IPod failing in every way possible it seems....

I haven't even owned my 20GB color ipod for a month yet. I was previously using it on a mac and it began acting up before I switched it to windows XP – it froze a few times and required me to reset it. After I reformatted it for windows yesterday, it was fine for a while and then just shut off completely. It showed the file with the exclamation point and the after I tried restarting or reformatting, it would just go to the sad ipod and then later back to the file after I tried restoring or restarting it. I ended up uninstalling itunes and the ipod from my computer and tried to start over, but still, nothing happened. I called apple tech support yesterday and they told me to restore it on another computer and try again and said that it was probably due to corrupt files, meaning that I would have to drag in all of the files manually rather than having it on auto update and check for corrupt files. I got it back up and working for a while and was even listening to music for a while and then it suddently stopped and began shuffling songs without playing them at all and of course, wouldn't shut off. I trying restarting and restoring again with no luck and had to switch it to hard disk mode in order for my computer to recognize it at all. The ipod updater on my computer said that it couldn't boot it and I tried reinstalling the updater and I can only get to the point where it's trying to reformat my ipod now. It just sits in ‘rebooting’ mode for hours. I left it for two hours to reboot last night and I ended up exiting with debugging errors:
“Microsoft Assertion Failed!
Program: …iles\Common Files\Install Shield\Driver\8\Intel 32\IDriver.exe
File: f: \VS70builds\3077\VC\MFCATL\ship\atlmfc\include\afxcmn2.inl
Line: 335
For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C ++ documentation on asserts. (Press retry to debug the application.)”
I’m assuming that this has to do with my virus scanner or firewall, however my virus scanner is out of date as of now and I tried to disable everything. Perhaps I doing something wrong. I’m going to try researching the error message but I really don’t understand what it means.
What should I do in this situation? I already used my technical support phone call yesterday. Is it possible to send it back to apple for repair/replacement? I was looking into it and read that if they decide it doesn't need to be repaired, they charge you 100 dollars, so I'm afraid of that, as I don't really have the money for that see that I spent all of my money on the iPod! Is this even the iPod...is this at the fault of my computer? Help - please!

Hey, troll. Figure it out yourself.
What kind of idiot thinks they're going to get help anywhere with an attitude like that.
Edit: Editing the insult out of your post won't help. You're too slow. i already saw it. As I said, figure it out yourself.

