Lots of unanswered posts... fingers crossed this time - [syncing problem]

I originally posted this several days ago and although I've seen lots of views, I've gotten no responses. There seem to be some very iSavvy people on here, so hopefully there might still be someone around with some insight. Here's what's happening:
I got a new 32gb iPod Touch, 4th Generation, last week. Everything's been working fine. Then, this morning, I went to sync my iPod and iTunes didn't open automatically. I opened it manually and it hung for a few seconds then worked again but my iPod wasn't showing up. I checked in Windows Explorer and my iPod was definitely connected. To clarify, I'm using iTunes 10.1.1.4 (64-bit version) under Windows 7 Home, 64-bit.
I went through all the steps in all the appropriate KB articles and nothing worked. I tried stripping all traces (AppData, iTunes Library, registry entries, etc.) of any Apple software and reinstalling and still no luck.
I tried placing my iPod in Recovery mode and, lo, iTunes recognizes it. I figured it must be an issue with the iPod. So I, reluctantly, did a restore. Everything went fine until the point where the iPod restarts. iTunes does not recognize my iPod. So now my iPod is stuck in a factory reset state (screen with the picture of the USB cord and the arrow to the iTunes icon) and iTunes 10.1 won't recognize it. It's not showing up in Windows Explorer at this point but the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is showing in Device Manager.
I read one post where someone had success rolling back to iTunes 9 then updating to 10.1 that way. I tried this. While it didn't work, it did show me something interesting: Although iTunes 9 could not sync with my newer iPod, it DID recognize it and tell me to update.
Finally, I tried rolling back to version 7.9.2 of CoreAudioToolbox.dll. Still no luck.
Since then, I've managed to sync just fine with iTunes 10 running under a Windows XP Virtual Machine in VMWare Workstation. I've also synced just fine with CopyTrans manager, an iTunes alternative (although it's not very powerful and doesn't sync files for apps ie: Can't add videos for VLC Player). Seeing as these worked, I can rule out problems with the iPod and problems with my Windows install. It seems to be localized to iTunes running under Windows 7.
Futhermore, I've realized that I can't view the 'Devices' tab in iTunes preferences. If I click on it, iTunes just hangs and stops responding. The tab becomes highlighted, but the content below stays as whatever tab I was previously on. This specific symptom seems like something to me that might clearly indicate what trouble my iTunes is having - an overall issue with devices - but every combination of search terms that I can think of turns up nothing.
My hope is that someone here will know what this means, what files and/or registry entries I have to delete and or replace? Did I miss something when I cleared everything iTunes related out of my system before? I must have, since the isses carry over from install to install.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

This may be an issue with Windows 7 64bit. I have a test machine at work with Windows 7 Pro and iTunes keeps crashing and freezing.

  • Is it just me..or lots of unanswered posts?  need help with sync/restore...

    nearly lost everything off my iPhone, due to a computer problem which holds primary iTunes library...I believe I'm finally having success right now in restoring.....
    But just in case......
    my question is whether I can connect my iPhone to a second computer which has a separate library, and let it back up in iTunes on that computer......
    if I do this routinely, and if the primary computer dies on me, I'd still have the option to restore from computer#2,,,, correct? and not lose all my current data on the iPhone...... correct?
    thanks.

    From your post it would seem that your iTunes Library files (or rather backups of them) are on your external drives. This is the most important thing from the point of preserving your library if you should need to rebuild the computer. What is not so clear is if the files that iTunes opens each time you use it are the ones on the external drive or a set of internal copies. One way of checking is to run the script iTunesXMLPath which tells you which .xml file iTunes is updating, and therefore the folder containing the other active library files. If this folder is the parent folder of the *iTunes Media* folder, (See *Edit > Preferences > Advanced* tab) then the library is portable and can survive being moved or having the drive letter changed.
    If you are currently using the "internal" copy of the library files then, having updated the copy on your primary "external" drive, you can switch the active library by clicking on the icon to start iTunes and immediately pressing & holding down the shift key until asked to *Create or choose a library*. Click choose and navigate to the folder on the external drive. Check everything works properly.
    SyncToy would be ideal for you to manage keeping the two external copies of the library updated. The first time you run it a wizard navigates you through the task of choosing two folders to pair up. It can be used for any general folder mirroring backup so you can easily create other folder pairs to take care of your downloads, documents, email stores etc.
    Once you've confirmed that your library is running from the external drive then you can rebuild your Windows installation, install iTunes and use the SHIFT-start-iTunes method to open the library on the external.
    What virus do you think you have? If it's one of those "Your computer is infested with 123 different suspect files, click here to give us some money to clean it for you!" types then http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix may be a good place to start, assuming of course that the URL-redirection element of the virus lets you get to the correct site.

