IPod Photo resets  repeatedly w/ new 1.2 software

Ipod software version 1.2 was AUTOMATICALLY installed on my iPod the last time I connected it to computer to update the playlist.
Ever since the new software update, my 40GB iPod Photo resets whenever the Hold switch is engaged and then taken off... VERY annoying... Never did that before until the new software....
Any ideas ?

This is also happening to me. Also since this update and i tunes update 6.0., my logic3 istation no longer updates via firewire....ahhhhhggg Anyone else with this problem?

  • IPod requires reset for every new sync

    Well, that's it, really.
    My late `06 iMac & early `06 60gb / with video iPod are both up-to-date on software, yet everytime I hook it up for an update/sync the "do not disconnect" symbol sits there . . unflashing . & nothing ever happens.
    Once I do a reset, it's fine & everything proceeds normally, but this shouldn't be required.
    Even another sync 12 hours later, & it's the same sequence.
    any ideas or similar scenarios out there ?
    -=TIA=-

    well,
    It doesn't seem required if everything works fine after the reset.
    I was hoping more for someone else w/ the same deal...you know, I'd prefer to know "what's goin' on", rather then just pave over it w/ a restore.
    Why come I didn't get an email w/ your reply ?. . even the little binoculars are broke ?

  • IPod Photo not recognized on Windows XP

    I bought my Ipod Photo more than a year ago--and I've had numerous problems with it. Before my one-year-limited-warranty expired, Apple replaced my first iPod Photo for a brand new one--the one I have now.
    The iPod itself seems to be working fine. However, one day it froze so I had to reset it--losing all of my music. Then I plugged it into my computer, but to my surprise, not one of the songs on my iTunes was transferred to my iPod.
    When plugged into the computer, the "Do Not Disconnect" screen appears, and iTunes does open. However, nothing more happens. It seems like iTunes may recognize the iPod for a bit, then that's it.
    Please help with me with my problem!

    I have had much the same problem. I originally ordered the 40G ipod, and was 'upgraded' to the 60G (this was when the 60G was first released). The thing has NEVER worked properly! When it does connect and upload music, it's OK....until I would try to connect it again to add new stuff. More often than not, it would need to be completely reset, losing everything in memory. Needless to say, I haven't used it much. Now I am planning a trip and wanted to bring along some tunes. I've charged and reset the ipod, I'm running the latest iTunes version, and still nothing. It's not recognized in either windows or iTunes. The best it can do is tell me it needs to be reformatted, but then it just sits there forever saying 'Do Not Disconnect'. I'd love to be able to just get to the point where I could restore or update the software, but that seems impossible.
    At this point, I really would like to upgrade to a movie-capable ipod, but my experience so far leaves much to be desired. Any suggestions?

  • Can't Configure iPod Photo

    I have an iPod Photo 60gb. I've installed the software it came with, hard reset the iPod, installed the updater, restarted my PC a million times, but still the iPod will not configure. The dialog box comes up asking me if I want to configure the iPod, I click "OK" but nothing happens. And my iPod does not show up in iTunes. Please, please help me. Anyone??? Thank you.

  • IPod Photo not recognized

    I have a 4th generation iPod Photo.  I am running the newest version of iTunes (11.1.1) on the newest version of OS X (10.8.5).  When I plug the iPod into the USB on the Mac, it will not mount.  First I tried the USB on the wired keyboard.  That didn't work, so I plugged it directly into the tower.  One would think that that would be a sure thing, but noooo.  Therefore, iTunes does not recognize it.  Why?  It worked fine last week.  I've replaced the battery about a month or so ago and everything was fine until now.  Replacing the battery shouldn't have anything to do with this.  Should it?

    Yes, it operates just fine when I'm playing any audio.  When I plug the USB into the keyboard, a window pops up on the screen saying that there isn't enough power to run the iPod.  That didn't happen before I replaced the battery.  Then I plugged the USB cable directly into the Mac Pro tower.  Usually, it would either open iTunes and mount or just mount if iTunes is already opened.  This time it just wouldn't mount at all.  The iPod screen showed the red circle with the line through it and said, "Do not disconnect," even though it wasn't mounted.  I went ahead and disconnected it any way.  Nothing happened to the iPod, by the way.
    After a while, I tried it again and everything worked perfectly.  I unmounted it and remounted it several times and each time it worked as expected.  I guess the first attempts were just hiccups.
    Regarding charging, that's a whole other matter.  I don't use the computer to charge it because I tend to forget that the iPod is plugged in and invariably shut down the Mac.  As we all know, doing that drains the iPod battery.  I always charge it using the wall wart.  Sometimes it will show the battery icon with the lightening bolt and I will leave it plugged in overnight even though the icon sometimes dissappears.  When I start it the next morning, it would show that it didn't charge at all even though it is showing the battery icon with the electric plug.  Other times I would plug in the charger and it would charge quite nicely.  As I said, my 60GB iPod Photo now has a new battery and it is behaving a little differently than it did before.

  • Will A 5G iPod With A iPod Photo Dock Support Video Output?

    Hello everyone,
    I recently sold my iPod photo and purchased a new 5G iPod. I kept my iPod Photo Dock because it has a S-Video and Audio-Out on it.
    I was wondering however, before I commit to purchasing an Monster iTV cable for this dock, if iPod Photo dock will allow me to play video from my 5G iPod to my tv?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Travis

    We have one at home originally used with an iPod Photo. The iPod with video will charge over firewire, it just won't update. The USB and Firewire chargers are the same except for the connection.

  • Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

    My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
    It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

    thank you for the tip.
    Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • New Hard Drive- How to upload from iPod Photo without access to old drive

    Needed to purchase/install a new hard drive after Windows corruption on my old pc. My iPod Photo is completely backed up with my entire library/playlists, etc. Old music files were copied to my new hard drive but the iTunes application needs to be reloaded. I am hoping there is a way to sync my iPod with the new version of iTunes on my new hard drive and have the iPod used as a backup drive. Everything I read about this suggests I need access to my old hard drive to change settings on the iPod before I will be able to upload to the new software from the iPod. Does anyone know if what I want to do is possible so that I can retain all of my playlists, etc the way they are? Thanks so much.

    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 a lot of the utilities 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 is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 and Vista so it requires a little adaptation, also it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's 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, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    TuneJack Windows Only
    CopyPod Windows Only
    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.

  • Please help me, recover photos from computer to new ipod

    Ok, my daughter got her 4g 32gb ipod soaking wet, and it does not work anymore.  We got a replacement last night, and the old ipod had a bunch of photos on it that she needs for art class.  (We have a macbook pro for the synching).  We hooked up the new ipod, clicked restore from a backup, and not all of the photos are on the new ipod.  Also, none of her apps are there either.  I really want to recover the photos,  i have a feeling they are still on the macbook pro floating in limbo somewhere, does anybody know how to get the apps and photos from the old, dead ipod to the new one using the macbook?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for reading my question.

    The backup only contains photos directly imported to the iPod such as the taken with the camera, saved screen shots and email saved attachments.  Photo synced to the iPod are not in the backup.
    It appears the the apps were not restored to the iPod since the apps themselves are synced to the iPod and not included in the backup.  App data is in the backup.  You can redownload apps at no addition cost by:

  • Windows iPod Photo Transfer to new iMac G5 Query

    Hi,
    I have a 40 GB iPod Photo that is fortmated for use with a PC using Windows Pro.
    I have over 28 GB data or tracks on it, and i now wish to use it with my new iMac G5 that I have just purchased.
    The thing is I dont know how to go about doing this, because I am concerned that if I copnnect it to my iMac G5, iTunes will remove all of the music that is already on my iPod, and I cannot have that happen, as It would take me forever to copy them to CDrom and then timport them into the iMac, I gues it would probably take me all of the Christmas and new year that way, and I have no idea if that would work poperly anyway.
    Can anyone advise me how I can achieve my move over to the Apple computer please, without loosing my music. Once this is done I will not be wanting to connect it to my PC again. My iPod Photo is also set to 'Disc Mode' in iTunes so that I can see it as a drive in Windows if this is of any help.
    Hope someone here can help or advise me.
    Thanks In Advance

    Nick,
    As far as the Maxtor drive is concerned, I have kept it formatted as a NTFS Windows drive because OS X can read it without any problems at all, and apparently, according to Maxtor's web-site, if I format it as a Mac drive then it will not be recognised by the Windows system, and that I would have to partition it above 32MB!
    So, I have purchased a Belkin Wireless Cable Router (it works with ADSL as well) for about 40 UK pounds. This I have connected to my Win XP machine with an Ethernet cable, and I now access both my 10MB Broadband cable connection and my Win XP machine on the iMac via the Airport Extreme wireless connection.
    It was extremely (forgive the pun) easy to set-up, and took about 40 minutes from start to finish and that's only because the Windows machine crashed once, but after that it was just fine.
    If you can, I would consider going for the Ethernet/Router way because it gives you access to both machines and Internet connections as well as printer and scanner sharing.
    So if you wan't to know anything else, just let me know and I will do my best to explain.
    Hope you had a good Christmas and Happy New year!

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • Any news of updating ipod photo to ipod video

    guys.. is there any news about updating ipod photo to ipod video in the future??? i'm so darn pis$ed after looking at the ipod video... i have an ipod photo 30 gig and i just feel that it's really unfair for other ipod with colour display users!!!!!!!!!!
    anyone here would be kind enough to calm me down!!

    Bryan,
    posts like this are in my opinion quite inappropriate and immature. I can agree on the fact that at the time of purchase the iPod purchased was exactly to specifications, but if a day/week/month later you can get more (10 GB and video capability) for the same price would you not feel cheated in a certain way? Just imagine it happening with anything other than a technological advancement and imagine it happening to YOU.
    Anyway, it would be a very nice gesture for us Apple iPod enthusiasts to be provided with a firmware upgrade if the technology of their iPods is capable of handling videos. I for example am a Windows deciple, but as with everything, having listened to the right reasons, was contemplating to convert to Apple. Let's see how they handle this issue going forward.

  • IPod photo (fourth generation) using it on new Macs

    I have a new MacBook that doesn't have the firewire port. I have an older iPod and I would like to obviously hook it up to my computer. Are there any options for me? I know everyone will tell me to buy a new iPod but mine works perfectly. Never had a problem. It is in great condition. I use it for my home stereo. So what are my options? Obviously there is no USB to Firewire adaptor but the USB cable for new iPods does connect to mine. So is there anyway to get a firmware or some other update that allows me to transfer information through the USB cable or is that not an option? Anyone who has some advice, it would be appreciated.

    I am not 100% sure the generation. I based that on wikipedia. I know it was the first iPod photo. So it does not have USB support. Totally firewire. But it works well and I don't want to upgrade but I have a new computer that I can't hook it up to. Fortunately I still have my old one. Is there a solution? Can I hook it up anyway to my new computer? Or is it so obsolete that Apple is going to ignore me and force me to update my iPod?
