In a detailed list, 5 HUGE problems on my iPod. Everyone please help...

Maybe my title is really bad on explaining my situation.
I have a 1.1 USB drive, or whatever. I know for sure it is not 2.0. Windows XP Professional Edition. Windows Internet Explorer 7 Beta Version 3. Latest iTunes as of July 30, 2006. iPod software is 2006-1-10.
Here we go...
Since my USB for the iPod to computer is always in, I just have to connect the other part of the USB to the iPod. Everything works smoothly. iTunes shows up, and a window shows up with folders such as Photos, Contacts, Notes, etc. Update then begins to update my songs which I have added/changed/renamed. Everything is finished.
BUT, there are major side issues happening at the description above...
1. The folder which popped up showing Photos, Contacts, Notes, etc. disappears, and the only way if I could make it show up again is if I disconnect iPod after updating. So basically whenever I want to drag notes to iPod, I have about 15 seconds before the folder disappears. I have tried going to "My Computer" and finding the iPod drive, but to no avail I do not see it anymore, while it is still connected. I have to disconnect USB from iPod to make the folder show up again.
2. Basically almost the same thing. iPod does only ONE UPDATE. I cannot change the setting of iPod to manual update, automatic, or whatever. Automatic is the setting and I cannot change it. If you do not understand what this meant, I'll try and paint a picture for you.
I connect USB to iPod. Computer recognizes iPod. iTunes shows up and folder shows up. Update begins. Now it starts to add/edit songs I have changed since last update. So far so good. Update ends. Now I got a new song or album. I add it to iTunes library to update to iPod. I right click on iPod icon in iTunes on the left side of the window and click on "Update" for it to add the new song/s to iPod. Now, a dialogue has shown with an error logo saying,
"The iPod 'Storm's iPod' cannot be updated. The disk cannot be read from or written to."
Ummmm... What the? So now if I want to add the new songs I have added to my iPod, I have to disconnect the USB (AFTER UPDATING!) and connect it back to the iPod to add it. VERY WIERD. I always have to do this. ALWAYS.
3. If I am correct, the checkmarks beside the songs mean that the iPod WILL NOT update it and add it to your iPod.
Well...
I click on the iPod icon on the bottom right hand corner of iTunes to manually add songs/photos to iPod. I click on playlists, and songs which to add or not. iPod says it is updating. WRONG. It's as if iPod was tricking me that I actually updated it.
Same thing happens when I double click on the iPod icon in the left pane of iTunes and a window opens up. I uncheck a few songs to test if it will actually be removing it. It now says that it is now updating. Do not disconnect. Then it says iPod is finished updating. OK to disconnect. WRONG AGAIN. In my iPod, it does not say that dialogue and the "No, or stop" icon. It does not in fact remove the songs from the iPod. LOL it fooled me hard!
3. My iPod has crashed because of the recend update. GRRRRRRR I had to reformat it by following this topic. It is the fourth post by the way.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=417486&tstart=0
Because of this, my name in Settings > About is IPOD_C~1. Before when I first updated it on my computer, my name actually showed. But after the crash, this is the name for it. I tried everything to change it. Everything in iTunes to rename iPod in left pane, and in My Computer.
4. My Available is 2.5 GB, whilte it is acutally 2.34 GB. I had an update before with many songs on my 4 GB Nano, that it had 1 GB left showing on iTunes, while on 4 GB Nano it shows 2.5 GB left. Just to show you that About > Available is stuck on the number 2.5 GB.
5. "Cannot mount iPod" is shown when I open the most recent iPod updater to try and Restore iPod. Again, another pain in the arse.
Please. I really need help as these things are bugging me alot. Please I'm begging you.

hmmmmmm. a bunch of these things suggest that there might be a drive letter confusion going on.
can you check something for me? while the ipod is disconnected, try doing a file and folders search for "ipod_control".
the ipod_control folder should only show up on the ipod itself. so if you see it on a different drive, it's quite plausible that this issue is at the bottom of matters:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Various problems with my ipod touch please help

