Newbie Help - 5th gen with no stuff!

Hello all - I recently got a 5th gen iPod from a friend that owed me $$ and all i got was the unit (black/silver - 30GB). Besides a charger, headphones, etc - what do I need to join the revolution? I am totally new to this but feel that this iPod is the bees knees. Any help with software, connections, videos, etc? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for helping a newbie out!
New? Windows XP DuLL desktop

Well the main thing you need, besides headphones, is a dock cable to plug the iPod into your computer. You can then put stuff on the iPod with that cable and the cable also charges the iPod from the USB port.
One nice product out there is Griffin's Powerblock which can be seen here...
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerblock/
$30 and can be bought at places like Best Buy. The nice thing about this is that not only is it a charger that plugs into the wall and gives you a standard USB port to charge your iPod and any other USB chargable devices without needing a computer (great for traveling), Griffin was even kind enough to include an iPod USB Dock cable that you need anyway.
In the meantime, if you haven't already, download and install iTunes on your computer and start importing your CD library into it.

Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?

B-rock, thanks for posting the above. I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\. When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message. I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
What am I doing wrong, can you help?
Thank you!

IPod 5th gen with limited storage space due to unknown space used? I don't have anything else loaded, how do I find out what this is?

I have a 5th gen 32gb iPod that I use only for music. Usually I update it via wi fi but it recently updated to the new IOS 8. Now it is saying there is limited space capacity for the music because there is 18.85 gb of used space. I don't have any apps or features on the iPod and all the options such as Siri or App store are turned off. I simply carry it in my car for travel music and use my iPhone for all other business that would need apps/etc.
I reset back to the factory settings and did not link back to the iCloud so it did not "reset" the old copy if it was corrupt. My iPhone has a ton of music plus apps, contacts, etc and does not show this same type of memory usage. Any idea what could be using so much and how to get rid of it??

OTHER
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Extend my wired Airport Extreme (5th Gen) with a 2nd Wired Airport Extreme (also 5th Gen)

I have a 5th Generation Airport Extreme in my house hard wired directly from my fiber optic provider
Then I have that 5th Generation Airport Extreme hard wired directly to my Desktop Computer in a separate building in my back yard (using an Ethernet Cable run through an underground conduit).
Using that setup, I DO get Wi-Fi for my iPhone 4S & iPad 3 in that separate building in my back yard, but it is sometimes so weak, it really is not useable.
To improve the Wi-Fi signal for my iPhone 4S & iPad 3, I plan on adding a 2nd 5th Generation Airport Extreme in the separate building in my back yard.
I will disconnect the Ethernet Cable that is currently plugged directly into my Desktop computer & plug it into the 2nd Airport Extreme.
Then, I will use a short Ethernet Cable to directly connect my Desktop Computer to the 2nd Airport Extreme.
The desktop computer is an older Dell Dimension 9200 running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3
With this set-up, will the strong Wi-Fi signal I now get in my house from the 1st Airport Extreme NOT be reduced?
And since the separate building is only 300 square feet, I assume the Wi-Fi signal there will also be as strong with the 2nd Airport Extreme being so close to everything?
Could someone point me to SPECIFIC instructions on how to CORRECTLY set this up so that the 2nd Airport Extreme will EXTEND my home network?

So, I should unplug the 1st Airport Extreme from the outlet before doing anything?
Yes.
Since the 2 Airport Extremes will be in 2 separate locations, which do I plug into the outlet first?
I would suggest plugging the one in the house first, then the second one in the backyard building. Be sure to connect the Ethernet coming from the first into the second before power-on either base station.
Could I connect the Ethernet both to the 2nd Airport Extreme & then to the desktop, then plug in the current Airport Extreme in the house, then run out & plug in the 2nd Airport Extreme in the separate building?
The key is to leave everything powered-off; connect the Ethernet cables, and then, start by powering up the house unit, then the backyard unit, and then, the PC. Make sense?
P.S. I have the Version 5.5.3 of Airport Utility for Windows (using Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3)
There does NOT seem to be a later version than that.
That worked great for the installation of the 1st Airport Extreme several months ago, so I shouldn't have any problems, should I?
There is a later version (5.6.1) for Windows, but required Windows 7 to run on. Since you can already administer the 1st 5th gen Extreme with the version you have now, you shouldn't have any issues continuing to use it for the second unit.

