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?

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.

Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Everything worked fine in 10.8.2.

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:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

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:

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).

HT204347 My MacBook Pro shut of three times yesterday after plugging my phone in but I managed to switch it back on each time. I left it to rest for about 20 hours and then today it Has been working fine

My MacBook Pro shut off three times yesterday after plugging my phone in but I managed to switch it back on each time. I left it to rest for about 20 hours and then today it Has been working fine all morning. Using indesign and Skype which usually slow it down anyway but it's been fine. Then I plugged my iPhone 4S into it and it just shut off again. But this time it won't switch back on. No idea why this has happened but I hadn't saved my work either. I'd not long plugged the charger in to it but now, it's still plugged in, but the light on it is very dim and is just flashing.
No idea what to do. Please help!

You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

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

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?

If this is your iCloud email account, whcn you delete an email from any of your devices, they are moved to the trash on all devices/computers, then the trash is automatically deleted after 30 days. That's how IMAP accounts work. You can't delete them from your device and keep it on the server because you are reading and deleting from the server itself.
If you want to keep them on your Mac, you'll need to move them to a folder rather than deleting them. When you do, they will be moved to the same folder on your other devices.

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.

Thank you

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
Then GULP, check for this...
Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
/Library/Little Snitch
/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
/Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
/Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
/Applications/avast!.app
/Applications/ClamXav.app
/Applications/HTTPScoop.app
/Applications/Packet Peeper.app
If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

My .mac email account stopped receiving messages about 4 hours ago; I can send successfully. Is Apple having a "mail" problem, or do you have suggestions for me. I have checked the setup and have also deleted and re-added the account. Thank you

Not working on Mac Air (Mountain Lion), iPad 3 (iOS6) or iPhone 4S(iOS6); was working until 4 hours ago.

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

G700 locks up after about an hour

I bought the G700 a couple months ago. Windows 8 was installed already. After I did the update to 8.1 I began to have issues immediately. First off, I lost the use of many of my desktop apps...many of the Lenevo ones. Even though it is very irritating I can live with that, but the thing that is bugging me so much is how my laptop will just freeze up and I have to do a hard boot. Sometimes I have to do the restore feature. Usually the laptop will freeze up in about an hour, and sometimes less.
The only device I have installed is the wireless Logitec M325 mouse. I thought at first that perhaps this was the issue. I uninstalled it and used only the touchpad. This made no difference at all.
I want to install Win 7 on here but at least for a few months that is not going to happen. So in the meantime...any suggestions would be SO very much appreciated!

hi CrimsonFire1959,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
It might have been some Application / Services and or Programs that got affected by the update.
You can try performing a clean boot in the meanwhile and check if the performance will be back to what it was before.

HT1933 New Yorker new sub will not download after 2 days 4G and Wireless

I have never had a problem getting anything to download, but yesterday I downloaded NewYorker app then one month sub and the sub downloaded the cover and table of contents and each page like Talk of the Town has a title but says waiting to download. I use 4g but took to coffee shop to download and use their wireless but did not work.
I have not received a purchase email yet, it is listed as purchased on my Apple Account though. The charge has not come in on my online credit card statement.
I have deleted app now, I don't want to fool with New Yorker if they don't have their act together.
I subscribe through Apple to NYTimes and Economist. Not a problem. I have about 10 other apps that all work just fine and all have downloaded and updated just fine.
Any suggestions.

I hear that it will stop restoring after 3 days, so if you can wait another day, to make total of three you should be OK and will not need to force anything.

I'm trying to restore my iPod and the update says it's going to take 9 hours and then after 2 hours or less it will say something about "unable to finish update." Why is this?? My iPod is a 3rd generation that I got from my brother.
