Crashing issues, and ipod sync question

Hi, first off, I'm running Aperture 2.1.4 on a new MBP snow leopard 10.6.1
My first question should be easy. Whenever I plug in my ipod, Aperture opens and wants to import the photos I've put on it into a folder. How do I stop Aperture from opening every time I plug it in?
My next question is about crashing. Ever since I upgraded to snow leopard, it seems like whenever I use the retouching brush 4-10 times, aperture freezes and then force quits itself. I've sent the auto-response message that pops up to Apple every time, but I'm not expecting much to come of that. Is there anything to do to stop this from happening? Has it been documented before or am I the only one with this problem?
One final bonus question. I'm importing RAW files (from a Nikon D300) but at first the previews are very, very different. I believe this is because my camera is set to the "vivid" setting, but when I first turn on quick preview before all the images are imported, the images I look at appear very contrasty and saturated, even though I would guess the vivid settings applied in my camera are for jpgs only, and don't affect raw images at all. How and why is aperture pulling this information from the camera when it doesn't relate to the photo? I don't care if this question is answered or not, it's not a huge deal. I was just curious.
Thanks in advance!

If you sync your iPod automatically, then yes, the next time you sync to that empty library, your iPod will come up empty. It's not a good idea to use the iPod as a storage device. Eventually, you'll probably have to Restore it, and a Restore will wipe the contents. You'll need the library on your computer to resync the songs.
Why not invest in an external hard drive. They're not too expensive. Also...what file type are your songs. Some types eat up a lot more memory than others.

IPod Sync Question

So I have an album downloaded from the iTunes store on my iPod. A couple days ago I saw the actual cd in a store so I bought it. Now I want to replace the iTunes store downloaded songs with the songs imported from the actual CD. I think the easiest way to do it is this:
1. Delete songs off iTunes.
2. Import CD.
3. Plug in iPod and let sync.
I'd think that would do it. However, I think there is some issue where iTunes will just assume that the songs are the same since the tags are identical, etc and therefor will not replace the song with the new cd version and instead see that nothing has changed. Therefor, I'm thinking what I really have to do is this:
1. Plug in iPod and let sync.
2. Delete songs off iTunes.
3. Sync iPod so the songs are deleted off iPod.
4. Import CD
5. Sync iPod to copy new cd versions on iPod.
So will the first method described be enough or do I need to take the extra steps in method 2 in order for it to work?
I've run in to this issue before when I ripped a song off a cd, found that it had skips, cleaned cd, reripped it, and sync'd. Then I found that the song on my iPod still had skips, even though the song in my iTunes did not. But the sync function would not replace the skipped file with the new one (i think) because they are identical. In the situation presented in this thread however, one file is downloaded from iTunes store and one is from the cd so they aren't identical.
BTW, I have 120GB iPod Classic and using Windows with current verion of iTunes.

I would take route 2. A few extra steps will guarantee that the new tracks will sync over.

Outlook Exchange and Contact Sync, QUESTION!

We've just added iPad 2's to our sales force. Prior we were just PC and Blackberry. Now the team is using their own smartphones (some still have their Blackberry), an iPad and no longer have their company PC's.
In the past, if we entered contact information into outlook or the Blackberry, they of course automatically sync. When activating company email on the iPad, all existing contacts synced to the iPad.
However, now upon entering a contact into the iPad, it no longer will Sync to the Blackberry..... BUT when you enter a contact into the Blackberry, it does transfer to the iPad.
Whats happening here? LOL

As others have said in your other posts, no one here knows or can say what Apple is working on.
If you haven't seen this KB article:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting iPod contact and calendar syncing
perhaps it will help.

IPhone 3.1.2 Internet connection issues and iPod application crashes

Was having problems connecting to internet with 3.1 that could be fixed by switching to airoplane mode and back, but with 3.1.2 internet service drops out (even though the screen shows all bars and 3G) and the only way to get it back is to switch the phone off and on. DOing this 20 times a day. Annoying.
Also, with iPod running, hitting the album icon in teh top right to get to the track listing for eht album causes the iPod application to crash.
Does anyone else experience this?

