Help with the ipod

I've had my ipod for over a year and recently it started having this problem. It will start up and hang on the first song and take a great amount of time before it responds. But from then it will work fine if you forward to the next track and go back. It also on occassion if you forward to the next track it will start continuiously skip songs without playing them until I stop it. Anyone know what's wrong?

Have you tried restoring the iPod?

hi badgirl!
when i click on it to start it it brings up the license agreement and then it disappears and itunes never starts.
gaaah. do you also see a similar sort of thing happen when you try to launch your QuickTime? (a brief flash of the screen, but then nothing?) are you getting absolutely no error messages whatsoever, just the flash and then nothing?
the most likely cause of those symptoms is infestation of your PC by Qoologic adware. the free trial version of Ewido has been cleaning that up for most people:

Need help with the ipod

so i got this ipod and its all ready been like set up and stuff and it was working but i tried to restore it, and the battery had died now it just show's the apple sign but t doesnt come on the full way ? what do i have to do to fix it .

- I would first charge it for at least in hour and then try to reset the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next I would also charge it for at least an hur and then place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

I need help with the iPod Touch!! Model MA623C

Can someone tell me if I am able to download apps and games to my iPod Touch, old version of it. I tried to download a game but it did not show up. I tried looking online but didn't find any answers......could you please help?

upgrade to 2.1, it is SOOO unfortunately worth it. Mine is 1st gen MA623LL. Those games and apps you've downloaded from the store will show up on your next full sync, even though you'll lose available disc space. I'd make sure your touch has 300meg free before attempting the upgrade. Please post your current version, the version upgraded to, and the ammount of space sacrificed.
Thank you.

any thoughts anyone??

Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

My iPod no longer appears as folder/file in Itunes when connected. Library, genius, playlists, etc. are present, but there is no longer cross reference with the iPod itself. Help!?

I just tried it again and this time a different message showed up "The iPod 'name' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." I have no clue what folder it could be talking about.

Software required to communicate with the ipod is not working error, help!!

I've had my iPod nano for a while now, and it was working fine until I installed the new iTunes. Now, when I plug my nano in, iTunes won't start. Then, I open up iTunes, and it says "The software required to communicate with the iPod is not properly installed. Please re-install iTunes so you can re-install the iPod updater" or something like that. I've researched this problem, and found other things such as:

When I saw what Markinmadison told me to do, I got to the registry editor, and tried to change the permissions and tried to delete the iPodService.iPpod Manager, but it would say "Cannot delete iPodService.iPpod Manager. Error while deleting key"
I have tried everything possible, and nothing has still helped. I would really appreciate help on this one.
Thanks!

to add, as I think this could be important and ive only just realised this, after running itunes diagnostics, it tells me that itunes helper is not running (but i checked and it seems it is) and no ipod is found (although as mentioned Windows recognises the drive).
It also tell me that the most recent ipod connected was the ipod that I had before.

My ipod won't sync. keeps coming up with error message saying ' itunes could not back up ipod because a session could not be started with the ipod' help?

My ipod won't sync to my itunes. Keeps coming up with the error message 'itunes can not back up the ipod because a session could not be started with the ipod? it has been coming up with this message for the lst 2 weeks now. Will let me charge it but won't let me sync anything. Really not sure what to do or where to start or anything!

Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
download iTunes again from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.
Windows is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.

I get a message: "Itunes could not back up the Ipod, because a session could not be started with the Ipod." What can I do? I cant put any videos into it. HELP!

I get a message when downloading video to the Ip[od: "I tunes could not back up the Ipod, because a session could not be started with the Ipod." What does this mean? What can I do? I cant put in any video. HELP!

I get these issues too, Even with a restore?
I work around it, (and would appreciate feedback on if this works for everyone) by :
Right clicking device in iTunes and selecting "backup", I then get the error; I quickly "ok" the error, then select "backup" again, then I often get the error a second time, but on the third attempt (in very quick succession) of selecting backup, the task initiates, and completes successfully!
Exactly the same for a restore!
Did this work for you?

HT1329 hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to get my music from my ipod to i tunes so that i can be able to transfer the music on my i tunes to my ipad mini can you help me with that ?

hi i need help with my ipod nano i want to transfer my music from the ipod to the itunes so that i can be able to transfer the music to my ipad can you help me with that ?

You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like"iPod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library, and then sync your iPad.

Get a replacement cable. If still under warranty, Apple will replace the cable.

When you reinstalled, did you just uninstall iTunes, then download it from apple.com/itunes/download?

I am Offically done with the IPOD... 3rd Dead Ipod.. HELP

It is amazing that this piece of hardware, something that is not cheap by any standards, can be so faulty and problematic. Two days ago my IPod died unexplainably. At least I think. I was having trouble mounting it and what not so I decided to restore it and after that i got the dreaded folder icon. I tried and tried to restore to no avail. I took it to the apple store and in that time span it completely died, wouldnt respond to a charge or a computer. Dead as a door nail. The "genius" told me that basically I was "S.O.L" and directed me to a 3rd party. Im not going to pay for something that I have replaced twice. This Ipod was only 4 months old but it was a replacement for thelast one that I got that had battery issues and the one before this, a 1st gen, had the hard drive fail. I dont get this product. 300 dollars down the drain. Unless someone knows a cheap, effective way to fix this problem I may be done with the Ipod line. Thank you for listening to this rant.

To Lyssa:
In response to your request for a link, about wall charging an iPod and damage to the iPod, if the wall charger is not unplugged first, here it is:
http://www.vsa.cape.com/~danh/ipod.htm
It's about 3/4 the way down the page, in the Charging fact and Fiction section, forth fact. Here's a quote:
Fiction: Be sure to unplug after four hours on charge. At that point the battery starts running down because the charger shuts off.
Fact: The iPod stops charging once the battery is full. But there is no need to take it off the charger right away. In fact, the only mandatory reasons to disconnect are to take the iPod with you, or to make sure the battery gets some exercise. A recent post suggests, however, that if you turn off AC power to the charger but leave it hooked up, it could drain the iPod's battery. I have not tried this. By the way, best practice is to plug the iPod into the cable (or dock) and the cable into the charger, then plug the charger into the wall. We have two documented cases of problems caused by the surge when you do it the other way around. After charging, always unplug from the wall first.
As far a head phones, I avoid any that have a 1/4 jack that needs a mini jack adaptor. Any head phones that come with a mini jack are fine.
