IPod 5G 60GB invisible to Mac after iTunes/iPod update

The battery icon on the iPod shows that it is charging when the cable is connected, but that's all I get now.
Even in Disk Mode, it won't show in Disk Utility.
Have done the reset many many times and the manual disk mode setting at least half of those.
Is there a fix for this posted somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

Are you trying to switch to mac or to use two different computers?
There are a lot of threads dealing with using an iPod on both PCs and Macs at the same time. I believe there is a problem if you try to do automatic uploads from iTunes from both computers, but check the discussions specific to that.
If you are switching, your life would be easier if you reformatted the iPod to HFS+ (mac format)

Windows iPod doesn't work on Mac after iTunes 5 update

Hi. I have a windows formatted 2nd (touch wheel) generation 10gig iPod. I also have an iBook G4. The windows iPod always worked on my Mac until I updated from iTunes 4.9 to iTunes 5. I have the latest iTunes software, but now I can't put songs on my iPod. (I use automatic update.) What's more, whenever I plug in my iPod, my iBook deletes some of my songs from the iPod, and says that the iPod software needs to be updated. When I tried to update it, it said that the iBook couldn't do it because it's a Windows-formatted iPod. It's all a mess. Can anyone help?

Hello mzshay2u2,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac. First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.

No function after iTunes/Quicktime update

After restarting my G4 Power Mac when the iTunes/Quicktime update had installed, my screen went to blue and froze. I did a hard reboot and now any program I open quits within seconds and I can't open any of my folders! When I try to open something, everything but the dock (toolbar and desktop icons) disappears and come back in a few seconds. Is this an iTunes issue or is there something else going on?

Try booting in Safe Mode. Hold down the Shift key during startup. If that doesn't do it, try holding down the X key during startup. If that doesn't start it up, I think you need to post over in the forum that applies to your particular machine (iBook, MacBook, iMac, etc.) The pros over there might be able to help. Don't hesitate to post back if you have more questions.

External Firewire HD dead after iTunes 7 update - won't mount!

I have a pretty serious problem.
I have a 70gb music library that I keep on a Lacie Porsche 250gb external Firewire HD. The first time I ran iTunes 7, it gave me the spinning ball and locked up when "determining gapless information". I had to force quit iTunes.
A few hours later, the external drive started making a high pitched noise, and now it won't mount at all. It's also not visible in Disk Utility or Diskwarrior. I'm at a loss!
I have lots of very valuable information stored on my external drive, so I'm really hoping I can do something to revive it.
powerbook g4 500mhz Mac OS X (10.4.7)
powerbook g4 500mhz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I recently had exactly the same problem with the 200GB model prior to the iTunes 7 update, so would concur that you're probably looking at a hardware quality issue. Thankfully the problems seem to be more related to power supply rather that the drive itself so you may be able to regain the data by swapping this over to a new external caddy as I did, but be wary of warranty issues.
Good luck ...

Extensions Load Slow (Mac) After Latest Photoshop Update

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the below:
(On Mac - Mavericks) The latest Photoshop CC 2014 update has slowed down the loading of my two extension (these are extensions I have created in HTML5). Prior to the update they loaded fine. Also, when I uninstalled one of the extensions and then reinstall it I get error code -180 (no documentation on this error code), I click ok and then open Photoshop and the extension loads (but slow) and when I quit Extension Manger and reopen it the extension shows it is loaded.
No problems with the extension in Windows 7 after the Photoshop update. The extensions load as before the update.
Also, error code -180 is a mystery. I have searched the web and can find no reference to it. Any idea where Adobe lists their error codes?
Any insights on this issue will be appreciated - Sam
PS - When one of my extension pallets displays a blank window, I click in the pallet and the extension loads. Strange!

Please post your problem to Photoshop General Discussion so that it can reach more people and get better support.

After iTunes/Yosemite updates, custom ringtones no longer available in Contacts on Mac but are on iPhone

After updating to Yosemite, my custom ringtones are no longer associated with particular contacts on my Mac. They seem to be in the right place in iTunes (ver. 12, updated at same time), and are still assigned to contacts on my iPhone (OS 8.1)--I haven't synched contacts, but I can't figure out how to get them re-assigned to specific contacts on the computer. when they're not there to be selected. These are a combination of purchased and GarageBand ringtones, and have been in use for years. Here's what I've tried:
In iTunes > Tones: Deselecting the ringtones, syncing (connected to mac). Then re-selcting and synching again. Ringtones are still visible on the iphone in Sounds, and in iTunes, but not available from within Contacts on the Mac.
Still in iTunes, used Get Info to identify where in Finder Tones are kept, which for me is: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Tones/. Copied all of them, moved the originals to the trash. (Did not empty.) Restarted. Didn't make a difference. I put everything back.
I have had this problem once before with an OS upgrade or new iPhone, I'm not sure which, but the de-selecting/selecting had worked. Not this time, however. My mistake may have been to update to Yosemite before updating my phone to OS8.1, but that's the way it was presented to me, and I didn't realize it would matter. My preference is to sync my contacts. But this became de-selected during the update. (Other prefs changed, also, for example--I prefer local backup, and it defaulted to iCloud.)

regarding the ringtones, i was able to set custom ringtones myself, but ever since i did that i get errors when synching my phone in the form that some app's dont work, have any of you had this problem?

