Why can I not synch my brand new IPod with one purchased itune and 2 riped from a CD, both of which are shown in my itunes account. The unhelpful "support" suggests I click an icon pictured but not in any screen view available to me. This is really off-pu

Just bought an IPod Classic and put 3 songs on my iTunes account - 1 purchased and 2 from a CD.  I can't sync and the screen shot shown in the help section doesn't ressemble my scren views. i have now been on hold for 55 minutes despite a mesage saying "15 minutes or more" that implied a much quicker experience. This is really an unimpressive begining.

  • On/off button not working on brand new iPod touch 5th gen

    My daughter has just unboxed a brand new iPod touch 5th gen that arrived today.
    It wouldn't turn on so I assumed the battery was flat which I thought was odd but I plugged it in and it came on - 90% + battery.
    The on/off button does not do anything. We've pressed it, held it - nothing. If I press the on/off and the home button together, Siri starts.
    It will only switch off after a minute has elapsed. We can't do it manually.
    What's going on? Any ideas?

    If you have an Apple store nearby I would make an appointment at their Genius Bar.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Otherwise I would call Apple. You get at least 90 days of free telephone support.

  • Brand new iPod Touch 4g won't sync music from iTunes?

    Every time I plug my iPod into my laptop to add more music I get an error saying iTunes cannot read the contents and I need to restore it. Last week I got a new white iPod Touch 8gb 4g. I had the same problem with my last iPod and when I bought the new one I was hoping I wouldn't anymore but I do. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, restarting my computer, hard rebooting my iPod, turning my iPod off and on, deleting old backups, etc. But still it won't sync correctly. Sometimes it will start the sync, but rush through all the steps without actually syncing anything. So I try to sync again and again to see if it will add anything but it just rushes through all the steps without doing anything. And eventually I get the message saying it cannot be read and needs to be restored. I'm using windows, and my iPod as well as iTunes are both up to date. And I have plenty of space left on my iPod. I've even checked for viruses/threats but there are none on my computer. Even to add one new song I have to restore first. Even though it's a brand new iPod. Any ideas why it won't sync or why iTunes cannot read the contents??? I've been having this problem for awhile. A couple months. With my old iPod and my new one.

    My understnding is that this may be a Windows related problem or sometimes USB problem.   I have the same issue and I know how to correct it, BUT ( and this is a BIG BUT) ... it will happen again and each time it does you will have to fully restore your I-Pod.  Here is my post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18645554#18645554 discussing a potential one time fix, but the problem happens the next time you plug in the I-Pod Touch 4G.

  • Brand New ipod Touch wont turn on and isnt recognized by windows or macbook

    I just got my ipod touch and macbook today. When i press the button on top of the ipod, it wont do anything. Also, when i plug the ipod into my macbook and my other PC, they both dont recognize it. Nothing has come up on the ipod's screen. Should i take it to the apple store in my area? Thank you all!

    Hi--
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Sorry to hear about your iPod. If you're close to an Apple store, then I'd definitely take it in and have them look at it, especially if it won't turn on when it's plugged into the MacBook or the PC. Even if the battery was drained out (unlikely on a brand new iPod), it should start up when it's getting power from the USB bus.
    It's probably best to check out this list of Apple Stores:
    http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/
    Pick the one closest to you, then make a reservation at the Genius Bar. It's been a while since I had to do that, but I think I had to wait until after midnight, or maybe until around 6 AM the day I wanted to go in.

  • HT204053 I have a small older iPod with one email address and passcode, & I have created an "Apple ID" yesterday with a different email address & different password, for my new iPOD Touch5:  Does that ID & pw now apply to my iTunes?

    Does creating a new Apple ID with user name, email and password ( for my new iPod Touch 5  CHANGE and my existing iTunes account username and pw ?
    Thanks....Gary

    Your new iPod Touch will use what ever ID you specify in Settings>iTunes & App Stores when you purchase apps and media from the iTunes and App stores, regardless of the ID you may have been using before on your older device.

  • Why can't I add on my new ipod the tracks that were on my old one? Because all of these songs are not on my PC, but only on my ipod.

    I already had an ipod, plenty of songs which only are on this ipod and nowhere else (not even in my itunes library or on my PC) and on the ipod i just bought, i can't add songs which are not already in my itunes library, so i can't add the songs of my first ipod and not even the songs of my PC's library...
    Please, could you help me!! Or at least tell me if it is normal or if there's a problem?
    Thanks a lot!

