Lost silver ipod touch. 21-25 February 2014. London

In the last week I lost my brand new silver ipod touch my wife gave me for me birthday. It has a black leather effect case and Sony sport earphones. Probably lost on my way to work from Brixton to the Excel Centre in London. Travelled by bus, Victoria, Jubilee, Northern and DLR. If anyone has found I will be eternally grateful and have my faith restored back in mankind.

Touch screen cable too short?

Am having an insuperable problem with replacing a screen in a 4th Gen Touch



I have done these successfully before but with this one, the screen cable is just too short to connect to the chassis, - just before plonking the screen assembly back into the chassis.



I notice others have made reference to having to push the connector in with a tool because they cant press it in while the screen is at right angles to the chassis because their cables are too short. But with mine even if i get connectivity and do manage to drop the screen back into the chassis, the cable seems to be so short that it just pops out again almost immediately



Has anyone else come across such an el-cheapo screen assembly or am I doing something wrong please?



There is a dent in the casing which prevents the screen from going quite all the way back into the chassis and lying completely flush with the outer edge of the case but I don't think that is the problem. Does everyone disagree?

iTunes cannot find the original song

1. I bought a new Dell computer.

2. My iTunes songs were imported into iTunes . . . .

3. Yesterday I played some of the songs without problem.

4. Today I selected Show Duplicates and sent the duplicates to the Recycle Bin.

5. I tried to play several (about 6 or 7) songs and got the message: "iTunes cannot find the original song." (None of the songs, apparently, will play.)



If anyone could suggest a workaround to playing the songs, I would appreciate hearing from you.



I've got my entire library on two iPods (Fifth Generation). Would it be easier to just transfer the iPod contents to my computer . . . . ?

podcast app with pc sync

Is there any podcast players that have a corresponding way to play and sync with my pc? I use downcast now on my iphone, but it would be nice to be able to sync and play on my computer as well.



I know the native podcast app from Apple does through ITunes, but all I hear is how bad of a job it does.

Basic questions re receiving and forwarding pictures

Help please re pictures received on my early model iPad.



I received an email with five pictures: two of the five showed the actual picture with a small icon below each showing the picture title.jpg, its size (eg 3.3 MB). and a down arrow. Three of the five showed only the icon. When I click on one of the icons I get a message that the picture is loading and, indeed, it then appears.



These are some of the question that I have::



1. Why do some of the pictures display without first clicking the icon and others do not? Does clicking the icon start the downloading process?



2. How do I SAVE the pictures? Are the saved pictures then added to those I see when I click the PHOTOS icon on my iPad opening screen? Can I save some but not all five of the pictures?



3. How can I forward the pictures (or just one or two of the five) by email to a third party? I tried forwarding the entire email via my Yahoo account but that attempt failed as the combined nuumber of bytes exceeded the allowable limit (as I learned from a “Your message could not be delivered” messae). How can I select just one or two of the five pictures to be foorwarded?



If there is a good tutorial that answers these (and other such questions) I’d like to get its URL.



Thanks for your help (and patience). .... wdc

Anybody editing video on thier iPad?

Hey there, I'm a software engineer and I'm looking to see if anyone in your community wants to help us hone a new prototype we're developing. We're building a brand new product with the intent to offer a lot of functionality to people who lack the time, skills, or beefy hardware necessary to tell their story with video.

The product name is still TBD, but our code name is "Hammersmith". At this phase, Hammersmith consists of a strong prototype and we're looking for amateur video artists to help us focus on the features that would be the best value to users. If you're someone who's been looking for a way to optimize your video but you feel like desktop tools are either too expensive or confusing, we'd love to have you in our community of beta users.

This effort is just getting started. We're planning on giving people the opportunity to share knowledge and submit videos to the rest of the group (with some spirited competition for prestige and prizes mixed in). The best part for where we are is that both sides of the spectrum, frustration or complete success, will help us make the app awesome. I should mention that we also plan on providing a lot of help to those experiencing problems ;).

So, if you own an iPad and fit the mold of an eager amateur looking to take your video up a notch, we would love to get to know you. Our current mission is to capture true amateurs without a lot of experience using desktop tools, but we will definitely hold the names of others with more chops for when we expand our community further. Please let me know if you're interested and I'll Answer any other questions you might have.

Thanks!

