Brand new IPOD 30GB reboot over one song!?

Just got a brand new IPOD 30GB I grabbed an album on my itune library copied it in the IPOD so far so good...played the first track the ipod "slide" on the screen the track with the album cover but before it fully done DARK for a few sec then a white apple logo...reboot back to menu.
This Apple lossless file that creates problem is paying fine in itune from the library and from the ipod...does anyone had a problem like this?
P.S I tried to restore the ipod same problem with the same file

To all posters here with the issue. Please check the iPod and report back if any of you have version 1.2 of the iPod firmware. If so, turn OFF the equalizer on the iPod and then try playing those tracks again and see if it still reboots.

My brand new iPod classic is dropping old songs when I sync new ones. How do I fix this?

I have a brand new, less then a month old iPod classic. This is my second one as there first one I bought was defective and couldn't be recognized by my computer. This new one isn't without it's glitches. I had 465 songs on it and went to sync some songs, and videos I'd bought from itunes, I synced and unplugged my ipod. Itunes shows 488 items in my library and ipod shows 178. What's going on and how do I fix this?

What you are hearing is the sound of the iPod's internal hard drive spinning up to read data from disk for playback. So basically, what you are hearing is completely normal for the iPod Classic. If you still feel that it is unusually loud, find another person with an iPod Classic and compare them. If your iPod is louder, it could be signs of a faulty/damage drive, but don't be sure quick to jump to conclusions.

Missing disc for brand new ipod 30gb

I just bought a brand new 30gb. I'm leaving tomorrow for Mexico so I don't have time to go back to the store and SHRIEK that the cute little package that is teh correct size for a CD is carefully sealed adn absolutely empty. I have teh newest itunes from the website but I am assuming there is specific software on that disc that is for my ipod 30gb to talk with my Win XP. I went to Apple's site thinking this should be downloadable. Peoples install discs must get damaged. Does anyone know where I can get this as a download quickly??? Thanks

The current version of iTunes and the iPod updater is all you need to use the iPod with your computer; recent iPods do not come with an installation CD. The iPod updater is available within iTunes 7 and is a standalone download for earlier versions of iTunes.

HT1212 my daughter has a brand new ipod touch - never used - she entered a passcode then immediately forgot it and now she has tried to enter one too many times and ipod is locked for 1 hour - she has never synced with itunes HELP

my daughter has a brand new ipod touch - latest one - she started to input a passcode then didn't finish the process then turned off ipod. she turned it back on and it is asking for a passcode - she doesn't remember what she typed. Ipod is now disabled for one hour. Can we override the disable. How do we reset passcode when we don't klnow the original. It has never been synced to Itunes. I am completely lost.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.

Brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud

I have a brand new Ipod touch G4 with sound only in one earbud. I have tried different types of headphones, but get the same result. If I jiggle the connector pin, I can get sound on both earbuds, but only on one side when the connector pin is push all the way in.
I have an older Ipod g4 without this problem
any suggestions?

Try on your ipod going to Settings-General-Accessibility. Scroll down into Hearing and see that Mono Audio is off. Maybe that's the problem.

Brand new iPod touch, only synced once. Now showing the pairing record missing notification. Not recognised by iTunes OR computer. Have tried literally everything including reinstalling iTunes, rebooting, etc. Please help.

As I've said, brand new iPod touch. I only synced it Friday night, put some music on it. This morning tried to connect to iTunes and got a message saying the pairing record was missing? Computer isn't recognising it either, but it charges off the computer just fine. Have tried everything including changing USB port, rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes twice, literally everything I've found on forums. Anyone help me out here? I'm so annoyed I could nearly cry.

Anyone able to help with this?

Brand new ipod? songs already on ipod then loaded in library?

Just bought my Ipod 3 hours ago when I plugged it in, it was charging and then synchorinzing when stop they was a bunch of songs I never download never used. Just downloaded the program today never had anything in the library. Where did these songs come from. Did I get a used Ipod

As I said in your other post, it certainly could be. Maybe it's a customer return. Where did you purchase it? Was it a sealed box?
If it were me, I would certainly be contacting the seller to ask why this seemingly brand new iPod had songs already loaded on it.

ITunes said its synced but no songs in brand new iPod Touch - help!

Just got a brand new iPod Touch and when i try to sync up to iTunes account, it says synic is completed but no music has come
over onto device.

Brand new iPod Touch 4g won't sync music from iTunes?

