IPod works, just doesn't allow video

My iPod works and everything. I recently got it 'restored' to original settings, and when i try to drag a video file over to the iPod icon it says
"Some of the songs in the iTunes music library, including the song "insert song here", were not copied to the iPod"insert iPod name here" because they cann't be played on this iPod.
It recognizes i have a fifth gen iPod that has video capability, i think. It at least shows a fat iPod icon for the iPod on the left window of iTunes.
any ideas? thanks

Old ipod shuffle, just doesn't work, is there anything I can do to get it to work?

I have a really old ipod shuffle, like the first one they came out with and I was wondering if there is a way to get it to work. It stopped working a while ago and my son wants one so I thought this would be a great first one for him. If I can get it to work! Please help me!!!

Either way, at best it's likely that the battery is shot and in need or replacement. Sorry.

My 3G stopped working and doesn't allow me to go on Instagram/Facebook/ect. what's the problem? How do I fix it?

My 3G stopped working a while ago and it is starting to annoy me. My iPhone won't let me go on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter. Is there any way to fix this? Do I have to call the company? Or what?

Hi Bunnyfoofoow,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend trying these troubleshooting steps if the cellular data connection on your iPhone is not working:
Follow the instructions below for assistance with troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
Restart your iPhone.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPhone as new.
Contact your carrier to:
Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.

My iPod works, but doesn't play any songs

Here's a list of what it does do:
1) It can connect fine.
2) It can be imported with songs, files, etc...
3) It can be operated just as any other iPod
Here's what it can't do:
1) It can't play any of the songs that I have imported into it, when I try to play a song, it freezes, I can hear the hard drive moving and if I fast forward I can catch parts of the songs (sometimes), but aside from that there's no music playback.
If you have a resolution for this, please do post, and thanks-a-million in advance

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.

BRCM80211 works, but doesn't allow connections

So I have recently found that the brcm80211 driver works for my netbook. I have installed it and it is able to find my wireless network. However, it refused to connect. It's a WEP password, not WPA, so it shouldn't be a problem, but it is. I am absolutely, positively sure the essid and the password are correct, as I have meticulously entered them over and over again. My windows PC also uses the password successfully. Before this I used broadcom-wl which had the same issue.
has anyone had the problem of their card not confectioning to their network and was able to fix the issue?

It turns out that I misread the manpage. The '@' after the permissions doesn't mean soft link, but rather extended attributes. Using 'ls -lO' I could see that a "hidden" extended attribute had been added, which I was then able to remove by logging in as administrator, and typing 'sudo chflags nohidden Data', in the specific case of my Data drive.

IPod worked fine, sync'd fine, apps functioned BEFORE iTunes 8.2.1.6 update

I got a new iPod Touch in March...16gb 2G. I have Windows XP. Everything's been working fine up until the last two iTunes updates. The new 8 has yielded the worst problems.
I've noticed PRIOR to iTunes 8 that my downloaded apps stopped working. The factory apps still work however (mail, clock, safari, etc)
A Month or so ago, I started noticing when i plugged it into the computer it shows up as a camera in XP. Read that wasn't a big concern. It didn't start doing that in the beginning though, just recently.
Now that I have iTunes 8, the iPod will NOT sync to iTunes. When I plug it in, iTunes won't turn on automatically (its set up to) and once it is open, my iPod won't show up in my devices.
I've checked the following:
USB port (they all work fine)
The cable (ipod shows up as camera on My Computer so I know the cable works)
The iPod charges, just doesn't sync in iTunes
I've run the diagnostics in iTunes and it says no iPod is connected when it IS.
Cliffs:
ipod won't mount/sync in the new iTunes 8. Worked fine prior to update.
Now the downloaded apps I have won't work either.
It also wouldn't let me download the latest ipod update either.
How do I fix this issue? I've seen other similar issues posted but mine only resulted after updating iTunes. Now it won't sync to even update it.
I'm reluctant to reset the iPod in case it still won't be recognized in iTunes.
HELP!

tried suggested article and it worked for me....
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
be sure to delete and restart as frequently as it suggests.
Be sure to go to C: application data, local data, program files, etc and control panel and erase any and every thing to do with iTunes, Apple and mobile devices....restart restart restart.
When i reinstalled itunes again, this time it installed differently....as if brand new. Once I plugged ipod back in, it mounted immediately and all my playlists and library data was still there despite "erasing/deleting" everything. Whatever, it works, so I'm happy.

