Ipod Synching Problem
Ok so first time i realized something was wrong with my 120 GB ipod classic/video was when the ipod no longer connected or when i did connect the entire itunes would freeze. After i asked around with my tech savvy friends, they all told me to replug it in and hit restore. After i hit restored a variety of problems occured. First problem, the itunes froze again. so i unplugged my ipod from the computer. My ipod showed that i still had all my music titles in it but the music doesnt play. The second problem, was when i tried to resync to another computer, it "erased" everything and synced to that computer. Only instead of syncing to the computer it froze that computer's itunes. When i replugged it into the original computer, only 26 of my 3000 something songs made it onto my ipod before it automatically ejected itself. So the last problem now, is the computer no longer recognizes my ipod and when i plug it in, it will stay connected for a couple seconds then it automatically ejects itself. I restarted the computer, but then somehow instead of 26 songs i now have 88. I also did the whole update port thing in the device manager. Help?
is the update savec on your external hard drive or on your ipod? if so that is why it is saying that it is being used (the same exact hting happened to me when i tried to update to 1.2) i spent 6 hours trying to figure out how to update it without telling me that it is being used by another application, in the end, i had to delete everything on my computer that had to do wiht my ipod or itunes (make sure you do it through the add/remove programs in the control panel) then reinstalling everything and DO NOT UPDATE ITUNES!!!!!!! that is what was screwing mine up for some reason, my ipod updated just fine after that.

Annoying Ipod Synching Problem!!!- Laptop Crash- Now On Another Comp
I Have a Very Annoying and frustrating Problem with my Ipod Classic (80GB). Recently my laptop Crashed and i got all the music onto my main computer now.

But everytime i try to get the music onto the ipod it either, connects them disconnects, Has a Unkown error Or when i've Waited for ages getting all the music on to it, It says A required file is missing and so your ipod cannot be Syched AND i end up with nothing on the ipod and lots of wasted time
Someone Plz Help.
I reset my ipod and tried it in CD mode but it still didn't work!
What Should I Do?
Message was edited by: TigerMegz+I tried various troubleshooting steps and each time when plugging the iPod in Itunes it starts up and it takes maybe 1 minute trying to recognize it when the computer crashes and reboots automatically going to the black screen and doing a file dump.+
I'm curious about this point. Is there any flash of a blue screen at any point here? (That's a more familiar sort of thing to be seeing prior to the system doing a restart after a serious error.) -
Complicated Ipod synching problem
The most basic part of my problem is that my podcasts don't exist on my ipod. While they may be listed on my computer they do not transfer over, and when I hit the "podcasts" button it's completely blank as if none exist. Please stick with me and help me out, I know this is going to be complicated but I am at my wit's end with this. So let me tell you how this problem started so that you've got the background info...
I have a dell computer with a 30 gb hardrive computer. I got an external storage drive and thought it would be much better to tranfer all of my songs over to the external hardrive so that it would free up some space. So I transfered my itunes music folder over and checked my itunes. All my songs were still there, so I thought it was alright. Originally I wanted to delete the music folder and see if they were still there, but it was too big for the recycle bin, so I was forced to just delete it.
About a week later I discovered that about 300 songs were missing (out of approximately 500). I thought maybe it was from moving over the music folder, but I couldn't find any rhyme or reason to which files were missing. I had one video podcast, songs that I had tranfered over from my music folder (which used to be in windows media player format) and songs that I had uploaded with itunes. Now, I am not sure 100% if these disapeared at the initial transfer or not because I was pretty sure that they were all there after I transfered them, but a week later they were gone and so I'm not so confident if I just missed them or not. Although, I am pretty well sure that they were there after transfering the songs to the external drive.
To recover my songs, I made my Ipod a writable hardware and copied the songs back over to the real drive. Therefore, I had my old library back. But the podcasts are missing. So I thought that maybe it was because I needed to download the new itunes version. That turned into uninstalling the one I had initially installed, reloading it from the disc I got with the Ipod, and from there downloading the new version. The problem with that is that now I can't put certain songs on my ipod. It tells me that "some were not copied because software is too old. Go to summary tab and click update." So I go and click update and it tells me that I can't because the ipod is in use by some other application. The version it wants me to update is version 1.2. I don't know how it could be in use by some other application.
So the short and sweet is how do I get my podcasts on to my ipod, how do I update it to version 1.2 and is it possible to transfer my itunes folder over to my external hardrive and have it function from there? If so how do I do it so that I don't have the same problem again.
Please help me out on this. Even if you can't give me a definte answer I really, really appreciate you taking your time to review it. My ipod's practically frozen in time the way it is now.

