Im trying to sync my ipod but all it does is sync for an hour and then times out how do i fix this

I keep trying to sync my ipod because i have songs i put on there from cds that arent working they have a square with a circle around it and i cant play them so when i try to sync it it syncs and syncs forever and then finally says it cant be synced because my ipod timed out. If anybody has any ideas that can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Hi lepyykko,
If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right? The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer. Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.
Are you seeing any error messages when you try to install iTunes for Windows?

The movie is from iTunes. You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case.

Is it possible to stop the system time outs on my imac ,i have tried 5 times in the last 24 hrs.each time it will go for maybe 3hrs and then times out.each time i have to start the download all over again,thanks,

is it possible to stop the system time out on my imac? i have tried 5 times in the last 24 hrs.it will run for approx.3hrs,and then times out and i have to start
from the beggining again

What is the url of the file your are downloading?
What web browser are you using?
What type of connection do you have to your isp? phone line, dsl, cable, fios...
Try iCab. It lets you restart a download.

My ipod nano 7th gen. won't save the changes I make to a song's start and stop time. How do I fix this?

So I have a few songs that I don't like the intro to or the end of it that I had cut to where I wanted on my previous ipod. When I try to do the ame thing with this one with the start and stop time, it will work for awhile and then randomly start and stop where it had originally. I have done it like 4 times now for some songs and I can't seem to get it to stick. Suggestions?

If you use the Sync feature in iTunes, then it needs to be done to the song in your Music Library, then synced with the iPod. If you do not use the Sync feature and are performing the changes to the song on your iPod specifically, then the setting may be getting overwritten when you drag the song that's already on the iPod back onto the iPod. It will overwrite all local settings for the song on the iPod with the settings in your library.
Try performing the changes to the song in your music library, and then dragging it back over to your ipod (or Sync your iPod if you use that feature). This will make sure that the setting are consistent in both your library and iPod in-case you were to ever overwrite the song once more.

HT1338 when updating OS X on brand new mac book pro 13 Retina, all it does is wait for several hours and I can not turn it off

Brand new and update showed up for the OS X. sected update and all it does is say wait for hours. It will not let me turn off the mac because the application loader keeps cancelling the request to either turn off or restart. Help

Hi again,
I have lost count of the number of posts here, in addition to my direct experience with my clients, where FileVault is discovered to be the main cause of whatever symptoms are being experienced. I refuse to turn it on on any of my systems and will always, always advise against turning it on to anyone who asks me.
I would recommend that you initially back up all your data to external media (either external hd or DVD-R) and then attempt to turn off FileVault. I purposely used the word attempt because, more often than not, even this can cause issues. If you are unable to turn FileVault off, indeed even if successful, I would recommend that you carry out an Erase and Install using your MacBook Pro's system disks.
In short, my message is ---- stay away from FileVault.
If you require to protect your files then the best way to achieve this is via Disk Utility and creating an encryted image. More details here:

I installed my credit card and it asks me for my security code. I typed it but it tells me to write a valid one and it is. How can I fix this?

please help me

I had this same problem too, it's a little embarrassing, but make sure your credit or debit card has more than $3.00-$5.00 in the account or left in your line of credit,(ex. Make sure you haven't maxed out the credit card) if not iTunes will not accept the card at all, if this doesn't work, check with your bank to make sure that the address you have set up with them and the address you have setup in your iTunes account match, otherwise that will cause an issue with the security code as well !!!

I have subscribed to several podcasts, but they have recently stopped updating when I try and refresh them. How do i fix this?

Updating Podcasts

Well, in the end I contacted Apple and it was rather hit and miss but the problem was solved by deleteing the com.apple.mail.savedState file. It took them a bit of time to sort it out and I had to be promoted up the chain of support but it worked. Hope this is of use to others with the same problem,

HT201363 i tried to answer my security questions too many times and got locked out. how can i fix this?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync it to one library. I want to sync it to the previous library but how do I get it to go there?

I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync to one library. I want to sync it to the original library bc that is the one that has all songs. It keeps giving me a library with just songs that I have bought on itunes. I never created a new library so I am not sure why it is doing this. How do I get it to sync to my original library? I have already tried to restore a previous version of itunes but that did not help.

It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files. It happens sometimes. To recovery:
- Import the old music into the current iTunes library
- Make sure all the apps are also in the library
- If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
- After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes.
- Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

Hi
Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference?

HT204380 I have done all the above. I am in Germany using an iPad 2, trying to call an iPad 2 in the UK. My IPad goes through the call and then times out. I have been on the phone to the receiver at the time so know they had their iPad on.

What do you mean that you can't "call" an iPad in the UK?? That doesn't particularly make sense. You can email to an iPad or text them, but the iPad is not a phone, so how do you expect to "call" them??
Hope this helps

My recommendation is to restart the iPhone. All you do is hold down the top button and hold down the home button for 5 seconds untill it automatically shuts down. Then click the top button untill you see a grey apple on your screen.
