I m in Big Trouble Plz Help Me...

i update my ipod software after that the msg show on computer that "Disconect the ipod from Pc and plug in a Ipod Charging Adapter" but i hav not charger i charge my ipod with USB cabel.plz help me and tell me something about that problem.one thing more icon appear on a ipod like Adapter Charger and also my Windows Xp cant reconize my ipod and also itunes.

When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see this icon displayed.
It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
Or you can try this.
No power adaptor? Try this.
Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

Its sad! I dont no how to put songs from my library to my ipod! plz help.

It says songs on the ipod cannot be updated because all because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist. I have lots of music in my library but i dont no how to put it into my ipod. If helped ill be sure to comment back. thanks again.

hudgie: iPod cannot be updated because one or more playlist...
Basically connect the iPod to the computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences. Click the iPod tab. Select automatically update all songs or playlists or automatically update selected playlists and select playlist(s).

IPod Trouble - Please Help

I NEED DESPERATE HELP!!!!
I have a first generation iPod Shuffle, which seems to be having heaps of problems. The first thing that went wrong with it is that when I connected it to the computer, at first it would appear in the source (I think that is what its called, down the left hand side of iTunes along with library and everything) but when I clicked on it, it would disappear and say that it was not connected. This meant that I could not put any new songs on my iPod.
Now, not only can I not put any new songs on my iPod, but it wont play the old ones. Instead of playing songs, the light above the controller will continue to flash green and orange.
i have tried every website mentioned in the users guide and have searched through this website a million times. My iPod is registered, I have iTunes version 7.0.2, and the software version on my iPod is 1.1.5, but the computer says my iPod is completely updated. I have tried to do something with the disk that came with my iPod, but I dont really know what I'm doing and I dont think anything happened. I dont know how to reinstall my iPod, and I have tried restarting my computer.
My iPod will not show up on My Computer, and sometimes it shows up on iTunes only to say I should try to restore it. Every time I try to do this, the computer says it cant due to error 1418. My iPod is nearly two years old but it has been well looked after.
I really have no idea what I am doing and dont know much about computers or iPods. Any help will be greatly appreciated, but you will probably have to tell me exactly what to do because I have no idea.
Thanks everyone.
luv beck

Converting videos for ipod trouble need help plz

i always have to convert my videos for ipod but when i do, there is no more sound. how do i fix this?

Julia,
You need to format the iPod for Windows use.
Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted, then follow the set up procedure.

I have had my 30 gig video ipod since they came out. everything is up to date(My ipod software and itunes software). Whenever i sync my ipod it says that the movies couldnt sync to it because they are not playable on it.

Ipod 30gig video Windows 2000 Idk if it is a fifth gen.

plug in your ipod, let it automatically update, when it's finished, go to the category (TV Shows, Movies, etc) you want to go to. Select Sync All, the select the option of "Selected" (do not check mark "all") and choose what you want added to your Ipod, then go to file and Sync your Ipod. I had the same problem and this was successful for me.

Ipod problems, plz help

yea, so my ipod has been doing fine ever since i got it. i only had one problem a while ago, but that was quickly fixed once i plugged my ipod into the computer. but now, these are my problems:
1) My ipod won't turn on (and no, the hold button is not on)
2) I can't plug my ipod into my laptop.
okay, what the heck? how am i suppose to fix anything if i can't plug my ipod into the computer. the usb cable is in, and i attached my ipod into the usb cable. usually, the ipod turns itself on before switching into charging mode. but my ipod nano won't even turn on!! can someone PLEASE help me out here? i tried all the trouble shooter stuff, so now i'm completely lost and upset.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If your iPod is simply showing the "charging" message when connecting to the computer, it is obviously not connecting to the computer. You will need to put it into disk mode:
First, reset your iPod. Then put it into disk mode.
Try connecting it to your computer now. If a "Do Not Disconnect" message comes up, then that means your iPod is back to normal...at least part way.
Check out this article:
iPod won't turn on
Did that work? Post back if your iPod shows up in either iTunes, "My Computer", or in the iPod Updater.
I hope this helps

Major Ipod Trouble, Please Help

Lately I've been going through a lot of frustration with my ipod. I just recently bought an imac intel core duo and through data DVDs and ipod access, managed to get all of my music, which had previously been scattered between two PCs and an ipod, in one place. In order to get it onto my ipod I had to restore the ipod and then synch it with my new computer's itunes, which was successful. Everything was going smoothly until recently it started freezing inexplicably. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason other than that it seems to freeze a few seconds into a song and that it's just about always happened in my car when it's plugged into my FM modulator. Every time it's happened, the music disappears when I restart it, and doesn't reappear until I've restarted it several more times. I thought perhaps that restoring the ipod didn't fully update the software and created problems after it had been synched. But just recently when I plugged it into my computer, itunes said that it couldn't be read and that I should restore it to it's factory settings, which I had just recently done, and then when I ran ipod updater on it without itunes, it said that my ipod was up to date. I would just restore it or buy a new one but I just did restore it and this ipod is only a few months old and was sent to me as a replacement when my old ipod broke. Any insight would be appreciated

im sorry i cant seem to start a new topic PLEASE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP
all of a sudden about half an hr ago my computer froze & went all spastic. i retsarted & now ALL MY SONGS ARE GONE FROM MY IPOD!!! I HAD 10 000+ SONGS HOW DO I GET THEM BACK!?!?!??
please tell me theres a way. when i check the ipod itself it says 0 songs 0 videos but strangely my 87 photos are still on there. also when i reconnect it to the computer it says to restore its factory settings but when i go to update/restoe it says i have 10GB left (its a 60Gb video ipod) so i think the songs are still stored there but i cant access them or something please help me!!

Random ipod crashes plz help

ok so i was watching youtube ob my ipod and then my ipod just turns its self off and the itunes logo just sits there for like 10 minutes. i hooked it to my computer and when itunes loaded my ipod magically turned back on and everything was perfect. i made sure that it wasnt just my battery but it was fully charged. This still keeps happening to me and not just on youtube.

also, be a bit patient. i notice you had 20 minutes between your posts. bear in mind that these are world-wide user forums. the people who come on here aren't apple employees paid to sit and answer tecchy questions. they either have a problem, or have come here to help others. the vast majority of them have lives outside of Apple User Forums, and the one with your answer may be sleeping/working/living life at the time you post. when your post gets two or three pages down the forum, that's the time to 'bump' it.

Can't sync purchased songs and games to iPod. Plz help.

When i try to Sync my iPod it tells me that some songs cannot be sent becuase it i am not authorized to. I authorized my computer and it tells me the same thing every time i try to sync my I Pod. Can someone tell me how to properly sync my I pod and allow my songs to be sent.

Have you tried playing the tracks, at least for a few seconds, before trying to transfer them to the iPod? Sometimes you have to play the item for a bit before the authorization "takes".
Hope this helps.

IPod Trouble NEED HELP!

Ok so my IPod is 4th Generation a 16 GB ... I was wondering if I can get it fixed or replaced with a one year warranty but since they don't make the 4G anymore can I get a 5g with the back iSight camera since my 4g had a back camera? I reall want to know.

Apple doesn't repair it. If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with an identical refurbished unit. If the warranty has expired, the fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.
