Restore...
From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button. If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

Forcing program to close, I am deleting a lot of files from my trash but it stopped working about 1/2 way through (1650 files left) so I tried to reboot but it won't let me because a the program is still running which I can't close.

Forcing program to close, I am deleting a lot of files from my trash but it stopped working about 1/2 way through (1650 files left) so I tried to reboot but it won't let me because a the program is still running which I can't close (stuck at 1650 files to go). So it allowed me to click cancel now it says "stopping" for 3hrs now. Is there anyway to force the MacBook Air (new model) to close as you can't remove the battery?

Press and hold the power button until the Mac turns itself off. This force-shutdown should be done only after you've exhausted other options (you seem to have done so).
Wait at least 60 seconds.
Then press the power button to start up the Mac. It will take a little longer to start up because it will perform additional self-tests on the first boot after a forced shutdown.
Once the bootup is complete, you should be able to delete the trash. Hold down the option key while choosing to empty the trash, which will automatically delete "locked" items.

My iPod touch was stolen yesterday. I know theres pretty much no hope to get back,but is there anyway to retreve my pictures and videos?? ThanksIs there anyway

My ipod was stolen from a hotel lobby, i know thats its probably never gonna be returned but! please let me know if there is anyway I can retrieve pictures or videos off my iPod touch that was stolen yesterday. I have priceless memories and did not download them. I'm so mad at my self for leaving it for someone to steal. And never activated the "find my device app" Thank u very much for any advice, wish there were more honest people in this world that would turn it in

Sorry about your lost Touch, and doubly sorry that you didn't have a chance to activate the "find my device" app.
The good news is that, presuming you use iTunes to sync your Touch, the songs are still on your HD. You can download the free Yamipod http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/12411/yamipod to get access to your music library. Needless to say, you can also access the library from your backup drive, should you have one.
If you don't use iTunes...there's not much I can do.
Post here with your questions or concerns!

I can't do anything with my iPod Nano, help urgently!!!

Hi!
The other day I was trying to update my iPod nano with the latest iPod software but the program went frozen so I can't do anything. I disconnected the iPod -even when in the iPod window appears the "Do not disconnect"- and I saw that all the songs I had were gone, I tried to connect it again but since that day appears the same "Do not disconnect" but in My PC only appears a new disk unity and in my iTunes doesn't appear anything. I tried to enter to the disk unity but I can't and when I disconnect the iPod, it appears a message of "nothing could be written in the unity G" or something.
Please, if somebody could help me I would thanks forever!

Try resetting the iPod: plug it into the wall charger, switch the hold button On and Off, and hold the center button and Menu for about 8 seconds. If that doesn't work, try the other 4 R's: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/
As a sidenote: when you want to disconnect, you have to either do it through iTunes (click on the grey arrow next to the iPod icon on the left hand side of the iTunes screen), or through Windows Hardware Manager (in the taskbar on the bottom of the screen, double click the icon of a grey box with a green arrow in it-select the iPod & click Stop>OK).

I daughter's iPod touch is password locked and authorized to computer that doesn't exist anymore. i want to set it up on my iTunes but it won't recognize it because of the failed password attempts. what can i do?

My daughter's ipod touch is password locked and attached to a computer that doesnt exist anymore. i want to authorize it to my computer itunes account but itunes wont even read it due to the password failure. what can i do?

That's by design. The password is designed to protect the user's information and cannot be circumvented. You can restore it to "new" condition though, and sync it to your computer. The iPod Touch's content will be securely erased by doing this.
Refer to iOS: Unable to update or restore. Follow the instructions exactly as written.

My iPod touch is disabled and has a passcode but it won't let me type in the passcode it's stuck on connect to iTunes screen help!!!!!

My iPod touch 8th 3rd gen is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and won't let me do anything and iTunes won't restore it or do anything because there is a password on it and I can't type it in on the touch since it's stuck on this screen help please I've tried doin the power and menu button to restart it and it goes right back to connect to iTunes someone please helpme

Try again placing the iPod in recovery mode. It can be tricky. The computer should say it discovered an iPod in recovery mode. Recovery mode bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod). If not successful, try placing the iPod in DFU mode.

"Do not Disconnect" Can't do anything with my ipod

Just bought a new ipod mini. Able to download software but when I connected ipod to computer, all it says is "Do not disconnect." Took to apple store, they updated from 1.3 to 1.4 and it worked ok. When I got home and connected to home computer, still says "do not disconnect" and unable to do anything. I am able to download songs to library and have purchased a song from itunes to library but unable to transfer any songs to ipod. Help!!

Maria,
It's likely that the iPod is Mac formatted and needs to be formatted for Windows use.
Dont use the supplied installation cd.
First off, if you don't already have it, download and install the latest iTunes 4.9
Then download and install the latest iPod Updater, then restart your computer.
Run the updater program, connect your iPod when prompted (not before), and follow the set up procedure, and you should be good to go.

How do I cancel my iCloud account on an iPhone i recently sold ?? They can't do anything with my phone until I get out of iCloud and I have no idea how to. Thanks

How do I cancel iCloud in iPhone that I already sold to someone. The phone was busted so I sold it and I had no way to get on it

Hi! I may have a solution for you
This will involve erasing all data on the phone so make sure the buyer knows that the iphone will start erasing itself during this process
First, Make sure the buyer has turned on the phone and connected it to wifi
Log into https://www.icloud.com/
Click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.

Are the printers in question supported AirPrint printers? If not, there is no expectation they will work.

I tried to copy 2,000 photos from iPhoto (v9.2) to Photoshop Elements 13 Organizer. It looked like they all copied, but then I got a crash report that the program had unexpectedly quit. I can't get back in to remove any photos. What do I do now?

I have repeatedly tried to re-open PE13 Organizer with no luck. The first time there was a message that the catalog was being organized and then it crashed. From that time on, I only get a crash message that it unexpectedly quit. How can I get the photos off the organizer so I can open it back up again? Thanks!

zna22121,
Close computer down, and restart. If it does not work, it should, then re-install. But, do not attempt more than 200 at a time it just cannot handle it ?
Good luck
Ps. I just dislike Organiser, (it is too slow, and disorganised) you can go from PE 13 Editor ( My wife tried it and went back to PE 6 ) and Process Multiple Files only 200 at a time. in Photoshop Elements, Organizer may handle it ?
We often do video production stills of 2,000 from PE 6 and we know it works ,when you use the images in Adobe CS5.5.2 Premiere Pro..for HD & Blue -ray transfers.. It is very easy ?
