I can't update my ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server"(despite internet connection being fine). Also, when I try and update software it starts then stops after 2 seconds

I can't update my Ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server" despite internet connection being fine. When I receive a software update message;I say install and it starts updating then stops after 2 seconds. Help! (It is a 3rd gen IPod touch(I think)). Presumably as a result of this, I have tried to put my library onto my gf's new iPod touch and it just charges it..doesn't download my library onto the touch).

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

    iPod shuffle snyc starts then stops after 2 seconds

    If there is nothing new to automatically sync to the shuffle from your iTunes library, the sync probably lasts about two seconds...
    What are expecting the iTunes and the shuffle to do, when click the Sync button?

  • Time Machine start then stop after few seconds

    Hi,

  • Web based videos (youtube etc) have no sound and then stops after 4 seconds

    When i try to play a video clip from any web site, the video plays with no sound for exactly 4 seconds, then it stops.
    I can 'scroll' the time line anywhere, and the video plays from that point for another 4 seconds -still without sound.
    Ive tried to upgrade to the lates version of flash player, and no difference.
    This aplies to all web based videos that uses a flash based video player.
    I'm using the Linux version of flash player on a Acer laptop with intel CPU and graphics, the computer runs Kubuntu Linux V11.10 Oneiric Ocelot kernel version 3.0.0-12
    Any ideas?

    Hi sorry for the delay in responding.
    I'm not using any client side code as far as I am aware.
    I think I should have said: Flash CS3 video Encoder, as I am
    running both Production Premium Creative Suite 3, and also CS3 Web
    Premium.
    All I did was convert some AVI files that went through
    Premiere Pro CS3 and After Affects etc, in Flash Video Encoder. I'm
    not doing any live streaming.
    THe FLVplackcomponent is the one generated in Dreamweaver
    CS3, I choose Insert / Flash Video and choose the Streaming
    options, I fill out the rtmp details ( I have another thread on an
    issue there as a firewall blocks some of the files and I cannot use
    rtmpt) and it works!!
    If you have a suggestion for a better workflow or precedure I
    would appreciate it.
    It is just this one FLV file that seems to do this. I have
    since chnaged this one file to Progressive and it plays fine.
    I hope this helps.
    These files are then placed in the applications folder in
    Flash Media Server 2.0 directory.
    This works fine

  • Satellite A110-180 - Fan starts but stops after few seconds

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A110-180 and when I turn on the computer the fan starts running but it stops in a few seconds and starts again in a while and stops again and starts..... Then the laptop gets heat quickly.
    I bought the laptop around 5 years ago so I think that the problem is either the fan or the circuit that controls the fan. Can someone that has had the same problem make me sure that the fan is the problem?
    The part number of the fan is ATZHG000500. Does anybody know if a fan with P/N ATZHG000100 is compatible with my laptop or if I can use other fan?
    Thanks for your help,

    Hi Boarder,
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    I already cleaned the fan 3 days ago because I thought that perhaps that was the reason of the fan running. I installed a program to control the hard drive and CPUs temperature and at the beginning when I turn on the laptop in the morning the temperature is ok, but when I look an email and surf by internet a little bit for 10 min the temperature increase in 10º or more in CPU and hard drive, and the fan is still running in the same way that I commented (in a discontinuous way). So I don't think that it's normal at least theoretically. I also have another laptop and the fan is running all the time.
    I'll check about the thermal grease to see if the condition are fine.

  • Firefox says it can not find the server (Windows Internet Exployer works fine

    When I try to connect to Firefox,I get the message can not find server.(All my hardwired computers,to Dsl).When we try Windows Internet Exployer it works fine.That is what I am using to send this message.

    Not sure of your answers: is the problem solved (as marked) or not.
    Did you go through the solution for the Firewall that you use.
    :http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
    When you say it works okay on new browser do you mean IE or do you mean if you reinstall Firefox. As far as I know it is the Firefox updates that get are mostly affected. What Firewall do you have.

  • IPod Classic Starts to Sync But Stops After 5 Seconds

    I'd appreciate help with this...
    Two days ago, my iPod Classic stopped syncing.  I don't think this is the situation where the device is not recognized.  When I connect with the USB, the iPod appears in iTunes and it starts to sync but then stops after about 5 seconds. I have the latest iTunes (11.0.5) and iPod software; I re-set the iPod; and I ran a check for errors on the iPod, but it came back clean; I can't erase the latest backup in Properties because it's empty. 
    Here's what I don't understand - I ran a diagnostic on the connection but it was ok; when I ran a diagnostic on sync, it said no iPod was found -- even though I had the same connection when I ran the diagnostic a few seconds earlier.  I know that the iPod is recognized because I can drag podcasts onto the iPod when it's connected.
    Any ideas?  I'd rather not have to reinstall iTunes.

    Hi,
    I had a similar problem, all you can do at present to rectify this is to grab your playlist or new created playlist or song from the main library or playlist and drop it into the ipod tab under devices and it will auto sync the changes or songs. Hope this helps.
    There seems to be a problem with the syncing of itunes 11 (mine is 11.0.5) when you just use the normal sync method. the above should work and has worked for me when transfering a playlist straight into the ipod it automatically syncs.
    Regards.
    Nick

  • When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, it begins to play but stops after 5 seconds

    When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, its begins to play but stops after 5 seconds instead of the normal 30 seconds.

    I posted this to another thread here:
    "I am having the same issue with the preview songs cutting off around the 5 to 7 second mark. It started about 3 weeks ago right after I downloaded an album.
    It downloaded but at the end said the download failed due to a network timeout error. I clicked out of the error dialogue box and checked my "Purchased" items folder and it did seem there was a problem, no songs were there only a placeholder of the album cover (or something of that nature). Nothing happened when I clicked on it. However, when I closed and then restarted itunes the entire album was there and there have been no problems with those songs.
    Some here are saying they believe they previews cutting off have something to do with the 10.6 upgrade, however I still have 10.5.1.42 and have the problem.
    I am running up-to-date Windows 7 Professional with Viper Anti-virus. I don't for a moment think it has anything to do with windows updates, anti-virus or any other 'windows' issues. I believe it is within itunes in its' preview player software.
    Dear iTunes, if this thread is being monitored by a rep, please be aware that if I cannot preview more than 5-7 seconds of a song you can rest assured I will not be purchasing any further music through itunes until this issue is resolved and will be taking my business elsewhere in the interim."
    I use the ipconfig/flushdns all the time to resolve browser issues, especially when using Twitter. It does not help this particular problem for me.