I also had problems with 3.1.1 which resulted in intermittently not getting access to the internet, not waking from sleep, etc. Now since 3.1.2 update iphone works better but at least once a day I am getting no connectivity to internet even though GPRS/Edge/3G is showing and the signal is strong
The only way to resolve it is to reset network settings, also losing my wifi settings.
Apple should have a blog to update on these kinds of software issues as it is hard to tell whether it is due to the hardware or not. I almost sent the phone back for repair last time only to find the 3.1.2 fix was aimed at exactly the problems I was experiencing. Although, as stated, still not completely fixed.
Also my battery life is worse by about 20%

ITunes upgrade and iPod syncing issues

I opened itunes and it said there was an upgrade for it. I installed it and when I plug in my ipod, it syncs, then when I try to sync it again, it does not. on the initial opening of itunes I noticed that windows has the ipod drive listed as "G". upon syncing it disappears. I unplugged the ipod and then plugged it back in. windows again recognizes the ipod and the ipod automatically syncs when connected so it can find it in itunes. as soon as its done syncing, again it disappears from windows. there has to be a fix for this. as far as I can tell its in the itunes software that is causing this because I have not changed any drivers. any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't want to do manual update, theres nothing else we can really recommend. You might want to invest in a cheap External drive and put all your music on it. You can get one for 100 or less if you shop around

IPhoto deleting issues and iTunes syncing issues with IOS 5 on my iPhone.

While upgrading to IOS 5 my iphone (3gs) would not allow me to restore to back up so I had to restore to original settings, ugh, losing everything on my iphone. Thought this wouldn't be a problem but iTunes won't let me pick and choose what music I want to add anymore even though I have "pick checked music only" checked. It refers now only to full albums, etc, instead of whatever songs I want from each album. I had to create specific playlists with all the music I wanted on my iphone. And it only added one playlist. I have loads of space on my iPhone so don't know what the issue is. Does anyone know why I cannot add more than one playlist?
Also, I discovered I can't delete iPhoto pics on my iphone. I can trash whatever I add to my Camera Roll but nothing else. I had to designate a specific folder for pictures from iphoto to be added to iphone and those I cannot delete. Anyone know what to do here as well?
Thanks!
Found answer to iPhoto question here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/7636294#7636294
...but still need help with music. thanks

It's inside the iPhoto Library package. Open it from the Finder as show in this screenshot:
Then drag the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Trash, close the package, launch iPhoto and try again.

IPhoto 5, iTunes, and iPod sync

My iPhoto Library (iPhoto 5.0.4) is located on another partion of my PB's internal harddisk than MacOS X. No problem working with iPhoto, but iTunes won't recognize the iPhoto Library, and so I cannot have it sync the photo with my iPod. Any ideas?
PS: My question is essentially the same as in thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=935191&#935191

I have also got iphoto 504 with more basic problem. How did you manage to read iTunes purchased songs on Iphoto ? I just can't and get no reply from music store assistance. My powerbook is authorized to read iTunes songs.
Thank you for your help

Calendar and Contact Sync question

I have been playing around with my droid 2 global for about a month now and just decided to see if I could get the contacts in my phone synced to my gmail. I have a lot of phone numbers in my phone but are not in my gmail account. The question is can I send my contacts in my phone to my gmail account? My assumption, just from what I have noticed, is that the droid 2 only has the ability to pull from the account not push to it. Is that a wrong assumption?
On to the calendar question. I have multiple calendars setup on my gmail account (mlb, nfl, college football, etc). For some reason the only calendar that syncs up is the US Holidays calendar. Is it possible to get the other calendars to sync with the droid calendar? If this is possible could someone please walk me through the process.
I have poked around on couple forums trying to solve these issue but have not seen anything addressing my questions, unless I have overlooked it.
Thanks,

You are able to export your contacts and import them to your Gmail account. Below is a very good post that will provide you the steps to export the contacts using Backup Assistant and then import them to your Gmail account.
http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-Incredible-by-HTC/export-contacts-to-gmail/m-p/285574/highlight/true#M12187
Please note, you must have Backup Assistant on your device to be able to export the contacts.
In regards to the calendar, you can view other calendars by following the steps listed below:
1. Select the Calendar icon
2. Select Menu
3. Select More
4. Select Calendars
5. Select the calendars that you want to display