  • ITunes 10.4 on Snow Leopard failing in almost every way possible

    I just updated to the recently released iTunes 10.4 on my Mac, OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  I made the mistake of not cloning my drive just before the update, like I usually do.
    The new iTunes launches just fine, but is unfortunately almost completely unusable.
    Here is a running list of the ways in which I have thus far noted its failure.
    1.) iTunes fails to recognize my iPhone 3G, resulting in the inability to sync apps, music, podcasts, photos, data, etc. It fails to show up in the "device" list in the left hand column of the iTunes interface.
    2.) iTunes fails to recognize my iPad 2 with similar resulting problems noted above. It likewise fails to show up in the "device" list.
    3.) iTunes attempts to download updated podcasts to which I subscribe as per usual. Cool.  They completed download never registers within iTunes. The download status bar moves all the way to the very end where it then states "processing file", and stays there perpetually. The downloaded podcast never shows up in the podcast library within iTunes. If I quite iTunes and then relaunch it, the process will be repeated with identical results. However, I have also noted that if I navigate to where the actual downloaded files reside in Finder, I can see that they have, in fact downloaded, and I now have multiple copies relative to how many attempts were made to download them within iTunes.
    4.) Music/Audio CDs are no longer recognized in iTunes and thusly cannot be imported in the traditional manner. Although they show up as mounted on the desktop, they never show up in the iTunes interface and cannot be played through iTunes.
    5.) Playing videos is tweaked beyond the telling of it. This one category of problems requires separate sub-entries:
         a.- Playing videos, movies, TV Shows, video podcasts, etc can only be initiated in iTunes when the video file is selected through the List View. Double clicking on a video file within Grid View or Cover Flow will not initiate video play. The one exception is within Cover Flow. A video can be selected in the Cover Flow pane, and the 'play' button can be clicked in the upper left corner of the interface to initiate video play. Otherwise, the video must be selected from the List View.
         b.- Once your video begins playing, you are pretty much committed. You cannot exit out of this playback unless you quit iTunes. Video Playback automatically takes up the entire "full screen" view utilizing the entire iTunes interface pane, no matter how else you have the video playback preferences designated, either in iTunes preferences, the View menu options, or right-clicked video playback options on the video playback itself. The video playback has taken over, and you're pretty much stuck with it. You cannot collapse the video playback with the little floating circle 'x' in the upper left corner of the video frame.
         c.-  The floating control bar in the lower third of the video frame no longer functions. Keyboard functionality is disabled, so pressing the space bar no longer activate play/pause of your video. The only way to play or stop the video is with the play icon button in the top left of the interface.  But even if you stop the video, it's remains paused at full screen - even if it has played to the final frame of the video.
         d. - Once you have initiate video playback, or even completed video playback, you can no longer see or access any of the other elements within the iTunes interface. Your only hope at this point is to quit iTunes, and then relaunch to access other content.
    6.) The iTunes Store is no longer accessible. When clicking on the iTunes Store listing on the left-hand column of the interface, the interface window appears as though it will attempt to open your access to the iTunes Store, but it will not go beyond a large, blank, white interface window with the word "iTunes Store" in the middle of it, and the invitation in the upper right corner to "sign in" in small print - which, unfortunately will do nothing when clicked.
    As a means to fix the problems, I went back to Apple and separately downloaded the iTunes update .dmg, and re-installed with it, outside of the standard Software Update method I first used. Not fixed.
    I rebooted the system and repaired permissions multiple times.  Not fixed.
    Additionally, I deleted my iTunes preferences. Not fixed.
    On advice from another suggested fix, I deleted the iTunesHelper file from my Login items and manually re-installed it from the updated application package.  Not fixed.
    I've scoured the MacFixit forums, and these Apple forums, and while I've noted numerous references to folks having problems with iTunes 10.4, I haven't seen them nearly as comprehensive as I've experienced them today, but I hope someone out there has a suggestion as to a viable fix that may restore the functionality I enjoyed this morning, before applying this circus of an update this afternoon.
    I'm technically savvy about using my Mac and OS X, and if these problems stem from some type of user error, I admit I just can't imagine what it is or what I did wrong (aside from stupidly failing to clone a backup prior to update - allowing me to revert right back to the previous version of iTunes.)I would suggest that iTunes 10.4 update is a total dog, but that would unfairly insulting to dogs.
    Thanks for reading.

    Very many thanks to you, Putaro!  Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
    You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
    But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
    I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
    I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
    If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
    My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

  • Encountered just about every issue possible trying to sync music to iPod Touch after 8.1