Shuffle issue using 5th Gen with Ford's SYNC

I'm using a 5th gen iPod in my 2009 Ford Focus with the SYNC system. Almost everything works just as it should, except SYNC's "shuffle on" command. When used with artists, genres, or playlists, SYNC only seems to build a very short shuffle list of some 12-15 songs, which it repeats until I repeat the selection of artist, genre, or playlist. Then a new short shuffle list gets built and played, over and over, etc., etc. SYNC seems unable to shuffle all songs by my prolific artists, in my well-stocked genres, and in my lengthy playlists in one go, unlike my iPod's built-in shuffle setting.
Ford recommended trying SYNC shuffle with the iPod's shuffle setting turned off, then with it turned on. Doesn't seem to make a difference. They're out of ideas for now. Anyone out there have this problem? Have you found a solution? If so, would you share your experience, please? Thanks!

Absolutely have had this issue.
Here's a fix (but I hate it we have to do it this way):
You have to make sure your iPod's volume is turned all the way up. The static will clear. I haven't found a way around this. The Ford system ***** for that reason. Shouldn't have to rely on our iPods running at full volume in order to work. Seems to kill the battery quicker. But hey, at least you'll have clear sound.
Lemme know if it worked for you.

IPod touch 5th gen with OS X 10.5.8

I've recently bought an iPod touch 5th gen but am struggling to get it to sync with my macbook pro, OS X 10.5.8.
I've done some digging around and it seems I will need to upgrade to 10.6.8 in order to sync it. However, I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first, and then to Mountain Lion.
It just seems a bit convoluted and I wanted to check I've got this right, before purchasing 2 operating systems just to be able to sync my iPod!!

All you need is Snow Leopard, which is 10.6.8. That and later OSXs require A Mac with an Intel processor. A Mac with a Power PC processor (G4 and G5) can only go to 10.5.8.

Can you sync an ipod nano 5th gen with more than one computer

Can you sync an Ipod nano 5th generations with more than one computer. One is a Dell with xp operating system and the other is an Mac laptop.

It is possible to sync your iPod with multiple computers, but syncing with different platforms is not supported by Apple. See this article for more details on how to get this set up.

IPod classic 5th gen. with sad face goes into disk mode but wont register in itunes

I have an iPod classic 5th gen. A while ago it stopped working and the sad faced iPod started showing up. i've tried putting it into disk mode but when i do it wont pop up into itunes like it should and as soon as i unplug it the sad face appears again. is there anyway to fix it or is it done?

There is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon. You may find it useful.
The Sad iPod/folder and ! icon.
Btw, there's no such thing as a "4th generation 20gb classic." Your iPod is a 4th gen and not an iPod classic which is a completely different model.

Intel i7 5th gen with z97 gaming 9 ack 1150 socket

hi guy
im wonder to know if i had intel i7-5th generation can i apply on my 1150 socket mobo?, because i had msi z97 gaming 9 ack. as i seen that in the description show it support
MSI Z97 Gaming 9 ACK
Supports 4th and 5th Gen Intel® Core™ / Pentium® / Celeron® processors for LGA 1150 socket
pls correct me im wrong

i7 supported:
Bios 1.0 (all boards have it at least)
i7-4771
i7-4770T
i7-4770S
i7-4770K
i7-4770
i7-4765T
i7-4790T
i7-4790S
i7-4790
i7-4785T
Bios 1.1 (board made after 2014-06-04)
i7-4790K
that is the list of the i7's the board supports for you to look at! the only one that you would need to be weary of is the i7-4790K as the board may need a BIOS update (the reseller may have newer stock or they may be able to flash the board to support that one if needed so ask them if they know if that one is supported)
as you seem to have one already look what BIOS version it has or if its not built into a system whats the serial number (S/N:000-0000-00000000000000 Leave off the last 3 digits) and i will be able to say what BIOS version it has!

