IPod restarts after sync

I noticed my iPod sometimes restarts after a sync is completed. This doesn't happen all the time and update 1.0.1 doesn't seem to resolve this. Does anyone else have this "problem" or can someone explain why this happens?

Solution? Use firewire. $20 extra is lame (not very much, mind you) but now I don't have to send it in, and the uploads are a tiny bit faster. As I type, I'm 650 of 1300 songs in, without a hickup. Last night, it'd crash after 10. I'll be posting this in a few threads - I apologize if you're reading them all!

TS1425 I cannot eject my ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc. It states some of the files are being used by other applications. What does this mean? How can I get it to eject?

I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?

If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected. Try ejecting again after the restart.
If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage. When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes. This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.

IPod restarts when syncing music

My iPod restarts when its in the middle of syncing music. Sometimes it just restarts and other times it says the required folder cannot be found. Can anyone help me?

Plug your iPod into your computer and once iTunes open go to the iPod preference plane on the source list. There is the option to restore your iPod. Restoring means to erase your iPod completely and reinstall a new software on it. So if you have any files in your iPod that you don't have on your computer, back them up before you do the restoring. Otherwise, proceed with the restore (You need internet connection to do the restore). You should be fine after restoring it.

Ipod freezes after sync

My Ipod freezes after every sync. I am forced to reboot it. Has anyone seen this? How do I fix it?

I took to my local Apple location and they just replaced it.

IPod locks after sync

I am at the end of my rope! I have an 80 gig iPod classic synced to my MacBook. When I sync, at the end, the little round thing in the upper left stops turning and it freezes. If I leave it the freeze lasts for 30-45 minutes. When I reset it, it takes 30 minutes to get up and running again.
So far, I have exchanged the iPod 4 times. On each one I restored to factory settings, used disk utility, restored, etc. After the second exchange, I figured it was my MacBook, not the iPod, so trashed iTunes and re-loaded it, and I did an archive and re-install of both Panther and Leopard (once I switched). Eventually, my iPod would no longer update at all, which is why I exchanged it again...and again.
I just synced my newest iPod for the first time and it froze after sync again!!
Does anyone else have this problem? I have a 2nd generation iPod 10 gig and a 4th generation iPod 40 gig (that I gave to the kids as I upgraded) and they both sync fine.
Suggestions????

seems your iPod 10G and 40G working fine, but not 80G - it makes me feel that it is either a problem of 80G or there are some corrupted files on your iTunes library e.g. movies

ITunes will wipe my iPod classic after sync

I have an 8th Generation iPod classic 160gb. I have recently had the problem of when I would attempt to sync my iPod, it would sync most of the music, but then would throw error (-50) or error (-69). Upon resyncing my iPod, it would give the same error, but this time it would completely wipe my iPod, and force me to restore it.
I have restored it multiple times, I have reinstalled itunes (11.0.2.26), and still have the problem.
I have also run the diagnostics (hard reset iPod then hold the select button and the << button) and it has given me the following for HDSMARTDATA:
Retracts: 11
Reallocs: 13976
Pending Sectors: 2400
PowerOn hours: 254
Start/Stops: 17457
Temp: Current 35c
Temp: Min 66c
Temp: Max 255c
I have also taken my iPod to my local Apple Store, and they were unable to do anything besides restore the iPod, which I have already done on multiple occasions.
Does anyone have further insight into what is going on?

Those 2,400 pending reallocations are a bad sign. Add that to 13,976 sectors that have already been reallocated, and the corrupt thermal data, and I think it is safe to say your classic is toast.

Ipod blank after sync

Hi
I had my 30G ipod on pc now i am on a macbook pro. I went to disk util and erase my ipod. now when i sync with my itunes on my macbook pro, it seem to transfer all my songs to my ipod, but when i go to play back my ipod it is blank. Iam i missing somthig?

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

IPod Classic 120Gb restarts after syncing?

Hi,
When I sync and then eject my iPod classic 120Gb, immediately after rejecting (after the progress bar has gone all the way to the right) the iPod reboots...
This seems harmless, I'm having no other problems, I'm sure this isn't supposed to happen, right?
Any ideas, anyone?
TIA
Kevin Pitkin

I forgot to add that usually after I get some songs to sync then I try syncing again, it will end up erasing everything off the iPod and I have to start over.

Computer restarts after syncing 80gb ipod classic

Every time I sync my ipod classic,(80gb)the computer restarts itself. How do I stop this? I'm using windows XP home edition. Any advise will be greatly appreciated

Are you getting any sort of blue screen when the PC reboots? If so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x\[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
If the blue screen mentions a specific file (for example, “ati3duag.dll”), let us know what that is called too. (Exact spelling, please.)
Here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
If you're not seeing a blue screen (or if you’re just seeing a flash of a blue screen before the PC reboots), we can use the following technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
With those settings in place, does a blue screen appear before the PC reboots?

Constant restarting after sync with my itunes, fine with others.......

Hi there, my ipod worked fine until about 2 weeks ago. After a synchronisation with itunes it refused to start properly by itself and got stuck into a cycle of restarting over and over until its battery died.
I have checked forums and have tried rebooting, restoring etc (via disk mode etc), and although the behaviour with itunes connected via USB seems fine, once the ipod is disconnected it goes back to its restarting cycle.
Another interesting point is that when synced with another computer, it works. These other computers have had very little content (up to 10 albums for example), whereas my itunes contains close to the ipod's capacity (70gb / 80gb).
Any thoughts anyone?? I have thought of trying to do some sort of reformatting independant of itunes, but until this point have not worked out how. I am using itunes with windows XP.
Thanks in advance.

while it is trying to get mail, hold the home button for a few seconds until it goes back to the home page. if this doesn't work you may need to do a reset or delete the email accounts in question in settings and re-enter them.
Do you know how to do all of this?

Ipod restores after syncing

I have a beloved Ipod Classic. I recently installed a new computer, and brought over my itunes files to that computer. When I connected my Ipod to sync the music onto it, it said I needed to restore the Ipod, then the circle of **** began.
Now, when I plug in my ipod, I sync it, and when I click to eject, the ipod gets frozen on the "Okay to Disconnect" screen, then restarts itself after a minute, with no music on it. I then tried to click restore again, the Ipod restores, then Itunes says "Itunes has detected an Ipod in Recovery Mode. You must restore this Ipod before it can be used with Itunes". I restore, and the same thing happens!
Please help! I brought this to apple yesterday, and they barely looked at it and just offered me to fix it for $130!

If the On This iPod tab shows a list of songs, then they are being synced to the iPod. Not being able to play them there (from that tab in iTunes) is normal, if you use automatic syncing. The list is probably grayed out.
I'm not sure why the songs to not appear when the iPod is being used.
Try this test. Do a Restore again. If it asks if you want to sync your library to the iPod during thre Restore process, decline doing so. Also, show the iTunes sidebar, so that iTunes operates like it did before this version. From the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. You can change that back later.
Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES. On the Summary tab, check the box for Manually manage music and videos, if it is not already. Apply this change, if needed.
In the sidebar, "drop down" the iPod's content list and select Music there. To the right, is the list of songs on the iPod, which should be empty at the moment. NOTE: This is equivalent to the "On This iPod" tab.
Go to the iTunes Music library in the sidebar. Using the manual method to load the iPod, drag a small number of songs from the Music library to the iPod. When you go back to Music under the iPod, you should see those songs on the iPod's Music list. The list should no longer be grayed out, although you still may not be able to play the songs from there (in iTunes).
Now, try the things that did not work before... Eject and disconnect the iPod, and see if those songs appear on the iPod and are playable.
