please help me
windows laptop Windows XP

If the iPod is set to automatically update, the songs are greyed out (because automatically updating means the songs in your library are the same ones on the iPod (for the most part)). Anything you would want to do with the song would have to be done in your iTunes library.
If you set the iPod to manually update, this is not the case, because the iPod and iTunes can have different songs.
Although there are ways to automatically update and have different songs, automatically updating is mainly for having the same, or similar libraries, on both your iPod and iTunes (so you can't access the songs on the iPod through the computer because they should be on the computer).
This is the way the transfer modes work. If the iPod is set to automatically update, the songs will be greyed out. Not much you can do.

Ipod touch is messed up, please help!

I had to restore my ipod touch about 5 times now, because it went into recovory mode, and the screen didnt turn on one time, with a fully charged battery. I am not impressed with the softare for my ipod touch, when i updated it, itunes did not recognize my ipod, but my XP pro did. so i unloaded my ipod software to the 1.1.2 vesion and it worked fine. My new problem is that my ipod will be running for a day on a full battery, but then the next day, it says the battery needs to be charged. This happend twice. i think for $300 dollars, this thing should be better, way better. not impressed, mabye the last time i will buy an apple product. Anyone with the same problems or and answer?

Next try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Macbook air adapter heats up really bad ! please help

Hello Folks !!
This is Jan and i purchased macbook air 11 inch 64 gb ultrathin laptop 2 months back. i use this laptop for watching youtube videos or occasional skype chat with family and friends and each day i dont use my laptop for more than 4 hours.
Yesterday i was watching youtube video and after 2 hrs, the adaptor got so hot and i was afraid and pulled power and switched off laptop.
Are thare any macbook air adaptor knows issues and why my macbook air adaptor heats up really bad ?
Please help me resolve my issue with macbook air adaptor.
Please help.
Thanks
Jan

The power adaptor will always get a little warm or even hot during use.
How hot did it get? Was it smoking, melting, or discoloring?
If not, then that little bit of heat is usual and you shouldn't worry about it too much.
Hope this helps,

On my THIRD iPod Touch aka " Mr. Freeze" Please Help!!!

I got my first 16GB iPod touch back in November and it was GREAT! I never had any function problems at all. It always tuned on , turned off , charged , synced , slept , and played just as it was supposed to. Then after about 2 months the left channel audio started cutting out . So I made a service request and sent it off to AppleCare where they quickly identified the problem and replaced my iPod with a different one.
Now the first night I had this replacement iPod it froze up on me and would not do anything until I held the home and Power button for 5 seconds until it restarts. This became a daily ritual. EVERYDAY I would go to use this iPod and it would be frozen , you could look at the screen under direct light and see that the screen was not completely off , you could not see pictures or backgrounds just different shades of black blocks and bars accross the screen vertically. And while it is in the frozen state is drains the battery VERY quickly. I can finish using the iPod at the end the end of the day with at least 75% battery left , turn it off and go home and check it 2 hours later and it will be frozen and when I get it to restart the battery is in the RED. When it is in this frozen state connecting it to the computer does nothing , the computer will not see it at all as long as it is frozen. It tried the 5 R's to every extent with no positive results.
So I got frusterated and made another service request and sent it off to AppleCare to be "Serviced". They said their technicians could find nothing wrong with it , that it met all of Apples quality control guidelines and function as expected by Apple , so they sent is back to me. It arrived to me FROZEN again!
So I tried to use it as was for about another month and decided you know what my first touch NEVER did anything like this in the 2 months I had it so I know it doesn't have to be this way. So I made another service request for this same (my 2nd) touch. Only this time I sent copies of a letter explaining every detail of the problems , and insisting that they either repair/replace or refund my money. Funny enough this time they iddentified and issue with it and replaced it with what is now my 3rd iPod touch.
Now this 3rd Touch does not do what the second one does. I does something NEW. it keeps going into RECOVERY mode , whatever the **** that is , so I will go to use it and it will not function nor turn on and when I connect it to my computer it says iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode and it must be restored before it can be used! So this morning I got up for work ejected the touch from my PC , it had been charging , slid the slider to unlock it and verified it was charged and ready to go abnd then turned the screen off and drove to work. Fifteen minutes later I go to turn the music on and it is stuck in recovery mode.Now I have really had it!!! If it's not annoying enough that this has to keep happening all my music is on my PC at home. So I plug it in to my PC at work and its says it has detected an iPod in recovery mode and must be restored, so I can restore it but then there is no Music on it until I can get back home to resync it with my home PC. So for the entire rest of the day I have and iPod that is no longer frozen , but also has NO content on it!This happens once maybe twice a week , not near as frequent as the last replacement Touch they sent me and it seems to be a different issue also , but still a problem just the same.
I don't understand why this keeps happening?!?! All the content is the same accross all 3 Touch's I have had. My usage remains the same for all 3. Nothing has changed accept the Firmware version between the three. The first touch was 1.1.2 the second was 1.1.3 and the third is 1.1.4.
And of course I never had any problems until I purchased the January Software Upgrade POS. Is it possible that the JSU is causing all of this? Is there a way to remove the JSU off of this Touch or would I have to revert back to 1.1.2 Firmare? And if so can it be done? If I have to do that and it is indeed the problem can I obtain a refund for the JSU because it CRIPPLES the iPod??
PLEASE help , any advice is greatly appeciated! Thanks