Vista x64 and iPod Syncing Error (Error -81)

I have Vista x54 and the latest iTunes (7.1.1.5) and just got a brand-new 30GB Video 5.5 a few days ago. I started my sync on my library, but right in the middle I get this error - "Cannot Copy To Disk "IPOD" (-81)" I already restored my iPod several times and even completely removed all traces of iTunes, QT, etc and reinstalled, but to no avail... I've been using iTunes other functionalities for some time now on my Vista x64 just fine... What should I do? Is this a hardware problem - cause this iPod is spankin' new!!

Hmmm. You aren't getting the classic symptoms of the issue, but it might be worth checking for a Windows drive letter confusion on the PC, as per the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

IPod syncing questions

Hello All,
I would like to do the following:
Open iTunes and download podcasts A,B,C,D.
Attach my iPod and copy podcasts A,B,C,D.
Detach iPod.
Delete podcasts A,B,C,D from iTunes on my computer.
Download podcasts E,F,G,H on iTunes.
Attach iPod and copy podcasts E,F,G,H without having to lose podcasts A,B,C,D.
Is this possible? If yes how?
I simply did not know how to even search for the question in the forums since I simply don't understand the concept of "syncing". Why not just use the word copy like all normal human beings?
Thank you very much.
Feb

1. Yes.
2. Yes, if they can be used on the iPod.
3. No, except for iTunes Store content, which can be transferred to a computer authorized to play it by using the Transfer Purchases option.
4. iTunes will create a playlist for the iPod and sync its contents.
5. A confirmation message about changing the computer the iPod is synced to will appear.

ICal crashes iTunes on iPod sync

I bleed Apple juice. I trust Apple and own nothing but Apples. Still, I've come to the conclusion that iCal is just the worst program Apple has ever created and really shouldn't be offered until it's been fixed. I've written repeatedly about how slow it's become and no one has an answer. My new problem is iTunes gets hung up while "syncing contacts and calendars." I have to believe it's this awful calendar program that's getting hung up, not the solid contacts program. If I try to exit, it just completely locks up. I have to force quit iTunes, then as soon as I hook up my iPod again, I'm in the same position.
To make matters worse, I've made the mistake of trusting Apple and iCal. Last December I moved all the tracking of my hours and projects for my small buisness into iCal and it just keeps getting worse and worse!
Does anyone know if there's any relief in Leopard? I've got the OS but I'm waiting to load it until I finish my current Final Cut projects. Knowing iCal's problems were solved would make it worth the wait.
Alternately, does anyone know of a good calendar program that might accept be capable of importing iCal files so I don't loose this whole year's info?

A Variety of iTunes 7 and ipod 5g questions...

I've recently purchase a new 5g 80gb iPod. (replacing my 60gb photo). I installed iTunes 7 with a fresh installation of windows xp. Copied all my music back on to my new iPod without to much trouble. but....
Registering:
It asks me to register my iPod every time i plug it in. When i log into my apple id, it brings up my addy info. I live in Canada and changed it to the correct country, but it won't recognize my postal code. No matter how i put it (with a space, without a space, capital letter, lowercase). The error i get is at the top is "The postal code you entered is not valid for [?]" It's not a huge thing, just annoying. So i registered my iPod through the apple website, and it still asks me to register. I've clicked "Never Register" and it still asks me... Annoying.
Sound Check (in iTunes, not the headphone check one on the iPod):
If sound check is on, does it alter the audio files in your library in anyway or does it just adjust the volume within iTunes? If sound check is on, does it anyway affect how the audio plays on your iPod? (ie automatically adjusting the volume) If i installed iTunes 6 with sound check, formatted my computer (my documents and my music are on a separate harddrive) installed iTunes 7 with sound check off, will the audio files somehow still have sound check on? (this question is answered if sound check doesn't alter the audio files) I don't normalize my audio when it's ripped b/c most normalizing programs cause the quieter tracks to be unproportionate to the other tracks. (more obvious in live recording when the crowd noice jumps from track to track). Since i've started using my new iPod, i notice that some tracks seem to have been normalized somehow and causing those effects like the crowd noice jump.
Gapless:
With iTunes 7, the option to whether tracks are part of a gapless album is now available. Does this mean there's true gapless support for the iPod? This is feature number 1 on my iPod wishlist (and many others) and my iPod "why the f**k have they not done this yet?" I've tried playing around with a bunch of albums and tracks, and sometimes it feels like gapless and other times not at all. Goddamnit apple, WHY will you not release proper full support for gapless?!
Album Art:
If you set iTunes 7 to automatically download album art, does it embed the image in the music files like when you add them manually? I copied an album to my roomates computer which had iTunes apply the artwork, but on my roomates computer, it showed up in iTunes without the album art.
Volume 60gb 5G vs 80gb 5G:
My roommate bought the 60gb video last winter, and i've done a comparison with the same song and headphones, has anyone else notice or if this is true, but my roommates max volume is louder then my 80gb video. We though it might have been apples attempt to extend the battery life. Also that and the max vol limiter in the iPod settings might have something to do with the lawsuit. (this is all speculation on our part)
Thank you for the time and patiences. I'm your typical newb so if you have some links, faqs, whatever to point me in the right direction.

