Ipod connection with PC during update

Itunes keeps returning to the Apple logo part way through updating and Ipod connection disappears from Itunes. Ipod however thinks it is still connected and safely remove hardware won't turn it off. Battery seems to be fully charged. Does anyone know if this is a PC problem or Ipod and what to do?? Do I need to restore?

Aaaah, Suzanne.
I'm glad you write. I've been worried about you.
I have 26 pages of notes of things that I've tried to fix this problem.
Most recently I wiped out all apple software and reinstalled the software that came with my first iPod. I had uninstalled and reinstalled only down to version 4.7 prior to this. Going down to version 4.2 wiped out my music file database completely (songs still there but none of the very time consuming info like bpm, comments, subgroups, etc). I was heartbroken.
I spent a few hours today installing and testing other sync software like Winamp, MusicMatch, and windows media player software to synch to my iPod...and then had to decide if I wanted to convert protected m4p music to m4a or not. I don't want to have to resort to this, but I've already spent over 60 hours at my computer fixing this connection problem to no avail. It would be a help if Apple gave us more technical information to help us figure this out.
My brother has an iPod with this problem and he is just going to wait for a fix...he still has music on his. Mine was wiped out following the advise by Apple to Restore it.

My ipod connects with other computers but not mine.

my ipod connects with other computers but not mine.

Start here:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
iPod: Does not appear in Windows or iTunes and Device Manager is empty
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

IPod recognized, but hangs during update

So my iPod will show up in Finder and in iTunes, and automatic updating will begin. However, at random times during the update, sometimes 4 songs in, sometimes 65, the whole process will just hang. iTunes status screen gets stuck on flashing between "Updating iPod..." and Song 65 of 2054 and just flash between those two over and over.
Meanwhile, the iPod screen itself is also stuck and no longer flashing "Do Not Disconnect" -- it's a steady screen with none of the normal flashing.
Tried resetting, doesn't do anything.
Tried restoring, and it hangs after Authenticate asks me for my password to Restore the iPod.
I wind up having to just force disconnect and force quit everything and restart.
Anybody else have this problem? Thanks for any help you can give.
Oh btw, OS 10.3.9, iTunes 4.9, iBook G4.

I am having the same issue where it hangs during update -- seems to always happen around the 1800th song. Here's more specifics:
-I've got 7000 songs in my Library
-my iTunes Music folder is located on an external FireWire HD
My Mac has no problems mounting the iPod. No problems restoring with iPod Updater. No problems with erasing using Disk Utility.
I have tried the following:
1. Resetting and then restoring via iPod Updater.
2. Erasing/reformatting via Disk Utility, including zeroing out all data, and then restoring via iPod Updater.
3. Resetting into Disk Mode.
4. Manually updating songs.
5. Automatcially updating songs.
Nothing works. I have been troubleshooting this for about 8 hours now with no luck. No matter what I do differently, it always hangs around song 1800. I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes -- and I have tried this with several different user accounts and on different partitions I have set up.
When it "hangs," the iPod itself just makes a the "clicking" sound of a HD. I'm wondering if the HD is just bad -- but it came up with no errors when checking with Disk Utility.
Any more suggestions?

BB 9330 lost connection then died during update

Was updating bb9330 using bb desktop software. During the install process a dialog box popped up that said: "application loader was unable to connect with your device. Please re-connect your device, enter the password, if required, and click retry."
I did all that and hit "retry" - the blackberry started blinking red and the same dialog box came up again. Then got a dialog box "There was an error updating your software" It told me to disconnect the BB and restart computer and restart the loading process. I did that (and a battery pull while the computer was rebooting.)
I connected the BB to the computer by usb (it was still blinking red.) The update process started again from scratch and while it was installing at the reconnecting to JVM part about halfway through the progress bar I got the same dialog box as before: "application loader was unable to connect with your device. Please re-connect your device, enter the password, if required, and click retry."
I called Verizon TA and they spent about an hour going through all sorts of steps that went nowhere. We could not get the BB to do anything while it was blinking red and showing no display. They told me to plug it into the wall with the charger for an hour and if it was still blinking red to call BB tech support at 877-255-2377.
I called that number and could get nowhere with your automated voice system. NONE of the automated voice system fit my circumstances AND I COULD FIND NO WAY TO CONNECT WITH A REAL LIVE BREATHING HUMAN BEING.
So here I am trying to get some help in getting my Blackberry Curve 9330 to work again.
One lesson I learned was that if a Blackberry is working NEVER run a update. Over my last three years of using Blackberries I have tried running updates twice. The first time they sent me a new phone. Now here I am again.

Still nobody from Nokia answered ?

