Itunes 7 has messed up my video ipod 30GB

I am getting the error "itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted"
I have tried everything:
Reset, restore to factory settings,upgrade ipod to 1.2.1,
now it's going to a loop of Do not disconnect,
but the ipod still gets unrecognised and of course I lost all my data:(
Any ideas?
I wonder if this itunes version has been fully qad with video ipods?
I have seen more postings with this problem but no solution.
Thanks

Thanks everyone. I have decided to uninstall iTunes 7 and put 6 back on. My iPod was immediately found and my music is uploading as I write this. Luckily I did not have to reimport everything to iTunes.
Guess I will wait for the next release. I have not been able to find anything on the Apple site about this error even though it appears many are having it.
If anyone is looking there is still a version 6 download out there.

My itunes library has more songs than my ipod will hold.

My itunes library has more songs than my ipod will hold. What is the best way for me to choose what actually goes on the ipod?

Or, when you are synching choose the songs you want on the IPod by checking them in the library, then tell it to only synch checked items.
To be honest, the 'smart playlist' is probably a simpler way though. Go to playlists, click 'create new smart playlist' and choose your parameters from there. As you add new music to the library the playlist will update itself.

HT1459 My Itunes library has 700 songs. The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB. How many songs will that hold aproximately.

My Itunes library has 700 songs. The Ipod Shuffle is 2 GB. How many songs can I get on the Shuffle...aproximately?

To see the exact size of your library, simply look at the status bar at the bottom. If you don't have a status bar, enable by going to View > Show Status Bar.
If you want to fit more on the iPod, use the capability to "Convert higher bit rate songs..." as shown below. If you set this to 128, you can fit around 500 4-minute songs in 2GB.

ITunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb

I desperately need help. Recently my computer crashes and I reformated it. So I had to reinstall iTunes. Ever since then iTunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb. A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I am unable to update my iPod which drives me crazy. Somebody please help!
I browsed through some threads which have similar problems as I do, but I am unable to reply in any. It says: This topic has been archived - replies are not allowed.
There's this thread here about the problem I am facing but I doesn't seem to understand the solution to it.

Can somebody please help me?

A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

ITunes does not recognize 5th Generation video iPod in WinXp

PROBLEM: 5G iPod not recognized in iTunes (shows as removable hard drive in My Computer) via USB on HP Pavilion Notebook running WinXP. Latest error states insufficient power to run hi speed USB device on this computer. HP support replies that installed USB should comply to 480 Mbps hi speed standard. Trying to connect iPod via firewire results in "iPod can not be connected with firewire" error. Have tried the following steps before reaching this point:
Description of iPod: 5G, 30 gig video iPod model MA002LL contains 1.2 gig data (282 songs, 4 videos, 0 pictures)
Action: 5G iPod worked fine until connected to download purchased music 3 weeks ago.
Result: iPod screen shows "Do not disconnect" iTunes does not recognize iPod.
Action: Reset iPod (iPod works fine when not connected to any computer).
Result: same as above
Action: Recharged iPod overnight with wall outlet to confirm full charge.
Result: same as above
Action: Tried to run iPod Updater but iPod was not recognized by Updater (it does recognize iPod Mini and 4G)
Result: same as above
Action: Reinstalled latest version of iTunes.
Result: same as above
Action: Reinstalled COM interface for IPod Service several times.
Result: same as above
Action: Ran repair maintenance on iTunes (repair successful).
Result: same as above
Action: Uninstalled iTunes and iPod software, deleted their folders and bin files and cleaned out Temp directory, disabled virus protection and disconnected from network. Ran Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. (Uninstall successful)
Result: same as above
Action: Restarted and reinstalled iTunes and iPod Updater
Result: same as above
Action: Diasabled all non critical items in start menu
Result: same as above
Action: Uninstalled all three USB controllers
Result: same as above
Action: Reinstalled USBs
Result: same as above
Action: Tried to connect by firewire
Result: Error this device cannot be connected by IEEEE use USB cable.
Action: Talked to HP support to confirm USB standards on Pavilion Notebook.
Result: USB should read all 3 standard data speeds up to hi speed 480 MBps
Action: Tried 5G iPod on 2 other PC desktops with WinXP with powered USB 2.0 ports
Result: iPod shows "Do not disconnect" iTunes does not recognize iPod and both computers respond with the following error (which is not received on the notebook) "insufficient power to run hi speed USB device on this computer" both Desktops are older than the Notebook and have older versions of USB 2.0.
Action: Tried it on my iMac G4 thinking I could reformat it. Mac understandably does not read it as a drive. I tried the following three connections:
1) Firewire connection: iPod screen shows: firewire connection is not supported; 2) Powered USB port connection: drive is not recognized by Mac and iPod screen shows do not disconnect; 3) Unpowered USB port connection returns an error of "USB Low power notice" on Mac monitor and iPod screen shows menu but won't connect to Mac.
QUESTIONS:
Has the 5G iPod reached a point where it now pulls too much power to be read by USB? Is HP not giving me correct specs regarding the performance of the Notebook's USB? Why can I update my iPods with firewire on my Mac but not the PC? Any suggestions regarding what I should try next?
Thanks.
HP Pavilion dv notebook Windows XP

