All Kinds of Problems with 5th Gen 60GB

Okay so my problems started out by the ipod freezing after playing a few songs. It would show the screen for the next song but then never start playing and it would stay that way until the battery died. I couldn't reset it or turn it off or anything during that time. Then after the battery died and I recharged it, it would start up fine but then freeze again after maybe 10 songs. After a few cycles of doing this I charged it again and then all of my songs were gone from the ipod, and I plugged it into my computer and Windows and iTunes would not recognize it.

I also have this problem, I have had my ipod for just over 1 year (12 days out of warrenty). I have never had any problems, until I updated to itunes7 and the newest ipod software 1.2?? Ever since my ipod will start up for about 30 seconds then freezes, if its playing a song, the screen will freeze then it will let the song finnish then stop. I have reset it, and restored it, deleted the updates in itunes, used different usb cables and ports, etc and the thing just keeps on freezing really unimpressed as it was fine before updating.
PLEASE HELP US.......

Video problems with 5th Gen iPod

I've got a bit of a problem here. I've got a 60 gb 5th gen, and I've had no problems, thus far. I've got it loaded with tv shows, movies, music, podcasts, etc, and they have always worked fine. However, within the last few days, suddenly my video folders are empty. My movies and everything are still shown to be on the iPod under iTunes, but when disconnected from the computer and browsed, all the Video folders are shown as empty.
Has anyone experienced similar? Is there a way to fix this without losing all of those converted video files? Seven seasons of Star Trek Voyager took me like two weeks to convert!
PC Windows XP Pro

Same thing with me, i cleared my iPod and they went back on. But now it will only play my video podcasts. If it is any other type of movie file it will go to a black screen for about 10 sec then go back to the previous menu.

Strange problem with 5th Gen iPod

I have one of the late 2006 5th Gen iPods which I got for Christmas, it originally had a defect with it's dock connector port and data transfer didn't work, I had to get it replaced. Now this one seems to be having loads of problems like just freezing while playing songs and skipping. But the reason I'm typing this message is becuase now after charging my iPod using an adaptor, I go onto iTunes on windows XP, then when I plug it in, It doesn't appear anywhere, says no power remains and then switches off and doesn't turn on no matter what I try, reset, center button, play.... I'm starting to think that iPods are very poorly built pieces of electronics sold at a very high price. Someone please correct me.
Edit: when I plugged it in, it didn't do anything at first, just normal screen showing full battery. Then I plugged it out and back in and then I got the no power warning.

No they are not. All of mine have worked fine and so have all the Windows users I know. Is that enough correction?
As far as your problem with the iPod, let it run down for at least 24 hours before proceeding.
Before starting, read this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
Even if no new drivers are available for your computer, delete and reload your USB driver.
Next charge your iPod (use the wall charger) for at least 30 minutes then connect it to your computer. Use a rear port on your computer and disconnect all other USB devices except for your keyboard and mouse.
Now reformat your iPod (FAT32, don't use a quick format) and then Restore it in iTunes.
I am assuming your are using iTunes 7.1.1.5 and Quicktime 7.1.6

My lock button no longer works on my ipod touch and now i have all kinds of problems with it freezing and kicking me out of apps. Is there any way to get this fixed and were would i go to get it fixed?

Please Help!!!! I have an ipod touch 4th gen. and since the last update the lock button no longer works, this has caused it to have a lot of problems now like freezing all the time, kicking me out of almost all my apps, some times even when if locks on its own its not locked and buttons with be pushed in my pocket, and this causes the battiery to die fast. I really love my ipod and would like to just get it fix if possible for a reasonable about of money. Anyone know of a place I can get it fixed in Ft Lauderdale Fl area or is there something I can do?

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Just updated to Maverick on my IMac and have all kind of problems with Iphoto and Mailbox

I recently updated my IMac to Maverick and was not aware of all the problems that came with this update. In Iphoto a lot of pictures disappeared and other are turned upside down other were wrong format. In the mailbox I tried to sort by name of sender to find out that names of sender are not matching the mail. One name that I have had on e conversation with was related to 10 mails with NO connection to him. Have made all the updates to latest version Iphoto promelem remains.

Re iphoto, back up first then rebuild the library as follows.

If you still have problems post in iphoto forum
There is also a rebuild mailbox option in Mavericks Mail.

All Kinds of Problems with my MacBook Pro

I've got a MBP Core 2 Duo, running 10.4.8. Here's the problems
Okay, this all happened at once without me doing anything different than I do everyday. No changes, or maintenance programs run...just normal computing. Okay, so today I open iTunes and it says that the library is corrupt and forces me to reimport all of my music. Then, I open iPhoto and the same thing happened...library is gone. The files are still there, but I had to reimport them. Then, iWeb won't open at all...it just has one of those "Report to Apple" things that comes up. In Mail, all of my smart folders were still there, but my e-mails were all gone until it redownloaded them from the server. When I opened Skype I had to re-"Agree to terms" and retype in my username and password. Oh yeah, and all of my iCal calendars were gone.
So I got everything back up and running, reset my computer and the same thing happened again.
Does ANYBODY know what's going on? I'm about to move out of the country and don't want to deal with this stuff in an area with no Apple Support close by.

Try this for starters. You may have a disk issue.
Boot from your system CD, run Disk First Aid from your Disk Utility and repair your permissions.

All kinds of problems with scripts running and slowing things down. It always has to do with "chrome". I sick of it and am going back to IE if I can't get this resolved this weekend.

What do you want to know.....it's been going on for months and I can't seem to get it resolved. It's definitely a conflict with FF and why you can't resolve it, I have no idea. I've searched the net and these error messages are everywhere. Don't you think it's time you address this.
At this point I really don't care if I use FF any more. It's slowing everything down on my machine and if you don't have the experience to correct it, then back to IE I'll go.

