New iPod, won't connect

I installed all the software for the new iPod video, then connected the iPod. Then I realized I hadn't hit "restart" first. I disconnected my iPod, which had loaded on two songs, then restart my computer. Now when I connect my 'pod, it flashes the "do not disconnect" method, but iTunes doesn't seem to pick up that it's there. Any help?
Thanks in advance.

edited: You already fixed your first issue...
For your second problem:
You have the most recent version of iTunes installed and did you install the full cd that came with your pod? How are you moving the files onto your iPod?

Wifi signal is on, in settings it says its connected, but when attempts at loading anything occur, nothing loads. Iphone works on the ad hoc network, won't be able to get to a wifi spot for her to surf around with for a while

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 the router (or what yo are connecting to)

New iPod won't connect to a computer installed w/ old iPod

I just purchased a new 2nd gen. iPod nano to replace my 2 year old iPod mini. My laptop recognizes my mini fine, but won't even detect my new nano. Why is this? I saw in the other topic that a BIOS update would do the trick, but I updated and the computer still won't recognize. What can I do?
Thanks for your help
Dani

This could be caused by Windows drive letter confusion on your computer. Have you tried assigning your Mini a different drive letter?
Log off of any other users on your computer (and disconnect any iPods that are currently connected to your computer, as well)
Then, put your iPod into Disk Mode, and follow these steps:
1 - Don't plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, connect your iPod to the computer.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
If that fails to get your new nano recognized by your computer, try the steps and suggestions in these links below:
iPod missing in My Computer or in iTunes
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize iPod
iPod not recognzied on a laptop through USB connection
Also, this possibility: Fast user switching on a Windows computer is not supported for iPods
I hope that helps you.

3rd gen ipod won't connect with firewire.

3rd gen ipod won't connect to itunes with firewire. USB connects rarely but drains battery quickly. I've rebooted the ipod and computer and updated itunes. No effect. Any remedies besides buying a new ipod.

Answer to Question 1: - I connected the iPod with the USB, went to Disk Utility and erased the iPod. Now the iPod works with USB.
Question 2 is still unanswered. Ideas?

HI again Andy,
The last message had some more stuff in between the "Hello" and "Regards" - I have no idea what happened to it. But nevermind...
I started up the Mini with the modem in one usb, and the speaker system in the other (M-Audio Sonica Theatre) - I have one of the Minis that have only 2 USB (and one FireWire) ports. The firewire has the external drive connected to it.
So far, as I"m typing this, I AM able to be online and use iTunes simultaneously. (both SaFari and iTunes respond slower than if I was using only one or the other, but they ARE actually working - in addition to having Adium running) - So I think what you suggested ( that is was something wonky was the USB hub) was a correct, yet assessment.
Would you have any reccommendations for USB hubs? The only thing that I have connected to the hub under normal circumstances that would be constantly "running" would be the RadioShark (even though the Radio soft isn't playing - the blue light on the RadioShark is always on) - and the speakers naturally. Everything else is of the occassional variety - iPod Sync Cable, Dual Layer External DVD Burner, and a "pass thu" to the USB ports on my Hard Drive Enclosure (which had been unplugged before the problem was noticed). The hub I current use is the
Kensington DomeHub USB 2.0 (7 ports) Weighted Hub 33118 http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-DomeHub-ports-Weighted-33118/dp/B0002FHENE/ref= sr16/002-4275642-8664817?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187848108&sr=8-6
which (I thought) worked better than the "throwaway" ones I had used previously.
You think it is the hub or something connected to it that may be causing the problem?
Regardless, thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

IPod won't connect more than once

When I plug my iPod into my computer, my iTunes registers and connects and syncs. Perfectly fine. But I want to change some settings on my iPod, such as the album artwork and playlists, and whenever I try to sync it again, my iPod won't connect and my iTunes can't find it, even though its plugged in.
Help?

Typically when only one device can connect to the AirPort base station, it may be because it is not properly configured as a NAT router ... which is its default configuration.
One option is to perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort, and then, try connecting one or more devices to verify that they now all get network/Internet access. Once verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure it per your networking requirements.

My new ipod won't synch or restore

My new ipod won't synch. It comes up need to restore, then can't be restored. Error code 9. Security disabled.

Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
Try a different computer.

10 gig iPod won't connect.....

Greetings
I've changed the original battery from the 1st gen 10 gig scroll wheel, but now the iPod won't connect.
It has lost its charging indicator, but feels warm to the touch. I can still play all the music that is on there, but can't see it via iTunes or finder.
I can see the ipod via the firewire, i.e. about this mac, more info, firewire, shows that the iPod is connected, but has it listed as version 0.0.
I've tried this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 but no joy.
Any ideas from the brains trust?
Cheers

Make sure you have tried a different FireWire port, and shutdown (power off) and restart your computer if you have not done so since having this issue.
You can try a different FireWire cable. If this is a 1st gen iPod, it uses a regular FireWire (400) cable.
Since the iPod is seen (somewhat), does the iPod show up in Disk Utility? If so, use Disk Utility to reformat (erase) the iPod's hard drive in the Erase tab. Make sure the iPod's hard drive (not the volume indented under the sidebar) is selected in the sidebar. Select +Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format type. If that procedure succeeds, run iTunes again and if it is seen now, use the Restore button to install and initialize the iPod's software.
It is possible that when you opened the iPod to replace the battery, you inadvertently disconnected the hard drive. Therefore, the iPod is "seen" by the system, but the hard drive is not. I have also read some reports that if the replacement battery is just a tad too thick, it puts pressure on the hard drive and causes the platter not to spin. So you may want to open it up again, check the hard drive connection, and try it with the back side off.

I´ve forgotten my passcode and my ipod won´t connect or appear in my PC

Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
If not successful, try DFU mode.

My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!

My brand new IPad won't connect to my wi-fi box.

My brand new IPad won't connect to my wi-fi box. I have been entering the required 26-character code (this is in France) over and over, phoning my supplier but to no avail. I have also checked bluetooth connection as some-one suggested in a discussion and its ok. I'm at a loss ! Can anyone help ? Thanks !

Turn Bluetooth off in Settings > General > Bluetooth
Having Bluetooth enabled while using Wi-Fi can cause interference.
Now tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Restart the iPad. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure Wi-Fi is switched on.
