Fix for iPod not connecting

I was having trouble with my iPod, it would show up in windows, and say 'iPod Service Error ' in the iPod updater, and iTunes wouldn't aknowledge it at all. I tried many things including restore (in disk mode updater worked), changing the drive letter, and the 5 r's. The fix for this problem was simply turning off my anti virus software. Appearantly PC's like to see ipod software as foreign and even though your ipod might work fine for a few days, the anti virus software will eventually mess it up. So all you have to do is disable that and it should work.

hey, i am having the exact same problem but i dont know which anti virus software is doing it. i have a dell with xp what did you disable? thanks!

  • Fix for Mac not connecting to local network

    Hi,
    I'm a uni student and I've had trouble connecting my Macbook Pro to the local Uni network so I can access computers connected to the network from my computer in my dorm. It worked perfectly fine the first day and then it stopped working. I contacted Apple today to fix the problem and was told to the following procedure:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    It solved the issue perfectly and I also found the reason for why my Mac was not connecting. Well since I've got a few more devices at home I've setup 'Internet Sharing' on the Mac so my ethernet connection is shared wireless through the computer's built in router. Turning this function on for some reason blocks you out from accessing your network. So yea, I thought this might help anyone else who've had the same problem, since I couldn't seem to find it anywhere on the internet!

    Not on this forum.  Classic Mac OS 9 is not the same as Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

  • FINALLY A FIX FOR iPODS NOT RECOGNIZED BY iTUNES

    Important Note: This fix is only for people whose device manager is blank. Also, Windows explorer (my computer) must recognize you iPod, but iTunes does not.
    Alas, my friends, it is done. No thanks to Apple for solving this problem. After a full month of tring to fix this problem, I can now trace it back to a dangerous spyware program: Apropos
    I had no clue it was on my computer, and it is therefore the reason that my iTunes was working perfectly until one fateful day. Almost no spyware programs such as Search and Destory can detect it, and it does more than hide ur device manager. It slows down your computer greatly, and often disables LAN.
    The fix is simple: http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/aproposfix.exe
    Go there and follow these steps:
    Step 1.
    =====
    Download these files to remove Apropos to your Desktop.
    http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/aproposfix.exe
    Step 2.
    =====
    Restart your computer and enter Safe Mode by pressing F8 on the keyboard repeatedly AFTER your BIOS loads and BEFORE Windows starts to load.
    Step 3.
    =====
    Log into the account where the files you downloaded are on the Desktop. It should be an account with Administor privledges.
    Step 4.
    =====
    //For AproposFix.exe:
    Double click on AproposFix.exe and extract the files to your Desktop. Open that folder and double click on Run This.bat and follow the instructions. Restart the computer once you are prompted.
    After that, your iPod should show up in iTunes ( this fix is for people whose iPod does not show up in device manager).
    The culprit: An undetectable and notorious spyware program:
    ***Apropos***
    Please post feedback, and I'll do my best to answer your questions.

  • Fix for Yosemite not connecting to internet or apps

    I can't take credit for this I saw another poster from a few days ago but I was having trouble where I could connect to some websites but not all and any app that required internet was not working. I made all of my login accounts admins and that helped. I am now able to use my laptop the way it's supposed to be.
    If you want to know how to do this go to system preferences>users & groups>click lock to make changes> allow user to administer this computer> apply then restart computer. I hope this helps everyone like it has helped me

  • Fix for ipod not readable wiped erased

    hey, we had a powerbook crash while transferring a file from ipod in disk mode and when restarted, the ipod went into initialising itself with the select language + would not mount on the powerbook and displayed no songs on the ipod. It basically looks like it was either wiped or erased. If you're in this situation on a mac, try disk utility and repair the disk. I ran it from my macbook and it looks like all songs and data are there. You might get lucky.
    The powerbook starting to intermittently crash .. that's another story that doesn't look so great..

    as per post. Try running disk utility to repair, then eject and remount.

  • FOUND A FIX FOR COMPUTER NOT RECOGNIZING IPOD!!!

    I have read several threads over the past week relating to the issue of iPods not connecting to the computer. The specifics were:
    1. iPod not appearing on desktop
    2. iTunes did not recognize iPod
    3. Disk Utility and iPod updater did not register that iPod was connected
    4. THE IPOD DID CONNECT TO ANOTHER COMPUTER!!!! (I would recommend trying this if you can, if it does connect to another computer you can isolate that it is the computer not the iPod causing the problem)
    I really did not want to restore my iPod or reinstall system software, but after reading a suggestion about resetting PRAM, I thought I might as well give it a try, as nothing else was working. IT WORKED!!! And it was only at the cost of resetting my computer's clock, even better!!! If this solves your problem please post here to let me know.
    If you dont know how to reset your PRAM check out this link:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238

    Good call, resetting the PRAM and NVRAM did the trick for me! I got some message about a new firmware that I should install on my iPod, and then after that I got messages saying that my computer couldn't recognize my iPod, and that I needed to initialize the disk.
    Your suggestions saved me!

  • Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.

    Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
    Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
    First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
         - Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
         - Set location to Automatic
         - Click Apply
         - Click Advanced
         - Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
         - Click Apply
         - Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
    Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
         - Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
         - Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
    Turn off your computer
         - push and hold Option+Command+R+P
         - turn on computer
         - when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
         - you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
         - this resets your PRAM
    Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
         - click Choose a Network
         - Select your network and enter password
    Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010

         No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
         I called Apple Support  and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
    Cheers.

  • Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

    Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
    Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
    How do I get update to 6.0.2?
    Will that even help?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem with my Dell Latitude E4310, and apparently also the E6410, E6510.
    The solution for me was to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
    options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14
    I tried that, unfortunately it does not work with this chipset. I do get a different set of channels though but it still cannot record anything. Maybe this chipset is too "new" for alsa. The latest release dates back from the end of January. Support for it is explicitly stated in the changelog to 1.0.24 but perhaps the recording part of it slipped through the cracks. ALSA bug tracking system seems quite closed.
