Got a strange problem, Can sync but after sync shows there is a problem and uninstalling

Ok I have the latest generation Nano, Windows 7 (64bit)
- All windows updates
- Correct and update Asus motherboard drivers
- Latest iTunes 10.6 install (64 bit)  also have uninstalled and reinstalled
- Already restored iPod through iTunes
The Problem: 
I connect the USB cable, the iPod connects and syncs correctly
Windows Devices and Printers shows the iPod in there no problem
IMMEDIATLY  after sync the Devices and Printers shows the ipod with a yellow bang (exclamation mark)  go to properties "error 21 uninstalling"
(go to more information says "usb Mass storage device is not working properly"  "problem with PnP device")
Other USB Mass storage devices work fine (Thumb drives, hard drives, camera, webcam) - though I did take them off for troubleshooting sake.
I'm completly stumped, this is a pretty fresh reinstall of the OS, really not wanting to have to install it again, but if I have to I have to I guess.  I've uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile driver, and reinstalled at least twice now.  I have the correct and latest drivers from Intel, everything is up to date.
Also I've already gone into 'Disk Management'  I made sure there where no conflicting drive letters.
Any other ideas?

I don't think it is caused by a hardware problem on the iPod, and any software problem on the iPod would be fixed with a Restore (which you said you did already).  But can't rule out some odd hardware issue.
Try the "test" this way...  Connect the iPod with iTunes running (disk mode enabled).  In Windows, it should appear as a removable storage device.  Eject the iPod's disk using Windows.  I don't know exactly how you do it in Windows 7, but it would be the same thing you do to eject a USB flash drive or external drive, before disconnecting it.
So, with iTunes running, if you use Windows to eject the iPod (instead of iTunes), does that error come up?
ever time I connect the iPod get a pop up in the sys tray showing it's installing mass storage
That "pop up in the sys tray" does not happen every time you connect another type of "mass storage" device, like a USB external drive or flash drive, correct?  It only happens with this iPod?

  • HT1386 I cannot get apps I purchased now sitting on my pc onto my iphone.  They were there before I upgraded to 6.0.1.  I backed them up on my pc and I can see the apps are all there.  But after syncing they still don't appear on my phone.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device.  Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit.  I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

  • I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function works

    I can edit on Premiere Pro 6 files, but after a dozen keystrokes, the space bar and cursor keys stop working while the save function, render workspace function, export file are still operational. How can I fix it so I may complete my assignment?
    Besides DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Suite 6 is the only software on the machine. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Operating System on AMD FX 6100 six-Core Processor at 3.31gHz and 32 GB RAM memory. There are two SLI-bridged GTX680 NVidia cards.
    The software was very stable for the last six months, working with 720P proxy files from 2.5K masters (Blackmagic Design Camera). I am working on a feature-length project that exceeds 1000 edits. I have broken the file into 2 one hour segments.
    I have deactivated the software before reinstalling the entire OS from scratch. PP6 was very stable for 48 hours. Then the freezing space bar returns. After a dozen strokes into the project, same problem.  I have made cache files store next to originals, I have deleted preview files if they were corrupted and causing instability. Am I missing something?
    I have Microsoft Security Essentials for virus protection. I double checked the memory for damage/defect. Nothing says that the motherboard or other components are damaged.
    I am in film competition overseas and need to have deliverables in less than a month's time.  I lost the last two weeks troubleshooting and this crisis came at an inopportune moment of the project.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Still getting software freezes but found a way to mitigate for the mean time.
    Upon launching Adobe Premiere Pro, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to launch TaskManager as well.
    You will want to highlight Adobe QT32 Server.exe
    Right click and select "End Process Tree"
    You will get considerable stability in the program, long enough to get timing of cuts done. Be sure to save often.
    If the program freezes, do not hit Save. You definitely want to avoid saving the corruption into your TimeLine
    CTRL-ALT-DEL to relaunch the TaskManager and highlight Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
    Right-click to "End Process"
    No need to reboot the whole system; just launch Premiere Pro again and continue with the session. Note that your work reverted to Last Save.
    Hope this helps until the bug is fixed.

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • HT5624 My husband just got an iPhone also, can we have separate iCloud accts? All my contacts and appointments are now on his phone too.

    My husband just got an iPhone also, can we have separate iCloud accts? All my contacts and appointments are now on his phone too.

