Can anyone help me fix my iPod/iTunes problem?
I have an iPod Touch Gen 3 with iOS 5.1.1. I'm running Windows 8 (which is probably my first problem) and iTunes 11 or whatever the latest one is. For whatever reason, whenever I add a song from my laptop to my iPod, the song: A) either skips, only plays the first couple of seconds and then goes on to the next song, or doesn't play at all and goes on to the next song, and B) has heavily pixelated and distorted artwork. I originally thought that it was my old iPod screwing up, which is two years old and semi-broken, so I assumed it was just ready to die. I've deleted and reinstalled my iTunes, but that didn't help. I'm going to run a security scan soon to see if there's anything wrong with the iTunes files. If anyone has had this happen and knows how to fix, or if anyone has an idea to give me a direction to go, please help me out.
Troubleshooting songs that skip
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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 IPod, Nano will no longer shuffle the tunes, instead it simply plays one tune over and over, can anyone help me fix this problem?
It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

Hi..can anyone help? Songs on my itunes are not playing to the end? They cut off part way through a song. Its not on all the songs but lots of them? thanks
A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps. -

Having trouble with enhanced podcasts, Can anyone help me adjust my iPod?
Whenever I listen to my enhanced podcasts through iTunes, I have no problems viewing the photos the podcaster included in the program. However, when I play the same podcast in my iPod, the photos will not show. I only see the timeline with the little segments that represent the chapters. I can hit the forward and back arrows and I am taken the to the next chapter marker. But, unfortunately, I do not see the photos, as I do see them in iTunes.
Can anyone help me adjust my iPod to enable it to play enhanced podcasts correctly?
According to the iPod manuals, I should be able to see enhanced podcasts with no trouble.
Thanks.

I have solved it myself. Here's how I did it:
In iTunes, go to Edit and click to Show Art Work and leave it as "Hide Art Work." (Now it will download the enhanced messages.)
Now go to the iPod: From the Main Menu, go to Settings. At the Settings, go to the other Main Menu. From this Main Menu, go to Music and make sure that the following are on:
Playlists, Photos, and Photo Import, Videos, and Extras.
Good Luck.