Every time I plug my iPod into my laptop to add more music I get an error saying iTunes cannot read the contents and I need to restore it. Last week I got a new white iPod Touch 8gb 4g. I had the same problem with my last iPod and when I bought the new one I was hoping I wouldn't anymore but I do. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, restarting my computer, hard rebooting my iPod, turning my iPod off and on, deleting old backups, etc. But still it won't sync correctly. Sometimes it will start the sync, but rush through all the steps without actually syncing anything. So I try to sync again and again to see if it will add anything but it just rushes through all the steps without doing anything. And eventually I get the message saying it cannot be read and needs to be restored. I'm using windows, and my iPod as well as iTunes are both up to date. And I have plenty of space left on my iPod. I've even checked for viruses/threats but there are none on my computer. Even to add one new song I have to restore first. Even though it's a brand new iPod. Any ideas why it won't sync or why iTunes cannot read the contents??? I've been having this problem for awhile. A couple months. With my old iPod and my new one.

My understnding is that this may be a Windows related problem or sometimes USB problem. I have the same issue and I know how to correct it, BUT ( and this is a BIG BUT) ... it will happen again and each time it does you will have to fully restore your I-Pod. Here is my post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18645554#18645554 discussing a potential one time fix, but the problem happens the next time you plug in the I-Pod Touch 4G.

ITunes thinks my new iPod is my old one

Brand new iPod vid. Xmas present. Very happy.
Installed software, plugged into iMac, songs update onto the iPod flawlessly UNTIL a message informs me some songs have not been updated, because my iPod software is out of date... please visit apple.com/ipod etc etc.
What the ****? How is it out of date. It's brand new. What's more: the newly installed iPod updater can't see any ipod, even though its mounted on the desktop. AND: in iTunes, under the iPod options, there are no options for videos or photos, and lo-and-behold, there are no photos or videos on my ipod.
Up until yesterday I used my 3rd Gen 20gb ipod. Does my iMac think I still am using that old one? Is that why it wont stick my photos/vids onto my new one? And how can I update my iPod software if the updater wont see it?
Rebooted, repaired permissions, reset ipod, shutdown itunes and restarted it, nothing works. Do i need to delete some file that is perhaps telling itunes that the ipod is a 3rd gen? Somebody help i want to watch videos on it!!!
I have run software update. Nothing to update from software update. I've just plugged it into a PC, it works flawlessly, iTunes displays all the correct options for videos and pictures and also iPod Updater works too, I restored the iPod and then returned to my iMac hoping for a change.... Nada. Still no video/photo options in iTunes, updater shouts at me to plug in an iPod. What the **** is going on. I even tried dragging my iTunes to the Trash and reinstalling. No change.
I'm pretty sure I'm not missing any iPod updater. I've installed it from the iPod cd, run software update, and manually downloaded the latest version (11-17 right?). And it still won't see my ipod. And itunes still thinks my ipod is out of date (cos im pretty sure it thinks its my old ipod!!!).
Believe it or not I'm right to some extent. Check this out. When you plug an iPod in and go to the iPod options in iTunes, in the top right hand corner of the window it informs you in pale grey text what version of software is on your current iPod. Mine says 6.0.
6.0!!!!!!!!!!!
Version 6.0 of a 5th gen VIDEO iPod. I think not you scumbag computer.
My 3rd gen was I believe on software version 2.3, so i have no idea why it says 6.0, but i know that my 5th gen definitely shouldnt be on 6.0. But perhaps itunes does in fact believe that this is my old ipod and is therefore refusing to put videos and pictures on it. How the **** do i convince it otherwise?
This is fairly crap from Apple i must say. I cant be the only person in the world to plug in a 5th gen after using a 3rd gen so why all the hassle? Its ridiculous and my ENTIRE christmas is ruined......
Seriously tho, somebody help me

I have had the same problem. I followed the directions I see here to delete ipod.plist file in preferences and then reconnect ipod. I did this and I still can't get the video preference to show up. Is there something else I need to do? When I try to do the ipod update it still says that my ipod has an old os on it which is the os that is on my 3rd generation ipod. I really am very frustrated. I did everything that you did and feel like you do. I just still can't get it to show video preference. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm losing my mind!!! Thanks!

Brand New iPod lags

I bought a brand new iPod video 30 gig on Friday, and uploaded all my music freshly. Therefore, the music isn't fragmented or anything, it's all been freshly put on there.
However, whenever I try to use the shuffle songs feature on the main screen (i.e. the full iPod shuffle) my iPod lags. I can feel and hear the hard drive work, and I'm not sure why it's doing this. This also happens when I'm just playing an album, and it's bothering me.
Is there any way I can fix this, or is this normal and I'm over-scrutinizing it? Thanks.
5 Gen 30 gig Windows XP

I'm pretty sure it's not normal, but there is a 2 week warranty on it, so you can return it and they will get you a fresh one. My Nano just shut down on me, and I returned it and got one that is brand new and is working fine.

Itunes won't sync to my brand new ipod classic. It says "The Ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.

