Major Ipod Trouble, Please Help

Lately I've been going through a lot of frustration with my ipod. I just recently bought an imac intel core duo and through data DVDs and ipod access, managed to get all of my music, which had previously been scattered between two PCs and an ipod, in one place. In order to get it onto my ipod I had to restore the ipod and then synch it with my new computer's itunes, which was successful. Everything was going smoothly until recently it started freezing inexplicably. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason other than that it seems to freeze a few seconds into a song and that it's just about always happened in my car when it's plugged into my FM modulator. Every time it's happened, the music disappears when I restart it, and doesn't reappear until I've restarted it several more times. I thought perhaps that restoring the ipod didn't fully update the software and created problems after it had been synched. But just recently when I plugged it into my computer, itunes said that it couldn't be read and that I should restore it to it's factory settings, which I had just recently done, and then when I ran ipod updater on it without itunes, it said that my ipod was up to date. I would just restore it or buy a new one but I just did restore it and this ipod is only a few months old and was sent to me as a replacement when my old ipod broke. Any insight would be appreciated

im sorry i cant seem to start a new topic PLEASE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP

IPod Trouble - Please Help

I NEED DESPERATE HELP!!!!
I have a first generation iPod Shuffle, which seems to be having heaps of problems. The first thing that went wrong with it is that when I connected it to the computer, at first it would appear in the source (I think that is what its called, down the left hand side of iTunes along with library and everything) but when I clicked on it, it would disappear and say that it was not connected. This meant that I could not put any new songs on my iPod.
Now, not only can I not put any new songs on my iPod, but it wont play the old ones. Instead of playing songs, the light above the controller will continue to flash green and orange.
i have tried every website mentioned in the users guide and have searched through this website a million times. My iPod is registered, I have iTunes version 7.0.2, and the software version on my iPod is 1.1.5, but the computer says my iPod is completely updated. I have tried to do something with the disk that came with my iPod, but I dont really know what I'm doing and I dont think anything happened. I dont know how to reinstall my iPod, and I have tried restarting my computer.
My iPod will not show up on My Computer, and sometimes it shows up on iTunes only to say I should try to restore it. Every time I try to do this, the computer says it cant due to error 1418. My iPod is nearly two years old but it has been well looked after.
I really have no idea what I am doing and dont know much about computers or iPods. Any help will be greatly appreciated, but you will probably have to tell me exactly what to do because I have no idea.
Thanks everyone.
luv beck

I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.

You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes. Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library. Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings. Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer. At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier. Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync".

Just a guess here, but it sounds like iTunes is under the impression that some of the song files it is managing are located on a removable drive. Do all of your songs play from iTunes? That might be hard to know if you have thousands of songs, but if a song was imported into iTunes, but the file was deleted afterward (like if you used removable media), you might get a warning like that, and the song wouldn't play in iTunes. Just a thought.

Major Issues with iPod Touch - Please help!

Hi, I am having major issues with my iPod, and nothing seems to be going right. It all started a few days after I got it for Christmas. I would wake up, and my iPod would be completely discharged even though it had a full battery and was turned off. I woke up one night and found that it came on all by myself. I sent it into iPod, and they sent it back saying nothing was wrong. Since I got it back today and within six hours, I have had four software crashes to the point where I have had to uninstall iTunes and restore factory settings four times. I am now on my fifth crash, but this time, the screen won't even come on. It keeps saying that it is in recovery mode. I simply went to turn it on! Does anyone have any suggestions? Personally, I think there is a short, and that I need a new a replacement. However, it doesn't seem like Apple is very supportive of the idea. I go through all of their steps over and over and over, and the same thing happens! What is going on? Please help.
Marie

sounds like, for the charging problem anyways, that you are just putting ipod into "Stand by" mode... press and hold the power key for about 10 seconds and an option to power off will actually come on.. if u just press it and let go, it just goes to stand by.. i have noticed stand by drains my battery
also, it doesn't sound like a short to me... the charging i am pretty sure is bc you are only putting it into standby however, the rest sounds like software.. did u try and restore using itunes or did you just reset the factory defaults?? Plug it into itunes and click restore under the ipod menu...

