IPod Folder is popping up

Whenever I sync my iPod to iTunes, an iPod folder pops up that contains folders such as "contacts", "calendar", etc. It really doesn't do anything, just a pain to have to close it. How can I stop this folder from popping up each time I sync. It only started doing this after I downloaded 9.1.

Yes, Me too, just started at 9.1. It's annoying because it means that you can't eject the Ipod until you've closed the window - Is if it isn't already irritating enough that you have to Eject your Ipod, rather than just being able to disconnect it!

Ipod folder on desktop wont go away

I am not sure what generation my shuffle is but it is the little one that clips on and it is purple.
I named it Lilapod. There is a folder on my desktop that says LILAPOD. When I click on it nothing happens. When I drag it to the trash, the trash can turns into an eject key but nothing happens when I put it there. If I eject my shuffle through the eject button in itunes, the folder is still there. It does not show up in the finder window as an item on my desktop. Weird. Can anyone help me get rid of it or do you have any idea why it is there?
Thanks

If you relaunch the finder the phantom iPod folder should disappear.
You can do this by holding down the option key and right-clicking the finder icon in the dock, or by ctrl-option left-clicking the finder icon in the dock, and selecting "Relaunch" from the pop-up menu.

How do I delete the Ipod folder cache?? (in ilife '08)

just got an ipod and thought it would be fun to have all my pictures on it... not knowing that itunes makes a complete copy of all my pictures (25gb) in iphoto: iTunes constructs a photo database on your hard drive in order to make photo syncing fast when you add new photos in the future.
now this completely ate all my reserve hard drive space on my laptop and now I don't want pictures on my ipod...so I deleted them... but the itunes photo database still exists on the hard drive of my laptop... not giving me back the 25gb of hard drive space I really need!
someone helped me to find the following link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300225
but when I search the folder ipod folder cache I get the same folder as iPhoto Library,
this is what I get: users/me/pictures/iphoto Library
when I click it to open my iphoto opens...
so how can I delete the Ipod folder cache with iphoto '08 7.1.1

I found the answer....
go to the folder of your pictures, then either right click (or ctrl + left mouse) on iphoto library then click show pakket, then you will find the Ipod folder cache which then can be deleted...

Why "Drag the Firefox Icon into the Applications folder" always pops up?

i follow the steps shown to install firefox on mac. Firefox is working well except every time when i lauch it, "Drag the Firefox Icon into the Applications folder" always pops up? Can you help me solve the problem?
Thank you!

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Disable Download folder from popping up

Hello all
I'd like to know if it is possible to disable the Download folder from popping up every time I start a download?

Not without removing it from the Dock. If you do remove it, it can be accessed from the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon.

How can I stop the E:/ folder from popping up?

I would like to know how I can stop the E:/ folder from popping up everytime I perform an action e.g. transfering songs, and deleting songs from library.

This is likely due to an extension. For example, the Web Developer extension has a setting to open the error console, and some mouse gesture extensions have been known to open the error console.
To track down what extension is causing this for you, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

HT1414 when i plug my ipod in nothing pops up?

When i plug my ipod in nothing pops up is there another way to restore your ipod on itunes or is there a way to fix this issue and have an icon pop up?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

However, I noticed that now, everytime I turn on my mac and log in, a folder pops up (specifically the folder MacOS)
Is there a way to stop this folder from popping up everytime I log in?
P.S. I use an Early 2011 Macbook Pro 13" at 2.7 Ghz, if thats of any help.
Thank you!

when i plug in my ipod classic it pops up ipod corrupted and i should restore the ipod but when i try it pops up unknown error 1415?

My suggestions, when Restoring the iPod.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC.
Disconnect all other USB devices, except the mouse and keyboard.
Stop all other programs except iTunes.
Good Luck!

How do I get the iPod folder to stop poping up when I plug it in?

Every time I plug my iPod into my PC the folder shows up with like contacts and calender folders in the window. It never did it with any of my other iPods but this video one always pops up when its pluged in but I don't know how to get it to stop.

