hi, my 120gb ipod classic is not showing up in itunes, and everything is gone.
how do i format it on microsoft ' format portable audio player ' ?
the device has just installed necessary drivers to microsoft upon plugging in
like a say though, not showing up in itunes still
before it recently had this failure, it had shown up as corrupted and that it needed restoring (but i was holding off, as i manually managed all music and was hoping for a way to back it all up, to no avail)
first time posting here, would appreciate a quick answer because tempted to just click the 'restore device defaults' option
Many thanks

You need to restore.
Everything should be on your computer, so you can just sync it back.

My iPod is disabled it says connect to iTunes, I connect to iTunes and nothing happens. How can i get my iPod to unlock.

How can i get my ipod unlock. It says iPod is disabled connect to itunes, when i connect to itunes from my computer nothing changes on the ipod.

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.

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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Connect in recovery mode iOS: Unable to update or restore
and follow this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Just got my computer back, reset my itunes and added new music. how can i sync my ipod with the computer as I do not want to erase what I have on my ipod

Just got my computer back. How can I reset my itunes so it matches my IPod settings? I have my favorites and files on my IPod that I want to keep and when I try to sync it gives me the option to erase and sync with computer. How can I sync without loosing any music or files at all?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer. Right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from backup

We have 10 ipads connected to 1 computer and 1 account. How can I change/erase an account so that the seperate offices can use itunes and synchonise itselve?

Hi there!
Our department (marketing) wanted to control the input of the iPads. We found out it was useless because our salesteam wanted to personalize the ipad (think about projectspecific items etc.) It is impossible for 1 person to control 10 iPads and deliver input for each different iPad. So we decided that each office can have its own account. But these ipads are already connected to 1 computer (i know you can connect them to a max. of 5 computers, but that is not enough in this case..) They can make there own account with their personal creditcard or that of the office. How can i disconnect the iPads en still remain the files on the iPads?
With kind regards,
Willeke

Whatt ype of "files" are you concerned about? Are they purchases from the AppStore or music, video etc, or something else? If you are concerned about Apps, one method of centrally distributing apps is to purchase apps with a corporate credit card, and then "gift" them to the various employees. The "gifted" app is sent to the email address you specify and can actually be forwarded, prior to install to another user for their use...

The ipod is disabled when connected to the itunes

the ipod is disabled

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

I connected my iphone for the first time to itunes and lost everything. How can I recover my data?

I connected my iphone for the first time to my itunes. It didnt have any backup or anything saved on icloud. As soon as i plugged it in, on itunes it asked if I wanted to restore, or backup, my ipod to my iphone or something (I dont remember) and I clicked yes. I thought that it was syncing music, and apps that i had on my ipod but instead it made my iPhone 4s into a copy of my ipod touch from the last time i synced my ipod (august 2012) now i have lost all of my contacts, pictures, messages, calls, emails and everything else I had on my iphone... is there any way that I can recover anything and get it how it used to be before all of this happened? i did not save anything on the computer or on itunes backup...

Sorry saker, but if you have not backed up your data anywhere, and you told the computer, in essence to clear the data and restore it with your iPod data, then you are pretty much out of luck....
Cheers,

HT204266 I want to remove all apps from itunes and start again so I can separate ipod and ipad apps

Is there any way of shifting apps from iphone and ipad category to just iphone and the other way around

I dont think I explained my question v well. When I sink my iphone all the apps that are in the category of iphone, ipod and Ipad sync. I understand this however is there any way of changing the category the app is listed under so that I have a separate category for ipad and separate for iphone. Its so frustrating.

All you can do is report it.

Although Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product, you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
