IPod sync issue since installing SL

I installed Snow Leopard several weeks ago and I have been having a problem with my 4 1/2 year old Classic iPod since. iTunes gives me the message "The iPod cannot be synced. You do not have the privilege to make changes". I am logged on to my usual Admin account (I have checked and it is still Admin).
If I take the iPod and use it on my PowerBook, not only does it work OK but if I then take it back to my iMac it also then works fine. But the next time I go to use it (without first opening it on the PowerBook) I get the same error message as above.
I searched messages on here and someone was having a similar problem. Their resolution was to delete a file called 'Local' in username>Library>Application Support and I have tried this but it didn't correct the iPod problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HI Theodore,
Repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Sync issues since installing 9.1.0.79.

I dont seem to be the only user with this issue and have tried several different 'fixes' posted in this thread, all to no avial. I can only think that if more people keep raising this as an issue the software wizards will updated iTunes with an offical fix (hopefully)....

my problem was similar, but slightly different...I couldn't sync new video downloads to my ipod touch. After posting on this forum and not getting responses for 2 days, I gave up and emailed itunes support. They answered actually within about 4 hours, not bad....they said all windows users are having problems with 9.1, and they recommended that I uninstall 9.1.0.79 and install 9.0.3 until Apple comes up with another version that fixes all the issues. They also gave me a link to download 9.0.3.
So, I did this and now when I try to open itunes it won't open and I get an error message like this:
"The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
So, I've emailed this to them now, and have asked for the next step to get going again. That's what I'm waiting for, but does someone on this forum have an answer for this now?

IPod Sync issues in Windows 7

I know that there is little to no support for Windows 7 yet, but, is anyone else having an issues syncing their iPod 5th G with iTunes? It will appear in Windows and in iTunes and then it will be "ejected" and disappears from Windows. iTunes will give a "timed out" error because the iPod is missing. I have an iPhone 3GS and that runs with no issues.
I'm running the final build of 7 (6.1.7600). Anyone have any suggestions?

Hey guys! I was in the same boat as all of you, but I was sure their had to be a solution to this problem. I found a solution that worked for me! Ive got the Windows 7 64bit, and my ipod is sycning as we speak! Follow these steps.
1. Disconnect your iPod Shuffle from your PC
2. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL, start the Task-Manager, go to Processes and end the process for "ITunesHelper.exe" (this will prevent iTunes from starting when you re-connect the Shuffle.
3. Now, re-connect the iPod Shuffle - iTunes should NOT start by itself and you should be able to see your Shuffle within the list of your drives (My Computer.
4. Next, download SharePod from http://www.getsharepod.com/download/ and extract the .zip file and start the Sharepod.exe
5. If everything works out, Sharepod will recognize your iPod Shuffle
6. Sharpod won't start if iTunes is open but it will work vice-versa. So, start iTunes NOW and keep Sharepod OPEN.
7. iTunes will re-detect your Shuffle but it will still be available as a hard-drive afterwards as long as you keep Sharepod OPEN. Detection can take up to 30 seconds so be patient.
8. Now go to the iPod Summary tab within iTunes and DESELECT "open itunes when this ipod is attached". Scroll down on the same page and also check the "enable disk use" checkbox. Click the contents tab, then the settings button and choose the amount of disk space to allocate. I chose 5MB. Click back to the settings tab and APPLY those changes.
9. Close iTunes WITHOUT ejecting the iPod.
10. Close Sharepod and simply disconnect your iPod Shuffle (i.e. pull it off the dock).
11. Reboot your computer. After the reboot ITunesHelper.exe will be running again you don't have to care about Sharepod or processes anymore. That is, you can delete sharepod if you want.
12. Simply connect your iPod to the PC as you used to do, open up iTunes and everything should work as it did back in the good old days.
NOTE: Don't eject the iPod from within iTunes going forward, simply disconnect it from the PC manually by pulling it off the dock yourself when you're done.
This solved my sync issues, and I hope it does for you too.

