Is this a firmware problem or a physical problem with my ipod.

Sometimes i get the famous error -48. Sometimes it syncs fine. Sometimes im playing a song and the next song wont play at all..i skip to the next (shuffle mode) and it doesn't play either. THEN the next one plays fine and i can go back one song and it plays, however the first song that stopped playing will not play no matter what.
Is this a hard drive issue or is it just lousy firmware?
I just tried playing the song that messed up in itunes off of the ipod itself. Still having the issue. Im starting to think my hard drive is corrupt.
This always seems to happen. At least one or more songs wont play and just sit at 0.00 and same with the next few before it starts to play again. But those songs wont play. Im going to try 1.01 and see if that fixes it. But im wondering if i should call apple for a replacement.

But im wondering if i should call apple for a replacement.
If the software fix doesn't work then yes.

    1.
    2. Their different teams. As I said, this is not a big issue unless more people send emails to Nokia asking for it, and no, as far as I can see, only a minority cares for this issue. Nokia will not spend to develop something in an OS that only a few people care about.
    5. Its an OS design. Either live with it or buy a new phone.
    7. It seems you do not understand what "country dependent" means. It depends upon your country's rules and regulations if this is available, and if the majority of the countries in the world are making laws for the prohibition of silent cameras, Nokia cannot do anything about it. If they break this law, then that country will not allow Nokia phones to be sold in that country, which is bad for Nokia. Personally I dont understand why people want to remove shutter sound.
    9. The setting to get 16:9 ratio is yes, software, but you also have to consider the sensor hardware. The sensor hardware is able to receive light in the same ratio as the pictures, and not in 16:9 ratio. Hardware cannot be adjusted. You yourself said you work with an SLR camera, and if you look through the viewfinder, you see that the camera lens sees the view in a "square" ratio as well like the phone. Creating software to render  a picture in 16:9 ratio is just simply creating software that cuts off the reception of light in the top and bottom part of the picture so as to create a 16:9 effect. Meaning the camera is not utilizing the full 3.2 megapixels of the phone, and the result is just the same as getting the picture you took and editing it on your PC to show a 16:9 ratio.

  • Trying to upgrade to 10.6 so my iPhone could synch...I'm getting this error message "Problem with this Windows (XP) Installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run."  Any ideas?

    I had iTunes 10.2.1.1 but needed to upgrade to 10.6 so my iPhone could synch...I'm getting this error message "Problem with this Windows (XP) Installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run."  Any ideas?

    This has been fixed.  Answer is that I needed to go to "Apple Software Update" and repair it.  (From my Control Panel).

    Hi there
    Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
    I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
    There is file in following directory:
    C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
    Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
    Cheers

  • I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT...

    I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT54G router. I am so frustrated right now because after following the various steps mentioned in one of these threads, following Earthlink's prompts, and speaking with Apple, my iPod touch will still not work. It is connected to the internet but will not download the pages. It is quite frustrating. I have changed from WPA to WEP, I switched the 4th Generated key to the 1st. I've disabled this, enabled that. I've done just about everything. I updated the firmware. I made the switch from a partial bridge to a full bridge. Still nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any other suggestions? The one thing I have not done is enter the Apple code into the iPod which searches for website...-- I cannot access the internet with my iPod so this web address does not work. If anyone has been successful, will you please give me step by step instructions? Yesterday I was on the phone with Linksys for about an hour. Before that with Apple for about an hour and before that with Earthlink. How it is that I can walk into a Bread Co. or Apple Store and immediately connect to the internet with my iPod but I can't in my own house?? Everyone seems to think it is someone else's problem so I've gone around and around. Not one of the Linksys support personnel suggested I look here on this community forum. I had to pay the $9 fee to have advanced Linksys help but still my iPod does not work and when I called back, the man I spoke with seemed to think the case was closed because my PC, Laptop, and iPod are connected to the internet -- the iPod just won't download the webpages or get mail. My iPod's IP address begins with 192. I would appreciate any help on this matter

    I had the same issues with my iPod touch & iPhone. It's a known issue with the touch & Linksys G routers. Go into settings on the touch & do the following.
    1. Settings - wifi - linksys
    2. Erase your DNS settings & input same numbers as in router
    Settings.
    3. Http proxy should be
    in off position.
    4. Close out & open safari you should now have a wireless
    connection.

  • Weird Problem With My Ipod. Can you help?

    I'm having a weird problem with my ipod and I hope someone here can help. I have a Nano, 4 GB. I got it back in June, so I haven't even had it 6 months yet. Ever since I "updated" the software, it hasn't worked right. It kept freezing on me and saying I had no songs on it. Finally when I reset it through iTunes and loaded brand new songs in it, it froze half way loading. I loaded it for a 3rd time and now it's making a weird alarm sound for no apparant reason. The buttons are stuck and I can't shut it off. It just keeps making this sound and it won't stop. When I reset it by holding menu & select, it resets, is fine for about 20 seconds, then starts back with this alarm. Is there anyone that can help me with this?

