Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

mono 8 bit 8k is 64kbps, yes. 8 bits times 8,000 = 64,000 = 64k bits/sec.
And yes I think that's a typo - there's no such thing as 'Mone' that I've ever heard of...
But you might want to check to find out if this is a mu-law non-linear format, possibly - there are several ways that 8 bit 8k wav files can be encoded, and typically phone systems don't use linear ones. If you have a log-in to Zultys' user-base system they have an FAQ there, I believe - the answer might be in that, and it won't cost $500.

Text Messaging stopped working after changing Apple password, although it is still working on my iPhone.a

Text Messaging stopped working after changing Apple password, although it is still working on my iPhone. I tried changing the password in the Settings>Messenger, but can't get it to work. What do I do?

After I type in the message and click on the Send button, "Sending" is displayed, but at the end of this process, a message under the message says "Not Delivered".

Text messages wont send but imessage will

I always have my data off so my imessage runs off wifi, when im speaking to someone on imessage and i turn my wifi off my text messages wont come through but when i turn the wifi on my messages come through but on imessage, why is it doing this? Hope you can help

Parts of what you're saying don't make sense to me, but I'll address what I think you are saying.
First, whether you have your data on or off doesn't matter for SMS text messages, as they do not use cellular data.
iMessages rely on having the WiFi on. So it makes sense that you do not get them when WiFi is off.
It sounds like you are saying you never get SMS text messages. So that would be a cellular carrier issue - make sure you are set up for SMS texting with them.

Text messaging not working on my BB curve 8530

My husband is on the same plan as me, but he has an android phone. I can send and receive text messages from him and myself, however, I can not send or receive text messages from anyone else. I've taken the battery out, updated my phone profile through the blackberry network and don't several other trouble shooting methods.
When I send a text it says that it goes through. When I got my phone I started texting my friends and family and received no response, thinking that everyone was just busy. When I talked to them later they said they never received anything and like wise, they sent me texts that I had not received as well.
I'm on Virgin Mobile and have called them several times now. The first person said that it should be working in 2-4 hours and that he would call me back. 4 hours later, It was not only still not working, but he had never called me back. The next person I called had me do all the trouble shooting that I had already done and then he told me it should be working in an hour. Three hours later it was still not working so I called again, this time I spoke to a lady that had me do all the trouble shooting again and said that she fixed it.. over the phone I texted google to be sure, and sure enough .. STILL DID NOT WORK. She said "oh.. well.. you need to talk to one of our blackberry specialists". After forwarding me to someone, he had me trouble shoot again... He said it should be working in 30-72 hours and that it was a problem with the blackberry network. I'm not sure I should wait 72 hours for it to work... especially when in the past they haven't called me back.
1.) I can still make phone calls
2.) I can text my husband and can receive texts from him
3.) I can access the internet and download and upload files
There is no indication on my phone that the texts are not going through, I get that little check mark by my text messages and everything looks normal.
Is this a simple fix? Is everyone experiencing this problem?

Hello !
Do you have activated BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) Plan on your device?
Kindly check with your service provider.
And if it is activated, then does your plan cover to use any other messenger like Yahoo, Gtalk etc or not.
Hope this resolves your Problem!

Text Messaging Not Working

Salient points:
I'm using a brand new Droid Pro. This phone was provided by ProtectCell after my two-month-old phone experienced a cracked display. It is new, not factory refurbished. My service was working perfectly on my imperfect other phone. (Texts were being received and sent with no problems, it was reading them that was a problem, due to the faulty display.) I took the new phone to the Verizon Wireless store to have it activated and my contacts transferred. I have not been able to send or receive text messages on the new phone. I tried restarting the phone, then removing the battery, and when those didn't work I called customer service and was told there were no network issues in the area, and that my plan correctly showed unlimited texting. They were unable to transfer me to Technical Support because I had no other device on which to speak while troubleshooting. I was advised to try *228 in case of a programming error. That didn't work. I have made sure that my phone is running the most recent updates. I've even downloaded Handcent in case it was an issue with the included software, but it seems SMS is not working at all on this phone. I've verified that people are unable to send text messages to me, and that I am still able to call out and receive calls, so I know that the SMS is the only affected service. I don't know what else to try, or what I have missed, or if my wonderful new replacement phone is faulty out of the gate. Please help, before I tear out my hair.

Lothruin, I am sorry your text messaging isn't working. I understand how frustrating this is and would like to assist you as best as I can. From your post, I show you have performed a lot of the trouble shooting steps we would have performed. The last step would be to ensure your provisioned correctly on your account for text messaging. This will involve speaking with you on an alternate phone. YOu may send me a private message with your name a alternate contact number to discuss and trouble-shoot your issue in more detail.

Why is my text messaging not working

My text loads almost the whole way, and then tells me it failed to send. My phone can make calls and use the internet but wont let me text or iMessage. I have tried resetting the network settings and the hard reset (holding home and lock buttons at the same time). How do I fix this?

I assume you have imessage activated in settings/messages and that you have send as sms turned on there also. Text messages are a carrier feature and I would contact your carrier and ask them.
ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

Text messages not working on Dev Alpha

Hi,
I recently updated my Dev Alpha B device to the latest OS version (10.0.10 Bundle 263), it includes a text messages app and it also includes text messages in the BlackBerry 10 Hub. As far as I can see none of this works, I can compose a message, but when I tap send the app just reverts to it's original state and the message never gets sent, There's no error message. I can't receive text messages either. The rest of the BlackBerry hub works, the phone app also works, so there's no problem with my cell network connection.
Is this a known issue? Will we get an update that fixes this?
Please click the like button if my post helped you! Thank you.

How to make text message notification work without quitting the app

in the text message conversation view, there's only a soft sound alert when new messages are received.
even when the screen is off, you get no popup preview or a regular notification sound whatsoever.
the only way to keep getting the regular notification & previews is to quit the app each time you send out a text.
often times when you are in the middle of something and are unable to focus on the phone itself for the conversation, you forget to quit the message app, then you are totally not aware there have been messages coming in because it only gives you a soft sound alert that's totally unable to hear when you're outside walking, or other similar scenarios.
It's been bugging me for years, it's specially annoying when the other person I chat with isn't aware of this issue and ocassionally misses out my messages.
i mean, if apple insists that to avoid this problem, the users MUST remember to quit the conversation RIGHT AFTER EVERY SINGLE LINE, this is just absolutely unrealistic.
I now do it every time because I'm aware of the issue, but not the other people I have conversations with.
I've had too many situations where I had to wait for a long time to receive response only to find out that the other person wasn't aware the new text messages, because it was simply too soft to hear, and completely no other sort of things to notify you with.
so i wonder if there really isn't a way to change the notification behavior, cuz apparently it's impossible that I make everybody I send text to change their habits just for this.
if anyone knows the answer I'll really appreciate it. thanks

Imessage/Text message not working

My Imessages and text messages will not go through. I have to turn off the phone and restart it the Imessages will then send as a plain text. I am also not receiving any texts. I know this based on the angry phone calls and Instant Messages I am receiving from family and friends asking why I'm not answering them, when I am not receiving anything.. I asked if anyone in my area was having problems with their service on a social media site and got multiple responses from fellow Verizon customers that are having identical issues to mine. I am wondering if this is a service issue and when it will be resolved.

I had this problem too, well after Apple's iMessage service was back up and running. What helped was this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRNzXReLV44 that I found linked on one of the Apple forum threads.
Anyway, short answer: I turned off wifi and then synced with iTunes, and that fixed it immediately. Best of luck to those of you experiencing this problem, I know how maddening it is.
Hope this helps!
