ITunes 9/iPod OS 3.1.1 combo has too many issues/bugs
After upgrading to iTunes 9 and Touch to 3.1.1 I am having too many issues:
iPOD TOUCH:
1. Everytime I launch music, it displays "upgrading library" message and takes eons (5 minutes) to show the library
2. Playlists don't work: most playlists show tracks in random order not matching iTunes, and also with total number of tracks different from iTunes. This had rendered most playlist as useless. Wondering when Apple will fix it.
iTUNES:
1. Much hyped arranging of applications through iTunes doesn't work. I took whole lot of time arranging the applications in iTunes virtual desktop, but after syncing I found entire arrangement lost both in iTunes and in Touch. I did it many times, but with the same unwanted result.
Any help?
That's what i used to tell people. but I up(down)graded to version 9 itunes, and version 3.1.1 for the ipod touch and now i can't restore the ipod because itunes can't connect to the software update server. why do i want to restore the ipod touch? mostly because every extra app added refuses to work! nothing launches. even apple's own remote app can't push through this mess the updates have created.
I'm on a mac. 10.5.8 everything used to work just fine before these updates. What hurts even more is that i actually had to pay for the touch 3.1.1 update as well, and now i've got a non-functioning ipod. cheers apple. How about they release an update to reverse the wonderful job this latest version has performed... Or at least a single company communication as to what is wrong, and how to fix it, rather than a dozen different suggestions in forums and non-existent support documentation!
rant now over. please just fix it apple.

My Ipod is locked since my daughter tried too many times trying to put the password. Now it says " iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes, but when I connect to iTunes it says "Please enter the password to access"
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

so I went to sync my ipod, and the computer says i have too many GB of space being used on my ipod for "other". I checked yesterday and there wasn't nearly that much space being used. What happened, and can i fix it? Thanks!
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

How do i unlock an ipod touch from putting the password in too many times?
How do I unlock an iPod touch from putting the password in too many times?
Restore...
From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. -

What software do i need to download to get this to work properly?
Thanks much!Legally, you can't. You cannot transfer ownership of bought contents.
BTW, just out of curiosity, why hasn't your oughter simply changes thru iTunes sync the music she wants on the iPod? You don't need to have multiple iPods or give them away to change music. You control that by creAting different playlists in iTunes, then choosing to sync the ones you want. -
Why the iPod is so funny while it can syn i week ago and now can't even find the iPod on the itune left hand column. I can still hear the sound when the iPod is plug in the PC, Why? I have install over a thousand songs and reinstall itune means to do it all over again. What a waste of time and energy? There are songs I can not retrieve again!!!!
No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

This is what I get when I go to iTunes and try to look up music. I've tried to clear my cookies in hopes that it would change this iTunes mishap. I'm out of ideas how to fix this issue, any information would help.
try a new/fresh apple brand cable and make sure it is the only usb cable in use. this worked for me, i noticed i had no problem with a lighting cable. i did a restore from scratch and from backup and it did not help me...and if you cant sync than you wont be able to get anything but apps back after the restore

It has a cracked screen also but that is not the issue. I am willing to live with the screen
Unfortunately, ANY signs of 'neglect or damage' automatically become the cause of any issues you're having. As in it doesn't matter if your screen was flickering before it was dropped, when they see the dent or cracked screen, that screen flicker was caused by the drop. Because they have no way to know if you are telling the truth (it's nothing personal, they just literally dont' know) so any signs of damage become the reason for your issue. The only way out of that is if you had taken in your iPad and, even if you didn't get it replaced, an apple employee can have documented that yes, that issue existed before the drop.
It's not fun, I know, but that's just how it is. Any signs of 'neglect or damage' and that 'neglect or damage' is the cause of your issues. -
New iTunes/Old iPod - I'm gonna lose it all...
Ok, so I had my computer overhauled and iTunes was removed. I no longer have the iTunes disc that came with my iPod mini.
So I downloaded iTunes version 5.0 from the website. It no longer has my music library (obviously). I am afraid to hook up my iPod mini (which contains about 400 songs) because I know I will most likely lose all of those songs.
I do have most of my music still on my computer in files that are playable in Windows Media Player. In case I hook up my ipod and lose all my songs is there a way I can copy the music I have saved on my computer into iTunes?
I know I'm going to lose it all. Apple just still has too many unknowns and obstacles to this while thing.The best way that i know is to install itunes 5.0 then open each and evey song etc. that you have on your computer, takes a long time to get every file but its worth it in the end. Howvever i'm a little shocked that itunes hasn't search and uploaded all the sound files for you. if that doesn't work i think there is software you can download that takes the music off the ipod, i don't think apple like you to use it but its your ipod,

