Ipod Video, 1.2.3 Sync problem

Hi all,
I have a 60Go Ipod video. I use it like external drive on windows and mac. So it uses PC firmware. I update it with 1.2.3 firmware and now when I sync it with my mac (Leopard 10.5.2) a lot of tracks are not playable (just pass it), Playlist are empty and no podcast are visible from the Ipod. But from itunes, I can play music directly on the Ipod, playlist are visible, all seems to be correct...
So I think my files are not corrupted.
Those music comes from ITSM and my ITunes is registered with my Apple Id.
If I install mac firmware, all is OK. But I can't use my ipod on windows.
If I sync from windows, all seems ok too. But I would like to sync from my MacBook pro.
I don't know what to do. Maybe downgrade it but I would like to find another solution.
Can some body help me?

I tried to sync with a PC and it works fine. No problem with it.
But I switch for 3month and I don't want to keep windows XP just to sync my ipod...
I have a MacBook pro with Leopard. Itunes and Leopard are up to date.
Can some body Help me?

  • Ipod Video and Alpine CDE-9852 Problem.

    I'm having problems with my new Alpine CDE-9852, and my black 60 gig ipod Video (1.11 software verison).
    When I first pluged in my Ipod to the unit I got Error 01, my first thought was that I needed to install software on the ipod, but from reading the owners manual I didn't see anything about that.
    With the car still running I unpluged the Ipod and pluged it back in, it worked. I Went though the menu's, played all kindas of songs, no problems.
    When I got home I thought I would play with it a bit, because it takes forever to go throw all my songs.
    Then it just stoped working, getting Error 01, sometimes it would connect and get the check mark, but you couldn't control the Ipod, sometimes it would connect with the alpine logo showing my ipod, but when I go from track to track in a playlist it would crash and give me Error 01.
    I have noticed that it would connect if I played a song on my Ipod but paused it, connected it to the cable, then started the car.
    But it would still soon crash.
    I just bought the unit from bestbuy today, I'm going to go back tomorrow and see if they can replace it or something.
    maybe the cable needs to be repluged in.

  • IPod Touch 2g iTunes 10 Syncing problem

    After many hours of pure frustration, I'm finally giving up and putting this issue out there for some help.
    Here are some simple things:
    I own an iPod Touch Second Generation model.
    It has been synced with my HP Desktop for some time now.
    Recently I bought an HP Envy (Laptop) for school.
    My Desktop is going to be used less frequently, so I decided to sync my iPod to the laptop.
    I've moved over all the music through a hard drive.
    I've transfered my purchases through iTunes.
    Here is where the problem lies:
    Yesterday I decided was the day I would finally sync my iPod to my laptop. This is after just downloading Podcasts through the iPod and charging it through an AC adapter for several months. I plug it into my USB port using the stock cable. Windows 7 recognizes it as "iPod Touch", it even has a little graphic of it for My Computer. It installs the drivers and iTunes pops up. Things are going swell right? Wrong.
    iTunes does indeed surface, and I sync it to the new (same) library of music and apps. I unplug it, and plug it back in just to make sure. When I plug it in a second time, it comes up and begins backing up my device. Here is where things get sketchy, due to the many (-50) errors when trying to back it up. Finally it succeeds, and I'm irritated. So I go ahead and restore the iPod. It restores. I get 4.1 or w/e for the iPod and things look dandy. My music is there, the apps. I decide to plug it in ONE more time for good measure. This time and every single time up to this point, it shows the iPod, but then brings up the screen saying: "New iPod". In the top it says Verifying iPod Touch, and it usually finished but my ipod's screen just quits syncing and goes to the home screen. Both you and I know this isn't a NEW iPod to the computer. I can't seem to get it to sync because it constantly thinks its a new ipod. Although it says a previous ipod was synced earlier, would i like to restore this one with that info. I would rather not. I'm tired of this. Please help me if you can. Thanks Oh and now My Computer doesn't show the iPod at all. in the device manager it shoes an Apple USB device, and the Drivers are fine.

    Hey im567,
    Make sure the iPod touch and iTunes are both updated.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/
    Also make sure your iPod is directly connected to a high-speed USB port on the PC, not a hub, monitor, or keyboard.

  • IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem -  trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

    Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
    I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
    For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
    I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
    I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
    I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
    Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

    Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
    If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the  ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation calendar sync problems.