IPod/iTunes 6 hangs during updating

I've just spent most of a weekend trying to figure out why a 40GB click-wheel iPod will not sync with iTunes. I'm at a bit of a loss here. I know there are several (long) posts on update issues - perhaps this is just another case. Here's the low-down:
Gear:
* iPod 40GB 'click-wheel' model, 3.1 firmware (2005-09-23 update), firewire interconnect direct to iMac (no dock)
* iMac G4 1GHz, OS X 10.3.9, iTunes 6.0.1, about 1600 songs
Symptom:
iPod appears on the desktop and can browse folders. iTunes starts. Hangs during iTunes update on a random song. Usually <20 into the list - but sometimes anything up to song 1000. Flashing 'do not disconnect' symbol freezes on iPod LCD, iMac hangs (Activity Monitor indicates a >90% cpu load on iTunes process, generally requires a 'hard' restart to recover the iMac - even after force-quitting the iTunes process).
Tried:
* Reset iPod
* Restore iPod with 3.1
* Restore iPod with 3.0.2 (2005-06-26)
* iPod into disk mode and restore
* iPod disk verify and erase using OS X Disk Utility, restore firmware
* New firewire cable
* iPod into diagnostics mode - run most tests including HDD scan (all pass)
* iMac disk permissions verify/fix
* Delete iTunes preferences and restart - library rebuilds
* Copy music to a new location, delete all iTunes data, now start afresh and
use add to library to rebuild library
* Removed songs and entire albums that sync freezes on (just freezes on
another song)
* Checked out iMac firewire ports with iSight
* Discussed with Apple Tech guy at Genius bar, agreed pretty much all steps
had been covered. iPod exchanged believing something like iPod connector
to be the issue. No difference.
So I'm pretty much convinced at this stage the issue lies with the iMac software. iPod and cable have been thoroughly investigated and changed out. iMac firewire ports work with iSight.
I've seen some posts suggesting deleting and restrong from the 10.3.9 update the iPod driver (iPodDriver.kext). This seems pretty drastic! I'm hesitant to go get a Tiger upgrade - this should work with 10.3.9.
Apologies for the long post - but I'd be interested to hear views at this point.
Thanks

Hey, you the man. I just want to say thank you. I hooked up a just repaired touch wheel iPod to my son's g4 iMAC, and it kept hanging on random songs and even the one's it transferred, it did slowly. I tried everything everyone else has, I did restores and erases forever. And it kept hanging up, so I had to frequently disconnect the iPod to get control back of the computer. This morning I was on the phone with Apple tech for over an hour. His conclusion was that because some of the songs weren't purchased from the Apple Store, I needed to manually transfer each song one at a time. I had to go, so didn't get to try it until later today and same problem. Again I called Apple tech support. Guy was very nice, on phone with him for 90 minutes, he didn't think the first advice made much sense. He gave up in frustration when we couldn't get into the disk utility because iPod kept going to automatic update. He told me to call back tomorrow and speak to a specialist. He said he's never had this much difficulty with an iPod. After the call, I managed to get into the disk utillity and do the erase and repair but didn't do anything. When I finally deactivated the auto update, manually transferring the songs one at a time didn't solve the problem. I read your post, started up after disconnecting the iSight firewire cable, took a chance of activating auto update of songs again, and voila, it transferred all the songs (all 176 of them) in about 10 seconds, like a warm knife through butter. And as they said on Saturday Night Live, it felt "like butter." I will call Apple tomorrow and tell them they really need to do something about this. In the meantime, I'll keep iSight disconnected whenever songs are being transferred into the iPod.
Again, your advice is much appreciated. Thank you for the post.

TS1398 My iPod connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with airport or hotel routers. This model is no longer supported by Apple. Is there any way I can boost its ability to pick up Wi-Fi in public places?

My iPod Touch connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with Wi-Fi at airports or hotels. Is there anything I can do?

First what you want to do is connect to your wireless connection .
Click On Settings>WiFi>Turn WiFi ON. Make sure you are connecting to YOUR wireless connection , check what is the name of your ssid(wireless name) on your router.
Before you connect to your wireless connection check if your connection is secured or not. To do that follow, the steps above once you found your wireless.
If there is a LOCK image that means your connection is secured, from this point you want to get that WEP or WAP key from your wireless router.
Connecting to your wireless network with Ipod Touch
If asked for password enter your WEP or WAP key and click on Join button, wait few moments and then see if you are connected. Test with your safari browser.
Can't connect to wireless network?
Few things you can check:
Did you get an IP address from your wireless router?
Unplug the power from your router shut down your ipod touch. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your Ipod Touch.
with the router been in a cafe airport etc you need to ask them to reset there router
You are not getting an IP at all?
Are you sure you are connected to your wireless router?
Does your router have MAC address filtering On?
Did you enter correct Password (WEP-WAP key)?
Few more things to check...
Does your homepage work?
Did you try yahoo.com google.com ebay.com etc?
How about your YouTube do you get any videos?

