Auto sync wont work on Vista

When I connect my iPod and auto sync it, iTunes freezes and I have to manually disconnect iPod from under My Computer. How do I fix this?

Hi tater salad,
Sorry for the delay.
Be aware that iTunes is still not fully compatible with Windows Vista, and might still have problems with it. (we can do some troubleshooting, though).
Let's try a full reinstall of iTunes and QuickTime.
Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document):
Description of the Window Installer CleanUp Utility
After you've done that, restart your computer.
Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
Now, restart your computer once more.
After the computer has fully loaded up, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer.
Try automatically syncing it with iTunes again, and see if it works or not.

  • Enable Auto Sync not working in Version 5.3

    I need to flag only the active image in Survey mode. When I flag an image all selected images are flagged regardless of whether Enable auto sync is enabled or disabled (Library) Metadata>Enable Auto sync.
    Strangely the opposite happens in the develop module. Only the active image is adjusted regardless of whether Enable auto sync is enabled or disabled (Develop) Settings>Enable Auto sync.
    I am running windows 7 Home premium. Exactly the same thing happens on my Laptop which is Windows 7 Professional.
    It is astonishing that there are no other references to this problem in LR5 but I can't see why it should be my installation...

    The same problem on my ipad2 in ios 5.0.1
    1. with smart cover
       - set autobrightness on and bright level  half ,  no password
       - close smart cover and open cover
       - ipad2 screen is very dark and does not change until power off & on
    2. No smart cover
      - does not change bright in any places(dark room, sunlight, living room etc)
    But no battery problem on my ipad2

  • MP3 player wont work on vista

    Hey everyone,
    Please someone help me...
    I have a Vista 32bit OS and I have a ZEN Micro 6GB Mp3 PLayer!!
    I cannot for the life of me get them to work with each other!
    I have tried everything... the disc that came with the mp3 player does not work on vista.
    I have tried downloading all the drivers on this website such as..
    CMS5_PCAPP_LB_5_0_38
    CMS5_BRNR_PCAPP_LB_0_3
    CMS5_MTP_PCAPP_LB_5_00_36
    ZCST_ PCAPP_LB_2_0_0
    and neither of them will recognise that my media player is connected to the computer even though vista recognises the media player and tries to automatically install download dri'ves for it's
    What should I do

    Hi Eddy,
    Thanks for such a quick reply.. I have an XP laptop that is unable to connect through to the internet and does not have the CD/DVD player working. Am I able to download the firmware through vista transfer it to my laptop via USB and then upgrade the MP3 player that way? Or do I need to have other installations for the Micro player available on the laptop already. Or can I just upgrade the firmware on its own?
    Sorry about the questions but I'm just asking without wasting anymore time on my micro

    Try Resetting your iPod. Toggle the hold switch off and on a few times then hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear then the menu button to go to the normal display: How to reset an iPod

  • Ipod wont work with vista?

    when i first got my ipod nano i had windows xp then i got a new computer with vista now every time i plug it in it says usb device not recognized so i click on the bubble and it says No drivers are installed for this device. so i go to change settings then i hit up date driver then i click search automatically for updated driver software then it says windows have determinded the dirver software for your device is up to date so i go and plug my ipod in again and is says the same thing!!!!!! my ipod will not show up in itunes or my windows can anyone help me out here this has been going on since march and my ipod hasn't had any new music on it since i got vista!
    p.s i have restarted the pc and tried to plug my ipod back in
    i have download the latest itunes
    i have tried everything nothing will work!!

    I figured out the Vista problem I believe that most people are having and believe me I was getting crazy over this until I figured out that Itunes 7.6 only works with the Ipod touch in Vista 64 Bit versions. Sooooo I downloaded version 7.4 and it came up with an error that the itl file was created by a newer version of itunes...so i did a search under dos because i hate vista's file search program..but i wont go into that...for those not familiar with command prompt ...select command prompt ... type cd.. until you get to the c:\ directory then type dir *.itl /a/s/p it will show you where the itl file is located and you can delete it... then install itunes version 7.4 from one of the various sites offering older versions of itunes.. and voila ipod magic... stupid isnt it...kinda crazy i can get my ipod touch to work in Linux and not in Microsoft Vista...

