All of a sudden won't read iPod.  Dont want to uninstall iTunes!

It won't read my iPod, used same computer and iPod as last time.  Help says to uninstall iTunes and reinstall.  Don't want to deal with music loss issues.  Why won't it identify my iPod?  Thx

What is the "it" you are talking about?  If you do not want music loss, why don't you have a back up?

  • My Macbook Pro suddenly won't read my hard drive.

    My Macbook Pro suddenly won't read my 750GB WD Elements Hard drive.
    It was working earlier today but when I went to press play on my TV show in VLC it said the files couldn't be read. So i reopended them all and they still didn't work. I closed down all programs running that could possibly be using my hard drive but it said it was being used so I force ejected it and when I plugged it back in it didn't work.
    It comes up with an error message "this disk can't be read by this computer" but it still shows up in disk utility. In disk utility though it says it is a 2.2TB hard drive which confuses me. also I the buttons for "verify disk" and "repair disk" are greyed out.
    Is there something that I can do to try and get my hard drive working again?

    If I'm not mistaken, this drive is bus-powered. MBPs seem to have frequent problems with bus-powered drives, probably because they don't provide enough power on the USB bus.

    It is possible that the drive or USB interface are damaged. However, it is too early to decide. You need to connect the drive to a desktop machine (Mac or PC), or provide more power to the drive (with a power supply, if the drive accepts it, or a USB Y-cable and a USB power supply, rated 1A or more).

    Same problem - happened after recent logic update.

  • LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are

    LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

    Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

  • My Macbook suddenly won't read my usb drive..

    My 2012 Macbook Pro Retina suddenly won't read my usb drive (its a Kingston 16gb DataTraveler se9 if it matters).
    I was just using it yesterday and it was just fine. Did the drive just fail? Or could it be something with the Macbook?
    It shows up on disk utility but verify and repair disk is greyed out. This is the first time I've had this problem in 15 months
    of use. My Lacie external drive still works just fine and I tried out another se9 and it worked fine too..

    Thanks, but my drive is accessible through disk utility, but when ever i attempt to verify it or repair it, disk utility just doesn't respond and i have to force quit.

  • HT3275 My Time Capsule has been backing up without any problems and all of a sudden it stops reading on my computer. The external hard drive beeps three times and the motter wont run within. What happened?

    Sorry we are unclear as to the external hard drive and its connection to the TC..
    For instance the light that blinks.. is that the TC or external hard disk or what.
    Did you try just rebooting / restart the whole network in correct order.. modem.. router / TC.. external drive.. clients with 2min gap between each.
    Are you actually running Snow Leopard as the profile states?
    How old is the TC?

  • My iPhone 5 is not syncing with my iTunes 11.3, on OSx. I have just completed all of the most recent updates and have looked into completely uninstalling iTunes but I fond my computer won't let me! Any ideas?

    My iPhone 5 is not syncing with my iTunes 11.3, on OSx. I have just completed all of the most recent updates and have looked into completely uninstalling iTunes but I found my computer won't let me! Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How do i unlock my ipod touch if it reads ipod id disabled connect to itunes

    How do i unlock my ipod touch if it reads ipod id disabled connect to itunes?

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes.  If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or if you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • S now and the other day it all of a sudden won't let me call or send and receive messages, what could it be.

    Hi I've had my iphone 5 about 8 months now and all of a sudden the other day it won't let me call or txt and won't let me receive them either, what can I do

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.  If none of these steps solves your problem, you probably have a hardware issue and will need to bring the phone to Apple.

  • All of a sudden, my 4th gen iPod Touch no longer works with my Apple TV, has Apple "upgraded" something to kill off this older unit? (IOS 6.1.2)

    All of a sudden, my iPod Touch (4th gen, IOS 6.1.6) no longer works with Airplay on my Apple TV.  It was working and still works as a 'remote' but not with Airplay which seems to indicate I've been abandoned by the message that pops up on the screen saying in essence "too bad you don't have IOS 7.1".

  • Computer won't read iPod, reset/restore does not work

    My 20GB iPod is having the problem where when you turn it on it displays the file folder and exclamation point and someone I know from school told me it's a corrupt file and I need to clean off my iPod and put all my songs back on to correct it.
    No form of the reset does anything and neither does anything from Apple's troubleshooting pages thus far.
    When the iPod is not plugged in, it randomly switches between a blank screen, the apple, and the folder/exclamation point.
    When the iPod is plugged in, it randomly switches between a blank screen, the apple, the folder/exclamation point, and the do not disconnect screen.
    It doesn't matter what buttons you push, it simply does one of the two things above.
    All forms of resetting I've read from the troubleshooting pages have not allowed my computer to read my iPod as far as I can see.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Okay. I have successfully restored and updated my iPod click wheel to 3.1.
    However, when I begin to upload songs, the iPod freezes. The first time it was from an automatic update at about 270/400, and the second time was from a manual update at about 6/375.
    Why is it locking up when files are being uploaded? The "do not disconnect" message stops flashing on the iPod screen and in iTunes it will say "Song 6/375" and never stop.

  • ITunes all of a sudden won't sync non-purchased songs

    Title says it all, other day updated to 7.0.3.  Sync wouldn't update the 3 new cd's I had added and furthermore, those artists that the cd's belonged to wouldn't play.  Meaning any previous song by those artists on my phone also wouldn't play.
    7.0.4 fixed nothing infact it just straight up removed all my non-purchased songs off my phone.  iTunes claims there's 1,000 songs on my iPhone but only the 200ish I've purchased show up.  If I go to "on this phone" it shows nearly every song with a grey circle next to it.
    This is ridiculous.

    Forgot to add also, all the purchased songs on my phone have the cloud/download button so technically they aren't even there either.  Would have to go through and download all of those as well.
    iTunes keeps just randomly changing how much space is available.  It goes from what it should be (2.5ish GB) down to 8 GB free, all of a sudden will jump to only 500 MB free.  Dunno if that is screwing with the Sync, phone things it has no room to add the songs.

  • HT1459 i forgot my passcode and i tried it to many times and now it reads ipod is disable connect to itunes

    i forgct my passcode and ive tried it to many times and now it reads ipod is disable connect to itunes

    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 - entering wrong codes results in progressively longer lockout times until device must be restored completely.
    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
