My computer froze during match initial formatting. Now some songs are uploaded others are "greyed out." If I go song by song, I can update match. How can I do this all at once and also update album art?

Hi gdogk,
If there was an interruption during the initial iTunes Match process and you are now having issues with playback and album art, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful. In particular, you may want to turning iTunes Match off, then back on again, as noted here:
If iTunes Match is already enabled on your computer or device, try turning iTunes Match off and then on again.
Mac: While holding down the option key, choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match.
Turn iTunes Match on by selecting Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
Windows: While holding down the shift key, choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match.
Turn iTunes Match on by selecting Store > Turn On iTunes Match.

HT1766 My computer froze during the restoration process. It didn't work and now it won't let me restore and the passcode still shows up. What do I do?

I forgot my iPod passcode. I've done the "back up ipod" and restore.
My computer froze in the last 13 seconds and shut off and turned back on.
I tried redoing the whole process, but it won't let me do it.
The passcode is still there and I don't know what to do.

If screen-lock passcode
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

IPod Touch froze during restoration

I recently was given a first generation iPod Touch. About 2 days ago I paid for the iOS 3.1 download and started the process. It seems that everything worked fine on the computer, but my iPod froze during the process on the iPod screen with the apple and loading bar. Today, I tried to hook it back to iTunes to finish the process, and all it would do is sync with the screen still frozen. I tried today to restore it, and it got stuck on the same screen as it's been frozen on with the loading bar a little further than before.
Do you know what's wrong with it? What should I do?
Thanks so much!

I don't think this is an individual hardware problem as so many people have reported the same incident and plenty others probably don't know about the site. I am having this problem with itunes 8.1. While my ipod touch is recognized by it perfectly my 60gb ipod video is not recognized by it. I have tried all the recommended solutions in the support section and nothing helps. Apple needs to fix this problem ASAP.

Mac OSX/no iPod... tried to Restore, FROZE DURING RESTORE!!!

Ok... so anyone who has logged onto the discussion area has seen the messages about OS X not recognizing an ipod that's plugged into it. That's fine. I tried the Reset, Re-Install, Restore method, but both my new Mac Mini and my iPod froze when the iPod was about 25% restored! LAME!
Now, when I try to re-restore my iPod, it keeps freezing at the same point in the restore. I can usually force-quit the iPod Updater before my whole computer freezes, but the iPod still hasn't been restored. It's part-way restored so that when I reset the iPod, the apple logo shows, then a blank screen, then the apple logo, then a blank screen... I can't turn it off either... the buttons don't respond in the Apple loop of doom on my ipod.
Is it possible to take my iPod to a genious bar to get it restored??
Thanks for any insight,
Beth

If you haven't already, you can try running the iPod in disk mode when trying to restore it ( On a 3G or earlier iPod, reset it then hold the 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons until the display reads "Disk Mode". On a click-wheel iPod, hold 'Select' and 'Play/Pause'. ) If the restore still does not work after that then I would recommend you take your iPod to an Apple Store and have the genius guys take a look at it. It might end up being something simple, but it could also be something like HD failure. If your iPod is still under warranty, then the iPod could be repaired for free if the issue is covered under the warranty. If not the Apple Store will let you know of any costs before they actually perform any repairs.
hope that helps

Froze during restore

On my way home from work today, I plugged my iPod mini into the car adaptor as usual and played my music. I turned to the radio for traffic, and when I switched it back, my iPod wasn't working. I've managed to go into disk mode, but it froze when charging. I tried restore, but it seems to have frozen midway through that. The apple logo is there (back light won't work) and the bar for restore is halfway through. The instructions said that it would show again in iTunes when it was done restoring. Instead, it's not doing anything. Should I try again? Turn my computer off and go to bed or what?

Hi ShanaB, could you tell me what version firmware came on the iphone? I'm having trouble also but don't want to lose the unlock. ty

My computer froze during import

I had 250+ images to import. I made the stupid mistake of trying to load safari during the import, and saw that it was lagging. I walked away from the computer for about 20 minutes and came back to see that both programs had frozen. I made stupid mistake number 2 by force quitting safari. I was able to get onto iPhoto, but it was stuck on the screen that said that it was finalizing import. I made stupid mistake number 3 by force quitting iPhoto (I had done it before and it never gave me any problems). I now have 8 images on my camera, and none on my iPhoto.
Is there any possible way to get my pictures back??
please help!

