Please HELP.! I connect my iPOD to PC BUT.. i cannot manage my songs??

Hello.. I restored my iPOD and reinstalled iTunes.. however everytime i connect my iPod the my PC i am unable to manage my songs on the iPOD??? and at the very bottem there is a padlock icon?? how do i take this off?? and no. the hold button is not on ..
thanksssss a million

A lock symbol at the bottom of the screen and grey text when you look at the content and would indicate that your iPod has been re-set to the default "automatically update songs and playlists". If you want to access your iPod directly you just need to change the update method back to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in iTunes Edit>Preferences>iPod.

  • Please help. Since upgrading the new operating system I cannot manage my music through my car

    Please help. Since upgrading to the new operating system, I cannot play my music on my IPhone 4S. I used to use the USB cable and manage my music that way, now it won't even support the auxiliary cord.

  • ITunes is asking for me to enter my passcode when I connect my iPod (3rd Gen) but I cannot enter my passcode in my iPod as it appears to be locked on "connect to iTunes" screen, unless I turn it off. What shall I do?

    I lost my iPod but recently found it, I charged it up fully and then connected up to my latop. iTunes is saying that it cannot connect until I type in my passcode but my iPod is not letting me type in my passcode. I've tried turning it on and off again and resetting it and many other things but nothing seems to work. I'm guessing it's just completely broke is there any way it can be fixed?

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:

  • The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either. HELP!

    The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!

    Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.

  • HELP!!!!...please help me...ipod not working

    my uncle bought me an ipod as a gift for me couple of months ago..and for about 5 months, i was able to upadte songs into my ipod using the MAC OSX...but now, i got a new labtop and has windows XP, i installed the CD and downloaded itunes 7.01..
    then when i connect my ipod with the USB, it reads the following:
    DO NOT DISCONNECT
    and my computer cannot read the ipod...i always have to reset it to listen to my songs, but i cannot update new songs..
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

    OK first see this article...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61672
    One thing to note is that you can format the iPod as FAT32 (Windows format) and it "may" work on your Mac. So one thing you might try is plug it into the Windows machine and follow the directions here...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    Now that it is reformatted for Windows, go into the preferences and click on the iPod and click the box to "Enable Disk Mode". Now, take it and plug it into the Mac.
    It hopefully will show up on your Mac's desktop as a disk drive. You can grab your iTunes folder and drag it into the iPod to copy everything over onto the iPod's hard drive. Eject, move it back to the Laptop, open the iPod as a disk drive, and copy the iTunes folder onto your Laptop. You should now be able to add all your stuff to the iTunes library on that computer.
    Then delete that folder out of the iPod to free up room and then sync the iPod to iTunes on the laptop.

    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.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

    uninstall and reinstall
    there is a complicated way to work with just the mobile device support but its simpler just to uninstall itunes and related components and then reinstall itunes
    ur music will be fine, u will just lose the playlists. but ur mobile device support will be working again.