IPod Nano troubles, please help

I'll try to explain this problem to the best of my ability, this has been an ongoing problem since my sister got her iPod Nano:
Me and my sister both got iPods for Christmas, her a Nano and myself a Video, now this isn't about me, my iPod works with my computer (thankfully), but my sister's Nano does not work with her computer. The only reason she has music is because she hooked it up to mine and got my music (a process so annoying to me it's hard to explain, and no, before it is suggested I am not going to add her music to my computer, add it to my library, hook up her Nano, give her her music, and then undo that whole process afterwards. Also I am going off to college next year and won't be able to do that all the time).
Anyway, so the problem appears to be that Windows does not recognize her Nano. I follow the instructions exactly like I did to use my iPod, I install the newest software (iPod updater and iTunes) and then put music into iTunes and then plug in her Nano, and I get a very strange noise. If you can imagine the two noises commonly heard, two beeps, one low and one high when you plug in a piece of hardware, and one high and one low when you unplug it, think of this noise as three, very quick low beeps. I do not know what this noise means, but it appears to mean "we know you plugged something in, but we don't know what the heck to do." iTunes at this point does not automatically update the iPod, and when I go into iPod Updater, the message is "plug in an iPod to begin" (although one is plugged in).
Originally I thought the problem was with her USB drives, although they are USB 2.0 as recommended. I called an Apple service representative (actually a few, only one giving me anything close to a reason for the problem), and upon checking the Device Manager the representative told me that "VIA" USB controllers are not compatible with the Nano. I did not find this likely, but I accepted it as the reason and she has since gone without an updated music selection in her Nano.
Recently my sister purchased a PCI USB card to put into her computer, which I installed (with difficulty, hard to find the drivers). We again tried to use the Nano with no luck. These new USB controllers are "NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controllers" also 2.0, according to the packaging.
I have since reinstalled iTunes and iPod Updater to their most recent versions and reinstalled the USB ports twice, with no better results. Currently I am at the Device Manager and it shows it "recognizes" the iPod, under "Other Devices" (which has a yellow question mark as the icon) and the iPod tab itself also has a yellow question mark as the icon, but this yellow question mark has a smaller yellow circle with an exclamation point ("!") inside it. I attempted to use the "Add New Hardware" wizard to "install" the iPod, but at the point where it looks for drivers it says it can't find any.
Please help, I would be greatly appreciative of any information concerning:
-My sister's USB ports and if they are the problem
-What the "three beeps" noise means when I plug in the Nano
-Where I can find "drivers" (if they exist) for the Nano so the computer recognizes it
-Any other ideas/suggestions that could be of help
Thanks in advance! I hope someone else out there can answer my problem!

hiya!

Trouble with Videos on my iPod. Please Help?

Hello,
I am hoping someone out there can help me. I have what I thought was simply called an iPod Video, but I guess it now refereed to as a fifth generation iPod. When I first got it, I was excited to be able to watch videos on my iPod. When I tried to put videos on it, it told me my OS X was out of date. I had to buy OS X Tiger in order to put videos on it. That worked and I was happy. Now to advance my story to the present. I can no longer watch my videos on my iPod or even on my iTunes. When I try to sync the videos to the iPod, I get this message:
“Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video (Video Title) were not copied to the iPod (iPod Name) because they cannot be played on this iPod.”
That message makes no sense because it is an iPod video and I have watched those videos on it before. I only have five videos and all but one was downloaded from the iTunes Store. And like I said earlier, they will not even play in my iTunes window either anymore.
Can someone Please Help Me?
My Mac: PowerMac G4
OS X: 10.4.10
iTunes: 7.4.2 (4)
iPod: 60gb 1.2.1

Hello,
Thank you for the reply. I had QuickTime 7.0.4 on my Mac and I just upgraded it to 7.2.0. That did the trick for allowing me to watch my videos on my computer through iTunes, but I still get the same annoying error message that will not allow me to put them on my iPod. What is really annoying is all these movies were on my iPod and then one day when I put in my iPod to sync my music, it took off the videos and gave me the above message.

Having major problems with iPod Shuffle, please help!!

Okay, I have a 2nd iPod shuffle and it just will not connect to my computer. I've used to adaptor that came with it and it worked once but I only added a couple of songs and I want to add more now but I can't! The light blinks orange 3-4 times and nothing happens on my PC. I borrowed my friends charger and absoloutly nothing happens with his. But I can still charge it because I have a USB wall charger which I can connect my charger to and it charges perfectly with that. So, naturally I thought there was something wrong with my PC/USB sockets. So, I tried it on my friends computer - same results as with mine. I can't use the reset utility though because I'm running Windows 7 on 64 bit and there's no download out there for that. Please help somebody - I really want to add more songs to my iPod, and this is becoming really frustrating. :/

Okay, so maybe I wasn't clear enough when I said nothing happens on my PC? Well, literally nothing at all happens on my PC, it doesn't show up in My Computer or iTunes.

Major Nano Problem - Please Help

I have a 1 GB iPod Nano that worked fine when I got it in May 2006. Now, however I have a major problem. I put my iPod on the computer to charge through USB and when it was finished I could not safely remove. Actually, the iPod was not recognized by my computer or iTunes at all and the screen keeps flashing the apple logo and will not turn off until the battery runs down.
Here is what I did to try and fix. Reset and restore. I also tried to put the iPod in disc mode. When I put in disc mode my computer recognizes the iPod and it is shown in iTunes but when I safely remove, the iPod remains in disc mode and I can't get out of disc mode unless I reset and then I am dealing with the flashing appe logo again.
Could someone please help!
Windows XP

I'm thinking that the nano is the cause of the problem and so i "think" tou showld send it back for the cost of it and buy a new 2 gig one.
