Anyone having massive headaches w/ the new updater

I just downloaded the new updater and new version of iTunes. Myy computer will recognize my iPod (click wheel 40Gb) but it says its name is "Senior Recover" and has no songs on it. It also says it is a 30Gb vs. w/ 20Gb free. I actually only have about 2Gb free. The updater will not update it. iTunes states that there is an update available for my iPod so I know that the new update is not on it. My iPod plays perfect and all songs are on it. When I called apple they said that it was my iPod and I needed to restore. I did not like the idea of restoring since that would mean reloading my music onto iTunes. I don't have enough hard drive space to save my collection all at once so I have a stack of 50 CD's w/ all my music on a playlists by alphabet. Restoring would be a headache. I did not believe the apple tech and decided to try plugging my iPod into my wife's laptop (XP) that had the previous vs. of iTunes. Low and behold, it recognized my iPod perfectly w/ all of the songs and everything. Does anyone have any idea how to get my laptop to recognize it correctly again? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. At this point, I have given up on the new updater and never plan to put it on my iPod. I would really just like iTunes to work correctly w/ my iPod.

Check this to see if it helps: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Is anyone having volume issues with the new Iphone 4S?

    Is anyone having volume issues with the new Iphone 4S?

    Yes, the volume on my iPhone 4s will max out without me touching any button or setting.  When opening mail, for instance, the ringer icon will appear and the volume level goes to max volume - and I'm not touching the volume buttons.  It seems to happen randomly, at least I can't identify a pattern, but thankfully it doesn't happen all the time, but at least once a day.  
    Anyone else seen this?

  • Anyone having no problems w/ the new extreme?

    I am in the market for finally getting a new comp or comps. and want to get a wireless network. I was going to get the new extreme. But it seems like people are having problems w/ it.
    Is there anyone out there that hasn't had any issues with it?
    I wouldn't be running cross platforms or extensive networks. Just 2 wireless computers (A macbook pro and a macbook), and 1 computer (old g4) hardwired to the base. All they would be doing is using the base station for the internet and a canon printer.
    I hope the new extreme can handle that.
    positive feedback please because I see all the negatives post already.

    I know what the problem is but not how to solve it.
    Basically when a computer goes to sleep the connection with the extreme is broken, it appears that when the extreme has nothing to communnicate with it also goes to sleep and cannot be woken up again, The solution seems to be a restart of the extreme.
    I don't suffer from this, I have a number of macs on the network both wired and wireless that don't sleep so the extreme is never alone.
    I'm not sure whether this affects every user in these circumstances or whether it is isolated cases, although given the number of these extremes that must have been sold to people with laptops only, I think the number who are experiencing this is small.
    The significance of whether it is isolated or not is important, if it is only isolated cases then the issue is almost certainly user configuration. If it is that it is widespread then the only likely fix is a firmware upgrade.
    Although I suspect it is not widespread but can't be certain, even if it is, this sort of issue is down to software, which means it can be fixed with the firmware update I mentioned rather than a new extreme.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    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!

  • I am having an issue getting the new update to download and process.

    Ok so here is the deal I have tried to do the update at least 3 times this afternoon and each time it downloads and then says it is processing the file and I get a message that there was a problem and that my network connection has timed out and to try again later. Having at and waited for the download 3 times already I am not real eager to do it again without and answer. I just ant to update my darn phone already, I can't send pics in texts since the update and couldn't connect without wifi all last night which ***** cause I have no wifi at work. My network connection is fie and was working the entire time during download. I had this issue the last update as well but don't remember how I eventually go it to go through. Can anyone help me??

    I just did that and waited for the download. This time it said it was corrupted during download to disconnect and reconnect check all network connections are working and active or tey again later. So frustrating, have disconnected and reconnected and am trying to do the update again.

  • Anyone having this problem after the IOS5 update?

    I uploaded the new software into our 4 iphone 4's. Two of them have no problem and are working fine. The other 2 keep searching for signal. They will show 4-5 bars and all of a sudden say "searching" for about 7-8 seconds, then show the bars again. We have tried restaring the phones several times and nothing. Our carrier is AT&T. Anyone else having this problem?

  • HT4623 Anyone having major issues with the new 6 download?

    Was this new download tested before it was released?
    Will I need to buy the latest and greatest I-phone, so I can make calls in the future?
    Does anybody else find it funny that a new phone is out and now my 4s is slower and suddenly apps are freezing up?
    Who voted on the new charger? I assume cause the new phone is slimmer a totally new charger is required?
    Should I go online and read other people's opinions?

    Yes, No, No, Apple, YES!
    Do you not search the forums and the Internet before asking stupid questions?  Apparently you do not.

  • Anyone else having issues after downloading the new update?

    mine keeps saying this accessory may not be supported.

    I have the same. Inconsistent results with different cables, charges and external battaries and computer USB ports. Not sure how to find out what is going on. There are several threads related with same topic, but none of them know the reason (several suggestions which are good for nothing)

  • Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2?

    Anyone having trouble with the new update for 2010 mac book air 10.8.2 ? My 2010 Macbook Air has crashed 15times since the 10.8.2 update. Have only once since owning it.

    Turned out the hardware was bad.  Apple exchanged it for a new Mac Air and the new trackpad works great.  Thank goodness it was a defect.  If the trackpads all worked like that I would have been bummed.

  • TS2755 Is anyone else having issues trying to send out text messages since the new update?

    Been having issues sending out iMessages to other iPhone users. Seems to be very slow to send or does not send at all since the new update. I've been having to restart my phone or click the message and send as a text. Is anyone else experiencing this same issue?

    I had trouble texting today as the touch screen was not responsive until I rebooted. Had nothing to do with my carrier.
    I also have trouble with the SwiftKey app when the keyboard does not display.  I sometimes can get it back up by going in Setting-General-Keyboard-SwiftKey and turning it off then back on.  But just as many times it will only display again after a reboot. I don't know if this is iOS 8.1.1 or SwiftKey.

  • Has anyone notice that since the new update it's impossible to edit a text, then forward it to another party. I hate having to not able to do so. *****!

    Has anyone notice that since the new update it's impossible to edit a text from the sent message, then forward it to another person. *****!

    No, it's not. Tap an hold on the message you want to forward. Tap on "More" in the pop up box. Tap on the foward arrow in the lower right. Edit as neccessary.

  • Anyone having problems with the new updates?

    I have been trying to download the new updates but even when I follow the instructions given it still fails. Can anyone help?

    I also had this issue, went through the help page at Error U44M1I210 | Install updates then got directed to Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC – unfortunately my error log did not contain a summary section.
    I tried out Steve's suggestion and this fixed the issue and I can also use inDesign on the main account. Will I have to do this every time I get an InDesign update?

  • Does anyone know how to autocapitilize/autocorrect on the new update of Pages? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and it's slightly frustrating not having that option!

    I have looked in the preferences portion of Pages, but that option isn't even there anymore. I wonder if maybe it got moved elsewhere in the new update?

    Pages 5 now uses the system-level auto-correction in System Preferences > Keyboard > Text. Unfortunately, a lot of the options available in previous versions of Pages no longer exist.
    Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu. Also leave feedback for Mavericks.

  • HT1414 I have updated my iPhone 4 with the new update ios7 and now the buttons are on like a delayed reaction. Frustrating when texting. Can't be right. Has anyone else had this.
