Just got one, can't get it to turn on!!! HELP!!
Yes i've gone through all the steps on this website. When i opened up my nano it worked up until i started putting songs on it. somewhere in between i had 57 songs on it when it stopped adding songs. it just says do not disconnect, and when i try to eject it it gives me a battery warning and goes back to 'do not disconenct' if i do disconnect it and start it up all it says is www.apple.com/support/ipod.
I've updated software, restarted, reset my ipod, all of this. what do i do???
Hi strandy17,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try the reset again.
1) Slide the hold switch on, till you see orange.
2) Slide the hold switch to off (no orange).
3) Hold down the center (select) and Menu buttons at
the same time for 6 seconds (or more) and let go when
the Apple appears on the screen.
Gary
Gary,
Your advice about a nano that seemed dead was very helpful to me. I'm up and going again and grateful that I did not have to take it back to the store. Thanks.

my ipod 4g has the apple care for 1 year can you get a new one for it because something happen to it the mirrer broke yes or no
AIf the iPod broke because of a defect then yes, Apple will replace the iPod if it is within the warranty period. A broken/cracked screen is not covered. However, sometimes if you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store they will exchange your iPod at no cost if it has a broken/cracked screen.

Just got an ipod cant get it to work please help
hi i just got an ipod nano it came with the apple ipod + itunes cd, is that the only cd you need? ok so i installed everything on the computer (win xp) plugged the ipod into the usb slot it charged, but all it will say is do not disconnect thats it ive uninstalled everything and reinstalled everything i did the update driver thing, but still all it will say is do not disconnect and it doesnt show up in itunes, and my computer just sees it as a mass storage device, but if i unplug it and turn it on by holding the 2 buttons it works fine but no music so i plug it back in hold the buttons to turn it on it comes on then goes right back to saying do not disconnect, anyone have any ideas?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like you are doing things basically fine.
The "Do Not Disconnect" screen is normal for your iPod to say to you if you connect it to your computer. When you want to disconnect your iPod from the computer, all you'll need to do is a simple "eject" of the iPod:
Look at the bottom-right corner of your screen, and there's the system tray icons there. If the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon is there, click on it, select your iPod, and click "stop".
As for your iPod not being recognized by iTunes, does it show up in "My Computer" or not? If it does, try formatting your iPod:
Format your iPod via "My Computer":
Go to "My Computer".
Right-click your iPod there.
Click on "Format".
Does the iPod format correctly? Check if it works in iTunes after this.
If your iPod doesn't show up in "My Computer", then try formatting your iPod via "Control Panel":
Open Control Panel.
Click the "switch to classic view" link, if necessary.
Double click "administrative tools".
Double click "computer management".
Under "storage" click on "disk management".
Find your iPod's listing.
Right-click on it and click "format".
Select "FAT32" and start the format.
See if your iPod it recognized by iTunes now.
Any more questions? I hope this helps!

My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me. We both have the same e-mail address. The message I get when I try to initiate setup is that the Apple ID is already in use. Any ideas on how to complete the setup of the new iPad since we both share the e-mail account?
If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other. -
I've already purchased iMovie 9.0.6 on my computer, but i can't upgrade it. it said there is available update on another account, but i just got one account on my computer...
Updates:
I found why the original backup file is not showing on iTunes. Becuase it is corrupted.
All other folders contains Infor.plist, Manifest.mbdb, Manifest.plist and Status plist files.
But the folder that contains origianal backup files does not have those files above.
I think the only way I can restore the data is using third party extracting software.
Do you know anything about that kind of software? -
I just got a new iPhone 5. The sales person helped me transfer some photos from my MacBook Pro to the iPhone. Now, I can't get iPhoto to move photos from Photostream to events. Help!
Make sure you have iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences set as follows:
What happens when you drag photos from the Photo Stream window in iPhoto onto the Events icon in the left hand pane? That should import the photos into the library.
If it doesn't thenTry the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto, reset its various preferences and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

You're not the only one some European countries (UK, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Germany < these are the countries that have confirmed they are having this problem) are having the same problem. This discussion is also highlighting the same problems you are having:

I can confirm that the homepage and the music section in the iTunes store are experiencing this problem. -

i got the iphone 5, got some pics and msgs and contacts on it, and when i connected to my PC to restore my previous info from the old iphone, all the new stuff are gone, how can i get it back, thanks for help.
The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

The hard drive on my laptop that contained Elements just died. Can I get a second copy for installation on my new PC?
The iPhone is not a backup device.
Restore the iTunes library from the backup that should be kept of your media and other important files.
Syncing the iPhone to a new library (in this case, it will be a new library unless you have a complete backup of the iTunes folder pre-crash) will result in the media on the device being removed and replaced with content from the new library.
As for iOS5, we really do not know until Apple officially releases it. -

I have 2 apple tv's but my playlists only show up on one; can I get them to show up on both? I have home sharing turned on and itunes match.
If you are attempting to share to both at the same time, you can't.
Are you selecting the second AppleTV in home sharing options on the MBP. Are all devices signed in for Home Sharing with the same AppleID?
