What software do I put on my iPod after it gets repaired?

I just sent my iPod in to get repairs. When I get it back can I just put the latest software on it? or do I need to put the old software on the CD that came with the original iPod first, then update it?

You can put the latest on it, you don't need to use the original CD unless you particularly want to. The latest updater by the way is integrated with iTunes 7 so there is no longer a standalone version: iTunes Download

What software can I put on my iPhone so no one can hack into my phone

I think my iPhone has been hacked. Can anyone tell me what software I can put on my iPhone so I know my phone will be safe and no hackers will get into my phone? There has been weird stuff happening on my phone for example, my phone shuts off, my phone sends out text messages, and pictures get deleted off my phone. I did a factory reset and that seems not to work. I also took my phone into the store and they found spyware on my phone and we deleted that off my phone but since we deleted it, I am still having problems with my phone. Any suggestions?

Unless your phone was jailbroken, there is no spyware that could have been installed. Like pogster, I'd like to know what "store" you took your phone into. Was it an Apple Store?
Restore your phone as new. Put a passcode on it. Do not let people you don't trust use it. Do not jailbreak it. That's generally all you need to do to protect your phone.

What is the "other" data on my ipod after i updated my os

what is the "other" data on my ipod after i updated my os? and can i remove it? and how do i pair up devices via bluetooth?

Hi
First, the "Others" what you see in iTunes when you're iDevice was plugged in, is where the iOS installed. It's the system core of your iDevice.
2nd - That ia hevn't used before, bluetooth pairing. The last time I tested it, I failed.
and now you're not the only one who needs help in bluetooth pairing, LOL...

What music can i put on an ipod

I heard that the music has to be from the iTunes store. So the question is, what music can I put on one?
iTunes music?
CD music?
or just any music that happens to be on my HDD?

Hey there,
You can put any music on your iPod as long as you have authorized your computer to do so under iTunes and that the music in a iPod-compatible format. More about compatible iPod formats (at least for the classic, but are pretty common along all iPod models) can be found in the first link below. Hope this helps.

Putting files on iPod after enabling for disk use. How to?

I enabled my Nano for disk use, but don't know how to put files on it. An answer on how to ut files onto the iPod after it is enable to be a hard drive would be great.
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
I am not sure about how to put files with a PC, but with a Mac, I believe I can help. To put files on your iPod, your iPod should appear in Finder as a external disk drive. All you need to do is to drag the file into the iPod icon, as you would with an external hard drive. Syncing your Contacts (Address Book) or Calendar (iCal) is a little different. To sync Contacts and Calendar with your computer, Knowledge Base Document #301374 for Mac OS X and Knowledge Base Document #302270 for Windows. I had a hard time with syncing contacts and calendar with windows, because there are two different links.

Syncing ipod after hard drive repair

I recently had a major problem with my computer and had to have a new hard drive installed, losing itunes in the process. I have downloaded the itunes software but when I insert my ipod, hoping to transfer the files on it to my itunes library, I get the message "This ipod is synced with another itunes library". Is there a way around this or another way to import the files on my ipod into my itunes library?

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

I have like no apps on my iPod. I have tried finding a list of apps I can get, but have found nothing helpful. I am really trying to find solitaire..

Here's a link to the other facebook page for Vintapps (3.1.3), which has something of an explanation for why it's gone:

Can't put music on iPod after sync

I am giving my old laptop to my father- how do i "reset it" without erasing all of the software i have put on it. currently he gets all of my email etc??

I am giving my old macbook pro to my father. i don't want to run the restore disc because of extra software i have added over the years. I need to figure out how to "reset it" so that he gets his email- i guess to match his imac..... he currently is getting my email. Our common goal is to somehow link our 4 computers (his imac + mac book pro) and my Imac and macbook pro for ease of sharing info and grandchild pictures (the most important part!!). we are both technologically challenged- and we are 250 miles apart~!! We need help!! I am currently at his house and hope that with info from this forum- while we are together- we may be able to get this figured out. i can access this forum and read it (since he wont be able to find his glasses) and he will be able to do the technical stuff !!! Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide!!

Hi Elaine
You can set up a new user account for him - and delete your old account - without affecting any installed software.
Go to System Preferences, then Accounts (called Users and Groups if you have OS X 10.7 installed).
Use the "+" button and add a new account for your father. I'd recommend that you make it a Standard account (doesn't have administrator privileges). Make sure you (or he) writes down the user name and password that you set up.
If you've already transferred any files you need (documents, pictures, movies, etc), you should delete your old account and set up a new, blank, admin account. First use the Accounts preferences to create a new admin user. Then log out, log in as that new user, and use the same preference window to delete your old account.
Again log out, log in as your father's user, and set up Mail with his email details. Make sure it's correctly sending and receiving email. I strongly recommend, if he has a mail account that supports IMAP, to use the IMAP server, so that any mail he reads on one computer will be marked as read on the other computer.
I'm not sure what plan you have to share photos? There are several online sharing sites (Picasa, etc), but iCloud - for now - doesn't have a photo sharing feature. What other info did you want to share?

I would appreciate your support to help me figure out if this problem is solvable.
The error comes about whilst trying to download certain apps from the app store, including CSR Racing which when i tap on install a message box pops up saying "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch", another time for a different app it came up with a message saying "This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability.
Main questions:
What was achieved from the latest forces iPod touch 2g update (17/07/2012)?
solvable problem(s)?
Will i need to buy a more recent model of iPod touch if this isnt fixable?
ps. My iPod has lasted me 3 years so far so i am not suprised, still in good nick!
thanks, Sim x

i saw something on itunes just a moment ago saying iPod 1g can download 3.1 update for £2.99, will this help with the compatability of the csr racing app at all with that individual problem? |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052] (html for this)
