Quick (and possibly simple) iPod migration question...

Currently I am the proud owner of a first-gen iPod Touch 8GB, but I'm looking at upgrading to a second-gen Touch or possibly an iPhone. My question is, if I get a new device, will I be able to sync and use all the apps I have now on my 1st-gen Touch with the new Touch or new iPhone? And will they retain all the settings they had?
Also, a bit of a side question, but does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do with my current Touch once I upgrade, besides sell it?

I only speak from experience using the iPhone that I own. I own a first Gen and Second Gen. And I use the same PC to transfer and sync music and apps between both of them daily.
Obviously though this may not be the same results for the touch But I do not see how this would be much different as the touch is pretty much like iPhone minus the cell part. Again the only thing I am not 100% sure about is if the data from each app will carry over to new touch. But if first touch has been backed up like iPhone's can. Then you can connect the new touch and hopefully restore a backup file from first gen touch to it. Keep in mind it may prevent this if the 2nd gen has outdated software. So it may need to be updated before you can restore a file to it.
Happy Holidays post back if you need more help from the community. Also remember you can get email support from iTunes Store related questions if needed below.

Had to do hard wipe and reinstall of os and all apps, ipod/itunes question

had to do hard wipe and reinstall of os and all apps on my computer. itunes included. what will happen if i plug my nano in since the new itunes is empty? will it wipe my nano?

Hello stephaniern,
Since you reformatted your computer and re-installed the OS, your iPod will not recognize the new library because it will still be associated with the older one. When you plug in your iPod nano, iTunes will tell you the iPod is synced with another library, and will ask you if you would like to "Erase and Sync." Otherwise, yes, everything on your iPod will be wiped off.
If you did not have your iTunes library backed up, there are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

Lastly, as stated you will need to re-authorize your computer to play any iTunes purchases. Since it's the same computer you originally authorized, I would check out this Apple support document to take care of this issue so you do not have two authorizations on the same machine.

Simple iPod Sync Question

If I delete something I've uploaded into the iPod from my iMac, will it automatically delete it from my iPod next time it's syncs?
I have a TV show that I downloaded on the iMac, uploaded it into the iPod, and now I want to delete the show off of my iMac's HD? If I do so, will it get deleted off of the iPod because I don't want it to.
(It's a 5th G 60GB iPod)
Thanks.

If the iPod is set to Auto update, it will get deleted.
Set it to Manual update to not delete it off the iPod.

Two possible simple Unity Connection questions.

Hi guys,
Would an upgrade install fail on a MCS7835I3 if it has more than the minimum amount of required memory? The upgrade version requires 6 GB and I have 8 GB in this device.
Do the same license files need to be installed on the subcriber that are installed on the publisher? I have 5 license files on the PUB and only 1 on the SUB and it is the SUB that is failing.
These are the only two things that I can think of as to why my upgrade from 8.0 to 8.6 keeps failing. I even had TAC today perform the upgrade for me and it failed for them too.
Thanks,
Tracee
PS...any of you guys ever seen this?

Dear
here is a guide which will help you
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/administration/guide/8xcucsag310.html
##When a Cisco Unity Connection cluster (high availability) is configured, two licenses are required because licenses are not replicated. The license that has the MAC address or license MAC of the publisher server must be installed on the publisher server. The license that has the MAC address or license MAC of the subscriber server must be installed on the subscriber server. For details on installing license files, see the "To Install the License Files" procedure.
#Note Either or both Connection servers in a cluster can be installed on virtual machines.
The license on each server includes the parameter that sets the maximum number of voice messaging ports for that server. The license on only one server (typically the publisher server) includes all other applicable parameters (such as the maximum number of voice messaging users and voice message recordings longer than 30 seconds), which are enabled on both servers in the Connection cluster.

Is this possible - connect ipod to my macbook and play

This is one thing I always end up wanting/needing to do, but thanks to DRM I don't think it's possible. But maybe there is a third party hack.
I'm on the road with 2 ipods (mine and girlfriends). THey contain all my music. THey are synced with my Mac Pro at HOME. I am on the ROAD with my MacBook and iPods. I'm in a hotel and need to play ipod on speakers. There is no inputs on the stereo here and I don't want to lug around speaker every where I go.
I want to hook my Mac Pro synced iPods to my MacBook, sync TO the MacPro replicating what I have on there, and play. OR connect via USB/Firewire the two, and play on iPod but output top speakers on my MacBook.
How can I do this, what seems to me, a simple thing. Crimminy!
Thanks!

For the first issue, instead of jacking directly into the stereo with no jacks, how about an iPod FM transmitter that you can then play your iPod through any FM receiver?

A Variety of iTunes 7 and ipod 5g questions...

