ITunes 10.5.1.42 not working and ejecting iPod on it's own!

Recently, I downloaded the latest iTunes, I plugged in my iPod (I have an 7g 160gb one) and the first thing I noticed, was that it stuck in verifyng, so, I unninstalled the software, reinstalled, and it was working fine, but two days after that, it went right to the syncing and at any given time it will tell me "The song could not be synced to the ipod because of an unkown error -50/-69" iTunes also updated on my netbook, and now it's giving me the same issue. The iPod just sort of ejects on its own, because the battery meter on screer will turn on and of as if it were connecting/disconnecting. And it was working really fine till the latest update of iTunes 10.5.1.42. What can I do?

NEVERMIND! I found it out myself.

MBP 15" Penryn - 2.5 Most commercial DVDs not read and ejected

Hi,
The one week old thing seems to refuse most DVDs. Sometimes, a previously rejected DVD will be read but not always. Please excuse me but I did not attempt to test all the functionality of the drive. I tried to repair permissions to no avail. Details of the culprit below. Any idea?
Thanks

well, the ejecting happens when the region code of the dvd is not correct. Try inserting your own DVDs or blanks and see if it still ejects.

HAL is not automounting

I have hal in my daemons array in rc.conf and it starts up properly but when I connect a device to my system, HAL does not automount it. what is the problem?

But it does not mount anything for you. The mounting is under your Desktop Environment responsibility. You have to enable the "automount" functionality in the Desktop Environment you use.
As long as I do not know E17 I cannot help you.
Did you search for "E17 automounting" with you favorite web search engine ? In this forum ?
I solved it with autofs, it isn't much elegant but it works to some degree. So i'll make this my goal for the time, i have more free time.

Xmas Nano not recognized by iTunes and ejecting crashes iMac HARD!

I hooked up my new 8Gb Nano and was notified I had to upgrade iTunes. Did that. Then a dialog box popped up telling me the Nano was not recognized and advising to disconnect and reconnect it. After doing this a half dozen times it was finally recognized. Tried to sync with iTunes and it froze on selection #19. Had to FORCE QUIT iTunes. As the Nano was telling me it is connected and needs to be ejected I did that in FINDER and the iMac had a hard crash. Had to force a power-down. I went through this absurdity 5 times with iTunes starting a sync at #19 then after deleting #19, it froze at selection #11, deleted that and it froze at #1. After each freeze and my tying to eject the Nano and getting 5 hard crashes I finally went to bed!
Today I trashed iTunes, downloaded it again and hooked up nano. Nothing. It was not recognized by iTunes but showed up in FINDER and the DESKTOP. Quit iTunes. I ignored ejecting it, disconnected it. Started iTunes again connected the Nano and got the spinning color wheel for about ten minutes. While I searched the net for solutions it finally stopped spinning but, the Nano is not listed in iTunes! It shows up on the desktop and in finder and the Nano is telling me it is connected and needs to be ejected. I'll try to eject it next but I'm sending this now as I've no confidence the mac won't have another hard crash!
This is pretty disappointing. I finally talked my brother in-law into abandoning the PC (as I did last year after a zillion years of PC frustration) and consider getting a new iMac. "All you have to do is hook up your Mac and it just works!!!" From what I'm seeing here and other places, the Nano/iTunes problem is not unusual, BUT I'm seeing nothing from Apple to address this issue. Is Apple becoming the next Microsoft? Who needs this crap?
Does there have to be a mass return of Nano's to get Apple's attention? I know mine goes back tomorrow!

Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

Home DVD goes in, spins, does not mount, and then ejects. It does play on an old Windows PC.

Hi. I have a MacBook and I am able to play purchased DVDs just fine. However when I try to play the home DVDs my brother burned for me on his new MacBook Pro it doesn't work. The DVD goes in, spins, does not mount, and then ejects. It plays on an old Windows PC though. Very strange. Help!

I know your frustration, so happy I still own a PC just so I can burn any DVD I might still need!
I was told at the Apple store to go buy an external l0l
How awesome is THAT ...Yah you just paid an INSANE amount of cash for a CRAP laptop so now go out and spend MORE money on getting an external DVD burner so your expensive laptop can burn/play DVD's
YAY APPLE... wtg at putting out a quality product!
PS so fantastic to see all the responses to your cry for HELP here!

I am unable to burn any info-photo ect on to a disk. I have a 27" I mac mid 2010 version. I put in a disk, hit burn, it runs for about 3 mins and ejects the disk sayiny there was an error with the drive and will not restart.

The optical drive has probably failed. It's a fairly common thing with these slim SuperDrives. Does it read any discs you put into it? You can try resetting the SMC and pram but I'll be surprised if it helps.
To reset the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

I have inserted a disc in my remote disc and it is not working and even i am trying to eject the disc but it is not working ? what to do ?

