    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • HELP --- iTunes and iPod freeze

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this....I have an ipod Photo (using windows xp) and everytime I add music to my ipod, say 15 songs, itunes will freeze as soon as it finishes adding the songs. I get the "not responding," "error" prompt and have to close itunes and disconnect my ipod just to have it do it all over again. If I re-open itunes without disconnecting and reconnecting my ipod, itunes says it can't read the ipod. This is really annoying because everytime I want to add songs I have to go through this whole process. Does anyone know what I am talking about??? Thanks in advance for any tips you can give me.

  • Itunes and ipod freeze during sync

    hello,
    firstly, i would like to thank all you kind souls who post to this forum with very helpful suggestions. you have helped me with many past difficulties.
    my present issue concerns transferring songs from itunes to my ipod (4th generation). here's the story:
    on friday, my ipod started acting funny (skipping songs, etc.). by saturday, it would no longer do anything (folder with !, resetting did not help). this had happened to me before so i did not freak out and figured i just had to restore (that had worked the first time around). however, when i plugged in my ipod to my computer (powerbook g4, just three weeks old), it was not recognised and i was prompted to initialize the disk. i then came to this forum and read pretty much everything related to this kind of problem. countless resets, erases, partitions, etc., later, i was able to get the ipod software back on the ipod. it seemed all normal but there was no music on it (makes sense since i'd restored it). but then...when i plugged in my ipod to sync it with itunes, it would freeze at a given song (not always the same one, sometimes 31 songs into it, sometimes 500). i came back to this forum and read that i should reset my ports, which i did. didn't help, the sync still freezes both the ipod and itunes.
    so that's where i'm at: i have the ipod software on the ipod, but i can't sync it with itunes (i.e. i can't get my music onto it). my brother thinks i have bad blocks (or sectors). is this a possibility? the ipod does make some noise (not sure whether it's the infamous clicking...).
    so here are my questions:
    1) is there anything i haven't done yet that could get the ipod to sync with itunes?
    assuming i have done everything and the problem is with my ipod's hard disk:
    2) would a program like disk warrior potentially be able to fix the ipod?
    3) would it cost me less to have the ipod serviced than to buy disk warrior?
    4) is there somekind of open-source or freeware disk repair utility that could perhaps repair my ipod's disk?
    thanks for reading and i really look forward to any suggestions.
    gen
    p.s. the ipod's more than a year old, so no longer under warranty.

    Okay, I got it to work tonight...
    My U2 iPod would freeze while syncing. I restored and tried to sync and it would freeze on different song #'s. All the while I heard a clicking sound coming from the drive that I never noticed before. It would just click once in a while, not repeatedly.
    My fix: (a version of the carpet drop) While the iPod was on and spinning, I held it tight with my right hand, facing me and smacked it's side into the palm of my left hand, simulating the amount of force that it would incurr from a waist-high drop onto carpet.
    Now, this force was sheer approximation, being that it would be too time consuming and difficult to calculate this exact amount of force. I mean, my waist may be higher/lower than the original carpet-dropper, and not to mention the plushness of the carpet! Who knows if he did it on Shenandoah Shagg or maybe just some Bermuda Burr Rug?!
    By the way, the problem started after being left out in the car on recent cold nights... hmmmm, my iPod thinks me a jerk.
    Anyways, here are some previous attempts at fixing my situation (in no particular order):
    1) restored from 5 different iPod updates (2004-11-15, 2005-02-22, 2005-06-26, 2005-09-23, 2005-11-17)
    2) tried to fix with Disk Utility
    3) tried to fix with Tech Tool Pro
    4) tried to fix with Disk Warrior
    5) tried to initialize multiple time (even writing zeroes)
    6) manual sync

  • ITunes 7.02 FREEZES - please help!

    So I upgraded to 7.02 because my computer was stalking me to do so. Now when I open iTunes it freezes while it is trying to define "gapless playback" I really don't care about gapless playback, I just want any playback and I can't figure out how to make it stop and I hate the new iTunes and I need to be able to get to my music. Can someone help me free my computer of the need to insure gapless playback????

    Version 7.0.2.16
    okay. with that message on earlier versions (itunes 7.0.0.70 and 7.0.1.8), some folks had some success with pgfpdwife's technique in the following post:
    pgfpdwife: Re: Could not open key HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classic\Quicktime.Quicktime\
    note carefully that the technique involves a registry edit. be sure to make a backup of any keys you edit. if you're unfamiliar with your registry or registry editing, head to your XP help and support, do a search on registry, and read through the articles that come up.
    There are also some instructions on how to back up registry keys in the following document:
    Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    is that of any help with your 7.0.2.16 version of this?

  • ITunes and Quicktime issue (Please Help)

    So last night I download the update for iTunes. Everything seemed to be going fine, I didn't have any problems. This morning I turn on my computer and try to run iTunes and it gives me an error message, an dwon't even open iTunes. Not only that, I can't run any Quicktime file, it gives me the same message. I downloaded the installer again and attempted to repair iTunes. It said I was sucessful, but when I tried opening iTunes or Quicktime the error still appeared. This is really frustrating, this is what I get for updating? Someone please help!

    you'll probably want to run the standalone quicktime install
    also, what is the error message that you are getting?

  • Macbook Itunes and Ipod...help!!!

    I just got a new harddrive put on my macbook, and everything is working great, all of my itunes music is still on there, but when I plugged in my ipod it said that 60 songs could not be put on my ipod because they were not authorized for this computer. These are songs I bought from itunes, and still play in itunes so I can not figure out why this is happening. If someone could help me out that would be great.

