IPod messed up after installing iTunes and iPod update...

Two days ago I updated my iTunes and iPod to the latest updates. Now my iPod makes funny noises that I can hear through the back (without any headphones or anything) and some songs will only play for about 30 seconds and then the iPod just freezes up, makes funny noises and I am unable to turn it off. I found that by holding down the 'select' and 'menu' buttons together, the iPod will restart. I have tried restoring my iPod and it still has the same problems. Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?

This is VERY similar to what's going on with my iPod, except mine will reset when I try to play certain songs.... I think Apple might have a few bugs left in their new software...

After installing iTunes and iPod, my computer will not turn off

I am running Windows XP, and have just installed my new iPod nano and iTunes. Now my computer will not turn off. When I select "Turn off computer" in the start menu, the computer goes through the usual process of shutting down -- then it restarts automatically every time! Once it has started up again, it sends an Error report to windows -- but they are not coming forward with a solution for this problem. It appears as a problem created by an "Unknown device driver". I now have to turn my computer off by the wall. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Try running the Combo update first ... OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo), and once it is successfully downloaded, then try to download 10.8.5.
Sometimes the combo will correct any minor glitches in the system and also ensure all necessary updates to that point are included.

CD/DVD Drive disappears after installing itunes and quicktime HELP!

When I have installed itunes and quicktime my cd/dvd player drive disappears?? Has anyone had this problem??

I have had exactly the same problem with my Toshiba Laptop running Vista Home Premium for 5 months. I have continually tried updating and checking this site for a fix, but haven't had a clue. My Son-in-law works for Microsoft and uses iTunes extensively and he can't figure it out either. Toshiba has no answers.
I am beginning to believe that Gates has scored one-up on Jobs by planting something in Vista that crashes the drive when you try to use Apple software.

After installing iTunes 10.5 update i get the following message when trying to play any song in my Library "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" how do i fix this??

I have an iPod Classic and work on Windows 7.
i recently installed iTunes 10.5 update and since then i cannot play any of the songs in the Library - i get the following message
"The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
what happened to all my songs (almost 2000) How can i get them back into my music library?
Please help - i do not want to spend another week downloading all my cd's onto my computer !!!!!

Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

I am trying to put the music from my ipod onto my new computer. After installing itunes and connecting my ipod touch a message comes up saying that my ipod is already synced with another library. What can I do to sync it with a new library?

I recently got a new computer and got rid of my old one. I am trying to put the music from my ipod touch onto my new computer but keep getting a message saying that my ipod is already synced with a library and cannot be synced with more than one. How do I access that library on my new computer and if I can't are their other ways for me to put the music on my ipod into my new computer?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

Bought new iPod but unable to install iTunes and Quicktime, so what now?

I tried to install iTunes, but when it gets to the Quicktime module, it stops working and says the following: This installer cannot upgrade QuickTime 7 for Windows Public Preview. Please uninstall it first."
OK, so how do I do this. There is NO Quicktime listed anywhere in my Add/Remove folder, and no Quicktime shows up when I run the word through the FIND search in Registry Editor.
If I cannot resolve this, I'll have to return the iPod to Apple as an unworkable gadget.

I have just found a way of sending some feedback to
Apple.
Will be interested to see what they say to this>>
I find it ridiculous that the cost of these ipods
does not include some on line support from Apple. We
have to try and rely on other users in discussion
forums. All I am finding is there are loads of others
on thee forums with similar problems unable to find a
solution.
Please advise.
Also found a number for 'tecnical support' after 5
days trying....
0870 876 0753
Will give them a 'polite' call tomorrow!!!!
Thanks for the phone No. I was having a problem with Quicktime which I couldn,t resolve by checking the discussion forums but that phone No. was a great help. Alhough you are talking to a call centre somewhere in the world and have to be careful with the language difficlties it was a help and it,s a shame Apple don't make this No. more easily available, so well done for finding that No.
You can go days or even months for a solution and I think Apple should have an online Tech. expert to help out.

Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

The software you downloaded is for Mac OS X; to get the Mac OS 9 version of the software, download the file for your language from the following pages (iPod, iTunes). The Mac OS 9 iPod software only works for first and second generation iPods, and requires 9.21 to run. Mac OS 9's iTunes will only sync first and second generation iPods, as well as third generation iPods which are running version 2.0x of the firmware.

IPods not recognized after installing iTunes 7.3

After installing 7.3, none of the iPods in the house (a Mini, a Nano and an iPod Photo) will boot up into iTunes. I have gone through the first four "R"s, but am unable to even attempt the "restore" as it requires that iTunes recognize my iPod.
"1) Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
2) Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
3) After a few moments, it will appear in the Source list in iTunes."
By "Source list", I assume they mean the entries under the heading "Library" (Music, Movies, etc.) because that's where the iPod usually shows up, right?
In any case, none of our iPods will show up anywhere on the iTunes.
I have the installation disc from our most recent purchase (the Nano last fall or summer, IIRC). Would it work to re-install it or does anyone have any other suggestions?
My apologies if this has been covered here. Thanks in advance from an Apple Discussions newb.

