IPod doesn't recognize music files

I have an 80 gb iPod Classic that failed to sync to iTunes (10.4) library. I downgraded my iTunes to 9.1.2 and was able to sync the iPod, or so I thought. On the iTunes end, everything seems to be working fine, but when I unplug the iPod (only after it has been ejected properly), iPod shows no music in storage. When reconnected iPod to mac and browsing the iPod via Finder, I can see the mp3 files are there, and if I look in iTunes, iPod shows the storage space being used by the music files as OTHER. Tried syncing several times and each time same issue.
I had tried everything: changing sync cables, manually transferring the songs to the iPod, rebooting. PLEASE HELP!

I ended up restoring the iPod several times (and fixing the drive via DiskUtility), and batch-by-batch uploading the songs from iTunes to the iPod. For now it seems to work. Can't tell why it wasn't working in the first place.
Good luck!

IPods don't recognize music files on PC

Our ipods can no longer find the music files on the PC hard drive. We receive an error message that files can't be located, although they are still listed and visible in itunes. (Itunes can't play them either.) Have reset, restarted, etc. Have checked and set the location of music files in the preferences dialog box. Have copied music files to other drives, changed settings, no help. We have about 7000 songs, but the iPods "see" on about 250. Running Windows 7 on a relatively new Sony Viao.

Ipod touch and other recent ipod models are not "USB Mass Storage Class (MSC)" devices and therefore the music files cannot be seen by Samsung Wiselink. If the files are in the hard drive part of an iPod that allows hard drive mode they will be seen as will photos.
Photos on an iPod touch can be viewed via Wiselink if they have been transferred via iPhoto to the folder that mounts under "devices" when iPhoto and the iPod touch communicate.

I'm trying to e-mail music scores and audios, but I receive an error message saying Preview doesn't recognize the file format, regardless whether I use .mus, .pdf, or .mp3. I haven't come across Preview or this problem before. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to send music, scores and audio, as e-mail attachments, with a copy to my e-mail address. Whether I use .mus, .pdf, or .mp3, the error message says Preview doesn't recognize the file format. I haven't seen Preview, or had any problems, before now. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
Firstly, your country is detemined by several factors, including your phone's regional settings, your SIM card and your NokiaAccount settings, if you used this phone whilst abroad then you may need to check that your regional and account settings are up to date since you have arrived in Canada.
For services like Gigs, you should also ensure that the MixRadio app has access to your phone's GPS location as well as the main location being on in the phone settings. To check this, as well as Location being turned on in the phone settings, in MixRadio itself go to Settings>Location>On:
The concern with favourites may also be related to location, if the music from certain artists is available in Canada but not where the service might think you are, availability of content may vary from region to region.
If all settings in both the phone, your Nokia Account and the MixRadio app are correct, we may have to investigate deeper.
It is impossible to comment on your camera without seeing it, you cold have the phone checked by Nokia Care locally, but of course if it was supplied in Europe it will be covered by the European Limited Warranty which is not valid in Canada.
If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

For some reason, since last nite, my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold

my Ipod doesn't recognize when i have turned OFF the hold...it still reads as hold..any ideas?
thanks

A Reset (in link from previous post) is not a Restore. It does not erase the iPod. A Reset is THE method to "re-boot the whole system."
The reason for the Hold switch has nothing to do with turning an iPod ON or OFF. It exists because most iPods have touch-based controls. The Hold switch is there to lock the controls, in situations when the iPod is playing music and you don't want to inadvertently touch the controls while handling the iPod.
Pressing and holding the Play/Pause button turns an iPod OFF. But I hardly ever manually turn OFF my iPod (except for my iPod shuffle). I just stop playing music and leave it alone. The display backlight goes off by itself within a few seconds, and if the controls are not touched, the iPod soon goes into the same power saving mode as turning it OFF manually.

HT1349 I have recently moved home from the UK to the Cayman Islands, my PC in the UK has been destroyed as it was 240v but my ipod will now not sync with itunes on my new laptop can anybody help as my ipod holds all my music files

Now with a little more space, I believe this to be a simple fix just not for me! I have recently moved from the UK to the Cayman Islands and there lies the problem, 'voltage' ....
My UK PC was 240v and has now been destroyed so when I secured a new laptop 110v and downloaded itunes I was told by 'itunes' as my ipod was linked to another PC it would not/could not sync to my ipod. As the ipod holds ALL my music files this is a major drag. Can anybody tell me how to unassociate my ipod with my old PC so I can sync with my new laptop.
Regards Rob

All computers sold in the past 10 years are univeral insofar as voltage is concerned, so it may have been destroyed but not because of voltage. The right thing to do is to restore the backup that you must have made of your old PC to your new laptop. Then you will not lose anything when you sync the phone.

I can't import MXF files shot on a Canon C300 into FCP 10.1.2. I have the Canon plug in for MXF file to FCP import but FCPX still doesn't recognize MXF files when I try to import. Premiere works fine importing MXF on the same computer.

Russ and Luis,
I did uninstall and re-install Canon XF Utility and the Canon FCPX plug in. Still no luck. I checked the CanonXF64.RADPlug folder is on my computer in the Rad Plugins folder in application support This is where it is supposed to be as far as I can figure out.
Another piece of the puzzle is that footage shot on a Canon C300 in 2013 and I reimported today and it DOES import into FCP10.1.3. Footage shot on a different Canon C300 filmed this summer will NOT import into FCPX. The latter will import into Premiere. But I am trying to work in FCPX, but maybe I shouldn’t be??
Any ideas? (screen shots below)
Thanks.
Peace, Huey
FYI Here is what Canon says
"There is another trick that works sometimes though. Try uninstalling the plugin and XF Utility. Then, install the latest XF Utility, followed by the plugin, in that order."
I did do this but no results. Otherwise they say I need to wait for a new plugin.
Here's 2014 Canon C300 files does NOT import to FCPX
Here's 2013 Canon C300 files does import into FCPX. I thought it was Contents folder but another set of footage shot on C300 does import and there is no contents folder for that.

