iTunes 11 freezes and can't eject my iPod, so I need to disconnect the cable, then iTunes works just fine and my iPod Shuffle is in restoring mode. I've been having this issue for weeks, and never had it before with iTunes 10. Please tell me at least a way to eject it without losing all my data and being forced to format/restore the iPod. I've got 2GB iPod Shuffle 2nd generation(:D)

As a test, shut down (power off) your computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub (except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used). If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer. Does this problem recur when the shuffle is the only USB device?
If it does (as another test), select the shuffle in iTunes, so that its Settings screen is showing. Check the box for Enable disk use, and Apply. Does that make any difference regarding this problem?

Has anyone had any luck returning there iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac.... Looks like folks have been having this problem for months

Has anyone had any luck returning their iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac.... Looks like folks have been having this problem for months & months .. The Apple tech told me that all I could do is wait for Apple to come up with a fix... Got a new router this week so that isnt' it. Would I be better off w/o this until Apple gets their act together? I downloaded the combo update 10.7.3 & it helped for about a day... yesterday I still had to manually reset the connection but now it's resorting back to disconnectiong w/o fully going into sleep mode first. Sorry to say this is a major lemon. Help!

Seems unfair... I thought I was probalby having a router problem... got a new router this week. Thst's when we realized we have a computer problem. My next door nieghbor got zero sleep staying up all night while trying to help us figure out what the problem could be. He said if it were him he would have returned the iMac / Lion. Got the new iMac w/ Lion for Christmas but didn't realize until this week that Apple is the problem.... Hard to believe that Apple just has kept on selling this like ... oh No problem! Can't stay on the internet... but will sell you another one today! I'm getting mad... It's not every day we spend that kind of money on a computer . & ALL they can give us is that LOUSY Lion combo update. I can't even stay connected long enough to make a vitamin order with Puritan's Pride... & then the disconnection wipes out my cart... so I have to start over. When are they going to fix this! 'Not feeling very positive'. I feel like Apple KNOWINGLY sold my husband a defective... system. 14 days... oh please...

We have 2 versions of Portuguese in our application. The problem is only for Brazilian Portuguese and the other one is working just fine. Locale for portugese-brazil (pt-BR) is not working

No. Something else is going on.
Your son may be hogging all the bandwidth but your wireless network should never simply disappear. Moreover, if your son isn't doing anything the available bandwidth for other devices should remain unaffected.
I suspect that something is miswired, and from what you describe I suspect that link is between the Extreme and the "other computer".
The way to accomplish what you propose is
Modem > Ethernet cable to Extreme's WAN port
Extreme's LAN ports > wired Ethernet devices.
There should be nothing but an Ethernet cable linking an Extreme LAN port and any other wired device. If you run out of available LAN ports on the Extreme, you need to by an "Ethernet switch" - they are not expensive, but don't call it a "splitter" or you will only confuse yourself. The switch would be connected to one of the Extreme's LAN ports, and you would connect additional devices to it. You can also use one of your Expresses for that purpose, assuming it is the current generation model with two Ethernet ports.

I've never had any problems with iTunes,

I've never had any problems with iTunes, and one day, without doing anything to it, I tried to open it and it said "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled it countless times and it still keeps giving me that message. I don't know what to do.

Hey grossa2,
First, here is a way to report an issue with your purchase:

Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now I get a messege saying the user name or password for verizon is incorrect on my iPad but is fine on my home computer what's wrong with my ipad

Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now getting messege that says the user name or password for verizon is incorrect yet my home computer is fine only have this od my iPad

I experienced same problem tonight and called Verizon technical support and they walked me through the settings on iPad. Took about 5 minutes. Basically it involved changing incoming.verizon.net to pop.verizon.net and changing outgoing.verizon.net to smtp.verizon.net. But it's worth the call to ensure other settings are OK. Evidently, change at Verizon was effective today!

Since I updated I can't open anything that comes in a pop upwindow i.e. pdf or mail window. How can I solve or go back to the previous version - it worked just fine.

I am not sure what your problem is, can you give more details.
One possibility is you may be in full screen mode, for details on fixing that see the [[menu bar is missing]] article.
If you are missing various toolbar items, see the [[back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article.
If your problem is something else please give more details.

Why can't I recieve or send mail on my macbook pro? Mail works just fine on iphone4

The account comes up with a little warning triangle by the name of the account, when I click on it this is the first message :
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “@rogers.com” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “www.rogers.com” on port 110 timed out.
This is the second error, after I click the warning triangle the second time
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “@rogers.com” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “www.rogers.com” on port 110 timed out.
In between the above messages, I've also received the please re-enter your password message, which I do and then I get the same message 30 seconds later. At this point I usually have to do a forced quit to make it go away 8-(
I have had my macbook for two years and mail has worked just fine until this week!!
My Mac is OS X version 10.6.8, and its just the mail that comes with macs.
I have tried deleting and re-opening the account?! and restarting the computer
I have tried connection doctor and it just tells me what I already know---it can't connect to the server

The server returned the error: The connection to the server “www.rogers.com” on port 110 timed out.
It sounds like you're trying to connect to a web server, not a mail server. Check with your ISP for the right server address and settings.