Problem with Dock Connector, Ipod Charges but doesn't play sounds

We have two Ipod Touch 3rd generation at home. We recently bought a stereo with a dock to play music from our iTouch.
One of the Ipods works just fine with it, but the other will only charge and not play music. When I try to see my output options I can only select Ipoud Touch or Apple TV. When I am playing music with the working Ipod I can choose between Dock Connector and Apple TV.
I have already tried hard reset but nothing has changed.
Any suggestions? I would REALLy appreciate your help.
Thanks!

- Do they both have the same iOS? The latest is 5.1?
- Look at the dock connectors for both units and compare them., Loof for bent, missing or corroded contacts and other abnormalities.
- Tey the following with the non-working one:
- Reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
-Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Is there a way to fix an iPod touch 4G home button that isn't stuck but just doesn't work?

A couple weeks ago my home button got stuck. To fix it I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfhCmq9VkA&list=WL429346A18D0B1E65 to help me out. The second option of using the charger ended up working, thus making the button work again. It was working fine after doing that but then it got stuck down again and I had to put the charger in and do that again. However, all of a sudden the home button just doesn't work anymore. It's not even stuck all the way down. I can press it repeatedly but still nothing.
I've had the iPod for about 6 months now and got it off of amazon refurbished so warranty is out of the question i'm sure. If it really is broken with no way to fix it then that's fine as i've been using assitive touch for weeks now and am used to it since i've been using it egulary since there's no other way. I just wanted to ask and make sure first before anything else though.

Time Machine Just Doesn't Work Anymore

I was a happy Time Machine (with Time Capsule) user for months. But it just doesn't work anymore. It takes longer than an hour to do every hourly backup so it is backing up 24 hours a day. It finds hundreds of thousands of files changed every hour and tries to back them up. Finders says only tens of files have been modified all of today. I have tried rebuilding my spotlight indexes, repairing my Time Capsule with Disk Utility and starting over with a brand new backup. But it just backs up hundreds of thousands of files every hour. So I am turning off Time capsule since it is clearly broken. If anyone has any suggestions at all I would welcome them.

Marcia,
Consider the following, it might give you some ideas:
Time Machine performs backups at the file level. If a single bit in a large file is changed, the WHOLE file is backed up again. This is a problem for programs that save data to monolithic virtual disk files that are modified frequently. These include Parallels, VMware Fusion, Aperture vaults, or the databases that Entourage and Thunderbird create. These should be excluded from backup using the Time Machine Preference Exclusion list. You will, however, need to backup these files manually to another external disk.
One poster observed regarding Photoshop: “If you find yourself working with large files, you may discover that TM is suddenly backing up your scratch disk's temp files. This is useless, find out how to exclude these (I'm not actually sure here). Alternatively, turn off TM whilst you work in Photoshop.” (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1209412)
If you do a lot of movie editing, unless these files are excluded, expect Time Machine to treat revised versions of a single movie as entirely new files.
If you frequently download software or video files that you only expect to keep for a short time, consider excluding the folder these are stored in from Time Machine backups.
If you have recently created a new disk image or burned a DVD, Time Machine will target these files for backup unless they are deleted or excluded from backup.
Installing new software, upgrading existing software, or updating Mac OS X system software can created major changes in the structure of your directories. Time Machine will backup every file that has changed since the installation.
Files or folders that are simply moved or renamed are counted as NEW files or folders. If you rename any file or folder, Time Machine will back up the ENTIRE file or folder again no matter how big or small it is.
George Schreyer describes this behavior: “If you should want to do some massive rearrangement of your disk, Time Machine will interpret the rearranged files as new files and back them up again in their new locations. Just renaming a folder will cause this to happen. This is OK if you've got lots of room on your backup disk. Eventually, Time Machine will thin those backups and the space consumed will be recovered. However, if you really want recover the space in the backup volume immediately, you can. To do this, bring a Finder window to the front and then click the Time Machine icon on the dock. This will activate the Time Machine user interface. Navigate back in time to where the old stuff exists and select it. Then pull down the "action" menu (the gear thing) and select "delete all backups" and the older stuff vanishes.” (http://www.girr.org/mac_stuff/backups.html)
*TechTool Pro Directory Protection*
This disk utility feature creates backup copies of your system directories. Obviously these directories are changing all the time. So, depending on how it is configured, these backup files will be changing as well which is interpreted by Time Machine as new data to backup. Excluding the folder these backups are stored in will eliminate this effect.
*Backups WAY Too Large*
If an initial full backup or subsequent incremental backup is tens or hundreds of Gigs larger than expected, check to see that all unwanted external hard disks are still excluded from Time Machine backups.
This includes the Time Machine backup drive ITSELF. Normally, Time Machine is set to exclude itself by default. But on rare occasions it can forget. When your backup begins, Time Machine mounts the backup on your desktop. (For Time Capsule users it appears as a white drive icon labeled something like “Backup of (your computer)”.) If, while it is mounted, it does not show up in the Time Machine Prefs “Do not back up” list, then Time Machine will attempt to back ITSELF up. If it is not listed while the drive is mounted, then you need to add it to the list.
*FileVault / Boot Camp / iDisk Syncing*
Note: Leopard has changed the way it deals with FileVault disk images, so it is not necessary to exclude your Home folder if you have FileVault activated. Additionally, Time Machine ignores Boot Camp partitions as the manner in which they are formatted is incompatible. Finally, if you have your iDisk Synced to your desktop, it is not necessary to exclude the disk image file it creates as that has been changed to a sparsebundle as well in Leopard.
Let us know if any of this helps.
Cheers!

