TV out - iPod says it's playing on my TV but it's not.
I bought an iPod touch yesterday, and AV Component wires to hook it up to my TV. I used to do this with my regular RCA cables by switching the red and yellow but apparently you can only use Apple's wires for the new ones. But that's neither here nor there...
I've connected everything correctly, and when I went to play a TV show, iPod asked me if I wanted to display on the TV. I hit yes...but switching to HD Colorstream 1 (Component) input on the TV reveals nada. I tried plugging the component wires into Component 2 as well, but neither will recognize the video. No audio either. I know they are in the right spot.
The TV is a Toshiba Regza, and brand new (only about two weeks old) if that makes any different...doubt it.
So why does iPod know it's plugged into a TV, but the TV doesn't know iPod is there?
I am so aggravated. 99% of my iPod use is video-out.
I think I may have solved my own problem.
The dock.
The stupid stupid dock.
I have an iPod Universal Dock that I bought with my 80G iPod (now) Classic that crapped out last week, and was not aware that I had to purchase a different dock for the iPod Touch in order to get video-out. After all, it charges on it, and it has all the outputs. Blergh. I was already at the Apple Store once today to get cables (40 minutes away)...luckily, as soon as I realized this, my dad just happened to be driving by and stopped for me. I talked to the clerk on the phone and made sure I was getting the "Apple" Universal Dock with the rectangular IR window, and not the "iPod" Universal Dock with the circle one. This better fix it, because I'm not ponying up any more money to accessorize it. A $500 purchase has since turned into more like $650 with the new cables and new dock. Plus, I bought a remote separately yesterday because I didn't think I needed the 'new' dock (which comes with remote) and apparently it's not returnable.
Well, I hope this works. I'll find out soon enough.

Song remains at 0:00 even though ipod says it's playing
Fifth Generation iPod 30 Gb. A couple of days ago it froze in the middle of the song, i reset with menu+center button. It worked. I plugged it into the computer to update some music, and an error message reading "ipod appears to be corrupt, use iPod restore to fix this problem", or something to that effect, came up. I proceded to restore the ipod, resync all my music, and now when i play any song or video the song or video comes up, but will not play, even though the ipod says it's playing. Computer will not recognize ipod, itunes freezes when ipod is connected, and the ipod is ejected a few minutes later. The stinger here is that my 3 year warrenty ended about a month ago. Hah. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
hmm, thats difficult..i would suggest just talking to apple support or bringing it in to like best buy and having some guy work on it there...

When my iPod Touch is connected to my Mac, and I select Update to update the software of my iPod Touch, I get a message saying that my iTunes software is current, but it will not update my iPod Touch software. Is there a bug in the iPod program?
If you have the first gen ipod touch as your information shows, then you would have to buy a software update:

The SD version of my tv download didnt sync & I have an iPod. I can play it in iTunes but it won't sync with my iPod. I've never had this problem before, the other tv episodes have worked/downloaded both versions fine. How do I fix this?

You may need to try this More than Once...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work. -
When I sync my iPod some of my purchases from iTunes transfer, but some do not. When I try to drag the songs onto the iPod icon it shows the 'crossed out' symbol and won't move them. I've tried synching from multiple computers that are all connected with home sharing but it still didn't do the trick.
Installing iTunes does not cause content to magically appear on the computer.
Your media is only where you put it.
iOS devices are not backup devices.

The musictracks on my iPod Nano don't play till the end but suddenly change to the next track. How can I solve this problem ?
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:

My ipod touch 4 gen is showing headphones in but they are not
My ipod touch 4 gen is showing headphones in but they are not.plz help me
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?

When asked to verify my account it says I will receive an e-mail but I am not receiving one.
When asked to verify my account, it says I will receive an e-mail, but I have not received one. Help!!!!
ok... i figured out "A" solution.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Manage your account", enter your old apple id email and password, then edit the verification email to a functional email address. This will send the email verification to your newly chosen apple id. PLEASE NOTE, this email address can NOT be a MobileMe (@me.com or @mac.com) email address OR an address already verified on an existing apple id (some folks added and secondary email address to their MobileMe apple id).
Here's where it gets even more confusing. You've now changed your apple id email. Problem is you need to reset the password you never created (lol). Go back to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Reset your password", then enter your newly changed apple id email address and follow the instructions.
Now, log into that email account and open the email to reset your password. Follow those instructions.
Now that you've changed your apple id email address, reset that password you are ready to finally verify your apple id. Open your email account and follow the instruction (link) to verify account. It will ask you for you (new) apple id email and (new) password.
Finally, now that everything is verified, you will now need to go into your iTunes, iPhone, iTouch and anything else associated with the old apple id email and update your log in info. You are now free to resume the services that worked just fine before the self-destruct button was pressed.
I love Apple as a whole but, wow... I feel like I'm at the beginning of MobileMe again.
Good luck and I hope this helps everyone!
ON A POSITIVE NOTE:
I appeared to loose nothing at this time through this process (i.e. music, apps, credits, etc.) except perhaps my cool. :-) -

i have ordered an i-pad and cancelled it the other day. I have used my indian debit for that order. So money got debited immediately. Apple has sent an email saying that it is successfully cancelled. But money is not yet credited into my account. please let me know what is happening. I cancelled the order on April 9th. Its already been more than 15 days.
Your best corse of action would be to either email apple support or ring them giving them your debit I'd and the order number where they will be able to look at what's wrong and set u going on the right track
