MANY IPOD QUESTIONS CONCERNING REPLACING IT!!!

I realize that i have to send my mini ipod back to Apple to have it replaced becuase of problems that have occured with my battery not being able to stay charged.
And i also realize that it is my responsibility to backup my songs...do you suggest burning them from my laptop to a CD first?
I was also told that Apple would replace my ipod if i send it in to have the battery replaced. My ipod is personalized with my name on the back...will i still recieve another personalized ipod in return for the one i gave them?
And my last question..how do i make my computer "win" when i connect my new ipod (if replaced with my old one) to my library so my libray is not wiped out?

Hi Beaner22,
I suggest burning the songs to CDs, yes. An external hard drive would work, as well.
Regarding the personalization, see the iPod Service FAQ. It states that any laser-engraving done by Apple will automatically be redone on the replacement unit.
The iPod will not have any data on it when you receive it, so it should take you through the set-up process (naming the iPod and setting it to automatically update or manually update) and not wipe out your library. However, if I am wrong on this, someone please correct me.
However, you can replace the battery yourself, or have a third party do it for you. These options can be much cheaper than Apple's method. Contact me if you are interested in information, as I am not allowed to give you the details on this discussion board. My email address is in my profile -- just click on my name to the left.

  • A quick question concerning replacing the DVD drive in a HP pavillion dv6-2057cl

    I need to replace the DVD drive in this dv6 and I am wondering if there is any wiggle room when it comes to the replacement drive.  Can I use another HP disc drive with a similar model # or am I restricted to the "identical" drive?
    Some quick info follows:
    OS = Windows 7 home premieum (32bit)
    The drive pulled out of the laptop:
    Super Multi DVD Rewriter
    MODEL: GT20L
    FW        : DC05
    HW       : A2
    TYPE    : AMCK702
    CT : 7AXVK012GY3NRY
    HP mPC PN : 461646-6C2
    S/N :
    {Removed for privacy}
    MANUFACTURED : OCTOBER 2008
    I have found a replacement with the same "Model #" and same "HP mPC PN" however it was manufactured in 2009 and I do not know if the placement of the SATA connection on the rear of the drive matches up or not.
    Any help is much appreciated!!!!!!
    Thank you,

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It looks like the part number is the same. As long as the part number is the same, it is essentially the same part and should work without any issues. The only time that part may not work is if the part number is different. If any part is different from another part (firmware, hardware, etc.), it will have a different part number. As long as 461646-6C2 is the same on both, there shouldn't be any issue with replacing the drive.

  • Might go for T400/500- Many questions concerning Think Vantage

    Hi,
    I am deciding on my first IBM, a T400 or T500
    I have a few questions concerning the Think Vantage Function:
    a) Does the recovery DVD set back the hard drive partitions to factory settings?
    b) Does the Think Vantage function set back the hard drive partitions to factory settings?
    This means the original size of the partitions, when they have been changed manually.
    c) Does Think Vantage work with a self buyed Windows Vista?
    d) Does Think Vantage work unter Windows XP
    e) Does Think Vantage need drivers/ anything else to work or is it entirly working on the hardware side, so no software/ windows is needed
    f)Will Think Vantage work under Windows 7 in a T400/500
    g) How was the past situation? Did a under Windows XP working Think Vantage also work on Vista / have there been drivers delivered, when needed, for the new OS
    h) Is it possible to set up a new OS (like Vista Ultimate) and then backup it up on a external hard drive and later recover from this?
    What do I want to achieve?
    I want to recover the factory settings at all times, this means partition size, number of partitions etc. and Windows Vista Business. Then I want to install Vista Ultimate do my settings and backing it up to an external drive or whatever and then recover from that all 3 Months. In the end I should be able to set back factory settings with the earliest/ first backup from Windows Business; Furthermore I might want to install Windows 7 sometimes.
    Thank you for your help! Kind regards

  • I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which died,when I open my iTunes it does not show the new iPod, and refuses to allow me to sync my existing library, the new iPod does not show in my computer only on devices, any suggestions ?

    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:

  • Question concerning Servicing

    Hey all.
    I have a question concerning the servicing of my Macbook.
    My laptop (less than a year old and still under warrenty) has several dead pixels on the display and the case has developed a chip on the palm rest when the display lid (prongs) meets the palm rest (I believe that this is a popular problem). I did initiate a self repair on the chipped palm rest with super glue to fix it temporarily.
    The question is if i take my laptop to the Genius bar, will I be able to get both the screen repaired and the palm rest repaired. And if so how long do you think it will take to replace both and any indication about costs.

    I would think you would have no problem with just a simple super-gluing of the palm rest, provided you didn't get it all over the rest of the case. Dead pixels may be another issue. Industry standards say that a certain amount of dead pixels are acceptable. Yield would go way down if all LCD panels were required to be perfect and stay perfect. Your best course of action is to make an appointment and ask. Good luck.