IPod and iTunes freezes while uploading music

So a couple of weeks ago, I was using my 40Gb iPod when suddenly it froze. I reset it but when I tried to play another song, it skipped all of them as if they weren't there. I had lost my entire library in an instant. Once I got back to my computer (Powerbook) I managed to restore it. During this the folder with the exclamation mark and the run-click-run-click problems showed up. Now after successfully restoring it, I can't get my music back on it. For some reason at various points in uploading songs (whether it be after 20 songs or 2000) both my iTunes and iPod freezes. I normally reset it which causes the "improper device removal" sign to come up. Then when I plug it back into my computer I get the message that iTunes can't recognize the information on my iPod and that I need to restore it again. However sometimes it takes 3 or 4 times of it freezing during uploading to get that message. Either way, I can't get my library of music back onto my iPod without it freezing. I never see the folder with exclamation mark and the music that I do managed to get on there works perfectly fine.
Does anyone have a clue what is wrong with my iPod and is there anyway to fix it?

I tried the update with no success. Here's another update after actually trying to use my iPod:
When I have it just plugged into headphones or speakers half of the songs cut off in the middle, just a little bit off near the end. Some don't work at all. Plus my iPod is very slow while moving through the menus.
When I have it plugged into the Monster FM transmitter, I really can't get anything to work. It freezes on almost every song. The most I can get a song to play is about 16 seconds before it skips over to the next.
This seems just seems really messed up but it seems to be a software problem. Any ideas?

ITunes freezes while transferring TV season from Apple TV back to computer

I bought a season of a show on the Apple TV and it downloaded the entire season fine. When I open up iTunes and it starts syncing, it indicates that the computer is transferring the shows from the Apple TV back to the computer, but then iTunes freezes in the middle. The Apple TV appears to be fine. I'm currently running Custom Sync as the option.
I'm running 2.4 ATV OS, the latest iTunes (8.2) on a Windows XP. Network is a Linksys 54G wireless router.
I've looked at some things and have tried reauthorizing, rebooting, etc. It's a pain because I have some new content that I want to get on the Apple TV, but it defaults to transferring shows back before adding new content from iTunes onto the AppleTV.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the update, but that doesn't really help me since my computer (desktop) and my computer about about 50 feet from each other and I really have no desire to unplug either to sync. The reality is that this has been a problem with 2.4 since it was released a month and a half ago and there is no reason why Apple hasn't fixed it by now.
What this has led me to do is not download any shows to my AppleTV, I just buy them on my computer now and the downstream sync works fine.

My iPhone 4s screen is cracked and can't slide to unlock it. Several of the icons are not working as well. Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up or synced with another device?

No in order to backup to iTunes, you would need to unlock your phone.
In order to import pics to your computer you would need to unlock your phone.

My iPad connects to my router but does not open any web page or even download my mail. My router works just fine. My iPod touch is having no problems loading pages. If at all my iPad does open a page, it does so very slowly. It happens with all routers.

It never had any problems before I upgraded to iOS6. Please help!

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

Why can't I get my email on my iPad when every Apple device works just fine?

The title kind of says it all. I get my email (Cox in SoCal) on my desktop and phone but, for some reason, not to my Pad. I'll get a message box saying that the server isn't recognized or unaurthorized or unavailable; sometimes it's a combo of all three. I'm guessing that I have to delete the Mail app then re-install from the App Store and reenter everything. That sound about right to everyone? And, to anyone else in SoCal using Cox, have you had this happen? Just curious. Thanks.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

IPod Mini Freezes while transferring music

Hey all...
When transferring tracks from iTunes to my iPod Mini, iTunes seems to freeze after / during track #3 song transfer.
I've reset, restored, upgraded, done everything i've been reading.
I've even done a full MP3 libary scan for any corrupt mp3's, and have removed all 'suspicious' mp3s... with no improvemnt.
There is nothing wrong with the iPod being recognized by Itunes on my G4 Powerbook...
It just freezes...
No explanation.
Just freezes.
Any suggestions?

I am having a similar problem, as a lot of people appear to be. Those steps have not yet helped me. I'm trying again just in case.
I hope Apple fixes this problem, it appears to be widespread since the latest iPod and OS X updates, or maybe security updates or something.

ITunes freezing when transferring music

I recently bought a new computer and tried to transfer my iPod to the new one. I wasn't sure how to move the music from the old computer to the new one, but I eventually did it anyway (I used a huge flashdrive {or whatever it's called} in the end). When I installed iTunes and moved the music into my library, then connected my iPod to the computer, it showed about 80 songs transferred (out of 300-400), then iTunes froze. I was eventually able to quit iTunes, the iPod woke up, and showed that nothing was on the iPod. What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the iPod and iTunes, but I'm out of ideas.

Hi,
Try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes. Tell me if this works.

ITunes 11 freezing while transfering music, and can't eject it, so I need to disconnect the cable, then iTunes works just fine and my iPod Shuffle is in restoring mode. I've been having this issue for weeks, and never had it before with iTunes 10.