IPOD SYNCING ISSUE!!

pls help!!!
my ipod/itune connection was perfectly fine--until i put a movie on!! i put the movie into itunes, synced the nano n itunes and the movie workd perfectly fine on my nano.(the songs were removed from the nano since the movie needed alot of space) i now removed the movie from my itunes n thot by syncing the ipod with itunes, the songs would come back and the movie be gone from the nano.. WELLLLL the movie is off, but the songs wont come back onto my nano!!! i keep tryin to sync it but itunes says "Ipod sync is complete". THERES NOTHING ON MY NANO! i reinstalled evrything, reset the nano..reboot reboot reboot! PLEASE HELP! =(

Actually, if iTunes thinks your iPod is connected to a different library, and you tell it to sync automatically with the current iTunes library, iTunes will erase all the songs on your iPod, and then re-load them all.
It is possible that something happened on your iTunes that caused it to re-generate the library. So while it's the same computer, and same user account, the library may not have the same identifier it used to.
I'd recommend just letting iTunes have its way and reload everything. Make sure there isn't any music on you iPod that isn't in iTunes first. They have it do that big sync right before you go to bed. When you get up in the morning, it will be done and you'll have your iPod back.

Ipod sync issues with itunes 11

Any help appreciated.

Computer issues since installing Photoshop Elements 11

I have had nothing but problems in other software programs since installing PE11. The most recent? PE11 replaced ALL of my programs with itself. Try to open Excel? You get PE11. This happened with every program. I had to totally uninstall PE11 to get my computer back. Any suggestions? I have a newer HP running Windows 7. I'd like to use PE11, but wondering if its worth the frustration.

sounds good.

Error in sync Manager since installing B1 PL19

Hi,
since I installed Pl19 for B1, i get this problem in Syncmanager
when the application loads, I get a popup saying
"The procedure entry point MiniDumpWriteDump could not be located in the dynamic link library dbghelp.dll"
also in the log window of sync Manager I then see
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and if I click "Try Connection" I get this error (along with the original popup)
SBO Error #127: - The specified procedure could not be found.
Event log shows this information for that error:
SBO Error #127: - The specified procedure could not be found.
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.Synch.SetCompany()
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.Synch.get_SBOCompany()
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.Synch.get_Plugins()
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.Synch..ctor(Company company, SecurityTicket ticket, ArrayList plugins, Int32 pricinginterval)
   at NetPoint.SynchService.NPSynchService.CycleTimer_Tick(Object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
All of the settings for sync are now blank
I have tried this on two machines, and the result is the same, reinstallation of Netpoint sync manager did not change the situation.
The odd thing is that I did a full sync immediatley after upgrading to PL19 and it worked just fine, however the server then was rebooted and since then, I have this problem. DI API has been updated using the version supplied in the PL19 upgrade package.
Netpoint version is 5.9.6, Running on Windows Server 2000 SP4.

Hi Shawn,
Thanks for the information.
Regarding your points
-I originally went with the Synch Manager installed on my SAP Server. However this caused issues with a 3rd party addon (called Amodat) so I moved Netpoint Sync manager to another server, where it worked happily (with the DIAPI installed)
-Since the upgrade to PL19 the problems occurred, specifically when I rebooted the server two days after the upgrade, presumably at this point something got re/un registered and this caused problems.
-The PL19 DIAPI installation, (which also coincidentally killed my Amodat and required me to delete the 680318 folders from my temp directories, there is a sdn note about it somewhere) is, I am sure, the cause of the problem but then again I have removed it fully and installed ONLY the 2004 DIAPI and still I get no joy.
-The regsvr32 test on the SAPbobsCOM dll was used just to verify that the DLL was not being properly registered on the server, other than that I have used the installer to install/remove it at all times.
-My initial concern was that something had changed in the DIAPI for PL19 and that (forward compatibility aside, it doesn't always work!) the Interop dll that shipped with the Netpoint Sync was going to need updating.
-However since I did manage to get the sync Manager running on another machine since I think this is probably an issue for SAP SDK/B1 Support and not Netpoint directly.
Phew. I guess what I'm saying is, I was just hoping that someone elese had the same problem and a handy solution already, I will continue to chase this via normal support channels from a B1 perspective.
So thanks a million to everyone for all your help so far, if you come across anything please post it up here!

