  • Should I return my iPod touch? And If I do return mi iPod Touch, will I get charged for getting a new one? The problem is that my iPod won't turn on, it only shows the apple icon, then immediately shuts off. I have a 1 year guarantee, a

    My Year Guarantee Ends In Early April, and my iPod is in great physical condition.
    I have not dropped it or anything!

    Try:
    - 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.

  • My 2nd gen ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected.  How do I get to synch all the music I have selected from i-mac with itunes 11

    My ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected.  It only wants to sync the newest music and will not sync previous music even though some of these songs were previously on the ipod touch.   I am connecting to a imac with itunes 11.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I just found out my iPod touch will only sync to one library, what is the difference in technology of the iPod touch and iPod that makes this so?

    I just found out in iTunes help that my iPod touch will only sync to one library unlike iPod.  What is the difference in technology between the iPod touch and the iPod that makes this so?
    Thanks

    You can manage music and videos among different computers/libraries by following these instructions. You can only sync apps and photos from one library.

  • When i sync my ipad to a new one and transfer my apps will i have to start my game from the beginning

    when i sync my ipad to a new one and transfer my apps will i have to start my games from the beginning or will they sync over to where i left off?

    Game settings are part of the backup. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPad to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPad for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPad for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

  • I am trying to save a large file on Illustrator CS6 and it does not save and instead says "Unknown Error Occurred." What do I do?

    I am trying to save a large file on Illustrator CS6 and it does not save and instead says "Unknown Error Occurred." What do I do?
    The file has 4 artboards with webpage designs. I tried to take two of the artboards, create a separate doc with those two, and save, but the result was the same.
    However, I am able to save simpler, smaller files.
    I need to not lose these files and I am afraid to quit and restart and lose my unfinished work.
    Any advice?

    What happens if you choose this option?

    As csound says, you can bring an old ipod to Apple for recycling and they will give you 10% off of a new one.

  • My iPod had a problem, so apple give me a new one and i can´t use the backup of my iPod that had a problem, what can i do ?

    I had a problem with my iPod, so because of that apple gave me a new one. So i want to get all my infomation back using the bachup of icloud, but when i put in the iPod use a backup of icloud it said that there is no backup and in iTunes didn´t apear. What can i do ?

    That's the problem.  You can't restore a device to a backup made on a device that was running a higher iOS version than the device being restored.   You'll first have to update the replacement to iOS 6, then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings, go back through the setup screens again and when given the option select Restore From iCloud Backup.  Your backup should now be available to restore to.

  • My replacement iPod will not sync. I've purchase new songs and albums and can see them on my PC. but they will not sync. When I select the devises from the menu the Sync is greyed out..

    I just had to replace my classic iPod, lost all my music (except previously purchased). New (refurbished) iPod will not sync the new music I've just purchased or the CD's I've uploaded. When selecting the Devises in the menu, Sync is greyed out. I need help. When I plug my iPod into the PC and is shows it is syncing it only picks up my previous music,

    See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

  • When I add my iCloud ID to my new iPod Touch, will it sync and bring my contacts down from the server?

    Hello.  I created an iCloud account today and added a bunch of my contacts to the address book.  I am getting a new iPod Touch (fifth generation) in two months and if I add my iCloud account to it, will the device sync with iCloud and copy my contacts to the iPod Touch?

    Yes. To transfer all info see:

  • My older classic 160GB shows up in iTunes 11 but will not sync. I have a new PC and transferred all my iTunes to it. Old was XP - new is Windows 7. Does this make a difference?

    My older classic (6 yrs or more) will not sync even though is recognized in iTunes 11. I have a new computer with Windows 7 vs my old one that had XP. Does this matter? I had my data transferred and redownloaded what did not transfer but I cannot get the new items purchased and downloaded to sync with my iPod. The data on the iPod has not changed one bit even though it shows as syncing. What do I do? The iPod works perfectly otherwise.

    Thanks planb77. Your instructions worked but I had to do a little more than you stated. I did not realize that transferring files to a new computer was not enough. When the iPod synced I was told I needed to "authorize" my new computer to get my iTunes purchases to sync to the iPod. So after the initial sync, I ejected and disconnected the iPod, went into the iTunes store, set up "home sharing" and then authorized the new computer. When that was done I reconnected the iPod and was able to sync all my books and music. The only thing I couldn't do was rename the iPod as iTunes never asked me to. Is there a way to rename it after it has been set by iTunes as "owner's iPod"?

  • Cracked screen ipod touch 4th gen... i review my product online and it says its still on warranty. But im in Germany now. what can ir do? is it expensive? or it is better to fix it my self? will the warranty cover it?

    i review my product online and it says its still on warranty and expires in one month.
    But im in Germany now, bought it in the USA. what can I do? is it expensive? or it is better to fix it my self? will the warranty cover it?
    can i send it somewhere and ask for a repair in USA?
    i can send it to a friend in california and ask him to help me going to a store or sth.. what is the best option?

    A cracked screen is not really covered by the warranty since it is not due to a manufacturing defect.  However, sometimes if you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store  (yu can go to German one) the Genius will replace the iPod at no cost.  Otherwise the replacement cost is as specified here:

  • Ipod stolen - can I sync all my stuff to new one?

    My iPod Touch was stolen. It's unlikely I'll ever get it back, but my boyfriend got one free recently, so he offered to give it to me. Mine was a first generation, his is a second generation.
    His is synced to his iTunes account, and has a few apps on it. If I reset his to the factory defaults, will I be able to transfer my apps, music, etc. to it without any trouble? I would basically like to clone my former iPod. If I can't do this, please let me know - it would be un-generous of me to wipe his iPod for no reason.
    God, I hate these things!

    You can sync the new one using the back ups from the stolen one. when you first sync it it will ask you if you want to sync it as a new iPod, or from a back up.

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation; every time I try to back up and update, I get error -43. Help?

    My iPod Touch is a 4th generation running on iOS 4.3.3, and I want to update to the more recent iOS 6.1.2; however, when I connect to iTunes to back up/update, about 3/4 of the way through the backing up, I get error message -43, telling me that continuing will result in the loss of all the contents on my device. I don't know how to fix this, and it happens every time I try to update. Solutions/advice is greatly appreciated.
