During SYNC Video ipod EJECTS (Removes) on its own

After a couple of minutes of syncing with iPod sitting untouched on desk the iPod is automatically ejected with a warning that the device was improperly removed and that data was probably lost since the device was impropperly ejected. No one touched either the iPod or the USB cord- it just happens. The iPod is then kicked out of iTunes still displaying the DO NOT DISCONNECT warning on its screen.
We've tried restoring the iPod, etc. Just before the 'automatic' removal we do HEAR the harddrive -spinning?
U-2 video iPod purchased from Apple store Aug. 2006. Thank You!

It may be an issue with the USB port on the computer, try another port.

    1) When I go to the apple.com website my computer will either be really slow or freeze my whole system down to where I have to reboot my computer again. This does not happen all the time but when it does operate it is molasses slow.

  • Disk could not be read from or written to during syncing to iPod touch

    Hi there,
    I just got the iPod touch 16gb. When I try to sync videos to the iPod, it will ultimately stop and give me the error about disk not be read from or written to during syncing. In addition, when the iPod charging battery logo and the whole screen for that matter go blank, iTUNES displayed an error message of Device has timed out. Thus, I have to close and reopen iTUNES to sync new music or video files. This didn't happen with my iPod video 30gb. It seems like the device times out so quickly. It is annoying. Anyway, please offer any suggestions. Thank you.

    I'm having the same synching problem. It looks like file size is a factor. Most of my music library transfered over ok, but only after I de-selected podcasts and videos.
    The movie file I'm testing with is 1.2 GB. It gets about 7/8's of the way, progress stops, and then a dialog opens saying that the disc can not be read from or written to.
    When moving just music the Touch consistently gets through 263 songs (2.38 GB) of 275 songs (2.70 GB). It seems to miss the long audiobooks.
    Interestingly my 1st gen 2 GB Nano is also having the same error "can not be read from or written to" when I synch my podcasts. In disc mode I can copy over the 1.2 GB movie no problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. I would really like to stick some movies on the Touch.

  • ITunes10 'stops working' during Sync to iPod Nano 5G and Ipod Nano 3 G.

    Since upgrading to *iTunes 10* I can't sync my ipod nanos. Within 3 songs I get an iTunes has stopped working message & then iTunes hangs until I click the Close Program button.

  • ITunes has stopped working (during sync with ipod)

    This seems to be a popular problem with varied solutions -- miss my music! Hoping for help.
    When I try to sync my iPod to iTunes it gets a few tunes onto the iPod then it crashes with a Windows (Vista) popup saying that "iTunes has stopped working".
    I reset the iPod to factory settings, same results.
    I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, no help.
    If I ask iTunes to not automatically sync, and create just one playlist and add a few tunes to it, I can get it to load about 10-20 more songs every other time or so but this is going to be painful with thousands of songs to go.
    I understand from reading other posts that I may be asked to paste in information from an error log but I don't know how to get to that log.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Ah, I found this, this time, when the error popped up. Is this what's needed to figure it out?

  • Why does my iPod start playing on its own.

    MY iPod lives in the docking station and every now then it just starts playing on its own accord.  How can I stop this as some nights it frightens the life out me!!!

    Do you have any alarms set up on the device? Perhaps you can try a hard reset of the iPod and then see how it does for a few days again.

