IPod problems...loss of songs..not recognizing..slow...

Well here is my most recent problems...and yes, i've had many before...
My iPod has been acting up lately...even after i sent it away to Apple, they apparently did not fix it up to the standards i'd wish....i assume i'll need to send it in again and reccomend they just send a new one
anyways....it has been going slow when transfers from itunes, and will freeze up on some transfers. Then many songs on the iPod will not play or will only play a portion then skip over it and other songs.
Then recently, i went to plug the ipod into my pc and add some music, when the ipod said it no longer recognizes the songs already on my iPod and i couldn't add any to it.
Resetting hasn't seemed to work, and i can't restore because the updater app won't ever recognize that the it is either plugged in or it just freezes up or something....i dont know what to do...
any help will be greatly appreciated...and swift responses would be great...i may be able to take it back tomorrow if it needs to be...
thanks again

  • Ipod nano 1st gen is not recognized in itunes 10

    I updated my computer system to leopard 10.5.8 as well as the latest itunes 10. I bought a new ipod nano 6th gen, and it syncs and works fine. The problem I have is my old Ipod. It is detected by my power mac on the desktop only the icon it has is a folder, and when I open it is in blank. I open Itunes 10 and it doesn't appear. And I tried to follow the instructions on apple support, tried all ports, tried reseting the ipod, and it is still not showing up on itunes. Can someone help me with this please?
    Also, a white line showed up on the screen, does that mean the screen is broken? I can still see everything going on normally on the ipod but not where the line comes up (middle of the screen).

    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

    Wow the customer service is even worse. Does Apple want me to go around jailbreaking my iPod now so I can use something that actually recognizes my product?

  • Ipod shuffle (2nd gen.) not recognized by my powerbook (g4)

    My new iPod shuffle (2nd gen.) not recognized by my powerbook (g4). Get error message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer". It works just fine with my iMac (g4). If iTunes is open the shuffle is just not recognized. Have tried my shuffle on a friend's PowerBook (Intel based) and it works fine. His new shuffle behaves exactly like mine on my powerbook. All other uses with USB ports appear fine - flash drives etc. I did initialize a new flash drive with 128 bit encryption before the 1st attempt to initialize my new shuffle.
    Help! Thanks

    Does it show in Apple System Profiler's USB tree? Have you tried connecting it (through its dock) to another computer?

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen. is not recognized

    My ipod touch 3rd generation is not recognized on my computer or on the itunes website.  I have tried everything listed on this websie and still nothing.  The usb cable I am using I got from ebay because I bought the ipod at Unclaimed Baggage store and did not come with usb cable.  Does anyone have any idea what to do, the only other thing that I can think to do is purchase new usb cable from apple.com because ipod is working great; just won't sync to computer.

    I'm not sure what you meant by, "on the iTunes website".

  • 2 problems, iPod nano battery depleted and not recognized by Windows, help!

    Earlier this morning. At first when I connected the usb to the computer I got the screen in the nano that said "apple.com/ipod/support" or something like that, with the folder/exclamation mark icon. It was charging but I disconnected it cause I had to go. I tried to do the same at night but this time is when it's totally dead, and not recognized at all. What can I do now?
    I havent used the nano in a while and the battery is depleted, so I tried to charge it but neither windows or itunes or the updater/restore recognize it.
    I'm on a laptop, I already tried most of the stuff in the faqs but it wont work.

    i kind of have the same porblem, my klaptop does regcognize the ipod on "my computer" but the iPod dosen't shows up in iTunes, and i have tried almost everything in the faq that show how to fix the problem, but it still dosen't work....

  • Ipod songs not recognized

    I plugged my ipod into a friends itunes to get a cd she had and after i ejected and turned my ipod back on, my ipod library had all of her music and none of mine. None of her music played (i put on shuffle songs and the song names just flashed by because none were valid) and the only tracks to work on my ipod were the ones from the CD i had meant to download to my ipod. Her itunes was not on automatic update (she had manually manage music selected). I reset my ipod and later plugged my ipod into my own computer where my ipod still showed up as my friends ipod with all of her library, except once again none of the songs worked (all had the little exclamation points next to them). I opened my Ipod control folder while it was plugged into my itunes and saw that my original library was in the folder I was able to play some of the songs from the ipod control folder. How do I correct this problem (without restoring the ipod and erasing whatever music i have on the ipod)? Also only about 25% of the 4000+ ipod songs are stored on my harddrive itunes folder which is working fine.

    It would appear that the iPod hard drive or iPod software has become corrupt. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them. I've never seen a plausible explanation for why it does this.
    You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes.

  • How to reformat Ipod Nano 5th gen when not recognized by Windows or iTunes?

    I've done all the steps on the site to correct this problem up until the reformatiing part except I tried to update the driver software but Windows says that it encounters an error when trying to install the new software.
    So after going through the steps I noticed that the iPod I just bought was formatted for Mac. It says that in order for me to reformat, I have to restore my iPod in iTunes but since it isn't recognized my my computer or iTunes, I can't do it.
    Suggestions anyone?

  • After installing 11.2.2.3 iPod Classc. is wiped/"dead" (not recognized by iTunes, Win7 find the unit in explorer) and my iPod Touch refuse to comm with iPod interface in the car. Just wait for a iTunes update?

    Hi,
    I installed 11.2.2.3 2 days ago and have since then not been able to sync my iPod Classic (not recognized by iTunes anymore and alll data has been wiped but show up in Win explorer when in Disk mode with my label on it "Nik's iPod") my old iPod Touch appear to have all data left but doesn't communicate with my car anymore.
    Nedless to say none of the other Apple devices in our house will be updated or connected until this is resolved.
    Is this related to the iTunes update?
    If so should I just wait for a new update to come out that can help me get these things sorted?
    I have tried most of the different remedies listed in this forum to no avail and being computer illiterate (not comepletely but anyway) I just want to know if this is a known problem that I can successfully fix with a bit of fiddling or if its time to seek out a genius bar somewhere and get some help.
    Nik

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for the help but I am unfortunately still not able to get my iPod Classic to connect. I have tried all the tricks in the article that you linked to.
    One thing is that when I reset the iPod (menu and center until the logo pops up) I get a critical error in iTunes and it shuts down. Could that indicate that my problem is with the iTunes installation rather than the iPod?
    I have tried to re-install iTunes before but maybe I shpuld give it  a go again?
    Brgds,
    Nik

  • IPOD 40 gb click wheel not recognized

    I put in my ipod n da computer says it not recognized i tried resetting but i cant restore because it says ipod not connected im using a usb cable and i dunno wut to do ne help would be appreciated

    I've got the same problem mate. The clickwheel started to ge dead in places like around skip forward track area, (which was annoying to say the least.) But the other day it completely died, now it tries to start up showing the apple logo, then you can hear inside the hardrive spin up then a loud click then it tries this again about 5 times before showing the support website.
    Ive probably had the ipod for about 2 years.
    Annyoing since its a 40gb ipod and i've barely filled up 13gb. I might take it into see what the shop says but i sort of know its gonna be not worth repairing. Plus the video ipods are looking really good.
