IPod- persistant crashing and doesn't mount on desktop when connected...

I bought my iPod about 4 months ago and it crashes all the time - every time i mount it i have to unplug it hold down the menu + middle button do a manual reset and then try again, when i'm updating my iPod it will also sometimes crash.
+(Not sure if this is releavant, but may help; the second time i connected my iPod to my mac after buying it, i had to do a complete software restore, as i got the message that the iPod was currupt.)+
i also have a click wheel iPod (uses FireWire), and my Dad has a iPod video 60GB (uses USB) and niether of them crash as much or need a manual reset to mount on the desktop. i'm just wondering if my iPod is faulty and i need to get it exchanged? or has anyone else experienced this with their iPod and knows a solution??
it seems to me that a FireWire connection is faster than USB, would it be possible to get my iPod Video to work over a FireWire connection, rather than USB?

Well youre not alone on this got this same problem it was working fine then had problems accesing files as harddisk use now it crashed tried restoring and thsi morning appeared to have been back to normal but NO FILES! I hope i can recover my data its so frustrating

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall for the network problem.
Also for the original problem try the following if Ana's suggestions does not work
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?

Finder crashed and doesn't reopen

HI, I'm using Yosemite in a macbook pro 8,1 and the Finder crashed and doesn't reopen.

Finder crashes are often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you first check for an update. If that doesn't solve the problem, remove it according to the developer's instructions. You may need to start the computer in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to "show status icons." According to reports, that may be enough to stop the crashing.
Similar cloud-data clients such as "Dolly Drive," "iDrive," "Open Drive," and "Transporter Desktop" can cause the same problem. Perhaps there are others.

Why does my iPod keep crashing and get stuck on the apple screen?

My iPod has crashed and gotten stuck on the apple screen multiple times now, I think three or four times. I take really good care of it and charge it alot. It's a generation 5 32 gig, but I have no idea how to fix it! I really want to save my pictures and contacts and whatnot so it is really annoying when it happens!!! Any help would be considered! Thankyou for any input!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hi i have an ipod A1099 but it doesn´t want to work, when I try to charge it, its present the apple on the screen and then post a message saying to visit apple support. Please help me, I don´t want to loose my ipod.

Hi thenicegirl07,
It sounds like your Click Wheel iPod is showing a sad iPod icon. If it will go into Disk Mode you may be able to restore it, take a look at the article and quote below for more information about the alert and possible resolutions.
iPod displays a sad iPod icon
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1373
Resolution
In most cases, the sad iPod icon indicates a hardware issue. If you are able to force iPod into Disk Mode, then it may not be a hardware issue, and you should try to restore your iPod with the latest software.
If you cannot force your iPod into disk mode and restore it, then your iPod is in need of service. Set up an iPod Service Request or make a reservation at the Genius Bar before visiting your local Apple Retail Store. To make a reservation:
Go to http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/.
Choose an Apple Store location.
Click the Reserve link under Genius Bar.
Choose iPod.
Select your desired reservation date and time.

IOS7: iPod app crashes and songs disappear!

It happened first as soon as I updated to iOS7. The iPod app crashed, and then I had no songs left, everything just went away.
I downloaded it back from iTunes Match, and a few days later it just happened again! All my songs were just wiped out after a crash of the iPod app!
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm using an iPhone 4 32GB.
Thanks.

Pleae - does anyone have any input?

External Hard Drive Doesn't Mount on Desktop through FireWire 400

I have an external hard drive that mounts on the desktop when connecting to my iMac via USB, but it fails to appear on the desktop when connecting via FireWire 400. It was glitchy in Tiger as well, and had problems since installing Leopard. I was able to get it to work once, after using Leopard Cache Cleaner (a 3rd party program), disconnecting the hard drive, and unplugging the iMac. I moved my computer this week, and had to unplug it and when I powered it back up, the hard drive doesn't appear on the desktop again through FireWire 400 (still works fine with USB). It also doesn't appear in Disk Utility through FireWire.
What good are FireWire if they fail to recognize a hard drive so often?!

upgrade to latest system, that computer will accept, then try again

IPod doesn't appear in the finder nor on the desktop when connected

Hi,
My iPod touch 2nd gen doesn't appear in the finder nor on the desktop when connected, is it normal maybe because its a flash drive and not a harddrive, I don't know...
By the way, everything is normal with iPhoto and iTunes.
Sincerely

The Touch and iPhone do not have disk mode, that is why you can't see it.

Camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected

Kodak camera and ipod shuffle do not show up on desk top when connected. Trying to download pictures and adding my music to ipod shuffle, Anyone have any suggestions.

Have you plugged in another USB device to ensure that the USB ports are working?
Suggest you buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.
 Cheers, Tom

If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk.

I have an Ipod touch 6 and can't updated apps. When I click update, nothing happen. Any clue?

There is no iPod Touch 6. The latest generation is iPod Touch 5. Perhaps you mean you have an iPod running iOS 6.1.6. If so, you have a 4th generation iPod which cannot update past 6.1.6. A 5th generation iPod can run iOS 7

My ipod touch has stopped playing through my Sony docking station, It only plays through i pod. It's not the docking station as my daughter's ipod works fine on it. It can synch when connected to computer. Any ideas what is wrong?

Have discovered that I had not in fact updated the ios!!
Went through the process last night and my ipod now works fine on my docking station.
Thank you very much for your advice.

My iPod no longer appears as folder/file in Itunes when connected. Library, genius, playlists, etc. are present, but there is no longer cross reference with the iPod itself. Help!?

I just tried it again and this time a different message showed up "The iPod 'name' cannot be synced. The required folder cannot be found." I have no clue what folder it could be talking about.

Users can only connect to RD farm website and cannot remote into terminal server , when connected via VPN

Hello,
I have a RD farm using 3 Win 2012 servers (1 broker and 2 session host), for internal use only, have not
configured gateway for internet access.
Users are able to connect to RD farm website and remote into terminal server, within office
but can only connect to RD farm website and cannot remote into terminal server , when connected via VPN
Its takes long time at securing connection and fails.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
First of all I would suggest you to configure RD gateway role on your server and pass all the connection through it because it’s a best practice to use RD Gateway in RDS Farm.
Apart from this, if you are not using RD Gateway then you must check that you have successfully forwarded port 3389 for RDS to access via VPN. Also check that you have made configuration under IIS Manager to enable Forms Authentication. Please check
this link.
In addition, please refer beneath article for additional details.
1. How to Access Windows Remote Desktop Over the Internet
2. Remote Desktop Services in Windows 2008 R2 – Part 3 – RD Web Access & RemoteApp

Hope it helps!
Thanks,
