Question about preparing iPod for selling on eBay

Hello. I am selling my 3G iPod on eBay to help pay for my 5G iPod. I am going to restore the iPod s/w to remove my files. Do I need to do anything else before I sell it? I know a computer would need to be "deauthorized", but is there a similar procedure for the iPod itself?
Thanks for any assistance. I'm just trying to make sure I have my bases covered. (And my apologies if I missed this in a previous post - I performed a search before posting but may not have had the right search terms.)

All you need to do is restore the iPod back to its factory settings.

Questions about Feature Licenses for 1800, 2800, 3800, 2900, 3900 series ISRs

Hey all,
I have a question about feature licensing for Cisco ISR 1800, 2800, 3800, 2900 series. I know there are differences between all of the series. My main question which applies for all the Cisco ISR series is this:
"If I want to upgrade the IOS to a newer version and upgrade from the basic feature set, do I need to get a license from Cisco? "
If yes:
And if so, how do I go about purchasing a license? Is a support contract needed?
Again, I need to know for each Cisco ISR series. I'd appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
John

You probably want to reach your SE/AM about this so they can explain you exactly how this works, maybe some sales material, or you can also reach pre-sales.

Preparing ipod for restore then error 1603

I've been trying to update my ipod touch 4G for 3 weeks. I download ios 5.0.1 and then tried to restore it manually. First i got the error 3194 and 2005. I tried changing host files, putting in DFU mode, using fixrecovery and so on n then those errors disppeared. But now everything's running smoothly until 'Preparing ipod for restore'. As soon as it starts, ipod went into recovery mode and that preparation stage would last around 4 mins and error 1603 or 1604 appeared. It's been going on for a long time and i find no solution. Plus i want to know if ipod normally goes into recovery mode when restoring cuz i've put it into DFU mode already.
My current ios is 4.1 and i m running window 7. Somebody pls help me?

Did you try:
Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). 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 error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone 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.

Questions about the ipod camera connector...

Hi,
i got some questions about the ipod camera connector.
1)Is the camera connector compatible with the Sony camera DSC-P93A ?
In fact, this camera got PTP protocol.
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) Oui
Marque PIM (Print Image Matching) Oui
PictBridge™ Oui
So, do the camera need to have the three following protocols to be compatible with the camera connector ?
=>Mass Storage, PTP, and Type 4
Or maybe does it need only one of it??
2) Is it compatible with a USB memory card reader?
Thank you

Wel, if i've right understood what you said, my camera is compatible because it got PTP protocol ?
That's weird, cause i wrote a mail to sony to ask them about the compatibility of my camera, but they answered that it wasn't. But of course, i'll prefer to believe you than them !

Question about the "iPod radio remote"

I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
Someone that has one can perhaps answer
Cheers
Ray

I can at least answer some of the questions.
The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
displayed on almost all radio stations such as
Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
"USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
There are three settings for the radio which you
choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
No, there is no AM radio.
You can plug headphones into the remote or the
headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
I'm not sure I understand your question about the
bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
via the dock connector.
There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
radio/remote is connected as they use the same
connector.
Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
will of course depend on where you use it. I've
used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
dropping to mono.
Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
(after you do this a radio function appears in the
menu), and some users have found that doing this
screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
course there will be those who disagree.
iPod
Radio/Remote Review.
Thank you for the reply.
Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto
Cheers

3 Questions about the iPod.

If my work gave me a 30gb iPod video, does it have the one year warranty? and will it work if I purchase the Apple Protection plan for it (2 years)? If it worked, do I send it report for service and send it directly to Apple (after they send the package to put it in)?
Also, when I am listening to some songs, when it is aobut 3/4 done, it skips to the very end then freezes, then waits about a minute then plays the next song, and it will happen over and over. - It does this on the same songs over and over.
Also, some of my songs on iTunes are in the correct order (track number, album number, etc.), and they are out of order on my iPod. How can I fix this error?
My main question is the first one, but since I was asking questions, I went ahead and asked the other two questions also.
Thanks for your help!