Cannot open CS6, it craves JBX-plugin, and my Mac doesn't recognize the file so I can't download

I wonder why CS6 is not complete when downloaded? Why should I have to download JBX? If needed it should be a part of Indesign. My Mac doesn't have a name of a file to open and download, so now I simply don't have CS6 and can't convert my book to Kindle for sales on Amazon.
Terribly disappointed!
/maria

I am using OS X 10.9.2 and I'm attaching the error message I get. I am
trying to install InDesign CS6 in order to convert my book to Kindle, but
Amazon's plug-in only works with InDesign CS6 NOT with InDesign CC.
I am attaching the Kindle Plugin also.

I can't import Nikon NEF (RAW) files. It says it doesn't recognize the file. Help.

I just installed Nikon Transfer and then View NX2 with Nikon Transfer 2 and successfully transferred over 300 RAW (Nikon NEF) files from my camera (Nikon D600) but Lightroom (v5.6) won't import them. It says it doesn't recognize the files. How can I resolve this?

Obsolete versions of Nikon software corrupt Nikon raw files slightly making them unrecognized in Adobe products.
You can reverse this corruption by using the utility from the following webpage:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
Basically you need to use Nikon software that is at least as new as your newest camera or don’t use Nikon software at all.

IPhoto doesn't recognize .jpg files and can't open it. What may I do now?

iPhoto doesn't recognize .jpg files and can't open it. What may I do?

a common problem is that you don't have permission to upload those files, but it is an easy fix
1) Finder
2) Users(it should have the account name on it)
3) pictures
4) right click on iphoto library then click info
5 on the bottom of the new window there should be a sharing and permissions tab
6) make sure you have permission to read & write
The only other problem I can think is that you are having problems with hard drive space. if so you might want to clean up your hard drive to free up some space. please let me know if that worked for you.

I installed Lion, now my dvd drive doesn't recognize any files on dvd. Please help.

I'm a photographer with tons on images on dvd and my dvd drive now doesn't recognize any files on any of my dvd's. Help!!!

After 3 trips to the Apple store this week, the issue is still unresolved. The photo dvd's open just fine on Snow Leopard, but are not recognized at all on Lion. I'm guessing since the DVD's were originally burned on a PC, they will no longer work. After finding out that PowerPC is no longer recognized by Lion and I can no longer use Nikon NX2 (Photo editing software), I will be re-installing Snow Leopard. According to the Apple store in Lancaster, Pa. there is no refund available for my Lion purchase. I have a ton of photo DVD's, most of which will not open since I've only recently switched to an IMAC system. It has made me think about returning to the PC world. I'm VERY unhappy with these developments and I really need to re-think my computer situation. I don't do much else besides photography. My purchases and time spent with my IMAC has aparently been a great waste.

How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

PSE 10 doesn't recognize raw file

Have been using PSE 10 on a four year old Macbook pro with no problems. Opens RAW file with no problem. Just installed the same PSE 10 on a new iMac, and PSE 10 editor says it can't open file because it doesn't recognize the file. Any suggestions?

The canon 5d mkIII requires the 6.7 camera raw plugin and pse 10 does support the camera 6.7 plugin.
When you went to Help>Updates from within the pse 10 editor, was there an updated version of camera raw listed for installing?

AIR app doesn´t recognize SWF files

Hi
I have done an AIR app (in Flex). One of the features of it needs external SWF files to be browsed in a text field. Everything has worked very well for couple of years, but now I got a report from a client who uses that app. He says that AIR app doesn´t recognize SWF files anymore. When he clicks browse button, a normal file selection dialog opens but all the SWF files are greyed out.
He send one SWF file to me and it worked well in my computer/AIR app. Anybody have any idea what may cause that? He has used my app a lot, and two weeks ago it worked normally. He uses mac, not sure whis version, quite new I suppose.

Hi,
That's odd that this just started occurring for the customer. A couple of things come to mind, first, are you using FileFiters when you call browseForOpen()? If you are, could you try a test where you remove them and then see if the swf's become enabled? Do the swf files have extensions on the mac? If not, try adding them and see if that makes a difference.
If you'd like, I can also give this a try since I have both platforms available to me. Could you attach or email me ([email protected]) some sample code and a sample swf that would illustrate the problem?
Thanks,
Chris

Doesn't recognize AVCHD files!

FCE suddenly doesn't recognize AVCHD files. I've been able to import using Log And Capture before. Now it suddenly doesn't even recognize the files. I dragged them to the desktop and still no luck. What the ****!!???

My issue is with the AVCHD recognition.
Background:
I have been using a card reader and popping the cards in there for import. Have not had any problems with this method up until this point. I have also copied the AVCHD folder to the desktop and imported from there with no issues. Suddenly FCE does not recognize either.
I did a complete reinstall of SL because I have been having a few other issues apart from FCE. I have done this with all previous upgrades of OSX on the advice of most Mac pros. Have not had any issues with those installs. With SL I did the upgrade without the complete reinstall. It seemed to work fine but I started running in to several system quirks. So to take that out of the equation I wiped the drive and did the clean install. So far so good. I back up my system drives at least once a month so I have everything saved.
However... FCE still will not recognize the AVCHD files, either from the card or from the desktop. I will try from the camera via USB.
Thanks again.
