I have to WIPE iPod every time I add music to iTunes!
Hi. I seem to have everyone's problem at once.
I've just upgraded to an 80Gb Video iPod after filling up my old 20Gb click-wheel model, which still works as wonderfully as the day I bought it over 4 years ago. My new model is, however, driving me crazy! On first plugging it in, I got the Unknown error -48 that others have described, and was told that I couldn't sync. I updated, I restored, I synced again. Fine - the music was there even though iTunes was still telling me that I had the -48 error. However, every time I add a CD to my iTunes collection and then plug in my iPod, I find that the music is not added. What's more, I'm told that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library and that if I want to sync with this one it will erase all data and start over - this takes several hours and is totally unacceptable.
I also get the flashing 'do not disconnect' sign permanently whenever connected, even if there's nothing being transferred.
Weirdly, if I click on the iPod in my 'Devices' list in iTunes, I find all the menu options changed and grayed out. If I try and select, say, 'sync music' or 'sync movies' I get a message asking me if I really want to do that, since "all existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with the contents of your iTunes Library".
I'm a humble Apple fan who's always used Apple and is used to intuitive devices. This experience is demoralising and I'm regretting my expensive and frustrating purchase even after 1 week. Please can someone help? Do I have to send this device back to Apple?
At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for error -48. The Apple fix of erasing the iPod with Disk Utility and restoring with iTunes that is mentioned in various posts appears to work for some and not others. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a reliable fix comes along. Give it a try and it may help with the secondary problems you are also experiencing.
Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
Enable Disk Use on the iPod
Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod to update it run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me.

Does it do this with another set of earbuds? If not, does this happen with songs you ripped from CD or downloaded from elsewhere?
Since it's still under a year old, it's covered under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects. Show a Genius at the Genius Bar what you are experiencing and they'll likely swap it out for you at no cost.

IPhoto crashes every time I add music to a slideshow
I'm using iPhoto 9.5 with Mavericks.
There were some reported issues with iPhoto slideshows in 9.5. I've pasted the workaround from another thread.
(Quit iPhoto if it is open)
Launch iTunes
Click File in the upper left corner of the screen
Choose Library from the drop down menu
Choose Organize Library
Select Reorganize files in the folder “iTunes Media”
Click OK
If that doesn't fix it, maybe you could post the first 50 or so lines of the crash report here. Someone might be able to see whats happening from that. -
ITunes not adding / deleting in with iOS7: do I have to click Sync every time?
I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.4 (11B554a) and iTunes 11.1.3.8.
I am running into problems when I drag music or audiobooks from my iTunes library to my iPhone.
1. I originally dragged an audibook to my phone and it stayed "greyed out" in iTunes. The circle next to the file that indicates how much of it has downloaded to the phone did not change. This was resolved by clicking "Done" and then "Sync" in iTunes. I do not want to have to do this every time I add a file.
2. I deleted multiple audiobooks in iTunes. They no longer appear in iTunes, but they do appear on the phone. Again, the problem was resolved by clicking on Sync in iTunes.
Ultimately, I do not want to have to click Sync every single time I manage the music on my phone. It takes substantially longer than it did with iOS6.
Is there any way around this?
Many thanks!It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other. -
EVERY TIME I ADD NEW SONGS I LOSE MY OLD SONGS HOW DO I FIX THIS PROB??
every time i add new songs to my 30g ipod all of my songs that were on there b4 get deleted. how do u put new songs on there without hav to re-add all of my old songs again??
If the songs are still in your library, they shouldn't be deleted from the iPod every time you add new ones.
If you are using iTunes from version 7 onwards, then when you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
On the 'summary' page you will see the options to:
"open iTunes when this iPod is attached".
"only sync checked items".
"manually manage music".
"enable disk use". This will be automatically enabled if you have the iPod set to 'manual' and be 'greyed out'.
If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the options to:
"sync music" with either "all songs and playlists" or "selected playlists".
"display album artwork on your iPod".
Which of those do you have selected? -
My IPOD Classic Video 5. Gen. showed videos, but now it does no longer show them, instead i see a black picture on my IPOD and it doesn`t work. I have to restart it every time, i try it. i restore the software with itunes, but the problem still exists.
The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc. -
I just got this ipod for xmas of 2010. I only have 3.9 of the 6.5GB used. So I don't understand why this happens. It's the second time. The 1st
time, when I called they told me to restore it. But I don't want to have to do that EVERY time! This is a $300 product that's only less than 6 months old!
Has anyone had this issue? How did you fix it besides restoring it?My daughter has also had this issue with her 3rd Gen iPod Touch. Also when she try's to turn it off it takes 5 to 6 screan shots before turnning off.

can i sync my iPod to my home computer through home sharing or do I have to sync it every time to the home computer?
There is no such thing as "home sharing sync".
iOS devices can be synced via the cable or if running iOS5 or later via Wi-Fi.
iPods (nano's, classics) must be synced via the cable. -
As I've already mentioned, I can't connect to iTunes or the App Store, the same message appears every time: "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". I downloaded a few apps before I connected my iPad Mini to my Computer. I started doing an update that was about 9 or 10 hours long, somewhere around that time, and I unplugged it about halfway through the update and since then I've not been able to get onto iTunes or the App Store. I checked to see if I could continue the update but when I looked on iTunes again, no updates appeared. On my iPod Touch 4th Generation, everything works absolutely fine and it is logged into the same Apple ID. I've tried resetting my Network Settings, logging into someone else's Apple ID, connecting to a different Wifi, changing the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8, rebooting my Computer and iPad and changing the HTTP Proxy to Auto. Is there anything else I could try or am I just overlooking something? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here, thanks!
Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan. -
I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. I've tried every single solution I've seen, and none of them work. I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room. Can anyone help with this?

When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?
Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
// Get the icon from the b3 button
var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
// Get reference to the b0 button
var f = getField("b0");
// Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
// Show the b0 button
f.display = display.visible;
This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button. -
