Yes, this happened to me
Use a Different computer
BEFORE CONNECTING IPOD
Open ITunes
click the icon on the very top left of the window. there should be a dropdown menu
click Preferences
Click Devices on the top tab
check
" Prevent ipods and ipads from automatically Syncing "
Connect your ipod nano
DO NOT CLICK SYNC
Click " Manual Mode " on the ipod screen
Click " Done " and wait a few minutes.
Now you wont lose all of your music as long as you use this same commuter

Can you hook up your iPod Touch 4th generation with an HDMI cable to your HDTV and play videos from your iPod to the TV?

I'm trying to find out if I can hook up my iPod touch 4th gen. iOS 5.0.1 to my HDTV with an HDMI cable and have it mirror what I do on the iPod Touch like mirroring videos for example. I need to find out and if so, how?

You can only output content to your TV if the App you are using supports the TV Out functionality. Mirroring is not supported on the iPod Touch.
If you still want to output content from your iPod to your TV, make sure you have the right cables as described here.

IPod touch screen frozen with computer cable and iTunes sign

My iPod touch is frozen with a computer cable and iTunes disc sign on the screen. I have tried to restart it but it has not gone away. Any suggestions as to what it may be or how to fix it?

Called Apple tech help - no freaking use!!! So I read a few posts and amongst others under help in itunes, I ran diagnostics and there was a link when the ipod was not recognized that discussed clearing temp files, etc. I did that, messed with MS Config to disable conflicting programs and some other stuff related to clearing temp files from installation of software. Eventually, I removed all apple software - itunes, helper, bonjour, mobile me etc and reloaded itunes. Did another reboot and this time it worked.
Now, this is the second time I have updated software and each time it it really sucky. I thought Macs were supposed to be better than PC's (;-) well they sure are NOT. I can download and update anything else with no probs but an ipod.
ipod touch is cool as it has internet access but stupid as an MP3 player as there is no radio and no decent equalizer. Sony kisses ipod butt regarding sound quality

Ipod 5 wont charge with new cable

The old cable of my iPod 5 broke, so when I got a new one(couple of weeks after it broke) it wont charge anymore. The first time I plugged it in with the new cable my iPod started up and charging, but when I swiped right on the home screen it turned off, then I could see that "battery low you need to charge before using" screen. Waited for about an hour but it wont start up just black screen. Tried to turn it on with the power button and home button but it doesn't react in any way, and my computer won't recognize the device at all.
The new cable is "Scanpart" "Apple Lighting Kabel". I think it's an official one.
Any ideas? Thanks for help.

Not Charge

IPod Touch not working with older cables

I got a 5G iPod (video) a few years back. I also bought extra USB cables, and the universal dock to go with it. I just got an iPod Touch, but it doesn't want to sync with the old cables. iTunes doesn't even register that it is connected. Other posts on this forum seem to suggest that the older cables work just fine, so am I missing something?

I had lots problems with 5G iPod Video (30Gb) cable connecting with Win XP PC but that same cable works fine with my new iMac/20". However both of my kids iPod nano (latest version) cables worked fine under Win XP and I used the Nano cable whenever I wanted to update the iPod video under Win XP.
Now the old Video cable even works with my daughter's 16Gb Touch (on the iMac though)...go figure...
This probably isn't relevent if you are connecting to your G4 though...

Displaying IPOD Video on Television

I just have a couple questions regarding hooking my 5G IPOD to my television. I have a stereo receiver with a few video input/out connections, which my DVD is currently attached to among other things. When I hook up the IPOD to the stereo, which is hooked up to the TV, I don't get a picture. Is it true that the connection has to be directly to the tv?
My second question regards sound output. The audio when on a tv or run through my car stereo seems to be at a very low level, which requires me to turn the tv volume or stereo volume way up to hear my ipod. Is there a IPOD setting that needs to be changed, so I can better hear the audio from my IPOD through my TV, etc? Does anyone else experience this volume issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
5G IPOD

Well thanks for the welcome. I always enjoy other
users advise based on experience.
No Problem
I have the stereo connected to the tv with a s=video
cable and I do switch the stereo to the input, which
the IPOD is attached and the tv to the s-video input.
I get sound, but no picture with this connection. I
had heard that the IPOD had to be directly attached
to the tv, but I didn't know if this was fact or
fiction.
I don't know if your stereo can convert from the AV input to the S video. It may need to be connected directly though. Try posting/looking through the connecting to a tv forum.
Does anyone else have the volume issue, where the
volume through a tv or car stereo is real low?
I myself do, and I think this is just because the port is designed for headphones and your car/stereos demand more sound

Unable to load purchases to iPod

Unable to load purchases to iPod. I have 4 movies purchased. In iTunes, the movies are there. each movie has a small blue dot to the left of the check box, what is that?
I have iTunes to sync manually to the iPod, but still the movies will not load tot he iPod. Even when I apply setting, nothing transfers.
Since I had a hard time finding this, can someone (anyone) please e-mail me at: [email protected]
PLEASE HELP

Do you get an error message when trying to add the movies to your ipod?
You might try de-authorizing and reauthorizing your computer.
Then sync your ipod again.
Something else to try is to rebuild your itunes library.
This article might help.

If the purchased videos still will not transfer to your ipod you can go into your itunes store account and view your purchase history. here you can report a problem with the videos purchased.

Can I hook up an ipod touch to a tv so I can use facetime across the globe. I live in Oz my brother lives in UK and I want to buy him an ipod touch so we can have the great facetime chats but I want to do it on the bigscreen. Is this possible?

I think the title says it all really. I am looking to buy my brother in the UK an ipod touch so we can have a good chat via facetime as I find it better than Skype BUT I want to have the conversation on the tv rather than all the family trying to cram around an ipod touch or the ipad. Is there a way of hooking the devices up to the tv so we can acheive this? It would be great if we could. I know you can hook up an ipod to the tv to watch films etc if it jailbroken so the technology is there but do Apple utilise it all the way? If not why not? I dont want this to turn into a platform for politics please, just after a little help.

Google shows it will works with a 5G iPod touch and with a Apple TV 2. You would use AirPlay mirroring.

How can i hook my old ipod to my new lap top without loosing my music

how can I hook up my iPod touch to my new laptop without loosing my music files

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the device for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

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.
- 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.
