ITunes 7.1 and iPod dock problems

Apparently there are cases of iTunes 7.1 doing some widespread and different things, not all entirely related. In many cases the problems can be fixed if you disconnect your iPod dock, if you have one. I had my Shuffle dock (and iPod) plugged in and iTunes just wouldn't start. I was working wirelessly tonight and just thought I would try again and it opened really fast. Then I found several threads here about this sort of thing. So if you are having problems with this upgrade as I have try unplugging your iPod first then launch iTunes.

You have to restore back (or uninstall/resinstall) to a prior version of iTunes. 7.0.2 works fine.

  • Itunes 7.5 and ipod shuffle problem

    I installed the Itunes 7.5 and then attached the new ipod shuffle. The itunes brought up the ipod shuffle but only showed the agreement screen. When I typed in that I accepted the software agreement it would not go to any other screen. I can import music to the shuffle but you cannot see it in itunes; you only see the agreement screen for the shuffle. By the way, I uninstalled and reinstalled the software twice.
    What is wrong with this software?

    To fix this, do the following:
    Close iTunes, click on start and go to control pannel.
    (Make sure it is set to Classic View) Double click on displays.
    Click on the settings tab and change your screen resolution size to 1024 by whatever and apply that.
    Close out of this, open iTunes and you should have the OK button.

  • ITunes has detected and Ipod in Recovery Mode...

    After in stalling ITunes 7 on my Windows XP machine, I received the following error when I tried to sync my IPod. "ITunes has detected and Ipod in Recovery Mode. You must restore this IPod before it can be used with ITunes." After completing the restore, it tells me to leave my IPod connected. Then it just comes back with the exact same message about recovery mode. Now I have an Ipod with no songs on it, and I am unable to sync it with ITunes any longer. Does anyone have any solutions to this bug. Everything was working perfectly prior to installing ITunes version 7.0.1.8.
    IPod   Windows XP  

    I had the exact same problem with my new 8 gb Nano. I tried putting the Nano into disk mode as was suggest in another discussion thread, but that did not make any difference. I finally discovered that my shutting the computer down and not logging onto the network after it rebooted, Itunes was able to recognize the Nano correctly, and proceeded with installing my music. If you are using a home or work network I would try not logging into it before you update your Ipod.
    Good Luck!

  • Itunes has detected and iPod in recoverty mode.

    Every time I connect my Nano (2nd gen 8gb), iTunes gives me the message
    "iTunes has detected and iPod in recovery mode. You must restore thsi Ipod before it can be used with iTunes."
    So I go through the restore process, and it resets and then, comes back into the same message. I am in an endless restore loop.
    I have tried different usb ports, computers, reinstalled the software, reset the ipod. But iTunes keeps wanting to restore the iPod.

    take a look

  • ITunes Not Responding and iPod notUpdating

    Everytime I connect my Ipod to the usb, it shows up on itunes and as a drive. But when usually the ipod should be updating, it brings up a window saying itunes isn't responding,giving me options to send the error report or not, and then no matter which i choose, itunes closes and ipod does not update. Even if I reopen itunes, the difficulty happens again.Please help. I have updated my ipod with the latest updater and reinstalled iTunes.
    THANKS

    This is most likely a software conflict (or series of them) in windows.
    First, make sure you have Service Pack 4. Second, make sure you are using the USB ports on the back of your machine, as often any ports on the front are low-powered and can cause interface problems. Third, make sure your iPod is NOT connected when you boot up your machine. Fourth, make sure the username you are working under on your computer has the necessary permissions to run programs, download, install updates, restore, etc.
    Then make sure that all of your hardware drivers are up to date; USB, sound card and firewall drivers are probably most important here. Also, make sure you have uninstalled any older versions of iTunes that may still be on your system, in your registry. You will also probably want to clean up any background programs that might be conflicting, such as AVG or other anti-virus/spyware monitoring programs.

  • Can I run two separate ITune Accounts & Libraries and ipods on one computer

    I have a friend visiting for a month and they want to use their IPod Nano and ITunes account on my computer. i.e. purchase and download their own songs via Itunes, sync with their Ipod etc. the same way they would on their own home computer, while they are here.
    I already have Itunes installed on my computer for my own IPod Shuffle, and related account for buying music etc. and want to continue to sync my Ipod through my own account of course
    Is there a way I can have both of these Ipods functioning fully with separate Itune accounts and libraries on my computer? How do I do this?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    OK.... I've ran into a problem and don't know how to proceed with this.
    The 2nd user is set up with their ITunes account and we have successfully purchased a few songs.
    What I expected to do was sync their Ipod and have the songs already on their IPod copy into the "new" Library we just set up. However, indications are that if I use "sync", it will erase the songs presently on the IPod and then only put back the few new songs we just purchased. (I tried a few other things but cannot get the songs from the IPOD into the ITunes Library or any other folder to preserve them)
    1. If it is even possible, how do I get the songs off the IPod into the newly established Library?
    2. If I indeed cannot sync the IPOD / Library - how do I get the newly purchased songs from the Library to the IPOD without erasing the songs already on the Ipod.
    Thanks, hope you can help!

