MacBook Does Not Recognize or Sync iPod Classic (80GB)!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
Hello, there.
Sorry if there is a topic like this already - I could not find it.
I last charged my iPod about a week ago, and I went to my Macbook this morning to sync and charge my classic 80GB iPod.
However, when I plugged the charger in, my computer did not recognize the iPod. Nothing showed up.
I went into iTunes - the iPod icon did not show up.
Also, when I unplugged the iPod from the charger, my iPod did not change - it still says that it is on hold, and I cannot take it off hold, and I cannot turn it off.
Therefore, my iPod is frozen!! It says that it is on hold, and that it is on and paused on a song. I cannot take it off hold, and I cannot turn it off!!
Please help!!
Please please please!!
Thank you.
I FIXED IT MYSELF.
I simply let the iPod run out of battery.
Then it said CONNECT TO POWER.
And then I did.
And after 15 minutes, it worked!
Self-solved problem!

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.
Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

i am using firefox 3.6.17 i upgraded it to 4.1.but it does not work properly sometimes it opens every website and most of the time it does not work . so what is the problem please help . thank you
Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

MacBook does not recognize Treo 650 Bluetooth DUN!
Hey gang-
We got our new MacBook today. For some reason, it does not recognize the Bluetooth Dialup Networking (DUN) capability of my Palm Treo 650. I have no problem creating the trusted pair, and the MacBook and Treo discover each other no problem. But when I finish setting up the trusted pair, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant reports "There were no supported services found on your device"
Now here's why I'm worried- In the exact same setup, my 1-year old iBook G4 recognizes and offers the choice of Bluetooth Dialup Networking from my Treo! Something is definitely different in Bluetooth support in the MacBook.
Any got a MacBook to recognize Treo 650 DUN?
Thanks!
DaveI am having the same problem with both a brand-new Macbook and intel iMac. After going through setup identically to several other Macs around, I only get "There were no supported services found on your device." Bluetooth syncing works fine, but neither of the Intel machines will find the DUN. Powerbook G4 12in and iBook G4 12in both work fine with identical setup procedures. There is definitely something buggy here.

New MacBook does not recognize bluetooth mouse
I just migrated to a new MacBook, running (OS10.6.8) and it will not recognize my Logitech Bluetooth laser mouse. The mouse works just fine with my old MacBook. I downloaded control center, but that also does not recognize the mouse. Any help would be appreciated.
"browse device" showed the mouse, but said it was not connected. I started the setup assistant, but it did not seem to see the mouse. But I noticed a tiny button on the bottom of the mouse labelled "connect" and pushing that while running setup assistant seems to have done the trick. Now I hope it "sticks".
Thanks to IAmMe123 for pointing me down the right path. -
New Macbook does not recognize Time Capsule backup from old macbook
I just purchased a late 2013 13" macbook pro. I have a mid 2009 macbook pro running Mavericks. The new macbook will not recognize the time capsule backup from my old macbook. I am trying to migrate all data over, but the new mac does not ever acknowledge the external drive that contains the backup. I've tried two different external drives with the same result each time. Both computers are running Mavericks.
Do you see the drive in Disk Utility?
If yes, run Repair Permissions then restart the drive.
1. Open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions
3. Click on the icon for your boot volume.
4. Click the repair permissions button.
In System Preferences > Time Machine can you select the old Time Machine with Select Disk? -
Macbook does not recognize external USB drive - except when booting with CD
Hi all,
I recently swapped my Macbook's internal HD (Toshiba 100gb 5400 rpm) into an external USB enclosure (Eagle Consus). The computer does not recognize the external HD, even when using two USB cables for extra power. No luck with safe mode or resetting PRAM. Disk utility just hangs with spinning wheel if I start it. Switching the USB ports does not help.
I thought it might be a power problem until I noted the following:
1)The external drive works fine if I boot the Macbook from the Mac OS install CD... with this I can run disk utility and scan the drive with no problem
2)It works fine on an old Mac Mini with only ONE of the USB connectors plugged in
3)The enclosure worked fine on the Macbook when I had the new drive in it (320 GB 7200 RPM) while copying the files over
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
--TIt is actually using a power supply, yet it will not actually power on unless it is connected to a computer's USB port. At least this is how it works on my old desktop running Windows 2000. When you disconnect the drive from Windows, or put the machine in hibernate mode, the device actually shuts down. It powers back up once the machine wakes up from hibernate mode.
It's a somewhat older device which predates the Macbook Pro, but it claims to support older Mac, such as the G3, G4, G5, iMac, iBook. OSX 10.0.4. So perhaps it's just too old?
It's a Buffalo HD-HB250U2 (250 GB).

Most recent version of iTunes does not recognize my video iPod, what to do?
I have a video iPod that I got last year and had it synced to my Windows XP on my desktop and I had recently synced it with my Macbook and had no problems with videos, pictures, movies, etc. I got a new iPod nano red and went to put music in it, but I had to download the latest version of iTunes. Just a few days ago I was able to still use both iPods on my MacBook. I just tried to put new videos on my video iPod and I get an error message saying: "the video was not copied, because this device does not support this file." I tried to authorize this computer, that didn't work. I tried converting the selected video, but I get an error(-50). I don't know what to do, any ideas? I appreciate anyone's help. THANKS!
Kevin .... I'm with you. I have the same problem. iTunes 9.0 / Windows 7 ... how we actually talk to someone at Apple to get a fix? I got a brand new $800 windows cpu ... that is a brick when it comes to iTunes. If anybody can help us, please let us know.
