IPOD PHOTO AND TOSHIBA LAPTOP

Has anyone had problems using their ipod photo with a Toshiba laptop? I'm having some serious issues...so serious that an apple specialist suggested that I should get a different computer. Any chance someone else has had a problem and has found a solution??

when i got it about a year and a half ago i couldnt even use it on my laptop because toshiba and apple were completely incompatible. then, after a little less than a year they were able to update the software somehow so that apple products would work on SOME toshibas. So, i tried to use it on my computer and it works ok for about a week, then it died. i sent that one back and they sent me a refurbished one and that took about a month to die. i just called apple today and i was told to send that one out and that i will receive another refurbished one (i have the extra year of insurance). anyway, basically i always get the sad ipod icon or the folder with the exclamation point and at times when i plug it in the computer wont even recognize that someone has been plugged in. also, my computer will freeze, etc. any chance you know how to fix the problem?

  • Questions about iPod photo and Apple Protection Plan

    I have an iPod photo and an APP that expires May 2007. My
    iPod's battery has permanently run out and I plan to use my APP and send it to Apple. Here are my questions:
    1. What is the best way to contact them about sending my iPod to them?
    2. Does the APP cover battery replacement?
    3. Has Apple discontinued the making of iPod photos?
    4. If so, will they still replace my battery or will they just send me a completely new iPod?

    1) You can arrange online service here.
    Service request.
    2) Yes.
    3) Yes.
    4) They will send a replacement iPod photo. They have stock just for this purpose.

  • IPod photo and usb

    We have an old,1.2.1, iPod Photo with firewiredock for connecting to the computer; a dock to camera usb +camera reader+ cable; and an optical cable to connect the iPod to our Hi Fi.
    We recently acquired a radio/cd/tape player which has a usb port and will shortly take delivery of a new TV also with a usb port. The camera reader does not have the right size of usb connection to fit the radio and therefore probably the TV.
    Is there a cable which will connect the iPod dock to the Radio/TV to 1)play music and/or 2) show photos?
    Your advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks Kenichi. Some more info from me :
    This is what the TV Handbook says: +USB connection / PC network connection+
    +Multimedia connection for instantly view or play+
    +your photos or music.+ The TV is Philips 42 PFL9803H.
    As I understand this you should be able to play an iPod photos and music through the TV but to go back to my original question, is there a USB cable that will do the job?
    The MPMAN radio/cassete/CD player does much the same except obviously just for music. It says connect the MP3 to the USB port and play your music.
    Both devices will also take a USB Stick but I do not know how you transfer music and/or photos over to a stick.
    I simply want to benefit from all my work in creating libraries and sideshows in iPhoto and creating playlists of my own music in iTunes. Since everything is synced to iPod, the simplest thing seems to be to use the USB ports on the above devices. But what cable, if it exists?
    I thought most new TVs and audio devices now come with USB ports to enable greater connectivity and presumably that includes Apple. Perhaps brand competition, copyright protection,or just obstructive individuals are standing in the way. Hopefully you can enlighten me further.
    All the best, Tom.

  • How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.

    If you check songs, simply sync the entire library.
    But I highly recommend (and it is far simpler) to create a playlist (or multiple playlists) and select only that playlist to sync.
    Leave everything checked.
    Then simply add/remove from these playlists and sync away.

  • Old Ipod photo but new laptop

    Hi all,
    as far as I know, to prevent piracy and stuff an ipod can be connected and can take music only from that one computer it is formatted to right???
    So now my biggest question is that my ipod has been formatted to my old toshiba laptop (windows XP) which I am going to discard very soon and buy a new one with windows XP pro.
    Now is it possible for me to connect my ipod to my new laptop and import music into it like I;ve always been doing? Or is it that I'll have to take some kind of a backup and reformat my ipod to this new laptop and then dump all my music back into it???
    SOMEBODY!!!! please help me soon cuz I am going to discard my old laptop with which my ipod's been working since its day of purchase and I dont want that my purchasing a new lptop should erase my entire pod or pose problems to put music into it
    what is the best way to go about in this scenario...KINDLY help!!!

    You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then 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.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    If you haven't already done so, change the update setting for your iPod to manual. If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes on your new computer:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing Your Songs Manually
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, 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 again.

  • Incompatiility between iPod Photo and iTunes 7.6.2.9 and vista.

    I have connected 2 iPod photo with my new laptop and none of them are recognizeds by iTunes 7.6.2.9. Other iPods like my 5.5Gen 80GB and an old iPod mini 4GB and my sister's 80GB iPod classic are recognized without a hitch. I reinstalled the windows vista USB drivers for iPod and reinstalled iTunes. The 2 iPod Photo are working all right and sync OK in my desktop PC. Any advice would be very appreciated.

  • Life of iPod photo and where to sell?