ITunes + Kids + iPods + DRM = Confused
Before getting iPods for my two boys, music was simple for me and our family:
1 Macbook
1 iTunes Store Account
1 iPod (used mostly for family road trips)
Most of my music is ripped from our own CDs, but we are buying more stuff from the iTunes Store. Also, my two teens now have their own iPods.
Until now, any purchased music (think DRM issues) has been bought by me (one account). When the boys go off to college, will all these purchases be "stuck" on my Mac unless I make their computers "authorized." (Some stuff I by is for all of us and some stuff is just for them!)
Should they open their own accounts before I buy too much music for them? If we do that, will we need to buy the same songs several times if we all like them? Will I need to "re-buy" songs for them if we all like them?
I know that I can make several libraries, but I don't think that is my issue yet. (I know I can by sones without DRM, by that seems like the easy--but costly--solution.)
Any advise would be appreciated.
Message was edited by: PherdSorry, I am no expert in this but as far as I am aware you can have up to 5 computers authorised to use your iTunes account (See the Store -> Authorize Computer menu item). This allows you to use all 5 machines on the same iTunes store and each can play music from that iTunes Store account (I have two machines set up this way myself).
I manually copied the songs that I wanted across initially but now use a shared network library (Not useful for you with people in different states / locations). I also think you can set the iPod to re-sync with multiple computers where the computers have been authorised (But this in itself can lead to problems...).
I think the simplest way is to create a playlist for your son and then export it to a 2nd machine which has been authorised for the iTunes Account (Just don't let your son order too many tunes!) -
Sync fails in iTunes 9.0 & 9.01: "too many files open" and error -6999
I've been trying to synch my iPod (Touch, g1) for the last couple weeks but have been getting errors ever since going to iTunes 9.0.
First it blew my library and now says "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top. Can live with that (after going through and reloading about 2/3s of the album artwork).
But now am getting two errors every time I try to sync. One is, "Attempting to copy to the disk '[my iPod's name]' failed. There are too many files open currently."
Elsewhere I saw it suggested for this error that I turn off sharing, but, alas, sharing isn't turned on.
The second error message is, "The iPod '[my iPod's name]' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-6999)." and I can't find any mention by Apple about what to do about this.
HELP. Please.There has been some advice to turn off "sharing" to stop getting the "too many files open" error message, but, as noted in my question, sharing was already turned off in the iTunes Preferences.
But, it turns out, of course, that there is another kind of sharing in the 9.x iTunes -- the one for sharing libraries on your local network. Don't know why they are different because the function seems the same, but I noticed that there was still an icon for "home sharing" or "house sharing" (little picture of a house) on the library/playlist list in iTunes.
I right clicked on the house icon and found another checkbox switch there. I turned that one off too (Why Apple?) and, voila, the "too many files" error has (apparently) gone away.
Hope this helps some others out there.
Apparently you have to turn off sharing in two different places. (Again; why is that, Apple?) -
I have recently purchased a new lap top. Both my wife and I share our Itune music. When I purchesed the computer I was able to authorize my itunes account on it and move my purchaced music over from my iphone. However, I was not able to move my wifes music over because she has too many devices authorized under her account. Most of those computers are no longer in our possession and have been thrown out. How can she deauthorzise computer we don't have in our possession anymore without deauthorizing them all?
Authorizing deauthorizing has NO effect at all on your itunes library. You lose nothing.
You should also alwasy have a backup copy.
You MUST deauthorize all.
You have the only answer there is. -
I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!
What happens when the iPod is plugged in? anything? any errors?
Why is 50GB of music gone? All music should exist on the computer. Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on. -