New iPod, Don't want synching problems
Wanted to ask this question before problems arise....
I'm waiting on delivery of my new 80GB 5th generation iPod to replace the old one (60 GB iPod) that died.
I have heard about synching problems that happen when more than one iPod are connected to a single account. What precautions can I take to get all the music and audio books from one iPod to another?
Thanks in advance,
Sue in Sunny California*I have heard about synching problems that happen when more than one iPod are connected to a single account.*
Not sure where you heard this but many people use multiple iPod with a single computer. As you can see from this guide, it's well supported: How to use multiple iPods with one computer
*What precautions can I take to get all the music and audio books from one iPod to another?*
You just need to connect your new iPod. If the songs etc. you had on your previous iPod are still in iTunes they will load onto your new one. Follow the onscreen instructions to register and name your iPod, when that is done you'll be asked if you want it to update automatically from iTunes, choose yes if you do. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like -
When my ipod synchs with PC it finishes, but is not complete - only gets as far as M!
Yes, same problem, and it started recently, around the time of the v.10 iTunes update.
I have several podcast subscriptions in iTunes, with the unplayed episodes synced to my Touch as part of a playlist. Invariably, after an update and sync, one of the tracks is missing. I also have a collection of old radio programs, and will typically add six or seven to iTunes to sync them to my Touch, then replace them after I listen to them. Again, they go to a playlist, and again, one is always missing after the sync. In both cases, all show up in iTunes. Lately, I've noticed that it seems to be always the first one on the list that is excluded.
Undoubtedly a bug in iTunes. Until they fix it, here are the workarounds I've found. First, always sync twice in a row. That is, as soon as a sync finishes, hit the sync button again. It usually picks up the missing track on the second try. If I don't do a double-sync, the missing track never gets transferred, even if I sync again later. In that case, I then locate that track in iTunes, mark it as "played", then mark it "unplayed" and sync. That has always worked. -
My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer. Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1 iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"
On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it. -
Im having several ipod syncing problems. I have an Ipod touch, 4th gen with the standard USB cable that comes with to charge it and sync it with. Today, i plugged it into my computer like normal to sync some new songs onto it from itunes. But, it started acting up. First, it kept syncing on and off, and the sync sound wouldnt stop- it wouldnt stay synced. then, later, when it finally did, not long after it said "this device does not support charging," and itunes didnt recognize my ipod anymore, so i couldnt sync my songs. is there any way i can fix this? thanks in advance.
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- 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.

[iPod 5G] Problems with Windows' iTunes keeping it synced.
I've been struggling to get my iPod 5G working on my windows computer. This is what happens EVERY time:
- I connect my iPod, it gives me "Cannot read the content of the iPod XXX...."
- I Restore my iPod (have also formatted it completely several times).
- the iPod shows up in iTunes and it syncs.
- I take the iPod out and i reconnect and it starts all over again and i get: "Cannot read the content of the iPod..."
Connecting the iPod to my MacBook will make it appear in iTunes and I'll be able to see the music and update it.
Things i've tried (in semi-random order, except for the last one):
- Updated the iPod (1.2.1)
- Restored the iPod about 10x
- Different USB port and different iPod connection cable
- Erased the iPod (3x): using Windows' format tool 1x and the Disk Utility in OS X 2x.
- Uninstalled iTunes, Reinstalled.
- Fresh install of Windows XP.
Could this be an iPod related problem? (it seems to work fine on my Mac)
Could this be an iTunes 7 related problem?
The iPod is brand-new, i got it after my old one had gotten a white screen that wouldn't go away. Could it be a faulty iPod they gave me?
P.S. Please don't suggest to 'just sync it with your mac' because it should work with the Windows computer that holds all my music.
Windows XP Prohi chris
the difference is:
at home i've started it and it has been running 12 hrs without touching it
outside i've used it while running through the park five times, so i started and stopped it five times without touching it otherwise (didn't change songs)
do these five times starting/stopping waste 8,5 hrs battery runtime?

5g Ipod. Problem with Firmware 1.2.1
Like many out there, I upgraded my iTunes software to ver. 7 and subsequently the iPod firmware to ver. 1.2.1. This resulted in the iPod "freezing" problem many others have reported. I've gone through the exercise (twice) of uninstalling iTunes 7, installing the version of iTunes on my installation disk (I believe it's earlier than 6.0.5) and then installing firmware provided in Updater 2006-6-28 (1.1.2). Problem is that iTunes doesn't recognize anything in my music or video library and the only way (so far) to solve this is to upgrade back to Itunes 7.0.2 but not to upgrade to firmware 1.2.1. My iPod now works but when I sync to iTunes, many of the videos (TV shows) I've purchased won't transfer to my iPod. The reason given is that my iPod software is too old. This has also occured with any new video purchase.
Has anyone experienced something similar and is there a solution to this problem.

