  • None of my ipods work with new itunes, please help me!

    I have:
    • 3rd gen. nano
    • 5th gen. video
    • 2nd gen. nano
    Both nanos used to work on my macbook, I could add/delete music, sync.. every thing worked perfectly! Also, I just barely bought the classic from someone and it worked as well.
    -- TWO DAYS AGO... I updated to the 8.2.1 version of iTunes and since then, none of my iPods, or my boyfriend's brand-new touch work on iTunes. I've finally uninstalled, installed, reset enough things that when I plug in these iPods, they at least show up on my desk top, but all iTunes does is open.
    It used to open and give me a warning: "an ipod has been detected but it could not be identified properly...please disconnect & reconnect" which did nothing.
    My 3G nano works perfectly on my boyfriend's brand-new MacBook, but still nothing on mine.
    I've thought and thought and figured that iTunes was the culprit and not my USB ports or cables since I tried other things in the ports and 6 other cables that work fine on other computers.
    I've been SEARCHING the internet like crazy, reading millions of forums and 'fixes' but nothing works :'(

    The same thing happened to me. When I first connected my iPod to my PowerBookG4 after the latest update, it told me to restore my iPod, so I did. Now it tells me there is not enough room to put my music or podcasts onto the iPod, because it is full. However, there is nothing on it since when I restored it took everything off. When I go to the iPod summery page, it says the iPod if full with "other", but I can't figure out what that is, or how to erase it, so I can install my music and podcasts. I run every day and desperately need my iPod, and every place I could otherwise call is closed until Monday. Can anyone help?!!!!!!!!!

  • IPod mini is very sick, please help

    Problem: When my mini is fully charged (8 hrs) and updated, I can listen to about one or two songs (all songs are playable at this point). After a song or two, the battery icon drains completely and the screen says "low battery". The iPod then turns off by itself. This happens every single time, no matter how "charged" the ipod is. When I press the middle button to turn it back on the battery icon in the upper corner is empty, and about half of my songs (albums) will play. The iPod will get to an album that it won't play and skip through every song on the album (even albums purchased from iTunes). When I can find an album that my mini will play, the battery slowly creeps up to about a third full, and I get about an hour or two of playing time before the battery is drained. I find this weird b/c my mini does not discriminate against certain songs, but ENTIRE albums (purchased from iTunes and imported CDs, doesn't matter). Meaning, if my mini plays one song on an album, every song on that album is playable. If it can't play one song on an album, no songs on that album will play. It doesn't matter if I'm playing it in shuffle mode, through all songs, by artist, or by album. When it gets to a song from an album it won't play, it just skips over the song. Is this a battery issue or a hard drive issue? Anybody know quick fixes or how much it would cost to repair? -thanks

    As much as the new battery would help, if you open your iPod casing, then you'll void the warranty on your iPod, making it nearly impossible to get it fixed if you break something inside it, or if the battery isn't the problem.
    Oh, and no, the iPod battery won't shorten life if you turn it on and off by the play button. That's an energy conservation tool so you don't need to waste battery waiting for your iPod to turn off by auto-sleep.
    I reccomend that you simply take the iPod into Apple. It easier, and you won't void your warranty.

    Hi,

My itunes keeps freezing when this happens and then I have to restart my computer so it's frustrating. please if anyone knows what to do...

  • Old ipod mini and new (intel) imac

    Hi folks,
    I have a small problem and I don't know how to solve it.
    Let me preface by saying that I have done nothing yet, only read and not really found what I'm looking for - I hope someone can help.
    I have a new imac. I also have 2 old ipods (a mini, and a nano). Both pods have music on them that I would like to keep, but the computers and so the itunes which they used are no longer available.
    I would like to have the music on both pods transfered to the new imac's itunes (without losing the music on the new itunes) and then use both the pods in conjunction with the new imac and its itunes.
    The new imac has never had an ipod connected to it, so it is an ipod 'virgin' if you will - not sure that makes any difference, just for info. The 2 ipods, as I said, have both been used on other computers, which are now no longer available.
    I hope someone can help, if any more info is needed I'll do my best to supply it... bit of a noob when it comes to these things...
    Thanks again,
    Amedeo

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content 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 music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would , relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Ipod mini and new harddrive. very confused.

    I have had an ipod mini for about a year. i have a laptop, which used to have my itunes and all my songs for my ipod mini. recently the harddrive of my laptop got compeltely swiped leaving me with no itunes, no songs, no software. i re-installed itunes, but am afraid of installing my ipod. i do not want itunes to delete the 300+ songs on my ipod now that i have none in the library. i really need help with adding new songs onto my ipod now that my computer has been re-vamped. nobody seems to know how to do it without having all my current songs deleted, and i don't want to have to get rid of them all. i've been trying to figure this out for awhile now so any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  • IPod not detected as iPod by computer or iTunes, please help

    Hello everyone!
    When connecting my iPod Nano 2nd Gen via USB to my computer (win XP) it recognizes it as a "mass storage device", and iTunes won't detect it as an iPod.
    I went through many of the tutorials on this website, and formatted my iPod, re-installed the USB device and completely removed and then reinstalled iTunes (which is the latest version - 7)
    Can you guys please help me on getting my iTunes to recognize my iPod so I can transfer files to it?
    Thanks!
    Tom
    P.S.
    It used to be my sister's, and she claims to have been transferring files to the iPod directly (dragging files, not using iTunes) and that it also worked and she was able to listen to music and stuff, until one day where she tried to listen to music and it said "disc empty".
    As of now when clicking on music it says "disc empty" (quite obvious though because I formatted)
    Can't restore my iPod either since it requires it to be recognized by iTunes first...

    Hey
    First of all thank you for replying
    Following that tutorial I could not find the registry values it wanted me to delete, however I did find it via the "Search" option in Regedit. Is it safe to remove it from there? Or could there be other values with the same names as the ones I was supposed to delete?

  • IPod mini and new computer

    I have a new Macbook on the way. If I want to connect my iPod mini to it and start using it, will I have to use the disk that came with the iPod?

    The Macbook will come with iTunes installed so really you just need to connect the Mini up. However, if your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it: Using iPod with Multiple computers
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, (on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
    Have you thought about how you are going to put your existing music on to the MacBook? One way is to copy the songs from your iPod. there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you are happy with.

  • MY IPOD NOT CONNECTING TO ITUNES PLEASE HELP

    Okay,, soo my ipod nano 3rd gen, wont connect to my iTunes. it will only come up in a window in my computer. now, i searched help on the apple sight but when it gets the point where it asks me to start the itunes service again, a error code comes up saying it wont allow me to start it. what should i do?

    Ok, so I was finally able to fix this issue with my ipod. Here's what I did.
    I received the problem on my computer running vista. I decided to hook up my ipod to my friend's macbook. Lo and behold, iTunes recognized it and I received an error saying that the firmware was corrupt. I was able to restore the firmware on my ipod and it worked fine after that. I took it back to my vista computer and it said that my ipod was using mac firmware and if I wanted to delete everything and change to windows firmware and it worked (even though my computer was running 8.1).
    Now, I'm not sure if it was osx or maybe the older version of itunes that fixed my issue (my friend was running itunes 8.02 or something), but I suggest if you're having this problem, take it to the apple store and connect with one of their macs and see if you can update the corrupt firmware.
    I hope this helps. This issue was really frustrating for me and I hope apple fixes this quickly because I see many people with this problem here.

  • Problem with new itunes, please help!!

    so much has gone wrong with this process. i tried downloading the new version and the whole setup process wouldnt continue. then i decided to uninstall quicktime then reinstall it. but it wouldnt go through with the quicktime setup either. now the old itunes wont even open, and im thinking, is it worth while to uninstall itunes the redownload completely? will this remove all the music on my ipod? if it does is there any way to put the songs back on? thanks

    No it won't remove your music from the pod unless when reconneting it to the new library you say "No do not replace the library with the current one"
    It sound like you might not have a backup stragegy in place. I would highly suggust you do something or you might be coming here saying you lost all your music. The pod wan't meant to be the only storage for your music.
    I would download both itunes and the qt. Save them to your desktop or something then run the installation. Don't run it from the apple site. Then install QT before itunes. When installing make sure you turn off firewalls/virus/privacy/pop-up blockers/web accelerators as these can cause installation problems.