  • MPEG-2 playback audio syncing issue (works in Vista but not in OS X)

    My setup:
    - Mac Mini CoreDuo 1.83GHz, 1 GB RAM
    - Elgato EyeTV 410 DVB-T
    - Sony KDL-46W2000 FullHD LCD-TV (1920x1080p)
    I have a rather complicated problem with audio-video synchronization at MPEG-2 playback. I've spent a lot of hours on troubleshooting in the last weeks without coming up with a solution.
    I've installed Vista using Bootcamp on my Mac Mini, and in Vista everything works fine, so it's definitely a problem in OS X and not a hardware issue.
    I have a Mac Mini CoreDuo 1.83GHz 1GB RAM. I have done a reinstall of OS X and updated it in Software Update until Software update says my "computer is up to date". So it's completely fresh without any third party software.
    As display I'm using my brand new Sony KDL-46W2000 FullHD LCD-TV connected via a DVI-HDMI cable. I don't have to do any custom settings for this display. OS X outputs 1920x1080 progressive without me having to do any additional settings.
    The issue is that when I watch DVDs the picture is delayed on the screen about 200 millisec compared to the audio. This isn't the case on all DVDs, but on several DVDs that I've tested. I don't know the differences between the DVDs. It's the same problem if I use VLC to playback so it's not just Apple DVD Player. And it doesn't matter if I use the S/PDIF output to let my receiver decode the audio or if I use the internal speaker in my Mac Mini.
    Now to the most interesting part...
    In addition to DVD playback problem, I experience the exact same problem with Elgato's EyeTV. But ONLY when using their deinterlace method "Progressive scan". If I use "Always" or "Motion-adaptive" the audio and video syncs just fine.
    If I playback other media-files (in Quicktime or VLC) like mov, H264/x264 or XviD everything works just fine and as expected.
    As far as I can see the problem only seems to affect MPEG-2 playback. And judging on the troubleshooting with EyeTV deinterlacing and/or progressive scan seems to be involved in some way.
    I also tested EyeTV on a PowerBook G4 connected to my TV, and it shows the exakt same problem.

    I don't know what causing the problem, but if you play the files with VLC you can adjust the audio synchronization in its "Audio" preferences if you check the "Advanced" box at the bottom-left.

  • Upgraded Outlook now PC Sync wont work.

    I have recently upgraded my Microsoft Outlook from 2003 to 2007.  Now PC Sync will only sync contacts.  It wont sync calendar, notes or tasks. 
    It doesn't show an error message it appears to run fine but only syncs contacts.
    My Versions are as follows.
    OS - Win XP SP3
    PC Suite - 7.1.31.0
    PC Connectivity - 10.33.1.0
    Outlook - 2007 SP 2
    Connection via USB Cable
    Phone Nokia E52 - SW 034.001
    I have trawled the forums but had no success. I have tried the following:
    -Installed latest version of OVI v2.2 That didnt work at all, wouldn't sync anything, clicked the Sync button but no response, same story with the drop down menus.  Didn't like the software at all, it is also missing some of the features of PC Suite so I uninstalled it.
    -Reset the Sync settings on PC sync and set it up from scratch.
    -Deleted the /Private/10208913 folder from the phone
    -Downloaded the Microsoft - kb952142 upgrade for Outlook and ran it.

    I like to queue on this one. Problem persists longer. Seems to have something to do with the way PCSuite is installed on my computers (Acer).
    I tried it with two different computers, two different os (w7 premium and w7 ultimate) and two different Nokias: a N82 and an E72.
    I only can synchronise by hand. When i try to change the automated sync the settings like sync every 15 min are disappeared. While changing the settings I am always asked to fill in the location of Notes, again and again.
    Anyone any idea

  • Sync wont work on the ipod?

    im trying to sync my ipod and it wont sync ALL of my podcasts. why?