I have been onto Apple by phone, and into the Apple store where both of them recomended that it gets replaced. I did, got a brand new ipod classic, and i still have the same problem.
I have attempted to restore, but it won't let me for the same reason.
On a couple of occations it starts to sync!! however it goes through practicly the whole syncing process (12,000 songs, heaps of videos) and then just freezes up! The little rainbow orb spins forever until i have to force quit.
I have had my old ipod and my partners ipod regestered and used on the one itunes with no complications whatsoever, our old ipods sync perfectly with no problems at all.
very frustrated.
Is it my Ipod Box?
Or is it Itunes?
or does it not like me having more than two ipods registered?
with the last new ipod which was replaced and the current new ipod that's a total of 4 ipods regestered on the one itunes
My partner has a Dell Laptop with Microsoft. I downloaded Itunes on there, ripped one cd, formatted the current new ipod, and it synced the one cd i ripped with no trouble at all.
Has anyone else had the same problem with their Ipod Classic?
Mick

Is iTunes up to date (10.7)? Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB or using a different USB cable?
I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread to check your Hard Drive's health. He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Full automatic Itunes synchronization impossible for a brand new Ipod touch 5th generation

Hey all,
I bought a brand new Ipod Touch 5th generation which won't synchronize my whole music library through Itunes (very latest version of the app).
The ipod runs IOS8 and the mac mini runs Yosemite latest version.
I already had issue synchronizing music the very 1st day I had the Ipod touch. As a result, went back to the Apple store for changing it for another device, thinking the Ipod was faulty, which Apple accepted and changed my device for a brand new one.
Since then, still unable to synchronize the full music library through itunes. I performed several full resets both on the mac mini and of the Ipod touch with no success. The synchronization seems to run fully normally with no warning pop up saying it failed or whatsoever and the sync process is very very long. But once done, my Ipod remains empty with no data at all.
The weird thing is that Photos are fully synchronized with no issue at all.
I contacted the Apple assistance who argued that my music library might be faulty and have corrupted files in it. So I cleaned it up, suppressing some files I had in double etc.
BUT still, no success, I had to go through the entire library to sync manually, but even then, I was able to have on the device, only half of the library, i.e. around 25 go. once the ipod display 25 to 30 gb remaining, it won't sync no more files.
Although I cleaned up the entire library and reset both devices hundreds of times, I have no clue why even manually, I'm completely unable to have my whole library automatically sync.
I spent hours on the phone with Apple assistance to get some help with no success so far. I even re-installed Itunes completely, still without any result at all.
I was only able to upload on the Ipod only half of the music library, and there are still 25 to 30 GB space remaining on the ipod and 20GB of music to be uploaded.
The automatic sync process always fails any time I try to run it, except for the photos, books etc.
I must say I also have an 160 GB Ipod classic with which I never had any problem so far, and which fully sync my whole library with no issue at all.
I read on the internet that some other users of IOS8 are accountering the same issue with itunes.
COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP, I'M DESPERATE, given the price of the Ipod I really do regret I bought something that does not work properly. Quite disappointed

Yes the system just keep sync as everything is normal, but then no song is actually uploaded to the ipod.
And the remaining space bar shows the ipod's empty.
the automated process will just keep sync as if normal and the last step saying 'applying the modifications" just keep going on and never ends.
I was only able to upload manually half of the albums, all songs comes from different sources; ripped from CD for great part, but also downloaded from the internet from trusted websites.
All songs play normally through Itunes on the Mac Mini.
But then when trying to sync the whole library automatically, nothing happens and I only get tags of the different albums, as if there, but actually it won't play none and the Ipod player just keep skipping as if no musical data is there.

Brand new iPod Touch is not being recognized by my computer

Hello,
I just bought a brand new iPod Touch. I had iTunes installed since this is a replacement to a very old iPod. When I plugged my new iPod Touch to start the very first sync, iTunes crashed and started giving me a Windows 7 error (999). After many frustrated attempts to reinstall iTunes (and a few blue screens in between), I followed a recommendation in one of the postings to delete all the Apple programs in a certain order. It worked and I was able to reinstall iTunes. The problem now? My USB, which at one point kept asking for the software to install the iPod, won´t recognized it anymore. Period. I´ve rebooted several times and whenever I plug my iPod in any of the four USB ports, absoluletely nothing happens, as if nothing had ever been plugged in. I tested the USB with my blackberry and it recognized it. Please help!! Thanks!

Ok, I just figured out so I´ll post it here in case someone has the same issue. I turned off my iPod while connected to the computer. Afterwards, the "other" connection showed up again in the device manager but this time it stayed there without disappearing and with the exclamation point on. I then proceed with one of the instructions in this posting to install the driver for the apple mobile which then showed up in the USB section of the hardware (it was never there until now). Bingo! I got my iPod Touch to connect for the first time! But seriously, why should it be so hard???? I'm concerned with the number of postings here. It looks as if Apple is selling the hottest toys but not be the best ones in terms of quality...
