Ipod stops syncing after about 11gb on data transferred

ok, my ipod stops syncing after i transfer about 11gb of data.
my music collection alone is 12gb, i also have alot of photos and videos and other contents.
it doesnt matter which format the ipod is in, mac formatted or windows formatted its the same result.
its an 80Gb ipod classic.
any one have any clue as to why this is happening?

Actually at 1200ish songs the iPod hard drive starts making some severe clicking/clanking noises. I'm guessing it means the hard drive is screwed since it's the same symptoms as my last iPod
Why does this happen? Both my iPods were about 2 years old when the hdd's started clicking, surely hdd's last for more than two years?

  • IPod stops syncing after a while, won't eject and then crashes iTunes

    Whenever I try to update my iPod Classic 80GB, after 1000 songs or so the iPod stops syncing (gets stuck on a song). Then the iPod won't eject, even when dragged into trash.
    Then, when trying to eject iPod or quit iTunes, iTunes crashes and has to be force quitted with iPod cable removed.
    When I check my iPod it says there is no music/photos etc on it.
    I have reinstalled the latest iTunes and restored my iPod with the latest version, my OS software is all up to date too.

  • IPod will stop syncing after about an hour and then can't write to iPod

    I recently added several thousand songs to my iTunes. But my ipod will not sync all the songs. After about a thousand songs, it will come up with an error message saying that it can't write to the ipod. If I try to reconnect, the ipod does not show up in itunes and then it asks me to format the ipod again.
    If i restore the ipod using the ipod updater 2006-01-10, I can get it to sync up again but it will come up with the same error message again after about a thousand songs but never in the same place.
    I've tried following the troubleshooting techniques on the ipod support site for the ipod not showing up in the itunes window. But the ipod will show up in the itunes window immediately after I restore the ipod so I don't think that this is the problem. It's after the error message and when I try to reconnect it to the computer that it does not show up.
    Any suggestions?

    Try unsyncing and resyncing all of your music.  To do this, remove the tick mark next to Sync Music from under the iPod's Music tab and click Apply in the lower right hand corner. This will remove all tracks from the iPod. When it has finished, re-apply the check mark and again apply the changes to resync all music back over to the device. Make sure that Sync Entire library is still selected and that Sync only checked songs and videos is NOT selected.
    Any luck there?
    Where are you getting the total number of songs at on both iTunes and your iPod Touch?

  • Curve 9360 Blackberry ID, other Apps stop syncing after about 2 hrs, must reset each time

    I have a new Curve 9360, downloaded google sync, voice, and maps, but not much more.  After about 2 hrs or so, all applications including Blackberry ID, google sync, voice, and maps stop updating.  When I go to Blackberry ID Account, it gives error "Unable to retrieve your Blackberry ID account information."  But after a hard or soft reset all applications work for about 2 hrs.  I have already performed a "Factory Reset" with the Blackberry Desktop Software.
    It seems like it must be a global setting that gets changed after a few hours each time.
    Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Also the os that's installed is the 1st os 7 released if I'm not mistaken and buggy best to update to latest os.
    Once update is do not install all 3rd party applications immediatley some maybe incompatible with os 7. Install 1 at a time and test phones response for a few days.

  • Ipod stops syncing after 20 songs

    This happened to my other ipod... i went to the genius bar and the guy said there was no problem with it (he connected it and synced 40 songs in one go) but i wound up spending about 60 dollars on a refurbished ipod (from the genius bar) and i came home and the same thing is happening, it will only sync 20 songs at a time.

    After nearly 2 months, and at least 40 hours, I've resolved the issue. First, it is not with the iPod or the sync cable. I've worked with "Geniuses" from the Apple Store, and found that the problem results from an iTunes corruption in Vista. The only way to correct the issue is time consuming, and not for anyone who is uncomfortable working in the depths of the OS.
    First, copy the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file from your Music\iTunes\ directory to your desktop. Next, shut down your antivirus software (temporarily). Then uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, and the iPod Updater using the "Add/Remove Software" tools in the Vista Control Panel. Reboot.
    Run RegEdit, and remove all entries pertaining to iTunes or QuickTime. I'm sure that only a few need to be removed, but I don't know which. So I removed them all. Reboot again. Be very careful doing this. If you don't know what you're doing, you could easily damage the OS and have major issues simply running the PC. If you're uncomfortable at all in doing so, don't do it. Find a pro to help.
    Shut down the antivirus software again. Download iTunes installer (w/QuickTime) from the Apple website. Run the installer. Reboot.
    Run iTunes. Don't try to play any files, shop the iTunes store or anything until you do the next step. From the File menu, select Import. Navigate to the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file that you copied to your desktop earlier. Select this file. Depending upon how many files you have in your library, this could take a minute or two, or much more. In my case, it was about 20 minutes to import 8000 tracks.
    If you purchased any song from the iTunes store, you'll need to Authorize iTunes for these. To do so, select "Authorize Computer" from the Store menu. You'll need to enter your Apple account e-mail address and password. If songs were purchased on more than one account, you'll need to enter each.
    Once all this is done, you should be able to sync your iPod successfully. Good luck.