  • Question concerning WiSM operation

    I have a question concerning the operation of the wireless network and the WiSM in a 6500 that we have put in place. My customer has the following setup: On thier mainsite, they have a core 6500 with a WiSM module in place. They have 4 remote sites, with several APs at each remote site. Each remote site is setup in an all Cisco environment, where its typically AP --> cisco switch --> fiber to main site cisco switch --> core --> then on to where ever. I have an engineer telling me this, that whatever wireless data traffic (internet, anything) that hits the AP (at any site), it must go THROUGH the WiSM module. I would have thought that the WiSM module would be for ONLY management of APs, not for data traffic handling.
    Again, he says that ALL traffic (internet, etc) goes through the WiSM module, then on out through the infrastructure.
    I would have thought that traffic would go through the AP only, then through the infrastructure.
    Can you verify wheather data traffic from any wireless device through the AP actually traverses the WiSM module or not?
    Again, I thought the WiSM module would be only for management of APs. Thanks.

    The engineer is largely correct. By default, the APs will tunnel all traffic to the controller to be distributed according to VLAN/SSID. The controller and the AP work together to perform the normal wireless <-> wired bridging. This allows some flexibility in how the infrastructure handles mobile clients. There are many benefits to the Cisco Unified model (or LWAPP).
    We have three hospital campuses and only a couple remote wireless sites. They are all well-connected. As all our primary app servers are on one campus, we only have controllers on that one campus. The client traffic is bridged at the main campus.
    The Cisco Unified model does offer other modes of operation (H-REAP for example) that allow some local traffic to bypass the controller and be bridged by the AP to the local LAN. There are some caveats to this, however, and you'd want to read up on it before trying it:

  • Question about replacing hard drive

    Hey everyone. I had a question about replacing a hard drive for a 2012 midyear pro. I have replaced hard drives before on windows machines, but this is the first mac I have owned. It didn't come with a hard drive when I bought it, but I do have mavericks installed on a usb. As far as a new hard drive, will any 2.5 laptop hard drive work? I read it needs to be 9.5mm thick. Is that correct? As far as I am concerned, hardware is hardware and should be the same as replacing a hard drive on a dell laptop but wanted to see if apple has any weird restrictions.
    Also, is there anything I need to consider or be aware of when putting in a new hard drive? Or can I just hook up the hard drive and plug in the USB and install the software onto the hard drive. Thanks
    Excuse and ny ignorance as I am new to macs.

    Yes.  Any SATA drive will do with those specifications.
    Also, is there anything I need to consider or be aware of when putting in a new hard drive? Or can I just hook up the hard drive and plug in the USB and install the software onto the hard drive.
    Assuming that the installer is functioning correctly, install the HDD in the MBP and engage the installer.  You should come across a 4 option menu.  Select Disk Utility from it.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and format the HDD to Mac OS Extended (Journlaled).  One you finish that, you may install the OSX.
    Ciao.

  • Dreamweaver cs6 suite development questions/concerns

    Hello,
    I am new a new creative cloud subscriber. I have past experience with programming a java environments and SQL. I am new to HTML5/CSS3 and have read a book on the subject to understand the design concepts in effort to find a good environment to develop mobile applications. I like what I see using fireworks to create HTML5/CSS3 to create code for more complex objects/elements.
    Additionally, watched all the videos and am ready to roll up my sleeves and get started. As I have watched the videos and goggled allot of forums regarding DM CS6 and web applications I have a few questions and concerns. I will preface this with the understanding that this involves new features/ technologies and will suffer some growing pains.
    Questions/ Concerns:
    1) Fluid Grid Layout tool:
    Can I create a mobile application with this tool that will work on both tablets and smart phones (not desktops) compiling  a single optimized site using the phone gap tool; or do I have to create 2 separate site and compile?
    2) Phone Gap
    I have read that there are allot of issues with compiling applications. Even watching the adobe road show video, they could not get it to work (yikes).I have also read that I phone product code need to be compiled using xcode(tools); needed to have an apple subscription (which I have access to) What are the known issues compiling mobile applications for the different device platforms?
    3) Sever-Side Mobile Applications
    a) As I understand it, this cannot be accomplished with this environment without a web service that     communicates to the server-side scripting/ Database server.
    b) Reading about local storage, what are the limitations and how do they effect mobile applications if there is more complex scripting and large record sets?
    C) Are there ways to create user/ security roles (I would imagine the integrity issues with security would be staggering)?
    4) Responsiveness
    I have played around DM, I have noticed it crashing and being very sluggish. I know its not memory or processing issues as I have read several posts on the topic.
    It seems that adobe is making it easier to design and develop within one product/suite. These tools seem very powerful. The direction makes sense as I like elements of both development and design. I am concerned that I will hit walls and want to avoid banging my head. I am still new to this environment and the mistakes may be mine. With that being said, do you think Adobe will get these issues resolved out and have a great environment and development model.
    Thanks in advance for the light anyone can shed on these subjects as I am eager to get started (but a bit worried).

