DEP preventing Itunes from automatic sync with ipod

I can't find anything about this anywhere so you might be able to help me!
I changed the podcast automatic sync settings on my ipod and for some inexplicable reaon, the ipod (160gb classic) started sncing manually with itunes. (i'm pretty sure i didn't touch the manual tick box!)
Everytime I unclick the manual snyc button on the ipod page, itunes shuts down and i get a message saying that data execution protection has prevented changes. I have attempted to change the DEP setting for itunes, but I get a message saying that i'm not authorised/ not safe to do so. i am logged in as an administrator.
Anyone have any idea what to do next!?!

I basically was unselecting "manually manage music and videos", ok-ed the standard do you really want to do that box and the itunes shut down.
Windows problems/solutions would then tell me about itunes not having enough DEP priviliges.
Unfortunately I'm not able to tell you what happens, as I have just tried it again to get the exact errors and it has worked beautifully!
no shutdowns, no problems. I haven't done anything differently.
Problem reports and solutions don't mention the DEP thing but say fault with stackhash_fd600.
Obviously posting on this forum in itself is enough to solve problems!

  • Preventing Itunes from automatally synching

    I want to prevent itunes from automatically syching when I plug in my iPod. I have music on my Ipod that is not in my library and I understand that synching will cause music to be erased from the iPod.
    I went into EDIT, SETTINGS, DEVICES, and then checked the box "Prevent Automatic Synchronizing of ipods, iPhones, and iPads" and then clicked on "OK".
    THIS DID NOT WORK. When I plugged in my iPod, the device immediately said on the screen "synchronizing".
    What am I to do?

    After plugging in your ipod to your computer, click on it under devices. A summary screen comes up. Towards the bottom under options you can click on Manually sync. Uncheck the sync only.... box. Now it will not auto sync.

    Is there a way to prevent iTunes from automatically starting the next playlist file on the iPad?

    When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

  • Just downloaded update 11.1.4 and my itunes no longer syncs with Ipods or Iphones. What do I do?

    Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4  and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones.  What do i do?  Should i uninstall new update?  and how?

    I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

  • Prevent iTunes from starting sync?

    I'm sure there must be a way to do this - my iPods are set to automatically begin syncing when connected, but I'd like to either stop it once started or prevent it from starting so I can change some of the options first. Is that possible?
    thanks.
    Sally

    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

  • Itunes will not sync with ipod touch

    itunes is installed with the latest version of itunes. all of a sudden, itunes will not sync with my ipod, itunes sees it, when i click to sync it goes through the motions, but never syncs. I get no messages or errors, it just never syncs. the ipod is seen in my computer as a portable device. windows 7 64 bit system. I had the apple store verify the ipod is fine, they emailed me the directions to uninstall all apple apps and reinstall. still, same thing. some of my playlists will not let me move songs within the playlist either, i get a blue border around the songs when i try to. not all of the playlists, only random ones

    iDevices are not backup devices... restore your media/playlists from the backup of your computer.

  • Audio Book shows in itunes but when synced with ipod it appears as music

    After an awful lot of time and fustration I have finally worked out how to get itunes to show Audio Books as Audio Books not music, I transfered 2 Audio books to itunes both in exactly the same way and both show as Audio Books in itunes. I sync my ipod and 1 Audio Book shows up as and Audio Book but the other has reverted back to Music. How? and Why? Argh!

  • ITunes 9 not allowing most smart playlists to automatically sync with iPod

    Oh dearie me. This is another major blunder for iTunes 9 - which I cannot see anyone else has noticed yet (but sorry if I couldn't find an existing related post).
    Since upgrading to iTunes 9- almost all of my smart playlists (whick worked perfectly before) have disappeared from my iPod. They have also removed themselves from the list in iTunes where I choose which playlists to sync. Yes- I use the 'sync only checked songs & playlists' option (but please don't suggest I manually manage music, as I've been there before).
    The problem seems to happen when a smart playlist references 2 or more other (smart or normal) playlists in iTunes. This excludes about 95% of my playlists from syncing in iTunes 9.
    Before the upgrade I noticed that iTunes posted an exclamation mark next to any playlist on my iPod that had a rule referencing a playlist in iTunes- but they still sunc perfectly for years. I mean if Apple allowed us to make our own smart playlists only for the iPod- then I would understand- but its the only way I can see to have a playlist for example that plays all favourite but not recently played dance music (regardles of actual genre); nor anything I have moved to a manual playlist called 'not for syncing'.
    As a test, I tried an experiment with a new smart playlist which said so long as the song appears in (all) 2 smart playlists- to see when it would become 'syncable'. As would be expected- it was not available to sync. As soon as I deleted the 2nd playlist rule- ie it only had to be in 1 playlist, it became 'syncable'. As soon as I added a 2nd rule again- be it a smart or normal playlist- it became 'unsyncable' again (disappeared from the sync list).
    Apple please fix this ASAP. I cannot see this as being desirable behavior in any way, shape or form.
    And while you are at it with the new improvements with iTunes 9 playlisting- please add an option to exclude certain 'match' parameters- eg match x and y, but exclude anything that matches z. Besides allowing for much better playlisting, that would (to a degree) also provide a workable workaround to the problem above.
    Yours faithfully,
    Mike