Restoring older backups, turning find my iphone off...deleted notes Outlook

Setup: Windows 7, Outlook 2003, latest iTunes and iOS updates, iPhone 5

I perform regular manual backups of iPhone in addition to choosing "Automatically Back Up" (to) "This Computer". I only use iCloud for Find My iPhone feature, no backups.

I am in the process of getting pc ready for major backups to external hard drives.



Seeking help/advice/input with the questions below, please.......



Missing notes and possibly contacts:

I wanted to backup my notes and contacts on my iPhone to Outlook because I wanted another copy of them directly on the PC, not sure why but notes were deleted from the iPhone, not sure about contacts at this point, have not yet compared... and though the iPhone had 43 notes, there were only 18 showing up in Outlook and on the iPhone. My main concern was getting the notes back since I did not have a backup of them. (I have only ever used Outlook for notes and contacts when I had a Blackberry, never setup an email for it).



Luckily yesterday I had made backup copies of:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer which includes the MobileSync (iPhone backup)



After what I thought was a successful sync with Outlook, I again made an iPhone backup, and again made copies of the above 2 folders as backup this morning. I did not notice my missing notes until later this afternoon..



I guess from what I am reading Outlook sync is buggy? Is there another way to export notes from the iPhone to a PC and save them possibly in text files?



Restore Backup/Find my iPhone issues

iTunes told me that I could not restore backup because I had to turn off Find my iPhone first. This option on the iPhone was greyed out, it was stuck "on".

I followed the directions for "Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone" in this article: iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone but of course whenever the iPhone came back on and connected to the internet I still could not turn off Find my iPhone. I was baffled. The other solution listed there is to erase the device which I was too nervous about doing. Somehow after reading this article: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings I figured I would delete my iCloud account and see if that would let me proceed. It did and I wish it had stated so in the first article.

What if in the future I do want to use iCloud to backup my notes, contacts, reminders? Would this have been more than a catch 22 than it seems to be? I would be deleting my back up....





Restoring from older backups?

I have never had to restore my iPhone before today. I was surprised to see I could not find any older backups to choose from even though I had diligently made manual backups. A shocking wake up call.



Is there a way to have iTunes see more than the recent backup? I read something about tricking iTunes by using different device names...how does that work? Or does anyone else have a better method? I did right click on my device in the source window and chose "Restore from Backup", but only saw my most recent backup.



How does user pricewc in this thread at apple discussions have all those backups listed (see image in middle of page)? Is that because they were named with the timestamps? http://ift.tt/Os9rHf



Since I could not find an older back up via iTunes. I went into the MobileSync/Backup folder, deleted everything that was there (I had a back up of this). And then I pasted yesterday's version of the contents of that folder there. I tried to restore from backup again but I was met with the message: "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "xxxx's iPhone" because not enough free space is available on the iPhone." So I restored the iPhone to new (via iTunes), and then was able to restore from yesterday's backup All seems to be OK.



As I had made some changes to the notes since yesterday, I was really hoping to restore to an earlier backup that I made early this morning before the Outlook sync, but I could not locate that backup time via iTunes. It only shows me one choice. Though I see multiple files in that MobileSync/Backup folder that point to the desired time. Is there anyway I can restore a specific backup time that I remember?



So every time that I make a manual backup of the iPhone, I should also manually back up the MobileSync folder? As well as change my device name every time?



One last question, on the PC, to make manual backups of photos and videos made on the iPhone, do I just copy and paste from Computer\xxxx’s iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM? Is this the best way to do that?

Mophie Powerstation XL...problem

Anyone got a Mophie Powerstation XL?



I recently bought one from a well known national chain of Apple resellers in the UK.



The spec for the device is 12,000 mah, and this was clearly on the box in big letters as its main marketing point.



I charged it fully for 24hrs and flattened my iPad Mini Retina (battery c 6000 mah) in preparation for testing the Mophie.



Plugged the Mini into the Mophie and and it fully charged it, but the Mophie was then flat. Hmmm!



Then I looked closely at the tiny writing on the back of the Mophie and saw "EU 5900 mah". It was labelled as a Powerstation XL, not a Powerstation Duo or a Powerstation Duo XL which are similar Mophie products rated at 6000 mah.



I took it back the the Apple Reseller who checked the other ones in the store which also say "EU 5900 mah".



I have now left it with them to investigate.



