ITunes 7.2 and iPod issues-- read before you upgrade to it...
I am having issues uploading any of my music I purchased to my iPod since i upgraded to 7.2. Since I have upgraded to 7.2, I have had no success in getting ANY of my purchased music back on to my iPod. Back on it you say? That's because I first thought the syncing issue was due to a single bad corrupted file somewhere, so I restored my iPod, clearing 15GB of music and stuff, and tried to reload everything. I can still upload music I imported from CD's, but any playlist that contains a purchased item causes iTunes to crash before the upload finishes. I have found many other people to have this same problem.
My advice, if you want to keep your purchased music intact, DO NOT UPGRADE TO 7.2 until they work out the bugs. Somehow this stems from their DRM issues, and with iTunes Plus and its DRM Free choices, it has somehow made our older DRM music a major issue. Unless someone has a miracle answer to this, I will keep wishing I still had 7.1, when life was easier and free of problems. When music could roam freely on my iPod, and my iMac would not crash every time iTunes showed it's younger face. Ohhh, the good old days. When music was music and my iPod had music on it. When buying music was buying, not renting. Remember those days?

I uninstalled itunes to fix some ipod issues, and now I tried to reinstall it but it says that it's already installed. When I went to find the "icon" I can"t find it. When i looked in the download files I saw the downloads, but not the actual itunes "app". Please help thanks!
How did you uninstall it and what were your IPOD issues - that may help clarify the problem.

when i pluged my ipod classic 5g to PC then it shows “iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. you must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes”?then after restoring the PIOD when IPod restarted then Itunes again detect the same ERROR.
If you are using XP, and you went through the procedure at the bottom of the previously linked document to change the iPod's assigned drive letter, and you also tried putting it into Disk Mode...
If you have not already, try shutting down your computer and disconnecting all USB devices, including hub. Start up with only standard keyboard and mouse connected. Just to be safe, put the iPod into Disk Mode again

Run iTunes. Connect iPod to a direct USB port on computer. iTunes may prompt you about "recovery" and ask you to do a Restore. Try to do a Restore again. -
A prompt comes up on my TV screen when I try and purchase a movie "before you can make any purchases you must go to Itunes store on your computer and verify your account information". Have tried to do this to no avail - all my purchase and address details
it is a problem with the latest update. nothing you can do will fix it, besides rolling your apple tv back to the last update.

Itunes has detected and iPod in recoverty mode.
Every time I connect my Nano (2nd gen 8gb), iTunes gives me the message
"iTunes has detected and iPod in recovery mode. You must restore thsi Ipod before it can be used with iTunes."
So I go through the restore process, and it resets and then, comes back into the same message. I am in an endless restore loop.
I have tried different usb ports, computers, reinstalled the software, reset the ipod. But iTunes keeps wanting to restore the iPod.take a look

ITunes has detected and Ipod in Recovery Mode...
After in stalling ITunes 7 on my Windows XP machine, I received the following error when I tried to sync my IPod. "ITunes has detected and Ipod in Recovery Mode. You must restore this IPod before it can be used with ITunes." After completing the restore, it tells me to leave my IPod connected. Then it just comes back with the exact same message about recovery mode. Now I have an Ipod with no songs on it, and I am unable to sync it with ITunes any longer. Does anyone have any solutions to this bug. Everything was working perfectly prior to installing ITunes version 7.0.1.8.
IPod Windows XPI had the exact same problem with my new 8 gb Nano. I tried putting the Nano into disk mode as was suggest in another discussion thread, but that did not make any difference. I finally discovered that my shutting the computer down and not logging onto the network after it rebooted, Itunes was able to recognize the Nano correctly, and proceeded with installing my music. If you are using a home or work network I would try not logging into it before you update your Ipod.
Good Luck!

When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. Why is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?
She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.

A printer that I have connected to my iMac via usb in not showing up in printer options on my iPhone or iPad and it use to before I upgraded to 8.1. How can I fix this?
Is it an Airprint-compatible printer, and is its WiFi enabled if it is? (see: About AirPrint)
If it isn't an Airprint supported printer, then you need a 3rd party driver on your iMac to print from an iPhone. Such as Printopia. As it worked in the past you probably have such a printer driver installed; check and see if it's running.
Beyond that try restarting the printer, restarting the phone, restarting your router, and restarting your computer. -

Do your Home Work BEFORE you "upgrade" to snow leopard
Here is my experience with this upgrade... I provide in hopes to prevent others from spending hours and hours with this upgrade...
1. First, I have 3 video cards in my MacPro. One is an ATI HD3780. Once I upgraded to Snow Leopard, my mac would not boot and just got the black square of death on the screen. I removed the card, then tried to find the new drivers for this card, which do not exist on ati's web site that I could find. I finally found my original install disk, installed the graphics card drivers, reinstalled the card and now my machine boots.
This Snow Leopard "upgrade":
2. It removed all my mail plugins, didn't simply move them to a disabled folder, so I had to reinstall them:
-Dockstar
-SpamSieve
3. Many other 3rd Party apps had to be updated. More than any upgrade I have done with the Mac. I had to go thru the applications folder and try every 3rd part application, and a ton of them now had to be re-serialized, and some don't work at all. I had a ton of screen savers that don't work now, and it doesn't disable them it deletes them.
In all this was the most cumbersome "upgrade" I have ever done on a mac, and I have been upgrading macs for almost every version of the os. IF this "upgrade" was labeled as it truely is " a New Install", I would expect all the things I have had to deal with. Calling this an upgrade is downright goofy..
Good resource BEFORE you upgrade:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
Summary:
If you want to upgrade, and you have a mac that has lots of applications on it, you may want to set aside around 4-5 hrs to get your mac working like it was before the upgrade. Also if you have older apps you may want to choose to install rosetta during the install process, and BEFORE you upgrade, get all your serial numbers for all your 3rd party apps just in case. Not all of mine asked for it, but enough did that it took around 4-1/2 hrs for me to get back to the point of before the install. (Glad I didn't install it on all my macs yet!). I am very happy I didn't install this on my work machine or I would be in major trouble, things like fink, etc... would all be trashed...Do your homework before you upgrade, or prepare yourself and set aside a lot of extra time..