    The explanation I immediately have is that you bought the HD version of your TV show.
    HD videos are not able to be synced to iPod classics, which is unfortunate.
    The bright side is that that means you can spend less money on your videos since standard definition (SD) videos cost almost half as much as HD.
    You should still be able to play these videos on your computer, just not your iPod.
    If you want a refund, you may want to try to contact Apple and they might give you iTunes store credits. You can read other posts on that and others' experience.
    But the rundown is to go into iTunes, look at your Account. You can do this by going to the iTunes store and signing in, then clicking on your email address in the corner. Once you are viewing your account, scroll to your purchase history and click see all. Once you find the order, click on "Report a Problem". You should be able to email someone at Apple. In my experience with this, they are very understanding and will get you a refund or new iTunes store credits.
    I hope this helped.

  • HT1351 Manual sync wont work, it wont transfer the music it only lists the songs wich are grayed out

    Hi, Not sure why I can only post this in older ipods when its my iphone 5 but here goes:
    I double checked the article for manually managing songs and I'm doing it the same way, but the songs wont complete the transfer, they are just grayed out.  I tried it with the iphone 5 over wifi and then directly connected to the computer with the usb cable and still no luck.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Ive always manually managed it because I hate that I can only sync on one computer and every time I would have to delete what was on the iPhone, which is stupid IMO.
    You can blame the record label companies for that.
    I'm running a little low on ideas.  Perhaps you could still try and post over in the iPhone forums.

  • Photoshop CS4 wont work unless Vista Visual effects are turned off.

    Hey guys, having a problem with PS CS4 here.
    Okay normally when I load photoshop after anywhere from a couple minutes to half an hour it starts to kind crash, all the graphics go crazy, and noise is everywhere, and its imprinting on other windows including my desktop and task bar, every time it ends with me having to restart my computer.
    However I have figured out how to fix it, if I turn off the visual effects in vista, it doesn't do it anymore, however its annoying without the visual effects, so I'm trying to work out how to fix it, again.
    And yes it sounds like a graphic driver problem to me, but I've made sure it was updated and also went through all the common bug fixes in PS CS4, could my computer not be graphically powerful enough to run it?
    Thanks for all the help!

    One thing I found useful with CS4 at one point in the past was to dial back the OpenGL advanced options to "Basic".
    The real problem, if not hardware failure, is likely graphics drivers.  Most folks think latest is greatest, but the graphics driver writers to this day are still struggling to get the incredibly complex OpenGL implementations to work properly.
    If your graphics card is not quite current (e.g., a few years old or less) the driver writers do less and less work to keep the software up for it - makes sense, their company is no longer making any money by selling cards that have gone obsolete; they're working more on the software for the latest new model.

    hello jaskirat, since this forum is primarily manned by volunteers and yours is a rather specialised question, i think you'd have a greater chance of a reply that could solve the issue when you post your question directly to the services-dev mailing list, which is linked at the bottom of https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync.html
    thank you!

  • Sync wont work?

    Adobe cloud sync said "Unable to sync file(s)".  When I click on the help it takes me to Adobe's website, where it just says "The Creative Cloud Connection preview is currently offline as Adobe upgrades the service".  It appears that this has been the case for a while now?  When will this be fixed or when can i use creative cloud to sync and the work on my adobe files from another computer?

  • Auto rotate wont work on hp stream 8

     i just bought my hp stream 8 tablet. Everything was fine until the screen didnt rotate to the side. ive try to see if i can change the setting but honestly i dont know how to fix it and where is the auto rotation setting locate?

    JHEickhoff,
    Guess you need to take 2 steps back to get your Stream8 going again. If I was in your situation I'd try doing a "Refresh your PC without affecting your files".
    Settings > Change PC Settings > UpdateRecovery > Recovery.
    I did this once when I was playing with power settings and why I was seeing battery drain. Took about 15-30 minutes, I plugged in my Stream8 to the charger make sure it stayed up/running while this was going on. When this was done I also needed to redownload all the Msft updates.