Googling I found one other person has reported the same thing with no follow up.



Has anyone here got a Mophie Powerstation XL? if so what does the tiny writing on the back say?



Thanks

Why no ipad air privacy filter from 3M yet?

I had one for my previous ipad version and it worked great.

I'm looking for the landscape version.

Think 3M is having trouble producing one due to the retina screen?

I did see some complaints on the portrait model that since its removable and held on by stick on's by each corner it loses some touch sensitivity but I had no issues because i did not use the stickies since my yoobao case held it on tightly against the screen.

Im looking for the "privacy filter" model since I dont need a screen protector version.

Soundcheck not working

I'm posting to see if anyone is having the same issue as me. I have soundcheck in iTunes enabled. I then replace the values iTunes calculated with ReplayGain values calculated by iVolume (I don't actually do it, the program does). Everything is fine for the majority of songs in my iTunes library.



However, there are some specific albums where iTunes will ignore the soundcheck values and just play the songs very quietly. It will even ignore the soundcheck numbers that it calculates. There are about 3-4 albums (all from different artists) in my iTunes library that do this and it's annoying as they are some of my favorites.



I can edit the track tag information of the songs individually and iTunes will play them back fine just once. After that, it plays them quietly again. It's very annoying that iTunes is doing this. Neither my iPhone 5 or iPad mini have this issue as they playback the songs at the appropriate volumes (both have soundcheck enabled).



I can disable soundcheck in iTunes and it will play the songs back at a much louder volume, it's not the volume calculated by iVolumes but it's almost twice as loud as when soundcheck is enabled. I checked the soundcheck values and those aren't the issue. I adjusted one album to be +20dB (which should just be distorted noise) and iTunes played it back at the same quiet volume.



This is all under OS X Mavericks with the latest version of iTunes (and all appropriate OS X updates). This is a problem that has showed up back in Lion and has come up continually with the same few albums. Then again, I never fully re-install OS X whenever I upgrade as there is no need to (and I can't since I have too many virtual machines that I would have to rebuild along with re-installing over 50 programs and getting those up and running, something that would all take a month to do).

Ipod just changed all my artist pictures out of no where?

So I have had my Ipod 5th gen for a couple months now, and usually when I scroll through the artist section the picture used for the artist would be one of the album arts from that artist, which I liked.



So last night I had my Wi-fi on my Ipod on, and long and behold all my pictures in the artist section have changed. They are now ugly and I don't like them and I don't like being forced using pictures I don't like or choose. Why did this happen and is there any way to disable it?

iTunes library management software cross platform

Hi Guys,



Doing a small feedback poll here on tools for iTunes library management across network. Would be great if all would help and I could receive as much input as possible!



How many of you have always wanted a mechanism within iTunes or a software that can help you manage iTunes libraries better, where in you can Sync, Merge, Organize, Transfer, Remove Duplicates by comparing iTunes libraries across all of your Macs, PCs, and iOS devices. Or wanting to have a remote access capability to access your iTunes from a different physical location or a different computer within the same home network?



Also, is there any other feature you would like to have in iTunes library management tools?



Would be great if you all could help in the survey!



Thanks,

SuperSync Team

Hi all, I want to upgrade my classic (manually managed) iPod but the old one is crammed with individual mp3's & albums from my CD collection & albums not from the iTunes store. If I sync it to my computer, will all of this get backed up to my computer? Then connect the new one, sync that too? Will my old mp3's/albums be on the new one? Is it that simple?

MP3 artwork and copytrans manager help needed

Hi,



I have a 5th gen iPod classic and have been using copytrans manager for years without issue. (I much prefer this over iTunes, as I like the flexibility).

However, some months ago, I plugged the iPod into the laptop and *something* happened because suddenly all my album artwork disappeared. I have close to 2,000 albums on it, and all the artwork has gone.



My question is this: is there a failproof way of adding album art to an mp3's ID tags? And if so, what software would do this so that it would be permanently embedded in the actual file?



A lot of the artwork I had edited within copytrans manager itself, and I thought that by doing that, I was inputting the artwork to the mp3 file. Obviously I am wrong.



Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Please say it's a software issue and NOT hardware

I have a 160gb classic. I've had no problems with it until recently. The battery was dead and when I charged it, I also went to the new iTunes on my pc and I THINK I may have upgraded the software of the device but not sure. Its version 2.0.4



Anyway, it was not being recognized properly so decided to do a factory reset. I loaded some stuff and it's showing that there is less space available but it's still showing no music and the files are all shown as "other"...There is basically nothing on there. Is this a software or hardware conflict? Any idea about what version of software I should be running?



What is the best way to wipe this completely clean and start from scratch?

Remote App - does iTunes show device connected?

Hi

I can't seem to find the answer to this on the web. Shouldn't iTunes show which device is controlling the library via the Remote App? For ex. iPhone 5 or Apple TV? I checked all the view options, preferences, etc. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if iTunes does not show what device is being used as a Remote for it.... The Remote App on the iPhone 5 seems to work just great, just confused why it does not show up in iTunes on the PC.

Relative quality of DAC?

My wife has an iPod Nano 3rd Generation that she likes the sound of, even more so now that we bought a couple of TracFone android models. The audio quality of the android phones is, well, crappy.



I suspect that devices that do almost "everything" (like the iPod Touch) may sacrifice some audio quality to, say, an iPod Classic that mostly only provides audio. I've been to this web site to review various iPod specs:

everymac(dot)com/systems/apple/ipod/index-ipod-specs (sorry... I'm not allowed to post a link....)



Apparently, iPods don't have a dedicated DAC, probably using the processor to accomplish that task. So, all I can glean from these specs is that both the iPod Nano and the iPod Classic have the same processor -- Samsung ARM. The iPod Touch has the processor identification as: "1 (2 cores)"



Well, that doesn't tell me anything. If I were to upgrade from the Nano AND audio quality was my primary concern (playing AAC), which would provide the better audio -- the iPod Classic or the Touch (64 GB)? (I realize that the iPod Classic would simply be an upgrade in memory, and not necessarily audio quality.)



I think it would be nearly impossible for me to load familiar music into each of these at a store to sample. (It they accepted memory cards then that would be another story. All replies --objective or subjective opinions -- welcome. Thanks.

Video Player recommendation for ipad

As the title states, looking for a video player recommendation. I'd like to have a single video player app capable of:

1) Continuous video playback for multiple files (preferably by way of video playlists)

and

2) Support of chapter markers in single video files



Right now I have oPlayer lite for the former and the native Apple player for the latter. Hard to determine browsing the app store which player(s) might provide both. Doesn't have to be a free app, just one that supports how I need it to work :)

OK OK, i knmow i am not too popular here. but i am desperate. this all started when itunes prompted me to update to a newer version. the update froze un and failed and my itunes would not work. i had to start over and reinstall...on several tries. all my playlists got erased, at least my music is back. to make a long story short... i am afraid to plug in my ipod classic. My itunes has been dong starnge stuff. after i got all my playlists back a few days later... my itunes library dissapeared because my computer froze up and i had to go to emeergenct shut down. turn my com back on (theres a chcdsk issue too but differant topic) my library dissapeared so guess what i had to do the playlist thing all over again. after all this trouble. i have not yet pluged in my ipod classic and to be honest i am afraid to. i went to google to look some of this stiff up, i think i saw a dialouge where you could keep the music you alreadt have in there and add more from the new itunes library. because i tell you, to be honest, i'm afraid if the take the music out and put it back in again again something will be corrupted. someone help, plaese!:(:(:(

1 ipod but 2 iTunes accounts?

First let me say that I apologize if this is a really dumb question but I am an iPod newbie. Here is what I am trying to do:



Let's say I have 16,000 songs in iTunes library #1 (my hubby's account, on his PC)



And I have 1,000 songs in iTunes library #2 (My account, on my Macbook)



And I want to load 3000 songs from iTunes library #1 into my ipod

and 500 songs from iTunes library #2 into my ipod, can i do that?



Can I just connect my ipod to my hubby's itunes library and load the 3000 songs,

and then connect the ipod into my library and load the second set of songs?

All on the same ipod?



All I wanna do is make a BIG playlist for the car with tunes from his library and tunes from my library.

Does the iPod Classic show embed information?

I know the iPod Classic cannot show track number tags, but would it show if I would to use MP3Tag and enter in let's say information like month, date, and year for a artist/band? Or the Classic does not show that information, period?

Where could I buy a 240GB with the work already done?

