Ipod connection problem, please help!!

Hi
The problem is when i plug my ipod nano, into my computer the new hardware sound happens and it shows up in device manager and disk management but doesnt come up in itunes, my computer or ipod updater. I have tried the 5 r's (cant restore because it doesnt show up) and tried changing the drive letter. i have recently upgraded motherboard and it has stopped working since then so i am guessing it is something to do with that. (also it works on other computers)
Thanks Joss

HotSpot Shield sounds like that may be the issue--especially if your IP address is different.

Network connection problems, please help!

I have had an iPod Touch (4th generation) for over a year now and it worked fine. Today, something went wrong with my network connection. One moment it says that I'm connected to a network, and a few seconds later it says I'm not connected... Then a few seconds later it's connected again. I have full wifi bars, and it does it throughout my whole house. The wifi symbol keeps going on and off. I tried turning my Verizon Westell Model 6100G Modem off and back on because this normally fixes my wifi connection problems. This didn't work. Then I tried turning my iPod off and back on. This didn't work. I tried turning the wifi off and back on. This didn't work. I tried forgetting my network and signing back in. This didn't work. I also tried resetting the network, and this didn't work either. I'm not having any connection problems with my laptop, it's working fine. It's only my iPod. I'm still able to use the wifi, but for a split second, it will not work. I'm not sure what else to do. It's very annoying! I'm going to see if it does this at other peoples houses with their wifi. Can any one tell me what's wrong and how I should fix it? My only theory is a broken antenna...Please help! Thanks!

I have two things you could try.
1. Plug your iPod into the host computer that which the network is based around because sometimes the network has trouble identifying a device if it has been a while since you plugged it into the computer.
2. Find some way to get your network information (IP address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS numbers) from another device on the network (e.g. laptop). Then go to Settings > Wi-FI and find your router and tap the blue arrow to the right of the name and tap the tab that says "Static" and enter this information accordingly. Then exit back to the network names menu and re-enter your passcode for your network (assuming you have a passcode)

Ipod 80gb problem please help

i need help with my ipod i tried to connect it and it wont connect. my Ipod is dead and wont charge. is it my USB wire (im using one that was used for a ipod touch is that the problem?) please help me

If the battery has run down, you need to leave the iPod connected to power for at least thirty minutes before anything appears to happen. Only then will it show any signs of life and you will need to leave it to charge up before disconnecting it.

IPod Mini Problems Please Help

This is my second post of the type... no one replied to that so im hoping someone could help me.
Problems:
-Wont Update or Load Songs
-It starts loading, gets to around the 5th song (out of well over 600) and says "Ipod Update Complete, OK To Disconnect" though nothing is on the iPod.
-Occasionally wont restore to factory settings.
Okay, before you suggest the five R's, ill note that ive put several MONTHS into this, and ive tried them well over 20 times in order.
Things Tried
-5 R's Repeatedly (as noted above)
-updating on a friends computer (several times with no luck, same problems)
-requested help over the phone
-The number i called was the Apple US Help Line, which the person helped me for about an hour before he said he did not know what was up, and transfered me to the Canadian help line, where they demanded a large sum for help, which i could not pay (under 18).
-When i first noticed the problems, I sent it in (around the end of december)and problems continued upon arrival of the new mini.
I will also note that my sisters iPod Nano works perfectly fine, no problems, as well as my friends iPods adding songs from my computer.
Please please help... im currently resorting to a crappy CD player that skips for my music... and have been... its starting to break me inside.
Thank you,
Milan

Natalie,
If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that do not disconnect message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select eject. Another way would be to use the safely remove hardware icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject.
If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked enable disk use, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after its finished transferring music.
For the iPod to automatically open iTunes, you have to have "open iTunes when this iPod is attached" checked.
Go to edit/preferences/iPod to do this.
If you prefer to keep the iPod set to manual transfer, look at this. In fact, the whole tutorial is a must read.