Solution was found: HP was encountering a conflict with a trial version of Symantec Security Center and Norton Anti-Virus causing an incomplete install of iTunes.
The following actions resolved the problem. Uninstalled both Symantec applications, uninstalled QuickTime 6*, installed QuickTime 7.1.3 (iTunes would not install successfully prior to this step, seems redundant but worked), installed iTunes 7.1 (with Quicktime 7.1.3 again), connected iPod 5G which was finally recognized, received error that iPod was currupted, restored iPod and is now working fine.
I hope that this helps someone else with similar video iPod problems.

ITunes 7.0.2 synching with video iPod

After upgrading to iTunes 7.0.2, I placed my iPod video into the dock. A message came up stating that not all of my files had been transferred because my iPod software was too old. This meant that all my purchased songs and videos did not copy over. I know I have the latest software edition for my iPod and the Update button is not available to even check for updates.
Now the interesting thing is when I place the iPod into the dock while the my iMac is off and then boot it up, it syncs correctly with my iPod. All purchased material copies over and no error message comes up. It is only when I try to insert the iPod while the iMac is running I have the problem.
Any ideas from anyone?

Yes, Quicktime is up to date. Everything is up to day, but when placing the iPod in the dock while the iMac is running is when the problem arises.

Try using iPod Software Updater to completely erase your iPod and then try putting all your information back on to it via iTunes.

Video Ipod 30GB isnt charging

Hi,
I bought a 30GB black video ipod recently and whenever i charge it for almost 8 to 9 hours the battery drains within 10 to 15 mins. I have set the equalizer, repeat, backlight to off still battery drains quickly. What could be the issue??
Regards,
Bash..

Wow 10-15 mins that is really short; you probably most definetly have a defective Battery; go to an Apple store and tell them about it and they should give you a new iPod; or you can go http://depot.info.apple.com/iPod/ and get a replacement from there but I would suggest you go to the Apple store since it would be a lot faster and if you do it online they might just send it back in saying there's nothing wrong with it; which they'll probably be wrong.

If itunes 6.0 has messed up your older ipod read this!

