  • I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format"

    I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format". Can someone please help me sort this problem, it's so frustrating!!!!!!

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

    Setting up your phone "as new iphone" is covered in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise your phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    If you have data on the phone you want to save, back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone 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 phone for the first time.
    Since changing your iTunes library will erase your phone again, do the same process when you change back to your normal PC.

  • TS1717 I have iPhone 4s. I downloaded iTunes to my PC and when I connected my iPhone to the PC iTunes showed a message that my device's time limit has expired. So iTunes doesn't allow me to transfer files from my iPhone to my PC .

    Carmell-
    When I've had a similar problem, it was because I was accessing the iTunes store from a device I hadn't used before, such as when I upgraded from an iPad 1 to the iPad 2.  It was a little confusing to me until I figured it out.
    All I had to do was use the ID of my existing account and play along with the iTunes store.  As I recall, it asked for my password twice, and the security code from the back of my credit card.  After that, downloads proceeded as before.

  • When i connect my ipad to the laptop ,it doesnt get connected

    when i coonect my ipad 2 to da laptop
    its doesnt get connected
    but wen i connect it to my pc it gets connected
    hence wt m i supposed to do to coonect ym ipad to the laptop

    You do realize, even if you get it to connect, you can't sync one iPad to two different computers right?
    Beyond that, iPads connect to computers running the latest iTunes. So if your laptop doesn't have iTunes, install it and try again. Also, try different USB ports. Your laptop is likely missing the Apple Device driver. You need to plug into different USB ports to trigger its auto install, or google how to install it.

  • When I connect my iPhone to my laptop, iTunes isn't acknowledging my iPhone I cant sync anything

  • How to delete "Other" partition in yellow color that appears when I connect my devices to the laptop, it's a giant one (4 GB)

    Hello, I would like to know how to delete the yellow partition named "Other" (in italian "Altro") that appears when I connect all my devices to the laptop. This partition in Ipad comes with 4 Gb that for an instrument of 16 seems a bit too also because it far exceeds anything else. So far not been able to find useful information and is a very common problem. Thank you.

    Thank you very much, but it's not so simple. I read somewhere in this same forum that:
    I quote: "That large of "other" is corrupt data. Try restoring your phone from backup first, followed by syncing your content back to the phone. If restoring from backup does not fix things, you will have to restore as a new device to get rid of it. There is no way to directly delete it, other than restoring your phone."
    First of all it's terrible, (but we know that itunes is very far to work properly, it's a store) and how many times a day we should make a restoring? and if it does not have we to buy another device? I cannot believe that there aren't other solutions.

  • My ipod 1st gen battery went totally dead because the usb cable was defective. I've changed the cable.  now when i connect my ipod to the netbook, itune is not launching automatically and windows does not recognize it......how can these issues be resolved

    My ipod 32gb 1st generation battery went totally dead because the usb cable was defective.  I have since replaced the cable but now itune will not launch automatically as it did before and windows xp does not recognize it.  Nonetheless it is charging.  However can i resolve these issues bearing in mind that i am not tech savvy?

    have since replaced the cable but now itune will not launch automatically as it did before and windows xp does not recognize it. 
    Try disabling a/v software and turn off the Firewall on your PC.
    Disable antivirus software
    Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
    Then connect the iPod to your computer. Launch iTunes. If your computer still won't recognize the iPod check out this article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Once your iPod is functioning again, with it connected to your computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left.
    Select the box next to:   Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
    That way iTunes should open automatically when you connect your iPod to your computer.
    And iTunes / Preferences - Devices. You can have your iPod sync automatically whenever it's connected from the Devices pane.

  • When I connect my iphone to the computer iTunes does not show my device but syncs???

    I connect my phone to the computer and it does sync but it does not show my device?  How can I see my device in itunes?

    Hello Crenshaw2332
    With the new version of iTunes, it would be the the left of the iTunes Store icon
    If you like how itunes worked before, I will suggest taking a look at the article that will bring back most commonly used features in iTunes.
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    Show Status Bar - Choose View > Show Status Bar (this feature will conveniently display the number of items and playback time for a category, for example, music or movies).
    Thanks for your question

  • Since the last iTunes up date (10.4), whenever I connect a device to the iMac, iTunes doesn't open?

    I've tried my iPod Touch, Shuffle, my iPhone 4, and my other halfs Nano and nothing. It syncs when I open iTunes but it has also stopped opening Last FM and scrobbling also. Do I need to do a reinstall?

    Check iTunes / Preferences - Devices
    Deselect:  Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
    Make sure: Open iTunes when this (device) is connected is selected from the Summary tab.

    HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE  3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
    AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
    PLEASE HELP ME.

    This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.
