Hi Asley... I completely understand your frustration as I was having exactly the same problem!! But here some tips to try to help you... they worked for me:
1. Disable your anti virus and/ or firewall.
2.Reset your ipode. (press play/pause and the centre together for 6 seconds
3. Update and restore your ipod using the updater. (I advise you to download the latest version of the updater from the apple site)
4. Make sure that the USB port you are using is a good one. It might help if you change the usb port just in case.
open your i-tunes and then plug in your ipod. Sometimes it can take a few seconds.
Hope this helps! Let me know how you get on!

    Is it plugged in via a hub? If so, plug it directly into the box.
    If you're plugged into the box, try a different USB port.

  • Having Trouble getting data from iphone 4 to itunes so I can ultimately transfer to 4s.

    Original itunes machine is dead, so I deauthorized all machines and authorized current machine and couldn't sync items from phone to machine. Apple then told me to uninstall itunes and reinstall, have done so but still can't get it to sync all items from phone to itunes library. (It only synced purchased songs, none of the apps)  I want all the data on my phone to go to my computer, not what is on computer but can't get there. Any suggestions?

    Media sync (music videos, etc.) is 1 way. Computer to iPhone. Items purchased on the phone can be transferred using File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes. If you have music on the phone that was synced to it from another computer but not purchased from iTunes, you will either have to use the backup of your old computer to get it on the new one, as suggested above, or invest in 3rd party software to extract it from the phone.

  • I have an older IPOD that I'm having trouble getting new purchases on to my IPOD. I use to have a source list on the left hand side of screen where I dragged my purchases to and they downloaded.  Can't find place to check manual vs. auto sync.

    I have an older IPOD classic that I'm having trouble getting new purchases from library to IPOD. I use to have a IPOD icon in the source list on the left side of the screen. Now that is all gone. My purchases are coming up as recently purchased but can't figure out how to get them transferred to IPOD.  I also can't find how to confirm setting is for manual not auto sync as the first computer I had blew up and am now using a different one. I haven't had any of these problems prior to the updates.

    G'day Mate,
    As an avid flight simmer I bought a new soundcard my previous was
    an audigy 2 platinum ex with an external module I really liked but somehow all of a sudden I was getting a screech when using FS9 sor I opted to change to the present. Well stone the crows my soundcard was auto updated with new drivers and well you guessed it the soundcard did not show in the sound video controllers window No I have just joined this forum and it looks like3 you may have the answer for me . I am now going to do as you suggest and see what happens.
    I shall return with the outcome of my dilemma.
    Many thanks for your sound advice ( pardon the pun)

  • Im having trouble getting my macbook pro to boot up after a fail safe boot, im getting as far as the grey screen with the apple loggo. so im trying to run a disk repair but is saying the disk is locked, how do i unlock disk??

    Im having trouble getting my macbook pro to boot up after a fail safe boot, im getting as far as the grey screen with the apple loggo. so im trying to run a disk repair but is saying the disk is locked, how do i unlock disk??

    Some clarification may help.
    You say you cannot boot normally.  It shows a gray screen with the Apple logo.
    Did you say it will boot successfully in Safe Mode (boot, then hold down the Shift key)?
    How did you boot the machine to run Disk Utility?  (Which keyboard combinations)?

    Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
    Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

  • HT3180 Anyone having trouble with Netflix not showing up in the internet menu?  I am trying to do a reset, but it says it can't download latest updates try again later.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • Having trouble getting my music to play on my iPad 2 (5.1.1)

    Having trouble getting my music to play, this really annoys me because I spent MY money on itunes for these songs and suddenly they won't work anymore. They've worked in the past so I don't understand what could be going wrong. Only the songs that I've synced to my device from CDs work. I select a song hit the play button and nothing happens, it doesn't work with or withought earphones in. I've tried recycling my device multiple times too and I haven't dropped it recently so I don't know what the problem is. Please help me understand and fix my problem. Thanks in advance

    Hi there:  I had a similar problem with both my iPhone 4s and my iPod Touch 4g.  Sony was very helpful.

    Basically, unplug the dock for ten seconds, then reset your phone.  Voila!  It worked for me.  Hope that helps.

  • I am trying to boot Ubuntu 12.4 on my iBook G4, but am having trouble getting my iBook to recognize the boot disk in the CD Drive.  Why?

    I am trying to boot Ubuntu 12.4 on my iBook G4, but am having trouble getting my iBook to recognize the boot disk in the CD Drive. 
    I have pressed "C" during boot to force it to boot from the Optical Drive.  It boots normally.
    I have pressed "option" to get the boot menu.  The only option available is my hard disk drive.
    I have pressed "option""command""shift""delete" at the same time during boot to force it to skip booting the hard disk.  I get a blinking smily face/question mark for a while, then it shows the boot menu, at which point the only available option is my hard disk drive. 
    In system preferences in OS X I have looked to change the boot drive, but the only option, again, is the hard disk.
    Can I not boot from the Optical Drive?
    Why?

    Hello,
    From the link I provided it says:
    Nearly all open-source software is available to download from the Ubuntu repositories, but the amount of proprietary software available for PowerPC linux is limited. You will have the same version of Firefox, LibreOffice, etc as other architectures.  
    Notable absentees are: Chrome/Chromium, Adobe Flash (although open-source alternatives are available, see below), Wine (however Qemu can be used, see below), ndiswrapper, proprietary video drivers and Dropbox (but, you can use Ubuntu One).
    I do recall it being very limited when it came do downloading Linux software that supported PPC.
    You wouldn't be any better off than using firefox or safari on Mac OS X 10.4.11.
    If your looking for a faster and more compatible web browser then I would suggest the following, which I've recently found very useful on Mac OS X 10.4