Nokia 6230i
Windows XP (Service packs 1 & 2)
PC suite 6.0 (from CD) attempted download of 6.81 from website.
I've been having some synch problems. Occasionally I found that after a synch all my contacts would appear twice in Outlook. Happened again last night. I deleted all the repetitions in Outlook & deleted all the contacts on the phone thinking to start afresh. Disaster. When I synchronised again, all that appeared on the phone was a random selection of contacts - about 20 - rather than all the 400 in Outlook.
So... I deleted PC suite & decided to reinstall from the CD. I got this error message. "The synchroniser is unable to load the interface() required to support sychnonising with Outlook 2." Deleted again & tried downloading 6.81 from the website. Got this error message. "Error 1335. The cabinet file 'Data1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt & cannot be used." When I tried ignoring that I got "Internet error 2350" & could proceed no further.
The data1.cab file seems to be something to do with Adobe Acrobat reader so I tried re-installing that - but same error messages. I also get the same error message if I try to download the latest version as an upgrade to the old version.
Can anyone out there help?
ChrisI listed just folders (and one of the folders is "username" and that is of course if you have a username, if not, then skip that level).
just open windows explorer and scroll step by step to
My computer -
C:Local Disk)-
\Documents and Settings
(\username\)
Application Data
\Nokia
\PCSync
\SynchData
\your phone IMEI nr
And under that you should find files with extension

delete those. Then try syncing againMessage Edited by manta on 07-Sep-2006

Last Thursday night I put my iPhone in the dock before I went to bed and saw that it started backing-up and synching. When I got up in the morning it was still synching contacts. I watched it for a while and it never completed. I undocked the phone, put it back in and same thing, it would never complete synching contacts. I searched here and saw that some folks were have the same or similar problems. On Sunday I noticed that the synch with MobileMe was spinning and it too never completed. I could not cancel the synch from the pull down menu so I force quitted it from the Activity Viewer. I then restarted the Mac and lo the problem did not reoccur.
So if you are having a synch problem take a look at your MobileMe synch to see if that may be conflicting with the iTunes-iPhone synch.
Have a good eveningHi John,
I am working on development an enterprise application using EJB 3.0 on Weblogic 10.
While developing, I am keeping all my classes (from ejb's as well as web) into APP-INF/classes directory. It is working fine for Web and ejb 2.0 packages, but ejb 3.0 packages, I get the following error when I keep my ejb 3.0 beans classes in APP-INF/classes directory.
No EJBs found in the ejb-jar file 'customer'. Please ensure the ejb-jar contains EJB declarations via an ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor or at least one class annotated with the @Stateless, @Stateful or @MessageDriven EJB annotation.
One solution is to keep the classes under customer ejb directory, but I wan tto keep all the classes in APP-INF/classes directory so that when using Eclipse IDE I can output all compiled sources into APP-INF/classes directory.
Has anyone faced this situation? Any suggestions to fix this issue? -

iMovie 6.0.4
I have a 50 minute heavily edited project with many transitions, etc.. I have no problem with the footage downloaded from my Sony HD camcorder. I even saved many individual frames as pictures and changed them to the beat of the music in the timeline and all worked perfectly. BUT, my problem is with the "video trailers" I slipped into the timeline. The audio slips when I play back in the timeline AND when burned to DVD. BUT, it does not slip in the same place every time I preview it. If I scrub the playhead back over some of the bad scenes and play them again, they are in synch. IT KEEPS CHANGING..... When I export to a desktop movie to review - the synch problem is there and some of the audio is missing. This only happens on "movie trailers" I have downloaded.
I can't figure out why it keeps changing in the timeline and then correcting itself when I back up and play it over again. I AM GOING CRAZY........
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
WallyThanks for the reply but my problem is not with iDVD - it is with iMovie - when I add "trailers" to it they go in and out of synch at different places everytime I review it before moving on. When I scrub back over the problem area and then play again, they are perfect for one time and then I try again and they are not synched. The problem is in iMovie.
Thanks,
Wally -
I have a 1 1/2 hr program in HDV that I'm having audio synch problems with during export. All my frame rates for my clips are the same as well as my audio sampling rates. It will start fine, then be slightly off and by the end of the program that audio is behind by about 3 seconds. I've tried all formats, reference file, self-contained, Anamorphic DV and still no luck. Any ideas?
Exporting Quicktime movie...current settings, video and audio....just uncompressed right out of FCP.