macfixit.com has instructions on how to go to oldapps.com and revert to iTunes 7.2 :
iTunes 7.3 (#3): Downgrading to iTunes 7.2; Deleting and restoring the library for -50 errors; more
Downgrading to iTunes 7.2 For many serious issues with iTunes 7.3, the only viable fix is reversion to iTunes 7.2. Unfortunately, Apple does not maintain old versions of iTunes. As such, if you did not keep a copy of the iTunes 7.2 installer (as described here), your options are limited. Fortunately, OldApps has a mirrored copy of iTunes 7.2 available for download.
In order to downgrade to iTunes 7.2, follow these steps:
1. Delete the following files:
The iTunes 7.3 application (located in /Applications)
com.apple.iTunes.plist (from ~/Library/Preferences)
iTunes.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
iTunesX.pkg (from /Library/Receipts)
2. Download and install iTunes 7.2

Ipod not recognized after installing itunes 7.3

I've upgraded to itunes 7.3 on my Windows Vista desktop and now none of my IPODs are recognized and I'm getting the following message:
"your IPOD needs to be reformatted for use with Windows"
I've double checked and my IPOD shows that it is formatted for windows. And, when I go to try to restore my IPOD, I get an error message saying that it cannot be restored.
I do NOT have this problem on my Windows laptop - everything works fine with iTunes 7.3 on my laptop.
Is this a problem with Windows Vista and iTunes 7.3??
Does anyone have any ideas?

After installing itunes and restarting computer, blue error screen comes up

After I installed itunes 9 and restarting my computer a blue error screen came up. I had to restart my computer in safe mode and restore. Now itunes will not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling various itunes, ipod, apple...etc programs and i get the blue error message again. HELP!

What version of iTunes is installed in the Apple default location ..... /Applications/iTunes ???
Drag the iTunes icon in the Dock to the Desktop and release; it will be deleted with a poof! Don't worry it's only an alias.
In your Home Page ~/Library/Preferences/ ......... drag to the Trash and delete:
com.apple.iTunes.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
(don't worry ... new ones will be created upon relaunch of iTunes .... +see below+)
Using: /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions
RESTART the computer
Within the Applicatons folder: double-click the iTunes icon ... if the launch is successful, drag a copy of the iTunes icon to the Dock ... release ... you will now have a current alias in the Dock.
P.S. *Do Not* have the iPod connected to the computer during this process!

New iPod owner - Quick question about iTunes and iPod

Hey everyone. I just bought the new 5.5G black 30GB.
I have a lot of untagged MP3s, but my boyfriend tagged most of them. After I overwrite the untagged files (but with the same filename) with the tagged files, now that I have all of my music on iTunes and on my iPod, how do I get iTunes to do a mass refresh and see all the tags, so it can show them properly and update the iPod accordingly?
Also, my new ipod keeps crashing! It keeps freezing when I hit the skip button or try to do something when it's loading a video or a song. It just seems really unstable. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

oh sorry i misunderstood you
this is from i-tunes help - is this any good
Song titles look scrambled after importing from another application
If a song's title and information don't appear correctly, the file was probably created using a program that stores information in a different way from iTunes. You may be able to resolve the problem by reversing the Unicode characters in the song tags.
To reverse the Unicode characters:
Select the song and choose Advanced > Convert ID3 Tags.
To select multiple adjacent songs, press the Shift key while you click the song titles. To select multiple songs that are not adjacent, press the Control key and click.
Click Reverse Unicode.
To change the information back to what you had before, choose Reverse Unicode again.

Itunes will not open after installing lion and software updates

I just installed lion and completed the most recent software updates for my computer, now i cannot get iTunes to open without it "unexpectedly quitting" on me. Has anyone else had this problem or knows what to do?

You can try two things - Open Disk Utility and repair all permissions for your hard disk and / or delete the iTunes Preferences plist file in userhome/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
However, Lion now hides this Library folder in your user home folder, so you will need to open the Terminal app and type
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
and press return
This will show the Library folder

Problems After Upgrading iTunes and iPod software

My Goddaughter recently updated her iTunes to the newest version and her iPod to OS6. Now when she open iTunes, the top tool bar that used to have "File, Edit, View, ....tools., etc., is now blank. Is that supposed to happen or is this a new feature of iTunes 10, so now we would find those capabilities in another location? We are lost, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software several times just to have the same end result. Also when she syncs her iPod to iTunes, it connects but the window that opens has absolutely no text whatsoever.

You might try rebooting your computer. Select Shutdown and let the computer turn off. Then start it up again and see if the problem is corrected.

Video IPOD no longer recognized by Itunes and wont Update

This is a long complicated issue. My Ipod has been working flawlessly until 2 weeks ago. Someone tried to plug it up to their computer to charge it and it wiped out my library and added their library. At first i was thinking no big deal, i will just reconnect it with my computer and it will load my library back on. However once connected to my computer it is not recognized by itunes. So i did a reset , which seemed to be working great and it started "updating" about 80% through that process it gave me an error message that says " This disc can not be written to or written from" now I have no idea why it would say that? and although it seems completely wiped out and useless, it still shows that much memeory is missing in the "about ipod" screen on the ipod. So i know the information is there somewhere , somehow?... Anyway I dont know what to do, Does anybody have any suggestions?
Oh and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Itunes program to make sure it is up to date. WOuld adding new songs to my library have caused this problem?

1. Try Resetting the iPod. Hold Select and Menu for 6-10 seconds - until you see the Apple Symbol.
2. Use iPod Updater to restore your iPod to factory settings.
See if those two steps clear up your problem.
