Anyone having issues w/iTunes update 6.0.4?

I have 2 computers. I updated the iTunes software on my new laptop to the most recent version of iTunes on 4-23. Before the upgrade, I had no problem connecting my iPod on either computer. After that upgrade, iTunes on the laptop couldn't "see" my iPod. It just sits there with the "do not disconnect" icon flashing...I have done all of the "R's", tried to reset the iPod w/ updater 2006-03-23(but it couldn't perform that operation even in disc mode - something about not being able to mount the port...). I also can't "see" it in "My computer" in the laptop when it is connected and I get error messages telling me that there is a problem with the hardware I am trying to connect through the USB port (I tried all 6 available ports). As a last resort (thinking the iPod was crashed and headed for a repair), I connected it to my PC, which doesn't have the iTunes upgrade, and viola, it recognizes the iPod and does the update no problem. Is it possible there is a bug in the 6.0.4 software that is causing the problem??

Thanks for the response.
This didn't work either, but here is what I have done.
I took a chance and downloaded the iPod updater on my PC and was able to update the iPod. Good news. Then I uninstalled iTunes on the laptop again and downloaded version six again. Plugged in the iPod, but still no response from iTunes - even in disc mode.
Question: when I re-installed iTunes it brought the existing library back in - should it do that or should the library screen be blank? I was relieved to see the library because all 4000+ songs are volume leveled, but then I began to wonder if I had really completely uninstalled iTunes...any advice here?
Another oddity that may be associated with the problem: I have a Western Digital 130 gig mass storage unit that I swap between the laptop and the PC as a backup device. The laptop is indicating that the mass storge device is connected when it isn't. The safely remove HW window indicates that the mass storage device and the iPod are connected (but the mass storage device isn't)when I click the safely remove hardware icon. If I close the WD device listing in the remove HW window it shuts down the iPod as well, clears all devices from the window and gives me the message that it is safe to remove the HW. I am beginning to think that this is the root of the evil...any ideas on this point?
If the mass storage device is the culprit (or there is a conflict between the iTunes update and that device), does anyone know how to locate the Western Digital storage device software so I can delete it? It doesn't appear in the add/remove programs and I have never had to delete HW from my system before...
Thanks in advance for the help!

  • Is anyone having issues opening itunes in windows 7 professional?

    Brand new dell desktop with i7 chip 12 gig ram running windows 7.  Installed new copy of itunes and when i point it at the music folder under my music that I copied from my old machine it starts to load up and then closes.  I have run all scenarios suggested by apple website and nothing has worked.  Does anyone have any insights?

    Ummm I think everyone is having this problem, the solution I have found is that to open it in "safe mode"
    To open it in safe mode
    hold down shift and control at the same time.
    you will get a message saying that you want to open it in safe mode if u did it right, continue and it should work.
    if u stuffed it up, ctrl alt delete task manager and end the program...
    p.s porb have to do this till the nxt update...

  • Having issues with iTunes update 10.6.3 and new MacBook.

    I have a brand new MacBook (also my first Mac) and I am having problems when I connect both my iPhone & iPad.
    iTunes tells me I have to install the lastest version, 10.6.3.  When I try to download either it looks like it has but nothing has actually updated, it tells me I need to update my software, or some times it just doesn't respond.
    When I try to update my software the installer gets to a point and says inorder for the installation to finish I have to close iTunes, but it's not open.  So I'm totally confused and stuck.
    Help!
    M-

    If you've moved or renamed iTunes, put it back. If not, open iTunes from the Applications folder and not the Dock.

  • Anyone having issues syncing iPhone with Microsoft Outlook 2007?  iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts.  It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

    Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007?  iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts.  It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue.  I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
    The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
    And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
    Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone.  In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.

  • Having issues with iTunes 11.1.5 on Windows 8.1

    Ever since I've refreshed my windows computer two weeks ago. I am having issues with iTunes 11.1.5. For some reason I can access the iTunes Store, but most of the time when I do something internet related on iTunes, the app is either stuck on checking for downloads or when trying to sign in. I am trying to update all my apps but only a couple out of 30 actually start downloading but they keep getting stuck at "processing file". I have used another computer with Windows 8.1 with the same version of iTunes and its downloading app updates fine.

    it works at first then after trying to update a few apps (the third one this time) iTunes again stops working and gives me the 8008 error.
    Okay ... let's try seeing if that one is the root cause of the errors.
    Try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    Does that calm down the 8008s?

  • Is anyone having issues with imessages disappearing or not being delivered?

    Is anyone having issues with imessages disappearing or not being delivered?

    I too am experiencing this on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to 4.3.3. I am fairly convinced that it is a software issue. The last update seems jumpy. There appear to be more pauses and stuttering with screen changes too.  Sometime the button operates perfectely (even with repeated light touches). Other times, it doesn't matter how hard I press; it takes several presses. I notice it more when i am using a battery case or connected to an AT&T MicroCell. I am having a hard time pinpointing problematic apps, although i suspect that mail with my work Exchange account may be a culprit. I suggest posting your issues on Apple's iPhone feedback page, www.apple.com/feedback/iPhone.html, to ensure that they are looking into this problem. If it is a hardware issue, I'll be pretty upset as I received my iPhone 4 on day 1 of availability and it is out of warranty. Hoping for a fix with an update. Please post on the feedback page.

  • Is anyone having issues running Rosetta Stone under Lion OS?

    Is anyone having issues running Rosetta Stone under Lion OS?  My wife updated her iMac a month ago and now can't run Rosetta Stone. 

    I was lucky. My new iMac, bought about 3 to 4 weeks ago, came with SnowLeopard. I found that SL could run Power PC software. The first time that I tried to do that an on-screen message asked me whether I wanted to download Rosetta (Yes). Since then my old PPC software has run. Eg., Cinema 4D (which would have cost GBP over 1,000, Toast 7 (GBP80) and others.
    Of course, for those whose machines came with Lion installed, you could buy SL and install it (as I did) on an external bootable HD (partitioned according to GUI).
    Unfortunately, for those buying a future new computer (that is, say, next year), I think that SL will not run on it (according to Apple's policy of not allowing a machine to run on an outdated OS first offered before the date of manufacture of the later machine - I think I have got that right.)

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!
