Graphic problems in ipod?, graphic problems in ipod?
I have some small problems in the 4g ipod touch (firmware 4.3.3) what happens is that in certain games like Prince of Persia Warrior Within stage there are parts that come and go (such as flashing) is annoying but not serious
should send a warranty or is it normal that happens
sorry but my English is bad
It is a possibility...
I will state though that in my opinion the main problem is that itunes 9 is far less fault tolerant than prior versions and is far more likely to preemptively send an ipod into recovery mode when running into a problem when a ipod is plugged in.
I'd had a couple of incidents in prior versions of itunes when it flashed an alert message that it was having trouble accessing the ipod. Usually unplugging and reconnecting the ipod resolved the issue. Unfortunately this system of handling the issue does not work at all with itunes 9. What happens is that the next time you plug in the ipod it is preemptively sent into recovery mode.
I've had my ipod sent into recovery mode 7-8 times since I Installed Itunes 9. The last 5 of those in the last week. I've already done the reinstall itunes 9 from scratch and I still had to do a recovery of the ipod last night. Today I bought a new interface cable on the theory that my old cable might be defective. I've been able to plug it in tonight without itunes complaining about being unable to access the ipod

If you can solve this problem, then you are a true iPod Classic Genius !
So I have talked to every level at Apple's iPod support, and to list all the things they made me do would exceed the size limit of this message board. They even made me send back my original iPod Classic, and I had to wait for almost 1 month to receive my replacement. Here is a summary of my problem, that they (Apple support) have not been able to solve :
- I have a very extensive iTunes collection - over 77,000 songs. All of them were ripped, using iTunes.
- I use the ID tags extensively - i.e. every field is used, and the comments are filled to the maximum allowed characters.
- I am not able, to synch more than ~ 23,300 songs to any of my two 160 Gb iPod classics - therefore, including my exchanged iPod, this issue shows up on three different iPods.
When synching more than 23,300 songs, my iPods are no longer able to play any songs. In the 'About' menu, the iPod shows the wrong number of songs (i.e. 17,300 instead of 24,000) and a huge amount of 'disk space used' is flagged as 'other' (in orange). When clicking on 'Album' or 'Songs', the iPod shows the message 'No songs found'.
When synching less than 23,300, I am able to resolve this issue by restarting the iPods after synching. However, even when synching less than 23,300 titles, the iPods show the wrong number of songs, right after synching, and the huge amount of 'disk space used' for 'other'. Therefore, I have to restart my iPods every time I synch them.
The same problem occurs when using my old Power Book G4 (OS X 10.4.10), and on my new 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.1).
I am using an external HD to hold my music files, which is directly connected to my USB2 port on either Laptop.
I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and all the firmware and software is up-to-date.
I have rebuilt my iTunes Library from scratch several times.
I have no problem, playing any of the 77,000+ songs in iTunes.
My assumption is, that there is a size limit for the iTunes library index file on the iPod. Can somebody confirm this theory ?
It seems funny, that the same problem shows up on three different iPods using two different Mac computers.
Does anybody have the same problem ?
Is this an issue that Apple is ignoring ?
Does anybody know, how this can be resolved ?
Thank you very much for your help.!
Message was edited by: Rochelle Renee ChristenHi There,
I have the exact same problem as you. I'm on my third ipod 160gb. All three have had the freezing and resetting problem. Like you my problems only start once I try to sync more than about 20,000 songs, which is around 90gb.
I have a 140gb music library. If I sync 70gb of my library it works fine. If I wipe that and sync the other 70gb it works fine so I know my mp3 files are okay. If I try to upload the whole library it freezes when I try to select any music.
If I'd only wanted to sync half my music library I'd have bought an 80gb ipod.
I thought firmware 1.1 and itunes 7.6 would solve my problem. No. Exact same problem. I contacted apple support. A genuinely helpful guy advised me to rebuild my music library and change my ipod drive letter. With baited breath I did all this, then restored my ipod to start from a clean slate. I synced my library in 10gb chunks... and it froze up around 90gb just like it always does.
What upsets me is the hours I've spent glued to my PC re-syncing music, searching through forums for answers. I'm absolutley pig sick of it. I never had a minutes trouble with any of my other ipods.
Please, please, please apple investigate this problem, it only happens when these ipods are over half full. Please let us have a firmware update that addresses the bugs us folks are complaining about instead of adding new features we'd be grateful for if only our ipods worked in the first place. -
i am trying to put music into my 3rd gen ipod touch and older ipod shuffle but neither are popping up on itunes, what could be the problem?