I've recently purchase a new 5g 80gb iPod. (replacing my 60gb photo). I installed iTunes 7 with a fresh installation of windows xp. Copied all my music back on to my new iPod without to much trouble. but....
Registering:
It asks me to register my iPod every time i plug it in. When i log into my apple id, it brings up my addy info. I live in Canada and changed it to the correct country, but it won't recognize my postal code. No matter how i put it (with a space, without a space, capital letter, lowercase). The error i get is at the top is "The postal code you entered is not valid for [?]" It's not a huge thing, just annoying. So i registered my iPod through the apple website, and it still asks me to register. I've clicked "Never Register" and it still asks me... Annoying.
Sound Check (in iTunes, not the headphone check one on the iPod):
If sound check is on, does it alter the audio files in your library in anyway or does it just adjust the volume within iTunes? If sound check is on, does it anyway affect how the audio plays on your iPod? (ie automatically adjusting the volume) If i installed iTunes 6 with sound check, formatted my computer (my documents and my music are on a separate harddrive) installed iTunes 7 with sound check off, will the audio files somehow still have sound check on? (this question is answered if sound check doesn't alter the audio files) I don't normalize my audio when it's ripped b/c most normalizing programs cause the quieter tracks to be unproportionate to the other tracks. (more obvious in live recording when the crowd noice jumps from track to track). Since i've started using my new iPod, i notice that some tracks seem to have been normalized somehow and causing those effects like the crowd noice jump.
Gapless:
With iTunes 7, the option to whether tracks are part of a gapless album is now available. Does this mean there's true gapless support for the iPod? This is feature number 1 on my iPod wishlist (and many others) and my iPod "why the f**k have they not done this yet?" I've tried playing around with a bunch of albums and tracks, and sometimes it feels like gapless and other times not at all. Goddamnit apple, WHY will you not release proper full support for gapless?!
Album Art:
If you set iTunes 7 to automatically download album art, does it embed the image in the music files like when you add them manually? I copied an album to my roomates computer which had iTunes apply the artwork, but on my roomates computer, it showed up in iTunes without the album art.
Volume 60gb 5G vs 80gb 5G:
My roommate bought the 60gb video last winter, and i've done a comparison with the same song and headphones, has anyone else notice or if this is true, but my roommates max volume is louder then my 80gb video. We though it might have been apples attempt to extend the battery life. Also that and the max vol limiter in the iPod settings might have something to do with the lawsuit. (this is all speculation on our part)
Thank you for the time and patiences. I'm your typical newb so if you have some links, faqs, whatever to point me in the right direction.

i'll have a go at this one:
Registering:
It asks me to register my iPod every time i plug it in.
with that symptom, it's worth checking on this possibility:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Possibly a very basic question but I have set up a spread sheet in Numbers and have viewed help videos but I can't get it to give me sums for the columns I highlight. Keeps coming up with the figure zero. I have version 09 2.3(554). Can anyone help

Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution. I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow. The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet. I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.

Hi Sohojools,
To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
Type this in a cell below your data:
=SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
=SUM(
and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Ian.

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I kno...

I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on. To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter. That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin. If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password. That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

Help -- iPod Nano loses charge quickly and won't start up

When I don't use the iPod for a few days and then try to start it up, it won't turn on at all. The only way I can get it to work is to connect it to the computer. It also seems to lose its charge quickly. I sent it back to have it checked out and I was told it worked fine, but I continue to have the same problems. I'm stuck. Any suggestions? Would Restore help?

A restore may help.
How are you trying to turn it on though?

Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, formatted it first. Have tried starting it with every possible key and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor.

Hard disk in mums macbook failed, bought a new one, used sata adapter cable to format it for mac first. Connected it and have tried starting it with every possible key combination and I either get flashing question mark folder or a cursor. A disk is stuck in it so I can't boot from OSX, and yes I have tried every option of starting to try and eject disk but none work. HELP ME!

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
If you have a 2010 MBP or later, then you can use Internet Recovery. Start by rebooting the computer. At the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION-R keys until a Globe appears in the upper part of the screen. This process can take upwards of 15 minutes to get connected to the Apple network servers. You should eventually see the utility screen of the Recovery HD. You may now go about the process to install Mountain Lion:
Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Is it possible to sync my ipad music with iTunes on my Mac BookPro to load most of my music taking the 128KB option and then turn on iTumes Matck on my iPad. way the transfer of my music to my iPad is quicker and I will have the option to download

Why does my iPod touch 4 battery die quick and charge quick?

When i use my ipod the battery dies quickly and as soon as i put it on charge it charges fully in less than 15mins

If you charge for four or more hours how long does a full charge last?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
