Currently I have tried uninstalling the usb driver to no avial so any suggestion?

  • Windows movie maker dose not seem to work with itunes music.

    Windows movie maker dose not seem to work with itunes music anymore. Hear is what happend in a nut shell.
    For reasons I can not explain I had to reinstall all my software on my Vista HP notbook. But I only had one why of saving my data music,photos. I had to use my flash drive to save everything as my DVD recoder would not work right at the time.
    So I save everything I needed and then did the deed then when that was all done and everything was working right again. I put all my photos and music back to my computer. All my music or aleast most of my music is from itunes some music is from CD I do not have anymore.
    My question is when I go to put music with my movie or slideshow with Windows movie maker. A box pops up and tells me that this song dose not have the right codec but it also tell me did I download the right codec. I have know idea what its talking about. Movie Maker worked fine with itunse music before the reinstall. I am thinking I did not save the music right though the music plays great on itunes but just will not import right to my movie project. I am at a lose for words can someone please help me shed some well needed light on this all the help I can get would be a God send thank you.

    this happens to me too can someone please tell us what is going on?

  • IPod classic is slow to sync with itunes stored on WD 3TB Mybook Live

    Hello!
    My itunes library is stored on a 3TB WD Mybook live external storage device. Ever ince I moved all my itunes media to mybook live my ipod classic takes forever to sync with itunes. Prior to mybook live I had all my media stored on a WD external storage unit without any problems.

    Hey there oochow69,
    It sounds like your iPod Classic is grayed out in iTunes when you connect it to your computer after a recent OS upgrade. I recommend the troubleshooting in the article named:

  • Ipod classic Model M9282LL not syncing with itunes 10.6.3

    My older ipod classic ver 3.1.1 purchased after 2005 will no longer sync with itunes. When I use to log it in itunes would auto open up and begin syncing. Have not done it in a while. Using an older mac ver 10.5.8.. Have i tunes 10.6.3.  Cannot afford a new computer with newer updates and if that is the case I feel its wrong...

    I fixed it. I changed ports on back of computer. There is a sync symbol on back of the older mac so I thought that was the only one to use, so tried another. my motto: Just keep at it and you can figure it out. Also with all the info via the internet its like a do it yourself library out there and the helpful ideas is fantastic.

  • My iPod Classic 80Gb won't sync with iTunes after "Restoring" to factory settings

    My iPod Classic is probably about 8 years old, or maybe a little more and has never before given serious problems. Until I recently "restored" the device, the hard drive had about 40Gb of music and podcasts stored on it but no photos or videos.
    The device recently just "died" completely and without warning - just a blank screen with no response from any of the controls.  I rebooted it using the "Menu" and "Select" buttons and it came back to life. However as it had recently been displaying some other small issues like having to be manually ejected every time after syncing, instead of automatically saying "it is now safe to disconnect" as it always used to, I thought I'd restore it to its original factory settings and then reload my catalogue.  Big mistake!
    Now when I connect the device, it won't automatically sync as it always used to; and when I try to manually sync it either from the "Sync" button at the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes screen or by right-clicking on the device's icon in iTunes and selecting the "sync" option, the iTunes banner simply states "iPod sync is complete" and "Eject before disconnecting" with no data being loaded.
    My computer is a Windows 7 PC running the latest version of iTunes (11.3.1.2) and the iPod device software is up to date (version 1.1.2). <my windows updates are carried out automatically.   I have worked my way through the iTunes diagnostics pages, but to no avail.
    Any assistance in resolving this issue would be much appreciated.

    You would have to update you Mac os.
    It is clear:
    System requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later, and iTunes 10 or later4
    PC with USB 2.0 port; Windows 7, Vista, or XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later; and iTunes 10 or later4
    Internet access required; broadband recommended; fees may apply"

  • Ipod Classic 160 will not synch with Itunes

    Message from Itunes when I connect Ipod Classic 160 is "Software required for communicating with the Ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes" I have reinstalled 7.6 several times and tried 7.5 but nothing works. I have tried the 5R's. Nothing. When I connect the Ipod to another older Seanix with Itunes 7.5, it works. Can anybody out there solve this problem. I have been going round and round for 10 hours. Cheers.