Ipod Touch Problems (ios 6.1.6)
This is will be kind of long so please bare with me and read if you think you can help. I could really use it
This started after the recent update from Itunes. So after updating my Itunes i tried to add music onto my iPod like i normally do. it came up and said it couldn't recognize my iPod. so i unplugged it and plugged it in again. when that happened everything seemed to work just find until i tried to add a song to my iPod. My Itunes froze on me all the while deleting every single song from my iPod. now what makes it weird is through iTunes it shows all my songs on my iPod but when actually going through my iPod there was "No Content" . So i restarted my Itunes and again tried to add more songs. Only difference now was i dragged the songs over. But nothing happened. Out of last stitch effort,i managed to add all my songs back and everything was fine. until the next time it came for me to add songs to my iPod.
My iTunes would freeze horribly the minute i would try to add a song. Thankfully this time it didn't delete anything off of my iPod. i would have to Ctrl+ALT+Dlt & end the process cause just trying to close it out from the task manager would just freeze it even more. So after that i decided that i would revert back to an older version of Itunes hoping that it would fix everything. So uninstalling the newer version of Itunes I installed a previous version that caused me no problems whatsoever. But to my dismay They same thing kept happening even when using the older versions of Itunes. It would freeze the minute i would try and add a song. So i stopped adding songs on my iPod for a couple of weeks. and even went through a MASSIVE cleaning on my computer just in case it could have possibly been a Windows problem.
So this last go round i decided after a couple weeks i would try and add 3 songs to my iPod. The minute that happened my Itunes froze and deleted every single song off my iPod. So to cut my losses i factory reset my iPod in hopes that would fix the problems if it was in fact my iPod and not the Itunes Software. That's when the strange things started happening. I slowly started adding songs back and it was working as i was doing 5-6songs at a time in hopes of not freezing it by adding to many songs at once. I got to the "S"'s and it immediately froze my computer and deleted all my songs off my iPod again. So starting over,i decided to add 2-3 songs this time and once again when i got to the "S"'s my iPod froze and deleted all my songs off my iPod. This happened about 8-9 times at that point i had enough.
I got into contact with Apple support tech and through the phone we went through the steps of uninstalling each component. that's when another problem occurred. for some reason i had 2 Apple Mobile Device supports. one that was from the recent update this year. and one that said it was from 11/7/2011. were that came from i dont know. i managed to safely uninstall the most recent AMD. but couldn't do the same for the older version. it kept telling me that it couldn't find the .MSI file
That's when i scoured all over the apple forums to find a remedy to this situation. from unzipping the Itunes setup,to trying to repair it. to using revo setup to get rid of this AMD that wouldn't go away. so i stumbled on a windows program called fix it. which it showed me 2 AMD even though it was only that one device from 2011 since i successfully deleted that file. fixit managed to remove both files. so i figured i was in the clear. i re-downloaded Itunes again, but the problem is STILL there. My Questions are
Is there a solution that hasn't been thought of?
Could it just be my iPod is the problem and it's time for a new one?
would a possible 3rd party iPod manager work instead?
is there a possibility to downgrade to a previous ios for my iPod?
I really dont know what else to do. Ive tried every remedy Ive seen on this forum and from what the tech's told me and even they dont have a clue what to do. unfortunately I'm over my warranty so sending it in for a new one is not an option anymore. i just want to make sure Ive done all i can before giving up and tossing this thing in the trash.I would try:
- Another cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- on another computer to help deptermine if yo have an iPod or computer problem
- If a computer problem then:
- You can either backup your data and do a fresh install of Windows
- Restore your Windows to an earlier point i in before the problem started
- Wait for an update to iTunes
Yes yo can use a program like iFunBox to manually copy music and some other things to and from the iPod and computer.

IPod Mini Problems Please Help
This is my second post of the type... no one replied to that so im hoping someone could help me.
Problems:
-Wont Update or Load Songs
-It starts loading, gets to around the 5th song (out of well over 600) and says "Ipod Update Complete, OK To Disconnect" though nothing is on the iPod.
-Occasionally wont restore to factory settings.
Okay, before you suggest the five R's, ill note that ive put several MONTHS into this, and ive tried them well over 20 times in order.
Things Tried
-5 R's Repeatedly (as noted above)
-updating on a friends computer (several times with no luck, same problems)
-requested help over the phone
-The number i called was the Apple US Help Line, which the person helped me for about an hour before he said he did not know what was up, and transfered me to the Canadian help line, where they demanded a large sum for help, which i could not pay (under 18).
-When i first noticed the problems, I sent it in (around the end of december)and problems continued upon arrival of the new mini.
I will also note that my sisters iPod Nano works perfectly fine, no problems, as well as my friends iPods adding songs from my computer.
Please please help... im currently resorting to a crappy CD player that skips for my music... and have been... its starting to break me inside.
Thank you,
MilanNatalie,
If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that do not disconnect message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select eject. Another way would be to use the safely remove hardware icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject.
If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked enable disk use, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after its finished transferring music.
For the iPod to automatically open iTunes, you have to have "open iTunes when this iPod is attached" checked.
Go to edit/preferences/iPod to do this.
If you prefer to keep the iPod set to manual transfer, look at this. In fact, the whole tutorial is a must read.

Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?
Hello,
I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
Hope this helps. -
Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.
Hi,
For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people -
I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister
From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod. -
Having a problem saving the graphics on a canvas.
I'm having a problem saving graphics on a canvas. It draws on the canvas but when another window comes up the graphics disappear. I put in a method to take the graphics on the canvas and repaint it with the graphics. But this comes up blank. So I don't know why this is happening. It is probably the paint method but I don't know why. If anyone has any ideas could you please respond because I have had this problem for ages now and it's driving me mad and I have to get this finished or I'm going to be a lot of trouble. I'll show you the code for the class I am concerned with. It is long but most of it can be disregarded. The only parts which are relevent are the paint method and where the drawline e.t.c are called which is in the mouse release

Im having several ipod syncing problems. I have an Ipod touch, 4th gen with the standard USB cable that comes with to charge it and sync it with. Today, i plugged it into my computer like normal to sync some new songs onto it from itunes. But, it started acting up. First, it kept syncing on and off, and the sync sound wouldnt stop- it wouldnt stay synced. then, later, when it finally did, not long after it said "this device does not support charging," and itunes didnt recognize my ipod anymore, so i couldnt sync my songs. is there any way i can fix this? thanks in advance.

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

When I plug in my ipod to my laptop instead of my desktop, nothing pops up to sync it. Has anone had any problems with itunes not recognizing an ipod?
Hi sarahdavis0_o,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If neither your iPod or iPhone are being recognized by iTunes when connected, I would recommend the steps in the following article.

[iPod 5G] Problems with Windows' iTunes keeping it synced.
I've been struggling to get my iPod 5G working on my windows computer. This is what happens EVERY time:
- I connect my iPod, it gives me "Cannot read the content of the iPod XXX...."
- I Restore my iPod (have also formatted it completely several times).
- the iPod shows up in iTunes and it syncs.
- I take the iPod out and i reconnect and it starts all over again and i get: "Cannot read the content of the iPod..."
Connecting the iPod to my MacBook will make it appear in iTunes and I'll be able to see the music and update it.
Things i've tried (in semi-random order, except for the last one):
- Updated the iPod (1.2.1)
- Restored the iPod about 10x
- Different USB port and different iPod connection cable
- Erased the iPod (3x): using Windows' format tool 1x and the Disk Utility in OS X 2x.
- Uninstalled iTunes, Reinstalled.
- Fresh install of Windows XP.
Could this be an iPod related problem? (it seems to work fine on my Mac)
Could this be an iTunes 7 related problem?
The iPod is brand-new, i got it after my old one had gotten a white screen that wouldn't go away. Could it be a faulty iPod they gave me?
P.S. Please don't suggest to 'just sync it with your mac' because it should work with the Windows computer that holds all my music.
Windows XP Prohi chris
the difference is:
at home i've started it and it has been running 12 hrs without touching it
outside i've used it while running through the park five times, so i started and stopped it five times without touching it otherwise (didn't change songs)
do these five times starting/stopping waste 8,5 hrs battery runtime?

