Ipod replaced 3x -- could it be the computer?

The same thing has happened to my 20G clickwheel 3 times. First songs skip when they are playing, then Ipod freezes, I try resetting and then the folder wth ! pops up, can't turn it back on. My friend hooked up to my computer, and the same happened to him. I've just received my third replacement ipod and I want to avoid having this problem again. Any advice would be appreciated.

I just sent in an order for repair of my sons Ipod 20G for the second time. I have two additional Ipods on the same computer another 20G and a mini. They haven't had any problems at all. I don't understand how it could be the computer but anythings possible. Which means that eventually it will happen to the others. I spent $1000.00 on 3 Ipods alone and another $300.00 in acessories and repair service postage for this crap. Does yours click inside when you attempt to turn it on?

    This usually indicates you really have a 2nd gen unit. Check the model number on the back. A1288 is 2nd gen. A1318 is 3rd gen.

    First try this:
    - Go on iTunes computer
    - plug in the iPod
    - authorize your device from store/authorize
    - iPod / transfer from iPod by right clicking on the left pane
    This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud.

  • When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer.  It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed.  The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer.  Any thoughts?

    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?

Not only did the computer erase my music i had no idea how to get it back I contacted Apple on the phone but the name was american and i found it really hard to understand him. How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
    Respond please!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Bootcamp 5.1 Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation

    (Can't try this one because I don't have physical media or a burner and don't want to upgrade to 8.1)
    Tried maskedferret's and jarvil's instructions that might work for others but not for me. Also the process must be older version of disk utility. There is no "minus" to remove a partition in the one I have.
    Half the problem is those threads are so long with people posting up their problems that are not even the same problem. So then you have to sift through all these responses that aren't even really releated.
    If you're problem isn't this problem then please don't use this thread to solve another issue.
    “Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of the installation. To install Windows, restart the installation.”
    I can't find in the release notes of any beta Maverick update that this is being addressed.
    1) Does anyone know if there is a fix coming out for this?
    2) Is there some solution that doesn't require to have physical media?
         a) I have Windows 8.1 iso and product key
         b) I have a 32gb USB stick that I had Bootcamp format
         c) I have a spare 16gb USB stick.  Both are USB 2.0 so I can't do Windows To Go. Maybe I should get one.
    3) I have no idea how tell which MacBookPro I have since no one at Apple seems to believe in model numbers. I just ordered it online two weeks ago and received it this week so I guess it's the "latest" model hardware wise.  Running 10.9
    The cloest possible solution I came across was to boot up Windows 8 OS on a USB stick (Not the install) and run diskpert or fdisk for mbr thought I can' try this out because I don't have Windows To Go.  I'd rather have it worked problem from Apple if I can figure out when they plan to update I might be willing to wait.

    Finally got a physical CD and to the third link option still same issue. Even worse actually as even after formating the partition I get a "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"
    Found my "-" minus remove parition in Disk Utility. Will attempt maskedferret's again

  • Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. via UEFI installation

    I recently performed a clean WIndows 8.1 installation using my new Hard drive. However, under UEFI mode from BIOS, everytime the setup process reaches the "Installing Updates" stage, I kept on receiving an error "Windows could not update the
    computer's boot configuration, Installation cancelled. 
    I was a bit puzzled as everytime I install Windows 8.1 via LEGACY mode from BIOS, setup finishes! I cannot tell whether I need to mod my BIOS or what. 
    please help.

    Hi,
    Please make sure that Delete all partitions/volumes on the disk # (ex: Disk 0) that you want to install Windows 8.1 as UEFI on until that disk # shows as unallocated space.
    Try again to install Windows 8.1 again.
    If it still fails, please post back the setuperr.log and setupact.log under C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\ for our research. You can copy them out in WinPE command mode.
    Also, I would like to check if you use bootcamp to install Windows 8.1 on Mac computer. If so, check the solution here:

    Hi,
    Please make sure you have format the system drive and perform a clean install, not just override or upgrade from the previous system.
    The bootloaders for Windows Vista and Windows 7 are quite similar,  you could have a look at this article and see if it's helpful to you:
