  • New Itouch not recognized by windows or itunes.

    I got the itouch today for XMAS. I have attempet to activate it on two different laptops and my home computer, none of which recognize it in windows or on itunes. The only thing I can consistently get from the itouch screen is the picture to conncet to itunes. WHich obviously doesn't work.
    I have reinstalled itunes several times, verified the usb ports (which are multiple) are working. I have reset the itouch, even though I haven't even used it.
    Any logical suggestions on how to activate this thing?

    I was really frustrated this morning when I expected to plug in my new ipod touch and it did not work...
    I have spent hours and hours trying to figure out what in the world is wrong with it.
    I called apple support on the phone this morning and none of the troubleshooting ideas worked so I made an appt with customer service on SATURDAY! ahhhhh i seriously do not want to wait....i kind of want to smash it on the ground....
    i read everyones thread and the exact same problems are happening to me...
    when i pluggled it in it said "This Ipod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." so i went into services and the program refused to start....goody...then on some weird spur of the moment click, it worked but even then my ipod didnt even show up in itunes...made that annoying little noise
    im going to see if i can exchange this defective ipod touch for another, but i just hope there arent 5 million people there...(day after christmas)
    good luck everyone!

  • My ipod is disabled and i no longer have the orignal computer i used for it, my sister played with my passcode and disabled it. now my new computer wont let it appear in itunes. how can i restore it?

    please helpp!

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod via iTunes.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    If iTunes does not see the iPod see:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • The new update wont sync my phone with itunes

    I updated my itunes and now my phone wont sync or charge off my computer.

    Just got a reply to the question--I forgot that with the iphone you have to open itunes, click on your iphone device, go to the music tab and click on the music you want to sync to the iphone.  Kind of cool--that way if you have a big library you don't have to uncheck everything before syncing...
    So I can leave everything checked for my ipod classic and still only sync a relatively smaller number of songs to my iphone.
    Sheesh...what'll they think of next?
    BTW sorry for the needless censorship generated in my last post--who was to know that the word starts-with-s rhymes-with-trucks was so naughty?

  • A new ipod has been detected but cannot be identified. [drivers?]

    Yes -that again- the reason I'm making a new post is that this is the second time an ipod hasn't worked with me, I would like to know if there's something I can do to my system or whatever to repair it. Here's the situation.
    - Just so ya know, I use Vista on a laptop [unfortunatley]
    - Previously [as in yesterday] I had an ipod touch, it was stuck in recovery mode and nothing [and I mean nothing] worked to recover it, it wasn't being recognized at all. This problem occured when I installed Itunes 9.
    - Today I bought myself a brand new iPod Nano (5th Gen) for several reasons [not just to do with the itouch breaking, I was sick to death of the thing in general], took it home and connected it. 'A new ipod has been detected but cannot be identified' yadda yadda.
    - I tried everything, I have also downgraded my itunes back to 8, still the same message!! Argh! Here's the thing (that I think might be causing the problem) when I open Device Manager and go to Universal Serial Bus Controllers, there is no apple/ipod recognized. There is a 'USB Mass Storage Device' whch has an error symbol next to it, I've tired updating/reinstalling it etc and it doesn't work ):
    - Is there anything anyone can do? I'm so sick of ipods breaking on me. Just so you guys know, I'm not completley computer savvy so i'll need precise instructions, thanks so much to anyone who can help me.

    This is how it's displayed: http://i50.tinypic.com/nd7vk7.jpg
    And this is what happens when I click properties and 'search for solutions': http://i47.tinypic.com/2iu3vrc.jpg (the box disappears after that, apparently having done nothing, when I search online for software it informs me my computer already has the best/latest installed)
    I use a Toshiba Satelite L350-170, my Vista is a 32-bit Thankyou!

  • Firefox is refusing to start. It says that my profile is missing, which it appears to be. Yet the way in which one goes about creating a new profile wont' work either. Anybody have a bloody clue what's going on and how to fix it?

    AIR give you classes to detect an on-line or off-line status, it's in 
    this way for the sake of flexibility for instance what happens if you 
    only what to sync  data only on Saturdays at 2 am? If it were done 
    automatically that'll be a problem. And it isn't so complicated.
    You can download the SalesBuilder from AIR examples at www.adobe.com/devnet/air
      it's an application that does everything you have in mind.
    I don't understand your question abou file types.
    An AIR app can communicate with almost every backend served tech 
    CF, .Net, PHP, RoR.
    Sincerely,
    Michael

    Sorry but I don't quiet understand. I thought AIR did the updating 
    automatically? I didn't realise the developer had to program the 
    logic of how the updates take place?  Is it a case in most AIR apps 
    that when online the app updates the server and once every intervel 
    (of however long) the local SQLite DB is synced to the more updated 
    server DB. Then when offline the developer has to sense that the app 
    is offline and store a log manually of the updates without any help 
    from AIR itself, and then update once it comes online again?
    >
    Can AIR link to anything more than a database on the server side 
    apart from webservices, for example .as files or any other file types?
    >
    What type of server is a Flex app stored on, is it a specific Adobe 
    server rather than a Java or .NET server?

    Thank you so much for your last comment!

  • Itouch won't detect properly, any advice?

    Okay. Here goes:
    itouch refuses to be detected. I really can not think of what the issue could be. Itouch is newest firmware- 2.2. itunes is newest version- 8.1.1. Reconnect in every order (computer restart, itunes open, then connect.....computer start, connect, then open....etc). Restarted the Itouch by holding the main button and power button. Restarted the apple mobile device software. Tried on multiple computers, multiple versions of itunes, etc... Computer knows it's an itouch (shows it, can open to view photos but that's all). Itunes says "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again". I reconnect, etc...still pops up.
    I have no clue what to try. Any help is great.

    Did you try to connect it in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If it is recognized and you're able to restore, set it up "as new ipod" to make sure you're not using corrupt files from your backup.

  • ITouch wont convert mythbusters

    i have 10 seasons of Mythbusters on my computer. they work on my friends ipod classic 5th gen and appear in my itunes. ive got a new itouch 4th gen that syncs perfectly with itunes and i got my movie (king arthur) and all my music, but for some reason my mythbusters wont sync. after looking at the forum for a while i saw that most people with this problem had at least marginal success converting the files to ipod or iphone versions... but when i select the tv show and pull down the advanced tab i see the option to create ipod or iphone version and to create an ipad version and to create AAC version but the first two are greyed and i cant select either... what do i need to do to get my tv shows?

    i fixed it on my own. lol.

    my itouch wont let me download apps says not enough disk space even after i have deleted old apps and have no photos or videos on it please help

    - How much free/available storage space do you have? Go to Setting>General>About..
    - The IPod need between two and three time the file download size to download and anstall an app.
    - Connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. What is the discribution of storage usage as shown i the colored bargraph? If the "othjer" category is > i GB then try restoring the iPod to reduce the "other"

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

    can i set up my new iphone 5s using my ipad (because my work laptop wont allow me to installl itunes).?

    No, but you do not need iTunes to setup a new iPhone 5s. Create an iCloud backup for anything you want to transfer to the new iPhone.