Ipod connected with VW part to my car: right speakers crackles with music

It only crackles/buzzes with music and not in silent gaps and only my right speakers. I have checked and my my PC files play without any noise. My ipod plays fine with headphones and via hifi connect. My ipod connects at the base with the VW radio/cd player. My VW radio /CD plays correctly with radio and with CD so i presume its not my right speaker. All music is from CD sources and none from any downloads. NOte also it is the same whether the car is running or not. SO does anyone know why the right channel/right speaker has a crackle/buzzing when i listen to my ipod in my car. VW have not come with anything. I am new to the ipod. Any one have any ideas please?

Do you get normal stereo sound from your Nano when using headphones? If so then the problem is not with the iPod but with the car's sound system, or more likely the cable connecting the two.

Why does itune keep telling me it could not establish a connection with the software update server

i have an iphone 3g running on 3.1.3 firmware and every time i plug into my pc running windows 7 it says that it is contacting the software update sever then after about ten seconds it says that update failed could not establish a connection with the server i have tried to disable my firewalls completely and it seems that nothing works nothing is wrong with the iphone it sync's properly and works fine someone plz help me so i can update

Everybody is tryng to connect to apple,s servers. Try tomorrow, it will be quieter

Macbook pro freezes with iPod connected with lid closed

I've noticed that whenever I have my iPod connected to my MBP, and I close the lid, often times the MBP won't go to sleep, the latch light stays a constant bright. When I try opening the lid, fans and the hard drive are spinning, and nothing is responsive. I have to go with a hard shut down.
What's up with that?

Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
That will give you all the information on your Mac.
This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
Good luck!

Deskjet Advantage 3540 (Envy 4500): Computer won't connect with printer during software installation

I just bought this printer and I am trying to install it by using the HP installation CD but I am running into difficulties to complete the process. The problem is that the computer won't connect with the printer (but my printer connects fine with my Wi-Fi network) and installation does not complete.
The HP software installation process appears to go normally (at least no error messages are shown) but when it gets to the part where it asks me how I would like to connect to the printer (Wireless or USB cable) I get an error message when I select Wireless Mode. My printer appears listed but as soon as I select it, a dialog is shown stating that "network installation could not be performed".
Below are the dialogs and what happens (text is in portuguese but you get the idea)
Dialog 1: selecting wireless connection mode
Dialog 2: printer appears in list and I select it
Dialog 3: Error message is shown, no further details
Here are some more facts:
(1) Printer connect fines with my Wi-Fi network: the connection details are correctly shown in its display (Wi-Fi SSID and IP 192.168.0.6) ;
(2) If I go to a web browser in my computer and type in the IP address, I can access the printer's webpage fine;
(3) I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling HP software;
(4) I've resetted my router;
(5) I've executed "HP Print and Scan Doctor" utility and it states my software hasn't been installed (which I don't understand) and it tries to download HP software and install one more time and I get to the error.
(6) If I go to "Start" menu, I can see the HP group is empty (installation only creates icons on my desktop). See picture below:
My OS is Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate (Service Pack 1)
EDIT: I've just discovered the inkjet Advantage 3540 and Envy 4500 appear to be the same printer, each target to a different market.
Help is much appreciated as I tried a lot of things to make this printer work wirelessly with my computer but without success.
Thank you,
Joao Pedro

HT4972 ipod touch locked up during update and will not restore

My son was given an ipod touch by his cousin. He used it for a while and then decided to update the os. We followed the instructions but during the restore process the ipod shows the picture of cable connecting to itunes. It is connected but itunes does not see it and I can not get it to do anything else. I went to the apple store and spoke with them and they told me to do a hard reset and try again. I did to no avail. Does anyone have an idea of how to repair this???

Blackberry lose's connection to pc during update help please.

does anyone heave any idea why this is and how i can fix it?
thanks for any help.

While updating to the latest software upgrade, I
believe I unplugged the Nano too soon. As a result,
I have not been able to access the Nano via the
updater to reset the iPod, get it into disk mode, or
get iTunes to recognize it. The iPod boots and will
ask for a language each time. I then get the songs
menu and all songs are gone. I'm guessing corrupted
the disk because updater won't initialize The
computer recognizes the iPod as drive H, so I don't
believe it's connection-related. Thanks for your help
Hello,
I had more or less the same problem when updating to 1.1.1 my daughter's 2GB nano (the same operation with my 4GB was completely OK). I was in despair, when eventually found the solution in this forum (by the way, I think it's a bug, but your own fault...):
1) connect the nano to the computer, then close iTunes or any other program trying to access it.
2) through Explorer, click on the "external unformatted disk" (or something like that) which corresponds to the nano (drive H, you said);
3) right click (and be patient, it may take a bit), then select "Format" (don't select 'low level formatting') and run it. It will take a bit, but in my case at the end of the formatting iTunes automatically started and recognized the iPod, and everything was OK.
Of course, the music previously stored was lost.
Hope it helps,
Ivan