Hey folks,
I had a 40g 3rd gen ipod that died about the 8th or 9th time I connected it to itunes 6.0. Wouldn't disconnect, then wouldn't appear on the desktop or the firewire bus, nothing but the apple symbol and the sound of it unsuccessfully trying to access its hd. I figure ok, so got a new 5th gen 60gb and recycled the 40g.
Then a week later I plugged my daughter's 15g into the same computer and ouch! - THE SAME THING HAPPENED! TOO much of a coincidence. Somehow 6.0 or my g5 with tiger and the latest ipod update were not happy and were mangling the ipods's directory. I almost despaired but I am happy to say that after much sweat I managed to fix it! Here is how:
I ran the power down. I put it in disc mode. I put it on my ibook g4 (still running panther - who knows if that effected things). I ran Alsoft's Diskwarrior and it saved the day. It ran repairs and then rebuilt the directory. After that the ipod apeared on the desktop as a generic disk. Then I was able to use Ipod updater to restore the original software. And now the music is loading back on it! Great! But I am not connecting this thing to itunes 6.0 again. I will run it on the ibook with older itunes.
Now of course I am annoyed for trashing the 40g but since the battery was needing replacement I'll just have to live with the new 60g I got (hehehe - though I am poorer for that....)
I realize this doesn't help those with pcs much. All I can suggest is find a hd repair program that can rebuile directories. I know Diskwarrior specifically supports ipods - no idea if there is one like that for pcs.

When I play a movie through iTunes, audio has no issues but video stutters and skips

Hey everyone,
I have a Dell 17R, Windows 8 64 bit, intel i7-3630QM at 2.4 GHZ, 8gb ram, Nvidia GT-650M at 1920x1080 using driver 320.49
When I play a movie in iTunes, the audio works flawlessly but the video will be smooth for a few seconds, stutter and then skip small 2-3 second spots. I haven't noticed that the parts skipped are any more graphically intense than other spots and there is no discernable pattern.
In the past, I have been able to play movies through iTunes with absolutely no problem but when I downloaded this most recent one a few days ago all of my movies have been experiencing the same issue.
When I stream other videos from other sources I do not experience the same problems as I do when I use iTunes. Streaming 1080P over youtube or a similar services is no issue.
I have updated my video drivers to the latest version as well.
I am at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

How can I restore music purchased from itunes that has been lost from my ipod classic?

To avoid crashing my PC dumped several of my purchased iTunes. How can I reclaim them and REsync them with my Ipod Classic?

You can redownload them at no cost again via iCloud. See this article for more information.

ITunes Update has messed up my Windows installation

I just opened iTunes to transfer some files across to an iPhone, and it prompted me to update iTunes, which I agreed to. Upon the update finishing it stated that a system restart was required in order to complete the process. However, after doing this CHKDSK thinks the C drive needs checking and goes through the full check. Upon this completing, the machine again restarts as expected, but Windows will then not boot. It gets to a certain stage of loading (Windows splash loading screen shows for a few seconds), then the PC restarts and gets itself stuck in a loop of trying to start. The only way I can get it to boot is to start in safe mode and then use system restore to get back to a previous configuration. I thought maybe something had gone wrong the first time, so I tried the whole process again, and again I've got the same problem.
Now I feel like the only way I'm going to get this to work is to wipe the machine and start again as something has obviously gone haywire with the hard disk after applying this update. As this is an iPhone, I don't have the luxury of using any other software for transfering files to and from it.
Has anybody else had a similar issue?

Well we don't even know you, so why us? we are just users of Apple equipment, like you are, well maybe not quite like you are but you know what I mean.
Curb the attitude and describe your issues and someone may help.
Here's one to start with, the little grey wheel that went around and around while Mountain Lion and Mavericks got started has been replaced by an blue bar that gets longer. It's normal.

ITunes Match has messed up my entire music collection - please help me

Does anyone else have a problem with iTunes Match splitting their albums? I have been happily using iTunes for my entire music collection (round 800 albums) but it became a disaster the day I turned on Match. Where an album has a guest contributor on a track, it removes that track and places it separately, same album name and cover, but with the individual track(s). Some albums have been split across more than 7 individual album entries. The changes appear to be permanent. Turning off Match does not cure the problem. Removing the album and reloading it doesn't cure the problem. I have been through and individually altered each album track to say that it it part of the same album. This results in the album tracks places together but then shows the album as 'unknown artist' so I can't view my music properly. I am at my wits end with this. Please help.

Hi,
This is not a match issue but a general iTunes problem - read this article http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp

Any ideas other than a complex reinstall of itunes?
