IPod nano wont update because it says its windows based

My iPod wont update because it says that it is Windows based. I have never used it on a Windows machine.
How do i change it to mac based.

In the restore instructions it says that you need to plug the iPod into a power adaptor during the second stage.
Not really.
Actually it says,
"iTunes will present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
* Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
* Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models)."
You will get Restore Instruction 2.

IPad 2 wont update iOS5 its says err=-3259

my iPad 2 wont update iOS5 its says err=-3259 ive tried everything i looked on all forums for it tried taking off firewall.. updating it thorught internet and i also have the new itunes so thats not an issue

That sounds like it is timing out. Are you using Wi Fi ?

When i try to update iPhoto, it says sign in to the account you used to purchase it

when i try to update iPhoto, it says sign in to the account you used to purchase it and does not update. what can i do?

Did you buy this machine used or "open box" by any chance?
The free iLife suite is tied to the AppStore now and copy protected, so if OS X was wiped off the drive and iLife reinstalled from AppStore, it's registered to the person owning the AppleID that installed it.
Even if the machine gets transfered to a new owner and had a copy of free iLife like other software Apple bundles with OS X, it can't be updated without the original AppleID.
Surprising Steve Jobs said that copy protection won't work when dealing with the music labels, but on the other hand copy protects everything on AppStore instead of by developer choice instead.
There is certainly a case for copy protection in certain cases, but no to the point it's on everything and becomes a problem for everyone.
Your solution to this problem is either use the original AppleID or delete iPhoto and purchase it from AppStore with your AppleID.
Your pictures are stored it the Pictures/iPhoto Library and will remain if you delete the program.
If you wish not to use iPhoto, and need to get your pictures out, right click on the iPhoto Library and "show package contents" ot get to the Origianls folder.
Good Luck

HT4623 It won't let me update cause it says I'm not connected to the Internet when I am

What do I do???

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. You may have many open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign.

I'd first suggest getting a free SIM swap from your provider.
Also, try your mobile network settings at 3G and if the same continues.

Itunes is charging me for something my brother tried to buy, even though I didn't have the money on my account. I can't download free apps or anything cause they say I owe them 36 dollars for something I couldn't even afford.

I was trying to download free apps, and found out Itunes wants to charge me 36 dollars for something my brother was trying to download for his Cartoon Wars game on his ipod. They charged me the money and now I can't do anything because they want the 36 dollars. Need to get these charges taken off so I can use the card again.

Just need to find a way to get a hold of someone who can fix this.

HT4623 my ipod wont update it just says its already up to date with the ios 6?help

anyone know how to update the ipod if the update doesnt come up?

As Apple said in June, only the 5G iPod gets iOS 7
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

HT203167 how can i recover past purchases from iTunes that were bought under my account but were on a different computer that is now dead? I have a new computer but my past purchases are seemingly gone.

I had an old DELL in college and a 120gig ipod. Both the computer and ipod have, "gone to a better place," and now i have a MAC Book Pro and the iphone 4. On my old computer i had bought and downloaded various tv shows, movies, and music from itunes. I am wondering if it is possible to recover those products that I had bought a few years ago and transfer them onto my new computer and itunes account. They are seemingly lost and it bothers me because I bought them and I feel as if they should be mine regardless of having a new computer and iphone. Somebody please help me. thank you

Depending upon what country that you are in (the types of content that can be re-downloaded varies by country), and whether they are still in the store, you might be able to re-download some/all of them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the left-hand side of the iTunes store home page : re-downloading.

Imovie and iphoto wont update

imovie and iphoto wont update because it says i need to sign into the account i used to purchase them, but they were already on my mac when i bought it, what should i do?

This is usually caused by some error with the AppStore receipt used to track your purchases. There are numerous reports of similar problems online. The best solution I've seen (that fixed my issue) is to delete the _MASReceipt directory from your copy of iTunes. This breaks the account lock and allows the app to update.
First make a backup copy of your app (just in case), then Ctrl-click on the icon in the Finder and choose 'Show Package Contents.
From there navigate to the Contents directory, in which you'll see a _MASReceipts directory. Delete this directory (you may need to authenticate to do this).
Once you've done that, relaunch the App Store and check for updates. With luck the update will work now.

Need an iOS update, but it says i have the latest version, please help

I bought two ring tones on my iphone 3. When i tried to buy the third, it wouldnt download because it says i need an updated iOS, i went into itunes and both itunes and my iphone are up to date, at least, that's what it says. It is very frustrating and i wish i knew what to do. It says i am on iOS 4.3.5 and it wont update, it just says that it is the most recent update but my iphone is telling me to purchase anything that i need one.....help please!

thanks a bunch, it would make one **** of a lot of sense if they happened to be updating ringtones and such already considering it is only 10 pm where i live and they are probably a few hours ahead of me......i shall wait and see......

My Apple ID changed and now my apps wont update

Recently my Apple ID was changed from chunkster92 to [email protected] Now my apps wont update because they are looking for my original Apple ID of chunkster92.
When I look at the info block on the apps they indicatre that they are linked to an Apple ID of chucnkster92. Apple wont let you have tan ID thats not an email address anymore. So when the apps are trying to update they are looking for my old account of chunkster92 and not the account name format as Apple wants now of [email protected]
When I look at the apps page in iTunes and selct "all" apps at the top of the page, it indicates at the bottom of the page available. When I try to update the apps the next screen says that there or no updates available. I'm signed into iTunes as [email protected] and not chunkster92 which is the account the apps are looking for.
Short of deleting all 230 apps (I know, I could reduce that number some) and reloading them, how do I change the apps to look for [email protected] or reestablish my old ID of chunkster92?
many thanks,
chunkster92

IPod iTunes is up to date but my iPod wont update all songs???

The fact that Apple wants me to pay $50 for one incident...enough said! Sorry, I'm better now. So I have a legacy issue. iTunes version and iPod software versions are up to date but when I look at "My iPod" through iTunes it does not show all songs synced to my iPod?? Essentially my iPod is locked and grayed out and wont update new songs I have bought from iTunes. There is even a little lock at the bottom of the iTunes page "within" my iPod.... I cannot seem to unlock it and it is not because the iPod is physically on hold. Huge bummer - hugely annoying and Apple help desk wants $50 to tell me whats wrong with their product...

I've just started having a very similar issue. My iPod (20 GB dock connector, touch wheel with the four buttons above etc.) crashed for about the third time, wiped out all the songs on it and crashed iTunes each time I connected it to my Mac. In the past I have just loaded the iPod Updater again to re-install the software and start from scratch so I did this again. However, this is the first time I have done that after upgrading to iTunes 6 and I used an old iPod updater that I had previously downloaded (2005-03-23).
Everything seemed normal except none of the music I have purchased from iTunes will copy across to the iPod, error message = "some of the songs...were not copied..because your iPod software is too old. Go to...to get the latest iPod software update." I downloaded 2005-10-12 but it doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help?
With the updater I have just run the .dmg which opens the volume and then I've run the .mpkg. Do I need to do anything else?!?!?

Angry birds wont update

Sounds like you're not signed into the app store using the same apple id you used to purchase it in the first place.
If you are, you'll need to contact Apple for assistance.
