I have upgraded my itunes to 12.4 on my windows xp service pk system and it doesn't recognize my ipod half of the time and won't sync it! What can I do about this?

I have upgraded my itunes to 1.4 on my windows xp service pk 3 system and now it won't recognize my ipod and let me sync it half of the time.  What can I do about this?

It's not a "Reset" (except for the Reset of the iPod and possibly powering off the computer).  It's meant to be a test to see if there might be interference between connected USB devices, or if the total power draw of all connected USB devices is too high for your computer's USB bus.  If it always works when the iPod is the only connected device, but only sometimes works when you connect it with other devices, it may be one of those issues.  When it works, the set of connected (or active) devices is OK. 
If this is the case, you can go through a process of elimination to determine which device or combination of (active) devices causes the problem.  NOTE:  If one of your devices is an external hard drive that gets power from the USB port, power draw may be higher if it is currently active (spinning).  Also, the power draw of the iPod may be higher when it is charging its battery and/or syncing.
Or are saying that the connected USB devices does not seem to matter, but doing a computer shut down always makes the iPod connect immediately after startup, but then the problem returns later?

  • ITunes and my iPhone won't sync.  What can I do with this software issue?

    I have a PowerBook G4 running OSX 10.5.8 and I have iTunes 10.  I also have an iPhone 4.  I recently upgraded to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4, I then plugged my iPhone up to iTunes to sync.  Now iTunes is telling me due to the upgrade of the iOS, it will not recognize the device.  I would have to upgrade to iTunes 11.  Easier said than done, right?  But the system requirements to run iTunes 11 is at least running OSX 10.6 or later.  This sounds great but i think my PowerBook G4 cannot hold or run 10.6, iTunes 11 cannot run without the OSX of 10.6 or later, and my iPhone 4 cannot be recognized by iTunes since the iOS's too new.  but can't upgrade iTunes to 11.  What can I do to resolve this communication/software issue without purchasing out the wah-zoo?

  • What can I do about this: After upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error. TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined???

    What can I do about this:
    After upgrading to firefox 6, I get this error.
    When I click to open Firefox, A box open with the following error:
    JAVASCRIPT Application
    TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined?
    After I click close on the box, then Firefox will start. I really just want to get the error fixed so that when I want firefox open, I don't have to see this box anymore.

    You need to figure out which add-on is causing that error and disable it until the developer of that add-on fixes it. There may be an error message about that in the Error Console, accessed through the Web Developer menu item or through {Ctrl + Shft + J}.

  • I have a Nvidia Galaxy GT 610. The driver keeps failing, what can I do about this?

    I have an Nvidia Galaxy GT 610, and the driver keep's failing on me. What can I do about this, I have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled the driver, and I keep getting the same thing. I am at the point where I am going to buy an other card. So if any one can help, that would be great.   Peter. 

    Hey ,The best thing to do would be to take it in to you nearest Best Buy and have the Geek Squad take a look at it. Obviously getting yours to work the way it is supposed to is the best option but if they can't, at least you can get or order a replacement easily.  There wouldn't be any charge just to have them look at it and if there was work that they could do to get it going they could tell you what it would run you before doing anything.

    Same problem as well as the network failure. Apple Care was suggesting a full reinstall and I declined. I thought it worked once but I can't be sure ... it might have been Skype which works perfectly.

    Do not worry. Hold Sleep (the button you have at the top of the phone) and Home buttons at the same time until your phone restarts, and then try installing the iOS update again.

  • I forgot my passcode on my iPad and it was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this?

    I have forgotten my passcode on my iPad. It was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this and if it at all possible without losing everything that was on it. Thanks for the help.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    You may have to do this several times.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Try removing said card then re-enter all card details, if still no joy then try a different card to see if it is the card or a problem with your iTunes account, one other thing that you could try is changing your iTunes password as this sometimes cure thing as well.
    Also have a look at your purchase history to see if you have any items that are still waiting for payment as this can sometimes screw up your payment method, if this is the case then I would defiantly try a different card.
    If none of the above work then I would contact iTunes support.