ITunes to iPod syncing issues

I updated my iPod a week ago (after installing OS.8), where by all my music was removed from my iPod, and I couldnt sync my music back on it. So I gave it a week for any bugs, etc... Have just been asked to update again so did that, but I still cant sync my music!
I click what I want, click 'Apply', it syncs and then I look on my iPod - nothing! So I click 'Sync', still nothing! I use my iPod for going to the gym and this is getting old very fast.
What are you playing at? What is the point in having a device to play music if it cant play music?!

Same issue with an iPod Classic 160GB. After the update, losing everything and restoring (twice), the device is recognized in iTunes, the source destination is correct, and it says it's syncing, but the process completes in a matter of seconds with no music pulled into the iPod.

New Computer - Updated iPod - Syncing Issues

Greetings!
I bought a new computer in January. At that time, I transferred my songs over to my new computer from my old computer using a cross over cable. At that point, both of my iTunes libraries were the same.
Since then I downloaded more songs and updated songs in the library, so I decided to finally sync my iPod classic to the new computer. I knew that I would have to restore the iPod, but since the libraries were the same, there should be no problem, right? Wrong!
Before erasing the iPod and syncing the songs, I stupidly decided to upgrade the software for the iPod (which I haven't done since I got it, due to reading related problems on here). So that goes fine and erase the iPod. Now on to syncing the library.
All the songs sync perfectly. The problem is with my video files. I had these movies on my iPod before I updated and erased the iPod. But now, iTunes says that the files are incompatible! I do not understand since they worked perfectly fine before! What happened?
According to iTunes they are MPEG-4 video files. The movies were made specifically for an iPod, so I do not understand what is going on. I figure that it might be due to the upgrading I did, but when I restore the iPod it always comes back with the same version (since there was no previous version on the new computer).
Is there a way I can fix the MPEG-4 problem or download and install the previous versions of the iPod software since iTunes does not give me an option? Should I try going back to previous version on my older computer (will this even work)? Mainly I would like to know why the MPEG-4 file that worked perfectly before is giving me problems and if it can be fixed.
Thank you!
(a frustrated) Lindsay

Can't sync nano since installing itunes 10 - "unknown error"

I haven't been able to sync any music to my 5th gen nano since updating to itunes 10 - it tells me something like "ipod cannot be synced - unknown error", or else just refuses to acknowledge the sync at all. The strange thing is, when I connect my ipod to itunes, the songs I've tried to sync appear in my ipod library under 'devices' (itunes seems to think they HAVE been synced), but when I check my ipod, they're definitely not there.
I've tried reinstalling itunes and reloading my library, but it's made no difference. My ipod software is up to date as well.
Any help would be great, as troubleshooting doesn't seem to cover this issue.

Okay it turns out that this is an error 13019, yet itunes support seems to think this error only occurs when syncing to an iphone or ipod touch, not a nano....! So it doesn't suggest any fixes for the nano.
And I tried an earlier version of itunes but the error still occurred, so I guess it has nothing to do with itunes 10 after all.
I've read about 'restoring' the ipod to get rid of this error, but will this delete all music on the ipod? I have music on there that I no longer have anywhere else so it would be a shame to have to lose it just because apple can't offer a better fix.

Scion TC Ipod stereo issues since itunes 7 release?

I upgraded my scion tc back in may of this year to an ipod stereo my ipod worked great with it up until i synced it with itunes 7.0. After this the ipod would freeze up when changing tracks as well as the hard drive could be heard spinning. Ultimately one ipod has been destroyed and the replacement is on its way out. I have had the stereo replaced as well as the car completely checked over by scion and they cannot find anything wrong with it. It has also exhibited issues after being formatted by a mac as well as a pc both running the same versions of itunes and both had the same effect. Has anyone else experienced issues with ipod connectivity in cars since upgrading to itunes 7?
pc Windows XP Pro

I finally gave up on iTunes 7. After uninstalling iTunes 7 and reinstalling iTunes 6, my iPod became more reliable and Windows XP would consistently mount it. Even though iTunes 7 is well conceived, I founded considerably slower than version 6. The slowdown becomes apparent when iTunes automatically starts with connecting an iPod. Syncing the iPod with a large music database will cause a slowdown; even a crash.
I do not believe that iTunes is multi-threading well on Windows XP. My other syncing applications do not put a strain on my computer’s resources. My computer handles Photoshop 10 megapixel processing and a 2 gigs bi-directional sync over my network without a hiccup. iTune grinds my computer to a halt with just a 2 gigs syncing to the iPod. In addition, all startup items were disabled in the troubleshooting process.
Even though features like the Summary tabs and view by album art appeal to me, I will hold off on the iTunes 7 upgrade in place of speed and reliability. I have a couple recommendations as well. These suggestions are for people with large music databases and a large number of hard drive and firewire devices.
TURN ON – Automatically update selected playlist only
TURN OFF – Open iTunes when this iPod is attached
If you restore you iPod, leave your computer alone for several hours while iTunes fills up a large capacity iPod. It took me all weekend to reload my iPod.

