Device removal pop up before i can even sync my ipod?

I plug my iPod into my laptop macbook, and it takes a while. Then it shows up, but before I can hit sync, it disappears from the left side of my iTunes (where it says ___'s iPod) and off the desktop as a device, and it keeps on doing it. I've tried numerous times. What should I do? I want to be able to update my iPod.

Alot of us are having the same problem witht he new version of Itunes... Apple needs to fix their own side of the problem cause no support they are giving us is working! Also half of the answers from the community are risky/ waste of time answers that are unsure if they will even work, and to many that try -Don't work!
Ive been trying since yesterday to get an answer, no one is helping :/

    Sorry if I sound stupid but how do I contact the developer? Where would I find that information?

  • Email vanishes before I can even read it...

    I have a serious problem. Been on-going and I haven't found a solution yet.
    Incoming email that is vanishing before I can even read it.
    Numerous times oI've noticed incoming email notifications on on the pop up notification window on the upper righthand of the screen. I can see who the email is from and the first sentence or so.
    But when I go to Apple Mail the email(s) aren't there.
    I've checked the junk folder, trash folder even my mailbox on icloud and no email. As if it never happened.
    For example I just paid my credit card bill online. I saw an immediate Apple Mail notification from my CC company confirming payment. But when I check Apple Mail the email never made it to my box. Not a sign of it - anywhere.
    I go to Apple mail -- no email.
    I'm having the same problem with several other incoming accounts. The emails simply refuse to show up in Apple Mail.
    Is this a known issue? It's also happening across my synced computers and the ipad. None of them show certain emails showing up.
    I use Spam Sieve to manage spam. But it doesn't seem to matter if I uninstall it or if its running or not.
    It caused a serious problem a while back. A business associate claimed he had emailed me a dozen times about a project. I would check - no emails anyhere. I finally had him do a test. I would be on the phone and he would push send. I would see the notification come up showing it had arrived. But nothing in Apple Mail. It's driving me crazy. I have no idea how many email addresses are affected.

    Here is a webpage with pictures that show what Carolyn is takling about.  I usually try the envelope rebuild first since it doesn't download my entire 12GB mailbox again.

  • Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer.  I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again.  What's up?

    When I started my iMac today, it started beeping like an alarm horn.  I shut it down, and held the startup button a little longer to get it to start.  Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer.  I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again.  What's up?  Am I screwed?  HELP!!

    What you are seeing is a kernel panic, often but not always connected with a hardware or peripheral issue, so, unplug everything except mouse and  keyboard, reboot and hold the shift key as soon as your hear the chime, continue holding it until you see the Apple Icon and spinning progress indicator, then post back.
    It will take noticeably longer than normal to start.

  • Hi. I am trying to buy Apperture as my trial version has expired. I cannot buy the full version as I get a message saying it is already installed. Do I have to remove the trial before I can buy it? When I launch Apperture, I follow the link "buy"

    Hi. I am trying to buy Apperture as my trial version has expired. I cannot buy the full version as I get a message saying it is already installed. Do I have to remove the trial before I can buy it? When I launch Apperture, I follow the link "buy"

    If you are purchasing from the Mac App store, then you would drag the trial version to the trash first and empty trash (since the trial version has expired).
    Launch the Mac App store > sign in with your Apple ID > purchase Aperture (this is cheaper than the previous retail version many of us purchased anyway).
    Note - you can rename your Aperture Trial library as needed if you want to work with that one once the full version is installed.

    After updating iTunes on my Win7 64bit PC, when I plug my iPod Touch 32GB in, I get the error message "MTP USB device has failed to install" and can't sync. Yesterday, everything worked well.
    Need help, please!

    Thank you. I removed iTunes, QT, Safari and related software, then applied a Windows update and reinstalled iTunes and related software. It solved my problem and let me sync my iPod.
    Thanks!

  • I had to change my user ID because I used my email at my old job and now the old one keeps popping up and I can't sync mu phone or authorize my computer at work to sync my phone. to syn

    I had to change my user ID because I used my email at my old job and now the old one keeps popping up and I can't sync my phone or authorize my computer at work to sync my phone. I have a new user ID and PW that allows me into ITUNES but that old one won't go away. Any help? Thanks

    Hi, you can't change which ID was used to purchase any app. However, you can edit your Apple ID, which may be a better option than using a new id.

  • How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

    How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

    I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
    I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
    I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac.  Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
    I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
    The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
    Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
    I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!

  • I can't sync my iPod after upgrading to iTunes 7 - Help!

    I'm running an Intel 20" iMac with all of the latest software updates applied.
    My iPod is a 30GB iPod Photo (4G) running software version 1.2.1.
    I upgraded to iTunes 7 last night. Since then, I can't sync my iPod. Here's what happened/happens...
    I installed iTunes 7. On first run (iPod disconnected) it checked for album art and ran through my library to determine the zero gap playback info. That all happened successfully.
    When I connect my iPod (which is set to auto update), it recognizes it, and show the status page (also shows up in "devices" in left pane) and immediately a small window pops up with the text "Updating library on 'Evan's iPod'". The progress bar gets to somewhere between 30-70% and then hangs.
    I left it running all night and it never finished. My only option was to Force Quit iTunes. Once I did, my iPod was still fine, and had all my music on it, just nothing new.
    I've tried rebooting my computer and iPod, to no avail.
    I would try reformatting my iPod, except that you can now (seemingly) only do that through iTunes (as opposed to a separate updater as in the past). Since iTunes locks up as soon as my iPod is connected, that doesn't help me much...
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Evan
    Intel iMac 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.
    Thanks,
    Evan

  • TS1538 My itunes no longer recognises ipod and i now can't sync my ipod??

    I can't sync my ipod because itunes won't recognise it

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    All you can do is to restore and thus erase the iPod unless you can get a data recovery company to preserve the data.
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
