My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.
My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer. It has worked great for many days until today.
I’ve tried two different Apple cables.
I’ve tried different USB ports on the computer.
I have rebooted both the Mac and the iPod.
I’ve wiggled the cables and checked for dust in the connectors.
The iPod charges using this same cable connected to wall wart. That’s a good sign.
Both the Mac and iPod seem to work fine separate from each other. They just won’t talk anymore.
Mac mini
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
OS 10.4.11
iTunes 9.2.1
iPod Touch 32GB, version 3.1.3 (7E18), model PB533LL
I found this possible solution on another support thread, so I tried it.
turn off iPod
hold Sleep and Home buttons to start it.
When Apple appears, let go of Sleep button, but keep holding Home button.
When screen goes blank, let go of Home button.
Connect cable and check iTunes to see if it has conencted.
This did not work for me.
I then turned off the iPod, restarted the Mac, and restarted the iPod normally.
I connected them with the cable, and it works like normal. :-)

I want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded. I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is valid. I cannnot delete the account because "find my iphone" wants the password linked to this old account. But when i go into the find my iphone app it is using my corect Apple ID. How do i fix this?
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/). -

However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue. This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.

My iPod shuffle only worked for a short time. It will not charge and the power light does not come on. Bought it in 2009. Put it back in the box and in my desk. Recently tried to get it to work again but no luck. Anyone else have this problem? Very disappointed with the product although my wifes work perfectly.
Can't say I haven't done the same kind of thing...keep finding things I had every intention of...
If you have the chance stop by an Apple Retail store and talk to them about it...they often work deals for replacement of out of warranty non-working items for prices around half price. Won't hurt to stop by and see what they will do for you. -
I installed new hard drive and I am trying to restore from time machine external back up. I restarted the computer and held the Command key and the R and the restore utility does not appear. what can I do
Command + R keys are for Macbooks running Lion and Mountian Lion only. ( i could be wrong on this)
you have a couple of options:
Do a clean install of Snow Leopard via Install DVD.
Clone your old hard drive to your new hard drive via Carbon Copy Cloner
Or click on the link below to give you a better idea.
Hope you get it sorted out.

Can anyone tell me why when I type a very long email, the send button is not highlighted anymore when I am done and I can't send the message? And I can't seem to save the message or anything and as soon as I touch a button, I lose the whole thing. Any suggestions?
Have you tried typing and saving using Notes or word processing Apps before sending message?

Hello.
My iPod was knocked out of my hand at school and it cracked and chipped really bad. It worked fine, until this moning. The entire left side of my screen does not work at all. I cannot rewind songs, unlock my device, or enter my password.
How am I going to get my serial number now?
It is practically impossible.
And how much would it cost for it to be fixed?
It is a 4th gen black iPod touch.This article can show you how:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1459
Also have you ever made a back up to iTunes?
In terms of a replacement the cost can be found at the linke below:

ok so I went to buy a an album on iTunes that I havnt used on the device before. It said I needed to do clarification questions but I cannot remember the answers to them. When I go to reset the questions it sends to an email that is now non existant. It wont let me change it what so ever, I cannot find it anywhere to delete or change. Please help
You will need to call Apple and ask for Account Security, and will need to provide documentation in order to prove your identity. Use the Contact Us links at the bottom of every page of this forum for phone numbers. Best of luck.

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?
I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch. -