IPod touch problem PLEASE HELP NEEDED!

okay so it was my birthday 3 days ago and i got an iPod Touch 32gig 3GS as a gift. i installed some apps n they worked fine. put some music on it. then for some reason i found out tilting doesnt work. later on as i exited a game i wanted to listen to some music, music wouldnt work. so i thought i'd reset it. i went on the ipod touch general thing, went to reset all setting and delete all media. i thought it was frozen as it went to the apple screen with the little circle with lines filling up in the center. i thought it was frozen so i turned it off. now NOTHING WILL HAPPEN, i cant close it, it has to run out of power, when i put it on charge again it turns on and does the same thing, but does nothing, the little circle fills until its full then it blacks out and does the same thing. but NOTHING HAS BEEN HAPPENING. ITS BEEN HOURS! i tried to plug it in to my computer but iTunes wont show it on the source panel so i cant reset it from there, maybe i just cant find it in iTunes? PLEASE HELP! i dont want to have to send it in to apple, but i may have to if this persists!

Touch connectivity problems - please help!!!

Hi.
I've got an 1st gen 8Gb Touch that has been fine for ages until now !
Safari can't open a web page - I get the message "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server". Also Mail, YouTube, Weather and Stocks don't update.
It is showing I'm connected to my WiFi network and all the other computers in my house can connect to the internet without any problem. I haven't changed anything on mt router or Touch from yesterday when everything was working fine
I've just tried restoring the Touch through iTunes but this hasn't solved the problem I'm afraid
Thanks for any help
Mark.

Have you tried resetting your network settings?
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Even though you just restored the iPod, try this step if you restored it from your backup vs. setting it up as a new iPod.
If that doesn't help, try powercycling your router. Just turn it off for about 10 seconds, turn it back on, check your Wi Fi settings to make sure you're connected, and then try Safari/other apps again.

IPod Connection Error -- Please Help

Hey there -- I'd love it if a Mac genius could help me out with this. I recently gave my 4G iPod to my roommate when I got a 5G. I tried to connect it to his iBook and it stopped updating after about 70 songs. I reset the iPod's software to factory settings and it still happens.
He's got an 833MHz G3 iBook, and I'm connecting a 4G iPod that's never given me any problems.
iTunes tries to update for a while, then gives me a message that the copying failed and that the iPod cannot be read from or written to. But it did copy a few songs before failing, so it's not like nothing was copied.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Does the iPod mount? Make sure it is in disk mode
from iTunes prefs. Open disk utility and you can try
erasing and reformatting if your iPod is visible as
one of the HDs.
After you reformat with Mac OS Extended (journalled).
Try running the updater and restore again.
Is there a good charge on the iPod?
I just did that and I thought it worked, but then I got the same error.
I used Disk Utility to reformat into Mac OS Extended (journalled) and then I used the iPod Updater to restore to factory settings. When I plugged in my iPod, it transferred about 300 songs, then stopped with that same error message.
Yes, the iPod is fully charged.
Wow, what else can I try at this point?

IPod Connection issue - Please Help...!

I have a strange problem! My iPod does not connect (any more) to Windows (and hence not iTunes). I have seen lots of other people raising this problem, but mine is slightly different. What happens is that when I connect the iPod, it IS initially picked up by Windows (Vista), the computer makes a 'dun 'sound, and if I'm quick, I can see it in the Devices area (under Storage). But then within a second or two there is another 'dun' sound, anmd the iPod disappears. It never gets as far as saying 'unrecognised device'.
Incidentally, the iPod (event though not recogised) does charge up through the USB port, and (incidentally) other devices (e.g. pen drive) work on the port.
Any GURU's out there that can help me. I'm desperate! I need some podcasts!!!
Thanks

Go to your "Device Manager" which is under the Hardware tab in System (at least on WinXP). There, you'll probably see the device is having an issue, a yellow "!" or a red "x". First, try updating the driver, if that doesn't fix it ... delete the device from the system. Then restart and reconnect it, let windows automatically install the device again, and it should work again.
I don't know why this happens, but if you look carefully through the forum here, you'll see it seems to be happening quite a bit with Windows XP and Vista.

Really annoying Internet Connection problem, please help!!!

