IPOD recognized during SYNC and then disappears from My Computer
My IPOD is recognized during the SYNC phase and as soon as the SYNC phase is done the IPOD disappears in My Computer. I have tried restoring my IPOD, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, deactivated the save power on the USB hubs and other suggestions. There is no problem with it showing up in itunes or in the Device Manager. When I plug in my flashdrive it shows up fine in My Computer. I can unplug the IPOD from the cable and plug it back in and it will again show up in My Computer until it finishes SYNCing and then again disappears. HELP! I don't know what else to try!

ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?
I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

Ipod wont stay connected and icon disappears from finder
I have a new 80g video ipod, have had it for about three weeks. Up until today all was fine, but now it won't stay connected to itunes after updating files. It connects, shows up on the desk top for a few seconds, updates any new files and then just drops out. It keeps the do not disconnect screen for a few seconds, then the red warning logo disappears and after that i can not do anything with the ipod in itunes. The ipod music list is greyed out and I can't add any new photos or change anything. The only thing I have done differently since it was last working ok was I connected my camera using the camera connector and uploaded some pictures from that.
I have done a reset and now a restore but that hasn't helped.
is the problem with the ipod or itunes? What can I do?Sorry, this may be a case of "always read the manual first"!
I think that what I thought was a fault with the ipod was in fact due to the default preference for auto syncing being enabled. As I had my previous ipod set to manual update I was used to being able to make changes to the ipods lists whilst connected, but as my new ipod is still set to automatically sync I now realise that this is why the ipods list was greyed out. In this mode it appears that it is usual that as soon as you connect, itunes updates any changes and then disconnects and the red "do not disconnect" screen on the ipod goes. If there were no new additions or changes to playlists made since the last time you connected, the sync will only take a few seconds and then the ipod screen goes back to the menu list. Also, because in auto sync the ipod will be updated with a copy of your itunes contents, the ipod's list is greyed out due to the fact that you are not able to make changes independently from your itunes list. (i.e. you have to make the changes in itunes in order for these to be replicated on the ipod).
In order to keep connected and be able to alter things on the ipod list you have to have the preference set to manually update. Then the ipods contents are not greyed out and you can add, delete and change playlists without doing this in your main itunes on the computer.
So I think I have answered my own question, unless I am still misunderstanding something here, and the moral is, download and read the manual properly before worrying that there is something wrong with the machine!
I still think its a bit weird that the ipod icon disappears from he desktop though as I thought it would be at least recognised as being attached even if not in disc mode. Should it still show in the finder anyway? -
IPod Crashed During Sync And Now Its Dead...
Hi guys,
While syncing my other ipod touch to my computer, i don't know how it happened, but the ipod crashed, and then froze. iTunes said the sync had completed, but the ipod still displayed a frozen 'sync in progress screen'. I hard reset it because it was the only thing that i could do. Now, all that is displayed is an apple logo, however, it does show up in itunes.
Is a restore required? Please advise...I fixed it. Yay for me.

IPOD freezes while SYNCING - and then gets file error
Hello all,
i have a standard 40gb click wheel ipod, quite old, it works, but limited. The ipod just freezes while syncing now, it has been restored numerous times, but 2 not much avail, i can get one or two albums on there, then everytime i try and sync the ipod just freezes, and has to be reset. Every TIme i plug the ipod into my vista laptop it says, the says. SCAN AND FIX, ( because i couldnt get anything else to work i tried this ) and this is what vista told me
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/9118/vistafixesipodlu5.png
i was like woah, so i proceded to restore the ipod then it seemed to work, for a day. then went back to the freezing while syncing, then next time i plugged in the ipod, windows said the disk needs to be formated before it could be used, so i tried that ( cos itunes was doing sweet **** ALL ) and windows couldnt format it, and neither cos HP USB FORMAT Tool. so i reset the ipod, plug it back into vista, and behold, SCAN AND FIX COMES UP, so i click it, it fixes it, but only loads 1 album before it freezes while syncing again, i have the screenshots,it took 11 screenshots, to get the FULL MESSAGE, that vista chkdsk gave me, there was thousands of these "BAD LINKS IN LOST CHAIN at CLUSTER XXXXX Corrected" messages
im currently listening to Three Days Grace on the ipod, works GREAT, except if i try and put more then this ONE album on it, it freezes while syncing, and gives me the unknown file error. SO any ideas if this ipod can be fixed, cos itunes cant do anything, im assuming there is physical unrepairable damage to the HDD of the ipod and will need replacing if this ipod wants to be in full working order again.
The ipod is NOT under warranty either, so does any1 know where in Australia, it be fitted with a new HDD? Thanks
kind Regards,
Hayden

