ITunes 7 and iPod

Now that I've installed iTunes 7, my iPod will update/sync whenever I plug it in, but then ejects itself when it's done. i can't make any changes to the syncing, it says "Waiting For iPod" then "iPod Couldn't Be Found". It's not on the desktop, but is still there on the side in iTunes. I also had a problem when it was first installed where my iPod wouldn't play anything, but I just restored it and re-updated it, that's not a problem anymore. I don't have any other problems, although I hear of a bunch of them. Why won't apple wait to release programs? Why do they jump the gun and ruin everyone's music? How can I fix my iPod to iTunes connection?

The key statement in your message is "I updated my iTunes"... Read through some of the other form messages and you'll find that you are NOT the only one. My iPod is DOA until Apple gets off their a** and issues a patch.
I wish they'd at least address the problem.... I'm a loyal Mac fan, and I have faith in them. How 'bout a "We know about this and we're working on it?"

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.

Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
Computer Specs
Windows XP SP3
384MB of Ram (works really good)
USB 1.1 connection
Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
IPOD Shuffle Specs
2nd Generation
1GB (964MB)
Version 1.0.4
unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
Itunes Specs:
Version 8.1.1.10

This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.

The issue you are experiencing is with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

TS1474 Lost several albums *completely* from iTunes library AND iPod-HELP

Sooo I had been using my laptop for iTunes purchases, management, etc., and then the thing crashed and has never been revived. I decided to begin using the desktop computer to access iTunes instead, and in the process of syncing a new purchase to my iPod, somehow inadvertently lost several older albums that I had purchased earlier. Now when viewing my library on either iPod or iTunes library on desktop computer, they do not appear to be present. Are they truly gone? All that money spent..poof? Please advise!

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
It appears that the mess resulted in the iPod seeing the computer/iTunes library as a new computer/iTunes library. If you sync to a new computer your iPod gets erased and the media in the iTunes library ends up on the iPod.

My itunes library and ipod playlist disappeared?

i'm not sure what happened, but i intentionally deleted a bunch of mp3 files from my library (about 75% of my music folder) after uploading them to my 30 gig new generation Ipod. I believe that after this action, my Itunes library disappeared - including my Ipod playlist (the playlist i defaulted my Ipod to sync with). Now, whenever i open up Itunes, there's no music in my library or anything. I still have my 10 gigs of music on my Ipod that i had uploaded prior to this, however, i want to add more songs onto my Ipod. The problem and question here is, i'm afraid that when i sync my Ipod with a new playlist, will all of the songs on my Ipod be erased?
i had the idea of downloading IpodRip to retrieve the songs from my Ipod to my computer, then just starting from scratch and adding all the songs at one time, however, IpodRip would only open with errors and not retrieve my songs.
i hope someone understands this situation - i have a difficult time explaining it in type without sounding confusing. i'm not very feature-savvy with Itunes or my Ipod.

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved also it was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described. Also it won't transfer playlists or videos as far as I know. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. Relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

How to move iTune library and iPod from old XP PC to new Vista PC

I am upgrading from an XP PC to a new Vista PC and would like to know where I can find instructions on what I should do to transfer my iTunes library and my iPod to the new computer. Thanks for any help.

I purchased Copy/Tran and, as you described, it was awesome in transferring all 2538 songs to the new computer.
The only problem remaining is that even though it transferred all songs including the 83 that I had purchased from iTunes, when I synced my iPod with the new computer's iTune library, I got a message saying it could not put the purchased songs on the iPod because they were "not authorized".
Any suggestions on what to do about that?

Itunes 10 and ipod touch 2g not syncing

Hi,
Upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1 and Ipod Touch 2g OS4.1 and now my Ipod won't sync with my MacBook Pro. It gets a few stages through and either hangs at the backup stage or the calendar/contacts sync.
I tried a full Ipod erase and restore, even as a new iPod - didn't work
Any other ideas. Anyone else suffering this?
Thanks!

I am having the same issue. I have an iPhone 4 with the most recent software...it was fine when I synced it yesterday (on my Macbook Pro). Today I updated my iTunes, plugged in my phone, and I got nothing. It's charging...it just won't recognize my phone. Weird, huh?
I haven't tried to restore it yet though. I can't stand losing text messages sent between backups...so I'm hoping I can wait this out and not lose those messages...

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...
regards

After updating to iTunes 7 and iPod 1.2, Ipod screen gets patchwork screen

I updated to iTunes 7 and also updated my 60 gig video ipod to version 1.2 last night and things seemed to go fine but my ipod screen garbles intermittantly - almost looks like madras cloth - you can't read anything - there are very fine lines both verticle and horizontal directions -
Sometimes (5x since last night) the ipod will lock up and i have to reset it. Reading the other posts, I tried turning off syc on podcasts but it is still doing it.
I have no hacks of any kind.

