How do I get my 4th gen iPod to synch more than a handful of songs?

I have a 4th gen iPod clickwheel (20GB). At one point I was able to synch most of my music library onto the device. Now every time I try to synch, it will take about a third of my songs and then the battery runs out and I get the message that the iPod cannot be synched. When I charge up the iPod again, I have a total of about 10 sings on it. What's causing this? How do I fix it?

You could get a cable such as this one.

It has the dock connector on one end fro connection to the iPod and then two connectors on the other end, one for connecting to the firewire charger you use and the other to connect to the usb port on your computer to sync the iPod. You can sync and charge at the same time.
Alternatively, you could explore the possibility of installing a high speed card to your computer such as this one.

I'm not saying that is the one you need (I know nothing at all about your particular computer), I'm just using this as an example of what I mean.

    how can you connect your 4th gen ipod touch to a 3g network?

    Yu need a device like the following:
    - A MiFi or similar. They are credit-card size devices that act a wifi hotspot and then connect to a cellulare network
    - Use a smart phone that can act as a wifi hotspot to share it s cellular connection. An iPhone will also do that via bluetooth. You need to purchase a tethering plan .

  • How can I get a E3000 or E4200 to manage more than 5 devices

    How can I get a E3000 or E4200 to manage more than 5 devices? Come on Cisco, lets get real. EVERYONE has more than 5 devices to manage. The average family of 4 has 3 or 4 computers, 4 smart phones and at least a couple of tablets and maybe some TV or game consoles. Setting access control policies is a must for anyone who is a parent.
    Does anyone know of a good router that has a reasonable set of access control features? I've always loved Cisco up to this point, but I'm frustrated by this significant limitation.

    Fuggedaboutit.  Cisco apparently has retreated from the more advanced Internet Access Policy (IAP) to leave users with their paltry Parental Controls (PC) instead.  For example the E4200v1 had IAP+PC, and the E4200v2 has only PC.
    And good luck trying to find a E4200v1.  I spent the last week, ordered 3 of them from different sources, and every one of them was a V2 inside of a V1 box, even the last one I ordered directly from Linksys!
    That's a very bizarre marketing scam they're pulling there.  The sad thing is that I actually want to keep using their product line, but they are doing their best to push me away.
    I too am now regrouping and looking for a competitor who does 2 things well:
      (A) High performing dual-band wireless access point, w/ pswd-protected guest-mode
      (B) Reliable & fairly full-featured Internet access control (parental control)
    My basic requirements for "B" are:
      (1) Allow restrictions by IP or better yet MAC address (Cisco PC's hostname list didn't work for me)
      (2) Device list of at least 12 devices (obviously family size varies but Cisco's 5 is a joke)
      (3) Restricty by days of week and time of day (hourly or half-hourly would be nice)
      (4) Restrict by URL's and keywords, at least 12 per device or policy/rule
    I wonder if there's a home router whose stock OS, meets these requirements.  Otherwise I may have to look into using DD-WRT or similar.

  • How much space does the 4th gen iPod touch 8GB actually have?

    I'm considering buying the new 4th gen iPod touch but am not sure whether to get 8GB or 32GB (wish they had 16GB). My 2nd gen iPod is 8GB, but only has 6.8GB available according to the about tab. I'm down to about 500MB, and am about to import 1GB of music. I'll pick and choose for now (70% I don't listen to anyways). But does anyone know how much available space there actually is for the new 4th gen iPod touch 8GB (I know 32GB is plenty big )?
    If it's not worth it, I won't buy it, but mine is having a few problems and I would like a new one that I know is fine instead of refurbished w/ the battery needing replaced (and a camera would be nice).

    I do use it a lot for games...they tend to be larger files. My songs are whatever my dad buys and whatever I buy. Once I import this big batch of songs I will be at 700 songs and then will only add more when Dad or I buy them. I make a lot of money for a high schooler but my mom doesn't like how much I spend on iTunes (she's not into music the way I am). I don't want to have to pick and choose on which apps I have on my iPod. Songs, I can pick and choose if necessary. I just hate running low on available space.

  • How do you get the integer of a number with more than 10 digits

    I can't seem to be able to get the integer of a number with more than 10 digits.
    ex:
    integer(12345678901.3) returns -539222987 when it should really return 12345678901
    Thanks for the help
    (I'm on director 11 at the moment)

    You can write a Parent script to represent Big Integers. I wrote some code to get you started. It consist of two classes - "BigInt" and "Digit".  At this point you can only add two "BigInts" and print out the value with a toString() function. Note that you pass a String to the "BigInt" constructor.
    In the message window you could enter something like:
    x = script("BigInt").new("999999999999")
    y = script("BigInt").new("100000000000000000004")
    z = x.add(y)
    put z.toString()
    And the output window will show:
    -- "100000001000000000003"
    Here are the two Parent scripts / Classes
    -- Digit
    property  val
    property  next
    on new me, anInt
      val = anInt
      next = 0
      return me
    end new
    -- BigInt
    property  Num
    property  StringRep
    on new me, aString
      Num =  script("Digit").new(Integer(aString.char[aString.length]))
      curNum = Num
      repeat with pos = aString.length - 1 down to 1
        curNum.next = script("Digit").new(Integer(aString.char[pos]))
        curNum = curNum.next
      end repeat
      return me
    end new
    on add me ,  Num2
      curNum = Num
      curNum2 = Num2.Num
      result = curNum.val + curNum2.val
      if result > 9 then
        carry = 1
      else
        carry = 0
      end if
      result = result mod 10
      sum = script("Digit").new(result)
      curSum = sum
      curNum = curNum.next

  • Restored 4th Gen Ipod, now itunes won't sync all my songs, what to do?