  • Mini stops syncing after just over 100 songs

    My mini was working fine but I noticed that a couple of songs I usually listen to skipped in the same spot and one even began to lock up my ipod. I hooked up my ipod to resync all of my tunes. I have about 750 songs on my ipod normally, but after about 70 songs had been uploaded it really began to slow down and at 110 or so it stopped syncing. It says it is uploading but there is no progression. I then cannot eject my ipod and I have to force quit itunes. I've reset my ipod numerous times as well as tried to restore many times as well. Nothing seems to work. I still get the same problem every time I try to upload songs. Any ideas?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I think maybe you should call Apple or contact customer service..You could probably update back to I tunes 6 because thats what I have right now on my computer and it works just fine with it..go to oldversion.com and you could try to reinstall 6..The last time I checked Itunes was unavailable. Hope this helps

  • Apple updates start to download and then stop inexplicably after about 4,7Mb

    Apple updates start to download and then stop inexplicably after about 4,7Mb with message download server unavailable or download file can not be read. This is a recent problem on my Macbook Pro.
    Any ideas?

    Your problem is that everyone seems to be using the same iTunes store account (ID).  That's fine when a family wants to share purchased items, but that's the rub - everyone is tapping into the same account, so they can download whatever is available.
    As for icloud accounts, icloud is designed for single user use.  If multiple users share the same icloud account then all their devices will be synced together - same emails, same contacts and calendars, same notes, etc.  There is no privacy or division of data in this scenario.  The usual advice is for everyone to have their own ID for icloud, and share the family ID for iTunes store.

  • After upgrading to 10.8.3 my Apple USB keyboard stops working after about 3 hours

    Mac Pro 3,1
    OS X 10.8.3 Server
    32GB RAM
    Apple USB Keyboard works fine after reboot (typing on it now), stops responding after about 3 hours.
    I see nothing in Console that looks like the culprit. Here is everything around the last time it happened - between 11:28 and 11:30 they keyboard just stopped working. Unplugging and re-plugging doesn't bring it back. Changing USB ports doesn't bring it back. Rebooting is the only thing that seems to work. Bluetooth keyboard works before and after.

    Hey Doug,
    Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your keyboard backlight is not working upon startup, the following may resolve your issue:

    After performing normal troubleshooting, these symptoms may indicate that an SMC reset may be necessary:

    The keyboard backlight appears to behave incorrectly (on Mac computers that have this feature).
    You may also want to reset your computer's PRAM:

  • Canon Rebel T5i automatically stops recording after about 6 seconds. How can I disable or fix this?

    I just got a Canon Rebel T5i and I was testing out the video and several times it will automatically stop recording after about 6 seconds. How can I fix or disable this?

    And while buying said faster card... buy a REPUTABLE brand from a reputable vendor.  I've come to the conclusion that there are a lot of fly-by-nights making cards that are not as fast as they claim to be.
    Reputable vendors are companies like Sandisk and Lexar.  But as an SD card is just a plastic card with a sticker on it, and stickers are pretty easy to fake, buy the card from a vendor you can trust is not selling fakes. 
    This is one item where it is probably not a good idea to try to save money by finding the cheapest deal you can find on the Internet.

  • How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

    How can I make the ipod stop itself after playing one song?

  • When recording a slideshow, why does audio stop recording after about 30 seconds even though slides and presentation continues?

    I'm doing everything the same and have made many successful slideshow recordings using Keynote, but since updating the Yosemite and then updating Keynote the audio just stops recording after about 30 seconds.
    The slides keep on changing and recording the video, but after 30 seconds the audio stops recording even though it seems to be registering the sound and the mic is not muted in Keynote.
    Is there some change or new setting I am not aware of that needs to be altered?
    Any advice would be helpful as I need to record a lot of presentations.
    OS X Yosemite version 10.10
    Keynote version 6.5
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

    I can't imagine this will work as the the application is tied into a specific computer and user ID to prevent unauthorised use of single use applications. Copying over has not worked with previous versions of Keynote.
    It worked for me. I guess it could be because we bought our Macs together and have home sharing or something. Either way, I'm running Yosemite but with Keynote 6.2.2. and not updating again until Apple do something about this bug.

  • Track stops recording after about an hour

    Hi Everyone,
    I am trying to record from some old tapes in order to create mp3s. The track stops recording after about one hour. The Tape is over one hour long. I read about a similiar problem in the forum and tried dragging the purple timeline marker to the right but it won't move any further. What is this called and what does it do? I also read about changing the sampling rate, but I cannot find where to do this. Where do I find documentation on this?
    Many Thanks for any suggestions.
    Regards,
    Bill

    Garageband 3 doesn't record more than 1999 beats (GB2: 999). Since in your case the beats don´t matter, you can lower the tempo to the minimum (40 bpm) to get a maximum recording time of 3:18:48.
    As for the sample rate: You can't change the export sample rate of GB, it's always 16 bit, 44.1 kbit/s (internally GB works with a higher resolution).

  • Ipod stops charging after a few seconds

    My 4th gen ipod stops charging after 6-8 seconds of being plugged in. Since the battery is dead, the black screen with a red battery pops up whenever it's plugged in and then disappears after 6-8 secs or being unplugged. Both the home and power buttons are broke so I'm unable to activate in any way besides plugging it in.

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Satellite A60 stops automatically after about 1/2 - 1h of usage

    Hello,
    My PC stops automatically after about 1/2-1 h of operation.
    Can you help ?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    Sounds a little bit like a overheating
    Did you notice a higher temperature?
    High temp could affect the hardware parts like CPU, RAM, GPU
    What do you think about that?
    The A60 is a little bit old and I think there could be dust inside the fans check if you can remove dust using compressed air spray.
    This should help to decrease the temp.