    You need to "Authorize" this hard drive to use music purchased from iTunes.
    Open iTunes, go to Store>Authorize Computer. Follow the instructions. This should take care of it.
    iTunes see your new hard drive as if it was a new computer. If you had gotten a new computer, you would have had to de-authorize the old and authorize the new computer.
    Good Luck.

  • I lose my internet connection when i sync iTunes and ATV. Please help

    Ive just bought a new Apple TV and I am trying to stream TV shows and movies from my iMac via the wireless network.
    The ATV found the right network instantly and I wrote in the password. Ive paired the iMac iTunes and ATV and I can see all the episodes and movies on my TV.
    When I want to start to watch any of it, it loses its connection to the router/network. And so does the iMac. I havent had any trouble with the iMacs connection to the network until now. If Im not trying to watch anything on my TV, the internet is fine on both the ATV and iTunes.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?
    Ive tried to fix the DHCP in my router settings, but im not even sure what that means, let alone if it helps When i lose the internet, I can still see the network name, but when I try to connect, it says that connection timeout.
    I have a D-Link DI 524 router.
    Thanks so much
    Lisa
    EDIT: If I exit iTunes my internet connection is fine. As soon as I start it and iTunes starts to sync with ATV, I lose the internet. Anyone know why and how I can fix it?
    I forgot to add that WAN settings in my router says that I have Dynamic IP Address.
    Thanks

    Okay.. When i stop the syncing between the ATV and itunes, I can watch a movie/TV-show for about 30 seconds, then the network will timeout.
    So i know the atv is working. I have a feeling its the router that is too old? I will try to upgrade its firmware tomorrow, as i was told i couldnt to this when connected to wireless?

  • Itunes and Ipod Nanos! HELP PLEASE!

    In my family we have 4 ipod nanos. 2 of them are the older versions and are like the skinny ones and the other 2 are the more square looking ones. Well Itunes will no longer open on our computer. If I delete it from the computer and then re download it will I be able to get my songs that are on the ipods right now to the new itunes?
    Thanks!

    Uninstalling and reinstalling a new version of iTunes shouldn't affect the music folder on your computer (and in any event, you do have a back up right?).
    However, if you find you need to transfer music from iPod to iTunes, there are various 3rd party programs that will do this.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    If you have music purchased from the iTunes store on your iPod, then you can transfer it from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.

  • Log and capture freezes - please help

    hi,
    I'm using FCP 5 (studio). on G5 dual 2GH 1GB.
    it has become a nightmare to log and capture. after few minutes from working with log and capture the applications freezes. I have to force quit FCP.
    I trashed the preferences once, I re-installed, but the same thing is happening. I'm working on 2 projects, deadline is approaching.
    I appreciate any helpful responses.
    sz

    Are you trying to record three video streams simultaneously? Or by a video amplifier, you mean a video switcher?
    If you are using Capture Now, make sure you have set a capture limit. This is why:
    When you use log and capture, the disk system is being asked by FCP to essentially "keep capturing until we tell you to stop ... and no, we don't know HOW much that will be either." It is stressful on the system to be continually wandering around looking for space to stuff those ones and zeros with out any sense of how many they have to accommodate. One solution available to the system is to allocate the ENTIRE empty space on the disk as the potential capture file. This essentially locks the machine as there is no headroom for basic disk operations.
    However if you set a limit on capture now, say 60 minutes, the disk system can allocate the space and may seem to be less confused by the process. It still does not know EXACTLY how much you want, but it knows you will not want MORE THAN the limit and therefor can reduce some of the uncertainty.
    Better yet is to record to a timecode addressable tape. This allows you to log the tape, then use batch capture. When you do this, the system knows EXACTLY how much space to allocate for each file and is very efficient.
    Good luck.

  • Virus deleted contents off itunes and I pod please help

    My computer has recently had a virus and deleted my i tunes, I  tried to connect my ipod to load the music on to the i tunes and it also deleted that. Is there any way that I can log in to get back at leas the music that I purchased and how do I do it?
    Regards

    The way I installed my games on my iPod is through iTunes. Highlight your iPod under devices, then click on the far right tab which is Games (at least on a mac) and click the Sync games button and select the radio button that says Select games and check off Zuma. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest Applecare if you have it or your device is inder 90 days old, barring that I'd email iTunes Music store. But I just installed 2 games on mine yesterday and it worked flawlessly .
    Good luck

  • ITunes and iPod Classic Freeze: How Can I Avoid It???

    Sorry if this should have been a part of the longer iTunes and iPods freeze discussion string.
    My 80g Classic is in the mail and due to arrive on Friday. I ordered directly from Apple (for the engraving but obviously not as easy to return).
    After reading all the discussion about the iTunes freezing issue I have a few questions of my own:
    I have Windows 2000 at work, Windows XP on desktop at home and Windows Vista on my laptop. My entire library (combination of original home desktop, smaller work library and a few songs even purchased on laptop) is on external hard drive that I use with laptop.
    Which computer should I connect my new iPod to first? My preference is work since the iPod is being shipped here. It arrives on Friday and I want to start using it on a road trip on Saturday.
    I'm a Manage Manually kind of guy especially since I have music on three different authorized computers.
    Any tips or suggestions that you think will help me PRIOR to actually trying to connect iPod with iTunes would be greatly appreciated!

    NO answer is my answer. I guess I can't avoid it. Thankfully I learned to look at the box that says not compatable with Windows 2000.
    I'm going to give it a shot with Windows Vista. I have latest iTunes on laptop and my old 60g Photo connects just fine.
    Best of luck to us all!
