  • Windows Xp not detecting Ipod Need help

    When i plug my ipod in to my desktop my ipod starts charging but it doesnt detect my ipod.I have even tried to do that restore thing where you hold menu/center button then when the apple logo appears hold center button/play or pause.I really really need help with getting my computer to detect my ipod.

    Actually, the "vice-versa" part works, Macs can read and write Windows formatted iPods, but you can only manage music manually (syncing does not work until it it is restored for Mac). But back to the topic...
    And it seems like this is a situation where the iPod has been working and now it does not. Please correct me if this assumption is wrong.
    You have to eliminate the possible problems one by one, as many as possible. Starting at the computer... Note: These are separate things to try, not a single procedure.
    Power down and restart the computer, if you have not already.
    Try a different USB port.
    Try a different docking cable, if possible. The connectors can become worn. Only two pins handle the power, so it is very possible for it to charge yet not connect for data.
    The dock connector on the iPod may be worn out or have become faulty. Not much you can do about that, except have it replaced.
    The "thing where you hold menu/center button" is not a restore. It is a reset (think rebooting your PC). Make sure you do it again following these instructions precisely.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If this does not help, put the iPod into disk mode, and then connect it to the computer.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    If you manage to get iTunes to recognize the iPod, you may then want to do a restore (think reformatting your PC's hard drive and reinstalling Windows). This will erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then you can sync your iTunes library again.

  • HP iPod versus Apple iPod (please help my HP iPod is in ipod heaven :( )

    I have a 20G HP+iPod that i bought from cosco that i use with my apple computer. Everything has been working fine until one day when i turned it on and a "sad ipod" flashed up on the screen. When i turned it back on it worked as normal so i thought nothing of it. A little later while listening the ipod froze up so i resetted it. After reseting it a folder with an exclamation mark came up. A little later though it started working again and it worked for a couple of days. I was listening to my ipod in the car for a long time until the batteries ran out and when i plugged it back in the folder with the exclamation mark came up. So i went the apple.com/support and it said i have to restore it. Now this HP iPod would not restore. everytime i restored it it would say an error has occured. Finally i get the thing to restore and i plug it in to put in all my songs again. Unfortunatly my iPod freezes in the middle of uploading the songs so i gave up. Today i tried restoring it again. And updating it again. it froze again. I give up now so i am returning my iPod to cosco tommorow...
    Now here is my question. Is an HP iPod different than an Apple one. Because after returning my HP iPod to cosco i am thinking about going to buy a new Apple iPod but i am afraid that it might not be any different than the HP one. (and yes i am defienatly planning on buying the insurance for it). Please help! (good thing about cosco u get a full refund for anything)

    The HP has the same hardware as the apple one. The warranties and service offered by each company is where the differences lie.
    Since your iPod broke so early with those icons, it was probably a lemon and the HD was having issues.
    Since you have a mac though, get an apple iPod because HP doesn't support any connection issues between an HP iPod and a mac.

  • Apple ipods,please help?

    We have 2 apple ids and 2 apple ipods and they are syncing each other even though we have them on set manually.. They are supposed to have all different songs and content, but somehow the 2 ipods are merging into each other, and past purchases are coming back that are supposed to be deleted. We have icloud, is that helping screw it all up?

    They are not removable devices, they are "cameras" as far as Windows is concerned? 
    Are they detected as such?
    Have you tried different USB ports?
    What about different sync cables?
    Have you tried on a different computer?

  • Formatted iPod, need help

    So I got my dad's old iPod nano, 1st gen with 2 GB. I tried to plug it in with no luck. So I go into the iPod as a storage device in my computer, the iTunes folder is "corrupt and unreadable." I read somewhere I can format the iPod and it will be ok, I do so because I'm stupid. Now, it isn't even recognized as a storage device, it's just and unknown device with no drivers. To be clear, I right clicked the iPod in My Computer and went to format and formatted it, I need help getting it working again.

    Did you format it as FAT32 and not use quick format?
    After you do that, Restore it in iTunes.

  • Apple iPod 30GB Help, please

    Hi. I just got a new Apple iPod 30GB for Video and I am slightly confused. Now, I have been using an Apple iPod Mini 4GB on my computer lately (it's been acting up lately, that's why I have a new one), but now I want to use my new iPod Video. I'd like to know:
    How do I change that? How do I use my new Ipod Video instead of a Mini? I did install a new itunes upgrade. I tried looking for helpful hints, but none helped.
    Thanks.

  • 30G ipod need help

    I just bought my ipod yesterday, I plugged it into my computer but it was in another language and itunes didn't show it on my computer . I disconnected it and got it on English at last. Then I noticed it was saying "do not disconnected" when I disconnected it but I didn't know that until it was in English. After reinstalling itunes, it popped up a message that the ipod needed restored. I hit ok and it shows a green progress bar running on itunes and states "restoring ipod". My ipod states do not disconnect and nothing else. This process of restoring my ipod started about 10 hours ago with no further information just the same restoring ipod window. How long should this take? Should I just keep it going or should something have been changed by now. I'm brand new to the ipod so sorry for the long post.

    Ok itunes wouldn't let me eject so I had to go though my computer. After ejecting I restarted I tunes and plugged in my ipod. itunes is running fine but it doesn't show my ipod connected anywhere. My ipod is just flashing do not disconnect. What should I try now?