i'll have a go at this one:

Banshee and iPod sync

I've searched everywhere and it looks like I'm either the only person unable to sync my iPod (add music and playlists) with Banshee, or I'm the only person trying it.
Banshee sees my iPod - but I cannot add new files to it, and although it allows me to create playlists, the playlists don't show on my iPod.
I know there are other alternatives out there that have worked for me on Arch (gtkpod, yamipod) - but I really want to use banshee on Arch, and so far I can only get Banshee working with other distros (Ubuntu, Fedora). Can someone please help me??

also, how are you trying to transfer files onto the device? With me it will not allow me to access fat partitions saying I don't have the permissions so I need to either su or sudo.

More Mac OS 10.2 and iPod nano questions

I did a search and found that other people were able to get their iPod nanos to work using 10.2.8, so I decided to give it a try. How did you do this? When I plug it it in, the iPod just flashes "Do Not Connect" and when iTunes tries to open, I get this error message:
"The iPod "iPod" cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.0 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the lastest version of iTunes or install iTunes from the CD that came with your iPod."
What do I do next to make it run with the USB 1.1 ports on OS X 10.2? I have iTunes 6.0.4.
Please help! Thanks!
p.s. I'm starting to get really irritated with Apple. Leopard was supposed to be released late 2006/early 2007. I got this iPod back in Nov last year as part of a promotion. Since I thought Leopard's release was right around the corner, I held out and tried to be patient. Then it was changed to spring 2007. And I thought, well, I've waited this long; another month or two won't kill me. Now it's October 2007??? WTH, man. If I knew it was going to be a full YEAR before I could have used my iPod, I would have just bought Tiger back then. Torture, I tell you.

I didn't say all Nanos wouldn't work on the earlier system. What I was implying was YOUR Nano, which came out AFTER iTunes 7 was releases, has updated firmware that requires iTunes7.
I had the same issue with my two video iPods. My 30GB was purchased back in the iTunes 6 days and worked fine on my computer. A year+ later my wife upgraded me to an 80GB (so she could also take possession of the 30GB) which came out after iTunes7. So when I plugged that one in, it refused to work with iTunes 6 and required iTunes 7.
This is something Apple does with a lot of their hardware. For example, most Mac computers are ROM locked to only be able to run the Operating system they shipped with or higher. So you can not take my OS 10.3 eMac and try to load 10.2 onto it. It won't go. Same with the iPods. If the iPod came out when iTunes 6 was the release, they will work fine with iTunes 6 or iTunes 7, but if they came out after the release of iTunes 7, they tend to be locked to iTunes 7 or higher. This is why you often see the simultaneous release of a new version of iTunes when there is a major update or new release of an iPod model.

ICal, google CalDAV and iPod sync

I've got iCal syncing with google calendar and for the most part it is working. But for some reason the google calendar does not sync to my iPod Classic 160GB. It shows up in iTunes, and did show up once on the iPod for about a second before disappearing forever. Anybody got it working?

Simply put, it works