All kinds of problems with Thinkpad T40 2373-7CU...please help!

A friend of mine recently had me purchase a refurbished computer through my work. The computer came with no operating system on it...but that wasn't an issue as we have a disk for Windows XP. We installed it, no issues (at least I don't think so). We cannot get the computer to recognize the modem...so we can't get it online to download the drivers. I've tried burning them to a CD and then putting them on the new computer...but it seems to not be working? It also won't play CD's or DVD's...although under normal circumstances, it should.
I know next to nothing about computers...can anyone give me some pointers on what I can do to get this thing on the internet at the very least? I have Comcast DSL internet...if that makes a difference...so I am NOT trying to get on wirelessly.
Thank you in advance for any advice!
Kristy

load all the drivers onto an usb memory key and install them from there. After you unpack the drivers, go into my computers, c: drive, swtools, drivers.

All kinds of problems with HD shows and movies...

Recently, when I rent a movie I get a message stating, "An error occured loading this content. Try again later." I found this also happens with I now try to watch movies I've purchased. It also happens with TV shows as well. It's frustrating because sometimes it works, but those are now fewer and more far between.
I've restarted, and restored, my Apple TV but to no avail. Apple TV works fine with my other services, and my connection speed checks out fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

All kinds of problems with syncing and backing up

Can anyone help?
My iPad gets only so far through the sync process before I get a window telling me my iPad has disconnected or that the disc cannot be found. The only way I can get it to sync is to reset it and sync from scratch, which means re-downloading all my apps.
Also, before anyone says it, I've tried just backing up the iPad but it won't do that either. I keep getting told the iPad disconnected before it's finished and ends up not copying anything
Hope someone out there has a suggestion
Cheers
Pete

Hi Ian
I checked the USB and it all looks alright. I tried syncing again and got told:
"An error occured while reading from this device"
which is the normal one i get.

I am having all kinds of problems with playlists since I downloaded 0s8

Since I downloaded 0S8 on my phone, ipap, iPod touch, and iPod and my powerbook, I can't get playlist from iTunes to transfer over. I also can't see songs I had currently put into a playlist unless I back totally out of iTunes. What's going on. I was djing a gig when the song I selected came out totally different from what was selected.

Im having all kinds of problems with my wallpaper scrolling continuously. i cant lock any wallpaper on my home or lock screen. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My wallpapers will not stop scrolling. It constantly scrolls and it's very annoying. Any suggestions?

Do they scroll automatically, like you don't have to touch the screen? Or is this a setting you have set where they will loop endlessly if you swipe one way or the other? Is this the LG Home launcher or a 3rd party launcher app?

Ipod 5th Gen 60Gb keeps resetting and... (please read)

Hi everyone.
My ipod 5th gen 60Gb keeps resetting itself when plugged to the wall charger.
Once it starts again it gives me the sad face and the "Very Low Battery" screen.
Tried to reset it and i gets to the screen that tells me to connect to itunes for restore.
When i do that itunes won't see my ipod.
How can i fix it? How do i get to finally restore my ipod? Is that an hardware problem? I did replace the battery and it finally has power for hours but i still have this tooth to pull out.
Can anybody help me please with some suggestions/solutions?
Your help would be really appreciated! Thank you!

I forgot to say: When i plug it it it gives me the apple for 5 - 6 seconds, the the SAD FACE with the link to the apple support page, then the "Very Low Battery" screen, then it restarts again and it does the same thing over and over again.
I can put it in disk mode, yes it will charge but if i attempt to plug in to the USB2 port (rear) of my computer with itunes open, it doesn't get recognized.
The hardware management of windows sees the ipod once i put it in disk mode. Then after 30 secs more or less it restarts and windows tells me the ipod device has problems.
Help PLEASE!!

HT201593 The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why?

The newest version of iTunes deletes all of my iPod Touch 5th gen audible and visual media when I delete or add music or video to my library and add it to my device manually. Why? I guess the question speaks for itself. I have the latest version of iTunes and iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch.

If it's any consolation i've just had a similar thing happen. Went to add a playlist and it wiped 35 gig of music off my iPod touch 64g in a nanosecond. I've got the latest iTunes and osx but do not back up because i keep different styles of music (and loads of it) in separate libraries and devices which i don't want mixed together. All my stuff is burned from cd so it's not lost for good and i've got a hard drive with the "lost" mp3 music on it but even so it will take literally weeks to prune the tracks for my iPod to be the same again. Why do they make it so difficult to manage your music on these things. I have massive amounts of music on my computer so autofill is a disastrous unusable gimmick to me. The whole thing seems to be aimed at 9 year old kids with about 6 mp3's on their phone rather than serious music lovers (for example accessing EQ is a joke let alone the lack of a manual option). I'm a dj and use apple for that reason but to be honest i'm beginning to wonder why. I'm absolutely livid. The weird thing is that my mac still shows the titles of the missing tunes in the 'on my device' window but as my macbook storage display shows no increase i'm pretty sure it's all gone. Nightmare. I have no confidence in this device anymore and could barely use the previous osx 8.2 anyway. Why they have to change it every ten minutes is beyond me. As the old saying goes 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but this format just gets more broken every time they update. An absolute disgrace. Why not just drag and drop or delete. No wonder the iPod is said to be a dying device, it's for music, it is not a phone. Not fit for purpose anymore. I can't be bothered to read a massive 'how to use' article every update. Good technology should be easier and more intuitive with each new version. I suppose i'll have to phone apple at my expense to find out what's going on, or maybe that's the whole idea. Very very very not happy.