    Hi,
    I need help yesterday when i plugged my ipod in to update my podcasts like i do every morning I kept getting an error message that i can't remember and then when it was finished syncing there was no content on it. then i started getting the error message that my account had been disabled due to security purposes???  anyway i went to work (without my ipod...tourture!) and when i got back i tried to sync it again only this time my ipod was giving me the message that it couldn't be synced because there was not enough space but i my ipod is a 32 gb and when i clicked on the ipod screen the bar at the bottom had my usual adudio and video content (the space that it uses) but then the rest of the bar was yello (other content?) and I don't know what it is and its taking all the space up on the ipod. so i tried restoring it but the same thing would keep happening. so i uninstalled itunes piece by piece (to my dismay i lost everything in my library and it won't open now. I went to teh apple website to try and download the itunes but it kept telling "now that you've downloaded itunes lets get started" but nothing had actually downloaded! i finally got the 32 bit version to install but now when i try to open itunes it won't and gives me the error message that "itunes can't be opened because it was created by a new version". i have lost everything and now i can't even use my ipod. i paid 3 or 4 hundred dollars for this about two years ago not to mention all the content i have already purchased and its all lost and I don't have any warranty. Can anyone help????

    - Try completely removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using these instructions:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    - The try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First try restoring from backup. If still problem then restore to factoery defaults/new iPod
    - If you can't restore, try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    PLEASE CAN U GIVE ME EXACT CODE FOR CHANGES TO BE MADE IN THIS BADI ..AS IT IS NOT WORKING...
    Can anybody help me regarding how to debug the BADI in R3.
    Thanks in Advance...

    Hi Ravi,
    You can transfer the standard SRM catalog ID field to R/3 tracking number field (if not already used for another purpose) in the R/3 PO.
    This will avoid to implement the R/3 inbound bapi.
    Here is an extract of the code.
    The ECS PO badi example was here used to transfer the unlimited delivery flag to R/3 PO for a Z combination of criteria as well as the transfer of <b>catalog ID</b> to <b>tracking number field</b> in R/3 PO :
    method IF_EX_BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI~BBP_B46B_PO_OUTBOUND.
    update unlimited delivery flag in R3 PO for combination of vendor +
    Product Category maintained in the bespoke table ZUD_PC_VNDR ..
      LOOP AT ct_bapi_poitem INTO ls_bapi_poitem.
        lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
        IF ls_bapi_poitem-po_item IS NOT INITIAL.
          READ TABLE it_item INTO ls_item
               WITH KEY number_int = ls_bapi_poitem-po_item
                          del_ind    = ' '.
          IF sy-subrc = 0.
    Set Unlimited delivery Flag
            read table li_zud_pc_vndr into ls_zud_pc_vndr
                            with key partner       = ls_partner-PARTNER_ID
                                       category_id = ls_item-category_id.
            if sy-subrc eq 0.
              ls_bapi_poitem-UNLIMITED_DLV = 'X'.
            endif.
    Set the Dummy catalog.. entry..
            if ls_item-catalogid eq c_dummy.
              ls_bapi_poitem-TRACKINGNO = c_noncat.
            endif.
            ls_bapi_poitem-GR_BASEDIV = ' '.
            modify ct_bapi_poitem from ls_bapi_poitem index lv_tabix
                          transporting UNLIMITED_DLV TRACKINGNO GR_BASEDIV.
          ENDIF. "READ TABLE it_item ..
        ENDIF.   "IF ls_bapi_poitem-po_item ..
      ENDLOOP.   "LOOP AT ct_bapi_poitem ..

  • TS3899 In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.

    In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
    Hope that helps.

  • A Huge Problem with my iPod touch 5th Generation - Cannot Sync or Hard Reset

    It's Impossible unless Somebody has a suggestion on how to fix this "problem".
    This iPod 5th Generation appears to have a black screen. Whenever i charge it. It goes to charging screen that Battery symbol and the lightning bolt below the Battery symbol. You cannot turn it on or reach to the apple logo. Cannot do a Hard reset (Sleep button + Home button at the same time). It stays as it was. Charging for 5 Hours now...What a big waste. Got this iPod less then a month. Called help to fix the problem at apple store which i have an appointment in 2 days. But if any suggestions would work on my iPod. Then i don't need to go to the appointment.
    Please. Somebody help me fix that iPod. Stuck at black screen. Can't goto the apple logo. So whenever i unplug the recharger. It goes black screen instead of battery required to charge or something like that.
    Anybody help?

    Here:
    Not Charge
    - See:       
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