Where could I buy the 240GB iPod Classic Upgrade where someone put the 240GB hard drive into the Classic and sold the iPod with the 240GB all ready to go without going to a repair shop that does upgrades?





Please correct me. I think the ones in reference are the 5th Gen Upgrade Service, right? I don't know what Gen I have, but possibly buy one in a couple of months but not one where I'll buy the 240GB and take it into a repair shop or do it myself, but instead where someone already opened the Classic and took out the 160GB and put the 240GB in. I seen them on eBay, but which ones are the best and real ones without being ripped off? Or could someone recommend better than eBay?

iTunes has randomly set itself to wrong language (Dutch)

Any ideas about how to change iTunes (11.1.3.8) display language back to UK English? I've worked through the Dutch equivalent of Edit>Preferences>General>Language> English (United Kingdom) (all options in this Language drop down menu at the bottom are in Dutch, so can only choose the Dutch equivalent of English (UK). Have then closed and re-opened iTunes, and even rebooted my PC (running Windows 7), but the iTunes display language remains stubbornly in Dutch.



I know I haven't updated iTunes to latest version, but do not want to do this as attempting to install it caused Windows errors that forced me to use system restore.



Any help appreciated.

Addicted by choosing portable sound systems. Requesting an advice.

Hi everyone. I wanna ask your advice and share some experience about my searching of a portable speaker/sound system:)



I need a portable speaker for traveling (deep forest trips and high mountain climbing, music with me in my backpack). So im searching a sound system that will be able to survive during my actions and will be enough comfortable for using (i mean weight less than 2kg's and form must be something suitable for my backpack). Rugged/waterproof design is well but if not - its ok also. Budget is around 500$.. i wanna find the best quality stuff for a long and happy using.





Few details, requirements:



- it must be a 2.0 channel sound system. No subwoofer please (i will describe my type of music later)

- 8 hours of playtime at least.

- AUX input (i will use only it)

- 6watt + power. No need really high volumes.. but sound quality and balance needed.



My music is fast mental psytrance fully loaded with frequences. I dont need TOO MUCH bass.. dont need overpowered bass.. better less but more quality and better balance with Highs and Mids. And there will be lots of subbass and Highs in the sound.

I prefer clear, detailed and balanced sound. I hate subwoofers on such music coz they makes the bass muddy and get localized very fast. So 2.0 driver sound system is the best choice for me.



Now few words about my experience i already had with such type speakers:



My last try was Grain Audio PWS

I saw many good reviews on it and decided to buy. Now im returning it back.

Pity that i ordered it before there was a review of it on this site.

When i tested it with my music ive got too overpowered muddy bass over other frequences.. Psytrance electronic music was unlistenable on this speaker. I was unsure that "passive bass radiator" will create subwoofer-like effect.. but what ive got was really terrible. After it i affraid to order something without pre-listening and affraifd of all this passive bass radiators :confused:





Philips Fidelio P9WHT



The good. The sound is "big", very loud, balance is ok.

The bad. Phillips makes their own sound signature which can be described as "soft" on all frequences. This is heared in many phillips speakers and is bad coz its not the "real" sound. Dont want to listen to such sound signature everytime in every track. The charge is impossible via USB so i have i risk of getting low battery without opportunitty to charge via travel usb charger.



Philips Shoqbox SB7220



Again same thing with "Phillips" mild sound. Little stereo panorama. Muddy sound.



Creative Airwave HD



"tiny" plastic sound. Not enough detailed and crisp. Sound changing when i just slight move my head left or right.



Sony SRS-BTX300



Simply bad.. dirty sound.. splashing muddy bass. Heavy, glossy, uncomfortable for wearing.



Most of all i like some JBL speakers.. their sound was the best for me.. Its real, detailed and balanced.

but form wasn't. They all like boomboxes for home listening, not travel.

JBL Charge got subwoofer at left and its too small for me.

JBL flim is tiny also.





So, for now i only have alot of compromises which unables me to choose anything.

I really like CES 2014 announced Braven BRV-X speaker which design is simple awesome for my needs.

But i afraid this Passive bass radiator will make same thing i've got with Grain Audio PWS speaker.. and wall charger option without usb charge makes me confused.. But if it 12 hours.. its ok.. just hope it will REALLY survive this 12 hours on middle volume via AUX.. even no bluetooth.



