the battery is fully charged. ive re-installed the program just incase. and went to the ipod store and exchanged the mini its self.
but the do not disconnect flashes still.
also through itunes on the souce bar, the ipod mini does not display as an option.
ipod mini Windows XP

yes. done those for the third time now. i keep rechecking and rechecking it all from their webpages.
i am so frustrated. i keep the ipod nano plugged in all day and the "do not disconnect" is still on after 6 hours?!
and i can restore and restore because it still has factory settings. and no content from me because it hasn't ever updated or worked.
i have even called customer support :[
i just need some solution. i thought ipods were the easy music players.

I have a MacBook using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1. When I tether my new iPod Nano, the icon shows on my desktop, but the device does not show up on iTunes.

I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1. When I tether my new iPod Nano, the icon shows up on my desktop, but does not show up under devices in iTunes. The Nano says it is connected and synching, but I cannot download music if it doesn't show up under devices.

Hi,
Have you managed to solve this problem? if yes, please highlight how you solved it...i'm facing same problem with my new Iphone 5S but udner Windows, thanks.

Is the new Ipod Touch 5g compatible with all of the ios 6 features and is the new Ipod have the exact same design as the Iphone 5 for example square sides, instead of curving sides?

Does the new Ipod have the same features as the Iphone 5 in terms of panorama, or like the new Isight camera? Like the same features/ design?

it is compatible with most iOS 6 things, the main difference is just the fact that it doesn't have 3G or 4G, which limits how much it can use Siri or Maps.
it does have panorama, and a 5 MP iSight camera. the design is different. it is a lot thinner, it has curved edges, and at no part of the side is it flat, same for the top and bottom. that is NOT the case for iPhone. also the iPod doesn't have a mic. on the front.
hope this answered your question.
just remember this for iOS 6: pretty much everything that doesn't always require internet the iPod can do. if it is something liketurn by turn direction, unless you have wi-fi in car, it wont work.
if you need siri for anything outside of wifi, unless it's something on the hard drive itslef, i.e. setting up reminders, it wont work for thing such as facebook posts, looking for restaurants, etc.

Is possibile to syncronize a second new ipod with the same library?

IS possibile to syncronize a second new iPod with the same library?

My gf was having the same issues and also with a big echo every time I called her either from my 4S or even fron a land line as per other comments here. They told he to take it into the Apple store and they reset the software and now it's working fine.....so far.
Now today my bluetooth earpiece has decided to stop working for some unknown reason and then the last person that called me said my phone keep cutting out. I don't know whether that was because I had to turn off my bluetooth to answer the phone or what.
I suspect Apple will be sending out an update to fix some of these reported issues but in the meantime the local Apple store seems to be the only option. Just hoping I don't have to take that option as that would require a huge inconvenience for me as neither of the two stores in the Vanvouver area are remotely close to me.
Good luck.

Will the new iPod touch (the one with no rear facing camera) have a white option ?

Only Apple knows and they have not said anything about adding that option.

My new iPod plays the music over and over again. It does not stop and the volume buttons have no effect. What can I do? The RESTRICTIONS require a a passcode and I don't have one. Any suggestions?

My new iPod plays the music over and over again. It does not stop and the volume buttons have no effect. What can I do? The RESTRICTIONS require a a passcode and I don't have one. Any suggestions?

Try:
- 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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup.
In order to restore with the unknown Restrictions passcode you will likely have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How much would it be to upgrade my IPod touch 2gen to a newer iPod like the 3, 4, or 5?

I got this iPod touch 2 generation and I want to upgrade it to a newer iPod. Just want to know how much would it be?

If you sell the iPod touch to a third party, you can put the money towards the purchase of a newer one; the cost of this varies depending on how much you get for the old one and how much the person selling you the newer device charges.
If you use Apple's recycling program, the cost is 90% of the retail price of a new one.

My sister wants to connect her new ipod to the computer that my nano is on.

K my sister just got a new ipod shuffle and wants to connect it to the computer. my nano is already connected to the same computer she wants to use.
How do i put it on the computer without messing up my itunes?
Please help if you can

iTunes will recognize that it is a different device. However, if you're worried that your sister is going to rate songs differently than you would like, well that's different. See if this article offers any guidance:

IPhone... will the new iPods have the same music interface (GUI)?

I really like the new iPhone's interface/GUI. I love the way you can view the albums via the art work. Wow! I remember suggesting this to them in this forum and directly a couple of years ago when the color iPod came out. Does anyone know if the 5th gen iPods do this or if there will be a software update for them to do this? This is more revolutionary to me than the phone itself.

They don't? I saw somewhere that they have a very neat search function, but not viewing them via the album art. Since this is available on the iPhone, why do they not implement it in their latest products? I am not speculated but only wanted to know if something that I would like to buy will be worth the upgrade.
Also, I don't understand the 2nd point. I am not allowed to speculate? I don't understand how asking if a current functionality that is in their latest product will be available in their other latest products. If not, then they need to end of life (EOL) the 5th gen video iPod and come out with new ones.
Also, it doesn't make much sense to me that you would hang something out on a pole like carrot in front of a horse and dangle it front of us, the consumers, and not have it available for us, the consumer, to buy it. That really bothers me and frustrates me.

When I connect my new Ipod to the computer it freezes and I must wait a long time. What should I do?

My Ipod freezes when I connect it to the laptop. Then I cannot do anything with it for a long time. Can you help me with this?

Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode
It's possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for Manual Test, then select IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine taken when my 6th Generation Classic was about 2 years old:
Retracts: 889
Reallocs: 12
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 2202
Start/Stops: 894
Temp: Current 24c
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50c
Take a note of your results. When finished press SELECT & MENU for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
Reallocated Sectors Count
Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
Pending sector count
Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.
