  • My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

    My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is?  How can I fix this?

         My iPod touch is always recognized by my Vista Box...using the same USB cable and port my wife's nano isn't detected anymore.  Since Vista can't see the nano iTunes can't see it either.  When I try my wife's nano I get the message:
         "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesn't recognize it.  For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
         I thought her nano wasn't charged enough but I've charged it for hours and this doesn't make a difference.  It used to synch like my ipod touch but it stopped working about a week ago.  My wife's nano still holds songs and works it just can't be recognized by Windows.  I even checked if the Apple Mobile Device app was running and it was and I stopped it and restarted it.  Didn't make any difference.  Any ideas?

    My itunes cannot detect my ipod touch 5g. How do I fix this?
    All I know is that my itunes has not been updated. If this is the problem, I tried to close and reopen the program but the "update" popup isn't popping up anymore and I'm not sure where I can manually update it myself.
    Please help!
    Thanks

    The 5G (iOS 6) require 10.5 or higher

    My space bar suddenly started sticking, how do i fix it?

    I don't recommend tampering with the keyboard or you might make it worse. A friend of mine had this problem so he took it to the genius bar and they replaced the key for free. Do you eat at your computer? That could have caused it too.

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

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup

    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • My sound suddenly stopped working, how do i fix this?

    my sound suddenly stopped working after i unplugged my headphones, how do i fix this?

    Common problem.
    Check the headphone port - if you can see a red light, the port is still live, cutting off the internal speakers.
    The cause is a little leaf switch that is pushed over by the jack when you insert it. Sometimes these stick.
    Try inserting and removing a jack a few (dozen) times.
    If that doesn't free it you may attempt to tease it with a slim non-conducting tool (like a toothpick). Ensure the Mac is not only shut down, but unplugged if you try this.
    And be careful; the leaf is fragile and it's an expensive bit to get to and replace, in fact on some models it's directly on the logic board.
