  • My iPod Touch keeps disabling my passcode.  I have typed the correct passcode but it won't accept it.

    My iPOD touch keeps disabling my passcode.  I have typed the correct passcode but it won't take.  It took it numerous times earlier in the day.

    Maybe at one point, you may have miss typed the code when setting up the code. You'll have to factory reset your iTouch.
    Try restoring in Recovery Mode:

    If unsuccessful, try DFU mode:
    iClarified - iPhone - How to Put an iPhone Into DFU Mode
    After fully restored, set up with one of your back ups:

    Or set as new iPod:

    Hope this helps.

  • I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano and I need to update my OS! How do I do this?

    I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano 6th generation and I have after searching threads etc discovered I need to update my OS! How do I do this - all of the posts on this subject are a bit out of date I think? I have a mac book pro 2.2 so I know I can run Leopard, I just have no idea how to get it...? Please help!

    Check your Mac against hardware specs to find out what version of OS X you can upgrade to.
    Then buy DVD for that version.

    My ipod touch will not sync with itunes I have tried to restore it to the factory settings and have now lost what little music I had on it I have music in my itunes but it wont sync for some reason .. please help ..

    Why won't it sync? Are you getting any sort of error message during the sync process?  If so what is the exact wording of that error message?  If this the computer you normally sync the iPod with?

  • My ipod touch keeps removing my songs and videos. What do i do.

    Im getting sick and tired of this. Yesterday morning my ipod deleted all my songs NOT bought by itunes. It also deleted my video, 8mile, which i did buy off of itunes. So last night i plugged it into my computer, and it was fine that night. All the songs i had thougt were erased and the video 8mile were restored. Let me just add in that the songs that were not bought by itunes were put on my ipod on a different computer. So anyway, last night everything went back to normal. So as i get to school today, i hit the play button, and the music keeps spazzing out and pausing then playing, pausing and playing. Then when i look in my library, again, ALL the songs that were not bought by itunes were erased. And again, my movie 8 mile was deleted. But note that i have music videos on there, but they did not delete.
    I dont have much time in my day to fix this, so if someone can help me i would very much appreciate it. Also note that i am posting this o the same ipod touch.

    It appears that you are syncing your iPod to two different computers/iTunes libraries..  You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.  If you synced with one computer and then syned to another computer, the iPod would be erased and its contents replaced with the contents in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    Solution is to only sync with one computer.  However, yu can manage music with different computers.  See:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

  • I buy my ipod touch 4 in colombia, but i dont have some apps

        I buy my ipod touch in colombia, but i dont have some apps in the ipod that other ipods have like angry birds, why? and i can do something for that this other apps appear without buying another ipod?

    It has nothing to do with where the iPod was purchased (except for FaceTime since some middle-eastern countries prohibit FT and it does not appear on those iPods). I depends upon what is available in the App store in the counry where you are located.

  • My iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I have tried holding down the sleep and home button at the same time and nothing happens. What else can I do?

    Please help.

    You need to hold down the two buttons for at least 30 secs. This should shut the device down, ready for a reboot start.

  • I have this refurbished I pod touch 4G and I just got it like a month ago. I held it in the sunlight and I spot a tiny hairline crack on the screen it's from the edge to up a little. I haven't dropped it at all. I need to know ASAP what to do

    I need to know ASAP how this will affect me what will happen over time and what should I do. I can't spend more money!

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Explain what happened. Frequently with normal use a crack can grow causing problem with the touch function of the screen.

  • My Ipod Nano 5th generation keeps skipping randomly within a song and sometimes skips to new songs.

    My Ipod Nano 5th generation keeps skipping randomly within a song and sometimes skips to new songs. I have tried resetting it. I have tried updating and adding new software. I even tried just leaving it off for a few months and still it has this problem. The shake skip setting is not on. What I am to do? Also it is out of warrenty

    Since you have already tried a hard reset, perhaps you could try a full restore of the Nano in iTunes. This process wipes all content from the iPod, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. This would rule out the possiblity of data corruption or a software glitch on the device.

    Hello all - I had the same problem with my iPod Touch - The problem with mine was that it started happening when I added new music to my iPod Touch it started skipping most of the songs when I tried playing it in my car stereo, it would only play some songs but not all (my solution) - I back tracked and deleted ALL the NEW songs that I had added recently and after deleting ALL the new songs I tested my iPod Touch and it started working normal again so the problem wasn't the iPod Touch the problem was one or more of the new songs I added was corrupted and it was causing my iPod to skip most of the songs I tried to play - Nothing I tried was helping NOTHING - All you need to do is back track to all the songs you added recently and delete them until your iPod Touch starts functioning normal again...Hope this helps it sure helped me ;-)

    My iPod touch keeps mixing up my songs. When I try to play certain songs it displays the cover art and info for the song I selected but consistently plays a completely different song. I reload the affected song and it works fine after that, but then another song suddenly gets mixed up.
    Anyone else have this problem, or know how to stop it?

    Hi, mine does the same thing. It started happening about two software updates ago. My songs will only play in random order. It really *****.
