  • My MacBook is plugged in with a green light and shows it's plugged in, but is not charging.  When it's unplugged, it dies.  It was charging last time I used it but not any more.  I am no computer whiz and need detailed info on what to do  Thanks.

    The model 2,1 MacBook has an easily removable battery. You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

    Removing the battery:
    Shut down the computer. Disconnect any cords connected to the computer.
    Turn the computer over.
    Locate the battery latch on one side of the battery.
    Use a coin to turn the latch a quarter-turn clockwise. The battery should pop up slightly.
    Lift the battery out.
    Installing the battery:
    Place the right side of the battery into the battery compartment at an angle, as shown below.
    Gently press the left side of the battery down until it sits flat.
    While holding the battery down, use a coin to turn the latch a quarter-turn counter-clockwise. The battery should lock into place.
    Note: Keep in mind that once the new battery is inserted, you will need to press the power button to start up the computer.

    Hey corky60,
    I'd go ahead and give the following troubleshooting steps a shot:
    1. Try the iPod troubleshooting assistant:
    2. Restart the iPod Service
    3. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    4. Empty your Temp directory and restart
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Change your iPod's drive letter
    7. Remove and reinstall iTunes
    8. Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items
    9. Update, Reconfigure, Disable, or Remove Security Software
    10. Deleting damaged or incorrect registry keys
    You can read more about each step in detail in this article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
    I'd start at the top and work through the steps until iTunes recognizes your iPod nano.

  • HT1491 My iPad only shows one song from a whole album I purchased on iTunes from my Macbook. iTunes only shows the album as purchased but will not allow me to download to iPad.

    I bought a full album on iTunes but the iTunes on my iPad mini will not allow me to download the full album. It shows that I have purchased the item but the purchase does not show up in my "Purchase" tab of iTunes on my iPad. I have updated my iPad completely. I have spent all weekend trying to fix this issue and I am so frustrated!!

    Thanks for the reply! I am using the same username for my Macbook and iPad but had to update my Apple ID to a current email. After I did that I updated my iPad to the current system and then my iTunes stopped recognizing my purchases. It wasn't until JUST NOW that my original Apple ID would allow my password to delete itself from the iPad. So the issue seems solved now. User error.
    Thank you!

  • My ipod shows up in my computer but is not recognized by itunes

    I have an Ipod touch 5th generation and I seem to be having problems with it not being recognized in Itunes.  When i connect my ipod to my computer it automatically opens my computer(file explorer) on Windows 8. But, when i open Itunes it does not realize an ipod is connected. I have restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, have restarted apple mobile device, and run diagnostics and troubleshooting(didn't work because it couldnt recognize my ipod touch) and still none have fixed my issue.  It worked before windows 8 but now it is not working. Please Help!

    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause (after you do the above)

  • I Pod Nano plugged in but is not recognized...help

    So i just recently bought a 4 gig i pod nano and put in the cd to download the updater software and all that garbage. I already had itunes 7 downloaded on my computer but the disk that came with the ipod nano had itunes 6 on it (for what reason i dont know) and thats where everything went downhill. Previously (before i purchased the nano) i had an ipod mini connected to my Itunes 7 and since i downloaded itunes 6 which came with my nano it wouldnt even let me open itunes. so i redownloaded itunes 7 and plugged in my nano and it didnt show up but when i plug in my mini that shows up. i dont know what to do...i think it has something to do with my music library but not sure...let me know
    dell inspiron 6000   Windows XP  

    Been having the same problem with my new 4G Nano, the computer just wont recognise it, but my old Ipod is fine.
    But by chance i had a USB memory stick in the other USB port and the Nano suddenly shows up on my desktop and iTunes 7!! Still won't work without a memory still plugged in as well. But I can at least get music onto it now.

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Delete the songs and redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • TS5181 I had the itunes radio yesterday but then when i tried to listen to it today, now its not even on the bottom row anymore, the itunes radio isnt there at all, why??

    I had my itunes radio yesterday on my iphone 4s, that came with the new software update and i was listening to it yesterday but now i went to my music and the icon down on the bottom of the screen isnt even there anymore and theres no itunes radio anymore. What do I do?

    try safe removal option. my computer says "generic volume is running" or something like that, and then it will be recognized by itunes. itunes 7 for some reason recognizes my nano faster than itunes 6. can't figure out why since the rest of itunes 7 stinks.

    You have to install the iCloud control panel for windows, then sign in with you apple ID, and check what you want to sync.
