I pod advice please

[BensGrandad]

I have just bought an I pod on ebay which is manufactured refurbished but when I plug it into the Pc it doesnt show as being attached to it. Have been through the checks and it says that an I pod is recognised by Windows but not by I tunes how do I retify this.

Are you sure it is an iPod if you purchased it on ebay, says he who bought a book for a charlatan that hasn't sent it and does not answer questions.

It came froma dealer witha 99.8% positive rating. Has all the apple signs on it and when switched on it shows the apple trademark. Tried going on the apple website to ask for advice but it says enter serial no and to read that on the back of the casing is virtually impossible.

Think you may have been done

iPod is one word BG. You are a legend fella, never fail to put a smile on my face.

Have you tried holding down the centre and top part of the dials together to reset it? then try reconnecting and see if it finds it.

Download iTunes first then plug it in.

If still no joy you may have been done mate.

That's a nice offer right there, but don't you two start getting jiggy with it when you meet up, I'll be put right off my chicken pie watching sone granny and grandad go for it.

Didn't seem worth starting a new thread about this...

A friend is struggling with the following dilemma...

Anyone advise how to get my iTunes music library on my new iPhone... Apparently I should have used the backup from iPod when initially connecting iPhone to iTunes but I didn't read instructions and I don't want to lose all the contacts that I have just added to iPhone so am now wondering if another way to do it without restoring and losing contacts... Help!!!?? Please !!!!

Many thanks!

plug the phone in to computer with auto sync off, check the box to allow manual update, and click and drag from itunes to iphone?

Can't he just import the iTunes playlists he wants from his computer onto his iPhone?

Had the same problem a few years back.Try deleting Itunes,having backed up your music files to disc,plug in Ipod,computer recognizes hard drive,unplug Ipod.Download Itunes again,Ipod ok when plugged in & will download your music when prompted.(I'm totally useless at IT but it worked for me-good luck!)