NEWBIE HELP - Supress Header with Formula using Parameter

Post Author: Melanie
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,
I am new to CR10, and I am working with it and C#.
I have a report that lists all calls made to a motor vehicle registry agent office after the office is selected from a dropdown on a webpage. I have been asked to make an enhancement whereby the user can select All from a dropdown menu and the report will show all calls for all registry offices. I can do that much and get it to group by the registry agent.
The problem is the header which currently has the Reg. Office Name, Address, City listed on it. If the user now selects All from the dropdown, I just want it to display text "All Registry Offices". Otherwise, I want the name etc...of the registry office selected. I was trying to add a parameter in the code saying if all offices are selected:
objReport.SetParameterValue("AllAgents", 1);
and then in the report, I added a parameter called AllAgents (it showed up in my parameter list). Then I right clicked by the left side of the header, selected Section Expert -> the formula button by Suppressed and typed in this formula:
if {?AllAgents} = "1" then trueelse false
Then when I saved everything, ran the app and try to view the report I get this error:
Server Error in '/src' Application. -
The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

I can see when I go to where the pdf is generated that the pdf was never created. I am lost and stressed out a little bit by this.
Any help is genuinely appreciated!

How can I play gmes on ipod 5th gen with ios 7?

When I open up games center, it gives me a list of games that I have, but there is no way to play them. I have searched the manuals and videos and found no mention of this. Am I just missing something?

A.wolf6, just wondering what you expected to add by posting the same answer as the last two repliers but 14 days later.
I'm sorry for posting so much later but I was looking for something else and happened to see this question. Since I've seen some discussions go on for months I didn't realize there was a time limit for posting a reply.
I don't know if you read the first two replies but they both said it wasn't possible to do what the person wanted to do. They want to launch a game from Game Center and the other two replies said they can only open games by using the icon for the game itself. That's not true and I just wanted to let them know. I have only used iPad and iPhone though so I apologize if my suggestion doesn't work for the iPod but my answer was totally different from the first two replies.
I rarely post anything and only post if I think what I have to offer may be helpful to someone. People like you are the reason I don't usually even bother with these forums. At least my post was relevent to the subject and not just a juvenile jab at a random person, why would you take the time to type that? Even if my answer was the same as the first two, why did it make you so angry that I posted it 14 days later? Maybe I am just a level 1 and you're way up there at level 10 but that doesn't mean you need to be obnoxious. It sounds like you woke up in a bad mood--I really hope your day gets better!

I'm having problems transfering audiobooks to my iPod touch 5th Gen with the latest software upgrade. It combines 2 books under the same title giving me multiple chapters within the single title.

When I transfer audiobooks to my touch, I sometimes get a new book transferred that shows up correctly in iTunes but when I open music on the iPod, I have a single book title with both volumes under it. I end up with 2 Chapters 1, 2 Chapters 2, etc. Anyone else have this problem?

Well, I decided to try working at it from the Windows side because I was getting absolutely nowhere using iTunes in OS X. Strangely enough it just worked like it's supposed to this time when I loaded up iTunes in Vista. (I tried before in Vista, with the same problem occurring).
No idea why it worked... I hadn't even authorized iTunes in Vista to play tracks registered to my iTMS account.
If anyone can offer any help from the Mac side, it would be much appreciated. I only have a few specific reasons for using Vista... would prefer if I could avoid restarting into it just to change a few things on my iPod.

My ipod, shut down and wont charge, and is completely unresponsive, its only a 5th gen with no damage or anything wrong with it.

i was using my ipod earlier today, had it running via auxilary cable to my work radio, and it was working just fine, and when i pulled the cable out, it shut off, and became unresponsive, i tried charging it with multiple different chargers, from cars, to computers and the wall outlets aswell, nothing works. and nothing has ever gone wrong with it, is there anything that can be done?

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Newbie Help - Tab Canvas with Multiple Pages, Arrow to Navigate between

Hi All,
I am developing my first form. It is a page that requires several pages. I have created a tab canvas and put the pages on (there are 10 pages). When i run the form, i can see the first 4 page headers, and cannot see the other headers. Is there a way to have a arrow at the top so i can click on it to move the display so i can see the other pages?
How would this normally be done? What i am after is a similar multi page navigation to that in the assignment screen, or any oracle screen with several pages.
many thanks
Rupz

Hi, thanks for your reply.
If i press F2, a list of all of the pages appear, but i do not get any arrows.
I have a single tab canvas with 10 pages on it. The pages fit on the canvas, but not on the display window. Do i need to modify the canvas in any way to get the navigation arrows to display?
thanks
Rupz
