Ipod 3g and itunes 10.5.3.

I am trying to sync my VOD (very old device) on iTunes 10.5.3., but it doesn't show up, neither on my deskop nor in iTunes. I know that it's still alive, it works fine with his original adapter, even if the battery has a life of something between 10 and 11 minutes - I connect it to a stereo, I'm not walking aroung with it. Is there a way to keep it working? Thanks for any ideas!!

You must not connect it to any USB Hub or the Keyboard USB port, connect it directly to a USB port on the Mac body. Preferably connect it to the Mac first for 2 hours and go away do something else.
Then come back
Press the iPod Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Then select your preferred language
Check if there is any indiction of the Ipod on the desktop.
If not, disconnect the Ipod and reboot the Mac and connect back the Ipod.
Good Luck!

How do you know it will not let you? Are you getting an error message? What is the error message?

Difference between free space reported by my iPod Touch and iTunes

Why is so different the free space reported by my iPod Touch and iTunes?, which of both devices is reporting the correct free space?
also, I restored my iPod two days ago because "other" space was too big (almost a gig),
three days later, is over 500Mb, why is this happening?, thanks.
On the pic you can see the difference between the free space reported by my iPod (403 MB) and iTunes (0.29Gb)

I took the pic when I finished syncing, so that shouldn't be an issue, no matter how many times I sync, free space is never equal (iPod always reports more space).
I'm running iOS 5.0.1 and I restored three days ago because iTunes said I was out of space to sync (and my iPod reported over 100Mb free).
As you can see from the pic, I only have 9 apps, I mainly use this iPod for music. I'm using the AAC option to fit more songs.
I really like this iPod, but as a music player. I had a first generation iPod Touch and "other" space never was an issue, I still have warranty, but I don't know if I should take this iPod to the store because of this, because it seems to be a software issue.
Just deleted my emails from the iPod and gained 10 Mb, I don't know what else can I do.

If you think the emoji is the cause of the problem, why not remove the emoji from your name?

101 Problems with my iPod Touch and iTunes...Almost

It really feels like I have 101 problems with my iPod touch and iTunes.
For some time now my iPod Touch have been using alot of batterypower and the battery is often discharged very fast. It discharges alot faster now than when I brought the Touch.
Also when I plug the iPod Touch to my computer it doesn't charge, it does the oposite of that, it's disharges and it does that ALOT faster than normal
There is also a problem regarding connecting the iPod Touch to iTunes. It doesn't connect to iTunes directly after I have plugged it in. It feels really random and it lives it own life it seems like.
If I accomplish to connect ut to iTunes it doesn't sync every single time. The computer / iPod Touch hangs and nothing happens. Soemtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, like I said before - It feels really random!
Now to a BBIIGG problem. A week ago my girlfriend changed my password on my iPod Touch. When she typed the password into the login screen, it failed, she had forgotten the password / she thought that she picked that password when she changed it. Anywho, I didn't panic becuase I knew that I could lock it up by iTunes.
But, iTunes gives me a error while trying to restore the iPod Touch saying that there is no update avaiable and after that nothing happens. I tried to do the Sleep / Power + Home trick to set the iPod Touch into a recovery mode but iTunes gave me a unknown error.
I tried to update iTunes from my version to the new 8.0 version but when I do so it gives me a error saying that iTunes.msi can not be found and it can't uninstall the previous version :S
So, now I have a unusable iPod Touch, I can't do nothing with it.
Like I said, It's really feels like I have 101 problems ;D.
Lucky I have my old iPod so I can listen to Music :P

Are you running windows xp or vista? I know the solution for vista but not for xp. My mate had the same problem but he has a vista.
Let me know what you are running.

Error Installing iPod software and iTunes

I was trying to install my iPod drivers and iTunes but i get an error message and i can't install both...
"String PRODUCT_NAME was not found in string table."
"Error Number: 0x80040706
Description: Object reference not set
Setup will now Terminate."

hmmmm. are you trying to install an itunes version 6.0.x or earlier? that message is associated with the older installer technology used with iTunes prior to itunes 7.
if so, the following InstallShield document is a good place to start:
0x80040706 Object Reference Not Set

IPod Mini and iTunes 7

I have an iPod Mini and I recently downloaded iTunes 7.0.1. For some reason, my podcasts won't import to the podcasts folder on my iPod. Is there any way to work around this, or will I just have to listen to them under songs instead?
Dean

First, I have to say that video potcast won't be synced to a iPod without the video feature. Okay,... If that isn't the problem then plug in your iPod and open iTunes. Click the iPod icon on your source list. Click the "Podcast" tab on the top and check sync all podcasts. If that is already selected, then you should select "selected podcasts" and check everyone of them.

IPod Touch and iTunes Will Not Work Together.

I just received a new iPod Touch 32GB yesterday and have had nothing but troubles trying to get it to play nicely with iTunes. The Touch is currently version 1.1.5/4B1 (I believe updated to this sometime yesterday).
I am running iTunes v. 7.7.1 (11). When I connect the Touch to my iMac with iTunes running (even though I have it checked, just plugging the Touch in does not open iTunes) nothing happens for a long time and then I get a spinning beach ball which I have let go on for more than 20 minutes at one time.
The Touch and iTunes work fine independently. The last two times after force quitting iTunes, I have received the following error: iTunes could not connect to the iPhone (??) "" because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000035).
Does anyone know what this error is, & how do I resolve these issues?
<Edited by Moderator>

At least atm -
I have re-installed iTunes after restarting the iMac and then restarted again, the Touch connected and showed right away after that and I am happily, currently syncing.
If it goes bottoms up again, I'll be back!

