I cannot sync or edit my iPod after the latest update!

After the latest iTunes update 11.2.2.5, I can no longer add new songs or playlists to my iPod! Is this a new revamp of how syncing works, or is my installation faulty?
I can no longer see the playlists on my iPod through iTunes. If I want to add a new song, one or many, or add a playlist, it asks me to remove all my songs on the iPod.
Even so, it refuses to let me add one song at a time, nor will it let me create playlists unique to my iPod. I have to create the playlist on my PC, and then sync it to my iPod. If I delete the playlist from my PC, it will also delete it from my iPod. I do have 'manually sync' turned on.

Hi Zmajev,
If you are having syncing issues after an update to iTunes 11.2.2.5, you may want to try updating to the most recent version (iTunes 11.3, which was just released yesterday) and see if the issues still persist. You may find the following article helpful:

How I "fixed" my iPod after the latest update screwed everything up

I am not sure if this will help anyone but here is what I have been through and done. I also don't know if this "fix" will last. So far it has been 24 hours and my iPod still works. To be honest I was surprised anything worked since this whole fiasco started. Good Luck!
(Please know I am not telling you to do this, just letting you know what I did and what happened. I have no idea if the slap to the hand actually did any good or if it is all just coincidence.)
After installing the latest iPod updater my iTunes would not recognize my iPod and when connected to the pc the iPod would simple flash do not disconnect. This would not stop no matter what I did. Once I removed the iPod from the pc sometimes it would go to the menu and have music on it and other times it would not have music on it. On some occasions I would get the folder with the exclamation point. I did try to reformat the drive through the pc and/or restore it through the updater but since it kept flashing do not disconnect the updater could not "mount" the iPod and the pc was never able to access the drive. At one point I was able to access the drive and reformat it but it said it could not finish the formatting. After three days of trying to do all of these steps over and over I finally put in a ticket to have it repaired by Apple.
I did reinstall iTunes to its latest update but kept the updater at the version that originally came with the iPod on the Cd.
Which leads me to the final step. I had heard that other folks had slapped the iPod against their hands and suddenly they would work again. So I figured, at this point, what do I have to lose? (Please know I am not telling you to do this, just letting you know what I did and what happened. I have no idea if the slap to the hand actually did any good or if it is all just coincidence.) I plugged the iPod in and watched it flash its message to do not disconnect, I reset it and then forced it to say do not disconnect, then quickly disconnected it. Once removed I slapped the side of the iPod against the palm of my hand. The drive did spin up and the picture which tells you to plug the iPod into the wall appeared, which I did. It showed the apple logo, a status bar ran and then went to the menu and reset itself.
I connected the iPod to the pc with the current iTunes program, old iPod updater version, with my playlists and library intact and it started to update the iPod with my library and playlists. Once finished I manually disconnected the iPod and safely removed the hardware.
So far it works fine. I used it at home and in my car. I have not tried to use the new updater again. Honestly I fear what would happen.

HT201263 I cannot get my iphone to restore after the latest update, it seems this is the "recovery loop" my phone is "dead" can someone help please

My Iphone 4s never restarted after installing the latest upgrade. I understand this is called the recovery loop. It will not restart after going through the recovery process in itunes. What do I do as the phone is completely dead to all intents and purposes. What on earth do I do???

Try and put it DFU mode and do a manual install, as outlined in the link below.

Hello, VvioletT.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing issues syncing your iOS device. Here are a couple articles that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account. As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id. How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?

After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account. As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id. How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro? There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id. How do I switch it to a newer id?

It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

After the latest update to FF13, I double click the bookmark button and the window won't open so I can edit.

When I double click the bookmark button (star) a window always drops down so I can edit the bookmark or place it into the folder I want. Now after the latest update to FF13 (june 2012) I can click once and the page is bookmarked to the "unsorted" folder, but when I double click nothing happens. 1) I restarted FF, didn't help 2) I rebooted computer, didn't help.

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. I had 5 extensions installed. I disabled all of them then restarted FF. My bookmark window started working again. Then I enabled each extension one at a time to find the culprit. It was "Compact Menu 2 version 4.3.1". It's a handy extension for me, but I can live without it till they have a version that will work for me. Thanks again.

and check the box marked
          Include Bonjour in the Bookmarks menu

After the latest update of iTunes 11.1.4 sync.of my iPhone 5 failed to sync.to mac iTunes over WiVi

After the latest update of iTunes 11.1.4 sync.of my iPhone 5 failed to sync.to mac iTunes over WiVi

I have had the same issue on 2 computers with 2 different installations. This appears to be an issue with the update. Everything was syncing great until the update. I know this because I had just synced the iphone numerous times and then I did the update. As soon as the update was complete, the phone would no longer sync over WiFi. The symptoms are exactly as you describe them.

After the latest update 10.9.2 my macbook pro wont preview pdf in safari or chrome?

After the latest update 10.9.2 on my macbook pro I cannot preview pdf in my browsers (safari and chrome), I can save the pdf and view it later though. As an example I cannot preview it in my gmail, instead of adobe little icon there is a question mark.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

I lost my purchased ringtones after the latest update.

I lost my purchased ringtones after the latest update. Not super happy!!! How do I get them back without buying them AGAIN?

Hello dorothea31,
Not sure what happened to your purchased ringtones, but you can download them again.
See this for details. It says iOS 8.1.1 but the download section still applies.

I lost artwork after the latest update?

After the latest update I lost most of my artwork but oddly not all of it. I am now trying to fix the issue and have run into a roadblock: the artwork won't take. I've tried several different approaches to adding the artwork but none of them are showing up on my iPad, though it looks like they are there on my iMac. I manually manage my music so I can't sync the stuff. When I tried deleting an album and replacing it my iTunes freaked out ("preparing to update" and a swirly mouse pointer is all I get.)
How do I fix this issue?
I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to having the artwork boxes filled so this is driving me a bit crazy... ugh.

Okay. You've mentioned an iPad and an iMac and iTunes. So what brings you to the iBook Discussions?
When posting in one of those other discussion areas, it may be helpful to include which version the OS and iTunes you're running on the Mac you're using to sync the iPad.

My Apple TV is slow and disconnects after the latest update (5.1). It seems to effect both home sharing and through the net. Is there a known problem?

Hi Scott.
There is a problem - but Apple have not acknowledged it. Many people on these forums are experiencing the same issue.
To get something done, you should report it here. The more of us that tell Apple about it, the more likely they are to fix it. You could also send a short email headed 'Apple TV update problems' to

I used to be able to attach a document to an iCal entry. After the latest update, it appears this option has been removed. How can I add an attachment now? Thanks!

Hi Dan,
Yes, iCal 4.0.4 (1395.7). In edit mode, the 'attachments' option is between 'Invitees' and 'URL' (see below). As I said this is for calendars under On My Mac, I suspect you are not seeing this as your event is on MobileMe.
Best wishes
