Why won't my ipod let me add an email account?

I am trying to add my email address under settings and it won't allow it...it is actually faded grey so you can't even click on it????

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC. Disconnect all other USB devices (except mouse)
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your iPod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

    I suspect these posts will be deleted.
    It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
    And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens.

  • Why won't my iMessage let my add my phone number?

    I am new to iPhone and can't get my IMessage to use my phone number as a receive at point. All the how to's I've read about it says you can. Someone please help.

    Ok. I have iMessage working as an email based messaging system.  Unfortunately it wont let me add my phone number as a "receive at" location.  My phone number is on my phone under the general-phone-my number, and it is also listed in my contacts and set as settings-mail,contacts,calenders-my info. Please give any advise on how to either fix this problem or reset only iMessage so I can start over.

  • Why won't my iPod let me manually switch songs?

    Hello everyone,
    I sure hope you will help me!
    I can't manually switch songs. If I let a song play through, my iPod will change to the next song by itself just like it's supposed to. It's only when a song comes on & I don't want to hear it so I hit the right arrow but it will not move to the next song. I don't have the "repeat" on. The screen is not locked. I even restored it but no luck. I've tried holding the Menu & the middle button down at the same time but it has not helped. Oh...my iPod will let me switch songs BACKWARDS! It just will not let me manually forward past a song I don't like.
    Thanks so much,
    Cindy

    Sounds like the forward button is busted. Take the unit to the local Apple store. If that is the case, and your iPod is under a year old, you might get a new one.

  • Why won't my iPod let me listen to music and videos for more than a few seconds?

    When I press the music icon, my iPod goes to my playlists for about 2 seconds, appears to flash, and then returns to the home screen. What should I do??

    Try the basics from the manual:
    Restart.
    Reset.
    Restore.

  • Why won't LR5.7 let me add files in a folder to its catalog?

    I accidentally imported files from an SD card into two different folders. Lightroom made me aware of this when I tried to copy them from folder A to the 'correct' folder B, by saying that they were already present in the destination folder.
    The stats for folder B show only 10 pictures, not the 277 I tried to copy from foler A. I don't know how to persuade LR to show the 277 files, which it says are in folder B. File explorer confirms that the files are in both folders.
    I've tried synchronising Folder B. LR says that it doesn't contain any files that aren't already in my catalog.
    Any ideas what is going on and how I can make LR show these photos?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    Lightroom is not a file browser. If it thinks the photos are in folder A, you need to tell Lightroom that the photos are really in folder B. This is not a copy or a move. This is a "re-connect".
    Here are instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • Why won't my iphone accept one of my email accounts

    My new iphon will not receive emails from my work account.  This is a pop account but the incoming and outgoing server are the same.  Is this why there is a problem?

    Talk to the IT administrator in your company.  Quite often they have installed security settings to prevent access from any unauthorized mobile device or computer.
    They should be able to tell you how to set the iPhone up to get access to your work email.

  • Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents??

    Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents saved in pages and save them again? It keeps saying access denied when its my computer and I have Lion OS X

    Right click the document and select 'get info'.  Check the permissions for the file.  If several of these files have the wrong permissions then you may need to repair user permissions.  See this for instructions:
