IPod Mounting Problems

I've seen an issue similar to this here in the forum, but this appears to be a little bit different. I'll explain:
This weekend bought a new MacBook Pro. Got it home and installed all the software updates for it, including iTunes updates.
Then, connected my iPod to it for the first time. iTunes asked if I wanted to install the new iPod software. I agreed.
After installing -- I don't know exactly at which point -- I noticed that my iPod was no longer on my desktop. But it DID still show in iTunes. But the screen on my iPod (30gb Video) was in the Menu Mode (not the typical "Do Not Disconnect" mode).
Since then, every time I connect the iPod to this computer it mounts momentarily to the desktop, but after maybe 15 seconds it dissappears again.
Also, last night I took the iPod into the other room to connect to my iMac -- it did the same thing there (though it had never done it before). Today, however, I tried it again on the iMac and it mounted just fine... but again, when attaching to this MacBook Pro, same thing -- it mounts and then dissappears after a few seconds.
I'm totally at a loss. Any ideas?

"After installing -- I don't know exactly at which point -- I noticed that my iPod was no longer on my desktop. But it DID still show in iTunes. But the screen on my iPod (30gb Video) was in the Menu Mode (not the typical "Do Not Disconnect" mode)"
This is normal when your iPod is set to update automatically and is not enabled for disk use. Unless it is enabled for disk use it will mount, update and automatically disconnect and the iPod display will go to the usual menu. If you enable it for disk use or set it to manual update (which enables disk use by default) it will stay mounted on the desktop and show the "Do Not Disconnect" until you manually eject it. Check your Preferences to be sure.

IPod mounting problem!

Hi,
I've installed Arch 0.7.2 yesterday. everything works fine except the mounting feature. When i try to mount my ipod by clicking on the desktop icon of my ipod. there comes an error message:
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")
When i try to mount my DVD drive it displays the same error message.
Do u know this problem?
thx in advance,

No, that is the problem. I have to take my user account into some groups.
And it works fine now...
i'm an idiot

Narrowing down "iPod won't mount" problem

Regarding the "iPod won't mount" problem that has been posted a number of times: is anyone having this problem with a USB connection or just with a Firewire connection?
I'm using Firewire and can't get my iPod to mount. I don't have a USB connector for the iPod and I thought I'd do a little research on the problem before I go buy a USB connector.

My 4th generation Ipod would not mount with the firewire but worked fine with USB.

IPod mounts on desktop but not in iTunes

The problem started with a system extension error message (below). From an old posting elsewhere it is suggested that an errant DiskWarrior icons file gets inserted in the IOStorageFamily.ktext file, causing mount problems with USB devices. It happens I had tried running an outdated version of DiskWarrior earlier today. In any event I followed the posting's advice to "show Package Contents" so as to delete the Preview.icns file. Did that but didn't fix the problem.
I've repaired permissions and have reset my 4th gen. Nano. Am using iTunes 10.1.2 Here's the error message:
The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.ktext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."
If only I knew how (or who). Help please!

Aha. Solved the problem myself by reinstalling iTunes. I needed only to pay more heed to the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant suggested.

Coping iso file and mounting problem

Hi
I am using Windows 8.1 Update Enterprise 64 bit and Windows ADK.
I noticed that, if I select the "Environment of the deployment tools and creations images" and I click on the "Run as Administrator" item of his Pop-Up menu and I mount on a iso image of windows 8.1 Update, when I run the command
robocopy <Drive_Letter>:\"<Windows_Files_Path>" /e
to copy all its files in a directory and the command
dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"<Windows_Files_Path>"\install.wim /Index:<Image_Index> /MountDir:"<Mount_Directory_Path>"
to mount an image volume, this error appears:
Error: 0xc1510111
Not have permission to mount and modify this image.
However, if I copy these files through the "file explorer" window, the mounting of this volume image is working properly. How come?
Thanks
Bye

Additionally I can see that the original question asked was copied from this post 2 years ago:

is this really your problem?
Really, this is not a MDT related question. perhaps a general Windows Setup forum would be a better place to ask this question.