  • Ipod Classic wheel will not sync with ITunes 11.0.4.4

    My IPod classic wheel will no longer sync with the ITunes program on my Windows XP system. When plugged in with cord, the IPod acts as if it is syncing. ITunes shows the eject button for the IPod, but it isn't recognized as a device by ITunes. Our IPad and IPhones will sync.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Would appreciate any help you have. I had just reloaed my entire ITunes library after losing everything except what was purchased but didn't think that should be a reason for the IPod to quit syncing. HELP!

  • Ipod Classic 80gb won´t work with apple universal dock and remote

    I own 2 ipods a 5th generation 60gb and an ipod classic 60gb. I've just bought an apple universal dock with remote and the original apple component and composite AV cables. I connected the universal dock to my TV via the composite cable, with my ipod 5th gen I can watch videos on the TV and control the ipod with the apple remote but when I connect my ipod classic to the universal dock it will charge but I can´t get any video out or control the ipod with the remote. It's as if the ipod classic doesn't recognize the universal dock and it keeps showing the connect the video accessory screen, even when i tried using the apple component AV cable. I dont think the problem is with the universal dock because it works fine with my Ipod video 60gb, but with my Ipod Classic 80gb the remote control and video out won't work at all, i can´t even control the playback of audio playlists. Does anyone know why that is happenning? Please help me!

    I have the Classic 80gb also...same probem. I retuned the Apple Universal Dock and purchased one that was half the price. Pluged it in and it works perfectly! So my advice would be to save some money and get products that work.

  • I am having trouble with syncing my ipod classic to my new computor with itunes

    When I have tried to sync my ipod classic to my new computor is asks of I want to erase and sync or transfer.  I selected erase and sync and it pops up with a bubble asking for my e-mail and password.  The computor has been authorized and it takes my e-mail and password but then pops up with three other e-mals form other people.  What do I do?  Should I restore the ipod classic????????

    Kim, sorry, but I couldn't get what you are trying to do.
    iTunes jargon
    RESTORE - to erase all data, ie music, address, video etc in the connected iPod and populate them with factory settings.
    Why do we need to do this? When the iPod hardisk filesystem is corrupted and the iTunes cant map the iPod hardisk file structure, to add new data, music, videos etc.
    SYNC - The process, where iTunes overrides all data, music, videos in the iPod, with the iTunes Library. So if the iTunes library in your PC is blank, then iTunes will erase your iPod, till blank.
    iTunes Library - the folder in your PC/MAC that contains all your data/music/video etc. The iTunes does not treat the iPod as a store, but rather as huge landfill, so you need 3rd party software to recover any data from the iPod back to the PC/MAC.

  • IPod touch 4g iOS 6 works with iTunes 10.6.3

    Is this unusual? I hooked my Touch 4G to my PowerPC iMac and opened iTunes to see what happens. Amazingly, it synced with the iMac. It was running iOS 6.1.3 but after I plugged it in, 6.1.5 was installed from the iMac. I always see people say it won't work, so why for me? Anyone else had this work? This is weird.
    Also, my iPod was never connected to any kind of computer prior to this.

    As far as I know, iTunes 10.6.3 works without any problem with iOS 6 devices. The problem comes when you connect iOS 7 devices, which need iTunes 11 and, in this case, you need an Intel-based computer

  • Ipod Shuffle (2nd gen) not working with iTunes 11.0.4

    I have my shuffle set to Manually Manage songs, and can view and add to the Ipod through 'On this Ipod' but highlighting songs and hitting the delete key is not working to remove songs. The process works for my other Ipods including my Touch and Classic. I don't want to 'restore' my Ipod because some of the content is only stored on a computer that isn't working at the moment, I just want to get rid of some of it to make way for new stuff.

    Actually it turns out I can't even add to it. It claims it's synced to another library (which apparently is true, being as it was last used with my Macbook Pro). Somewhat new question, How do I combine the two libraries, as it's all mine, just on two different computers, one of which doesn't work unless it's in Hard Disk Mode.

  • I have vista, although I am getting my email on IPhone I cannot seem to synch with Itunes, there is a failure to synch window.  Also, I can't get my calendar on IPhone.

    I am getting a failure to synch message on the ITunes screen.  I do get my emails on the IPhone but can't seem to get my calendar.  This system is windows mail/calendar.

    No, it's telling you to upgrade iTunes on your COMPUTER. Not on your phone. Download and install the latest version for http://www.apple.com/itunes.
    If you have a Mac, you must be running at least OS X 10.6.8.

  • Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

    My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

    one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file.  Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing  even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
    This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer.   Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar.     Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
    Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
    Ideas?

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
