ITunes upgrade and iPod syncing issues

I opened itunes and it said there was an upgrade for it. I installed it and when I plug in my ipod, it syncs, then when I try to sync it again, it does not. on the initial opening of itunes I noticed that windows has the ipod drive listed as "G". upon syncing it disappears. I unplugged the ipod and then plugged it back in. windows again recognizes the ipod and the ipod automatically syncs when connected so it can find it in itunes. as soon as its done syncing, again it disappears from windows. there has to be a fix for this. as far as I can tell its in the itunes software that is causing this because I have not changed any drivers. any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you don't want to do manual update, theres nothing else we can really recommend. You might want to invest in a cheap External drive and put all your music on it. You can get one for 100 or less if you shop around

  • ITunes download and iPod sync

    I have been having trouble with my iPod Classic and iTunes for months. I downloaded a new version around the begining of the 7.0 version and my iPod Classic has not been recognized by iTunes ever since. I have done all of the 5 steps with no luck. Now I have removed iTunes completly to try again. When I try to download the latest version it goes to the next screen and thanks me for downloading the program but never actually performs the download.
    I'm getting pretty choked. Can anyone help me out?

    I assume you mean you lost your library? If so, short answer is Yes, if you sync your iPod using auto updating those tracks will be removed from your iPod.
    How did you lose the library? Perhaps those tracks are still safely on your hard drive and you just need to rebuild a new library with those files.

  • HT1386 I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New song that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    Hey Etti101,
    I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

  • 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.

  • TS3694 Error message when attempting to back up iPod to iTunes, no number given. No previous back ups as a new user, current iTunes software and iPod iOS.

    Error message when attempting to back up iPod to iTunes, no number given. No previous back ups as a new user, current iTunes software and iPod iOS.

    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. 

  • Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

    I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player.  It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams.  It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
    The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
    I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux.  I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
    To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com
    To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
    I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
    We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
    If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    You need to add this setting:
    dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
    The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
    I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
    Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
    https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
    Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.

  • TIMECODES are important for audio and video sync issues

    Hello, just wanted to pass on what I learned so that others can avoid the trouble that I've had to go through. Perhaps this may help someone who is stuck on the launch pad. :)
    BOTTOM LINE: Info for the beginner. Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
    PROBLEM: Capture works great it seems. When I go to the folder that contains the captured file and view in Windows Media Player audio and video are in sync. BUT when viewing the video asset in the source and program monitors, the audio and video are not in sync.
    SOLUTION:
    Before capturing a tape make certain the following is checked:
    (1) Edit->Preferences->Capture->Use device control timecode
    (2) Edit->Preferences->Device Control->Options->Timecode Format
    (3) Project->Project Settings->General->Video->Display format
    As for the devices timecode choose something other than Auto Detect. Then match the project timecode with what was chosen during capture. The projects display format could of course be set to frames.
    I searched everywhere for audio and video sync issues in google, adobe forums, F1 help, and hv20.com and everyone was talking about:
    (1) Presets: 1080p30 vs. 1080i30 (60i).
    (2) brakes in the tape where timecode for the audio and video get misaligned during capture.
    But choosing the correct hardware settings and timecodes to solve audio and video sync issues never popped up.
    MY HARDWARE: Canon HV30, HDV

    >Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
    Must be an HDV only issue because my synch is always perfect.

  • HT5262 I use outlook for contact/calendar management, I have an iphone 5 and would a manual iTunes backup and then sync with the cloud work??

    I use outlook 2007to manage both contacts and calendar. I have a new iPhone 5.  Is the bestr way to update iCloud to do manual iTune updates and then sync to the iCloud.

    You want to avoid syncing calendars and contacts with both iCloud and iTunes.  Doing so will result in the creation of duplicates.  If you want to sync your iPhone calendar and contacts with iCloud, consider also syncing your computer with iCloud (requires Vista SP2 or higher and Outlook 2007 or higher).  iCloud will then keep the calendar and contacts on your phone in sync with Outlook without using iTunes.  (You would still, of course, continue to sync with iTunes for your other iTuens media.)
    This guide explains how to set this up: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.

  • Just did the iTunes upgrade and it wiped the phone and put all my bf info since it was his computer?. Any ideas

    Just did the iTunes upgrade and it changed all my info to my boyfriends since I had to use his computer ? Any ideas

    If you've just moved the drive between systems then see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows just in case that reveals the missing files. Apply to a single album folder first as a test. Otherwise, if you've not done too much with the drive since things went missing, an undelete tool might recover the lost media. FreeRecover looks promising... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted that looks recoverable. Backup to another drive when you're done.

  • 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...

  • Why when i make changes to songs in my itunes library and then sync, the changes do not apply on my ipod?

    When i go to edit songs in my library, like changing the artists name or album, i then click sync and look on my ipod and the changes have not applied. I tried clicking the manage music manually box and to edit the songs manually from my ipod and still when i edit them and make changes on my actual ipod the songs are still the same. Any help?

    I have tried everything I have read on the Internet about sync issues and restore etc and not there isn't a single song on my iPad or iPod touch. All of the songs are listed in my iTunes but are all greyed out, some have the cloud symbol next to them but lots don't and some say waiting.
    Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!?

  • 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).
