Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Make sure these are installed...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Try reinstalling those if they are already installed (using the above links to make sure you get the most up to date software).
If iTunes still will not open, try these...
iTunes Does Not Open Or Unexpectedly Quits
iTunes Does Not Open After Upgrading
iTunes Does Not Open If Firewall Software Is Not Up To Date
Finally, the iPod not being recognized is likely related to iTunes not opening.

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (iTunes 7.0.2.16). To find the version of iTunes you have open iTunes, click Help, then About iTunes. If this does not work then follow the following instructions:
    For iTunes Technical support please call 1-800-APL-CARE
    or
    Another problem might be that your service pack of Windows 2000 is not the latest version (Windows 2000 Service Pack 4).
    I would recogmend getting Windows XP, many advantages over Windows 2000. Especially security and looks wise.

  • I need help with my new iPod!!!

    Ok, so i have a 20 GB 4th generation iPod. I just ordered the 30GB 5th generation iPod. I want to get rid of the 20 GB iPod as well. Do i need to unregister the 20 GB iPod and uninstall its software on my computer?? I dont know? How do I set up the new iPod's software, over the other software?? please hep

    If you want to get rid of the iPod, simply Restore it.
    Don't uninstall anything.
    If you have iTunes 7, simply plug in the new iPod. No need to install anything. If you do not have iTUnes 7, you will need to update here -> http://www.apple.com/ipod/start/

    Hello Andrew,
    Was the reply I gave you in the other post you made of no help?
    I explained that Windows ME is not compatible, but you can get it work with a little messing around, and once again, here's a link on how to do it.
    Guide to iPod and Windows ME.
    As I said previously though, you won't be able to use iTunes.
    See my other answer to you here.

  • I need help finding a new iPod case.

    I would like to get a new iPod touch 4G case. No gel ones. And no OtterBoxes. I already have reviewed them. I'm pondering the SwitchEasy. Should I get one?

    I have the Griffin hard case....it's a plastic case that slides on in 2 pieces to cover the back. I then have the Zagg screen protector on the front.
    http://store.griffintechnology.com/ipod/ipod-touch/outfit-gloss
    (Probably overkill but I also found a small digital camera case taht zips up that I use for it....largely cause I toss my Touch into my purse so wanted it very scratch and impact resistant.)
    They also have some portfolio type of cases that, if I wasn't happy with my present set up, I'd look into.

  • Need help with using new ipod as hard drive. please!

    Hi. Has anyone had any problems using the ipod as a hard drive between two systems? I have an old 4th generation ipod which I used on my PC. That ipod worked great between macs and pcs as a hard drive. But recently it is completely screwed up. Anyway, I got a new Mac book pro and a 5th generation 60gb ipod.
    Now, I'm trying to get some stuff off my pc and transfer it into my mac. In my pc it comes up in "my computer" but keeps asking me to format the hard drive whenever I do the drag and drop of files into it. I've already formatted it for my mac, but haven't put anything on it yet. So I guess I could just do that for the transfer and reformat it for the mac and then put my music on it.
    I just want to know, it worked so well between mac and pc as a hard drive when originally formatted for my pc. will it not work the other way around? Will I have to keep reformatting it for the pc every time and then lose any information and all my music if I want to use it in that way? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I would really appreciate any help at all that anyone could give me. Who really needs a 60gb anyway, if not to be able to transfer files back and forth between home and work, right?
    Dell Dimension 4400/MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Windows XP on the PC

    Thank you for your reply. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me. But I have one more question.
    See, I looked both of those software applications up, and it seems those are to be installed on the windows operating system. My plan is to eventually stop using my PC and give it away to goodwill, however, for work purposes- which is freelance- I'd need to use the ipod as a nice small portable hard drive- I'm a photographer, and work with big files, so I need the larger space that a flash drive can't give me.
    So, is there any type of mac formatting on the ipod that can also be read by the pc? Or is there a 3rd party software that can be installed on the ipod that will enable it to be read on the pc and mac while retaining its mac formatting?
    If not I guess I'll just have to go back to the old and extremely inconvenient way of doing things. I really wish mac would have mentioned these things before in all their descriptions.

  • Help! I need help buying a new iPod!

    Hi. This is the first time for me to buy an iPod. I do not know much about either the nano or the video ipod. But the problem is that I don't know if iPod nano would have enough room for all of my songs, and songs that I will purchase in the future. So here is the question. How much space does iPod nano lose due to it's formatting process? I know that video iPod (30GB) loses somewhere around 3-4GBs. How much does Nano lose? Ig it loses more than 1GB, I'm thinking about buying the Video instead... Please explain to me in detail!! And by the way, is the memory technology for nano flash memory?

    The 4GB iPod nano will have 3.7GB of usable capacity, and an 8GB iPod nano will have about 7.5GB. If you choose a 2GB iPod nano, you will be able to store roughly 1.9GB of data on it.
    The iPod nano uses a flash drive for storage.

  • I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.

    Hello,
    I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
    itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
    I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
    Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
    Thanks.

    "In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
    Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • *** Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes ***

    * Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes *
    I bought my iPod 30G when it first came out back in the day. With the protective case it looks like a Walkman, if you know what that is. The new ones are half the thickness of my old skool one. lol!
    Anyway, years ago I accidently uploaded a virus in both my PC and laptop. Yeah, real *******. Well, the person who restored my computers couldn't save my music. I still have the iPod but my library on iTunes is gone. If I try to update my iPod in either computer it will erase every song I have on it and only upload the songs/album I'm trying to add. I'm told that this is something Apple did to prevent file sharing, blah, blah, blah...
    Does anyone know a way around it? I keep buying CDs just not able to load them into my iPod thru iTunes.

    Hello yourantihero,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • Need Help to create new screen for RF Sapconsole

    I have to develop 2 new screens with really few time.
    And, another subsidiary question :
    how SAP can transfert information between the flash gun and the screen i have developped.
    Is there some code to add to enable this functionality or it is include in SAPLLMOB on standard fields ????
    It's a new strange world for me today...
    Many thanks to everyone who can explain me
    Alain

  • I need help making a new Arch install ISO

    I have posted a couple of messages, but as yet no one seems to have responded, probably because they have not read them.
    I need help building a new ISO for Arch, to take account of dmraid.
    I can and have built ones that get so far, and clearly I am not that far away.
    All I need help with now is getting at the contents of the initial ramdisk (/isolinux/initrd.img) so I can make a new one with modifications, and if anyone can help, I need a hand working out how to use the kernel26.img that I will end up with on a system.
    Any help appreaciated.

    As far as I know this will be included in the next ISO release. I solved it by manually bringing the dmraid package to the install and wrote a guide on installing your root system on dmraid. However when the system crashes I have the slight inconvenience of having to install dmraid and manually mount the sets to do a recovery. I guess this is the part you want to get rid of aswell. I decided to wait until the next holy ISO.
