Everytime my ipod updates it starts all over...help please

everytime i plug in my ipod it erases all the songs and starts updating fresh...what do i need to do so it only updates new songs added to my library?

I would try using the ipod updater to restore the ipod and then try reloading the songs onto it. Something like this is usually a glitch in the os on the ipod not telling itunes that it is already on the hard drive. This should fix your issue.

Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS

HT4539 how to i transfer my games from one ipod to another without starting all over?

can anyone help? i just got the new iPod touch 5th generation, i need to know how to transfer all of my games from my old ipod touch to my new one without starting all over. i want to transfer my games as they are.

Connect the old one to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) to make sure that all of the apps are on your computer, then force a backup of the iPod by right-clicking the iPod 'device' and selecting 'backup' and then restore that backup onto your new iPod (that will overwrite anything that you've added to that iPod) - hopefully your games and their progress will be copied over.

Can I download music I have on my already downloaded for another iPod to my new iPod, or do i have to start all over.

Can music that I've already purchased for my iPod shuffle to my new iPod touch I recieved for christmas or do I have to start all over again? marthafrombraselton

transfer all the music in the ipod nano to your library,
connect your ipod touch and go into your library and choose all of the music you want and drag the songs to your ipod touch in itunes.

After an update to Mt.Lion, my iWeb was GONE, leaving me with my website on my host, but all my iWeb information on my computer was totally wiped out. I was able to load iWeb again, but I will have to start all over rebuilding my site...any suggestions?

Has anyone else lost their entire iWeb information after upgrading to MT. Lion? I did manage to upload iWeb again, but it's like I've started all over with no data, so I will have to totally rebuild my site -if I ues iWeb-and upload the entier site again, and I have no guarantees that I won't lose it again.

Did you do a clean install of Mt. Lion, i.e. an erase and install? If you didn't do a clean instal check inside the User/Library/Applicatrion Support/iWeb folder to see if there's a file there named Domain.sites.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you don't have a backup strategy then this would be a good time to start one. The simplest to start is to use Time Machine with an external HD that's at least 1.5 times the size of your boot drive.

Updated to Mavericks and the new version of iPhoto starts to install but just gets to 10.2MB and starts all over and then comes up with an error message

I installed Mavericks to my computer and iPhoto isn’t working it has a grey no working symbol over it. So I tried to download the new version of iPhoto but it starts to download and just gets to 10.2MB and starts all over after about 3 mins of doing this it comes up with an error message saying an error had occurred. I have tried downloading several times restarting the computer and downloading and still get the same thing over and over again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window.

How do delete my ipod account and just start all over again

i just dont like my account ive forgotten half my passwords and stuff so i just want to delete it and start all over please help

Apple ID's cannot be deleted.
There is only one password for the Apple ID... not sure why you believe you've forgotten "half your passwords".
Maybe if you explain a little more clearly we can offer a better solution.

I cannot open project; do I start all over, or is there hope?

So I have started doing video podcasts and am using iMovie '11 for editing the footage.
I exported my first episode which turned out to be around 18 min total. When I watched it to verify, the audio started becoming out of sync with the video. It got progressively worse. Searching these forums and the Internet, I found other users were noticing the same problem. One workaround was to extract the audio from each and every clip. I tried this and it worked. The exported movie had no video/audio sync problems. So I thought that would be my workflow.
Then I started working on my second episode. It turned out to be a long one clocking in at an hour and 45 min. It consisted of some complicated edits and a very large number of separate clips. I started my tedious workflow and workaround of extracting the audio from each and every clip so the exported movie would have video/audio in sync. The process got progressively slower and slower. At some point about halfway through, when I right clicked on an clip to extract the audio, the spinning beach ball came up and iMovie hung. I restarted and tried again, but the same result. When I restarted again, iMovie would not start. I can double click my first episode project and open it, but the second episode will not load; well, it will load sometimes, but if I do anything with it, including just moving the mouse, spinning beach ball and hung. Searching the Internet, I found recommendations to clear the cache and plist. This didn't help any for me. Sometimes, iMovie will hang when I simply select the project in my project library; sometimes, I can select the project and quickly get to the menus. I tried doing this and duplicating the project, but the duplicated project showed the same symptoms.
Unfortunately, I did not keep backups and I don't know why I didn't with such a large project. I've learned my lesson.
Question: Is there any hope of getting the project to a state where I can salvage it? Anyway to reattach the audio outside of iMovie or something?
I also realize now that iMovie is probably not meant for such large, complex projects. But, the video/audio sync issue doesn't seem to be that hard to reproduce. I have submitted feedback for that.
If I decide to continue using iMovie, I am going to add to my workflow that a project cannot be over x minutes long, export the parts, and combine them with Quicktime.
Question: Are there recommended guidelines for a single project's complexity or length?
I am hoping for some answers here; otherwise, I guess I'll have to start all over and spend the next two days re-editing.

I have the exact same problem here Jason, only in my case the project is merely 15 mins long...
I noticed the audio sync issues on exported files (needed it as a QT HD to play in front of a whole school assembly) about half way through the audio would go miles out - well over a minute adrift.
Having read some posts I decided to detach the audio as you did, it let me do this for a while then about half way through I got the beach ball and likewise I'm now stuck with an urgent essential project that I can't do anything with. This is on a brand new 27" i7 iMac with all the updates, and no other projects. It's like the dark days of Pinnacle on windows, I thought this stuff was supposed to just work!
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix - I've repaired permissions, tried trashing the iMovie prefs etc but it still hangs every time.

My Nano took a trip thru the washer and dryer and I assume it is destroyed. My wife bought me a new one, but Itunes doesn't recognize it, although my computer does. How do I get pack into my music, I don't want to start all over again?