IPod Classic and iTunes 10.5.x

I've been monitoring the iPod Classic forums for over a month now, trying to get a feeling of whether to upgrade my Windows 7 system to the latest iTunes (10.5.x). I'm interested in the update for the security fixes, but have been wary ever since iTunes 9.
I'm impressed with the folks that answer here, and have attempted to summarize my observations regarding the common questions in this post in my journal. The impression I'm getting, at least from the support questions and answers, is that iTunes 10.5 is iffy. I'm seeing lots of questions where iTunes (apparently 10.5) seemingly hangs in the middle of a large transfer (usually due to an interaction with the anti-virus software), and ends up corrupting the filesystem on the iPod Classic, requiring a restore and a retransfer of all files. Further (especially a concern for folks like me with over 26,000 songs), that transfer needs to be done in small chunks.
So, my question to the experts on this forum (turingtest, planb77, bilbo_cheshire, and all the other good folks here) is: Is my impression correct? If I have no need to use the cloud (which doesn't work with the iPod Classic) and if iTunes 10.4 is working fine, don't f--- with it.
Secondly, does anyone know if Apple is aware of these interactions, and is it likely to be fixed in a future version. My fear, of course, is that the iPod Classic is a dead iPod classic playing, and there won't be Apple support for a device with the large storage capacities.

Please help, iPod Nano and iTunes issues

1. I can't update my iPod Product Red. I've downloaded the update, and when I click "update" in iTunes, it just sits there for hours saying its updating
2. The first time I start windows, connect my iPod Nano and then start iTunes (or even the other way around, start itunes then connect ipod), my nano doesn't show up in itunes. I need to restart the service after plugging in the nano every single time!
3. I cant restore my iPod Nano either, the same problem with the updating my ipod, the progress screen just goes back and forth for hours without doing anything, infact my nano just seems like it looses synch during both an update and a restore, because the do not disconnect message on the screen goes away once either update or restore process is started.
Please help! This is my first ipod purchase and so far it is really disappointing me and frustrating, thanks

IPod classic and iTunes

Why does the classic not list the playlist in the same order as on iTunes (which is alphabetical)?

Well, i tried but I downloaded the latest iTunes (v 11.2x) and now I am waiting for iTunes Match to get done. I have been having a ***** of a time lately with my iPoc classic and iTunes. I get the feeling that Apple is not keeping up with the iTunes coding necessary to handle 'old' products. It seems as if they want me to buy an iPod touch.
Regarding your comment about finding the Apple ID associated with each song, some songs i checked don't have the Apple ID on the 'info' section. I have tried this before and it has worked for me but somehow this time, i get all kinds of unintelligible errors while i sync that really **** me off. I wish error messages were more direct and specific. I will follow up once iTunes is ready. thanks for your input so far. Appreciate it.

IPod frozen and iTunes freezes when resetting

My iPod and iTunes are acting up. iTunes froze when I tried to update my iPod. Then my iPod was locked in Do Not Disconnect state. Forced restarts many times to get it running, so I started the reset process. When I try syncing with iTunes to put everything back in it hangs on a podcast and the cycles resumes. I've managed to get into the diagnostic mode and it tests out OK. Is it iTunes or the iPod?
It's a click wheel model before the photo version was released.

Got it working again, but I've only tried putting a few songs back on it. The auto process kept hanging. Listening to a new album I bought and it keeps skipping within songs. It doesn't always do it, and if I go back and listen to the skipped song it plays fine. Though once it wouldn't go back and I had to force it to restart.

Problems with iPod Classic and iTunes

Since a previous post of mine (where I was complaining about the bugs on iPod Classic and/or iTunes) has been deleted, at last I have the confirmation that some Apple fellow is reading these posts.
So my question is addressed to any Apple employee that is reading this:
Should I return my iPod Classic or should I wait for Apple to provide any fix/update/informations?
Thank You

IPod Nano and iTunes 5.0.1 - Crash on sync

Whenever I connect my iPod nano to my laptop using iTunes 5.0.1, it appears in the panel on the left and a preferences box appears to enable me to set up my nano. I enter all the details I want, and click OK.
Then I get a nice crash message asking me whether I want to close or debug the application using the Just In Time debugger and iTunes closes either way.
Reverting to iTunes 4.9 on the nano CD seems to have solved the problem, but I still have sporadic problems where during a transfer, iTunes says it cannot communicate with the nano.
Anyone know how I can the 5.0.1 to work properly, or should I just wait for the next version?

I thought it was just ipod, maybe because I was playing movie files from it, but now I see other people are having problems. My 3G ipod is crashing or stalling when connected to to my computer via firewire. At first everyting looks normal, the "Do not disconnect" sign flashes a few times, but then the hard drive starts clicking and the screen on the ipod freezes (no flashing). And if I try to access it from the computer it crashes any program on which I try to do so, including Finder.
Right now, it did that and I forced restarted the ipod. As soon as I did that, all of the stalled programs on my computer started working fine. The ipod is now connected and flashing, but now it doesn't even show up on the computer, so I don't know how to eject it. I was able to get it to work once last night, but I forgot how. Apple, if other people are having this or similar problems, please fix it.