    If you're having any sort of syncing problems after the updates, bear with me as I tell my tale. Hopefully you can find yourself relating.
    I have an fifth generation 64gb iPod Touch. Ever since I've updated to iOS 8 (then 8.1), I'm beginning to look at it as useless. I know there are all sorts of threads out there about people having difficulty syncing their music after the update, and I'm probably not covering any new ground, but I thought it was worth reporting every problem I've encountered and all the fixes I've tried.
    I have a large music collection. Around 7000 tunes. They're all safe and backed up to my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro. I was aware that updating the iPod to iOS 8 might cost me a considerable amount of storage space, so I did it cautiously. I did it through iTunes, and I had no real issues. It didn't take up the huge amount of space it did for others. But my music collection on the device became all sorts of screwed up. Suddenly I was missing entire albums and artists. What albums and artists were still there often only had the first track of the album. Many songs were kicked off the device itself and I had the option to download from the cloud (I assume that's what that button meant). For about two weeks, I was too busy to listen to music, so I put the problem out of my head.
    Last week I finally decided I needed to get around to fixing it. I plugged it into my USB port, and iTunes told me I was 20+ gb over capacity, with the 'Other' bar taking up most of the storage. I only had a few photos and apps on my iPod, but I deleted them anyway. I started going through my iTunes library and haphazardly deleted albums I figured I could go without. None of this even put a dent in getting more storage space. I quickly realized that I still needed to update my MacBook to OS X Yosemite, as well as get the accompanying iTunes update.
    After the (justified) hours and hours of updating everything (absolutely everything I'm discussing is on the latest update), I plugged my iPod back in, and surely enough, the capacity bar reflected the actual amount of music I had. I had a good nine or ten GB to spare. 'Other' was barely taking up any space. I was elated, so I clicked sync. iTunes quickly jumped to either Step 4 of 4 (Waiting for Changes to be Applied) or 5 of 5 (Preparing to Copy Items) and hung. I gave it close to 45 minutes, and nothing was transpiring. I tried over and over. I'm not syncing via wi-fi (although I did try that). I'm syncing manually. I tried every permutation possible. Syncing only checked artists and albums (checking all those artists, by the way, takes a good fifteen minutes), syncing the entire library. Everything. After reading about people having similar issues online, I decided I may as well reset my iPod completely and set it up as a new iPod.
    Again, I don't use my iPod for photos or apps, so I'm not having to worry about losing anything in the process of resetting. There's no need to restore from back-ups- all my music is in the my iTunes library. I don't really "do" iCloud, and any restore points on my computer are automatically done and unnecessary. After resetting, I tried to sync. Again, straight to the last step of the syncing process. I was patient, but clearly nothing was going to happen. I must have reset my iPod and set it up as a new device about five times. Finally, I got a sync to seemingly start working. I watched as all my music started turning black in the 'On My iPod' screen. I periodically checked the device itself, and noticed that, arbitrarily, I was only getting random tracks from albums, often the first track (for instance, I have every Beatles album, but I was getting one track per album on the device). When it finished syncing, I clicked on the tunes listed under 'On My iPod,' and found that many of them popped up with an exclamation point, indicating, I assume, that the song was unable to sync.
    I reset again. Multiple times. Trying everything. I finally decided to sync only checked songs, and I checked one artist (embarrassingly, ABBA). Surely enough, the full ABBA album synced fine. I slowly started checking more and more artists. It was working. I got all the way to the bottom and watched as everything started syncing as it should. Entire albums were showing up on my device. Half an hour later, everything was synced, and I couldn't have been happier. I disconnected the device and went to listen to some music, only to find that everything was gone. Everything that I just watched sync perfectly to the device. I had no content on the device. Nothing at all. I reconnected it, and suddenly I was grossly over capacity again (I wasn't at all when the sync had finished). The bar did not, at all, reflect the contents of the device (in fact, I had nothing on the device at this point).
    More resets. Again, I would get either no syncing at all, or only getting one or two tracks from artists. Finally, I called Apple Support while it was syncing again to explain the problem. The man said he's been getting vaguely similar reports. I told him that it appeared to be syncing properly as we spoke, but that I was confident I would lose all my music again once the sync finished. He stayed on the line, and bizarrely, out of nowhere, it synced perfectly. I disconnected the device, and I had a fully functional iPod again. For the past week, I've had no issues with it. After this successful sync, by the way, I was told I had 8.7GB of free space, which I would call accurate. The 'Other' was hardly there.
    This morning, I added some new albums to my iTunes library, so I connected the iPod and clicked sync. Nothing. The new songs showed up on the 'On My iPod' screen, but they were greyed out with the loading circle. I waited an hour as it hung at 'Waiting for Changes to Be Applied' or 'Preparing to Copy Items'- I forget which, but I became accustomed to both. I was only adding maybe fifty new songs, but no progress was being made in terms of syncing. They remained greyed out. Not wanting to reset the iPod, I called Apple Support again. The man remotely accessed my screen and seemed quite puzzled. He saw the almost 9GB I had to spare. He had me click some of the obvious settings I'd tried time and time again. Finally, he had me, for a third time, switch from 'Sync Checked Songs' to 'Manually Manage Music and Videos.' He and I witnessed the capacity bar immediately change to 42GB over capacity! 42GB! He accused me of legitimately being 42GB over capacity (I'm not mad at him- he was very nice, by the way), and I pointed out how ridiculous that was. He agreed. After more and more troubleshooting, I told him it was a lost cause, and my only hope was to reset the iPod again. I realized that, from now on, whenever I sync new music from my library, I'm going to have to reset the device and sync from scratch. I got off the phone with him and did just that.
    Two attempts failed, again hanging at those dang last steps. I was patient as can be, understanding how much music I had. An hour later, nothing. I tried once more, syncing artists slowly at a time, and suddenly, arbitrarily, it chose to miraculously sync perfectly. I walked away from the computer and iPod and took a long walk to clear my mind. I came back, and looked at the 'On My iPod' screen. Every song was black and on my device. I turned on my device, and... one track per album. When I clicked the songs that were allegedly on my iPod, I was getting exclamation marks, and they wouldn't play. The songs that sync and don't sync are entirely arbitrary and change every time. It's not a matter of corrupted files, I don't think. If it were, I would expect the same songs to be giving me the difficulties. The capacity bar offered an accurate reflection of what my device would be if everything were, in fact, synced. Even though only probably 10% of my library had made it to the device, iTunes told me that everything was synced and was taking up the appropriate amount of space. I disconnected the device, turned it on and off, quit iTunes, restarted my computer. I connected the device again, and the capacity bar now told me I had almost nothing on my iPod. I checked, and the iPod, once more, was devoid of content.
    I have no idea what to do. I'm at a complete loss. I don't get it. I've tried nearly every fix that has been suggested online. I've tried all the different ways of syncing. I'm not syncing voice memos. I don't have any strangely titled tracks. I don't have any tracks that are unattributed to an artist or album. I have no duplicates. I have OCD, so my iTunes library, though vast, is kept in tip-top shape, and everything is ordered and tagged perfectly.
    Wow. Hold the phone. I'm currently both overjoyed and even more flabbergasted. As I typed this long message, I left my device plugged into my computer. I didn't start a new sync- just left it plugged in. I happened to look at it just now, and, um, everything is synced. My iPod is working again. Still, this has become an ordeal that needs to be addressed. I'm scared to death of what will happen next time I want to sync new music to the device. I suspect more and more hours of resetting and fiddling with options. I want to stress enough that I'm positive this isn't a matter of me not being patient enough. Often times, I do indeed cut the sync short when no progress appears to be made, but I just as often leave it running for long periods of time.
    This whole thing leaves me very on edge. Even operating the device scares me, because I'm getting excessive lags, and I'm worried that at any moment, the music will be gone again.
    Anyone else going through this ordeal? Specifically these problems, or, like me, all of them at different times? Anyone randomly find that they're occasionally almost humorously over capacity? I'd like to hear your input. On my end, the only fix I've found is to just keep resetting the iPod as a new device over and over again until it eventually works properly. Again, this is pretty effortless (though time-consuming) for me, because I don't have any pictures or apps to restore. I use it solely for music. I can't imagine the stress of worrying about losing items other than music. Is this general and bizarre syncing problem just a bug that will eventually get fixed? Is Apple aware of it? When you've faced as many dead-ends as I have, it's hard to specifically articulate the problem to them. Can anyone relate or offer any fixes?
    Again, using a 64GB fifth generation iPod touch updated to 8.1. 2GB non-retina MacBook Pro. OS X Yosemite. iTunes 12.0.1.26.
    I also have a 64GB iPad 4, and I'm still debating whether or not to update it.