Do you have disk use enabled? If so, disable it.
Check iTunes/edit/preferences. With the iPod connected of course. : )

Interesting ways to solve problems of "Sad iPod" & "Folder icon"

First allow me to post here this article which you may read it the past. But these problems are FAQ ...
I have to mention that I am not a techician, I may not understand the reason behind, I could be wrong and my suggestion may not work in your case. But, I must say that all the suggestions I made are basically from my past experienece fixing more than 10 iPods (from my friends and family members). I do not and have no intention to make a suggestion purely from what I heard and read (otherwise I would indicate). These have been tested and proved to work in my cases. I also have to deal with iPod problems such as:-
1. Sad iPod
2. Folder with exclamation mark
3. iPod failed to be recognized by the computer
4. broken iPod with 'clicking' sound
I can simply post a link from the apple article - which would suggest you to do a Reset and Restore actions, however, most of the users would agree with me that the iPod with the aforementioned problems would not able to get mounted with the computer. In that case, how could you do a Restore. Should I just suggest the user to send their iPods for repair?
I have tried myself with different ways, and I discovered 2 tricks to solve the above problems. First, we must understand what is the problem behind - in my opinion, the problem mainly caused by the head of HD of the iPod getting stuck at a certain point and unable to read the sector properly. If an iPod is an external Hard Disk, how are you going to fix it, I believe that all of us would suggest one to do a Reformat. Right, but unfortunately, the iPod could not be mounted, so what next? I find an interesting way - when the iPod is formatted in PC and connected with a Mac computer, it will "Force" mount, then why not do a Restore there. And once it has been completed, re-connect it with your original PC, and this time with the iPod being formatted to a different format, a window will pop up, indicating that it cant read the iPod and ask whether you would like to do a reformat. Then open the iPod updater and click Restore (back to PC version). Again, interestingly, it works the other way as well i.e. Mac's iPod fixed with a Window based PC.
Regarding the suggestions of hitting the back of an iPod or dropping it from the waist height to the carpet. Please do not laugh, they do work, and please do a search in this forum, there are some successful cases being reported.
But I must say that normally I do not suggest fixing it this way - unless the user's iPod is no longer covered by the warranty, and they cant find a Mac computer. Then, as a last resort, I will make this suggestion cauciously.
I understand that there are people who do not agree with my point of views, but I purely do it for the base of trying to give some help. Again, I only make suggestions that have been proved successful in my cases before.

4th Gen iPod, folder error, wont show up in itunes but says do not disconne

Ok so here's the deal: when I turn on my iPod I get the folder with the exclamation point. Sometimes it does come up. So i then try to update m iPod by connecting it to my computer, with no such luck it freezes iTunes up until i disconnect it. It sits in the do not disconnect state until it is disconnected. I can't even get it to show up on the computer so I am not sure as to how I would restore to factory settings. Please help!
R.I.P Zachary's iPod 2004-2008

I found a thread that referred me to this support page:

I haven't tried Apple's suggestions yet, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
Good luck.

IPod: Folder icon -- Disk Mode -- won't mount on desktop or iTunes

Hi all.
I'm getting a folder icon with ex point on my iPod (see my pic for version). Reset doesn't work. The solution to that is to restore but when I plug into my computer it doesn't show up so I can't restore. Then it goes into "Disk Mode."
Anyone have any ideas?

What about the Hardware? I had a similar problem with my iPod 10G scrollwheel not mounting in Finder or being recognized in iTunes. I read all these posts, did the powerdown/uplug thing to reset the FireWire port, refreshed settings, etc., all to no avail. Then the iPod wouldn't even take a charge. In digging around for repair options on the web, I discovered a site where they said that the #1 killer for scrollwheel iPods was faulty connections on the FireWire socket to the main board. With all the plugging-in and unplugging I did trying to get the iMac to see the iPod, my connector now would slide a few mm forward with a light pull. More searching revealed someone who described how to DIY fix the connector, so I figured I'd try it and ... TA-DAA. Back to life, hello iTunes6, life is good. If you are up to the task, check out: homepage.mac.com/toj/PhotoAlbum20.html for step-by-step pictures. PDAsmart.com gives the details about the bad FireWire connector, and does a fix for $50. Be advised the soldering is on fine pitch surface-mount pins, so you need a steady hand and patience.
Good luck!

When I plug my iPod in nothing pops up!

You know when you plug an iPod in and that little window pops up and it let you import your photos? That won't pop up for my iPod touch 4th generation. I am plugging it in to the USB port on my computer and I want to import my photos and that little window does not pop up.

Did you try this:
