Need help with an older version of iPod Touch.

I recently received an older iPod Touch with version 4.2.1 on it. When I tried to set it up for automatic downloads from my iTunes account, there is no listing under Settings for this OR to upgrade to a newer version. Also, how do you tell what generation you have?

That is correct. You have a 2G iPod that can only go to iOS 4.2.1. Fpr automatic downloads you need iOS 4.3 or later.

Need help with original MacBook, Snow Leopard, iPod Touch and iPad

I have the original MacBook (2GHz Intel Core Duo) and I just installed Snow Leopard. My software is all up to date and my system drive has 42 GB of space available. I have an iPod Touch 32 GB 3rd Gen and iPad 1 32 GB that I previously have been syncing with an iBook G4 PowerPC with no problems. The iPod is running iOS 6.
Now, I want to sync them with this MacBook but when I open iTunes and connect the iPod, I go to click Backup (to this Computer(or even to iCloud)), it gives me an error message that my computer does not have enough space to backup. The iPod is only 17 GB full. So, I tried clicking Sync, in an effort to just get my iPod data into my iTunes and on the computer that way. But it only did a 3 step sync and didn't actually transfer anything from the iPod. My iPod was NOT wiped clean however(which is what I was actually worried would happen). So I gave up on the iPod.
Moving on to the iPad, I clicked back up and it WAS able to backup. The Available space on my system drive went from about 42.8 GB to 42.25 GB, so I figured it may have done something. Then I tried to Sync and it did the same 3 step sync and nothing was transferred to the computer and the iPad left untouched.
I am extremely new to Snow Leopard, so maybe I am missing something. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Ultimately my goal is to just get everything from my iPod and iPad onto this MacBook.

See if yhis article helps with your sync and backup issues http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Make sure that you click on each tab on the top of the iTunes window and select what you want to be synched.

As far as replacing the hard drive it's very easy, here's a guide http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+Hard+Drive+Replacement/514/1
IF you do decide to replace the hard drive you might consider a solid state drive, less power, less heat and WAYYYYY faster. I replaced mine with a Samsung 840 250GB SSD and it's the best upgrade I've ever done to a computer.

I really need help with my wifi on my iPod touch 4g?

I do not know much about technology, so I dont know what to do. Anyways, my iPod touch will not connect to the internet. Apps such as iFunny, Pandora, Safari, Facebook Messenger, etc. all say that I am not connect to the internet, even though that the signal strength bars in the top left corner shows that I am connected to my wifi at my house. I have had this iPod touch for a little over a year now, but I would think that it would start to die this quickly. I have also tried to restart my iPod. Wouldnt work. I have tried to turned the wifi on and off. Wouldnt work. I have tried to troubleshoot and have the iPod forget the network and put my information back in. Wouldnt work. I really dont want to fully reboot my iPod until I absolutely know that that would resolve my wifi problems. PLEASE HELP! Thank you in advance. :/

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You posted this yesterday, at
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=54&thread=185330
The code you've posted doesn't seem to include Ilikejava's suggested changes - which are, as far as I can tell, the major changes required to bring your applet in line with Java 1.3.
It will be easier to help if you show what is wrong with your code, if it's generating a compiler error message or throwing an exception.

I need help with the upgraded version of Garage Band '11. Its totally different.

I am incredibly frustrated with the newest version of Garage Band. I am a choreographer and constantly need to edit music. The work I do is very simple. Just cutting sections of music to make the songs shorter. I have been using Garage Band for years with total ease. I used to be able to just highlight a section of music and click delete. Now all that does is either stretch out all the timing or delete the whole track. I need simple cut edits. PLEASE HELP!!! The help sections do not help at all!

Need help with installing old version of firmware

I would like to revert to an old version of firmware for my Airport Extreme base station. I have read in a number of postings that this would possibly help with the problem of my Canon Pixma ip3000 not working after the firmware was usdated. When I tried to install the old firmware, the Installer would not allow it, there was just a message that the software was up to date. Could anyone please give a step by step description of how this can be done? Is there a way around the Installer? Thanks.

The firmware supplied with the base station was 4.1. After installing it, everything worked just fine, including wireless printing to a Canon Pixma ip3000. At one point, after being prompted by a message onscreen to upgrade to 4.2, I did the download and installation, and that is when all the problems started. No wireless printing, and I can't seem to use the Airport Admin or Assistant (not responding). Since then I have also upgraded the OS to 10.4.5.
I am trying to downgrade to 4.1 since that is what worked initially and what was suggested in another posting I read.
I did look at the information for the various parts of Airport and noticed that the Setup Asistant is 4.2, the Admin Utility is 4.2 and the base station is 5.5.1. Could this be affecting the problem as well?
I will try downgrading using the link you provided. Thanks very much.

Need help with syncing from ITunes to IPOD

Hi. I'm relatively new to ipods but I just got an IPOD mini. Since it only has so much memory(about 4g) I want to sync specific songs, not have Itunes do it automatically. When I clicked on the "manually manage music" I can see it works but only to a certain extent. You have to drag EVERY SINGLE SONG to IPOD in Itunes INDIVIDUALLY!! I cant do that everytime I wanna switch up my IPOD library. I also clicked "only sync clicked items" hoping that in my normal music library, if I click the box to the left of each song that I want to be synced and uncheck the songs I dont want sync'd that would work. Will it? Because that's all I want to do, just sync particular songs without having to drag 1000 songs. Clicking would be so much easier.

Using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
A better option to use when your iPod is smaller than the iTunes library is 'Sync Music - Selected playlists'.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano or Mini). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:

HT1349 I Need help!! I lost my Ipod touch at school and can not find it anywhere

So, I keep my iPod touch in my back right pocket. It normally falls out when I sit down in a seat, but I get it back. But his time, I didn't! I kept retracing my steps for more then an hour but couldn't find it anywhere. I checked the school's office, I asked if anybody found an iPod, I tried texting it..but it's no where to be found.
I don't have any way to get the serial number, so contacting the police won't help..I have a passcode lock on my iPod, but people can jailbreak into it! IS there no hope of finding my iPod ever again?