Ipad got stolen and then disappeared from "Find my IPhone"
Hello friends.
Few days ago Igot my IPad stolen. Once I found that out I have attempted to track it via "Finde my Iphone" app. Well it was switched off. I have sent the blocking command with the password and message. Nevertheless my Ipad just disappeared from Iclouds.
Please tell me, does it mean that my IPad has been nulled?
Couse otherwise there is a problem as most of my SMS messages got dublicated from my Iphone to IPad, and that is really ot good (BTW Apple made a big misstake doing so, they should have asked user befor enabling that feature, many persons had problems due to that).
Your comments will be very appriciated! Thank you in advance!Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

Can't change song options a and then disappears from library
I am importing audio books into my iMac (Leopard). I just updated to iTunes 8. When I import a cd, I go into info to change some of the options like from music to audiobook, compilation>no, remember position>yes, etc. When I do that, as it is "changing" all of the files, it's deleting them at the same time (just from the library, not the computer). I can't ad them back in. It acts like it's adding them, but nothing appears. The only way to get them back is to delete the library and add everything in the library folder back. Any suggestions?
Dave
in MaineI bought my daughter a MacBook Pro when she went away to college, and I then transfered my music collection from my computer into her iMac (which she no longer uses, so I do). Like xLegend above, I cannot change the info on the songs on the iMac.
The collection consists of songs I bought at the iTMS to a small degree, and songs I have ripped from my CD collection to a larger degree. There are also a number of songs that I have composed myself using Pro Tools and GarageBand, and I cannot change the info even on those...
Does anyone have an idea why this is, and how I can reclaim the ability to change information on the songs in my collection? Thank you for your help.

Ipod won't sync and freezes when connected to computer
I can no longer sync my ipod. When I connect it to my computer my ipod freezes. It remains frozen for 4-5 hours after disconnected from my computer. It eventually just unfreezes by itself.
I think it is a virus or something but my virus scan shows nothing.
any ideas?Have you seen this post? http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=8451088

IPod Touch stops syncing and disappears from iTunes
I have a problem with an iPod Touch 8GB: when connecting it to a MacBook, it starts syncing and transferring songs, but after a while it just stops syncing and disappears from iTunes. The iPod will still show "sync in progress", and it will still show up in the System Profiler, but not in iTunes.
If I cancel the sync from the iPod, the song library will be inaccessible ("Cancelling sync" or whatever it says) until I unplug the USB cable. If I keep trying (by unplugging and re-plugging it in), it will eventually finish syncing all songs, but it takes ages that way.
I have tried 2 different USB cables and upgraded to firmware 1.1.5 (it was 1.1.4 before). Any ideas?I have upgraded to 2.0.1 and the latest itunes as of today and still have the exact same issue. I have even tried the following with no luck :
1. Restart the ipod after this occurs and then sync again.
2. Deleted my entire list of Music and Videos from itunes and reloaded them back.
3. Formatted and Reinstalled Windows and tried syncing again.
Thanks to this issue, i dont even have a single song or Video on my ipod....
Can someone please Help.

I have installed bootcamp by the bootcamp assistant and worked properly.
Then I have partitioned the OS X 10.8.2 and installed another Mountain Lion System and I have got two MAC boot options and Bootcamp disappeared from the Option menu. However, Bootcamp still remained in the Startup Disk in the System Preferences. When I tried to boot Bootcamp using the Startup Disk it did not boot and received a message that there is no bootable device. I have not lost any data and can read Bootcamp partition from both OS X systems. Please advise how can I boot Windows / Bootcamp again? Thank you.Recommendation 1: Use a VM for this. It's essentially a giant C.F. to do this with native booting, and is potentially fragile.
But if you're going to ignore that and do this anyway, realizing that it can break anytime in particular with OS upgrades, and that it's very difficult to impossible to resize the three volumes once you've installed the systems:
1. create three partitions, setting each to be the size for OS X copy 1, copy 2, and Windows respectively. The Windows partition needs to be set to MS-DOS format (actually FAT32) which later in the Windows installer you'll reformat as NTFS. Do not use Boot Camp Assistant to resize/partition the disk, it simply won't work for this use case.
2. install OS X copy 1
3. install OS X copy 3
4. Use gdisk (available at sourceforge) which is a command line only application, to create a new hybrid MBR adding only the last partition (Windows) to the hybrid MBR and setting it to be bootable. As a concequence you will not be able to see/share either OS X volume from within Windows. The Windows NTFS volume will be visible from within OS X.
5. Install Windows to the only partition its installer should see (confirm size), you'll need to format it NTFS first, and I suggest using the fast format option if available. -
Whenever I try to sync my ipod, it'll say that it's syncing and then "waiting for changes to be applied" when it reaches step 5, then it closes and nothing happens. I don't know what to do

I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone so I am very terrible to input my IDs and Passwords with my hands on FireFox Home when I log into Facebook, Twitter etc... Is it issue or something like that? If you have some solutions to make it clear, can you tell me how to syncronize memorized IDs and Passwords for the webs. Thank you.
