When Ipod is plugged into itunes there is a lock icon at the bottom.

When I plug my ipod up to my itunes there is a lock icon on the bottom of itunes next to the amount of music (i.e. 6.5 days). My friends doesn't have that icon when he plugs his up to his itunes. How do I turn it off?

Manually updating is not as easy and takes away from the easy syncing from your computer to iPod.
If you really want to do it...

Automatically updating is easier and better, in my opinion.

  • TS1205 My iPhone 4S doesn't even show the sound bar. Even if I go into music, there's no sound bar at the bottom. What's wrong?

    I admit, I did drop my phone into a cup of juice, but only up to the home button was submerged. From then the sound wasn't working. I put it in a cup of rice, and the sound resumed working again, but soon after it stopped working again. Not only is it not working, but sound bar isn't even displayed. When you press the side bars nothing happens, when you go to music there's no volume bar at the bottom of the page, but my ringtone continues to work. Is there anything I need to do to fix it, or should I buy a new iPhone all together?

    Did you try to reset your iPhone? Hold down Power and Home buttons together until Apple logo appears.

  • Help! How can i remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it can't open, rotate or turn to next page because there is a lock sign at the bottom?

    Help! How can I remove the lock sign on my ipad3? it cannot rotate, turn to next page, or even open when it's on standby mode, even when i press the home button it cant open..thanks

    I'm not sure exactly what you are seeing but .....
    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that doesn't do it, double tap the home button and swipe to the right and look for the lock icon all the way to the left.
    If the iPad is not responsive and you cannot slid to unlock the screen - try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • What do I do when my iPod touch wants me to plug into iTunes and asks for a password on the iPod touch and can't do it?

    What do I do when the iPod touch asks to be plugged into it ouch and nothing happens. The PC asks to use password on iPod touch and it can't be done.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    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.

  • HT1689 Is it possible to view my audio tracks stored on my iPhone in anything other than list view when it is plugged into iTunes via my mac?

    Hi,
    When my iphone is plugged into my mac I can only view the songs on it in a list.  I sync my music manually so I can add or delete a song with ease.  I can view the songs on the mac in list, cover flow etc but when I look on the iphone within itunes, these options are all greyed out and I can only see the songs in a list.  I have nearly 500 songs on it at the moment and it is hard to easily see which albums are on the iphone.  Any help gratefully received!

    Unfortunately, you cannot change the view of your audio tracks.

  • Playlists delete everytime iPhone and iPod are plugged into iTunes

    I'm not sure if it's a setting in iTunes or what, but whenever I plug my iPhone 4 AND my iPod touch into iTunes, all of my playlists are deleted. My iPhone 4 is running 4.2.6 and iPod is on 4.2.1, neither are running altered or jailbroken software. Running iTunes 10.1.2.17. Music is set to manually manage.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You said:
    No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. 
    That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

  • Updated to 7.0.6 on my iPhone 5s and now my phone is all out of whack. It won't sync the new playlists I added after the update though when it's plugged into iTunes it says it's synced. Help please!

    So I updated my iPhone 5s to version 7.0.6 yesterday, and now my iPhone music isn't working properly. It won't sync the playlists that I added after the update though when it's plugged in on iTunes it says that the music is synced. When I select a song in a playlist on the phone it shuffles through the playlists for like 3 seconds and picks a totally different song to play. I tried reinstalling iTunes, I tried restoring the iPhone, is it just a bug with the update? Nothing works. Any solutions are welcome.

    DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

  • Is it possible to restore iPod without plugging into iTunes?

    Hello - having great difficulty doing anything to my iPod through iTunes. Is there anyway in which I can restore my iPod without going through iTunes?

    Thanks

    I can't imagine there being any way, unless you use some 3rd party software (which I don't recommend)

    Thanks for the response.
    Ok - what happens..
    1)iPod appears to work fine as a standalone player.
    2)iTunes works perfectly without the iPod connected
    3)Put the two together and it's **** on earth!...
    I can't sync or make any changes through iTunes, without iTunes freezing (and that includes the restore iPod option.)
    I may not actually need to restore my iPod - however the other option that comes to mind is throwing the damed thing out the window....so any help gratefully received..
