Anyone know the solution to this iPod problem??

I have close to 4000 songs on my 4G iPod 40gb, and just recently my iPod went bonkers. I've updated the most recent updater, reset my iPod numerous times, but now every time I update the iPod it stops in no particular spot updating songs and iTunes freezes up. Sometimes 750 songs, 1200 songs, 500 songs, etc. but never finishes. I then have to pull the device losing all songs I did get updated.
Any fix to this???

I had a somewhat similar experience. I assumed the HD had failed but then came across the now famous 'give it a sharp tap' solution. Apparently those little drives sometimes set stuck. I took a couple of goes in my case.
If this works for you (after you have tried the 5 r's), I would strongly recommend reformating the HD with disk utility (OSX) or whatever 'doze uses (since it seems logical that a wonky HD would mess up the file system) and reflashing the firmware via a restore.

    It may seem simple, but restart both devices.
    on the iPhone hold the sleep and home button until the phone rests (soft reset), then restart the iTunes app. Then plug the phone back in then sync again.

  • I have two Macbooks at home that are connected to a Comcast Wi-Fi network modem. One of the computers has sporadic in receiving the WI-FI signal while the other is unaffected. Both have same operating system. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

    I have two Macbooks that are connected to the same Comcast Wi-Fi network modem. One of the computers has become very sporadic in receiving the WI-FI signal while the other is unaffected. Both have same operating system (10.5.8). I have restarted computer, and unplugged and retarted modem on several occassions to no avail--one still works the other inconsistent. Have spent a great deal of phone time with Comcast and they suggest acquiring latest OS. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

    This does not sound to be a router problem...You should try to uninstall and re-install the ethernet adapter/card installed in your computer...Do you have 2 Ethernet Adapter's by any chance...Check the Device Manager, Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>> Double click System, go to Hardware >>> Device manager, click on the plus'+' sign next to Network Adapters and see how many Ethernet Adapters are listed...
    Also connect that computer straight to your modem and see check if you get the same message,that 'YOU ARE CONNECTED TO MORE THAN ONE NETWORK'...

    Hi,
    What version of the OS did you upgrade from ?
    Anything before OS X 10.8.2 may have an issue if the Logic/Mother board has been replaced and the Serial Number not "flashed" back to it.
    In the Apple Icon menu use the About this Mac item.
    In the new panel click twice on the line that tells you the current OS level
    It will change to the Build number (and alternative count to the OS versions) and then the Serial Number.
    If it is missing you need to get it replaced.
    (It is supposed to be done on Repair or Refurbishment).
    An Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider as the best choices.
    There are apps you can download (They are Mac Model specific) but needs careful typing as it is a once only trip.

    When i look through the light reflection, my ipod is working, but with no back ground light!!! anyone know what wrong with my ipod and how to fix it?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My apps will not download to ipad2 this is something that has just recently happened.Have switched the pad on and off holding buttons down but it makes no difference.Has anyone got the solution to this problem Thank you.

    My apps will not download to iPad 2 This is something that has just recently happened. Have tried re-booting but that makes no difference .
    Has anyone got the answer to this problem please or do I need to take it into an Apple store Thanking you.

    If all of that stuff checks out - and iTunes is telling you that the apps have been downloaded to the iPad - try this.
    Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases from the pop up menu. Then sync with iTunes again. Don't eject the iPad yet. If you still don't see the apps on the iPad - click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right and see if they show up on any of the iPad screens. If they do - make sure that all of the apps are selected (checked) to sync - (checkmarks in the boxes next to the app names) - check to make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked and as well and then sync again. You may have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes if the apps were not selected to sync.

  • Anyone know the name of this desktop customization software?

    Hi guys,
    Some time ago now I saw an application somewhere that allows you to customize your desktop (or wallpaper, depending on what you call it) in more advanced ways than OS X normally allows.
    It allowed you to put images of your own on it; not in the normal way (I am well aware of how to do that with System Preferences) but more like you might be able to do on a cork board. So you could put several images up at once, rotate them, re-size them, have them overlapping etc. You could also add text to the screen, and I think draw shapes with the cursor. I'm also pretty sure the software allowed you to create more than one desktop at any one time.
    Thing is, I can't remember what this app is called, and even though I'm fairly good at searching the net, all the words I can think of to find this are way too general. I really need this app for something quite important. Does anyone know the name of it?
    Please only answer if you have a pretty good idea of what it is, not just to say "I don't know." Sorry, it's just I've had alot of that in the past. Any good answers I will be very grateful for and will be sure to be given points. Thanks!
