment method to your account. Purchasing and redeeming an iTunes gift card will work

PLEASE HELP! My Ipod touch will not play anything from or in itunes.

I don't know what to do. For the first 4 months everything was great then all of a sudden my Ipod would no longer play anything from or in itunes. I can not transfer anything from itunes to it either. It looks like it has been transferred on the ipod and in itunes under my device but it will not play anything. I can download directly into the ipod and its fine. I listen to audio books from library sites as well as buy them but now it does not work unless it can go directly in the ipod which library sites need to come from your computer and them be transferred after its downloaded. Can anyone help me? I even have a brand new ipod thinking it was the other one but its not. I have windows 7 64 bit. Also I have uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing changes. Thank you.

- Try resetting the iPod. 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 restore from backup
- Last, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Stop and play buttons...

How would I go about adding stop and play buttons to a slideshow?
stop1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stop1);
play1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, play1);
function stop1(event:MouseEvent){
if(this.currentFrame == 1)
{ gotoAndStop(this.totalFrames);
function play1(event:MouseEvent){
if(this.currentFrame == 1)
{ gotoAndStop(this.totalFrames);

well idk if the code is even right i need help? The way the slide show is working is i have it on the timeline.... With this code it doesnt play automatically and when i push play it goes through them in like 2 seconds and you can't see anything?
stop1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopSlide);
play1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSlide);
function stopSlide(event:MouseEvent):void {
stop();
function playSlide(event:MouseEvent):void {
play();

The spinning colored wheel wont stop and my word is open so i do not want to lose my paper

The spinning colored wheel wont stop and my word is open so i do not want to lose my paper. What do I do wihtout having to cut my computer off

Sbmills,
will it allow you to copy the text of your paper, paste it into TextEdit, and save it as a text document? You’d lose the formatting, but you’d still have the text.

How do I get my music to quit scrolling and stop and play a song?

How do I get my music to quit scrolling and stop and play a song?

Basically it means that the files are not on the location where iTunes is expecting to be.
What you can do is remove those songs from you playlist, then try to locate them on your harddisk again, and then in iTunes you can choose file > Add folder to Library... , specify the location where you found them and they will be added again.

Podcasts stops and plays a previous one

In my itunes (latest update), my podcasts randomly stop and played the previous episode. This patterns seems random as well. I don't download podcasts, but stream them (right click, play). However, when I download the podcast and play it, its fine. But I would rather stream it.
Also, my internet is fine. I am on blazing fast university internet.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

delete off any apps that are asking for the wrong apple id and download/sync them over from the correct one

HT1414 my ipod wont charge and i have used different chargers for it is it possible to reset it while its dead?

my ipod wont charge and i have used different chargers for it is it possible to reset it while its dead?

I do not know what you mean by charger. Cable?
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT1725 I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song. I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Some songs starts on my iPod, then stop and start from the begining and play all the way through

Hey,
While listening to songs on my iPod Classic 120gb, some songs will start to play, after 2-3 seconds, stop and start again from the beginning and play through the entire song no problems. On iTunes the songs still plays fine no stopping or starting. All songs are random artists and songs.
Help! its really frustrating!

Hey andy8299,
Do you have any other music software (i.e Limewire) installed? If so perhaps these files are not compatible.
See this for compatible song formats:

Ipod Wont stop Resetting

I think I wrongly disconnected my new 60Gb Gen 5. It wont stop resetting itself every 5 seconds, I tried many times resetting it by pressing Menu,center button for a few secs. Please help! I did try reinstalling Itunes as well, it wont recognize the never-stop resetting Ipod.

Sounds like the ipods software got corrupt. Reset it and TRY to set it into "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Since its reseting itself over and over it might be alittle hard, but just wait til you see the unlighted apple logo and QUICKLY hit and hold Center and play/pause like the link I've posted says.
If you get it in disk mode, you need to restore it with ipod updater 06-28-2006. If you do not have this ipod updater it can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Restore will wipe the ipod clean, and they suggest anything thats not on the PC you try to get off the ipod and onto the PC before restoring. Being the ipod is resetting over and over I doubt you can get anything off it, Put if you want to try post back BEFORE restoring the ipod