UPDATE - OK, I took the ipod into the apple store here - they tried to update it and get it fixed - ultimate resolution - get this...not a software issue at all - the hard drive on my 5G 60gig was on the verge of failing. Thankfully I was still within my first 6 months of purchase and the replacement was at no cost.
So, APPLE, sorry for casting stones about the update. I was wrong...
As far as diagnosing the hardware issue - you can reset the ipod and then listen to the hard drive - he said repeated clicking sounds and then a sound almost like crumpling paper (the best I can do) may be indicative - I think that's what he said (at least that's what I heard and asked him...)
anyway, could be a hardware issue for you too.
good luck.

Windows 7 iTunes 9 and Ipod touch Second Gen

I have upgraded my computer to Windows 7 and now to iTunes 9. When I attempt to sync my iPod, it begins the process, which will last for about 1 minute. Then it freezes and reports back the the iPod is no longer connected. I also witnessed that one of my four cores on my CPU becomes locked at 100%, my sound becomes very cracked and the only way to resolve the issue is to reboot. I can honestly say that I did not try to sync my iPod since I upgraded to Windows 7.
I uninstalled iTunes multiple times and reinstalled and still had the same error. I have also tried unplugging my iPod and replugging it back into the system and I got another error that it could not detect my iPod, yet Windows did find it as a device. I have reset my iPod as well just to be safe. Any idea's or is this just going to be a Windows 7 related issue and I will be sans iPod till they actually test and fix this in the future?

I have been having the same troubles as you with itunes 9 and windows 7 with a 16gb 3g iphone. I did a full wipe restore then upgrade to 3.1.2 as I do with every update. Now I just recently began using windows 7 and it seems broken as I was only once able to get some songs to sync. I have actually wiped out windows and reinstalled and started over and still the same.

Song Count Different in iTunes Library and iPod

I am perplexed now. iTunes says I have 6643 songs in the library, and it says it is fully synched with my iPod. Yet the iPod thinks it has only 6603 songs on it. I have gone carefully through the library, and every song thinks it is downloaded. When I mount the iPod, and highlight it in the Source column, the library also reports that the iPod has only 6603 songs on it, so it agrees with the iPod. So what are the 40 songs that the library has that won't download onto the iPod?

Solution found. I find this amazing, but the iTunes library and the iPod treat duplicates in different ways. In iTunes, if one accidentally ends up with a duplicate song (for example by ripping the same CD twice, not realizing it was ripped before) the iTunes library shows the song twice (and the underlying mp3 files exists twice in the store). And the number of songs showing in the library includes both copies of the song, the original and the duplicate. If you then synch up the iPod, however, iTunes only loads one copy of the song to the iPod. So in my case it transpired that there were 40 duplicates on my computer, none of which downloaded to the iPod, and that is why the song count was higher in the iTunes library, and why the volume of music in the library showed as 240 MB more than what was in the iPod. Very strange design that iTunes knows enough not to download duplicates, but still shows them in the library. Solution is to go to Edit / Show Duplicates in the iTunes library, but be careful as there will be many false positives.

ITunes 6 and iPod fallen out??

I've just upgraded my iTunes 5 to iTunes 6, and am fairly miffed to find out that since upgrading iTunes my iPod (3G and no probs prior this) will not connect to my comp (windows XP), the iPod doens't know its connected, it doesn't appear anywhere on my comp as connected and i am trying in vain to get my nice cosy iTunes 5 back wtih no success, has anyone else had this same problem??

hmmmm. there's something peculiar going on here.
do your security software suppliers offer "online" scans? they can sometimes pick up on an infection if the software on the PC is compromised.
(a bit of a longshot here ... actually the only malware i know of that regularly affects ipod connections is Apropos, which is a major cause of iPod not recognized and Windows Device Manager is empty.)
just doublechecking ... did you try doing a selective startup to see if you could get a connection then?

Missing media from iTunes libarey and iPod

I went to get a song off my iPod to listen to and notice it wasn't there. Went back to my iTunes libarey and the songs wasn't there either. I'm missing about 100 to 150 songs. How can I get them back beacuae those songs wasn't free. Please help.

Legally no since you are only allowed one download of music and it is your responsibility to backup the music. However, sometimes Itunes will allow a redownload at no additional cost if you explain what happens. To contact iTunes go the the following and select the appropriate topic:

ITunes Match and iPod Classic sync problems

Hi all,
I've recently signed up to iTunes Match and use iTunes on my Windows PC (at home) and MacBook Pro (at work). I also use an iPod Classic which I sync with the Windows PC.
I've had an issue which has happened a few times when I sync. I think the problem occurs when iTunes is open on both the PC and the Mac, but I'm not sure.
When I sync my iPod, it increments play count, and updates the recently played playlist as normal, but every now and then, I am asked to sign back into iTunes Match, and when I do that, all play counts from the ipod sync disappear. The Recently Played playlist also no longer has songs played on the iPod included. However, on the "last played" field, the correct date and time of when the song was played in populated.
The iPod is where I listen to music most often, and I would really like to keep the play counts up to date, but I can't figure out what is happening.
Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas if I can resolve this?
Thanks.

The same thing happened to my iPod. It shows that it has no songs, but when i checked the iPod's memory, it was using the same amount of space as before (i had 52 gb of music, now it's just 52 gb of... nothing).