IPOD CONNECTIVITY PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS XP VIA USB 2.0
Enough is enough.
I have an ipod touch and I am having difficulty connecting it to my pc via usb 2.0.
I have searched the entire web and came across many cases similar or the same as mine. It's time for apple to face the fact that there is something wrong with either the apple mobile service or the apple usb drivers or the itunes software that causes connectivity problems with win xp.
For the record my case is this:
I got my itouch 3 days ago. I installed itunes 8.0. Then I plugged in my ipod to a usb extension cable port connected to a usb at the back of my desktop computer. At first I got the "this usb device can perform faster if you plug it to a usb 2.0 port etc." message. So I did. I removed the extension cable and connected it directly to one of the usb ports at the back. The first time it synchronized, it seemed fine. So I decided before I do anything with it, to update it to the 2.1 version. I made my account and bought (very bad policy there apple, it should be free or at least cheeper than 8 euro) the 2.1 update. I clicked to update the i-touch. While it was updating it crashed during the restore process (because it was disconnected but I didn't know that at the time). I unplugged it, resetted and plugged it back and managed to continue the restoring process until it was updated. After figuring out itunes I chose the "manage files manually option", kept everything unchecked in the sync options except the applications. I noticed there were random disconnections here and there but I didn't pay much attention because they weren't very frequent.
The next day I plug in the touch again and suddenly I hear that annoying "connecting-disconnecting" sound from windows while my touch kept disappearing and reappearing in itunes. Suddenly my playlists disappeared from the touch. Nothing was in the touch any more. How could that happen since i had chosen to manage my files manually instead of synchronizing? So I unplugged the touch again, restarted the touch, restarted the pc, stopped and restarted the apple mobile service, unistalled and reinstalled itunes, searched microsoft support and read many usb troubleshooting documents in the web. Nothing happened. The touch randomly keeps disconnecting from the usb. I eventually managed to put my stuff back in and keep them there.
Here's what I know:
1) There is nothing wrong with my usb ports. I don't use usb hubs, they are usb 2.0, the voltage (500mA) is correct in the device manager. Everything else works fine there.
2) The ipod touch does not support disk mode so you can't see it under "my computer" and this is not a problem.
3)There is nothing wrong with the ipod, it works perfectly.
4) This is not a usb cable physical problem.
5) The five R's are irrelevant with this situation.
Uninstalling and reinstalling itunes doesn't solve the problem, neither does hard resetting the ipod.
6) Older PC configurations seem to be more affected by this but it doesn't have to do with unsupported specific chipsets.
Here's what needs investigating:
1) There may be a problem with the apple mobile service running on win XP.
2) There may be a problem with the apple usb driver and win XP or older motherboards.
3) There may be a 2.1 firmware issue with usb 2.0 connectivity.
Workaround so you don't go nuts:
Use USB 1.1 instead of 2.0. It is A LOT slower but it keeps the connection stable and you can work with the ipod. Just start copying and go do something else for the next hour. So far it works for me.
This is a serious issue that needs immediate attention. I've stumbled across forum discussions dating to 2005 with this problem (with older ipods of course).I think this needs to be put down to the eternal PC/Mac argument. Apple dont want to fix this as they want everyone to buy a Mac. Its a business, understandable, but in turning away PC buyers they alienate a huge percentage of the market.
Now, I had my first iTouch stolen. It synced, for the most part, very well, just occasionally it removed settings and music, but ticking boxes each time I sync'd sorted that, Its a workflow procedure.
SO, now that my Touch has been replaced, iTunes cannot see it. The PC can identify it on USB1 or USB2, My work lap top can see it and has indeed upgraded it to V2 software, just in case that was the issue, but no. For some really weird reason Itunes on my desktop cannot see the new pod.
This does not make sense with the argument that Apple software doesnt work on a PC, but doesnt help that none of the Apple support staff, phone or in-store have a clue about Windows operations.
Because my Touch has now been trying to connect to 6 separate installs of itunes, multiple USB ports, multiple USB cables, a complete overhaul of the registry settings (everything else still works), and the loss of all my previous settings and backups from the last Touch... but still, the PC says its an ipod but cant install it, iTunes sits there, dumb.
The only thing I can do now is sell the device as brand new as it has never had music on it and is just a week old...
It has changed the MiniMac I was going to have for my new flat screen TV into a PC and suggests that anyone with a PC should stick to devices that run on PC, of which there are many, just without the user interface of the dear departed IPod Touch.

Another ipod connection problem.
I've had my ipod for quite a few months now and it started off with no problems connecting to my PC and downloading songs to the ipod from the PC.
However, it seems that evertime i try to update songs it gradually got more and more problematic, it started of with me having the connect the ipod several times before it was recognised by itunes (it has though always been recognised as connected to my PC via my computer etc.) I've always been able to work around these problems but now I seem to have struck a brick wall.
I connect the ipod to my PC through the ipod USB cable and nearly immediately the ipod is recognised by the PC as being connected, however itunes does not recognise that the ipod is connected. After roughly 5-10 minutes after connection i get a box saying itunes needs to be updated and do i want to do it. It then leads to a box with a picture of an ipod and 2 buttons, "update" and "restore". Both buttons are greyed out and a message saying "initialising..." stays towards the top of the box, I have waiting roughly 20mins for this to change but it remains static.
This is however as far as I have gotten as the box seems to hang as I get a "not responding" message from it if i look in taskmanager.
I am using itunes version 6.2.0 and ipod software 2006-01-10 and the problem repeats itself after reformatting the ipod and reinstalling the itunes and ipod software.
I would be most grateful if anyone could help as it seems the only option i have left is to take it back to the store i bought it from.
Thanks in advance.Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves that error.