    I want to sell my iPod photo while it's still alive. I have had it since December 2005, making it 1 year and 2 months old. I would like to know how long, typically, iPod photos last, and also where would be a good place to sell one?
    Gateway;   Windows XP   iBook G4; Mac OS X Panther

    Normally, iPod would last couple of years, my 3G iPod (purchased in 2003?) still running fine without any problem, however, it is probably the time to have battery replacement.
    If you would like to sell your iPod, you can try eBay.

  • IPod photo and stereo reciever--need help

    I have a 30-gig iPod Photo from about 2006. It works great but I'm wondering if anyone knows why it won't play the songs through my Pioneer Elite stereo receiver. I have a USB input and iPod option that plays my iPod Nano perfectly. But the receiver doesn't even detect the iPod Photo. I realize it's older, but why wouldn't it play songs on it when it does the Nano?? Thanks.

    I have the same problem that you do. I have tried all, restart, reboot, restore to its original settings and nothing. I have tried using the battery to run it off and I have charged it again and nothing happened. The equipment reproduces music, but with a white screem is imposible to operate it. I guess I will try to use the warranty, but I live abroad the US. If you have any progress, please let me know. Good luck, regards, ajlorenzos

  • Lost iPOD photos and cannot import photos

    Hi
    I am currently travelling and have been downloading my few daily photos to my iPOD.
    Last night I tried to download my photos from my camera to my iPOD but I received an error message that there had been an error while trying to import photos. Also all my other photo rolls are no longer there.
    Any idea how i can retrieve my other photos and then download future days photo's as I keep getting the error message?
    Thanks
    Chris

    I too lost photos and cannot transfer them to my computer!
    I have been using my ipod out in the "field" to store my digital photos. Everything was working perfectly until yesterday. Now my imac G5 is not mounting the ipod. The techie at apple helped me but there is NO WAY to retrieve the digital photos that I can see on my ipod. Since the ipod will not mount on the imacG5 or my other G5 dual; and it will not mount as a disc, my only alternative is to restore the ipod. I will lose 3 days photo work and 4GB of images that were uploaded to the ipod and then I re-used the Compact flash cards!! I am outraged that apple will continue to tell people that the ipod connector and ipod work together!

  • Itunes, ipod, photos and cotracts not working after safari crash

    My Iphone is about 2 weeks old. It was working fine until 2 days ago. I was browsing when safari crashed. I restarted safari and continued surfing. Later I went into ipod to listed to some music. The songs were on the screen but the ipod game an "unable to play" message. I shut down the iphone and started it up again. This time when I try to go into ipod it just crashes back to the spring board. when I click on Itunes it does the same thing. I clicked on photos and there no photos. turned on the camera and took a couple of Pictures. I looked at the camera roll and they showed up as just outlines of blank icons. Cicking on the icons gives an all black screen. Going out of the camera then into photos shows no pictures.
    I called Tech support and was told to do a restore. I then plugged the Iphone into the dock and was not recognized by itunes. Interestingly Iphoto does recognize it but not itunes.
    I am baffled at this point.

    By any chance did you buy any music from the iTunes wifi store before this happened? I am having problem that sounds similar; but in my case the iPod function shows "no content", and all photos are gone; but notes, calendar and contacts are intact. I also cannot get iTunes to recognize my iPhone to do a sync or restore.

  • Can I use iCloud with my iPod nano and windows laptop?

    not clear how to use iCloud with an iPod Nano and a Win 8.1 PC

    iCloud doesn't work with the iPod nano directly, and will only work on a PC with an already-existing iCloud account; these need to be created from a Mac or an iOS device.

  • Ipod nano and new laptop now cant see library

    Good evening all,
    Purchased Ipod nano in march worked ok and could se all my songs on the itunes library got a new laptop downloaded the stuff. Now can't see any of my previous tunes paid for a tune this evening but not on my nano nor in my library nightmare
    help please

    You can only transfer music and videos through iTunes. If computer/laptop music folders is what you mean of "existing library", then it would not be possible. Add your files first to iTunes then sync.

  • I have an unknown error (-81) when connecting iPod Photo and Nano

    This error keeps coming up when connecting iPods to iTunes and no photos can be downloaded.

    Hello penel2907,
    This could be due to a hardware issue. You may try using a different USB port on your computer.
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020, 1669.
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • No connection between ipod/ipad and itunes/ laptop

    i have an ipod touch 32gb 2nd gen and a 3rd gen ipad 16gb wifi only and neither will connect to itunes. i have an emachines laptop and worked perfectly before. have tried so many of the suggestions online everywhere and nothing. any ideas?

    Since you are trying to manually manage the iPod's contents (a.k.a. dragging and dropping content onto it) have you double checked to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
    If that is not the case, what happens when you try to drag and drop songs onto it?  Any error messages?
