Push a message to the iPod device

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to 'push' an informational dialog to the iPod device?
I was thinking about a text message - but that would require wifi connection
and, currently the only connection is only through iTunes and the USB cable.
SO.... can a PC application send a bluetooth message to the iPod and have it display a message?
Does anyone else have any ideas on how to have a message displayed on the iPod?
thanks
tony

Yes, APDS can do 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!

  • My 160MB iPod Classic won't sync from iTunes.  This is a recent problem.  The error message is "The iPod cannot be synched.  An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that music will sync but photos will not.  Current software on Mac and iPod.

    My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes.  This is a recent problem.  The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched.  An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync.  I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes.  HELP! J

    First try to resolve #2 by:
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
    If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

  • HT201413 I am receiving a message saying the iPod "TRACER's iPod" can not be synched. The required file can not be found. I ran the iTunes program repair and restarted both the computer and the iPod. Any suggestions on what else to try?

    I am receiving a message saying the iPod "TRACER's iPod" can not be synched. The required file can not be found. I ran the iTunes program repair and restarted both the computer and the iPod. but still receive the same message. Any suggestions on what else to try?

    That can sometimes be caused by a damaged ipod photo cache.
    If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
    For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:

  • HT1386 How do I sinc my ipod to my laptop?  It is not doing it automatically as it has in the past.  I am only getting a "do not disconnect" message on the ipod.

    I cannot get my ipod to sinc with Itunes.  All I am getting is a "do not disconnect" message on the ipod. 

    Hello, PWSample. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would suggest a reset to see if you are able to dismiss this message and process a sync.  Here is the article on how to process a reset.

  • ITunes error message (-50) The iPod "[name]" could not be synced...

    To clarify the message
    -50 The iPod "[name]" could not be synced. An unknown error has occured
    This happens to me all the time AFTER I sync all data onto my iPod. Everything syncs on it, and then at the end, it displays the error. Even though all data is on it. This just happened now that I updated iTunes to 8.2 and put the iPhone OS 3.0 (iPod version) on my touch

    13019 appears to be related to Voice Memos. Remove (don't delete) all the voice memos then reimport them (they'll be in a "Voice Memos" folder in your "iTunes Music" folder) and you should be in the clear.

  • Yesterday i made some purchases in itunestore. the download went well. till the synch of itunes with ipod. some of the downloaded music did noch synchronize. the message was: the ipod does not support the file format (mp4). strange, right?

    Yesterday 20 november I have made some purchases in Ittunestore. The download went well. Till the synch of itunes with ipod. Some of the downloaded music did noch synchronize. The message was: the ipod does not support the file format (mp4). Strange, right? All the rest of downloaded music items has been synchronised without any problems. What may be the problem?

    For music files purchased via the iTunes Store, Apple has used the following file extensions -
    .m4a unprotected AAC format music files
    .m4p protected AAC format music files
    .m4b protected Audio Books
    .m4r unprotected ringtones in AAC format
    As you can see Apple have never used .mp4 for music files via the iTunes Store.
    For videos Apple use .m4v and these are in H.264 format.
    You could try changing the file extension to .m4a, first then see if it plays on your computer and then try re-synching it.

  • Remove the ipod device from the account

    remove the ipod device from the account

    Is it an old account of yours, or did you buy the device from another person ? If you bought the device from somebody else and it's linked to the previous owner's account then you will need to contact the previous owner, he/she is the only person who can remove it : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    If it's your account and you can't remember your id (you can't remember an account id that you've had starting with a gmail.com email address, starting with 'e', as its primary email address ?) and/or password then have you tried the http://iforgot.apple.com link ?

  • Error message help: "The iPod "CKK's iPod" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."

    I get this error message when trying to sync my iPod Touch, "The iPod “CKK's iPod” could not be synced because the sync session failed to start."  I have done the restore on it, but still get the message...

    Just made one very simple move without having to restore iPhone or reinstall iTunes..
    1st step:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 *Read 'in my case' in here first before following this link*
    Follow that link to restart (or if necessary) reinstall your Apple mobile device support.
    In my case, Leave iPhone connected all the way. I first exit iTunes. Then i stopped the Apple Mobile device support (by following a part on that link above in step 1) which Effectively made my iPhone undetectable on itunes but discoverable by windows as a 'camera device'. Then while device is still connected, i started the Apple mobile dev support again. Now i open itunes and there my iPhone re-appears.
    2nd step: After your iphone re-appears on iTunes, press Sync and all is well...
    P.S, Mine is iPhone 4 running on iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, Windows 7..

  • TS1538 My ipod classic is sometimes recognized by itunes and a message that the ipod was corrupted and would need to be reset.

    I have an ipod classic 120gb.  The other day it just       quit working after I downloaded an ebook to it.  I have tried 3 different computers with 3 different operating systems (Windows 7, Vista and XP) and I have received the same response from all after I hooked up my ipod to itunes (running latest version).  The message comes back that the ipod has been corrupted and needs to be reloaded.  I downloaded the software and it appears to be loaded onto the ipod as I get a message back that it is restarting the ipod.  However, after this "restart", it just appears to die and is never recognized by itunes.  I do a safe disconnect from Windows, closed itunes and bring it up again, but it does the same thing. The ipod does show up in my Windows control panel.  
    I feel like I am lost in some continuous vicious loop, any suggestions out there?  Thanks....

    You may refer to this tutorial, it's about how to fix iTunes sync problem with iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • ITunes keeps providing a message that iPod is currupted.  I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message that the iPod is currupted.

    iTunes keeps giving me the message that my iPod is currupted.  I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message.  What's weird is that my iPod will connect to another PC and that my PC will connect to my daughter's iTouch.  Any ideas?  My iPod was working with my PC for years and just started getting this error.

    According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