    Hi
    To add to Davids reply -
    Item 3:
    Are you talking about apps. or web pages on mobile devices, (they are not the same thing)?
    If web pages then the server/database side is no different to a normal web page which does require a server supporting these. As for local storage, (works whilst off-line) this is normally done via javascript and a local database, but I would not use this feature for anything too complicated as the database is stored on the users computer/device, and only 'communicates' with your server/database when the user is once again on-line and connected to your web page.
    As for item 3.c. - Doing this for off-line use is a complete waste of time, as the user has access to any encryption code and the database entry's, which they can then use when on-line again. A simpler solution would be to require just the users credentials and store this locally, (still not ideal, but at least all the users DB is not downloaded).
    Regarding item 4. Some users have reported problems, but for me personally 99.9% of them I have not experienced with the release version of CS6, and performance issues for me all vanished when I upgraded my PC to an i7 processor with 16Gb memory, an extreme solution for many I admit, but your computers speed and memory will have a dramatic effect on the user experience.

  • How many iPods?

    I have a 20" iMac G5 (ambient light sensor), iPod 5th Gen, iPod 3rd Gen and iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen.
    My question is, how many iPods can I have plugged in AND mounted AND in their docks charging?
    I've noticed that I used to be able to have both the 3rd gen and 5th gen mounted at the same time... however, now that I have the shuffle, as soon as a 3rd iPod gets plugged in, one of the other two will unmount (randomly out of the 3).
    This is kind of annoying as I like to have all of them charging. The unmounted one seems to not charge when this happens. Is this an issue with the iMac or simply a limit in the OS or iPods or iTunes?

    It's more of a convenience factor than anything... To be able to plug into their docks and sink and not worry about if one is not synced, then that is ideal (I do a sync just before leaving my computer so that calendars et al get updated).... but if the only way to do it is one at a time, then I guess I have no other choice. A small price to pay I guess for the great devices

  • Refurbished ipods question?

    Hi,
    I am just wondering if Apple replaces all the parts in refurbished ipods. If I receive a refurbished Ipod, does it has a new battery or someone's else "old" battery? The "old" battery will definitely hold less charge than a new ipod if Apple replaces only the defective part in refurbished ipods
    I am concerned because I want to send my Ipod for repair soon..
    thx

    I bought my daughter a 30GB (video) iPod back in October for her birthday. I got a refurbed one. Besides the box it comes in, there was nothing about the iPod or accessories that would indicate it was ever even used. It all seemed brand new and the battery life is the same as mine, so now one with a short life. So far no problems with it, so I feel it was a good buy at about $70 off the price of a new one.

  • How many ipods on one computer?

    Clearly new to this music download stuff! My dgtr just got a shuffle, I have an MP3 sansa can we both use itunes to get music? The reason I ask is we heard we can not charge our ipod at my sisters when out of town only one ipod per computer???? This makes no sense clearly people have more then one ipod in some homes so what do we do? Can I plug the ipod shuffle into my sister's computer to charge or download from?
    Also well I am here can I use itunes with the sansa MP3 as that would be awesome, although I need clear directions on how to do that.
    Thanks so much for your help old mom with new technology is frustrated!!!
    have a great night

    You can use as many ipods with one PC as you want, but only have one plugged in at a time.
    Here is an article on that. I prefer method 2.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
    The Sansa player, you can't load anything onto it from itunes.
    Just use Windows Explorer to drop MP3 files onto it. Also, iTunes Store purchases are in AAC format and I don't think will play on a Sansa. So buy mp3s from Amazon for the Sansa.

  • How many iPods can sync with One iTunes account?

    How many iPods can one sync with an iTunes account ? I have searched the net and there are many different posts but none conclusive. So was wondering if anyone here had a clear idea on that.
    Thanks in advance,
    -TRS

    But how many ipod can I sync with only one iunes store account?
    None.
    iPod don't sync with an iTunes account.
    iPods sync with iTunes on a computer.
    You can have 5 computers authorized to play songs/movies from one iTunes account.
    Each computer can have 5 iTunes accounts authorized.
    An iPod can have music/movies from 5 different iTunes accounts.
    Note that this only applies to iTunes purchases with DRM, which is movies, tv shows and older iTunes music. All music now purcahsed is DRM free.

  • How many iPods can i sync to itunes