  • Forums won't let me post! - except this time, obviously

    I cannot get the website forums to work properly. I have tried on four different computers including one from a different location entirely. I also created a different identy entirely and it still doesn't work. If I go to log in, it logs me in and shows my personal info, allows changes to my password, whatever.  During the entire time I am in forums the top of the page says “Welcome, always frustrated” (that’s my user name). When I go to a forum question I posted a couple of weeks ago, I can view it, but I cannot reply. It does say “logon/register” but that link takes you to a page that never loads.

  • "Control transaction cannot be completed at this time" IPS Problem

    Hi,
    Yesterday the module AIP-SSM-20 of the customer for second time in the last 5 month present a error on the sensor and is just the sensor stop the analyzed of packet.
    When the problem is present you can access the management interface, the interface respond de ICMP packet, you can monitoring event but  just show me the same 3 event, that show you below:
    evError: eventId=1351437734660979649  vendor=Cisco  severity=error

    Messages, like this one, in the category - ct to sensorApp timed out - were logged 222 times in the last 14433 seconds.  name=errUnclassified 
    The two time that this problem was happening I just reload the sensor and then it´s work again.
    My question is; why the sensor stop analyzed packet?
    Could be the ASA?
    Best regard.

    It could be a issue with IPS. You need to collect show-tech-support and contact Cisco TAC. Logs may have relevant information as to why packet inspection had stopped.

  • Iphone 4s twice broken and still en guaranty. This time battery problem

    I have a 4s iphone, that is still in guaraty, i don`t have guaranty in Argentina, but i boght it in EEUU. The guranty expires the 17 nov. and i have no way to send it to eeuu for repair. I don`t know what to do.
    I`m so so so sorry to dump a phone that is still in guaranty
    Hope someone can help me.

    That happened suddenly or after putting the new operating system (ios7). Because ios7 greatly increases the battery consumption and you need to adjust some settings to work properly. Anyway changing the battery is easy task, and there are some apple resellers in Argentina can do it for a price. The warranty is useless if you cant go in person to USA. Suerte.

  • Time out problem in BPS

    BPS friends,
    We have a planning function to copy Versions based with some filters. The copy function takes 5 hours and times out after that. The function is reaching max buffer size as recommended by SAP so we cant increase the buffer size anymore.
    We are on BW-BPS 3.5.
    How can I solve this time out problem? Please respond to me.

    Hi Pat,
    How many record did you copy ??
    Could you restrict the copy in not 1 package ??
    Package per package ...
    I suggest you ..
    e.g. you have restriction by a 0CALMONTH / something ..
    Then,
    You can copy e.g. for January to March, then March to August, etc.
    You can automate it by planning sequence.
    Hopefully it can help you a lot.
    Regards,
    Niel.
    thanks for the points you choose to assign.

  • Time sync

    I have a simple Win2003 domain that is having time sync problems.  It has a single Win2003r2 DC, a Win2003 IIS server, a Win2008r2 RDP server, and about 25 Win8.1 PCs.  The 2 app servers do not seem to be getting their time info from the DC.
    And when I had WinXP PCs on the domain, several of them did not sync with the DC either.  I thought this was builtin behavior for a Windows domain, to get time info from the DC.  Now I am not sure how to get all of the sync-ing back in order.  Any
    help would be great.  Thanks.

    First of all, can you verify that the 2 app servers as well as all PC's are members of the domain hosted on the DC?

  • I can't post to forums! - Except this time, obvioulsy

    I cannot get the website forums to work properly anymore. I have tried on four different computers including one from a different location entirely. I also created an entirely different identity and it still doesn't work. If I go to log in, it logs me in and shows my personal info, allows changes to my password, whatever.  During the entire time I am in forums the top of the page says “Welcome, always frustrated” (that’s my user name). When I go to a forum question I posted a couple of weeks ago, I can view it, but I cannot reply and a "reply" option does not appear anywhere. It does say “logon/register” but that link takes you to a page that never loads. The same thing happens if I try to start a new discussion. This has gone on for a couple of weeks. After numerous trys, I thought I would try again this morning. Some how I got through this time. Can anyone help? (by the way, I may not be able to reply to this since I might not be able to post again).