    Kind of a similar issue with me.
    I've got an ipod touch that I use for my music only.  The vast majority of what I have loaded in my iTunes library on my laptop is music I've imported into iTunes from my cd collection.  I have several albums that came from non-iTunes digital purchases (cdbaby, amazon, etc), and then guess a few hundred albums purchased from the iTunes store.
    Everything seemed to work fine with ios 7 but once I upgraded my ipod to ios 8  I started having sync issues.  My problem seems to be isolated to music that I did not purchase from iTunes (which is currently most of my music).  I'll sync the ipod with my iTunes library on the laptop and I end up losing all non-iTunes purchased content on the iPod.  The albums still 'show' on the iPod screen but once I select one to play it quickly scrolls through all the tracks and comes back to the screen showing the tracks with the red circle.  If I go check the number of songs on the iPod in the settings>general>about option it will now have deceased the total number of songs by the number of tracks that were on the album.
    I'm not a 'technical' type of user so everything I was trying to correct the issue was pretty much just change settings options in iTunes on the laptop and/or settings on the iPod without any real knowledge or confidence that it would help.
    Eventually I gave up and deleted all content on the iPod and restart it as a 'fresh out of the box' iPod. It took several attempts at that to get all my songs copied from the laptop back to the iPod. After several attempts I finally thought it might have to do with the iCloud feature on the iPod (since it was only syncing iTunes purchased items and ignoring everything else not purchased via iTunes I thought it might be trying to verifying the items before actually loading them).
    I completely set up the iPod again but used the option to not use iCloud (I don't use it to back up/store anything anyway). That attempt resulted in all my songs/albums syncing from the laptop to the iPod.  Everything seemed to working fine for the past few months but then it happened again the other day. I had purchased a cd and imported it into my iTunes library... plugged in the iPod to sync everything and it wiped out all the non-iTunes purchased content again.
    I deleted all the content off the iPod and did the 'out of the box' setup again and everything synced. Then this morning I purchased an album off of iTunes, hooked up the iPod to sync and again, it wiped out everything except my iTunes purchases.
    This is getting beyond frustrating.  The reason I've gone with apple all these years is because they are supposed to be 'idiot proof' for those of us that have a lot of knowledge of how/why all this works.