IPod Touch will not fill to capacity after iTunes 9 update

After updating iTunes to 9.0 my iPod touch will no longer fill to capacity. Although the capacity bar on the Summary screen shows about 80 MB free, I keep getting the error that there is not enough space to sync anything more. I have updated my firmware to 3.1.1 and the problem persists. A possibly related problem is that even if I leave like 200 mb free, the "Automatically fill free space with songs" feature does not seem to work - it just leaves the space empty.

I seem to be having the same problem as well, and it happened after i installed itunes 9. Supposedly, I would have about 90mb of free space on my ipod but when I try to sync a few photos or extra songs it will tell there's not enough available memory..that i only have 20mb. Before, I used to be able to fill my ipod completely. But now, it stops filling once it reaches 70mb remaining. I've read other instances in this forum of this happening to other people.
Even with the firmware update (9.0.1) I'm still experiencing the problem. hopefully Apple will come up with something to patch this up.

3G ipod jams after itunes 7 update

So i upgrade to itunes 7 which is quite nice i have to say. But as soon as I copy something to my ipod It starts "Determining Gapless Playback Information" which sound sweet, It sould now make all the tunes on my ipod gapless right? Well out of the 4500 songs i have, it gets to around 700+ then starts pinwheeling. There is no way out of it except to unplug the ipod. Anybody else having this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?
Im on a macbook pro with a 3G ipod
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I am having the same problem. I connect my 3G iPod and iTunes 7 launches, I get the "Updating Library on iPod" dialog, the progress bar goes about 2/3 and iTunes "dies". Activity monitor show "Not Responding" and I have to force quit iTunes.
The 3G iPod mounts on the desktop but I can't even "eject" it. I have to reset the iPod and of course when it restarts and remounts on the desktop iTunes 7 launches and we're in a vicious cycle.
I would reset the iPod to Factory Settings but I interact with it because of the cycle described above. Is there a way to prevent iTunes 7 from auto-launching when I connect the iPod?
Fortunately, the music and books on the pod are fine, but obviously I can't update it with anything new. It's a good thing I just loaded three new long audiobooks!
As to your question, "Anybody have any idea what's going on?" Apple screwed up and released a poorly tested piece of software. I bet QA for this release never even tested with anything but a brand new iPod on a top end Intel mac. This isn't the first time Apple forgot about us loyal, long time Mac users who can't afford to buy the newest and best as soon as it comes out. Heck I'm still paying for my 2ghz iMac (the one just before the one with the camera) and now they want me to dump it and jump to an Intel iMac.
Thanks for nothing Apple!

Slow Mac after iTunes 10

Since I upgraded iTunes to ver 10 I noticed my Mac is slower than before. I encountered several issues that got me to format the whole thing and start from scratch. All goes well but once my MacBook Pro starts syncing with Time Machine or Apple TV the whole system freezes for few minutes before accepting few orders then freezes again.
All works well in the office because I have no Time Machine or Apple TV but once I get home, the whole suffering scenario starts all over again. My only choice would be to turn off the Airport and use the internet via Tethering.
Any suggestions?

It didn't work! Here are the results:

ATV unstable after iTunes 11 update

Hi Guys,
I have a problem. Since the update of iTunes 11 and the new ATV updates my Atv's are useless.
I have 4 x ATV 3 and 2 Macbook pro's. All wireless connection via an airport extreme
since the update the following happens:
- Once you have started the Atv up and out of sleep mode, it now takes a while to find the Library.
- Then I select the show I want to watch and within 5-8 min's it suddenly stops and says no network connection.
- Then after a minute, the ATV regains network connection, so I select the library and then its says that there is no Home sharing available.
- After2-3min it finds home sharing and I can get back into my itunes library.
- Select the same show to continue watching but the same S*^%$ happens again and again. So after doing this 2 or 3 times I give up and put on a DVD.
Has somebody found a fix as this is just so annoying.
hope someone can help
BR,
Nicholas

Hi everybody,
I have two App TV's, one is a 2nd gen and the the other is a 3rd gen model.
My network is based on a Mac Time Capsule 3 Tb, connected to a ADSL router. I connect to the Time Capsule, via Ethernet, a iMac, a MacBook Pro, an iPod, an iPhone 4S, both Apple TVs and an iPad 2.
First I updated all my devices to the newest version of iTunes and also I've started to have the same problem you are reporting. I was sure that updating the Aple TV 3gen to the newest firmware was going to solve the problem, but no... I'm still having the same problem, exactly as you described it.
As a matter of fact, the Apple TV 2gen is not working properly with my videos, when accessing to the iMac or the MacBook Pro.
So, the problem started with the new iTunes 11. It's my conclusion.
Has anybody experienced the same problem?
Keep well,
Carlos

Podcasts are without video after iTunes 702 update !!

