Just bought my first iPod, my computer is in the shop, can I start up my device on a friends computer? Do I need the computer that has all my songs?
Yes but it is then difficult to get the iPod to sync with your computer later. It can be done by backing up the iPod on the friend's computer and then moving the iPod backup file to your computer and transfering iTunes purchased to yur computer and then restore the iPod from that backup and syncing.

Just bought a refurbished ipod nano g1, wont charge the batteries
Just bought a refurbished ipod nano g1, when trying to start it up for the first time, sometimes the apple logo will pop up and stay there for hours and wont let me register my ipod in itunes and other times it will just be a blank screen.
Tried the 5 R when the apple logo popped up, however when i did the "menu and centre button move, but the screen will shut off and wont start up again.
Faulty hardware?There should be an option (on the left hand side of your iTunes) for your iPod. Then when you click on it you will just need to setup and there will be an option to sync at the bottom right hand corner

i have just bought my first mac and have been told in pc world that i can get a free upgrade to lion, but it would appear that this is only for those in the u.s. and canada. is this true? also from reading the discussions it seems that lion is not a good thing. i am already regretting my decision to go to a mac.
I have found that both Linux and Mac (unix) are capable of reading "deep" folders while win 32 will have issues, your it people are clearly wrong. I run a network with both win/mac. And as long as the win servers/pc's that have shares are set to allow apple file sharing in their folder properties. And the macs are set to allow smb there should absolutely no trouble with you accessing anything across the platforms, heck, from a Mac to a win pc on some occasions you don't even need to include a "domain" name to log on to, and you can create aliases and make your own shortcuts etc... So you don't have to manually connect each time you boot up etc... But that's all personal preferences I suppose.
All I can tell you is that, I do it on a daily basis managing a small business. So your answer is yes you can. -
I just bought my first Ipod and i have a QUESTION can anybody pliz answer ?
Ok so i have like 30 videos in my imac that i have purchased from itunes. I moved all of my videos to my ipod the first day i bought it. So here's my question...i already have all the videos in my ipod, If i erase them from my imac can i transfer them later from my ipod to my computer again or i can't do that ??? I just want to know that because i'm planning to buy more videos (as soon as Apple fixes Itunes) and i don't want to use that much memory from my imac......
The basic answer is no, (although I note what turingtest2 says - and tt2 is far wiser than me!)you cannot transfer music or videos from an iPod to iTunes. Other people can and probably will point you to software that helps you recover files lost from your computer but still on your iPod, so there is a way, but... (I'm not sure what that software is, someone else can post that info though)
The best way to manage your iPod (which you may already be using) is to use the Sync function which automatically manages the content of the iPod and is much less hassle (for you) and a better method than *Manually Manage your iPod* . But Sync relies on the vidoes and music being in your library _every time_ you Sync. If you remove/delete items from the library, Sync will also remove them from your iPod the next time.
Also, it is very unwise to delete purchased music or videos from your computer, leaving them only on your iPod. If you iPod fails, is dropped and therefore broken beyond use or stolen, you lose everything. The nature of an iPod, that is being carried around, stuffed in pockets and bags and a visual temptation for thieves means that it does happen.
Finally, there are occasions when an iPod may need to be Restored. I have not had to perform this on either of my iPods, but it does happen, so it's wise to assume that your iPod may need Restoring one day, and this procedure deletes everything from the iPod, seeting it back to factory settings. Having Restored an iPod, a new Sync will then automatically put all the content in your Library back on your iPod without you having to manually move each and every file yourself.
So my advice is don't delete the videos. Perhaps you could install an external hard drive to increase your storage, I assume that's easy with a iMAC.

I just bought a new ipod touch and when i plug it into my Mac usb port nothing is happening I can get the computer to sync other ipod in the same port
Try:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Do not omit the Additional Information paragraph.
Is the iPod that connects an iPod touch? If not that does not mean anything since iOS devices like iPod touch, iPhone and iPad use different drivers than other iPods. -

I just bought a new ipod but my macbook computer is too old
i just bought a new ipod but my macbook computer is too old, It says I need the latest version of itunes but my computer said it has the latest version already. I got my macbook back in 2007. HELP
I have a macbook 10.5.8
and itunes 10.6.3 and says i need 10.7Upgrade to Snow Leopard:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply. -
I just bought my first iphone. I am so disappointed in the battery life of the iphone 5. Is this the norm for iphones? Are they working on a fix to this problem? Almost wishing I had bought something else.
Without knowing what battery life you are seeing we can't determine if you have a problem. Have you compared your usage to the Technical Specifications?
Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G
Standby time: Up to 225 hours
Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
Video playback: Up to 10 hours
Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
Under normal use, unless there's a problem with your phone, battery life is comparable to any other smart phone and better than some. If you've never owned a smart phone before you will be disappointed with the battery life on all smart phones. You should expect to charge any of them daily. It's a mistake to think of it as a phone at all; it's a very powerful pocket-sized computer that can also make phone calls. -
I just bought a new Ipod ios from a friend and she didn't reset it before she gave it to me and when I try to connect it to my laptop it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to itunes"and it says to put in the correct passcode but I don't know what the passcode is and now I can't get ahold of my friend that sold it to me. So my question is: How do I reset the passcode and the Ipod touch so that I can sync it to my laptop and so that I can enjoy my new Ipod Touch?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

Hi - I have just bought my first IPAD [3 rd gen, no wifi] and one of the things I want it to do is to accept transfered word files
preferably as folders from my MAC - I just bought Keynote but it doesn't seem to work. My files are all doc and docx so I think
perhaps looking into it more I should have bought Pages instead,, but I don't want to spend more money on another app if
possible. Does anyone have any suggestions?You can download a complete iPad User Guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/ipad_user_guide.pdf

Your Tag states you are running OS X 10.5.8 = Leopard... If this is the case... read on...
The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs

I have just purchased my first iPod touch and I cannot transfer my music from my laptop. The sync button does not appear to work. What have I done wrong? I am a grandma trying to keep up with technology please help.
Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple
I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple TV products and not with my Netflix app-the Home TV icon only shows with Apple products.
I had hoped that I could use my Laptop Pro for unrelated tasks while I watch a movie-I have chosen TV only on the drop down. I dont seem to be able to seperate the twoThe movies do not download onto apple TV it shows them as purchased and you need to stream them down. If you want to show your purchased music on Apple TV you need to sign up for iTunes Match.
There seem to be a few glitches with iTunes Match so i just use the computer icon to listen to music on my computer through Apple TV. If you have your Movies and TV shows on your computer this is where you will find them.
The Movies and TV Shows buttons on the main page of Apple TV show you films and tv shows you have purcahsed or cen rent or purchase.
You can also sync your Photos over as well. Method is slightly different in that in iTunes on the computer
File > HomeSharing > Choose photos to share with Apple TV
