For Anyone Having Problems Connecting Ipod to Itunes/My Computer

I have just spent all day trying to get my new Ipod Nano sync'd.
Just attempted unplugging my Printer and other devices so that only my mouse was left. I plugged my Ipod in and it worked. So basically I don't think it likes my printer being plugged in at the same time as it.
Worth a go for anyone pulling their hair out like I was.

"She also told me that if that didn't work, that I should get a PCI card with USB 2.0. They have a list of recommended brands (tend to work with iPods?) here, so I ran to a local store and picked up a SIIG brand card (this exact model), and it works great."
So, because of a fault of Apple, YOU had to buy more stuff for your computer to make THEIR product work? Id see about trying to get Apple to foot the bill of that. I would have told the tech support gal, to tell her superiors to stick their Nano where it wont play again. Why is Apple not aknowledging this problem? Ive been loyal to Ipods since the old shuffle hit the shelves. It served me well until this year when it fell outta my pocket and sat through a weekend of ice and snow on our driveway. I have half a mind to return this bugged up mess and ebay me a new (well old) shuffle. This is rediculas! At least I got some songs on it once, its not completely useless...yet... I am NOT buying new USB ports for my computer when every single USB device I have works just darn fine in the ones I have on my computer now.

  • Great Resource for anyone having problems rendering their projects

    We see questions almost every day about rendering problems. Why does my file???
    The best solution for most rendering problems is to use the Adobe Media Encoder. Joost van der Hoeven has created a new series on the AME for Adobe TV. I just watched them all. They are clear, concise and a great resource for anyone wanting to understand the rendering process and deliver high quality product to their viewers.

    This does not solve the problems in the rendering.

  • Anyone having problems connecting their Hands Free Blue Tooth in their car?

    My new 4s will not connect to the hands free BT in my 2010 Infiniti G37.  My old 3Gs had no problem connecting.  When I try to hook my new phone up the car doesn't even recognize an available phone.

    How do you figure that?
    Companies are turning them off.
    your cell phone provider would prefer you use a wifi hotspot than their cellular network
    True, but "Borders Books" and other private businesses are not there to help cell phone providers. Cell phone providers would prefer I use the phone in my hotel room also, but no one does that either.
    towers which no one wants in their area.
    Everyone I know wants more cell towers.
    You will see in the coming years, there will be a very big push towards Wifi all over the country.
    Who is pushing? I get the web on my iPhone. With 4G the speed is the same as Wifi.

  • Problems connecting ipod to itunes

    Hi,
    just bought a new ipod touch, and i downloaded the itunes from the website, itunes 7.
    but it doesn't seem to want to connect to my ipod,
    the message that keeps coming up is:

    I have done this several times but i still keep getting the same problem, any ideas?

  • Having problem syncing iPod with iTune

    I have never come across this problem before but I have the 80GB iPod and I tried to update and sync it and iTunes does not have the sync option available. It is grayed out and it asks me to "Transfer purchases from iPod". I don't have any purchases to transfer or anything and even when I do click on it nothing happens. At this point, I can't sync my iPod or add any new songs. What should I do? Any suggestions?

    Hi i am having the same problem have you sorted it yet ive go inand reset the deve manager reinstalled at my wits end and i am going away tommorow with no internet for 3-6 weeks so it will probably have to wait until im home again cheers sb2432

  • Problem connecting iPod after iTunes upgrade to 6.0.1.3

    After upgrade to latest iTunes when connecting my iPod it shows up as MAXTOR not the name of my iPod. When I click on MAXTOR I cannot see the songs.

    well done Lorraine!
    I had my digital camera plugged in to download some pictures yesterday and it defaults to the same drive letter as the iPod.
    you know, i'm constantly terrified that that will happen to
    b me
    ... not entirely sure why it tends to hit other people when it doesn't hit me (given that this is actually to do with a "feature" of windows rather than bugs on any particular system).

  • Cannot Connect iPod to Itunes or Computer

    When i connect my ipod through the usb port, nothing comes up on itunes or my computer to say it is connected and i can begin synching my music. Any help?

    Hey there,
    Have you attempted Apple's 5 Rs? If not, go through each one of the those and see if that helps. If not, try putting your iPod into Disk Mode. More information on the 5 Rs and putting your iPod into Disk Mode can be found with the links below. Hope this helps.

  • Anyone having problems loading music purchased from amazon onto ipods?

    Anyone having problems lately uploading music purchased from amazon onto your ipods?  this is a recent experience for me.  I had been able to do it until a few weeks ago.

    There have been a handful of report over the last couple of weeks for other users who have starting getting error messages when trying to sync their Amazon purchases to their iPod from iTunes.
    Most of them are getting a -50 error.  If that is the case for you, see this older thread for a couple of solutions that worked for some other users.

  • Having problems connecting a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz i7 to a Sony KDL-32L5000 using a display miniport to DVI adapter (DVI to VGA cord). The TV is not detecting the macbook. Anyone have this problem?

    You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
    That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
    Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
    Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
    I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked.
