My IPOD is not connected but computer says it is

I had a IPOD nano 2GB but I decided to upgrade to an IPOD 4GB so I can play videos. So far I am not impressed with it. On my old nano it was very organized. I had 2 playlists and and audioobok category. On my new IPOD I have a million categories and I can't seem to get it organized. I have music I don't want and can't seem to delete( songs aren't highlighted) I can't add a new playlist. So far I have music everywhere. I can't seem to add either I can't put the video where I want it. ETC ETC ETC. What is the problem? My old Nano seem to be so easy to use. Just plug it in the computer and voila. I tunes says it is pluggged in and updated, but nothing seems to working properly.
IPOD Nano 4GB Windows XP Pro
My new IPOD acts like it is not connected. That is why none of my songs are highlighted and I can't make a new playlist. Right now I have my new IPOD hooked on the computer to Itunes but it is not playing through itunes like the old one. I have tried to download the newest version of Itunes but it says I have the latest. The computer(Itunes) says it is connected and insync but for some reason not taking it. Do I need to take this back to the apple store?

Do the iPod Disk Diagnotic in this excellent post by tt2.
If the report is good
Try using the USB 2.0 port at the back of the PC
Disconnect all other USB devices
Dont use any other Apps while you are syncing or Restoring.the iPod.
Disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or other monitoring software.
Have anice day!

Ipod internet not connecting but shows a wi-fi connection

Hey guys, my ipod touch has been fine up until now. My ipod shows positive connection to the internet, but it cannot connect because "the server cannot be found." Someone please help me. Thank you.

Tap the blue > next to your network name. What are your IP settings showing?
If everything looks normal, ie. 192.168.x.x for your IP address and the routers IP address, you might have a DNS problem. This kind of depends on how well your internet connection is and if you have any problems with your computer getting to web sites.
If you are getting a 169.x.x.x address, then your touch is not getting an IP address from the router. This might depend on your router settings or it might be related to your touch. You can try tapping "Renew Lease" of turning WiFi off and back on. You may even want to power cycle your router if the two previous steps don't help.

My IPod touch not connecting to computer or itunes, it only charges

I Have an IPod touch 4g and when i plug it in the computer, it charges but it doesnt connect to Itunes or My computer?
Ive tried using a different cable there was no difference, I tried pluggin it in a different computer, still the same problem, reboot my IPod, I tried going to service at menu at the computer and restarting IPod device.
None of them worked. Im wondering if its my IPod touch. Can someone please help me? I have been looking for a solution but still no luck :(

Looks like a hardware failure, you'll have to get it serviced by visiting an Apple Store or by contacting Apple:

HP UPD PDF's not printing, but computer says it did

I haven't ever used UPD before. I installed a new printer using the UPD b/c I couldn't find a regular driver. Its working fine.
So I wanted to see if the UPD would help an HP 4050 print faster on pdfs. In Imanager I associated the UPD driver to the HP4050 (I installed that UPD as a driver for a HP 4015), but I figured its Universal right?
On the test computer I Installed the HP 4050 with the new UPD driver. Everything works perfectly EXCEPT when I print a pdf, it shows up in the print que, then says it printed successfully, however nothing comes out of the printer. Also Its not like it is hung, b/c I can immediately print a non pdf to the same printer.
Please help, I'm clueless.

I have personally fought with HP universal print drivers and iPrint countless hours over the years on an OES1 iPrint server. I win some battles and lose others when it comes to HP drivers and iPrint. Sometimes I can get them to work perfectly well, sometimes so-so, or sometimes not at all. It just depends on the printer and its corresponding drivers. However, I have found that sometimes (with problematic universal driver printers) you can select the printer's properties in control panel and find the option to update settings (that updates paper trays installed, memory, etc), and sometimes this has resolved my printing issues in the past. It can take several seconds or more at times for all the settings to be updated after requesting to poll the printer. Also, make sure you are running the latest version of the iPrint client. If you are running XP, make sure you are fully patched and have any recommended Microsoft issued iPrint or IPP related patches/hotfixes installed. That can make a difference at times I've found (when dealing with older iPrint clients with XP). Also, don't forget you can always manually reinstall the drivers via the update driver option for the iPrint printer object in the control panel on a Windows OS AFTER iPrint has autoinstalled the drivers from its driver store. Unfortunately, it seems that once iPrint gets its hands on the drivers (after being uploaded initially), they don't always end up being redistributed to subsequent clients in the same condition as the driver files originally were. Also, you might find a generic non-universal HP print driver that works ok with your 4050. Experiment with some other legacy HP drivers, such as the base 4000 series PCL drivers. Best wishes.

Ipod classic not connect the computer and not load, what do I do?

Help me please!

Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB port on your PC? Preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC and not a USB port on the front or via USB hub.
With the iPod still connected to your PC, try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, see this article for more troubleshooting suggestions.

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4157 My iPad. Oonnects to other wifi it used to connect to my work wifi but it will. Not connect now what is work I am connected with my iPhone but iPad will. Not connect or it says safari can not open page

I can connect my iPhone to my work wifi but when I try to connect my IPad it will not connect. It says safari can not open page. What's up with that I have used IPad connected to work wifi before

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

HT201412 Can't get on FaceTime says wifi not connected but I can get mail, how?

Can't get FaceTime to work, my wifi says not connected but I can still get mail, how can this happen?

I was having the same problem. I've probably screwed things up royally by doing so, but I just went ahead and created another Apple ID with a different email address, and will inform anyone who I will be using FaceTime with to use the new one. I tried using the "multiple ID finder" thing but it only ever returned the ID I'm using right now; I can't verify the email address this ID is associated with for some reason.
It's a clusterfark.
