you might be getting a Windows drive letter confusion here. for troubleshooting advice on that possibility, see the following document:

    The iPod backup that iTunes makes includes Notes.and other app data. However, it does not included synced media like apps and music.
    Thus, just restore from backup with all your synced media in your iTunes library.

  • SAD IPOD ALL THE TIME

    I brought it to the store which couldnt do anything with it. I sent it in only to find it returned unfixed - apparently they couldnt get it to be a sad ipod. When I rec'd it I immediately tried to use it - SAD IPOD. Then I was on the phone for an hour with Apple and when I hit menu it went from Sad Ipod to the menu. I thought it was fixed. Maybe self healed. Then I hung up and tried to use it. Back to Sad Ipod. I cannot use it at all.
    Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? I know I'll have to send it back - any ideas as to how to get them to actually fix it this time? Is there a way to escalate problems with repairs?

    Hello there,
    Unfortunately it sounds like your iPod might have given up the ghost.
    The ticking noise sounds a bit disturbing - and may be the result of a hardware issue - the iPod hard drive may have failed. The Pod should only make a noise when the drive spins up to load music, and/or when it is connected to the computer.
    Have you tried running Windows ScanDisk on the iPod drive? Since you've already set it to Disk Mode, you can right click the drive in My Computer, Properties, Tools, Check drive for errors.
    Windows ScanDisk can usually diagnose and identify hard and soft problems with the Pod disk, and will try to correct them.
    Feel free to post back if you require any further assistance - let us know how you get on...
    Kind regards,
    Gopha.

  • If I restore my iPod 4th generation to its factory settings, will iOS 6 still be installed?

    I mistakenly updated my iPod to iOS 6 and I wanted to restore it hoping it would downgrade back to iOS 5. Soo if I restore my iPod 4th genartion, will iOS 6 still be installed?

    No, it would not revert to iOS 5. Restoring only means removing your personal settings, apps and other things. it would not downgrade the iOS version.

  • I am unable to scroll on my ipod all the time

    Just out of the blue I can not scroll through anything. And I can't get rid of the voice control or triple tap!!!

    You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

    Safari crashes all the time. Safari settings reseted - no positive result! Mostly, when zooming into the web page.
    Dear Apple, when are you going to fix this annoying faulty Safari app?
    I am not alone with this fault, please read your own Apple forum! Or just google it....
    By the way, response appreciated!

    Just posting to second this and also mention that the problem is not limited to iPad Air.  I definitely have it on my iPad Air, but have also had it on iPhone 5 and iPad 2 ever since "upgrading" to iOS 7 over two months ago.
    APPLE, PLEASE FIX THIS NOW!!!

    Plug the device into a wall outlet and leave it for about 20 minutes. If it has not powered on at that point try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for about 15 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

  • HT1977 I purchased a game on my ipod touch. I restored the device to factory settings last night and when I synced all the apps back, the game is now in the demo version. How do I unlock it ? I hope I don't need to pay for the full version again.

    PES 2012 is no longer available in the US App Store and only on the British App Store currently.

    That (an app no longer available) happens sometimes.
    Your only way is if you have the appt on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case move it to your iTunes library and sync.

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
