If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • TS1538 I have 6th gen iPod nano.  When I try to sync it my computer tells me it has malfunctioned and Windows does not  recognize it.  My iPhone syncs fine so the problem must be the iPod.  I have reset the iPod several times and no luck.  Any suggestions

    Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
    It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

    - You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
    - Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
    - Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
    iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
    - Save the file
    - Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me)

    Hi runner_girl7585,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If you weren't ever able to watch your rental movie, you can report this to the iTunes Store:

  • When I try to play flash games it uses the wrong gpu

    When I try to play flash games it uses my integrated Intel gpu not my dedicated Nvidia one. Other games use the correct gpu, however. Is there any way that I could possibly force flash to use the correct gpu? I can't change it through the Nvidia settings as it is apart of browsers and I can't change browser gpus.

    Unable to find ANY GPU settings in Firefox.
    I don't use IE or Chrome, so I can't say how to even check them.
    Nvidia forums have NOTHING on forcing a browser to use a specific GPU, and I know Flash has nothing in settings to do it.

  • IPod app crashes when I try to play a song

    But it will play if I select the song by album, artist or playlist first. But everytime I try to select an individual song from the song menu, it crashes and spits me back out to the home screen. It also crashes when I try to select the "more" menu from inside the iPod app.
    Just happened this morning. Was playing music fine last night. No new updates installed. I just turned off my iPhone and left it plugged in to my computer over night.
    Tried restarting the iPhone (power off and back on), tried resetting the iPhone (power and home screen for 10 secs), and tried force-quitting the iPod app and reopening but I still have the same issue.
    At my work computer, so I can't try resynching until I get home. Any other suggestions/fixes?

    More details:
    App also crashes when I try to select a genius playlist (though I never use this feature, so not sure if that's new). But I can create on-the-go playlists and play all songs off the iPhone that way if I wanted to.
    When I launch the iPod app, it shows the "songs" selection screen by default, even though at the bottom, the "albums" tab is selected.
    When I reclick "albums" it changes the screen to sort by album. If I had clicked the "songs" apon launching the iPod app, the screen wouldn't change, but the tab would now move over to highlight "songs".
    Hoping it's just a synch mixup but still searching for a solution...

  • ITunes Locks up when I try to play a video

    I have purchased a few TV shows from the iTMS. Historically they have worked fine. I rented a movie a couple of days ago. I went to watch it and iTunes locked up after playing about 2 seconds of audio.
    I have done the following trying to fix the problem but so far nothing has worked:
    1) I upgraded iTunes/Quicktime... as indeed there was an update available - Tried to play video again... it locked up... and had to terminate program.
    2) I deauthorized all computers... and the problem computer... and then reauthorized the problem computer - Tried to play video again... and it locked up the computer
    3) Playing all video content I've purchased/rented locks up iTunes.
    So, I'd like to get this fixed. I have "23 hours" left to watch the movie I rented... but I can't watch it.

    Did you get a suitable answer? I am having the exact same problem. I have been using iTunes for years and suddenly I began having this problem. I noticed it first with videos but it also happens with music. A movie will play for about 4-5 sec and then lock up. The spinning time thing comes on. If I wait long enough, it will finally go away and the movie will play, although often with jerks. I removed and reinstalled iTunes. That did not help. Then I removed everything from iTunes and built a new library. That did not help either. I can play any of these same files from Quicktime without a hitch. In fact, that is what I do now to play a movie. I use iTunes to find a movie, then use the Command-R to show it in the finder, then load it in Quicktime. So it is not the files or the hard drive. It is iTunes.

  • Windows media player crash dumps when i try to play songs or use most functions i.e. drag and drop,

    I've been trying to download music from Amazon to my MP3 player.  It successfully downloads to my computer, but when I try to do anything in Windows Media Player, I get the crash dump screen.  I have, somehow, been able to download some music to the player, but now almost every time the Windows Media Player crashes.  Help!

    Did you copy the songs directly from a CD or did you download the files from a website?
    You can use a different player than the Windows Media Player to play the songs if you copied them from a CD to avoid that.

  • HT4623 I do not have home computer and I neef to update my iPhone software and when I go into my settings I dont have the option to upgrade and I am not able to get any new apps because of the old software I have.. I do not have access to a computer, I ha

    I have a iPhone 4 with version 4.1 and I need to do a software update but I do not have a home computer to use my I tune account but I do have wifi on my iPhone but when I go into my settings it does not give me the option to do upgrade, please help me!

    You have to use a computer to get from iOS 4.1 to iOS 6,
    which is the current version. Any future updates from iOS 6
    will be done over the air using wireless. Use the computer of
    a friend, Apple store, or at work - if allowed. There is no way
    to do the update without a computer and iTunes.
