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.
Authorize or deauthorize http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
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.

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.

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.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.

(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

Is there a security surveillance system that works with a MacBook Pro or iPod touch?

Is there a security surveillance system that works with a MacBook Pro or iPod Touch?

Problem is most vehicles can't supply enough power to charge a MacBook Pro battery, not without placing a generator in the engine compartment someplace like police cars and campers have.
Apple provides the MagSafe Airline Adapter but it's designed for 15V, not the 12V of vehicles, then it's only to keep the battery from discharging on airplanes, it won't charge it.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB441Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDEwMQ&mco=MTA4NDE2Mjc
"It's designed for 15V DC that you find on airplanes. If you are the DIY type, you can make your own 15V DC automotive socket by using an automotive universal laptop supply to step up the car's 12V to 15V"
I found this online:
http://www.365laptop.us/product_info.php?language=en&currency=USD&products_id=10 64
Notice the device says:
"Input: 11-14V DC 8Amp MAX " - Cars are 12V DC.
Output: -DC 15V.... the same as the Airline Adapter
Looks like one needs to cut and splice the two parts/wires one needs together.
This 12V to 15V conversion is a lot better/streamlined than trying to upconvert 12V DC to a whopping 120 AC and then your Mac's power brick is downconverting 120AC to what it needs in DC to try to charge the battery which the vehicle can't supply the wattage for anyway.
Apple has a patent on the MagSafe adapter, they don't provide a 12V to 15V converter + MagSafe adaptor for the car. It would be nice if they did though.

No problem with this with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date.

I am unable to sign-in to my iphone4 to make purchases or update apps. There is no problem with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch when logging in to iTunes or Apple.com. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date. This very strange. Any suggestions how to resolve this problem as it is quite frustrating.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Outlook 2010 Syncing With iPod Touch and iPad

I have a PC with Outlook 2003 that sync’s with iPod Touch and iPad. I plan to buy a new PC with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. Comcast tells me they don’t support Outlook (They support Outlook Express) but Outlook 2003 currently works fine on my PC with Windows XP. I have the following questions:
- . Is there an alternative to Outlook 2010 that will sync with my iPod Touch and iPad?
- Will Outlook Express sync with my iPod Touch and iPad and is Outlook Express still available?
- What is Microsoft Exchange?
Thanks for your help. LCP

Just look at page 26 of the new US) users guide. It specifically says that the iPad syncs with Outlook 2010 (as well as 2003 and 2007). However, Comcast's mail help page only lists OL 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007.

Syning with iTunes is completely separate from iCloud, except that if you have elected to sync calendars and contacts with iCloud you cannot sync them with iTunes.
What iTunes media are you having problems syncing to your iPhone?

WRT54GC Wireless router problem with iPod touch and Ipad

Hi
I have a WRT54GC wireless router and both my ipod touch and ipad can connect to the network. They can both use the internet for like one minute and then the internet becomes very slow, and dies. Network connections are lost and I'm getting messages like 'can't connect to itunes' or 'lost connection with youtube'. The wireless router works fine for the laptops in the house (all windows). In the house where I live in the week (closer to my school) there is another router and i don't have the problem over there, also no problem to connect to my schools wireless network... So I think it's a combination problem of apple products and that router. I've tried a lot, like resetting network configuration, updating firmware, changing from wpa to wep1,... Anyone an idea?
Thank you
Bert

oh and the connection to the router isn't lost.
Thank you

My iPod Touch and iPad will not sync with iTunes, Windows crashes

I have done the latest upgrade on software for itunes, upgraded the software on both my ipod touch and ipad and now itunes will not sync. As soon as it starts the syncing process I get a pop up window (I'm on Windows XP) that says that there's an error and itunes has to shut down. I ran the diagnostics test and it says there's no error. Not sure what to do now.

How do I get my IPod touch and Ipad to play songs/albums downloaded from my Icloud correctly??

I used ITunes match just fine. But, tracks/entire albums play incorrectly - song plays about 1 minute, then skips to next song which plays for about 1 minute, etc. This is true for both IPod Touch and IPad (1). The same files downloaded from ICloud play fine on the computer and they also play fine on AppleTV. I have deleted and redownloaded these files numerous times, which makes no difference. Purchased music and some ripped from CD's play correctly on Touch and Ipad. This also seems to be connected CDs that were ripped and reencoded at a higher version before uploading. The files in question are now Matched AAC audio files.

You would need to restore the backup of your iPad Mini to your iPod Touch, and the apps would need to be compatible with both devices.
Restoring the backup to your iPod Touch will overwrite the data and settings with those contained in the backup so if you have anything on your iPod that you want to save, you would need to do that first.

I just updated my iTunes to 10.5 and now when I plug in my iPod touch and iPad it won't sync or even recognize them.