Why won't my iPod work on iTunes or my computer? It shows up (not on iTunes) and the iPod shows connected but it has to be "formatted." And why are half my songs unable to play on it anymore? It just skips them!

I've read through several discussions and I've seen a lot of similar issues but none that were quite like mine. Every time I plug my 3rd gen. iPod nano in it shows it connected on the iPod screen and iTunes opens up but the device does not show up in iTunes. The icon on the iPod shows connected and gives the arrows circling showing syncing even though it still says connected. But it won’t show up in iTunes. It shows up on my windows computer but I can’t click it or make it do anything. It keeps saying “You need to format the disk before you can do anything.” And when I hit cancel it beeps and says "Location not available. Dara error (cyclic redundancy check)." As if I know what that means!! And I have 800 songs on it but they aren’t all on my computer and some are on my parents’ computer but I can’t get to that one. It shows it is a “FAT32” which I have no clue what that means but I’ve never noticed that before.
Windows "can't access the disk" and I don't know why. It gives me that notification if I try to check the drive or disk or device for problems. And if you click it on Windows it pops up a screen with formatting things (which I don't know anything about). And then it closes and says that it CANNOT format the device.
The iPod works almost okay when it isn’t plugged in, but I’ve noticed that half my songs won’t play. You click on it and it plays the next one in the album. And it isn’t always the first song in an album but random songs. And songs I listen to a lot. You can’t go back (you can only go forward and you can’t skip over the ‘missing’ song) or even click to select those songs. But other songs play normal, just not half of them that are on the iPod but all of a sudden no longer work. And I don’t know why. I have another 3rd gen. iPod nano that doesn’t have ANY of these problems. It hooks up, it doesn’t need formatting, and all its songs play. I don’t know what is wrong or what to do. I’ve tried re-downloading iTunes and everything. I don’t want to have to reset my iPod and lose everything.
I’ve tried locating the device in iTunes and it shows the iPod but it gives this weird symbol and I can’t select it. It’s like a white box with a box that is outlined in blue with six random icons in the middle. I’ve seen it before and it always means something is wrong or a file (which is where I have seen it before) is corrupted. And like I said I have a second iPod nano of the same generation and it does not give this weird symbol. Plus it connects just fine. It’s this one iPod.
I don’t understand what is going on. It worked just fine and then all of a sudden I noticed songs wouldn’t play so I went to plug it into iTunes and nothing has worked. I’ve searched discussions and none of the tips help. But I want my songs to play again and I want my iPod back.