Weird issue since installing iOS 4.3

Since I've installed iOS 4.3 my iPod Touch 4 (only about 8 months old & perfect condition) has been acting strange. It's hard to describe this issue but I've noticed little glitches here and there with some of the artwork/graphics of the OS.
For example when my iPod is locked, on the locked screen at the top (menu bar) the lock icon becomes snowy/glitchy. I've had this happen when notifications pop up there is a background outline of a square that is also snowy.
The graphics for some reason have a snowy and animated outline. This iPod is not hacked or dropped or anything I don't understand why this is happening. I've turned it off and turned it back on and still having the issue.
It is NOT a major issue, it is odd though and having issues with the display on this type of device still can't be a good sign right? I've never seen this anywhere before so I thought I'd ask on here. It does go away after a few seconds.
Here are some photos I made in Photoshop to simulate what I mean. Notice the static "noise" around the icons. Sometimes they actually flicker in an animated motion and are even bigger at times. This has only happened with pop up notifications and the lock icon as simulated. This has only happened when the device is sleep and I press the home button to find it spazzing out. It's always random, which is why I have no actual photos. When it did happen (about 4 times this evening so far) it was idle for about an hour or so until I bothered with it. If I messed with it after being idle after maybe 5-30 minutes it's normal. Other than that this issue never happens and I've a heavy user of the iPod. Here are the photos:

Help please

Hi,
if you hold those two bottoms at the same time, it will simply reboot without any loss of data. It did the job for me, so I hope it will solve it for you as well. I had the exact same visual glitch you had. You need to hold them together for about 10 seconds, and then the "apple" will appear and it will reset.
Edit: I am not sure what happens if you restore it ... I guess you will lose the data unless you back it up somehow. Well, this is the limit of my expertise I am new at Apple iOS myself

Ipod sync issues with Windows 7

I just purchased a new computer with the Windows 7 operating softeware and now I cannot sync my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) but I do not experience this issue with my old computer with Windows Vista. When I need to update my Ipod I have to connect it to my old computer. Help. I do not want to pay Apple for support when I see countless post about this issue.

Diane Wordsmith wrote:
Are you set to manually manage on both computers? If not, an auto sync on one of them will erase the iPod and place that computer's library on it.
No that wouldn't be it. The manual vs. Auto sync setting is stored on the iPod, not on iTunes. So if you take a manually managed iPod and plug it into an iTunes it has never connected to before, the new iTunes will still recognize the iPod as manually managed and not do anything bad to it (in theory).

IPad & iPod sync issues with new iTunes

Since the latest iTunes update,
1. My iPad Mini won't allow me to swap out TV episodes. I routinely change what episodes to carry around with me. It will add and remove mp4 video files without a problem. One time I even saw a download progress bar as it transferred episodes over, or so I thought.
2. Syncing my iPod Touch never used to be a problem. Now it takes a long time (delays during waiting for items to copy), and I cannot seem to bring songs I purchased on the device over into Windows. It used to do it before the main syncing. I tried to download the new songs from the iTunes Store but it halted and says the following:
"There was a problem downloading -name of song-. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
What's going on? I really need to bring these songs over to my hard drive.
Thanks for your help.

Well its simple. Just go to your finder and search for iphone. You will find a backup folder. But, you should just be able to restore your iphone. Then after restore it will ask which backup your will like to use. Then in the drop down menu select your phones name and it should restore all contacts,text messages and notes as well as bookmarks. It worked fine for me until I used iFuntastic and Apptap. I guess it alterd the backup file and deleted all my notes. So, unless you have "hacked" your phone it should restore and re enter your info fine.
