    I have a brand new ipod touch 32gb ipod touch. Upgraded to ios 7. open music app but there is no radio tab to select!!! All online help just says, "just select it".
    I have looked at the "More" part but again radio is not an option.
    Can you help?

    Just wait a bit.  Turn it off, then back on.
    I don't know why, but after the update it doesn't show up right away.
    When it finally does, you will find a red icon on the bottom of the screen, on the left side.

  • Tracking brand new Ipod touch 32gb white

    my brand new ipod touch that wasnt all the way setup was stolen how do I do go about tracking it?

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Big Problem with brand new iPod please help ME!!

    Hi, I just today got a brand new iPod. I pluged it into my computer and put on about 700 songs immediatly. Then, I tried to put video on my iPod. It said it would not do this because it's not the right type of iPod. But it is a 5th Gen. iPod and it can play video. Anyway, I installed the latest iPod updater. Now, it says to install the new iTunes 6.01. So I tried but it says my disk is full. It is not full. Also, do I have to keep my previous "iPod for windows" files that are occupying space on my disk?

    Kenny,
    If you can back your songs up, and you have not rated a slew of them already, it might be a good idea to uninstall iTunes, then reinstall it and use the ipod updater to wipe the iPod. Just make sure you download and install 6.01 before you plug the iPod in. Maybe that will get you past the disk full problem. Just something to try.

  • Horrible battery life with brand new iPod touch 2G

    There is definitely something going on with the battery life on my 2G. I just got a 32GB iPod touch 2G on Wednesday to replace my 32GB iPod touch 1G and the battery life is atrocious.
    I charged it up fully and Fetch/Location Services is disabled. Backlight was set to auto and WiFi was on. I browsed the net for about an hour (no music playing), watched a 6-minute YouTube video, and played five minutes of X-Plane.
    The 20% battery message came up after about an hour and a half of total on time from a fully charged battery. My 1G would have been above 70% at that point.
    Then last night with a fully charged battery, I read a few posts on Apple Insider, played some Solitaire, then put the device to sleep, and awoke this morning to find the battery at 20% with a warning message. I always have WiFi on.
    Now I am using my 2G no different than my old 1G -- I have the exact same usage patterns including WiFi usage, yet battery life is much, MUCH worse. What's going on?

    Fully charge the iPod a few times, then use it until it goes out of battery. Do this 7-8 times, then check the battery life again - new batteries do this often in the beginning.

  • Problems with brand new ipod classic

    I purchased a $245 classic for my son's birthday last week. He opened it, was excited, and went straight to the computer to begin using it. Unfortunately, it did NOT work. I can't really say the problems he was having because he was the one using it. I believe he said that it would not format, and that the computer did not recognize the device as an ipod. He then tried it on his girlfriend's computer and it did not work there either. We called Apple and the representative told us to return it to the store. The store told us that it had to go through Apple (per Apple's orders). We called the same guy back and he said to send it in and they would send us a new one. OK, fine. But now they are saying that it was "undetermined accidental damage" and they will not repair or replace it. The ipod did not work from the moment it was opened!!! I find it quite unfair that we now have a brand new completely unscratched $245 paperweight, and no gift for our son. The website does not give me help with addressing this issue. Does anyone out there have any ideas on who to contact next? The guy we talked to in customer service lied to us twice (first by telling us the store would return it, and second by saying they were just going to ship a new one since he had just opened it). We don't really want to bother with him anymore. Our frustration is unreal. Thanks for any insight you might have.

    I can't speak for Apple, and I don't think we could speak to what your son did with the iPod (as opposed to following the setup instructions which I believe are in the box, and direct you to www.apple.com/ipod/start to install iTunes), as when I turned my Ipod Classic 160GB on, it simply booted up and started working. No "formatting" was required.
    If you have an issue where a vendor promises you a return, then reneges ... turn all your information over to your credit card issuer or bank and ask them to initate a chargeback. That will get the seller's attention.
    That's my $0.02.

  • Having problems with my new iPod touch can you help me a first time user?