  • Shuffle Update after installing iTunes 5.x and iPod 1.1.2

    I installed iTunes 5.0.1.4 and ran the iPod Updater 2005-09-23 and now my iTunes will not update the songs on my iPod Shuffle (it actually erased my songs). I have totally uninstalled iTunes and the Updater 2005-09-23 and re-installed them per another post on the forum. Prior to installing the new iTunes everything was working okay. I should also mention that the amber and green lights flash when I try to play anything - i.e. maybe the iTunes download was coincidental and not the problem. Any insight or help would be appreciated.

    I have tried the following:
    1) Uninstalled the iPod Updater.
    2) Uninstalled iTunes 5.0.x
    3) Rebooted
    4) Deleted the C:\Program Files\iPod folder
    5) Reinstalled iTunes 4.7.x from my IPS install CD
    6) Reinstalled the iPod software from the CD
    In the middle of the reinstall of the Windows iPod software it asks you to connect the IPS to see if it needs formated. It recognized my iPod and said that it did in fact need to be formated. I gave it the Ok and it came back telling me that it had trouble communicating with the IPS and to disconnect and reconnect. I did so, same story again.
    It seems that iTunes 5 and the latest updater hosed the IPS hardware or firmware somehow. Needless to say, I'm not happy.

  • ITunes 7.2 and iPod issues-- read before you upgrade to it...

    I am having issues uploading any of my music I purchased to my iPod since i upgraded to 7.2. Since I have upgraded to 7.2, I have had no success in getting ANY of my purchased music back on to my iPod. Back on it you say? That's because I first thought the syncing issue was due to a single bad corrupted file somewhere, so I restored my iPod, clearing 15GB of music and stuff, and tried to reload everything. I can still upload music I imported from CD's, but any playlist that contains a purchased item causes iTunes to crash before the upload finishes. I have found many other people to have this same problem.
    My advice, if you want to keep your purchased music intact, DO NOT UPGRADE TO 7.2 until they work out the bugs. Somehow this stems from their DRM issues, and with iTunes Plus and its DRM Free choices, it has somehow made our older DRM music a major issue. Unless someone has a miracle answer to this, I will keep wishing I still had 7.1, when life was easier and free of problems. When music could roam freely on my iPod, and my iMac would not crash every time iTunes showed it's younger face. Ohhh, the good old days. When music was music and my iPod had music on it. When buying music was buying, not renting. Remember those days?

  • Hide and show dock problems

    Hi all,
    Can anyone help with my dock problem.
    It wont show it's self anymore. I can turn off "Auotmatically hide and show dock" and it seems to function ok. But if i have that option selected it wont reveal, when i roll over the active area, it strobes/flashes the names of the applications but no dock.
    Had same problem after several resarts and a night shut down.
    yuk...
    I'm running 10.3.9 with all updates, on a single 1.8 G5.
    Thanks inadvance!

    Hi s!, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and delete that file. Then log out and back in or restart. You will have to reset some Dock icons.
    If that does not sort it, navigate to yourhome/library/preferences and trash these two files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
    Again, log out and back in again or restart.

    yes, it works, but it's not a perfect mechanical fit as the 5th gen is slimmer than the 3rd gen

  • ITunes 6.0.2 and iPod 5G problem

    Hi,
    My mac freezes at random moments when my iPod (5G 60Gb) is connected and iTunes (6.0.2) is running. At least, I THINK that's causing the freezes, since I have been able to work perfectly since I ejected the iPod 2 hours ago (it is still connected for power, though). I never had this kind of trouble before, so my guess is it's iTunes 6.0.2 OR the latest iPod software (or the combination).
    There is no mention about the freeze in the logs: No kernel panic, no logged software crash.
    Hardware test finds nothing, repaired permissions, no effect...
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Regards, Alex

    I had this same thing happen to me day before yesterday although I'm on a Windows PC. It didn't actually crash, it just froze. I shut it down (the hard way lol) and then restarted it and the same freeze occured so I decided to try waiting it out. Eventually, everything started to function again. Weird thing was that while it was frozen, I could scroll through the song list, move the volume or progress bar etc... but no music would play. When clicking on a new song with the visual equalizer showing in iTunes, the equalizer would start for one second and then freeze. Weird!
