IPod not synching since I upgraded to 10.5.5 Itunes freezes(spinning ball)

I am having trouble with the update 10.5.5. I have a MacPro(8 Core), and I just updated it yesterday. Now all of a sudden my iPod Classic(80gb) was completely erased when I plugged it in to charge, I have restored it and it will not synch past 2210 songs it just takes hours and still nothing. And iTunes keeps getting the infamous spinning wheel(freezing)(it says iTunes not responding)the light next to it will not go off, Other programs as well will not close(even after force quit)(Microsoft Word, iTunes, Preview, etc...)I have tried safe boot, repairing the disk,restarting the computer quite a few times. I cannot get any work done now because the computer keeps freezing! All I keep seeing is this spinning wheel. The only thing working right is the internet! I had no troubles at all before this update!

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
Before upgrading did you run disk utility and repair HD and permissions?
After upgrading did you do it again? Very important steps to take.
You might want to check any old Tiger 3rd party apps that are not Leopard compliant (many are not), and especially remove any "haxies" if you have them installed, and also check what's in your login panel.
Old printer drivers, and such can also be problematic. Check all these things and update where necessary.
Also look back in these forums about a year ago when Leopard came out for all the things that we discovered that had to be fixed or removed, etc.

IPod not recognized since upgrade to iTunes 4.9

I haven't done any extensive troubleshooting yet, but at a first glance, it appears that since the installation of iTunes 4.9, my iPod is no longer being recognized when it is connected via Firewire.
It does not mount on the desktop, cannot be seen by iTunes, and iPod updater does not see it as being connected.
I've done the usual maintenance, repaired permissions, deleted plists, etc... and nothing seemed to help.
I'll be playing around some more tonight, but I just wanted to see if anyone has experienced anything similar. I read a few posts here that were somewhat related, but most were USB issues, and not Firewire.

Yes! I too have the same problem. I initially thought it was because I have an "old" 3rd generation iPod and a G3 iMac. I was ready to buy I new iPod today, but now I see the problem is something larger.
Before I spend more $$$ on an iPod, I will watch here for a possible solution. Oh, iPod Updater doesn't work for me (again, it's an old, 2003 model iPod). I tried the "battery drain" thing- no luck either.
Was Apple's haste in delivering iTunes 4.9 (with Podcasting) a goof? Why was this not tested? I can't believe they would make a mistake?! Not Apple. Was Microsoft involved with the development of iTunes 4.9? I bet that explains it! (wink, wink)

IPod not synching as "there is not enough free space" (but there is)

I have a 64Gb iPod touch which I have been having problems with since I bought it. The problem I am going to decribe has happened three times.
To the best of my memory, this is what has happened.
Starting with a newly purchased iPod I synched it with my existing library. This worked and I was able to play songs on the iPod with no problems. The iPod still had around 8Gb left unused. A few days later I imported a few (maybe 3 or 4) new CDs into my iTunes library and hit Sync. The Sync process got as far as step 5 of 5 and hung, I left it for a good hour and it got no further. I think I may have switched everything off and on again and then retried, this time I got a dialog box saying that the iPod cannot be synched because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library (additional 40Gb required).
Looking on the iPod I could see the full track listing for all my albums, but everything now had a red circle with a dot inside, and was un-playable. It's as if the songs were all still on the iPod (taking up disk space) but the index had somehow lost track of them (or something).
The only thing I could think of was to reset and restore the device, I also deleted and re-created the iTues library and started again, re-importing everything. Again, this worked fine until I later on inported a new CD to the library and tried to re-sync, whereupon exactly the same thing happened.
I have not been able to find any support questions with quite the same problem I am having - has anyone encountered anything similar and have a solution?

It does have a red circle inside, but I am on Windows 7 and have not upgraded anything.
My problem looks similar to this one Re: iTunes library disappeared, re-added all my songs now iPod doesn't have enough free space to sync.
I can solve it by a compete restore and resync but when I try to add something and sync again I get the same problem and it seems like the only think to be done is to restore everything again, which clearly I can't do every time I add a new CD!

ITunes 7.3.2 (OSX) and 5th Gen iPod not synching

I have had my 5th gen iPod (30GB) for about 2 years now and originally had used it with Windows, then I switched over to a Mac in Feb and have been pretty happy. Normally i synch my iPod daily to get my playlists updated (so I don't listen to the same thing all the time) and so I can get new Podcasts that were downloaded. Before I left for work this morning, I was able to synch my iPod with no problem, when I was about to synch it before I went to bed, it will not synch. When I try to put in the iPod, iTunes then crashes. I try to put in the iPod and let iTunes open automatically, it loads then crashes again. I have rebooted both the Mac and did a reset on my iPod, but can't even perform a restore since before iTunes would pop up the iPod section, it crashes first. it IS mac formatted. i don't know what is going on and what chnged from this morning to this evening and why suddenly it doesn't work.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I deleted both iTunes and Quicktime7, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled QT then iTunes. Still getting the same issue. Still "crashing" when the iPod is connected.
This is some of the information from the bug report that I thought might be helpful to figure out what went wrong (didn't want to include ALL the crash report, so I just included the info before the "thread crashed" details and the system info at the bottom):

"Recently Added" has not updated since I upgraded

My "Recently Added" playlist hasn't updated since I upgraded Friday afternoon. I cannot find any user setting that allows you to change this or set up your own.
I find the "Recently Added" section an easy way to play together the most recently downloaded podcasts. Now, nothing updates.

i've had the exact same problem since i upgraded. Not just the Recently Added not working, but none of the new music I download will import or add to the library.