I can see there are many users of portable acoustics here, hope someone can advice me something.. and maybe my experience will be useful for someone too. Big thanks for this website creaters for such detailed and informative fresh reviews.. keep up the good work. Will be great if sonmeone who really tested all this speakers can help solve my confusion!:D

Deleting individual pictures

A new owner of a hand-me-down iPad (the earliest model), I'd be much obliged if someone would tell me how to scroll through several hundred photos and selectively delete many of them.



Are these instructions spelled out in a document (that I may already have on my iPad)?



Right now I am in "Slideshow" mode where i can view the photos as they successively appear and fade out. I can stop the scroll by pressing the photo and I can then email that photo by clicking the arrow icon in top right corner. How can I DELETE that photo?



Can I mark several photos and then send them all in one email operation?

Can I mark several photos and then erase them all in one operation?



Thanks for your help. ....wdc

How to type on an iPad?

I have never really learned how to manipulate text on my iPad, feel I really should learn.



Would someone please tell me how to correct the typo Zbase to base? How to delete the Z? There must be a better way than deleting the whole word.



Sometimes I find that the first letter of a word is shown as uppercase when I really want it to be lowercase; and it seems that there is nothing I can do to get the iPad to show it as lower case. What's going on?



Is there a help page on the web that goes into these things -- how to type on an iPad?



Thanks for any suggestions. ...wdc

Ipod Classic 120 White Screen

About 2 weeks ago I cracked the screen on my iPod classic, so I ordered a replacement. It got here I installed it, when I powered it up again the screen would stay white, I could hear music and hear the clicking when I moved the wheel but no picture, so I took it all apart again re-seated all of the plugs and nothing, i did this a few times to make sure. So I thought maybe I got a bad screen, so I ordered another one because they are cheap just to make sure and the same issue, I tried doing a reset holding middle button down and menu. I updated the firmware and reset in iTunes, nothing has worked so far.



I also replaced the audio jack/lock slide piece, Prior to this the only problem was the screen was cracked. So I don't know what I did wrong when installing it that may have damaged something else? I don't really feel like taking it somewhere and being charged 100 for something that cost 10$

Erratic behavior from iPod Classic

Hi all! I seem to be having an issue with an iPod Classic 160GB. Attempting to play music results in the iPod cycling through tracks, jumping around, and occasionally playing moments of certain songs. Here's a video of it's behavior: youtu.be / 532CFdfgoPo (minus the spaces)



Also, maybe this is normal behavior - but I can hear the hard drive clicking as it works. I'm unfamiliar with just how audible the drive is supposed to be.



So far I've tried running a disk check on it in Windows (found no errors), a defrag, a factory reset, and importing a brand new library (so that I know it's certainly not an issue with the files).



Any ideas on what this can be? Is it just a fried hard drive?



Thanks in advance for any help!

Any thoughts from anyone?

Changing from Google German to English

The Google icon on my newly acquired iPad (a very early model) brigs up a German language version of Google search. How can I get the English version?



If I type "www.google.com" into the Safari search bar, I get the German version. Is there a global change to English I have to make in Settings?



Thanks. ...wdc

Syncing music to original (click wheel) iPod.

I've seen a couple of posts saying iTunes is extremely backwards compatible?



Is that still the case or are there any other music apps that can sync music across to the very first iPod?



Mine doesn't show in iTunes or as a drive within osx itself? The FireWire connection is a bit dodgy but it still shows as charging and 'OK to disconnect'.

M blue ltd

I have had the same issues with this company. I sent my I phone 5 to them on 3/1/14 for water damage repair and I am still awaiting its return.

I have contacted them each week to be told that they are either waiting for spare parts, waiting for a technician to review it or just last week, that they have returned it by special delivery.

They refuse to let me speak either to a technician or a manager.

I have requested my money back for the delay but they apparently will only reply via an e mail. Fat chance!

I have passed this on to trading standards , HMRC , and will contact watchdog.

They need to be caught and shown to be a scam.

Any way will be grateful if someone can recommend me on a stable and good looking ipad stand.

Thanks

Can an iPod Classic show Track Number tags?

Hi all



I'm new to iPods so please forgive the newbie question!



I've just uploaded a few albums and I see that the tracks are listed with no number. They ARE in the correct order. So that's all good. But if I could choose, I would have the track number (from metadata) displayed as well.



Is that a possibility or a no-no on the iPod Classic?



Cheers
