Ipod disconnects during song transfer--HELP!!!

while i am updating my ipod with music, it will automatically disconnect itself from my PC, and of course, the update stops. it's frustrating. does anyone think it is worth it to send the ipod in for repair? i would rather fix it on my own, and with the help of others.
thanks to whoever might be able to help!!!

Your computer probably has more than one USB - try a different one.
USB, I think, has a better record on this than Firewire. Bad Firewire ports are common - wouldn't hurt for you to try a different USB before trying more complicated stuff.
Do you get any messages when the iPod disconnects? Have you updated to the latest XP itunes and iPod updater?
Have you restarted XP, lately? SOmetimes it helps to start fresh.

  • My iPod skips during songs and is very delayed. I did the restore option multiple times but my problem persists. Help!

    I have an iPod touch 2nd generation and therefore I can not download the new software. I did the restore option multiple times and my iPod still skips in the middle of songs, suddenly takes me out of a playlist, and is extrememly delayed. Anyway I could fix this?

    If you already restored to factory defaults/new iPod then it appears you have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and hear what they have to say.

  • Ipod resets during song update

    When I connect the iPod to the PC and start updating songs, the ipod reboots after a while.
    Not just that, but the ipod will show something like 1gb of used space and only 50 songs (just an example, it hasn't gotten this serious.)
    worst... when this happened the first time i tried restoring the ipod, and it died. updating the firmware resulted in an ipod with only manual disk mode accessible.
    i've tried both frontal and back USB ports, nothing worked. any ideas ?

    Quoting the following page : http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=330174&sd=RMVP
    a. In Windows Explorer, right-click your hard-disk, and then click Properties.
    b. Click the Hardware tab.
    c. Click the hard disk, and then click Properties.
    d. Click the Policies tab.
    e. Click to clear the Enable write caching on the disk check box, and then click OK two times.
    did this to the iPod and everything worked fine while transfering 500 or so files.

  • IPod pauses during songs

    My iPod (5th Gen) frequently pauses for about 10 seconds while playing songs. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Have you tried the 5 R's yet? http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    It seems like you might need to restore your iPod and or re-install iTunes.

  • HT201413 I keep error 9 when i try to restore my Ipod 5.It seems to be that my device disconnects during the restore process, then error messege pops up. I have updated the security settings on my pc and it still doesn't work.

    Error 9 pops up when trying to restore Ipod 5. The problem seems to be that my ipod disconnects during the restore process. My ipod is stuck in restore mode so I can't access its update serever. I have already updated my pc and its security settings. Is there anything else i can try?

    Hello AS234,
    This error is typically indicative of a conflict with installed security software.
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.

  • In the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops.

    i have updated my ipod 4g to ios 5.0. everything went great, but something is not right cause sometimes in the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops. help-me, what should i do?

    It occurs with both ripped songs and ITMS songs, but not always the same songs. Just this morning, I had a song skip ahead, then put down the ipod for a few mintues, came back and that same song did not skip ahead at all. I've been on a stretch now of about 20 songs with no skipping whatsoever. Hmmmmmm....
    I've used all the five "R"'s multiple times to no avail. It just seems so random, it frustrates me.
    Thanks for the help, King

  • [solved] iPod Classic disconnects during transfer

    if I transfer more than a couple songs at a time, my iPod Classic 160GB disconnects during transfer. on Lubuntu, I could get away with about 40 tracks at a time, now it disconnects if I do more than a couple. I'm not sure the issue, lsusb says I'm using a usb 2.0 port
    [ tye@t: ~ ]$ lsusb -s 001:008 -v | grep -i bcdusb
    bcdUSB 2.00
    one more detail: when the USB disconnects during transfer, it's no longer visible in lsusb, where as when I eject it it still remains visible.

    edit: the answer apparently is just to use dmesg
    You ran journalctl as a regular user and not as root.

  • Ipod keeps disconnecting during sync

    Just adding my issues to the pile. Same as many other, I consistently have my 80GB Classic ipod disconnect with the "wrong volume in disk" message. It will make it through about 2100 of the songs before it stalls out and disconnects.
    Every time it happens, the ipod gets stuck in sync mode, even after ejecting the ipod in itunes, and I have to disconnect it. When the ipod comes back up, there are usually 0 to 7 songs on it, and when I connect it to itunes, it shows 15GB of "Other" data, which is what should have been the songs.
    I have tried the fix apple posted for the -50 error, didn't work.
    I've tried syncing automatically
    I've tried syncing manually (both in one large batch, and in many multiple smaller batches).
    I've tried turning off album art prior to syncing.
    I've tried syncing across USB 1.1 and 2.0, both with older ipod cables, the new cable that came with the classic, and a 3rd party cable.
    I've tried IDing the specific songs that are loading when the ipod hangs and disconnects, thinking they might be corrupt, and then deleting them, and after restoring the ipod and syncing again, it will hang again, this time with a song that loaded just fine the previous time, so there appears to be no rhyme or reason to it as far as the song files are concerned.
    I'm about to try uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, but I doubt it will help.
    How did things get so bad from the 5.5 to the classic? This is crazy.

    Just an update:
    I took the iPod to work where I have a much smaller library, about 5 GB (my iPod is an 80 GB model). I reset it and synced to the work computer and it worked. It seems that it can only handle a smaller database? I also ran some diagnostic tests ala
    http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
    It won't pass the FW / USB detect test. Perhaps the unit is faulty. In any case, my next step is to try to return it for exchange at Best Buy, though it is 5 days over the 30 day period. How convenient! Nothing about this exprience has been convenient. They should call this thing the iClod.

  • IPod random stopping during songs

    Hi folks, this is my first issue with my iPod since I got it, I have a 20 Gig iPod. Recently it has started to stop randomly during songs, pausing for no good reason. I've been looking for how to troubleshoot this issue, but I'm hoping someone can help me.

    that happened to me also, with the 20g. i was getting ready to call about it when it stopped happening. no idea why...

  • IPod freezing during transfer

    I recently updated my version of iTunes to 6.0.4 and since then I have been unable to update songs on my iPod (4th Gen 40 GB with click wheel). The iPod will just freeze at random points during the transfer and I cannot unmount from my computer. I end up having to just unplug it and resetting it. I have tried resetting it and then transferring songs, restoring it and then transferring songs, reformatting it to windows and transferring but to no avail. I have the latest version of the iPod Software and OS X. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    20" Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Having the same problem on my PC with 4th gen. iPod/20GB. I don't know if this started when I updated iTunes or did the latest iPod updater, as I did them on the same day.
    I consistently get through about 8 gigs (of 15 gigs) of the transfer (using Firewire) when the connection dies. What I have on the iPod at that point is all I get. To re-synch I have to re-format the iPod with the updater and reset the library.
    This is insane. The iPod is 10 months old. I'm sure it's a software problem since before the iTunes/iPod update it seemed to work fine.
    Unlike others on this thread, I'm not content to 'bin' the iPod every 10 months. If Apple will provide a fix for this, I'll happily re-consider my purchase of a video iPod, which I was looking into just as this happned. Right now, forget it. At least Microsoft supports their software with new updates after 90 days.

  • When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

    When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

    thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*