    I am not able to restore my iphone 4 after trying to install the new softwear. I tried every single possible way. What can I do?

    There are two ways that a backup can become encrypted:
    You chose to encrypt it, then forgot the password.
    If you have company-provided MS Exchange access your IT department has the option of requiring your backup to be encrypted. The first time you backed up or synced after installing MS Exchange you were prompted for a password. That is the password you need.
    If you don't have the password any longer there is no way to restore the backup.

  • Transfer songs from Ipod to computer? Any way possible at all?

    Hi all,
    I'm in a huge bind, I recently had to reformat my hard-drive and lost all of my songs, but I updated my touch before the format and now that is the only way possible to get those songs back onto my computer. I know the touch cannot be disk enabled so I'm just trying to see if I am totally screwed on this. Does anyone know any possible way to tranfer these songs from the touch to my laptop? Please help!

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. These one are advertised as iPod Touch compatible, they'll give you somewhere to start your research:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • My Ipod touch battery life depreciating, and it seems to coincide with my earphones no longer registering

    Hello,
    I have had a few iPod's over the last couple of years, and well I am starting to get bored of exchanging/purchasing a new one because of what seems like a reoccuring problem. My iPod's battery is dying... it no longer lasts a day even without use (I have taken off extra apps-I just have what came with my iPod on my phone, my bluetooth is disabled). This has happened to me before, I had reset my iPod. Reuploaded it from my back up as well as return it to manufaturers defaults and sync'd it as a brand new iPod and this has not helped. (Initially I thought maybe I had a corrupted file on there).
    I had taken my iPod into the Genius Bar, told me to do the manufaturers reset, even had an ipod exchanged. I was told that doing mini charges would 'teach' the battery that it was empty before it truly was. So I stopped using a car charger, I now use my iPod and let it die before I charge it once again, or at least have it below the 20% battery life before I will plug it in. And yet the problem still persists. I know I have time to take it in and have it looked over, but I'm tired of the same issue.
    This issue seems to come along with an issue with my earphones. I use the Skullcandy 50/50 ear buds that have been working on my iPod for months now. And yesterday I had been listening to my iPod in the car using the AUX port, have my iPod volume all the way up and my speakers down. Typically when I take out the AUX port cord and replace them with my earphones the iPod would change the volume level to what I was listening to last with earphones. But now it isn't doing that, and the controls for the pause, volume, skip/rewind no longer work.
    The Apple staff have been very kind to me, but as a customer I am getting tired of having to deal with this. I am just at my wits ends as this would be my 3rd iPod... so I think that it's me causing this but what could I possibly be doing to create this?

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective and not abused Apple will experience it with a refurbished one since it should be within the one-year warranty.