Please can anyone help with the continuing password rejection problem with email on my imac.My Ipad and other systems work fine but despite reloading my password on imac it bounces back.Apple store has been visited and I have tried everything they suggest.
I use free Yahoo mail webMail access because folders I created in webmail access doesn't get set up in Apple Mail. While I was searching for post about password and keychain issues, I stumbled on several threads that complain about Mail folder issues, so I'm holding off on Apple Mail.
On the password and keychain issue that your post is all about. I've been using login keychain to save and automatical fill my login screens for a year or so successfully, with Safari and Chrome. Automatic form fill also works for Facebook login. Unfortunately, about 4 to 6 months ago, automatic password form fill stopped working with Yahoo webmail, while still worked for GMail (Safari and Chrome). I tried deleting the password entry for my two Yahoo email accounts to start fresh, but neither Safari not Chrome will even ask me if I want to save the password. I was so frustrated that I eventually installed the keypassX 0.43 (password manager) that is quite primitive sompare to OS X's keychain (when it works). Probably no surprise to you yet.
The surprise, to me at least, is that, for whatever reason, password auto form-fill from keychain started working again for Yahoo webmail login on Safari about 5-7 days ago. Still doesn't work on Chrome!
Two tips I can share, at least with webmail access:
1. Password is save only for one of my yahoo mail accounts. When I login in with my other yahoo account, I get no prompt to save the password, and form fill doesn't work when I try to log in a second time with my other Yahoo mail account.
2. On inspection of my login keychain, I see a webform password item saved for my Yahoo account that works with keychain. The name of the password is: login.yahoo.com(MyAccountName1#). When I open the password item and look in the Access Control tab, I see Safari and Chome are listed as allowed to access this password item..
I also an "Internet password" item with a name of just login.yahoo.com. When I open the the password item, it looks just like the password item created for MyAccountName#1, but the MyAccountName#2 is listed in the Account field. Inside the Access Control tab, no apps are listed in access permission. I added Safari and Chrome to the lists of allowed app, saved the password item.
Now when I bring up the Yahoo login page(by bookmark) on Safari, form fill fills in MyAccountname#1 for name and the proper password and I can login in. When I change the name to MyAccountName#2, the correct password is retrieved and I can log in! Alas, it still doesn't work on Chrome.
BTW, I changed the password item type from "Internet password" to "Web Form password" and saw no difference! I also edited the name to be "login.yahoo.com (MyAccountName#2)" to look like the web form password item that works, but it has no effect either.
From my experimentation, here's my observation:
1. A Web Form password item is created for the first account name(MyAccountName#1) for login.yahoo.com and typed as Web Form password. When I log in using MyAccountName#2, an Internet Password is created, but no applications are listed as allowed to access the password item, even when the password item was created after just logged in and logged out to yahoo with the account name and password for MyAccountName#2.
2. Manually adding Safari as an app that is allowed to use the password item works. Doesn't work with Chrome!
The version of Safari I'm using is Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). My installed version of Chrome is Version 21.0.1180.79 beta. -
I got an iPhone 4 on Thursday.
I connected it to my PC, a Windows Vista, that day and nothing showed up besides a "camera."
My computer picked it up as a camera, which I understand is a common occurence in the iPhone.
After browsing countless youtube videos and Apple Forum Questions, nothing helped.
I put it into recovery mode by holding on the power and menu button, but when I opened iTunes it still didn't detect anything.
I feel like I'm almost hurting my iPhone because I turned it off and on so many times, and plugged it in and out several times, and so forth.
Here is what happened after putting it into recovery mode: 1. A Windows "device locator" popped up. 2. It was looking for a solution to help me with the unknown device, or iPhone. 3. I clicked onto the find solution button, and it told me that I needed a disc.
--- I didn't have a disc, so I looked up this problem and it told me to manually find Apple mobile device support on my driver, so I did.---
4. I then went onto Control Panel and clicked on SYSTEM and MAINTENANCE and went to DEVICE MANAGER.
5. There I found my iPhone listed under USB controllers.
6. I uninstalled and installed it several times.
7. I then manually found a program to ease the problem. The program was "apple mobile device support," which was located on my apple driver.
8. Nothing happened, besides it reporting to me that Apple USB was found and that "code 39" or "code 1" was in the way.
9. I didn't know what to do with this....
By this time, I was about to give up on my iPhone and return it back to the store.
I tried again, but in a different way this time.
1. I put it back into recovery mode and I opened itunes.
2. itunes reported to me that some burning or CD/Drive software was missing and that I needed to reinstall it.
3. SO, I reinstalled it several times, about 12 (iTunes), and nothing changed.
4. I then looked up the problem of why the CD/Drive software problem kept popping up.
5. I fixed it by going to my registry and adding an UpperFilter with the code GEARaspi...something like that.
6. The problem was fixed, but still no iPhone onto my itunes.
I stayed up all night last night to fix this problem...I'm annoyed and tired.
I tried another problem to fix this.
1. I didn't put it into recovery mode.
2. My iPhone showed up under portable devices under "device manager," from SYS/MAIN"
3. I did update software.
4. I clicked on "apple mobile device support" but nothing happened.
5. It reported to me of the Code thing again.
I even called the Apple people and they didn't know what to do, so I stopped calling them...because they only had limited options to fix the problem.
Can anyone help me?There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it. -

Bypass the downloader/installer.

I have an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen, 8gig. Im trying to download the app for free texting, Everytime I hit download..It pops up on my screen and says "waiting" Then disapears. How do i fix that? It does it to every app I try to download. Also does anyone have the information about the VPN? I think I need that too. Its empty. Thank You
Is your iPod jailbroken? If so, that could be causing the problem. It shouldn't, but it could.
Also, you can download free applications for your iPod Touch from the iTunes Store on your computer, or from the App Store on your iPod Touch.