Well, I am VERY particular about keeping my electronics MINT. I have never not used a protective case and I have to say it is almost heart breaking to imagine the scratchs my Touch will have on that shiny back after just one day without a case...........but I am desperate. I must say I really do love my Touch. It is my 15th Media player and beyond all comparison the best Media Player I have ever owned and I am willing to do whatever is necessary to remedy this situation and be able to use my Touch as intended once again.
What gripes me the most is that I paid premium price for this iPod Touch and it has virtually no Tech support. It baffles me. I had ONE tech support phone call available within 90 days and I used it on the first Touch so now I can't phone tech support , you cannot e-mail tech support , my only option is to place a service request and send it to AppleCare and you can't give a decent description of the problem even then because you are limited to 200 characters and I am damned tired of sending it back and forth. Is it really so hard to offer decent Tech support for these $400 and $500 Media Players? Dozens of other manufactures manage to do it so why can't Apple? They've got an AMAZING product , why not give it AMAZING support? Thats all I'm saying.

Brand new ipod touch suddenly stopped working. please help!

I was messing around on my brand new ipod touch and it suddenly crashed. it flashed a static-y black and now the screen is bluish white and won't change. I tried holding both the home button and the black button on top of the ipod and neither helped. I even connected it back to my mac book but nothing happened. please help! i've only had it for two days!

That sounds like a mechanical problem. You might want to insert and remove the headphone plug several times and see if it fixed the issue. If it does not, call Apple. 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

My PC Freezes when I plug in my IPod Nano!!! Please HELP!!!!

Hello, I just bought a refurbished ipod nano and everything works fine until I plug it into my computer I do not know what to do please help me.
P.S. If this has been brought up already I am sorry I didn't have time to search for it.
Thanx

Same problem. Im running on a sony vaio and everything just stops working until i unplug my ipod. I'm really getting annoyed with this. I even tried running it through winamp, and that froze even worse. Im able to close all the windows and whatnot, but when i try to terminate an application through task manager, it doesnt go away until i unplug my ipod, meaning i cant restart itunes without unplugging my ipod. then i unplug and it works fine. then i plug back in and it freezes up again!

My ipod touch is disabled. Please help me with my questions. It is my first apple device.

My ipod is disabled. When i turn it on it says to connect to itunes. I can get to where the screen displays a cord and an itunes logo, but itunes does not pop up, nor display my devices. This is probably because I have not synced my ipod with this computer, nor with any computer. How do I sync my ipod with itunes when it is disabled? How do I get itunes to pop up when my ipod is connected to the computer? Please dont give me a link, i really would like a step by step guide. I have itunes downloaded on this computer, but it does not pop up or display my devices. Do I need to create an itunes account? I have so many questions because this is my first apple device. If you were wondering, my ipod touch is disabled because I forgot my passcode. PLEASE help, I dont care if I have to reset my ipod, I just want to be able to use it!

Use Device Firmware Mode...
1.     Turn off your ipod To do this, hold the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds, ignore slide to power off message.
2.     Release the power button when you see the apple logo (keep holding the home button)
3.     Keep holding until you see a message.
Now restore from a backup!
Alternatively you can wait!

Ipod 5 wont turn on please help

Help! My Ipod 5 touch wont turn on!
what happened: A few months ago i installed cydia onto my Ipod to get cool themes for my apps and i wanted to remove cydia and never use it again so I tried restoring my Ipod (Ipod also needed update for IOS 8.2) and it said that it would take 5 days to update and restore. I got really confused but i just shrugged it off as the update adding the new watch app so i waited 5 days and the update still had nothing in the progress bar so i tried using my computer to restore it but I ran into complications (Itunes update, windows update, etc) so when i finally tried it said "ipod ran into unknown error 9006 update cancelled" and it kept doing that so I just reinstalled Itunes to see if that would help but now whenever my ipod starts up it stays on the apple logo for a long time then the screen goes black and it repeats that and i cant plug it into my computer to fix because now my computer wont read my ipod anymore I plug it into my pc and it charges the ipod but it does not read it and i don't know if my warranty will work because i installed cydia to my ipod.
if anyone can help me please help.
I am not sure what operating system to choose so im saying here 8.1.3 - 8.2

Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
Yu can ony restore the latest iOS versin for your iPod which is 8.1.3 for the 5G

I locked myself out of my ipod touch for 60 mins then actually typed the wrong password in again. Now it is telling me to "connect to itunes". I am unsure how to do this. I am unable to use my ipod at all now. Please help.

Hi,
Due to my brother locking me out of my ipod touch I had to wait an hour to log in again. Unfortunately when I did this, I, again put in the wrong password twice more, each time locking me out for a further 60 minutes. On my 3rd attempt to log in the wrong password was entered again. This time though instead of logging me out for another 60mins it now tells me to "connect to itunes" but I have no idea how to do this and I am now unable to use my ipod. Please help.