At first my macbook ran perfectly, but about a month ago i started running into this problem. Everytime i boot my computer up at home it acts like im connected (bars...it even checks my email using gmail notifier which is running)...then after about 20 seconds or upon opening a browser it boots me off.
-if i use the pulldown menu to get my network it fails to connect, if i hit reconnect after that it fails to connect and i have to restart in order for it to work.
-the only way i can get it to work is from the pulldown go to "open internet connect" then from that pulldown select my network.
does anyone know what the problem is here? it is terribly annoying to to be able to just boot up and surf.
another, not terribly important question as i dont use windows much...if im using the mac side, then reboot onto windows my internet dies after about 2 minutes every time. If i just boot up windows without having been in mac first it doesn't do this. (and the only fix is to unplug and then plug back in the router).
thanks for any help,
Jeremy

I am seeing a similar problem at home.
We have two existing PowerBooks and an iMac G5 which all connect to my Airport Extreme basestation with no problems.
We just got a MacBook Pro which is having a lot of trouble staying on the airport wifi network. It keeps dropping off and when I attempt to reconnect, it gets an error doing that and offers to retry. The retry always fails.
This seems to happen if the MacBook is idle for a time and comes back up. I am running the airport environment as pure 802.11G only with WPA encryption. This feels like it is an issue with the wireless card in the MacBook Pro as our other machines in the exact same area do not have the problem.

Oracle connection problem - please help

Hi.
On my Win2k machine I first installed Oracle Developer 6.0 in C:\ORANT.
After that I also installed Oracle in C:\ORACLE.
I always used sqlplus C:\ORACLE\BIN\SQLPLUS.EXE till now. Now I have to
use Forms builder to complete my homework. The problem is that I can't
connect to my Oracle database with Forms builder.
I try to solve my problem by comparing runs of C:\ORACLE\BIN\SQLPLUS.EXE
with C:\ORANT\BIN\SQLPLUS.EXE (from developer tools). So I execute:
- sqlplus my_user/my_pass@testconn
in each directory. In the C:\ORACLE\BIN (using sqlplus that come with
Oracle database) all works fine, while in C:\ORANT\BIN (using sqlplus
that come with development tools) I get an error:
- ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
I try to fix the problem by editing copying connection data from
C:\ORACLE\network\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora to
C:\ORANT\NET80\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora, but this didn't help.
Can someone help me?
My tnsnames.ora:
TESTCONN.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = MYSID)

Hi Damir,
Basically, it's possible the NLS_LANG parameter for your
database install is invalid or isn't a available default
value. This is a known problem.
I didn't any specific about one connection route working
and the other not, as in your case. However, I did find
some information on this problem when connecting through
Developer to a DB install.
The quick fix is to ensure your client initialisation
files have the 'NLS_LANGUAGE' parameter commented out.
If the client doesn't have an "NLS_LANGUAGE" parameter
entry the client and server use the language parameter
indicated by the server.
If that doesn't work (or you want to keep this parameter)
check the NLS_LANG parameter in the DB using your working
SQL*Plus connection. Try a default value like:
AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
Also, you can try this:
SELECT * FROM sys.v$nls_valid_values;
Whatever you set for NLS_LANG should exist in the values
returned for this query, otherwise you'll get the error.
Unfortunately, resolving NLS_LANG issues is not always
this easy. If commenting out or changing the parameters
above still doesn't fix the problem, it is possible you need to reinstall the DB and choose the default language option. How you do this depends on the installer options
for DB version you are using.
One last point - I suggest you post your query to the
Forms & Reports forums here on OTN too. This forum is
ideally for Designer, rather than Developer questions.
Hope all this helps.

Dominic

ITunes connection problem, please help

Dear Apple-forum members,
Yesterday I tried to sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes (Windows 7 64-bit). When it was at step 3, Windows gave me the message that iTunes did not respond, and shuts it down. While this happened, my iPhone was still in the sync mode but didn't do anything, so I cancelled it.
When I tried to sync again, I got error 0xe8000065. After a restart, iTunes doesn't even know that the iPhones was connected, although my phone WAS showed inside 'My Computer' (so my computer DOES recognise my iPhone).
I deleted the adapter, and reinstalled it again. Same issue.
I connected my iPhone with another computer, and reconnected it with my own computer. Now I get another error 0xe8000001.
I deleted and reinstalled iTunes, set iTunes as 'administrator', but also the same issue.
Anyone having the same problem.
How can I solve this?
I use:
Latest iTunes version 64-bits
Windows 7 64-bits
iPhone 4 iOS 4.3 (not jailbreaked)

You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect it to your new computer and restore it via iTunes. Note that you will lose all content on the iPod. You can redownload apps at no additional cost provided you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.

Hi, I finally solved this problem, the JDNI entry value is not configured properly for the session bean that's built for the service end point.
Changed JNDI value, and use that value in the service locator to look up the session bean home, it worked.
