Need help in reseting or restore of ipod
My daughter bought an ipod apple now need to know how to reset it?
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. 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. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Help! I just restored my ipod touch 2nd gen cos I needed a clear out. I went to sync some music back on, and it seemed to work. However when I went into 'music' it said 'no content'. I tried syncing music 3 times and it did the same every time. Help!
Try plugging your ipod into your computer. Then start up itunes. Let it load everything. Then click on your ipod and play a song from your ipod's library. Not your itunes library. If it plays the song, then go ahead and stop it, disconnect your ipod, and check the content once again.
I had the same problem and beleive it or not, this worked. I synced my ipod like 5 times before finding this answer on the web. Let me know if I need to clerify anything. -

I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.
Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If you get the corrupt error message then go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select the backup and delete it.
Next
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I need help in sync music from the ipod store that I have purchased to my ipod.
I need help syncing my music onto my ipod. Anyone there to help?
There is a few events where I could see this happening...
It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours. -

If the new SIM is working, and I backed up the Iphone-4, why do I need to to RESET and Restore, as mentioned in the "About Unlocking" instruction?
I think you haven't told us the whole story. If the phone was working on multiple carriers before it was officially unlocked it was hacked to do so. If it wasn't, and you haven't seen the message "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked" then you must still Restore iOS on it to get this message.

If i reset or restore my iPod touch will all my apps be deleted? If so what about the bought ones ?
- A reset does not delete any media (apps, music etc) from the iPod.
- A restore will delete apps, music and other media from the iPod. If the media is in the iTunes library then a restore from backp will restore the media and after a restore to factory defaults/new iPod you can sync the media back to the iPod.
- If not in the iTunes libray, you can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
Can't reset or restore 60Gb iPOD photo
Hi, my iPOD photo suddenly shows an exclamation mark when I start up......so after following ur instructions etc, I try to enter into disk mode and try to reset first.....but when I run the latest iPOD updater.....it says "iPOD updater 2005-09-06 cannot continue because there are other application using iPOD. Pls close all iPOD application and try again.
FYI, I've removed iTunes after reading this but still it shows the same thing. I'm using a Window XP and connection is via Apple USB cable supplied to a USB2.0 hub. Firmware last updated is July 05 if I'm not wrong (cant check now since I cant get into the iPOD....any other means to check?).....I've ran a search on ur FAQS and discussions and tried wat is mentioned but cant work....brought it down to Apple support centre in Singapore (Orchard) and their solution is restore....so I decided to give it another try and wait another day but still cannot work...so I try to reset and restore....but I cant startup my iPOD updater.
I then goes into "My computer"....it shows my C drive but the iPOD shows drive E instead of D......and my name on iPOd - rey ipod is changed to Apple ipod
When I double click the Apple ipod, its says "Please Insert a Disk into drive E".....I cant even eject from my computer now.....
PLEASE HEEELP as I do not wish to lose my music files and data I've stored in the iPOD photo 60GB....btw, its still under warranty
Prior to this happening, I've connected my iPOD to a colleague Window XP to transfer some data files I've stored within the iPOD. The drive is E btw as he got 2 HDD on his PC.I've tried on my frenz PC.....WIN XP and Win 98......also cannot recognize.....on XP, once plug in, i asked me to format my iPOD....then Win98 says no driver....need to install driver.....
Then I tried going to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Disk Management
It shows my C drive HDD but under E drive(suppose to be D drive cos i only got 1 HDD and nothing plugs into my USB etc) it shows Disk 1 (unreadable)
Help....wats next.......I cant even use iPOD updater to reset or restore. -
Need help with haivng more than one Ipod.....
Ok, I have gone through these posts and am still having trouble. I already had my daughters shuffle on our computer from last year. My husband and I both got Ipods for Christmas this year. I registered mine under a different email and created a new account for mine so it would be different than my daughters. As soon as I plug mine into the computer, it loads ALL of her songs onto mine. I had to restore my Ipod to delete all the songs but if I plug it in again, it will start to load all of her songs onto mine again. What am I doing wrong? I purchased one song to test it and it adds it to her list. I have seen the posts on here about making the seperate playlists but I have no clue what I am doing. All I know is that as soon as I plug mine back in, I am getting all her songs. What steps do I need to take to fix this. Please help!! With 3 Ipods, What is the best way for me to set this up. Anyone that can help please feel free to also email me directly, I am deseperate. Thanks!
HP Windows XPI have just posted a similiar question - my son got an iPod for Christmas and I can't make a seperate account either. Here is a link that someone sent me...maybe it will help you.
The only thing that will help me is someone else coming over and doing this for me because I'm going out of my mind trying to fix it! Good luck.