How do I get Itunes to recognize it. I spent a lot of time recording my old cassetes and don't want to start all over again. I just want to get back to where I was.

Did you already try the troubleshooting here? iPod not appearing in iTunes

HT2558 I am trying to upload software but each time I am asked to upload a box pops up with install and restart. I press this, the computer restarts and I start all over again. No authentication icon appears.

I am trying to update software on my macbook pro. From the apple menu, I click "check updates", software is then checked and a list presented of software that I require downloading. I then tick the relevant applications. The blue bar with "install and restart" appears, I press this, the computer goes into restart mode, I login and start all over again.
i seem to be in a loop! No authentical dialogue box appears for me to enter my name and password.
Any suggestions please!

Hi, try a refresh that'll bypass the cache with the Shift key + F5 (or Shift-click on reload) which is the same as clearing your browser cache (Ctrl+F5 for the Internet Exploder). If that doesn't work, then you can try a new firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles profile] just to see if it's (your) Firefox-related or maybe an actual problem with the site (maybe starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] can be a quicker check).

How do I get a clean start for catalog to start all over again?

Running PSE5 on Win XP w/SP3
I have not been able to get any information about how to recover a catalog from files that have been copied as a backup, so it looks like I'm forced to start all over again. There are about 17000 images in the C: drive. The images all seem to be OK. A few days ago there was a properly operating catalog file (and all the others) there, too.
Since then, I have tried to learn how to make the former catalog file operative, but no luck. Since then, I have read that just uninstalling and reinstalling PSE5 will do nothing to give me a clean start - that is, all the old (now problematical) catalog file trouble will still be there.
To start all over again seems like such a waste of time, since I have copies of all the catalog files as they were properly operating in March, but it seems that something important is missing and none of this stuff is useful in any way. I'm not the PSE5 user, so I didn't know about the external catalog backup that can be done from within PSE5 - so the possibility to use that technique does not exist. All I have is a straight copy of everything in the Documents and Settings.. ...Application Data\Adobe folder. I've tried replacing the whole Adobe folder with the backup files, starting PSE5 and looking at the catalog, but that didn't work either. I just get the same old empty catalog.
So, the 'start all over' option seems like the only way out. Anyone who has lost the catalog knows how much work is in the catalog, so any help with either making the old catalog file work through reconstruction somehow, or starting all over again, will be very helpful. Someday, I'd like to learn how this happened. Until then I'll be backing up the catalog file from within PSE5 to an external location... Everytime there's a new entry in the catalog information. That method seems simple enough that even I could do it.
Thanks,
Al

I tried to open the resident 'My Catalog.psa' file. PSE5 dutifully did that and the catalog information, such as tags and other information that would normally be present when looking at the Organizer is blank, as if nothing has ever been entered in the catalog.
The 'My Catalog.psa' file is about 600K (according to windows explorer) and resides in the 'Catalogs' folder. Also there are:
My Catalog-2.psa about 3252K
My Catalog-2.psa about 5380K
In the folder: 'Catalog Folders' were the folders:
My Catalog
My Catalog-1
In the folder My Catalog are the files:
backupCt.dat 1K
collstatus.dat 1K
tagstatus.dat 1K
thumb.5.cache 10K
In the folder My Catalog-1 is the file:
tn.4.cache 32394 K
Above I say 'In the folder, Catalog Folders, were the folders My Catalog and My Catalog-1' because last night when shutting down, I didn't know what was in those folders. I was too tired to check.
I did copy everything that was in the Adobe folder and all associated sub folders, including the folders above, to an SD flash card before I started to do anything else. Becasue of this, I should be able to get back to the way it was before I started to do anything, then I opened the catalog file My Catalog-1.psa. It said that it was made from an earlier version, asked to convert it and contained the 2002 to 2004 catalog information. To the best of my knowledge, those photos were never entered in PSE5, and probably were from an earlier version of PS Album.
So, where is the information that was once in the PSE5 catalog? Which files should contain that information? Why can't the files simply be copied from the backup copies back on to the C:\ drive in the proper folders and then upon starting PSE5 see at least the catalog that was present when the copies of the files in the folders above were made? What dumb mistakes could have been made to overwrite the information in the catalog and make the catalog appear empty? If I don't learn this, I'll not be able to prevent it from happening again.
I'm not on the machine with the trouble at the moment, and since it is not my machine, I sometimes have trouble getting to it during normal waking hours. I don't know the exact clicks and keystrokes that got the catalog from its normal function to appearing and functioning as if it is empty..
What exactly are the symptoms of "PSE5 doesn't like..."? The catalog appears and functions as if it is empty - as if nothing ever has been or ever was entered into it. PSE5 Organizer is operating normally as far as I can tell. I cannot seem to locate the former catalog information and it has not loaded the former catalog file information. A new test catalog was made and it opens and shows the thumbnails of its four images. I hope that the test catalog I made didn't overwrite anything that would prevent going back to the original catalog information. The copies of the files can be restored as they were a few months ago, though, because there is a copy of them on an SD card.
Thanks,
Al

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

Bluetooth--want to start all over again

I currently have 4 bluetooth devices connected to my MacBook Pro: a headset, mouse, keyboard, and occassionally my cell phone.
I want to delete all traces of pairing of these four devices and start all over again to pair these devices to the MacBook Pro. How do I do that?
I know I can go to System Preferences > Bluetooth and delete the pairing. However, in the Bluetooth File Exchange programme, devices that used to be paired to the computer (but no longer are) are still listed.
What are the preferences file and .plist files I need to delete in order to remove all traces of old pairings?
Thanks!