    I had the same problem. And to think I actually HESITATED at installing the update. Oh wait... this happened AFTER the update. Funny how often that happens, eh? But I digress...
    Anyway, I had two errors- initially the iPod stated my music library was somewhere else, and did I want to sync to that library. When I said yes, it reverted then to the "attempting to copy to disk"error. Further, iTunes showed that my iPod on the iTunes was EMPTY. However, my actual iPod hadn't lost any data. Confused yet? So am I.
    *Last ditch effort- I went back in, and updated all my permissions, did a permission repair and then a permission verify.
    * Also did a disk verify on the iPod to make sure it wasn't sick.
    *I also drug a new song into my library.
    *Changed from the USB plugin to the firewire. (Although I did this earlier in the day, and hadn't seen a noticeble change)
    * Opened the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. (should have done that a few hours ago)
    When my first pop up asked about did I want to sync to the mystery persons library, I said yes. (At the worst, I have all my music and could reimport all 30G of it, if necessary.) And immediately, the sync began, and began appropriately. However, it IS re-syncing every single song I had on the iPod to begin with.
    I suspect something nasty happened in the iTunes update, ever since the intel thing happened, the updates have been a bit sketchy. I really like Apple products, but I've gone through 3 iPods due to software meltdowns, and it's a bit frustrating.
    Good luck!

    imessaging on ipod touch doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

    Short of a reset to factory settings I've found making sure iMessaging is not left minimised helps. It doesn't seem to keep its connection. So, by closing after each use this helps. I've been doing this since I logged out of iMessaging at least 1/2 doz times and even changed my apple id pw as this had ceased to be recognised. I get fewer send failures now and don't have an inactive send button so much. Having said this its all a bit of a work around as iMessaging isn't behaving as it once did. If over time not resolved will do factory reset. All the best.

    My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city, so there are plenty of stations to find. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds when I try to listen to my music. I just got it for Christmas and already loaded it with songs.. What do I do?

    Push the headphone jack all the way in, you don't have it fully plugged in yet.

  • Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed.

    message on comp:
    Attempting to copy to the disk "IPOD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    help?

    The quickest way to correct this error USUALLY is to restore your iPod. Make sure you have all your Music and stuff on your PC for a restore will wipe clean your iPod and then use iTunes to transfer everything back to the iPod off your PC. follow the link below on ways to correct this and links to info about "Restoring" your iPod

  • "Attempting to copy to the disc "Bill's" Ipod failed. "

    Pop up reads "Attempting to copy to the disk "Bill's Ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
    This message continues to come up each time I attempt to move my music library from I tunes to my new Ipod Nano.
    Only a few songs will move before stopping and displaying the popup.
    Any help out there? Thank you!

    Right out of the box I encountered the dreaded read/write error with my new iPod Color, which I received the same day Apple announced the new iPod Video (sheesh!). I, too, tried everything from buying a new cable (FireWire), to resets, to firmware checks, even at one point downgrading iTunes to a version prior to 5.01. I even thought I got a defective iPod because nothing would sync after the error came up. What I finally noticed was that it always erred on the same track(s). To see if this might be the problem in your case, try selecting another sorting criteria for your library. For example, if you usually sort your songs by album title, try highlighting the song title column instead (just make sure that whatever way you sort the list it is NOT with the same criteria as you had last time you encountered a sync problem). As you re-establish the sync operation, watch the titles as they sync. If it looks like it is working again, it is because the iPod is no longer trying to read/copy/write the same faulty track (at least until it encounters it again in your library). Keep watching, though, and write down any title that precedes yet another read/write error. Next, delete the title immediately preceding the error from your iTunes library. (Note: It is not enough to uncheck the corrupt track, it will still produce the sync error until you remove it entirely from your library.) Eject the iPod and try again to re-sync. Repeat this process until all the corrupt or incompatible tracks have been identified and eliminated.
    BTW, the closest thing I could find in Apple's documentation is a support database article, ID: 301267. The article is for people who encounter the "-36" error while attempting to sync, but the part about corrupt or incompatible tracks apparently applies to just about any read/write failure. If Apple had simply bothered to include a section on sync troubleshooting in the user manual or iPod tutorial, perhaps we wouldn't all be developing migraines right now…. Hope this helps!

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...
    I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.
    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • If I lost my ipod is there any way i can track it?

    My Ipod touch got stolen a week after i got it so i had no way of adding any tracking apps to it. I would like to know if there is any way possible for me to track my Ipod with just the serial number.

    No. The SN will only allow you to indenify the iPod as yours if it is recovered.
    Apple will not help
    Change the passwards for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police.
