USB Power Error with iPod Touch and 2012 MBA

I am getting a USB power error when I connect my current generation 32 GB iPod touch to my 2012 MBA.
Since both iPod and MacAir are running current software. I am also starting to get errors from iTunes telling me that my iPod can not be accessed. Any ideas? Mac or iPod problem, or BOTH? Closest Apple store is 250 miles away, but MBA is still under original 1 year original warranty. Might be time for a visit.

If a 5G iPod,
Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.

Outlook 2010 Syncing With iPod Touch and iPad

I have a PC with Outlook 2003 that sync’s with iPod Touch and iPad. I plan to buy a new PC with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. Comcast tells me they don’t support Outlook (They support Outlook Express) but Outlook 2003 currently works fine on my PC with Windows XP. I have the following questions:
- . Is there an alternative to Outlook 2010 that will sync with my iPod Touch and iPad?
- Will Outlook Express sync with my iPod Touch and iPad and is Outlook Express still available?
- What is Microsoft Exchange?
Thanks for your help. LCP

Just look at page 26 of the new US) users guide. It specifically says that the iPad syncs with Outlook 2010 (as well as 2003 and 2007). However, Comcast's mail help page only lists OL 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007.

Are earlier ipod usb cords interchangeable with ipod touch?

Hi, this is a quick question, my sister got an ipod touch for Christmas and someone threw out her cord - I have a couple of extra ipod cords from a classic, a nano and one other model - all of which have the same pin formation as the touch - she said her cord was shorter than mine - I am happy to give her one of my extras if there is no problem with her using it to connect to her computer. Any advice? I know with computers, each model has it's own requirements for their power cords.
Thanks in advance,
Annexit

I have used my older iPod 4th Gen & 5th Gen USB cables with my 1st Gen iPod Touch (and my iPhone 3G) with no problems. You will not be able to use the older firewire cables if you still have any of those though...

Problem with Ipod Touch and new software (2.2.1)

After upgrading to the 2.2.1 I have been unable to listen to it using my car stereo. It will only recognize my ipod sometimes and when it does a majority of the time there will be no sound at all. On my car stereo it shows my playlists and everything but no sound. I never once had a problem with my ipod or stereo until I did this upgrade. I tried switching out the usb cord but that did not help. I then restored my Ipod. I also tried to wipe out the battery completely and then charge (heard on a different message board that that could possibly help). Still having the problem though. I have an Ipod touch and a Pioneer stereo with the USB cable hook up.

yeah i'm having the same problem i have a pioneer navigation system and it will not play my ipod touch after upgrading to 2.2 i called apple to try to find a way to downgrade and they never gave me an answer

Problem with iPod Touch and Nissan Car Interface

I have an '09 Nissan Murano with the built in iPod interface. Previous to upgrading to the 3.0 update, the iPod touch and car got along great and everything worked well with the car being able to control the ipod and play music with only the dock connection (not needing to use the headphone jack). However, since the 3.0 update, the car will no longer see the iPod. The iPod shows the Connected to Accessory screen (as it did in the past) however every few seconds, the iPod will flash a quick screen of the iPods normal music screen, then go back to the Connected to Accessory screen. The car just says iPod Not Connected.
Like I said, it worked perfect before I upgraded to 3.0, and to further that, my brother has his touch still on 2.0 software, and it works fine, leading me to be sure that its a problem with the 3.0 update and not the car. I've seen posts like this with other vehicles, but no one seems to have an answer. Wondering who else is having problems like this and if there is ANY solution (besides rolling back my software).
The fact that an update disables iPod branded interfaces seems ridiculous to me. Thanks for any help!

I recently purchased an infiniti FX35 with the ipod integration. After visiting the local apple store "Genius Bar" and speaking on the phone with an "apple expert"; neither the genius bar or the apple expert heard of such an integration option in new cars being sold. They wanted more information from me about how it work rather than them assisting me with my problem.
Anyway, after alot of experimenting I got my ipod touch 2G running firmware 3.1 to work somewhat consistently.
Turn off wi-fi on the touch, power off then back on, go the ipod menu and select playlist. Attach the touch to the infiniti supplied cable through the dock connector. Select the ipod option from dash board. Playlist, songs, artists, etc will appear on the dash display and begin playing.

I am using new laptop with ipod touch and have downloaded i.tunes. in the past i.tunes showed all the tracks on my old i.pod. I can't seem to find the i.touch library to change or delete music. What am I not doing?

I am using a new laptop, windows 7, with ipod touch, hoping to listen to, whilst on line, edit and add music to my ipod library. I have downloaded i.tunes but it does not show my library. I know I have repeats to delete too but cant see anything, It does recognise that there is a body of music with the indication bar at the bottom., but does not list anything. Help

I attempted to back up my old iPod, but in File - Library - back up to disk, it's asking for 15 disks! I can't just back up to the PC/ext HDD that I can see.
That backing up your iTunes library, not your iPod. You can backup up your library by:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
First you have to get Itunes to see the iPod. See the following. Notupdating your iPod iOS has nothing to do with it.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
You can transfer iTune spurchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
You can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.
For other music yo will need a thrid-party progtam like one of those discussed here:
newer copy

WRT400N connection issues with iPod Touch and MacBook

I'm a newbie, so please bear with me.
I recently upgraded to the WRT400N from a Linksys BEFW11S4.
Since the change, the connection to iPod Touches and MacBooks at the house have been shaky at best. The connection frequently drops out completely on the iPod Touch even if it's right next to the router.
I've tried resetting the router, changing settings on the iTouch and MacBooks, but the problem persists. I don't want to mess with the router settings as I'm not experienced in that area.
Can anyone please help me?
Thank you.

