Classic says its only connected when supposedly syncing, any help?

Alright, so I have seen many posts with similar problems as me but i have yet to find a solution. When I try to sync my music from my computer to the ipod, it seems to work but with much trouble (many times throughout the sync my ipod will have the "connected" screen when itunes is clearly still syncing music). Sometimes the sync will work correctly, however most the time it won't. When it doesn't work everything seems to be ok until I disconnect my ipod and find that it has 0 songs on it...very frustrating indeed. I then try to reconnect the ipod and re-sync it just to have itunes tell me that it cannot read my ipod because it is corrupted. I restore it like it tells me to only to have the same thing happen over and over again.
I have tried numerous solutions including: restoring my ipod several times, uninstalling itunes and reinstalling the latest version (7.7.1.11 if anyone's curious), changing the drive letter that my ipod is under (now S), updating my usb port, trying a different port and fun stuff like that.
Can anyone help me? I have seen many posts with similar problems and it seems that apple isn't going to do a darn thing, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sean

You may know the following, but let's try and cover all bases:

If it says "connected" it can still be (and probably is) Syncing. Are you disconnecting the iPod before you see the message at the top of the iTunes window saying "Sync is complete" ? Also, when you do disconnect, are you using the eject button in iTunes? You should! Once you eject (it's the button at the bottom right of the iTunes Summary screen) wait for both the iPod screen to display the Main Menu and iTunes to close the Summary Screen window and switch to your library because sometimes it will perform a quick Sync after you click eject. I don't know why, or what exactly it's doing, but I let it do it.
0 songs on it...
If you are correctly doing the above, have you selected the correct options on the Summary tab to put your music on the iPod? (That would explain why there is no music on it.)
... changing the drive letter that my ipod is under (now S),
You should not need to look at the drive letter, it should not be visible unless you have chosen "put iPod in disk mode", which is used to transfer data, not your playable music.

HT1551 Trying to connect to tv for first time. TV does not recognize device, saying nothing is connected, when it is. Help!

I am trying to connect Apple TV for the first time. I went to my HDMI settings on my t.v., and tried to update so it would recognize the Apple TV. Everything is plugged in correctly, but the t.v. is saying that no HDMI devices were found. Help?

not sure about how different tv handle it but i go into the input source settings on my tv
and choose which input source is the active one
if i did that for the hdmi port my appletv was connected to and it said no signal then I would suspect that the tv could not handle the resolution the appletv display in and I would test with another tv if the same problem was present there then I woudl suspect that the appletv was defect

Please can someone help, I am just trying to set up iCloud on my iPad. When I click on accept terms and conditions it says unable to connect to server?

Itunes deletes songs in my playlist when I sync, any help please

When I sync my music to my iphone 4s the playlist comes up with 1 song out of 7 in it, and when I make it on my phone the minute I sync it to my mac it leaves just that 1 song. Any help?

How did you clean up the duplicates? A playlist is an ordered list of references to tracks in iTunes. If you had duplicates in the library you may have added one version of a track to one playlist and the duplicate to a different list. When you remove the duplicate only the first list contains a reference to the song.
I have a script which would have eliminated duplicates while preserving playlist membership, and merging ratings, play & skip counts etc. More here: Re: When I delete duplicates how do I know which version is the original song and which is the duplicate? If restoring the playlists is important you may be able to restore a previous version of your main iTunes library,itl file that still has the uncorrupted playlists using the techniques in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash and then run my script to dedupe. If you've updated iTunes regularly however, and don't have some other backup of the .itl, your most recent file is likely to be from last October.

My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

One of the memory cards was indeed faulty, and the other completely fine
Thanks very much for all your help!
Although there is one little thing that I've noticed. The iMac works properly, but I tried to software update to see if that may help my Minecraft sound issue (as I still don't think only having 2GB instead of 4GB would cause such a problem) but the software update application won't work. Running the "Software Update" from the apple menu on the toolbar gains no response, nothing happens. If I run the software update from system preferences, the application icon appears for a second, then disappears (as in the blank app. icon, the blank canvas with the pencil, pen and ruler in the bottom right corner). It does this every time I try to run it. It did work when the computer was crashing, but this started when on one of the occasions I ran the app. while it was crashing. Since this occured during the crashes, and still occurs now, I'm wondering did something simlar happen minecraft, as it's sound disappeared during the crashes and is still gone now.
However, the computer is now working again without crashes, which is the main thing, thanks for helping me fix the issue
Edit: I would mark the topic as solved, but I'm unsure if this would lock the topic or something simlar, so I'd rather leave it open for any ideas regarding the software update and Minecraft issues I'm having

IMessage in my iPhone 4 stopped working over 3G and now its only working when i connect my iPhone to Wifi!!! please help

as mentioned in the subject. i was enjoying sending msgs using iMessage using 3G internet connection but since yesterday my iMessage stopped working and now its only working when i connect my iPhone to Wifi !!!
without WiFi it show my Message Not Delivered in Red !!
and this issue not only with me.. even with my freind. so please help to find a solution

I know why. It happened to me before. Try typing random stuff, eg aaasjddjfndirinfekdnkedindor , into the text box, then delete everything using the x-arrow on the keyboard. It should work now. If not, repeat the process again and again. It's because it needs to send the signal to the other recipient(without him really knowing it, this is to check that he can see when you are typing, you know, the "…" bubble), then check that you have 3G at good speed, then enables iMessage. It works for me this way...hope it does for you too (:

What version of iOS?
Is the router running the latest version of available firmware?
Are any other devices having issues connecting to the router?
Does the iPhone have the same issue with other Wi-Fi hot spots?

My camera doesn't work, it says its not connected.

Hi, i got a macbook air, and its been a while since my camera doesnt work,
its says its not connected.

What kind of external camera is this? I am assuming it is a USB camera? Make sure that you aren't using any USB hubs. Also try connecting it to another USB port. Have you installed the drivers from the camera manufacturer yet?
Thanks,
Sean

Since this is an app-related issue, you may get better results solving your problem by contacting the app developer, or searching their help/FAQ pages.

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.