I'm having a problem upgrading my computer, i wish to download snow lepard and lion but every link on the apple website as been so unhelpfull that i have no idea how to get it or where to downlaod it. is there anywhere i can do this.... the only referances i have had have been "click on the apple and press software update" i have no updates and my computer will no longer do anything without an update......
where can i get snow lepard and lion....Backup first
It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
Erase before the install
Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
During the install
Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
OS numbers and names
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion

Upgrade to Leopard
Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
Upgrade beyond Leopard
OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A

Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages. -
Yet More ITunes 7 and Ipod Issues
So, it seems like everyone else, I've been cursed with the [deleted] software that Apple released far prematurely.
I've rolled back to 6.0.4, and now my ITunes functions properly. My Fifth-Generation Ipod, however, is down hard. It connects to the computer, is never displayed in the Finder, and locks up at the "Do Not Disconnect" phase, which never flashes like it's supposed to.
I've attempted to put it into disk mode, but it won't take, for some reason. I've also run the built-in diagnostics, and it's not a problem with the IPod itself - it passed with flying colors.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.Hi...
Yesterday I tried to watch a movie from a 5G Ipod in my macbook with Itunes 7.0.1....
Itunes recognized the Ipod but unfortunately it was impossible to watch any movie or video... there wasn't any problem listening music from the Ipod... !!!
The most strange was, I decided to quit trying in the macbook, and went to my old pc windows with Itunes... the Ipod was recognized and I could watch the movie without any problem...
Today... I went to the Apple store in Rotterdam (netherlands) where I bought the macbook, we try with another Ipod in my macbook, and it didnt work, then, we tried the Ipod in another macbook and it didn't work either.
I am little bit dissapointed, because It is supposed that an Ipod should work efficiently with a new macbook!!!!...
I do not know if I have missed to set in the system something before using the Ipod...
Hope that somebody could give me a good advise...

Please read before you send your iPod to repairing
Unbelieveable, since last Saturday, I needed to fix up 3 iPods with similar problems from family members and friends, 2 connected with PC and 1 with Mac. I guess it will be a good idea if I can share with you all and hope that it can give you some hints when you try to fix yours before sending it for repairing.
Before you do anything I suggest that you should read the following carefully..
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/index.html
Most problems came from the iPod not being recongzied by the computer (mainly PC and I find it less often with Mac). Second issue is iPod not being charged for quite some time.
I must say that I am not an expert but I did learn something during the past experience on fixing for more than 10 iPods but none of them are shuffle.
The first thing you need to do is plug your iPod directly to the AC charger not the USB of your computer, and leave it for 2-3 hours and most of the time you will able to wake up your iPod.
Secondly, do a reset of your iPod when it hangs, it is simple just press "Select"+"Menu" keys, which will not erase your data of your iPod.
In case the above both do not manage to fix your iPod problem then you may force to do the following, but it will erase all your data therefore it is always to be wise to have a backup before your iPod got problem.
1. Reinstall the latest iPod updater after the reset
If 1 still not able to recongize your iPod by the computer then you have to put your iPod to DiskMode i.e. plug your iPod to the AC charges, do a RESET and press "Select"+"Play" keys, you will see the message "Disk Mode" in few sec. Then you need to connect your iPod with your computer, and hope that it will be recongized. If you are lucky to reach this stage then you simply need to restore your iPod updater, and your iPod should be back to normal.Please note that You may need to plug and unplug few times in order to let your iPod to be recongized.
If your iPod still not able to be recongized then you have to format your iPod while it is in a Disk Mode, you need to use the Disk Utility software (for Mac - I am not sure about PC) to erase the Partition of your iPod then do a formatting and disk verify straight after. Then you should able to reach the final stage i.e. restore the latest iPod updater and sysc your iPod with your iTune.
Additional hints which may help your during the fixing ..
1. Try to do few attempts, which could take you as long as 1 hour
2. Try to exchange cables to connect with your computer i.e. USB and Firewire
3. If you fail to solve your iPod with your PC then try to fix it with Mac and vice versa. Surprisingly, I do have experience that the iPod got recognized by my Mac after I connected it with a PC
Above are my experience and I am glad that more than 90% chance I am able to solve the iPods' problem with only one iPod Mini needed to be repaired.
Good luck and hope it works in your caseI am one as well.
I've been trying for days to get the infamously dreaded frowny faced 'pod off my screen, but, to no avail. I've tried charging it with computer and plug, reset and rereset for hours on end, taking it on and off disk mode for ages . . . you get the drift. My computer hardly reconizes it (it reports at start-up that I have a Unidentifyed Plugged in Object in my computer, and System Profiler admits it perfectly). Now, when I go to the last resort (sending the dear away, for the second time no less, is not one) of erasing the thing, it declares it's self impossible! Like I've said before, I've honestly tried every trick in the book (though if you have a new one I;d be more than will to give it a shot) and am seriously considering an exorcism.