A Fifth Generation iPod refers to the 30GB, 60GB or 80GB iPod with video.
1. If your current MP3s were not purchased from some other online store and are not copy protected they'll work with your iPod
2. Around 2000 depending on song length and file format. The advertised song capacity of iPod is based on 4 minute songs encoded in AAC (MP4)format at a bit rate of 128 kbps. Longer songs and songs encoded at a higher bitrate or in uncompressed formats take up more space. You'll get a similar number if you MP3 are that bit rate or lower, the figures are pretty approximate.
3. You won't be able to use Firewire to update, only to charge. USB 1.1 will be signigicantly slower that USB 2 but if you can live with that should work ok.

Question about normal ipod usage

Hey, probably a stupid question guys, but I'm new to using a hard disk MP3 player and I've noticed when I have my ear right up against the back of my ipod video and I change songs and the such, it makes not such a scratching noise, but very quick clicking noises. Its probably just the noise of normal hard drive operation, but I figured I'd play it safe with my 500$ investment and check it out with you guys first. Also, in a proper case, are these things OK to go jogging with? Or will that fatigue the hard drive?
Ipod Video 5.5G 80GB Windows XP Pro

As for jogging, yes, any type of good case will
suffice, just make sure it holds it securely. I
remember hearing somewhere in these forums that the
iPod has something like 25 minutes worth of skip
protection, so unless you're throwing yourself down
the side of a mountain, you should have no difficulty
enjoying you're music while you run. I trail bike
with my 30GB iPod, and have never run into any
problems. I use the Speck ToughSkin and it works
great for me.
Completely disagree here. Sorry.
From my personal experience...
I run 6 days a week 45 minutes each day. Last year I ran with my 30GB iPod every day. I destroyed it. It had a hard drive and I think I shook all the parts around. Eventually, my iPod began freezing and pausing for no reason. I had to stop running just to reboot it. There were more than a few times that I lost all my music on my iPod. Luckily, I was able to get my music back after loading it up from iTunes when I got home.
Then one day, the spin wheel stopped working. I couldn't do a thing with my iPod. Earlier in the day, I had to reboot it and I lost all my music. No problem I thought. When I got home, the music from iTunes couldn't be loaded into my iPod. I lost all of my music.
I took it to the Apple Store and they asked me if I run with it. They do not recommend running with an iPod unless it has a flash drive. I bought a new 30GB iPod and a 4GB nano. I only run with the nano cuz of it's flash drive.
It took about a year for my 30GB iPod to fall apart. The destruction happened slowly but rest assured that it will eventually happen. Invest in a flash drive iPod or run without music. Your final option would be to buy a new hard drive iPod every time it falls apart. The choice is yours.
Yes, the clicking you hear is normal

Several questions about iCloud & iPod touch

I have several questions regarding iCloud which I just started using yesterday.
So far most of my music has been uploaded, but many songs say that "an error occurred" so they were not able to be uploaded. 1) How can I get these songs to upload/try again? 2) These songs are currently on my iPod touch. I haven't configured my iPod for iCloud/iTunes Match yet for fear of losing the music that is already on there. If something from my desktop was unable to be uploaded, will it be deleted from my iPod when I set up my iPod for iCloud/iTunes Match?
3) I have purchased music with my iPod but not synced it with a computer. Will that music be lost if I start using iCloud on my iPod? Will it be uploaded to the cloud so I can access it on my laptop and desktop (which are both Mac products and set up with iCloud)? I no longer connect my iPod to a computer because the laptop it was connected to and had all of my music on died and my new one doesn't have enough storage. My desktop is old and has my older music collection and I fear losing all of the music that is on my iPod (that I don't have anywhere else). I hope that iCloud will help me with all of this- please tell me that it will! 5) I accidentally downloaded half of an album to my iPod and half to my laptop. Will iCloud allow me to have the whole album on 1 device? Thanks so much!

Lots and lots of questions
The new Photos app in OS X should address much of this - it greatly simplifies syncing stuff across machines. Apple has details on it up here:
https://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
It says "coming this spring" and a pre-release version has already been made available to developer testers.