  • Power button on iPod touch operates on its own

    Hello,
    I have a 64 GB 3rd generation iPod touch.  I bought it new about four years ago.  It has NEVER given me any problems mechanically, and I know Apple has a good track record for this.  However, about a week ago, response of the power button became a little spotty.  I figured this was no big deal, as the device is four years old, it should be expected that every single button should not be as responsive as it was the day I got it.  I left it at that and enabled Assistive Touch to releive some of the stress of the power button.  This worked fine until three days ago, when the power button actually began to dictate to the device on its own.  I am getting the same spotty response of the button, but now it will wake up the device and put it back to sleep again all on its own.  I could be in the middle of selecting a new song or giving a voice command - then bam!  The device puts itself to sleep.  There are times when the device receives so much input from the power button it will flicker on and off from receiving so many spastic commands.  Then, at other times, the device behaves as normal.  A good way to describe this is electronic epilepsy.  The device will be functioning as normal - then the next moment - it literally appears to be having some sort of seizure.  It flickers on and off and sends all of the imaginable commands from the power button one could think of.  Sometimes the button sends the shutdown signal and I get the "Side to Power Off" pane.  I know this is an old device and that these mechanical altercations should be expected, but this makes it very, very difficult, and above all, irritating, to accomplish a task even as mundane as switching songs.  Like I said, this little iPod has been great and it has withstood many elements which should have done it in (like braving extreme sub-zero and above-100F temperatures multiple times).  So its life has not been a walk in the park, but it never displayed any signs of weakness, which is why I am baffled that in a perfect working enviromnent this odd quirck is occuring.  But I like to think of it as a workhorse, and I sure as heck wasn't looking to invest in another flagship iPod model just at the moment, so I would dearly love to get this issue resolved and get back to having this thing as my daily companion.  I have already done a factory reset and set it up as a new iPod.  This did not help.  Are there any suggestions as to what I can do to just get this device under control?  Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Deleting and syncing videos / iPod software version

    Two questions:
    1) I have videos downloaded through iTunes on my computer and synced on my iPod. They are taking up way too much space on my computer's hard drive, though, and I was wondering if I delete them from my iTunes Library and off my computer, will they remain on my iPod the next time I sync?
    2) I have an outdated version of iPod software. How important is it to have the most current version?

    1) I have videos downloaded through iTunes on my computer and synced on my iPod. They are taking up way too much space on my computer's hard drive, though, and I was wondering if I delete them from my iTunes Library and off my computer, will they remain on my iPod the next time I sync?
    No, if you delete from the library and sync then they will be deleted. You could either switch to manual managment of your iPod or you can remove the physical files from your computer while retaining the entries for them in the iTunes library. When you try to sync again iTunes will report that it cannot sync certain files as they cannot be found, but it should leave the previously synced files on your iPod. You can disable the warning if you choose. You will still be able to add new videos onto the iPod by adding them into iTunes, then syncing. You can also remove items you no longer want on the iPod by deleting their library entries. I would stress, however, that this method should be avoided if it results in the iPod containing the only copy of a particular file because the iPod could easily be lost, stolen or need restoring at some point. When (and not if!) you restore your iPod, you will lose all the files on it. For this reason a better appraoch would be to get an external drive to hold data you don't want on your main computer & sync from that.
    2) I have an outdated version of iPod software. How important is it to have the most current version?
    Only really matters if there's a new feature or bug fix which affects you. Since Apple don't publish a list of bug fixes it can be hard to tell. Me, I'm all for the latest version but others are more cautious. Horror tales of "the update bricked my iPod" are common enough on here, but you don't generally hear the voices of happier users so I wouldn't worry too much.

  • ITunes 11.1.1.11 errors out During SYNC with iPod Touch

    I have an issue with iTunes 11.1.1.11 on my Windows 7 computer. When my iPod Touch, Generation 4 is connected and trying to select the Podcasts Tab in the iPod window with my iPod connected, iTunes locks up and freezes. The only way to get iTunes to do anything is to open Task Manager and end task for iTunes as it shows it as not responding.
    I have tried to remove and clean install iTunes again and it does the same thing.

    I'm having this issue on the following computers and devices:
    2011 15" MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with these devices: an iPad 2 running 7.0.3 and a 4G iPod Touch running 6.1.3.
    2010 13" MacBook Pro running Lion with a 3G iPod Touch running 5.1.1.
    The problem started when I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.2. So, at least for me the culprit seems to be iTunes.

    Same thing has been happening to me after updating both iTunes and my iPhone today... keeps getting stuck at "Finishing Sync."  I managed to fix it though... when it's stuck on "Finishing Sync", find your device in iTunes (if you have the preview pane open on the left side, you'll see it under 'devices').  Then click the 'Sync" button on the bottom right.  It'll do a sync to your device again, but it won't hang on the last step anymore (at least it didn't for me).  I hope that helps anyone else with the same problem!
    Thanks! That fixed it.

