TS1814 I use my iPhone as an iPod touch now that I have an iPhone 4G. I can no longer get my computer to recognize my 3g. Help! I'm not real technical. So please dumb it down.
Can anyone help me get my 3g recognized so I can update the software and continue using as an ipod - not the phone features...I have a 4g iphone now...but my 3g is in perfect working condition..just getting really slow so I wanted to see if an update to iOS would help. I use it in my Bose docking station and for facebooking and pinterest

When i open up itunes on my computer, it says that i have 2 videos but when i sync it and check my ipod touch, it says i have no videos so it only shows up on my computer but not on my iPod touch and its a 4th Generation.
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
I was using a neighbor's wifi temporarily. Now that I have my own wifi, my Macbook continues to hook up with my neighbor's. How can I change it so that it automatically hooks up with my wifi? I have no problem with the connection. It is just a pain to continually change to my wifi.
You need to go into the Preferences for the your WiFi and remove your neighbors from the list or move it below yours so that it will connect to yours first. System Preferences (Accessed through the Apple in the Upper Left Hand Corner) > Network. Then click on WiFi in the list on the Left hand side of the window and then click on Advanced button in the lower right hand corner. You will then get the list of all the wireless networks that have been joined and in the order they were joined from oldest to newest. Find the one in the list and either drag it below your network, or click on it and then press the "-" button to remove it from the list totally and then from that point on it should start connecting to your WiFi first automatically.

I just upgraded my iPhone 4 and iPad Mini to iOS 7, suddenly they both can no longer access to iTunes nor App Store. The message says "Cannot connect to App Store". After some research, I did reset all, and still the same. Can anyone have a clue? Thanks,
As I mentioned earlier, when I clicked on the App Store or iTunes Store, the message reads "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" or "Cannot connect to App Store" depending on which I clicked.
I did check iTunes & App Store, it used to show my Apple ID there, but somehow it shows empty there. I then manually typed in my Apple ID, it just won't work. I know for sure that my Apple ID works as I tried logging online using that ID fine, but my iPhone and iPA

How can I use the new Firefox to access nwapeople.com?
Well, two thoughts.
The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD. -
I have 2 touch's that froze when trying to update to the latest ios version. Neither respond to restarting the devices. They are also not recognized in windows or itunes. How do I get these to work. I followed all of the instructions on the apple website and they still don't work. I have verified that I have apple support for mobile devices installed in itunes and my version of itunes is 11.0.1. I am running windows 7 64bit with service pack 1 installed and all of my updates are current. Is anybody else having this problem with their apple devices?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
any help on this would be appreciated.
we think that is is because the system (xp) is not seeing the ipod in the my computer therefore the napster software has nothing to lach on to.!Does it say that it works with iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch or iPhone)? iOS devices have a different format/file system than other iPods.

I did have spotify premium on my phone, it stopped working so I deleted it from my iphone 5, when I tried reinstalling the app the 'open' tab is no longer available instead there is a picture of a cloud with an arrow coming down from it. Can anyone suggest how I might reinstall the spotify app onto my iphone again?
The 'open' button only show after you've installed it on your phone, the cloud symbol imdicates that the app is only in the cloud - if you tap on the cloud icon it should download onto your phone.

i no longer have any of my songs, ringtones, apps, photos etc, on my macbook anymore due to a SSD upgrade. i did not want to back up any files from the old hard drive as some were corrupt and i did not want that to transfer over to my new hard drive so i started from fresh. what i would like to know is, if i now sync my iphone with itunes, am i going to lose all the content on my iphone because there is nothing to sync it with or, will it transfer all the files onto my computer and i will have them again? or is there a way to do that before i sync and lose everything i have gained on the phone?

I'm afraid I'm gonna lose all my music on my Iphone when I unlock it. I have over 4,000 songs in it and they are not backed up on my itunes library (I know, big mistake. I was trying to save space on my hard drive.). Please tell me I won't lose my songs or if I do how do I transfer them back to the Itunes? Is there a good software that can do that hassle free?
Thanks
It's called "iTunes". Connect the phone, but do not sync, when it appears in iTunes choose "transfer purchases..." from the iTunes File menu. -

Do you mean you're already backing-up to a Time Capsule, and want to switch to using an external HD? If so, just format the drive and select it via Time Machine Preferences > Select Disk. See #21 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
If you mean something else, please clarify. -