    I cannot locate my photos in the iTunes library, I have no problem with the Music entry, is there something I have to do to create a library entry?
    Also I do not get the photo folders only the individual photos in one large file (3500+) good quality but not good for specific look up, again is there anything I need to do to have folder organization?
    I'd appreciate any help that I can get, and would thank any particant in advance

    Hi Kappy. I have located the photo files from the sync to my ipod, by the way I am a Windows XP user, and what is showing is a file called 'ipod Photo Cache' which contains folders which have the photo conversions of what is in my 'My Pictures' folder, this cache folder follows at the end of my photo library content.
    The cache folder files have an extension of .thumb these are conversions for the ipod and appear to change when I delete or modify any photo in my library and to further complicate things these photos (.JPG format) have an intermediate conversion to a (.cpt format)which are contained within my photo library folders. None of this bothers me since I have my photos on the ipod which is of great value to me.
    Thanks for your efforts on my behalf, I will now let this rest and proceed to other new challenges in the ipod world.

  • MB129LL/B Composite AV Cable with my new iPod Touch 32GB to my Samsung TV

    I bought a new Samsung T240HD 24" LCD HD Monitor TV and when I hook my iPod Touch to it with a genuine Apple MB129LL/B Composite AV Cable, the picture is not very good on my tv, matter of fact, it's not even in color. Does anyone have any suggestions? Everything is new except for my cables were an "Open Box" purchase.

    The image on the iPod is only 480 x 320 pixels. If you mirror that onto a giant 24" display, I just can't imagine it looking too good... there just aren't enough pixels there to fill up that monitor's native resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. Essentially every pixel on the display will look four times larger.
    As far as why you're not seeing the color, I am not sure what's going on. I have a 26" Samsung LCD Display... there is an "AV Mode" setting under the "Setup" section of the On Screen Display menu. You have to scroll down to see it and there is an "on/off" selector.

  • Problems with Brand New Ipod Video

    hello!
    I have an ipod video 30G which is only abt 5 days old.
    However, I have experienced some problems with it.
    After I choose the Artist, instead of going to the album selection section, my ipod immediately skips to song.
    For example, I have 4 songs by Daniel Powter. Two of them have the album as "dp" while the other two have unknown albums. I can access the two with "dp" but not the other two. I can only access the other two without album names if i go through Songs selection.
    I have already installed all the latest software. and I have used 3 different USB cables. I have also restored my ipod and reloaded the songs, but the problem persists.
    I hope I have expressed the problem clearly and thank you for your time.

    ok i see what you are saying..
    what you need to do for those songs is give them title names and a alblum name and artist name that will solve that.
    and the reason why you'r ipod skips to the song is becuase you only have that one alblum on you'r ipod at this moment..if you put more alblums by daniel powter then when you go to artist-alblum- you will be able to select which alblum you would like to listin to.
    re-post if thats not clear.

  • Brand new ipod touch 32gb - and I have to pay for 2.0 update ?!!

    Surely this can't be true? ...if so it's outrageous. Just bought the ipod from an apple store in NYC expecting it to work like the ones they have on display.
    Have I just been given old stock?
    Cheers

    hello,
    it has almost been 6 yrs since i 'converted' to mac, leaving the horrible micro$oft world...
    but now i get the impression that Apple is a lot more greedy now...
    i want to buy an iPod Touch too, but i find this 'not logical' to sell the 2.0 update....
    in a way, Apple is saying: "don't be the first ones to buy our things (be it iPod or iPhone) cuz u'll end up paying more than the ones who 'll buy later on at a better price"
    this is something i 've learned through these 6 yrs of my Mac-life...
    Apple should encourage people to be the first ones to buy their products by 'not' practicing these marketing/pricing practices....
    ps: im though happy to still be a proud mac user, and that the OS X is 'cheaper' than Window$...