    Mine was the similar condition.
    When I reset iPod nano by holding menu & select, it resets, is fine for about 20 seconds, then starts back to the screen of black and white state.
    It keeps endless loop.
    It happened on the way of iPod nano firmware update to 1.1.1. from 1.0.2.
    Instead of completing firmware updated, the above symptom happend in my case.
    I could exit the above condition by pressing both of SELECT &
    PLAY button 5-10 seconds long.
    It manually change DISK Mode.
    The following subject was useful for me.

  • Distortion problems with new iPod Classic

    Hello:
    I recently purchased a 160GB iPod Classic to replace a 2-year-old 60GB iPod. I had no problems updating the new one; about a zillion tracks went in very smoothly in about a half-hour. But I have noticed a couple of problems:
    First, I always listen to my iPod at work on a Klipsch dock, and even though I keep it set at a fairly low volume (all of the content is classical music), I'm getting crackling and distortion in random spots in music. It doesn't seem to matter if the music was downloaded from iTunes or imported from a CD. It's definitely not the dock, because I tried the old iPod on it and it worked as well as it always did.
    Second, when I select a playlist and start playback, I notice that more often than not, the first second or two of music is cut off. I have to press the back arrow on the iPod, and then playback is correct.
    That is a minor annoyance, but the the distortion problem is far more serious. I never had either problem on the old iPod, and I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems with the iPod Classic. I'd HATE to think I'd have to trash 40GB of music and start all over importing CDs.
    Thanks for any input you can give me.

    thanks for the suggestion but it did not work.
    The iPod came up asking for the password (WEP key) and i entered it. It showed connected with the router but Safari does not work and when i check the DHCP entries in see the following
    IP: 169.254.202.45
    Sub: 255.255.0.0
    This means that the connection was made but the router DHCP server did not assign an IP address to the iPod.
    This exact problem i have encoutered so far in my office, a cofeeshop and a car dealership. In all cases the wirelles was based on an older linksys router and except in the case of my office the other two were unsecured networks.
    I believe it has something to do with the firmware on those linksys routers causing a problem specificaly to iPods and i would guess iPhones too since they have the same OS.
    I'm open to any suggestions but i've tried all the ones posted in this and other forums so far with no luck.
    When i assign a static IP, the iPod again connects, the router log indicates outgoing traffic from that IP but there is no incomming traffic.

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

    Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

    Hello,
    I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
    Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • A problem with my ipod shuffle and vista

    Hello all,
    was wondering if anyone could offer some ideas on this. My flat mate just moved and I was using his mac for my ipod shuffle. I have just bought a Dell with windows vista and have put itunes on it. When I put my ipod in the USB port, vista says it does not recognised it and my ipod does not show up in the source area of itunes. I have tried to reformat it but the recomended program is incompatible with vista (it says only it works for XP).Is there any other way to reformat my ipod for vista? or is there a vista program available somewhere else.
    many thanks Kim

    Hi there.
    I have similar problem with my ipod nano.
    I recently bought a new PC with Vista, and for some strange reason, initially my ipod was recognised as I was able to transfer purchased music from my ipod to my itunes.
    However now, a week or so later, every time I connect my ipod in the dock, it says "USB Device Not Recognised".
    I have tried to restore my ipod software, but it wont let me do that, saying that it has a fault and needs to be replaced!
    I initially thought it might be an ipod problem, but the store say it works fine, and restored (and wiped!) my ipod but it still doesnt work!
    I connected a friend's ipod and the same thing happened.
    So although I can listen to music in my itunes I cannot synchronise my ipod... what am I supposed to do?!
    Its very frustrating... does anyone know the solution please please please!

  • Lots of problems with my iPod touch 4th generation

    I am having a few problems with my iPod touch 4th Generation. I have been having them for a while and I would really like to get them fixed. 
    My first and main problem would be that my iPod touch is not being recognized by my computer (windows) and it will not sync to iTunes. I am certain it is not my USB cables fault because I have tried it with three different USB cables and all of them have had the same result. It has seemed to be completly fine until I updated to ios 6. I would restore my ipod to ios 5 but I can't get my ipod to be recognized by iTunes and restore it.
    My next problem is that my ipod is charging but it does not show that it is charging. The thing is though that it will only charge when it is hooked up to a very high powered source like my computer. My ipod dock works but it says it uses 160 watts of output power. It will not be charged from another wall charger and it will not charge in the car with a car charger.
    I would love some help with this. I have been having these problems for a while and it is starting to annoy me a little.
    Thanks in advance.

    Type "ios device not recognized" into the search bar at the top of this page and read the resulting help article.
