Just bought Friends Ipod "HELP"
Just bought my friends ipod from him and gave him my old nano. When i connected it to my computer nothing pops up. How can i install the ipod and start getting my music on my new ipod
First of all, have you tried putting your iPod into disk mode then connected it to your computer? See this for details:
Putting your iPod into disk mode
Go through these basic troubleshooting steps:
The Five R's
Also, if none of those steps worked, see these articles about iPods not being recognized:
iPod missing in My Computer or in iTunes
iPod is recognized by Windows but not iTunes
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize iPod
Fast user switching on a Windows computer is not supported for iPods
I hope that helps you.

Hi dnix257,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What version of the Windows Operating System do you have?

Take your original proof of purchase from an Apple authorized retailer (or Apple Store) and the police report, make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and they should be able to help you.

i just bought an ipod, but i cnt download anthing in the app store because i do not have a credit card or any of those billing settlements.. please help me...=(
This same thing happend to me, you have to make a new account and you have to chose your birthday as if your under 18 or 16, because if you dont own a credit card, you shouldnt be over this age, so basictly just make a new email and appleID and when you chose your birthday, do it under 16 years of age (or your REAL birthday) and you should have an option of clicking "none" for credit card options, but if you want to buy something, you will have to do the credit card stuff, or you can just buy an apple gift card at basictly any store, So this is how i fixed my problum, i hope it works for you, write back your responce of how it worked out please!

ive just bought a ipod off my cousin it had loads ov apps on it what worked but ive tried to manually sync it and now none will work can any1 helpthanks
The apps and other content on the iPod did not transdfer with the purchase of the iPod. The lience to use them remains with the original purchaes. You should connect the iPod to your computer and restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and purchase and sync you own media.

Question: I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which "died" My computer does not recognize the new iPod and only shows it in devices and printers. I cannot sync my existing iTunes to the new iPod, there is no way I can do it. Any help please?
Hey there longislandmacca,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized in either Explorer, or in iTunes on your PC. That can be frustrating, expecially when its a new device. I recommend you use the following article to help resolve that issue named:

I've just bought an ipod touch but I cannot get beyond the question asking me for a network name. I don't have a mobile telephone which I think this question is referring to. All I want from an ipod is to listen to music. What should I do?
You have to activate a new iPod by either setting it up via wifi network that has an internet connection on to connect to a computer that has iTunes and an internet connection.
You can go to an Apple store or or to a friend's house if necessary -
Hi My grandparents just bought an iPod Touch for me from Dubai, UAE. I can't see any facetime on the home screen nor in the settings. I've read that it's not possible. But is it possible if I get my OS updated again from India?
There is no way you can activate Facetime on an iPod touch purchased in the UAE. The government there required Apple to lock off Facetime at the hardware level and there's no way to unlock it. Reinstalling iOS, regardless of country, will not help. If you want Facetime, you will need to sell your UAE-version iPod and buy one there in India.

Ive just bought an ipod 5th gen and it has find my ipod on it how can i get past it
hi all ive just bought an ipod 5th generation off ebay and it has find my ipod on it is there anyway off me getting around it as the seller isnt replying
No; the activation lock is an anti-theft measure, and Apple won't help anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive) bypass it.
Ask eBay for a refund.

I just bought a ipod touch. I am unable to use it because itunes tells me I have no internet connection (unknown error 306). I have tried all the suggestions I can find, including checking the firewall, the no proxy server is checked, resetting cache on itunes, I even scanned the computer with Registry Easy but nothing worked. I use Mozilla Firefox and have a PC with Windows 7. Obviously, buying a ipod and being unable to use it for 3 days (and counting) because I am unable to register it, is pretty frustrating. Can anyone help?
Did you try all of this:
iTunes Store loads partially or returns "Error 306" or "Error 10054"
Proxies, parental control settings and software, security or filtering software, or a bad iTunes Store cache can cause this.
To address proxies, Remove Internet Options proxy settings and connect to the Internet without a proxy.
To reset iTunes Store cache:
In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (PC).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the "Reset cache" button.
Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.
Adjust Parental Controls in iTunes:
Open iTunes.
Access iTunes preferences:
On a Mac: From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
On a Windows PC: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Parental Controls tab.
Remove restrictions on Parental Controls.
For more information on parental controls or content filtering software, see iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store.
For more information on other security software, see iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues. -
I just bought a ipod touch 5th generation space gray but i think there is a problem
I just bought a ipod touch 5th generation space gray today and I feel that the audio isn't as good as I expected. When bought an Ipod touch 4th generation, the audio was so good but now its not. I bought a 5th generation expecting that it would be just as good as the first time I played audio on my ipod touch 4th generation.
What should I do?Yo have 14 days after purchase to return it for a full refund if yo purchased it from Apple.

I would mMake an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and discuss it with them

Hi everyone,
I have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last for more then two hour.
what should i do? it is seriously big problem.
Please help me.......This is a general comment, not directed to anyone, and not to be taken personally by anyone. This ongoing screw up with the new upgrade (5.0.1) is getting to be a **** SHAME. In no way can APPLE or anyone else for that matter not know by now that the upgrade is terribly flawed. The Ipod machines themselves are super great products, and I enjoy mine to the max. However the upgrade once applied ruins it. And at least, not to my current knowledge, there haven't been any fixes forcoming.
In my opinion Apple should own up to that fact and warn folks that, even though the upgrade was presented with the best intentions, IT JUST AIN"T WORKING. And not to download it until further notice. This noticication could be done through the retail sales outlet, online, what ever.
I liken this to a pharmaceutical coming out with a new vaccine, encourage everyone to use it, then discover it's bad to the degree it causes it uses to become sick. Rather then pull the vaccine they keep on allowing unsuspecting ones to continue to vaccinate, and become sick. What a shame!

Why is the player so heavy on cpu usage ?
I've noticed playing video's from youtube where the video is just a still image and the audio plays, the browser/flash is using 95% of the cpu on my k6-3 @ 550MHz. Clearly, this is the most inefficient media player ever. What is it doing?