  • Itunes wont open/ file icon on ipod- NEED HELP ASAP!

    My itunes will not open at all on my comp. I downloaded the newest version, then nothing would open. I removed all versions and attempted to re-install again. Now, my ipod will not turn on. There is a file icon with an exclamation point. I dont know waht to do and I am leaving for a long trip in a few days and need my ipod! any help asap would be greatly appreciated!
    dell   Windows XP  

    OK-
    First, let's get your iTunes open.
    Click on Start, Click on Run
    Type msconfig
    Click on the startup tab (last one on the right)
    Click on "disable all"
    Click apply, then click close
    Go ahead and restart your computer when prompted to do so
    When your computer starts back up, you should be able to open up your iTunes. When it opens, close it again. Now that we know it is able to open, it needs to be closed in order to resolve the file folder with exclamation point error.
    Now, let's get that file folder issue resolved.
    Click start, click all programs, click iPod, click iPod updater, click iPod updater (again)
    Click OK when you see the dialogue that tells you what the application's capabilities are
    Connect your iPod when it tells you to
    Click on the "restore" button when it becomes available
    IF the restore button does not become available, and if the iPod updater fails to recognize the iPod, disconnect it. Reset the iPod by (making sure the hold switch is off) pressing the menu button and the select button at the same time for about 10 seconds, until you get the Apple logo. As soon as you get the Apple logo, hold down the select button and the play/pause button together until you get a check mark on the screen. You may have to try this several times to get it to work... and sometimes it helps to lay the iPod down on a hard flat surface, like a table or your computer desk.
    Once you get the iPod into disk mode, you can go ahead and try to restore it again. (Start > All Programs > iPod > iPod Updater > iPod Udpater) Click OK, Connect your iPod when it asks you to do so, and then click the restore button when it becomes available.
    If you're still having issues, try reading through some of the following articles:

  • HELP MY IPOD NEED HELP

    when i turn on my ipod on the coution sign and the sad ipod logo comes up .i try downloading the new updates but when i plug it in to my computer the low bat.sign comes up and dont move i trying resetting ipod but nothing changes could some one help me

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“Partition Magic”.
    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”
    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning ! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery replacement (with pictures)
    http://www.kokopellimusic.us/KM_instructions.htm
    Have I tried this myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.
    2. Do a search on Google and some topics on this discussion forum about “Sad iPod”

  • ITunes and Quicktime Error after automatice Apple update, need help!!!

    So I currently have a new labtop with windows vista. I have been runining iTunes for the pass 3 months already no problems. The Apple automatic update has never caused any problems till now. Quicktime needed to be updated today, and I accecpted the update, prior to that iTunes and Quicktime was working properly. Once the quicktime update was complete, it restarted my computer like usual. Then when I tried to open iTunes this error came up:
    "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
    Now I checked the audio configuration and nothing was changed or anything, that has not been touched at all, so I still think it had to do with the update. The next error was came up when I tried to open Quicktime and it read:

    Program C://ProgramFiles/QuickTime/QuickTimePlayer.exe
    This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information"
    So as long as I have been using Quicktime and iTunes I have never encountered this, I tried to re-install but the error kept coming up after it was installed. Please help me out!

    So am going to contact apple store to get my Ipod 8gb touch screen fixed but i was wondering how do i get all my photos back from my ipod i really don't care about my music but my pictures are the most important is there anyway i can have them transfered to my new ipod
    Thank you again.

    No. Apple exchanges your iPod for a refurbished iPod.  Apple says:
    Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
    No. You will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data, songs, or after-market personalizations. Before you submit your iPod for service, it is your responsibility to keep a separate backup copy of the data stored on your iPod and reinstall that data.
    Attention iPod touch customers: Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPod touch and does not offer any data transfer service.
    Following service your replacement iPod touch may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need to restore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check iTunes to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

  • Apple Dummy needs Help...please

    Hi
    Just got a new computer with a large enough HD to finally sync my ATV. Up until now syncing has been turned off. I have all my daughters movies on the apple TV and now I finally want to sync them to my new computer. On my old computer when itunes is running, the apple TV shows up on the device list.
    I can't get it to show up on the new computer. I have transferred all music to my new computer and authorized everything. So at least that is working. I just can't seem to be able to see the ATV. I did try searching the forum and help to find answers, but to no avail.
    I thought I would remove the ATV from the itunes on my old computer, but if I try to do that, it warns me that all my ATV content will be lost. Not sure what to do...
    Thanks for your help

    I think in the majority of cases peoples storage abilities for iTunes far exceed 40 Gb and in such cases freeing up space on the Apple TV is a necessity. I can see why it's an issue when it's the other way around.
    I can see how that would be the case for some, if not the majority. I guess my issue is that I press a button that says "Sync" and it ends up deleting, and not syncronizing. Oh well no need to keep hammering on that. It is what it is and I learned something.
    And, no triangles...(I do know what you're talking about though cause I got some error messages with a couple of songs)
    I have emailed support and am waiting for a real answer. They sent me their basic form email telling me to do all the dummy things, that didn't apply.
    I will post back to this thread when it gets resolved, so maybe it can help someone else in the future.