    As you noted, the forums have a separate login link that is under the black Forums banner on the left side of the screen. Is that the link/page that never loads? That page is at adobe.com and is not within the forums. Have you tried clearing out cookies from adobe.com and forums.adobe.com? Clearing the browser cache? It isn’t a common error and I can’t see anything wrong from the forums side of things.
    Let us know if you do get back in to reply to this. If you cannot get in send a note to userforum at adobe dot com and I’ll send this off to the Adobe membership folks to see if they find any errors in your Adobe IDs. I do see both of your accounts and will send them info on both.
    Thanks!

    You formatted your computer's hard drive? If so, it's like starting with a new computer unless you restored all of your content from a backup but it does;t sound like that's the case.

  • Post install problem. Changes to the state or options of DB SUSDB can't be made at this time. DB Is in single-user mode.

    Hi,
    Have you ever come across this problem before.
    Changes to the state or options of DB SUSDB can't be made at this time. DB Is in single-user mode and a user is currently connected to it.
    It's preventing the post WSUS installation task from completing.
    I opted to use the WID Database option and it created the SUSDB.
    How can I resolve it?
    Thanks  

    this sounds similar to some issues that occurred when KB2720211 was first release (the update does put the DB into single-user mode, to perform some tasks, then switches it back into multi-user mode. sometimes, that switch-back was not performed, and the
    DB was left in single-user mode).
    You can refer to this thread, the steps are buried in there.

I can't disconnect at this time. Please help.I thought about using control. alt delete and stopping it. It says I will lose any unsaved data. The music appears to be in my library, so I should be safe, right? However even if that works and I can disconnect my ipod, why isn't it syncing? I have a 2nd one to sync as well. I am frustrated. Thank you!

    Thanks you for replying planb77! My husband got home and told me to just disconnect the ipod. It had been at least 12 hours by then, The music was in my library but not on my ipod, He had me shut down, unplug my computer, take a rest from it and restart. I reset my ipod following instructions on the itunes site. I tried syncing again and was successful syncing both ipods. I really think it was great of you to take the time to help someone else.

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

  • 10.4.11 issues also, PPC iMac this time

    I have a PPC iMac G5 (non-iSight) and have encountered problems similar to (it seems like) a heck of a lot of others on Intel machines. I was running 10.4.10 and tried Software Update to upgrade to 10.4.11. Before too much happened, I got an error saying there the update could not be installed, and from then on Safari stopped working (it would launch but without an active window; when I tried to open a window, it would crash).
    So I downloaded the combo update (PPC) and installed that. This time it installed more completely, but finished by saying there was an error. Upon relaunch, the machine would hang at the blue startup screen with the Apple logo, and status bar that went nowhere.
    I have an external Firewire with 10.3 on it, and have booted from that. I can't re-install the combo update because the installer says that it can't be installed on this machine.
    My issue is similar to others but I haven't found anyone in the discussions with exactly the same config and errors. So that's why I'm posting.
    Any help would be rewarded with heaps of good karma.

    I have the same problem (s) and using the same setup iMac G5 no iSight. I did not install the combo version after the error message. I went back to software update and noticed that there were no new updates. I checked system profilier and noticed that 10.4.11 was listed. Obviously something is wrong because Safari crashes frequently. Disk Utility will not launch so verified permissions using 10.4 install disk. Everything is dreadfully slow. Startup takes forever, apps open at a snails pace, some aps don't open at all. I switched to iCab browser and it works but Safari doesn't. 10.4.10 was working great on both computers. I installed Leopard on my PBG4 and it's been **** ever since. Now I have a bogus iMac G5 using 10.4.11. I'm not trusting Apple as much as I used to. AppleCare has not been helpful. Things have changed at Apple. Now that they are rich and powerful the care has gone from AppleCare.
    Not sure what to do next. Hate to have to go back to the beginning and rebuild but it may be the only way out of this mess. Any ideas appreciated!