  • Errors (-50), (-48) during sync on iPod classic

    IiPod classi worked fine until a week ago. All of the sudden started skipping songs randomly, freezing and glitching. Will only sync up to 600 songs.
    ive attempted restoring, formatting, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and all diagnostics come back clean or don't come back.
    I Have software version 2.0.4
    error -50 ->dead hard drive?
    help in all forms is appreciated!

    Here are a number of things to try...
    Recover media from a manually managed iPod
    What follows are tips for restoring your iPod, but if it is the only location currently hosting some of your media then the first task is to try to extract it. See the user tip Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for some recovery tools. Most third party tools will probably require the device to have a functioning library however the techniques outlined in the iLounge Article referenced at the end should work as long as the device still shows up in Windows Explorer or Finder.
    Check your iPod with Diagnostics Mode
    It is possible that your iPod's hard drive has started to fail. Take your iPod and place your right thumb on the centre SELECT button and your left on the top MENU button. Press down both thumbs for about 6 seconds until your iPod reboots. Immediately move your left thumb around to the rewind button |<< on the left and hold this down together with SELECT for a further 6 seconds. Your iPod should now switch into Diagnostic Boot mode. Press MENU for Manual Test, then select IO > HardDrive > HDSMARTData to reveal your stats. For comparison here are mine taken when my 6th Generation Classic was about 2 years old:
    Retracts: 889
    Reallocs: 12
    Pending Sectors: 0
    PowerOn Hours: 2202
    Start/Stops: 894
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 10c
    Temp: Max 50c
    Take a note of your results. When finished press MENU+SELECT for 6 seconds to reset the iPod again.
    With modern disc drives sectors are no longer marked bad by a disc scan, if the SMART firmware detects a sector it has trouble accessing it will attempt to invisibly reallocate it to a spare area of the disc.
    Note that I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. To help explain what the numbers mean here is an extract from the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
    Reallocated Sectors Count
    Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate. 
    Pending sector count
    Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
    Large numbers of Reallocs or Pending Sectors would suggest your drive is failing and that you may need to repair or replace your iPod. Check your stats after another attempt to update your iPod. If the numbers increase that again points to hard drive failure. While it won't be good news at least you'll know it isn't some random software problem and you can decide what to do next.
    Check iPod hard-drive for errors
    Assuming the diagnostics give the drive a clean bill of health it may still be worth checking the drive for logical file system errors.
    Hold MENU+SELECT on the iPod for about 6 seconds until it resets, then switch to PLAY+SELECT as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Open iTunes and in the Devices tab of the preferences menu check Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. Now connect your iPod to the computer, wait until it connects, then close iTunes.
    Windows: Browse My Computer and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click Check Now. Under Check disk options, select Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors (Optional - takes ages but a good idea if you've reason to suspect physical damage). Click Start.
    Mac: Run Disk Utility / Repair Disk for the equivalent process.
    This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold MENU+SELECT) and should stand a better chance of a successful restore. It might also pay to check the status of the source drive containing your media, particularly if no errors were found on the iPod.
    DFU Restore
    If the device still won't restore normally try this method. Connect the device to the USB cable, press MENU+SELECT like a standard reset but keep holding for 12 seconds. The device should reboot as normal and then the screen should go blank. Now open iTunes and try to restore again.
    Reformat Drive
    If all else fails try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from restoring it properly.
    Break up large transfers
    Once you've restored your iPod don't rush to dump all the data back exactly as it was before. I have found that lots of large or complex smart playlists can sometimes trigger constant reboots or dumping of the iPod's library. In addition, larger transfers can fail leaving data in an inconsistent state. Try this technique for populating the iPod in stages.
    In iTunes select the menu item File... New Smart Playlist. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music or whateverplaylist holds the bulk of the content you want on your device. Tick against Limit to, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer.
    Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule (File... Edit playlist) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists, etc.