    I was having trouble with my ipod, so I restored. Now all the songs on my itunes won't sync down to my pod. It took like 20 songs out of 2000. How do I fix this?

    replying to aissy55
    It comes up with a 1428 error message sometimes, and sometimes it says that I have to restore my iPod. I have restored it many times, but it just keeps going in a circle and will not sync my songs back to the iPod.
    hmmmm. if you're relentlessly getting a recovery mode message, then you might be having a Windows drive letter confusion. see the following document for troubleshooting suggestions with that:

    Also, if yougo to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and hover the mouse pointer over the iPod backup the SN will pop up in a box.
    Apple will not help locate or block your iPod.  Change the passwords for all accounbts used on the iPod and report it to the police.  The SN will only help identify your iPod if it is fond.  Se:

  • How do I get my 5th gen. iPod touch running iOS 7.1.1 out of recovery mode?

    One day I woke up and I found my iPod on the floor. I forgot to plug it in so I thought it died, but decided to test and see. When I tried to turn it on, the Apple logo went away and displayed the connect to iTunes screen. I connected it to iTunes and clicked restore. After a few minutes, there was an error message saying that iTunes couldn't restore the iPod and the error code was 21. Have any ideas on how to get it out of recovery mode? I'm desperate and my iPhone and/or iPad won't hold my 3,500+ songs. I miss my music. Thanks for the support! :)

    Not good
    Check for hardware issues

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • How do you get my 7th gen iPod Nano to work with Windows 8?

    My iPod gives me the "iPod cannot be identified" error message when I plug it into my Windows 8 machine.  I have tried literally all of the troubleshooting steps on the website.  It works on previous versions of Windows.  Anyone else have this problem?  How do you fix it?

    Ok, I've downloaded the drivers as suggested.but still not printing as it should.
    It's now printing one page as opposed to many, but it still has the jargon on top of the page as depicted in my original post?
    From this info you advised, it does suggest, does it not, that the HP Laser Jet 6p is supported.
    Meanwhile, any other advice.

  • How can I get my 3rd gen IPOD Touch w/OS 6 to print to my AirPrint enabled Canon MX432 printer?

    I can't print from my IPOD Touch to my Canon 432 AirPrint enabled printer. Printer is wireless and works well with 2 desk top computers. Printer can be seen by my wife's IPhone.  IPod OS is 6.0. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm assuming OS upgrades have disabled AirPrint functions.

    Have you tried the troubleshooting included here:

    Are you sue you have a 3G (no cameras) iPod with iOS 6? A 3G can only go to 5.1.1 unless jailbroken. Jailbreaking frequently causes problems

  • How could I get the pdf-file output to contain more than one page from certain homepages

    I have been using Firefox for many years now. I like this browser better than Safari. However. I have a problem when I have connected to a homepage over the web and want to write the content out to a pfd-file. The pdf-file does sometimes contain only one page. The material is good enough for two or more pages of output. I have checked that using Safari browser. I´d like to continue using Firefox so please tell med what to do!

  • My 4th gen Ipod touch won't power up but is recognized by itunes and is in recovery mode! What can I do/

    I can't get my 4th gen ipod touch to turn on but itunes see's it and is in recovery mode. I can hear the beep beep when I plug it in to the usb port. I have also charged it for 3 hrs so far but won't fire up. I tried the customery hold the home and power button routine but don't know what else to do. I tried recovery mode but the itunes say's"waiting for the ipod" and I guess cause it's not on it won't recover. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance to all who reply!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do I get FaceTime on my iPod 4th gen I have done a update but still don't have it any ideas

    How do I get FaceTime on my iPod 4th generation I have done a up date but its still not there can anyone help please

    Assuming you sync your iPod Touch to iTunes on your personal computer, you can do a few tricks via iTunes.
    Download the podcasts to iTunes on your personal computer.
    Move them into a Playlist.
    Select all the podcasts in the Playlist and Get Info (Command-I)
    You will get a dialog with an "Options" tab.
    Under Options change the "Media Kind" from "Podcast" to "Music"
    Now in iTunes, arrange to sync that playlist to your iPod Touch.
    After you sync with iTunes, you will have a playlist on your iPod Touch that is your podcasts that can be played just like a music playlist, one podcast after another will be played in the order they are arranged in the playlist.
    NOTE:  If you DO NOT normally sync with iTunes on your personal computer, then be aware that the first sync generally erases the stuff on your iPod Touch, so do not do this without thinking about it.
    NOTE 2: When you change the podcast Media Kind to "Music" the podcast will move from the iTunes "Podcast" list to the "Music" list.  When it is time to refresh the playlist with new podcasts, it is best to reverse the Media Kind back to Podcast so the old podcasts are not now sitting in your iTunes Music section.
    Yes this is a pain to do, but it is also a way to get a random selection of podcasts to play one after another without your needing to mess with your iPod Touch.  Very good for long driving trips where you cannot take your hands off the wheel to mess with your iPod Touch.