    I had the same problem too.
    Yes, you can go apply for a new AppleID, which would be <your account>@icloud.com.
    Then put this new AppleID into the icloud account field.
    After this action, you will not be seeing the same contacts and appointments.
    But for the itunes store, you still can use the same AppleID so that you can share purchases.
    My wife and I use separate icloud accounts, and then we use a 3rd appleid for our itunes store. This allowed us to have separate contacts but still share itune purchases.

  • Ipod starts to sync, but only syncs for about 10 secs

    My ipod will begin to sync, but after about 10 seconds, it says its done, when in fact it still has a lot of songs to go. I have already done all the "r's" and am running out of ideas. Anything else?

    I am having the same problem... i went to the genius bar today and the guy connected it to the macbook and it worked fine, but i got a replacement for about 63 dollars and change... i get back home and try to sync the music and once again, only about 10 second sync before it stops...

  • Error while opening pdf in reader in windows 8:Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format

    I have a problem with a pdf file which does not open with reader in windows 8 but it opens properly with adobe pdf reader. All other pdf can be opened in reader.But when i open a pdf(see this link for pdf for which i got error http://incometaxsoft.com/temp/Form.pdf)
    it gives error as "Can't open this file. There's a problem with file format".
    The same file opens properly in adobe pdf reader.You can check the pdf file which i have mentioned in the link above.But the reader which comes with windows 8 can open some other pdf in the same PC.What may be the error causing this??

    This has turned out to be an enormous issue for me as I sell PDF files as ebooks. I have done a fair amount of investigating this for my system.
    My files have to be compatible not just across readers but across operating systems.
    To date, I have over 200 PDFs that have functioned flawlessly across Mac, PC (Windows 7 and below), Android, iPhone/iPad, Linux.
    I personally test my PDFs using a variety of readers and PDF editors including
    PDF XChange (my favorite)
    Foxit (runner up for me and I recommend for most people)
    Adobe (the bloated monster)
    Nitro 9 (great for moving graphical elements around)
    ABBYY
    And the Nuance PDF Create toolsets
    Those are off the top of my head. There are a bunch on Android that I test with too.
    I am running the Windows 10 Pro Tech Preview and I have this same problem so I know it isn't fixed yet in any kind of pre-release way (-sigh-)
    Here is what I've learned for my situation
    The PDFs I created using NUANCE'S PDF CREATE PROFESSIONAL VERSION 8
    all fail using the built-in Windows 8/10 PDF reader.
    When I look at the PDF properties for these Nuance created files, the underlying engine used to write them is called "ImageToPDF". Using ABBYY it indicates their own engine as does everyone else that I've tried. It is easy for you to check to see
    what created your PDF by doing a "Control D" (look at the document properties). Perhaps there's a common engine causing issues.
    If I use the exact same source files to create a PDF using any of my other tools I have no issues. I checked the PDF versions made by the tools and they are all set to 1.5.
    A customer mentioned being able to convert them in a way they worked by saving them without having to do any kind of extraction, but I have not been able to duplicate that. Perhaps he did a "print" which seems like it could work.
    In summary, the workaround everyone is talking about, using an alternate reader, of course works. But not everyone wants to change.
     The culprit I have found is my Nuance PDF Creation tools that are using the ImageToPDF engine.
    I hope it gets FIXED as I really don't want to have to regenerate all of my PDF files.

  • In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out?  I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps.  I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

  • My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

    My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

    I FINALLY got it to work on BOTH iPhone 4 and iPpad 3.  Here is what I had to do:
    Had to DELETE all e-mail accounts including icloud.
    Did a hard reset (hold down button on top right corner and round button on bottom center)
    Then once it came back on, the iPhone had ALL of the accounts still on it and it was receivng e-mail.
    The iPad receive e-mail until I did the steps above 5 times.  Plus, I had to add back all of the e-mail accounts vs. on the iPhone 4 they were there when my phone came on.
    Now I am receiving e-mail on both devices normally.
    No clue why this happened, but Apple needs to find a fix ASAP.

  • I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan

    I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan

    You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
    Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
    All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
    Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source.

    Well it does detect the camera, under USB in the System Profiler it says "FaceTime-HD-camera (built-in)". But the image distortion.
    Since you can't see the image, here's a description: it shows horizontal lines all over the place in the image, and the lines are quite tall and they contain part of the image but moved horizontally to the left or right, and in a different color as well. So for example you could see part of my face but there is a horizontal bar where my eyes are located in, and it is moved to the left so that my eyes are at the left of my face. I hope that made some sense...
    Will try to get to an Apple store next week.