You can try the below mentioned settings.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
This should fix the issue for you.

WRT54GC Wireless router problem with iPod touch and Ipad

Hi
I have a WRT54GC wireless router and both my ipod touch and ipad can connect to the network. They can both use the internet for like one minute and then the internet becomes very slow, and dies. Network connections are lost and I'm getting messages like 'can't connect to itunes' or 'lost connection with youtube'. The wireless router works fine for the laptops in the house (all windows). In the house where I live in the week (closer to my school) there is another router and i don't have the problem over there, also no problem to connect to my schools wireless network... So I think it's a combination problem of apple products and that router. I've tried a lot, like resetting network configuration, updating firmware, changing from wpa to wep1,... Anyone an idea?
Thank you
Bert

oh and the connection to the router isn't lost.
Thank you

Have you tried another cable?

It could be the cable or computer.

Issues with iPod Touch and latest update (4.3.3)?

I recently updated my iPod Touch 3G to 4.3.3. Before updating, I had absolutely no issues. Since updating, the iPod will shut off at will, sometimes flickering, sometimes going straight to the "slide to shut down" screen. Sometimes it will shut down in the middle of an app, I'll start it back up, and it will shut down again immediately. Occasionally, when I start it up after crashing, it will make the camera shutter sound! And there's no camera on this iPod!
Possible extenuating circumstance: I upgraded from a Power PC iMac to an Intel iMac at the same time I updated the software on the iPod. I have read the suggestions and the troubleshooting guide, and nothing has helped so far. I wiped the iPod clean and reinstalled and all that did was wipe out my settings (of course). Resyncing the iPod worked (apps and music loaded fine), but still it shuts down without warning. I tried installing a new free app, but that didn't work.
Usually I'm pretty good at figuring out these sorts of issues, but I'm at my wits end. Is anyone else having these problems? Am I screwed?

Okay, so now I have read that you have to install a free app through the phone, not through the computer. I've done so and it looks like everything is good for now. Keeping my fingers crossed. My question now, is that if this is a common occurance with the 4.3.3 update, why did Apple imply that I needed to wipe my iPod clean when this was the much easier and less invasive answer?

First week with ipod touch and it's already busted.......

i just finished watching a movie thru the ipod touch turned it off and after 5 mins the screen went all white and wouldn't turn off or on by itself. So i reset the thing turned all black and now it won't turn on at all. It was fully charged by the way, the movie was about 45 mins long so it can't be the power. What now? i tried everything i could but nothings happening.

perfect way to start the critique.... safari does not seem to be as stable as it is on OS X... mine shut out of myspace a few times but i think it had to do with myspace in particular... it might be the requirements of the site... tinker with other sites and see if that helps

Sync Problem with iPod Touch and Apple TV relating to iPhoto

I have recently recovered from a crash and has to restore everything from my time machine.
I have an iPod touch that syncs with my itunes and therefore with my iPhoto.
Same thing with my Apple TV syncing via itunes with my iPhoto.
After the restore. I have this message:" itunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
Previously I got the same message when syncing iPod touch with iPhoto. Then I opened iPhoto package content and remove the iPod Photo cache. that solves my iPod touch sync problem.
How can I sync with Apple TV again?

I believe you need to reset the Sync services data. Assuming your data on the Mac is correct (or correctable), try this:
1. If it is easy enough to do, clean up iCal. There are AppleScripts and other tools on the Internet to do this.
2. Save a copy of you calendar. Just in case. (File, Back up iCal...)
3. Exit iCal.
4. Start iSync.
5. Preferences, Reset Sync History. (If it is greyed out, wait a few minutes.)
6. Quit iSync.
7. Start iTunes and plug in your iPod.
8. Select your iPod and go to the Info tab.
9. Make sure you have the correct Calendars selected. At the bottom, under Advanced, under Replace information on this iPod, select Calendars.
10. Sync.
That should do it.
Normally, the fiddling with iSync should clear things up, so you can try just that, and syncing, but since your have a messed up situation, I'd go through all these steps once.

Using headset with ipod touch and Skype

Trying to use headset with jack adapter on ipod touch using skype. Audio out is fine but mic doesn't seem to work. Will this work, or will I have to switch to the Apple earbuds with mic?

I have successfully tested Skype using a $20 pair of GE ear buds with microphone. It used the correct iPod Touch earphone/microphone jack.
I've also used this with voice recorder software, and so has my wife.

Help with ipod touch and iphone receiving text messages

i just bought ipod touch for my daughter for christmas and me and my husband have the iphone 4 when my daughter texts me with imessage my husband gets them all and see our conversation and when me and my husband text back and forth through the iphones she get them too.Help I need to get this fix I don't want my daughter to keep getting my messages.

Each iDevice needs to have one unique messaging email address. One the iPod go to Settings>Messagers>Receive At and ann another, unique messaging email address and delete the other on. I am also assuming that on the iPhone you alos use one email messaging address. You need to also make thos unique.