After updating to iTunes 702, my previously downloaded podcasts are not viewing any video, just the audio.
Anyone has the same problem ??

When I navigate via Music/Podcasts (or Podcasts straight off the main menu if you have your iPod configured that way), I get the audio and video podcasts and these are then played back audio-only (ie any video podcasts are played back from that menu as thought they were audio-only, which isn't a bad thing if I have my iPod in my pocket, as I guess it uses less power than generating the video which I'm not watching?).
To watch video podcasts including the video, I have to navigate through the menus via Videos/Video Podcasts, then I see only the video podcasts and any I select from there are played back audio+video.
If that isn't the case for you too, I don't have any suggestions because I don't think I am doing anything particular to make it work that way. This is with a 5.5G 80Gbyte iPod and the latest firmware and iTunes software.

ITunes Screensaver Broken after iTunes 11 update

After upgrading, the iTunes screensaver now only displays the most recently downloaded artwork (currently 1 album, 3 podcast backgrounds).
Anyone else experiencing this, or has in the past as it may just be coincidental with the update? And of course any solutions.

Mine won't even shut down, it hangs everything up, ignores the force feature and the only way i can reboot is to hold down the power button. I have come to the conclusion that my mac book was defective since day 1. I have given them 6 months to make it better and no go. So they are sending me a new one. Hopefully that should solve the problem. I started having problem right out of the box. They actually wanted me to allow some randon apple guy in shreveport to replace a motherboard on a mac book pro less that a week old. I said no, you have six months to figure this out or send me a new one. They six was up yesterday and my new one should be in the mail shortly. Apple's tech support is top notch.

Home sharing not working after iTunes 11 update

Hi everyone,
after updating to iTunes 11 on our Macs OS X 10.6.8 and OS X 10.8.2 our home sharing doesn't work anymore. We have tried to turn home sharing off and set it up again several times, but no shared devices or accounts appear in the library menu. Does anyone know how to fix this problem without going back to iTunes 10.7.? Thanks for your help!!!
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8) & MacBook Pro, OS X (10.8.2)

Also, the reason I posted a fresh question is due to the issue of the "fix" I see folks posting. This is not a fix. When an update forces me to remove security or privacy it is called a problem / bug ... especially since it worked fine before.
Maybe it is intentional maybe not, but if the only solution is to remove my privacy barriers then I guess it is time to get rid of ATV and move away from apple.
Somebody tell me I am wrong or how to fix without having to get into my modem or firewall.

Rosetta no longer functions after iTunes & Quicktime update

I got off the 3rd phone call to AppleCare (three techs and product specialist -- the least helpful in the bunch by the way) and finally isolated the problem I'm having but the reaction from the AppleCare guy (the last one pretty much freaked) means there is little hope for a quick solution from Apple.
After updating iTunes and Quicktime using OSX software update. I could no longer launch legacy apps that operate using rosetta (i.e MS Office, AppleWorks, JMP, etc.). Additionally, if I go into GetInfo from the finder and click "Open using Rosetta" that app will no longer launch. In both cases the app simply (if clicked from the finder) appears briefly in the dock and then disappears.
When I had AppleCare on the line the guy went to confirm something with me on his machine and was very surprised to find that his copy of MS Word was not working either (his word were something like: "Good Lord, the menus are all grayed out, huh?". At which point I decided there was not going to be a fix. He sent me some articles on Archive and Install, which I may do but I'm hoping not to go that route.
I've got one more symptom that may help others figure out what's happening, which will hopefully mean you can help me fix this:
When I try and launch an app (legacy or universal) from the command line using rosetta (see this for more info) I get: Segmentation fault!
Okay, first would someone out there confirm that this is not happening on their system. Then, one of you brilliant souls, let me know what I can do to fix it. Is there a sneaky way I could bust into a package/install image and install a fresh copy of the rosetta libraries etc? My experience with Segmentation Fault usually points to the executable being broken, but I'm by no stretch of the imagination an expert.
Regards,
David G.

You won't like this but I figured out QT smashed rosetta soon after installing the ituunes/quicktime updates when quicken wouldn't load...i knew it was one of the major apps that was never released for universal...at first i assumed the apple update had just broken quicken and checked the quicken site, finding no posts...then it dawned on me that the QT update must have damaged the System so I went hunting in my apps for other rosetta-only apps, found an old CD label printing program and it exhibited the same behaviors.
I went to the apple site and the company has not posted any info on the bug, then went looking for a standalone rosetta installer...couldn't find one
Here's the part you won't like: my mac mini is 3 months old. I dug out the os x install disks and reinstalled the system. Then went through and reinstalled system updates. Reinstalling the system killed norton so I had to reinstall that too (no wonder i keep all the installer disks as dmg's on the ministack).
Result of all this, replacing the system, was that Rosetta is now working again.
I then went on to install ram, that went less smoothly and my local geniuses were less ingenious by this point, but that's another story for a paperweight website.