    I have just updated my IPod Touch 3G to Software version 5.1.1.
    The calendar has been synced and all entries, including those in Outlook itself, not just the IPod, have been erased from 12 months ago.
    The calendar sync is to Outlook. Fortunately this is a repeat performance and I have learned to keep a backup of calendar entries as a .pst file. Therefore all that was needed  was to resync the system to the. pst file.
    There is however, another observation. After a resync, all calendar entries from year 2000 (in my case) can be listed on the IPod. Past experience has shown that after a few days, involving another sync, all entries before 12 months ago will not list on the IPod.
    The calendar entries are there, shown as dots against the date, but they will not list on the IPod.
    Also the IPod search feature will only search entries for the past 12 months. This is to be expected, since the IPod processing features can only be limited, due to indexing etc. You can't expect the IPod to perform the same as a larger PC.
    Does anyone have this problem?
    I keep a backup pdf file of the calendar on the IPod and PC, but even then the search on the IPod pdf file is limited to letters only, not numbers - again probably due to indexing problems.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • IPod Classic (6th Generation) 80GB syncing problems

    Hello,
    I have been encountering this problem for a couple of months with my iPod Classic. I have researched every possible fix, and I haven't been lucky enough to find a fix. When I connect my iPod to my computer sometimes, it'll just freeze everything up and I have to manually restart my computer. Other times I try to put songs onto my computer and it'll add a few then freeze and I have to restore my iPod. My problem is that it wont add songs and it keeps freezing. I have tried reformatting, putting the USB in different ports, last night I let it sit overnight to try to sing and let it work itself out. It seemed like it synced all the songs but as soon as I disconnected the iPod it restored itself and had factory settings with no songs on it. I have wasted a lot of time with this iPod in hopes of trying to fix this. But I refuse to pay Apple their crazy repair prices for something that isn't my fault. If I could please get a fix for this, cause I know A LOT of people are having the very same problem with their iPod's.

  • NEW IPOD VIDEO/ ITUNES ISSUES. HELP!!

    OK here is my problem. I recently recieved my IPOD Video. Attempted to sync with PC... everything ok. Then tried to sync w/ ITunes... Big problem apparently I need to format all my songs to a new AAC?? Not even sure what that means. Any suggestions? I called Apple and they said I would have to do this everytime I copied a cd to my ipod. Is that correct? If so, the IPod Video will be sent back. There has to be an easier way. Please help!

    I need to format all my songs to a new AAC
    That's not necessarily true. The don't NEED to be in AAC. They just need to be in a format that the iPod can play.
    There are several formats you can use.
    They are:
    AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Music Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3 and 4), Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF
    What format are your tracks in now?

  • Using iPOD video and Nano on one PC

    Need help. I just got a 60 gb iPOD video and have been using iTunes on my PC for my Nano. If I download videos from the iTunes Music Store for my iPOD Video, will it cause a problem when I later plug in my Nano to update? I.E., is there a way for me to use my same iTunes library for both the iPOD Video and iPOD Nano without the Nano crashing because of the video content? Sorry, I'm new to this. I appreciate anyone's help. Thanks.

    If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions. It will update from your existing library and in the case of the Nano you will not have a problem with videos as it is not designed to use them. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually. With the first option it will update everything. With the second option only the tracks in the selected playlists (rather than the entire music library) are downloaded to iPod when you connect. With the manual update option, you manage what goes into your iPod by dragging and dropping selected songs or playlists into iPod:
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically
    Managing content manually on iPod

  • Ipod Video Scratches

    I really get desperate about the scratches on my Ipod video. I have a problem with my Ipod video 60 GB it is very vulnerable for scratches. After 2 days I had so many scratches that I brought it back to the interdiscount branch in Vevey. When your interdiscount assistent inspected the screen he wiped over the screen with his finger which make me dazzle, so I had even more scratches on my Ipod ! They sent it to the repair center. I was quite amazed when it returned unrepaired with the text "Usertracks !". I did not scratch my Ipod ! I paid a lot and am proud to have one, I always keep it in the cover.
    2 months ago a bought a Nikon S1 Coolpix, I am using it very intensivly but no scratches at all ! This is because of the special coating on the LCD screen.
    Please help !
    Ipod Video   Other OS  

    I'm totally depressed about scrathes and scuffs on my 60G videp iPod - you'd think for what you pay for this item it would better resist scratches! I bought an Xtreme Mac Microshield for my iPod thinking that this would protect it -wrong. Dust gets between the shield and the screen creating scuff marks. I put the shield on the moment I took the new iPod from box. I took it off noticing the scuff marks thinking that it was on the shield - wrong again - it was on the screen. I tried wiping the screen clean with a soft cotton cloth - more scratches!! I also have a photo iPod that I've had for a year - the screen is cleaner than my video iPod that I've had for three months. And the photo iPod has no screen protection.
    Anybody have any suggestions?

  • Ipod photo or ipod video

    which one is better. i have questions since i looks like the ipod video is having alot of problems. and which ever one i pick is engraving it a good route tog o down.

    The iPod photo has been discontinued, therefore if you want a new one, the iPod with Video is the only option. I've had my 5G Ipod for a week or so now, and I am very pleased with it. These forums are like in customers services, most people making contact, have problems. How often does anyone phone customer services with news that the product works well....
    There are some threads here with good news though.