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Help!! My IPod Froze During Restore

I hope someone can help... I just got a used IPod mini yesterday. My kids have the IPod mini and an IPod shuffle so we've already got the software/ITunes installed on our computer.
I plugged my IPod mini into the USB port and let it charge. My computer picked it up and showed the previous owner's name and info. The mini was fully charged. I then attempted to restore it to wipe out the previous owner's data. The restore process started and then I got the AC adapter icon on the mini's screen. Needless to say.. we didn't have one. I ran out and got one and plugged my mini in. That's as far as I got. It's stuck.
I've reset it numerous times.
I tried putting it in disk mode.
I tried plugging it into a different USB port.
I checked the AC adapter on my daughter's to make sure it was working...
I can't get past the AC icon!
Can't get the computer to recognize it.
What do I do???

it's ok now i fixed it

Iphone froze during restore

Hey, just got my Iphone 4 replaced today at the apple store, the home button was acting odd. Anyway, I plugged it in to restore from my backup, started the restore, and half way through it stopped and gave me an error message saying to restore the phone before updating it, so I hit the restore button. It stopped that with an error message too, and my phone disappeared from itunes. I unplugged it and plugged it back in, waiting for a couple minutes. It didn't show up so I unplugged it again, right as I did it finally showed up, but I had already disconnected it. The screen turned all white at first, then faded to all black. Now I have a black screen that is lit up, so it's on, but it won't respond to anything. Tried shutting off, plugging in, restoring, dfu mode... won't show up in itunes or respond to anything. Do I have to bring it back to the store and get another new one? I've literally had it for like 4 hours. Better off letting it die so it shuts off or charging it? Really frustrated right now, need my phone at work.

Hi ShanaB, could you tell me what version firmware came on the iphone? I'm having trouble also but don't want to lose the unlock. ty

Computer froze during download from store, half album didn't download

This is the second time this happened. My computer shut itself down while downloading an album from the iTunes store, and when I turned it back on and checked for purchases, less than half the songs came up. Last time this happened I bought the two missing songs again, and this time I really don't want to buy 10 individual songs AGAIN. Is there anything I can do to get these songs that never finished downloading when my computer shut down?????

Computer froze while updating. iTunes has disappeared

I was updating my iTunes when my computer froze and now my iTunes has been deleted and I can no longer reinstall. I have tried to download iTunes in the most updated version, but I cannot actually proceed with the download. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I have tried rebooting my computer. I have also looked in the Control Panel to see if the program was there, and it's as if the program has completely vanished from my computer. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

i assume your computer froze during the update operation, leaving your installation in a unstable state. after restart you are not able to access anything. if that is the case, i think the best option is to use a arch installation disk/usb to boot and finish the update.
1. create a bootable meadia - cd/usb and boot using that
2. mount the partitions
3. arch-chroot to the mounted root partition
4. run pacman -Syu
if the above is not the case, please give more details.
thanks

Computer froze while updating - Can't use gnome/cinnamon

Hello
Today I tried to update but then my computer froze. After restarting archlinux I couldn't login into my gnome or cinnamon. I also have openbox installed where I have no access to a terminal.
If I try to use gnome/cinnamon it redirects me to the linux shell. I tried to reinstall gnome/cinnamon but it didn't have any effect.
Any ideas what I can try?
edit
I also have no access to my filemangers in openbox and gnome terminal doesn't work either.

My 4th gen ipod won't backup after it froze during a software update to 4.3.5. I had to cancel the backup at the start of the update and now it won't let me backup to my computer, freezes during backup or says my backup is corrupted.

I pressed 'X' during a backup after it froze during an update to software 4.3.5 and now it won't let me backup on my computer. Does anyone have any ideas? It either freezes during backup or says my 'backup is corrupted' or 'I cannot backup on my computer'. I have had to abort quite a few attempted backups since the initial problem, which I think has made it worse. I have already tried restoring my ipod, deleting the aborted backup from my preferences/devices in itunes and deleting it from my user/appdata/etc on my PC hard drive. Any ideas what to try next?

After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?

I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Error 1603
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