    Cheers for chiming in- but I don't think that will solve this problem. I have no podcasts on my iPod- only mp3s. My problem is I have way too much music in my library- over 300GB. So I have all my iTunes smart playlists- eg genre Dubstep- but then I have an iPod version of each of these eg Dubstep iPod- which says match both criteria- playlist is Dubstep, & playlist is not 'Master not sync'. Every smart playlist on my iPod revolves around this playlist- whose rules are if any of the following 2 criteria match: rating is not between 1&2 stars; playlist is not the normal manual playlist called 'not for iPod sync'- where I drop any mp3s that I don't need on my iPod. This scheme worked perfectly before.
    But I am gonna chew on what you said today- maybe there is a clue in there or maybe if I experiment with the 'music' rule. Either way- this is not an improvement- it's about 200 steps back. I still maintain that the problem I am seeing is not intentional coding. Something broke in the codebase & now iTunes 9 has playlist / syncing bugs which need fixing.
    Either that, or Apple need to finally release a 500GB iPod- so I can get rid of my iPod specific playlists & sync all my iTunes playlists. Then I would even consider putting podcasts on there as well...;) Heck maybe even some video... crazy idea, I know.

  • ITunes won't sync with iPod Classic

    Hi Helpful people,
    Sorry to ask the same question as a lot of others but nothing seems to be working.
    I have a 60GB iPod classic and I'm running iTunes 10.6.1.7
    iTunes detects my iPod device.
    In the iPod summary I have open iTunes when iPod is connected ticjed and sync only ticked songs and videos ticked.
    I have tried sync'ing like this and with both unticked.
    I have triied sync'ing from this page and also the File drop down.
    The best I have achieved so for is it saying it is sync'ing but I don't get the usual message at the top of sync'ing 1 of 5226 or whatever that I used to.
    Any tips from cyberspace?

  • Windows 8 iTunes not allowing "sync" with iPod

    New laptop with Windows 8. Downloaded iTunes software. Manage to upload songs from iPod. But after purchasing new music, could not sync back to iPod. The iPod icon is there but the option to "sync" under Devices is grayed out. Any ideas?  Thanks, Yvonne

    If you want to use the command in the menu bar
    File -> Devices -> Sync...
    you must have your iPod selected in iTunes.  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.  Click on it there to select it.  Then, that command in the menu bar will be enabled.  But it does the same thing as clicking the Sync button at the lower right corner, when you have the iPod selected.
    NOTE:  If you do not have the iPod set up to automatically sync your new songs, clicking on Sync will not put them on the iPod.  If you need help in setting up how iTunes syncs your iTunes library to your iPod, please post back.

  • Itunes freezes when syncing with ipod

    My itunes is freezing when i try to sync with itunes. Manual management does not cause freezing, but automatic syncing causes it to freeze after five or fewer podcasts / songs are transferred. The ipod is brand new, and ready to use. I've tried all the normal steps, such as reinstalling software, ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the response. I have installed, reinstalled the latest itunes, ran the diagnostics, looked through troubleshooting guides and forums before posting on this forum. Aside from Itunes freezing up in automatic syncing, both itunes and ipod seems to run normally.
    Could this be a problem with the library or some type of miscellaneous file? Any suggestions?

  • ITunes will not sync with iPod, but opens MS Outlook '03

    When I try to sync my iPod (5th Gen 30GB Vid) with my iTunes (ver: 7.1.1.5) I get the following error: "Attempting to copy to the disk "MOM'S IPOD" failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. iTunes could not save to your Music Folder because you do not have write access. Check the permissions on your Music Folder and folders in your Music Folder, then try copying this file again." Also, for some reason, Outlook 03 opens. I removed Outlook, and still recieved the same error, but this time Outlook didn't open. I also removed iTunes, Quicktime, and Apple Updater. I removed all iTunes entries from the registry, and rebooted. I downloaded iTunes 7.1.1.5 to my hard drive and re-installed all the iTunes stuff again. The error still occurrs. Any suggestions?

  • ITunes won't sync with ipod classic, keeps asking for authorization

    I have a brand new Macbook Air. I transfered my iTunes library from my old mac to the new one. However, some songs weren't on the old computer, they were only on the iPod classic.
    When I try to sync the iPod classic, it tells me 539 songs aren't on the new computer, should it sync? I say yes. Then it says that the computer is no longer authorized. I fill in the authorization with the correct userid and password (it comes prefilled with a very strange userid that I've never seen before.)
    It tries to sync, then I get the same message, that the computer is no longer authorized.
    I'm assuming there's a certificate or cookie some place that's out of wack -- can you tell me where it is and I can go delete it?
    Thanks
    PS. I was able to successfully sync my iPod Nano to the new computer without this issue at all. Then again, it didn't have any songs on it that weren't already on the new computer. I haven't tried syncing my iPod Mini to the new computer yet.