Ipod syncing problems...?

Im having several ipod syncing problems. I have an Ipod touch, 4th gen with the standard USB cable that comes with to charge it and sync it with. Today, i plugged it into my computer like normal to sync some new songs onto it from itunes. But, it started acting up. First, it kept syncing on and off, and the sync sound wouldnt stop- it wouldnt stay synced. then, later, when it finally did, not long after it said "this device does not support charging," and itunes didnt recognize my ipod anymore, so i couldnt sync my songs. is there any way i can fix this? thanks in advance.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

[iPod 5G] Problems with Windows' iTunes keeping it synced.

I've been struggling to get my iPod 5G working on my windows computer. This is what happens EVERY time:
- I connect my iPod, it gives me "Cannot read the content of the iPod XXX...."
- I Restore my iPod (have also formatted it completely several times).
- the iPod shows up in iTunes and it syncs.
- I take the iPod out and i reconnect and it starts all over again and i get: "Cannot read the content of the iPod..."
Connecting the iPod to my MacBook will make it appear in iTunes and I'll be able to see the music and update it.
Things i've tried (in semi-random order, except for the last one):
- Updated the iPod (1.2.1)
- Restored the iPod about 10x
- Different USB port and different iPod connection cable
- Erased the iPod (3x): using Windows' format tool 1x and the Disk Utility in OS X 2x.
- Uninstalled iTunes, Reinstalled.
- Fresh install of Windows XP.
Could this be an iPod related problem? (it seems to work fine on my Mac)
Could this be an iTunes 7 related problem?
The iPod is brand-new, i got it after my old one had gotten a white screen that wouldn't go away. Could it be a faulty iPod they gave me?
P.S. Please don't suggest to 'just sync it with your mac' because it should work with the Windows computer that holds all my music.

hi chris
the difference is:
at home i've started it and it has been running 12 hrs without touching it
outside i've used it while running through the park five times, so i started and stopped it five times without touching it otherwise (didn't change songs)
do these five times starting/stopping waste 8,5 hrs battery runtime?

5g Ipod. Problem with Firmware 1.2.1

Like many out there, I upgraded my iTunes software to ver. 7 and subsequently the iPod firmware to ver. 1.2.1. This resulted in the iPod "freezing" problem many others have reported. I've gone through the exercise (twice) of uninstalling iTunes 7, installing the version of iTunes on my installation disk (I believe it's earlier than 6.0.5) and then installing firmware provided in Updater 2006-6-28 (1.1.2). Problem is that iTunes doesn't recognize anything in my music or video library and the only way (so far) to solve this is to upgrade back to Itunes 7.0.2 but not to upgrade to firmware 1.2.1. My iPod now works but when I sync to iTunes, many of the videos (TV shows) I've purchased won't transfer to my iPod. The reason given is that my iPod software is too old. This has also occured with any new video purchase.
Has anyone experienced something similar and is there a solution to this problem.

I am having this problem as well. It was irritating me so bad that i just reverted to 1.0 since i don't have any other version availible because itunes doesn't save the updates. I tried all of the 5"R"s and it still locked up as soon as i booted my iPod up.

10.5.8 disk mounting problem

I updated to 10.5.8 and decided I would download the photoshop elements trial off Adobe's website. It was at 365 MB of 1.27 GB and it suddenly came up "mounting failed" I am currently trying to download it again, but my internet connection is slow so it will be awhile before I see if it happens again at 365 MB. Has anyone else had disk mounting problems in 10.5.8?

Speaking as someone who works a lot with PSE, I would say the odds are very high that this is an Adobe problem rather than a 10.5.8 problem. Wait a while and try the download again.

Ipod-a problem machine?

