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 I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room.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?

  • My computer won't recognize that my phone is plugged in, so i can't transfer photos, but it shows connected to itunes.

    You have to sync your photos from iTunes , if you cannot see iphone in itunes it might be due to itunes being corrupted or the apple driver issue.
    To fix this, try the following:
    1.Uninstall iTunes completely , and Re-install the latest version of iTunes, download it from apple website
    2. Check whether its a hardware related issue , by using the phone with a different firewire
    3. if it does show up in iTunes , and still facing the issue then try restoring the iphone [setting it up as a new phone , DO NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP] and then try re-syncing 
    4. I dont think the format of the photos matter , but still try syncing different format photos [generally JPEG formats are used]

  • My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

  • I am trying to erase and reformat my old iMac, it has a 1Tb hard drive in it.  Error pops up and I noticed it is saying that the hard drive is 8Tb.How do I correct this?

    Iam trying to erase and reformat my old iMac, it has a 1Tb hard drive in it.  Error pops up and I noticed it is saying that the hard drive is 8Tb.How do I correct this?

    I found another forum that had a solution.  Instead of using the recovery discs that came with the mac, use snow leopard to perform the actions that I needed to do.  It worked.  No input/output error and the software recognized the 1Tb hard drive.

  • HT1766 I purchased two apps for my iPhone and every time I try to install them on my phone I keep getting a message saying that the file is over 50MB and I need to connect to wi-fi or use iTunes on my computer to download. How do I do that?

    I just got an iPhone 4 and have been downloading apps from the iTunes store when I encountered difficulty with two specific apps. Each time I try to download dictionary and star walk I get a message saying they are over 50MB and I need to be connected to iTunes to download, which I've tried to no avail. I also thought that when I sign into iTunes on my PC that it would automatically show that my iPhone device is connected (just like it does with my iPod) but it doesn't show the phone icon. I am not sure iTunes is recognizing my phone. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

    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.

  • Every time I start up my MacPro, I get repeated "Are You Sure You Want to Shut Down Now" messages.  It goes away after 15 - 20 Cancels, but obviously shouldn't be happening at all.

    I'm using OSX 10.6.7, though cannot swear that the issue is new to the latest update. This popup message occurs so frequently, immediately after startup, that it almost seems that every mouse click triggers it, although again I can't be sure of that. I see that there are others with similar problems but they seem to be Macbook users for the most part -- I am not in contact with the power button when this happens, nor have I spilled beer on any component!

    Try resetting the SMC by shutting down and disconnecting the power cable for at least 15 seconds.

  • I have a 32in 1080p Sony Bravia. and a early 2009 iMac 20in. i bought a mini Dvi to HDMI adaptor. And i have the HDMI cable. but every time i connect my iMac with my Tv my iMac screen turns blue then back to the desktop.

    i also click on detect displays and nothing happens.

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the TV hooked up to the MacBook and both screens working. Do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

  • Every time i open my system pref it never works and it just shows my cursor with the busy signal. and i can't do anything with it and the only way i can exit out of system pref is by going to force quit. and there it shows system pref is not responding.

    How do i fix this?

    no disk is needed.  you can dl the installation files.
    yes, if you uninstall you lose whatever you uninstalled.
    yes, you need to reinstall flash pro using the same suite.  that's the only product with which your serial number will work.

  • Restart computer every time I connect ipod

    I'm having a problem with my 30GB 5G ipod. Every time I connect it to my MacBook running Leopard it tells me that I need to restart my computer. This is an ipod that I've been using for quite a while and I've never had this problem before (it just started happening within the last day). I should also mention that I have a 2G Touch and an iphone 3G and I'm not having this problem with either one of those devices. Any idea what could be causing this and how I can fix it?

  • Shortly after launching into itunes, it freezes and I get the following message: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. How do I resolve this issue?

    Shortly after launching itunes, the program freezes and gives me the following message:A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. The program then closes, even if I have not completed what I am doing. How do I resolve this problem?

    That is what I thought. Cannot figure out how to turn it off, though.
    However, when I talked to her over the phone, she is definitely using Firefox. I tried to access her Internet Explorer, but it has been deactivated, I believe by Firefox.
    She primarily uses the Internet to communicate with her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Her e-mail account is with Yahoo Mail, and she uses Firefox to access it. Occasionally, she uses the web to look up information, and may have downloaded a virus.
    Do you think there's something in Yahoo Mail that conflicts with Firefox? Is there some remnant of Internet Explorer that needs to be deactivated? Could she have a virus?
    Any information would be gratefully appreciated. I live 7 hours away, and can only help her over the phone. I'm trying to develop a course of action that I can use with her. I know a little bit about Firefox, so need your expertise.

  • I upgraded to an iPad2 and recently pulled out my old iPad 1to re-gift to a family member. I can't remember the password I originally set up - is there a way to get beyond this?

    I upgraded to an iPad2 and recently pulled out my old iPad 1 to re-gift to a family member. I can't remember the password I originally set up - is there a way to get beyond this?  Each time I try a different password (trying any that I thought I might have originally used) it times out the tablet for up to an hour before I can try again.  Help?

    You can restore the device. That is what you have to do if you forget the passcode. You don't have to worry about syncing to your own computer either since you don't want to restore your data - you want to wipe it clean. Read these articles for more instructions

    Sometimes you may not be able to bypass the passcode at all when you try to restore. You may need to restore by putting the iPad into recovery mode. I have heard from some users that they did not have to do this when they restore after forgetting the passcode - but just in case you need the information, this will help you with that procedure.