Question about buying Applecare for iPod online

When I purchased my iMac I purchased Applecare from my dealer, getting the little red box to bring home, and later I registered the Applecare online successfully.
Now I wish to purchase Applecare for a 5G iPod that is nearing it's 1 year anniversary. Because of timing I thought I would go to the online Apple store and purchase it that way. Proceeding through the steps, however, it looks like I can just order it online and have the little red box shipped to my home (for later online registration.) That worries me in case the package doesn't arrive in time to meet the requirement to do this within the first year.
Is there no way to purchase online, pay with credit card, and be sent to the online registration area immediately, without waiting for the little red box? (My dealer is out of Applecare boxes at the moment.)
20" Intel Core Duo iMAC Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks again, Chuck
I am still having trouble with this. First, I am in Canada so go to the equivalent Canadian Apple web site and it is laid out slightly differently.
So I followed your steps to see how the US site differed and didn't see a "sale" graphic but instead a "save" graphic. (I assumed that's the one you meant) so I followed that path and indeed did find the Applecare for iPod link. I started to go through the steps there, but as far as I was going it looked exactly like what happens on my Canadian site where it ends up asking me for the shipping address and my Visa number and I get to chance to register directly.
But the local dealer that I use, has some coming in this week and will hold one for me, which should be in time. If something happens to delay that shipment there are other dealers in town I can try as well.

Question about preparing CMYK colours for print

hey guys, Im preparing some artwork in CMYK to go on a CD cover
on the printers site they say that if you have up to 400% colour (so 100% in C,M,Y, and K) it can get too thick and start cracking and falling off.
"We recommend that you stick to a total of 230% wherever possible for any colour (i.e. the combined % of C, M, Y, and K add up to less than 230%)."
now I notice in my image the black areas are indeed up to 400% ink, is there a way I can reduce the colours correctly so nothing goes over 230%, without losing my lighter colours or blacks? thankyou

But black ink by it self should suffice.
Mainly for text and cartain graphic elements, in my opinion, or in completely b&w compositions.
Additionally it might cause registration issues when black objects overlap colored elements.
Spaciousmind, please provide a screenshot or lores of your layout, so that we can provide relevant advice.
And how did you arrive at 400% Total Area Coverage (TAC) in the first place?
Basically I would recommend
• to edit photographic and painterly images in their original RGB-spaces (which can be contained as Smart Objects in CMYK-files) and
• create only graphical and text elements in the seprataed CMYK-file.
230% TAC seems very low, as for example newspaper print requires that low a number (and probably some other processes that are not offset-print).
Please ask your printer to specify their CMYK-space by way of an ICC-profile.
Edit: By the way, even if the printer should provide an ICC-profile simply converting your CMYK-file to that will probably not be the best way to go.

Question about multiple ipods on one computer

I set up my own ipod nano on my computer and I have been using it without problems for some time. Now someone else in my family got the same ipod nano. I do not know how to set up this new ipod. Do i use the same software already on my computer? Do i just register this new ipod? Please help. Thank you

Hello!
Let me explain this in detail for you:
The Do Not Disconnect screen
It is normal for your iPod to say this message to you when you connect it to your computer.
When you need to disconnect it from your computer, you'll first need to eject it.
There are a few ways to eject your iPod; through iTunes, the Safely Remove Hardware program, and "My Computer".
Through iTunes
Ejecting your iPod via iTunes depends on what setting your iPod is on for.
Connect your iPod. Go into Edit> preferences> iPod. See what setting your iPod is on; "automatic" or "manual".
Automatic
If you aren't restoring, or updating your iPod, iTunes should automatically eject your iPod from iTunes. If it doesn't, then right-click the name of your iPod in iTunes, and make sure that the "enable for disk use" is un-checked.
Manual
If you need to eject your iPod from iTunes if the setting is "manual", click the little arrow that's next to the name of your iPod in the left source list in iTunes.
Through the "Safely Remove Hardware" program
Look at the bottom-right corner of your screen, and there's the system tray icons there. If the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon is there, click on it, select your iPod, and click "stop".
Through "My Computer"
Go to "My Computer".
Find your iPod's listing there (it's typically "E:" or "F:").
Right-click it, click on "eject".
For additional information about ejecting your iPod, check this Apple Support articles about it.
Safely disconnecting your iPod
About the "Do Not Disconnect" and "OK to Disconnect" screens on iPod
Any more questions? I'll be glad to try to help you again.
