! ! ! URGENT - Connecting a friends 1G 5GB iPod to my G4 - URGENT! ! !

I own a 1G 5GB iPod and as normal 'organise' it through my G4.
A friend also has one but needs to connect to mine to transfer some data (his Mac has just died).
I connect through the firewire as per normal but my iTunes does not recognise it.
How can I get my G4 to rcognise it please?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same model of iPod you have (5GB 1st gen) and iTunes 7 won't recognize it, either. Have you reset your iPod by holding the top and bottom buttons down for 10 seconds?
Try going to Disk Utility, and see if your iPod comes up as a disk that can be repaired. If it does, try "repair permissions".

HT201263 so my friend disabled my ipod to the point that the ipod said "iPod disabled connect to iTunes" but my computer wont connect to iTunes beacuse iTunes is saying that it's not connected to the internet when my interenet is working just fine, so wha

So my friend had my iPod and he disabled it to where it said "iPod disabled connect to iTunes" but my computer will not connect to iTunes and I really need to know if there's a way I can restore my iPod?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back?

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

My friend took my ipod touch and did the password now its disabled and wont connect to computer?

Colton,
You'll need to connect your iPod to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My friend lost my ipod touch at the movie theatre. Is there any way i can track it?

My friend lost my ipod touch at the movie theatre. Is there any way i can track it?

If the FindMyiPod feature is alreay tuned on and wifi is on nd the theater has free wifi and automatically connect you can go to icloud.com and fnd its general location and have it make a sound, send it a message and wipe it. However, that feature can be defeated by turning the iPod off or restoring the iPod.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod. Report it to the theater and police.
- Apple wil not help.

My friend have an ipod, and i have a zen micro

Well, my friend owns an ipod, and i own a Zen Micro. I want 2.5GB worth of music from him computer, but the ipod uses its own software, and my Zen uses its own. Any tip on getting that 2.5GB worth of music from his computer to my zen? (i dont want to install anything on his computer tho...) ty

If the files are AAC, you could just install iTunes on your computer, add the AAC files to your library, goto the preferences window via Edit -> Preferences, go to the importing tab and change the encoder to mp3, then select all of your files in the library and right-click and then select 'Convert files to MP3'. iTunes will then convert your files (NOTE: This could take a long time when dealing with 2.5GB of files!) to mp3 and then you have zen compatible files!

Think my friend fused their ipod mini. HELP!

Can anyone try explain what the possible problem is with my friends ipod so that we can judge whether it is better to get it fixed or just buy a new one.
Here is the story:
My friend has an ipod Mini. She says it hasn't been charging very well. So she went and bought a charger from a shop. She asked the guy at the shop if it was a charger for an ipod and he said it was an mp3 charger and that it would work with an ipod, but when she got home and opened the charger it didn't have the right slot connection for an ipod. She wasn't sure what to do so she looked on her ipod and found that the charger connection fitted in the earphone slot. So she thought that this was where you put it. When she put the charger on, she heard a little sound and now we can smell this fused smell from the earphone slot. The ipod still worked after this but now it doesn't charge at all. The guy at the shop said sorry for the wrong information but it was hear fault for not being technologically minded and putting the charger in the wrong slot.
Can anyone please give a little advice as to what the problem is so that I can tell her if she should have it sent for fixing or should she just buy a new one. Please Help!!!!

It does indeed look as if the iPod may have been damaged by inserting the charger into the headphone socket and then connecting the charger to an electricity supply.
It's difficult to say exactly what internal damage has been caused by this.
Whether it would be better to repair or replace the iPod depends on how much it would cost to fix.
Apple won't do it so you should look at one of the many 3rd party repair sites such as iPodResQ. They will do an estimate for you on how much it's likely to cost. There are other places you can find if you Google 'iPod repairs'.
Btw, the guy at the shop sounds like a real jerk!

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

How to connect my MacBook to my iPod Hi-Fi

Hello,
I'd like to know how to connect my MacBook to a iPod Hi-Fi.
Thank you!
davidjm

You have two choices. You can use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cable or for best results use a digital audio cable between them.
Check this link out for the MacBook: External Ports and Connectors.

I have an iPhone 4S and my friend has two ipods with two Apple ID's. Why can't he receive messages on "Message" on one and he uses a free text app on the other which receives messages from my phone just fine.

My friend has two ipods. Two Apple ID's and on one ipod he has a free text app on it and only Message on the other. He cannot receive a message from my iphone 4S on the one with Message, but receives it fine on the one with the free text app.
He can also receive a message from my iPad on the one with Message.
My question is how can he recieve a text from my iPhone to the ipod which has a different Apple ID than the other but does not have a free text app?
Also on the ipod he has the free text app he has not upgraded to ios7 and won't.

Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

You can't. Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID. In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer. And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:
