  • Ipod touch 5th gen internal device error

    Hi
    I purchased an ipod touch 5th gen today and have had no luck getting my music onto it from itunes. Everytime I attempt to sync it either reads "internal device error" or "could not sync with this ipod as it was unable to be read from". I have tried restoring it twice with no luck. Help!

    What happens when you try to restore?
    Have yu tried another cable
    Try on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Automatically Syncing my 3rd Gen IPod Touch, All my music and videos show in the device on iTunes, but when I look at the device itself, it say no content.  Can someone help?  The Apps seem to sync fine, just not the music, videos, podcasts, or audiobooks.

  • Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

    I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?        

    Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
    That "itunes file from the old PC"?  Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
    All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
    That's on the iPod, correct?  Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC?  Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
    This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers.  See the section called External drive.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
    There are many steps, but this is a summary.  (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder.  (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive.  (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive).  When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
    If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.

  • 3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics.  Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one.  From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

  • What are the best devices to use in my car to listen to music on my 3rd gen iPod Nano?

    What are the best devices on the market today to use in my car to listen to music on my 3rd Gen iPod nano?  I currently use the Monster device that plugs into the electrical adapter (former cigarrette lighter!) in the car.  It's a pain in the neck to manually search for unused FM stations on a long trip. I want something that automatically searches for unsused FM stations or, better yet, that will allow me to somehow connect the iPod into the CD player or directly to the radio itself.  I have a 2004 Toyota Highlander.
    Any suggestions for quality after-market products from the Forum?

    If you have files with the .m4v or .m4a extension its better to change them to .mp4. The M4 extensions will sometimes download in the browser instead of playing.
    A usefull free app for file conversion is Miro...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
    It can quickly convert to all the formats you need to load for html5 playback: MP4, OGG, WebM
    If you include these three, fallback to flash will only be required for Internet Explorer V 8 and older. V 9 is supposed to support html5 but I haven't actually seen any proof of this.
    Players like flowplayer and JWLongtail are convenient because the control bar icon be customized. This lets you get away from the nasty looking QT control bar.

    3rd gen iPod touch. I just get a blank screen (after a few secs of the apple symbol) when it is switched on or when connected for charging. I know the connections are OK. Suggestions/help please

    I took the iPod to the local Apple shop. The guy put the iPod onto a docking station and checked it - answer "connections are OK". I have used the link before but have not gone through all its suggestions (although picked on the most relevant ones). I may have to go back. Thanks again for your suggestions

  • Ipod cannot be synced internal device error

    This has been very aggravating for me for a while now. I've been trying to sync music on my ipod touch, but I keep getting a message that says "ipod cannot be synced internal device error". I tried to restore my touch and I even downloaded the latest updates ..but no use. Every time i try to sync.. I get the same message..I'm starting to give up hope. I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution. My ipod touch syncs on my desktop.. but not on my laptop(contains all my music). If I can get a solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you check your security software settings? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
    Did you restore "as new ipod" without using the backup to restore afterwards?

  • My iPod cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.

    I have a macbook and recently (within two week's) got my ipod 4g. It was fine until this morning when i tryed to sync it and it said:
    "The iPod "matt walsh's iPod' can not be synced. An internal device error occured. "

    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable and USB port.
    - Next would be to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restore. This erases the iPod.

  • Need help updating a 3rd Gen iPod Touch....

    I have a 3rd Gen iPod Touch running iOS4.1. I have an iMac G5 running OSX10.4.11. The iTunes version is 9.2.1. When I connect my iPod to my iMac and click 'Update' in iTunes it simply states 'You have the latest version of iTunes 9.2.1'. How can I update my iPod?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to update the OSX on your computer. Going higher that 4.1 requires iTunes 10 or higher. iTunes 10 requires OSX 10.5.8 or higher.