Hello everbody,
i´m a new 4gb nano user. After reading some posts here, i have a doubt...correct me if i´m wrong...but are ipods a problem machine? because all i can read is problems problems problems.
thanks a lot

No, they are not. You have to put it into perspective.
1. Nobody in here is sayingg "yeah, I love my iPod". They come here for technical help when they have a problem.
2. Most of the questions asked in here are solved.
3. Consider how many iPods there are in the world (upwards of 60 million). Then consider how many questions there are in these forums. Then take into account the fact that many of these questions are not related to the iPod, or that many are looking for advice on whether or not to buy an iPod, which model, etc.
I have had 5 iPods in my house, and only once did I have any sort of problem (due to a faulty iPod hardware piece, but Apple sent me a replacement in less than 2 weeks).

Please open a new thread detailing your problem. Define what is "Solved" by rebooting. Does the drive mount during a reboot? Tell us how you are trying to mount the drive, and provide us your /etc/fstab. You may want to share the the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

Ford Voice Control & iPod playlist problems

Ford Voice Control & iPod playlist problems
I am having problems with the voice control system and my video ipod (5th gen) in a new Ford Focus Coupè-Convertible which also has Bluetooth phone conectivity ( works great with my iPhone 3G) as well as USB & Voice Control
This is all done through a Sony audio unit (model Sony 6CD DAB) which has a Six disc CD changer built in, as well as the usual FM & AM Radio bands as well as DAB Radio.
My problem relates to the voice control of my ipod and playlists.
Now some commands work just great For example if I say the following sequence ( which the unit repeats back to me at each stage) it works great:
"External Device"
"iPod"
"Play"
All works well as it starts playing whatever playlist the iPod was in prior to connection to the unit, or if no playlist had been selected it just plays the whole contents of the iPod. - It also works fine with the commands "Shuffle" or "Repeat".
But according to the user manual I am supposed to be able to play or select a specific playlist by voice command using the following syntax as quoted from the manual:
'...create playlists named with the structure "Ford<*>" where <*> is a number 1-10. For example "Ford7" without any spaces between "Ford" and the number.
So I made several playlist called
Ford1
Ford2
Ford3
and so on up to Ford10.
Now according to the voice commands list I should say the following phrases which like before, are repeated back to me by the system:
"External Device"
"iPod"
"Playlist"
Then the unit responds with
"Playlist Number Please"
Then according to the manual I should say the following:
But when I say either
'Ford1'
Or
'1'
Or any right up to 'Ford10' / '10'
It responds bystating that playlist number (X) not available.
I have also tried with the quotation marks ("") around the name eg "Ford1", but that has not worked either.
So I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this problem and knew a solution, or could tell me where I am going wrong.
Although my car is a UK model, I believe that this voice control system is available with Sony units in American cars as well.
Hope you can help as this is driving me nuts!
Thanks

Hi Drusus.
I also have a European Ford (Focus ST - 2009) with the same problem.
Have you found any solution to the problem, or know if its possible to contact Ford...?

Having Windows & iPods detection problems?

Try Microsoft article below - has to do with iPod detection problem. Try This...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925196

Sounds like there may be a problem with your install ..
perhaps you have two
different play version on your PC (eg you've installed a
newer version, but
old one didn't fully uninstall itself).
One possible solution (if that is the case) is to run the
uninstall utility
from Adobe, then search your harddrive for any files matching
*flash*.ocx ..
and if they are actually flash players (look at properties
version info tab
to ensure they are macromedia/adobe flash player ocx's -
don't want to kill
something to do with flash memory (say)) then delete them.
Also kill off
the c:\windows\system\macromed\flash folder .. so then you
have no flash
player ocx left. Then go to the Adobe web site and
re-download/install the
latest Flash Player. NOTE: if you do this, be very careful
you only delete
things that can safely be deleted without causing problems
elsewhere.

my ipod having problem in putting up songs. and i cant sync the songs. what will i do?

back up the device in icloud and restore it back to factory settings after doing so setup as new and see if the issue is still there. If it's not merge your icloud info back into your device by just loging in with your apple id after the the setup is complete.