Would you rather upgrade to windows 8, BlackBerry or Android phones? Do you honestly think those don't have problems?
You waited a lot and chose to buy an early production model. Mistakes happen all the time a factory retools and workers relearn new skills necessary to keep US happy.
Exercise your rights.... Send it back for a new one.
In any case, I feel your frustration. Btw, I love Apple but use a Blackberry

CDs not recognised and automatically ejected

I have a 3 month old mac mini, yesterday I was putting CDs onto iTunes and having left a Cd in for maybe 20 mins (it went on to iTunes okay), I changed the "when you insert a CD" iTunes Preferences setting from "Import" to "Import and Eject". Immediately after that it would no longer recognise any CD and just automatically ejects them after about 20 seconds or so. I've reset the iTunes Preferences back to "Import" done the basic checks, repaired permissions, reset the SMC, but still nothing. The machine is still under warranty but my reseller informs me that it can be picked up within 5 days and then looked at and repaired, so maybe a 2 week turn around - definitely NOT acceptable!. Any help would be much appreciated.

You might try going to Apple Menu > System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and change the Music CD setting from Open in ITunes to ignore.
Probably best to quit iTunes before doing this.
Then insert a Music CD. It should show up on the desktop. Right-click on it and eject it.
Then go back to Sys Prefs' CDs & DVDs and reset Music CD back to Open iTunes.
Hopefully that will straighten things out. If not, there is probably just a "plist" file somewhere that needs to be deleted -- and some other poster will know what that is.

Volume and eject keys are not working!

Hello, i have a problem with my USB apple keyboard that come in pack with my iMac. When i turn on the computer everything is working fine but after using it for about 10 minutes my volume and eject keys stop working at all. What can you say about that? And when i disconnect and connect the keyboard from the computer it starts working again but not for a long time thought.

Hello Folks,
Got my super new 20" duo and i a having exactly the same problems. Volume keys don't work randomly, mouse stops responding and eject works most of the time but I have had problems.
Tried different usb port getting the same.
Will try another k'board and see if that makes a difference.
I have seen another post else where and the chap got a replacement from apple. His mouse wouldn't function sparadically.

Cd not reading and cannot eject

I put a cd in my imac. It did not read and does not show up on my desktop.
I have tried placing the computer in sleep mode and pressing the eject key, holding the mouse button down as I restart, restarting and holding command-opt-o-f (nothing happens, the computer starts as normal every time and I never get the firmware prompt) and opening the terminal application and pasting in /usr/bin/drutil eject.
I cannot get this CD to eject no matter what I try. Are there any other options I should explore? Or am I doing something wrong? I really need to get this CD out so I can continue my work.
Edited to Add: I also tried holding the option ket down during start up. I got the hard drive to show up, but no disk ejection.

Solved it myself! Disk Utility and then the eject button in the disk utility popped it right out!

Installer Disk Will not Quit and Will not Eject. Please Help!

I did a really stupid thing today: I tried to install Leopard on my iBook G4, not thinking/realizing that it needs more RAM than it has to be able to install it. Now, 10 hours later, the installer disk will not quit and I can find no way to eject it. I have shut down the computer several times and then restarted while holding down the mouse button, but the **** thing just starts cranking away again. At some point, I was able to pull down and choose Quit for the Installer; eventually, a thing came up giving three options: I think they were "restart" "choose startup disk" and "don't quit." I followed the directions that also appeared and clicked "choose startup disk." It has continued to chug away for the past hour after doing that. Is there any hope that I can
a. recover my poor little iBook
b. recover the Leopard Installer Disk? I sincerely hope not to have to buy another one!
Thanks.

There was another thread on this very topic recently, and many things were tried, but I don't know if anything ever worked and I was unable to find that thread.
However, here is something from the MBP forum that sounds like it might also work for an iBook:

MacBook does not read [World of Warcraft] disc and ejects it.

Everything was fine yesterday, now all of a sudden today my MacBook doesn't want to read the disc and ejects it, while there's still the small box "Insert World of Warcraft III disc."
I'm wondering what could the problem be?

Make sure the disc is real clean with no finger prints or scratches on it. Also, the laser head could be dirty. Try a cleaning disc.

Automounter and volume manager based on DevKit

Hi there,
I've written a simple automounter and volume manager based on DeviceKit:
http://www.ashrentum.net/jmcejuela/prog … 0.2.tar.gz
Some may find it interesting.
Currently it only manages media drives. I hasn't support yet for CDs/DVDs.

Hello, good job!
I was thinking of writing a patch for skvm to use DeviceKit. How does DeviceKit compare to HAL? any obvious deficiencies or whatnot? I've not looked into this at all yet. I'll look into the code to see if I can get any ideas