  • New iPod Touch 32gb stalls after starting sync, error 54, manual synce gets dumped

    I just got this thing at Walmart last Sunday and its been driving me nuts all week! It's the brand new iPod Touch 32gb 4gen. When trying to sync it will start to load music then stall. Sometimes it gives error code 54, sometimes says it cant convert song, cant find song, or just stalls. If I wait anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour it will finally un-freeze and dump everything or say the connection has timed out. I've ran repair on iTunes from control panel, no help. Un-installed iTunes and re-installed it then tried synce, no help. I un-selected everything in the iPod summary so that it wont try to synce when I connect it and selected manual synce. Then I could sync a few songs at a time, but it still stalls after only loading a few songs on iPod. Tried dumping everything out of the ipod and start over, several times, no help. I've been 6 days, all day, every day, and half the nights getting a few songs at a time on this dam thing. I found when it stalls if I turn the iPod off to force it out of iTunes I can then restart iTunes, reconnect the iPod, manually select 15 to 20 songs and drag them to the iPod. A few times I got over a hundred to sync but usually 20 to 30 songs then it stalls. Then I have to do the whole thing over again. I had a little over 1200 songs out of the 1877 songs, 11.28gb, in my music library when the last time it stalled, it dumped everything. 4 or 5 days of manually syncing a few songs at a time, GONE. Just poof, all that work for nothing. The only thing left on it is 92 of the hundred something songs I've bought from iTunes. I'm ready to take a hammer to the dam thing and send it back to Walmart where I got it.
    I'm using a Dell Studio 17 inch laptop that's about 4 yrs old running Windows 7 that I installed 2 years ago. I had a iPod nano 2gb that worked fine with this computer & iTunes untill it died last spring.
    Why do you have it set up so that one little hickup and the dam thing dumps everything thats on it? I cant even stop it from starting to sync when I connect it because I need to see the settings in the summary for the iPod to change the settings, but I cant see that until I connect it, but as soon as I connect it, it try's to start the sync and stalls feezing everything.
    Can anybody help me before this thing drives me completely over the edge!?
    The ColoradoHermit

    I have a older Dell Optiplex desktop computer running Windows XP. I copied the iTunes  folder on my laptop to an external drive and plugged that into my desktop computer. Then connected the iPod Touch to the desktop. For some reason or other the computer thought the iPod was a camera and wanted to know which photo program to open with or for it. I never did get iTunes on my desktop computer to "see" the iPod and had to give up that idea.
    When going into the My Computer or Windows Explorer - which is the one I like to use for working with my files-  when I connect the iPod to my computer in Windows Explorer it will show the iPod. Open that and it shows Internal Storage, open that and a folder with DCIM shows below it, open that and a folder with 860OKMZO on it shows below that, open that and it has the 40 or 50 photos I saved from Facebook. That's it, there isn't anything else shown in its storage. The iTunes on my old Desktop doesn't see the iPod Touch either.
    Even if the iTunes on my old desktop would work with this iPod Touch it wouldn't do me any good. I read in a post that once it is connected to a iTunes Library, if its connected to any other iTunes Library on a different computer it will dump everything that's on it. Which is totally stupid but I think they - iTunes - have it that way so that you cant share your music with somebody elses computer. But that also makes it so I cant manually sync one thing at a time with my own iTunes Library. I tried syncing my music first and after I got some of it on the iPod, in its summary I deselected the music sync and selected the movies or video's so I could manually synce a few to it to see if it would work. Bad move. As soon as I did that it dumped everything that was on it, then said that it could not sync the movies because the files could not be written. HUH? Why a video from YouTube could not be written beats me. But why did it dump all the music?
    The last thing I did with it was put all the options in the summary in iTunes back to default, removed everything on the iPod that was left after its last dump, then disconnected it, closed iTunes, and rebooted my laptop and started over from scratch. Started iTunes, connected the iPod, after iTunes found it I opened the iPod summary, made sure everything except sync photo's was selected, then started the sync function. It immediately listed all the songs and the songs info in light gray under music on the iPod. It only got 2 songs copied, then stalled. I just left it alone to see what it would do. I opened the Windows Task Manager to see what it was doing. Even though the iTunes program appered to be stalled it was using 50% of the CPU. After about 15 minutes it showed a popup window saying the song could not be writen then another saying its connection to the iPod had timed out, then iTunes stalled and "not responding" showed in task manager and at the top of the iTunes window. After 30 minutes I had to force it to close with the Task Manager. By then it was after midnight and had been another 12 hours wasted messing with this thing.

    What battery life are you getting?  Is it short when you are using the iPod? When it is sleeping?
