The *NEW* Only iPod/iTunes/iTouch/iPhone Help Thread
 Thought it might be time for a new thread. FAQ and thread title needed updating etc etc. Handy Links: What iPod do i have? Apple (US) Apple (UK) Apple (IE) iTunes Old iTunes thread General iPod Questions: 1. How to Get Music from an iPod, to a computer. Windows: Use iDump Mac: Use Senuti. You need to pay for this, although it is a small file, so you can easily re-download it when the trial runs out. Worth the hassle imo, as it is the best app i have found for this purpose yet. If you dont want to go about downloading a program to do it, there is another way around it. Read this. It works for both Mac and Windows. 2.My battery seems to be losing life. First things first, see if you can get it covered by your warranty. If not, a local store will probably replace a battery for you, for cheaper than apple will, but make sure you price all the options available to you. Dont forget, that batteries can be bought on ebay, and brought to someone to replace for you. 3. My iPod wont show up on my computer/iTunes First, try a different USB on your computer. If none of them work, try using a different cable. If you are still getting nothing, restart you computer/iTunes. If still nothing is showing up, try plugging your iPod into a different computer, to see if that is what is causing the problem. 4. My iPod is frozen, help? Reset the ipod by holding the menu and select button, until an apple appears on screen. On the iTouch/iPhone, hold the sleep and menu buttons. If it happens regularly, restore the software through iTunes. 5. Sound is only coming from one headphone, when connected to my iPod. Try a different set of headphones. If the problem persists, blow sharply into the headphone jack, to dislodge any dirt/dust that may have gotten trapped. If this doesnt work, start pricing a repair. 6. How do i get movies/videos on to my iPod. For youtube videos: use the site www.zamzar.com. For videos that you already have on your computer: Videora provides a mac and windows friendly soloution 7. My iPod just got wet If you can take the cover off the ipod. DO NOT press any buttons, plug it in, or use it in any way. Place it near a rad, in an airing cupboard, or in a bowl of rice, and leave for a few days. If it works, congratulations, if it doesnt, hard luck, you need a new one. Remember, Apple puts litmus paper in all of its iPods, so they will know if it has gotten wet. Water damage is not covered by your warranty. iPhone/iTouch Questions 1. Jailbreaking/Unlocking. Quote:
iTunes Questions 1. I want to open an iTunes account, but i dont have a credit card If you buy an iTunes gift card, available in many, many places, you can open an account with one of them. This is a living FAQ, any question that is asked frequently, or is deemed important enough to be FAQ'd, will be FAQ'd.

Once again, Jimmy, I still can't get my iTunes working, any help? Do you think if I download the latest iTunes and put it on USB and transfer it to my computer, it will work?

Damn, i really dont understand why it is freezing all the time... Are you having a similar problem with deleting/downloading anything else?
How are you deleting your current iTunes, are you just dragging it to the trash or are you using the add/delete app thing for windows? |

No theres no option to do it with the iPod. You could go about changing all the music on your ipod to mono mp3 files, although thats a lot of hassle. Alternatively, you could probably get around with a splitter cable, and a joiner cable.. but using them along with headphones could get very messy while out and about... unless there is a small stereo to mono splitter box that you could get your hands on  |

You have admin priveledges on your PC right? Try creating a new user, then log out of your current one, and log into the new one. Use iTunes there, and see does it still freeze up on you. |

Okay, find both these files. Quit iTunes, Move the first one to desktop, and then open iTunes and test it, if the problem persists, move it back, and do the same with the second file.
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes |

The only thing I don't like about my ipod nano 16gb, is that it sorts the albums by
album-artists. Completely fucks you over if you've got compilation albums etc. where each song is listed with a different artist, so even though they're on the same album they still show up individually in the album list. Why? What's the point? Why sort songs by album if it splits the albums up in the list? |

Im almost positive somewhere in iPod settings there is a way to browse with compilations grouped together.
EDIT: Thanks, although i cant really take full credit for it. A lot of it was lifted from the last thread. |

If you go into settings, is there an option to "Group Compilations"?
