When I try to locate my ipod it shows that I'm in a different area than the one I'm really in.

When I used the map on my ipod touch 4th genernation, it showed my location as being in China, when in fact I'm in California. I tried to go to my settings and see what my timezone said, when I switched the time zone to automatically set, it showed me as being in Shanagi, China. I then set automatic time zone set up off and put in my time zone, yet my location when using locate my ipod still shows me in China. It shows my other devices in their correct places, but not mine. How can I fix this?

For location, the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apples database.  It does not have to be the router you are connected to. It appears that the router the iPod is using is incorrect in Apple's database.  There is no way that anyone know how to update App;s database. They update it themselves with data collect from iPhones and maybe iPads with cellular service.
Jailbreaking has nothing to do with it.

  • When I try to sync my ipod it shows that i have 2 gigs of other stuff. I dont know what it is and it is taking up space. how do I get it off?

    When I try to sync my ipod it shows that I have 2 gig of "other" stuff and I don't know what it is and it is taking up space. How do I get it off?

    You need to restore you iPod to gedure the "other" to its normal of less than 0.5 GB.  A restore from backup works if the large other is not in the backup.  Make sure that you turn off outo syncing (iTunes>Preferences>Device and check the box that says Prevent iPOds....syncing.  Otherwise, the backup will contain the other.

    Also, try a game called Supremacy1914 and run that game.  Its an outside browser game (Essintially) that runs via Java.  It should give you a security option to allow the certificate to play the game.  Some games require certificates and depending on your user account, it could be blocked.

  • How do I get my burned songs on my iPod to a different computer than the one I synced with when I loaded them?

    Anytime I open Firefox I get the following message: It is strongly recommended that you apply this update as soon as possible. When I try to do it, it is showing that it is trying to connect to the update server but nothing is happening

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • When I try to sync my iPod shuffle 2gb all of my music can't be located.

    When I try to sync my iPod shuffle 2gb all of my music can't be located. After I disconnect and reboot itunes it is all there. I have tried 2 shuffles. Both make my entire liberary dissapear once I click sync.

    I'm not sure if the original poster ever got this issue resolved or not, but I'm having the exact same problem.  My iPod shuffle is a 1Gig 2nd Generation, and I have all of my music library on an external hard drive.  Before connecting my shuffle, I can play all the songs through iTunes perfectly fine, as well as sync them all to my 160GB iPod classic.  As soon as I connect my shuffle, iTunes can no longer find or play any of my music, or sync any of it to the shuffle.  In fact, it seems to make the external drive disappear from the computer entirely.  When I right click My Computer->Explore, the external drive is still there, but no files are shown on it.  After disconnecting the shuffle and rebooting the computer, the external drive is back to normal, until the shuffle is connected again.
    For what its worth, this is a new problem, only started happening in the last couple months.  I've had the shuffle for 2+ years now, and I have been syncing music to it from the external USB hard drive for just as long with no issues.  Occasionally, I can sync 1-10 songs to it at a time before the external drive and all the music disappears, but for the last couple of days, the external drive seems to disappear as soon as the shuffle is connected.
    Thanks for any help, I only use the shuffle for the gym/bike riding/snowboarding and I know they're fairly cheap to replace now, but I don't want to pay for a newer generation if I'll still have the same issue.

  • I keep getting error 1603 when I try to restore my iPod why?

    I keep getting error 1603 when I try to restore my iPod why?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