New iPod not recognized in Vista PC and no devices in iTunes

Hello, plugged iPod Touch into computer and Vista showed usual little box which said automatically located drivers and installed them. But couldn't find iPod in My computer. Installed iTunes from download area. No devices in left column.
Reinstalled iTunes from fresh download. Plugged iPod in every USB point on computer, but nothing happens. IPod not found or recognized.
Tried to find USB driver in Device Manager but all have generic names and so can't identify which driver was installed for iPod. None show installation date or anything which may identify which one. Also forgot to create restore point first (kicking self - always do this normally before installing something new).
Been through Apple help pages and tried all their ideas including reinstalling. Still nothing found.
Could someone please suggest what to do, besides dropping computer out of window?
Many thanks
Phil Chave

Nike+ ipod not working since upgrading to ios5

I used to link my phone to the Matrix machines which are Nike+ iPod compliant. It used to be fine, I used to run, the runs were never displayed as historic data on the phone but when I synced my phone with iTunes it used to update the website. This worked wheter I used the treadmill/ cycling machine etc.
Since upgrading to iOS5, nothing has synced with the Nike website. After my run a message comes up saying "Workout Completed. You can send your workouts to the Nke+ website in Settings". Am not sure why or how to get this working again.
Any help would be appriciated.

Sorry ignore this. I just went into Settings, went to the Nike+iPod section then at the botom there was an option to send workouts. I had pressed this before but it didn't work. It did today.
Difference today is that I'm trying from home with WiFi. Who knows, just glad its working!

IPods not working since iTunes 7.2 and song upgrade

Anyone else experiencing issues since upgrading to 7.2?
My 4th gen iPod has started skipping songs -- never had any issues with this one before.
My 5th gen iPod(video) has seemingly bricked. Select+Menu reset feature doesn't have any impact. The screen flickers and then freezes.
Oddly enough, iTunes 7.2 works just fine from what I can tell. The new "Plus" songs play just fine on the computer.

I'm having the exact same problem after the iTunes 7.2 upgrade. Some songs won't copy and I get the 'cannot be copied/file format not supported' message - though all of the formats are the same. I tired restoring my iPod twice but no dice. The songs copied fine before the upgrade.
For me, it seems to be just songs that I purchased from iTunes, burned to an audio CD and then reimported as MP3s. (I've done this a few times for various reasons.) When I reload the original purchased files to my computer from backup, then try to copy those to the iPod it works. Maybe that's a clue.
Hopefully an update will fix this. It's a minor annoyance, but still...

IPod not synching with iCloud

Hi.
I have successfully loaded an album onto my PC. It has been matched with iCloud. The album appears on my iPad but not on my iPod (which is where I need it to be).
I have turned on/off wifi & iCloud on my iPod several times but it still won't synch with the cloud.
I seem to be having synch problems with my iPod lately. Not sure if it's since Idownloaded the latest iOS.

Why doesn't iTunes see my iPod 80gb Video since I upgraded to OSX 10.4?

I upgraded to Tiger from Leopard a couple of weeks ago and haven't been able to sync my iPod since. I've rebooted both the iPod and my Mac, Re-installed iTunes, replaced the ipod.plist and DRM key, and done everything on the Apple Help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61937 "Mac OS X 10.4.x-Install the latest available Mac OS X 10.4.x update. If you are already using the latest version of Mac OS X 10.4, or if updating does not help, perform an archive installation of Mac OS X 10.4.
I didn't do the "Archive installation which I can't do because there isn't enough room to copy the internal hard dive data onto itself. Please tell me why my iPod appears in the finder, but iTunes just won't recognize it!

Hi mattweb,
Windows is probably confusing your iPod with a USB network device. In this case, definetely try assigning your iPod a different drive letter.
If "My Computer" recognizes your iPod, then try performing the steps below:
1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
Here's what it should look like:
Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
For more details, see this article:
Windows confuses iPod with network device / Changing drive letter
I hope this helps you,

Firefox is not working since the upgrade to 6.0.2. Why?

On thursday sept. 8th, Firefox upgraded to 6.0.2. Since Friday morning when I turned on my computer I have not been able to open Firefox at all. I can use IE with no problem. I went to technical support and followed the instructions on what to do and I still can't connect. The internet connection is working fine. I have Windows Vista. I also went to Add-ons and all the add ons are disabled because they are not compatible with FF 6.0.2. I been a customer of FF for a very long time and I have never had any problems with the upgrades until this newest one. No errors come up it just says Problem Loading Page. Can someone please tell me what is going on and how to fix it. Thank you

You're welcome