    Recently both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • Brand New iPod Touch - It's stuck and not being recognized by iTunes

    I just got a new iPod Touch for a gift. I plugged it in and it needed to update software to 4.0. I allowed it to download and install and left the computer alone. Came back and it is currently stuck showing the screen with the USB and the iTunes symbol. It is no longer recognized on iTunes when I plug it in. I cannot get it off this screen, I would do a restore but iTunes does not recognize this. When I plug the iPod touch in, it shows up in device manager as Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) (2 of them). I am able to install the drivers on one and the other it will not let me and gives me a code 10. This is very frustrating especially since I have owned it less than 5 hours.
    PLEASE HELP I HAVE SEARCHED FOR HOURS NOTHING WORKS!!!

    If you want a refund, take it back where you bought it.
    As for the rest of your question, until you give us something resembling useful information, like what EXACTLY the problem is, and what error message(s) you're getting, we can't even begin to guess.

  • HT201442 Just bought a brand new ipod touch a month ago and went in to iTunes. There was an update for me so I downloaded it to my ipod and then it went into recovery mode. Tried to restore it in itunes but was told this device isn't eligible.  Help!!

    Just bought a new ipod touch a month ago.  Went into itunes to burn music and had an update to download which I did. Then I get a message that my ipod has gone into recovery mode. It's locked up with a black screen with iTunes logo and picture of a plugin on the screen. Tried to restore it as recommended but itunes said this device isn't eligible for the requested build. Error codes 3194 and 17. This is very frustrating considering the cost of the ipod and how new it is. Now what do I do?  Buy another one? Can anybody fix these types of things? Is this a common occurance or am I just unlucky?

  • Why did iOS 5 make my brand new iPod Touch so slow?

    Recently downloaded the new iOS which, by the way, took nearly an entire night due to connection failure with host.  Since then my iPod has been almost glitchy.  I keep my apps pretty clean.  I don't have a lot.  And when I'm done with one I close it with the hold+home and "x" it down.  However, still the new iOS runs slow.  Will there be a new release coming soon with some bug fixes?

    You may want to try a few things to try and deduce the problem:
    1. back up your iPod touch with iTunes
    2. remove an app that you suspect may be large or makes heavy use of background work (some apps may use the network a lot via the background scheduling services of iOS)
    3. reboot, then repeat 2 until the problem disappears (you can blame the last app that you removed!)
    4. if the problem does not disappear, try a restore to factory settings.
    The iPod touch has limited working memory (half, in fact) compared to an iPhone 4(S) or iPad 2.  While iOS should be able to handle these memory conditions gracefully, it also depends on how well apps respond to shutting down when iOS tells them to.  Stubborn or rather large apps can cause the performance of your iPod to degrade momentarily until memory congestion settles.

  • Splitting in NEW GL with one profit center and two segments

    What options are avialble for splitting in New GL when there should be one profit center and two segments - maybe characteristic derivation could solve it?

    If I have understood your question correctly then you have one profit center and you want to attach two segments to it.
    Segment is higher level than the profit centre. One segment can have n number of profit centres but one profit centre will have only one segment. This is the drawback in using the 'segment' in SAP. Also, it is difficult to change sengment embedded in profit centre master. 
    You might try using profit centre groups than segment.

  • Why won't my computer recognize my brand new iPod Nano I purchased today?

    I purchased a Nano 3 weeks ago and it quit holding a charge. I couldn't use the wall charger (Apple product) and then when I tried charging on my computer, nothing happened. I returned it and went to set up the new Nano today on the computer and the USB isn't recognized. It briefly recognized it and I saw that software was being installed.  It then stated that the USB device was unknown.  I then came here got some ideas and tried uninstalling the driver, but there was not type of un-named driver and nothing identified as Apple.  I tried my iPhone and that did sync up.  I updated my iPad a few days ago.  What is wrong with these darn Nano?  It looks like I will have to get a Samsung if this doesn't work.  I am not a high tech computer person and I don't have all the time in the world to figure this out.  Help.

  • Hi why wont my audio books transfer to my Ipod, I have purchased them and it starts to download then stops and tells me its finished syncing yet no books are present.

    I have purchased books from itunes audiobooks for some reasons they wont  sync to my ipod everytime I try and sync it tell me its done when it isnt as there are no books!  They have been purchased and downloaded but  jues wont sync.  Anyone had this problem?

    Have you double checked to make sure these Audiobooks are configured to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes?  This is assuming that the audiobooks are already stored in your iTunes library and appear under the Books category.
    To access this configuration tab, plug in your iPod and select it from under the Devicessection in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Books tab across the top in the main iTunes window and select it. Here you can configure what and how audiobooks are synced to the device.
    If you make any changes to this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button on in the lower right hand corner. This will sync the updated changes to your device.
