My Brother's iPod Nano Is Having All Sorts Of Problems. HELP!!
Hi. I'm new here and I recently handed down my 1st Generation iPod Nano to my brother and I bought a new one.
Now he is having issues with it that I never ran into when I owned it. He can't drag and drop the songs onto the iPod, it randomly disconnects when he has it plugged in, and then it randomly gets recognized by the computer again and starts auto-updating all the time.
It also says something about the proper software to update iTunes is missing, and that iTunes needs to be re-installed.
We've tried reinstalling, and we still run into the same problems as previously mentioned.
I'm wondering if it has something to do partially with the sync options and software versions, and also with my brother's PC being pretty broken down.
Help PLEASE.
On my computer it doesn't randomly disconnect like it does on his, but it still wouldn't let me drag and drop AAC files onto my iPod towards the end of me using it, and it used to let me easily drag and drop.

I have a Nokia 6111 and am encountering all kinds of problems trying to hook it up to my PC.
My partner has a 6230 and already has PCSuite 6.1 loaded on the PC. He has a DKU-2 cable.
I have CA-53 cable and first problem appears to be the PC not allowing me to load drivers for it. I just get the error message "Previous installation failed to uninstall" half way through the set up process, then I am booted out.
New phone came with PC Suite 6.6. This also will not load due to unsuccessful uninstallation of previous version. I have tried to uninstall via Control Panel but it won't have it. It just won't come off.
Questions:
1. How can I get PC Suite off my PC to get new version on? 2. Do you think old version is corrupt?
3. Is it actually a bit stupid to be attempting to connect 2 different phones to the software (not at the same time!)
I hope you can help - I am tearing my hair out!
Thanks

(I am running Windows XP SP2)Hi Vikki!
I'm glad you're able to move things along yourself and therefore answer your own questions! Shows that you're putting in the effort! :-)
With regards to uninstalling the DKU-2 drivers, I've detailed how you can do this in another post although as the post says, be very careful when following the instructions... link is as follows:
http://discussions.nokia.co.uk/discussions/board/message?board.id=pcsuite&message.id=1863
Once you've got the old DKU-2 drivers removed, try reinstalling PC Suite 6.7 and it should work ok.
Just to clarify an earlier point as well, the PC Suite should connect ok to multiple phones... even at the same time!!
Hope this helps. -
New 80GB Video Ipod having all sorts of problems!!!
I just got the 80GB for christmas and I have had nothing but problems. I actually haven't gotten it to play continuously without freezing:
-It freezes often and I have to let the battery completely die and recharge it in order for it to respond.
-I fully charge the battery and then when I turn it on it says that the battery is really low.
-Sometimes my computer recognizes it and sometimes it doesn't?
Last night i charged it for over four hours. When I went to turn it on today, it turned on and then immediately froze on the main menu. I managed to reset it but the battery is at only 50% after fully charging it last night and not using it?
Did I get a lemon or is everyone else having these problems? Having a brand new ipod freeze on an 8 hour plane flight is a real drag.
Thanks,
Dezmond
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)As far as freezing up....have you tried restoring your iPod to resolve this issue? Where is your music from.....CD? iTunes Music Store?
Do note that if your computer is set to go to to sleep then it will not pass a charge to your iPod. Although you think it is charging all night long, really it's not. So check System Preferences > Energy Saver for your sleep settings and turn sleep off.
A good tip about charging. When you are done charging and disconnect the iPod from the power source you should reset it..Hold the Menu+Select button for about 5-10 seconds and it will restart. Upon restart the iPod goes thru certain checks with one of those being to update the battery icon. Sometimes you just aren't really seeing the proper battery status. So just reset it next time and see what it shows then. -

Receive error message, "The iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found. This is a iPod nano 6th Gen, all updates on iTunes and iPod, Macbook Pro OS 10.6.7. This is getting frustrating. I have changed USB ports, cables, reset, restored and was able to sync one time in parts, not all songs at once. I have seen a lot of this same issue, will Apple please find a solution, nothing works, I think I wasted my money with this iPod. I have the iPod touch, iPod shuffle, 4th gen iPod nano, iPhone and iPad. This is the only device that has this issue.
I was actually able to investigate and solve the problem myself. After readng many posts, I found that someone else's tips worked for me:

Try running a disk check out the iPod using the tools provided by windows.
To do this:
1. Plug in your iPod and close iTunes.
2. Go to "My Computer". Click on the iPod drive once. Go to File, and then click Properties.
3. Go to the Tools tab. Under "Error Checking", click Check Now.
4. Check both boxes. One says "Automatically fix file system errors" and the other says "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Place a check mark next to each of these options and hit Start.
The scan may take several minutes or more to complete, but once it has, go ahead and restart iTunes, and try re-syncing files to your iPod.

My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving only the 9 songs I last purchased. When I try to sync, I get a message, "cannot be synced because the iPod cannot be found."
When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details. -

I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, 3. View preferences in windows don't hold, etc. Anybody at Apple listening? Anybody else out there having these kinds of problems?
10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
* and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
Shame on you Apple.

Help!! All sorts of problems with my BlackBerry
Hi everyone,
I need some help..or lots of it really! I've had my Sprint 8830 for about a year and a half to two years. Recently I've been having all sorts of issues. My call log/texts disappear which I assume is related to memory..but I have deleted many things to free up the memory on my phone. I'm also not receiving texts. People are constantly telling me they send me tons of texts and I never receive any of them! I tried sending one to my phone from another phone and it didn't go through the first 4 times, but the one time it did, my phone beeped and as I went to read the message it just disappeared! Also, my phone isn't ringing and is going straight into voicemail..only notifying me of a new message--not a missed call. I've been in my house when these things have happened so I know it's not a service area problem.
I took my phone into Sprint 3 days ago, they said they installed a bunch of updates but I'm still having problems. Help! Is it just time for a new phone?
Thanks for any help you can offer!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.The normal minimum memory limit is considered 15mb, you have 6mb.
Do you have a lot of third party applications on your BB weather, icall,bbalerts etc?
I do not know your experience level, so if you know this I'm sorry but please read and let me
know if this applies.
Most people close the applications by pressing the escape or red key. This does not close the applications.
Each application has a CLOSE option. For instance if you are in the calendar hit the menu key (spotted key) and scroll down to the bottom CLOSE is listed. Go through each application and press close. Go into the browser press menu and options select cache operations clear all categories and hit escape it will say cleaning memory. If your device has:
Go to options - security - memory cleaning - enable it. The BB will now clean memory when idle for 5 minutes.
you will have an icon on you screen for memory cleaning make sure you press it. Make sure you use the CLOSE button each time you are done with an application.
To address the immediate needs, please read and follow the steps in JSANDERS ARTICLE :

Once you have stabilized your phone, use JOHN CLARKS memory optimizer guide:

If you apply these two guides and follow the steps, your Blackberry will run much smoother and dependably

Hard drive replacement, now all sorts of problems
A couple weeks ago my hard drive crashed. I confirmed at the Apple store that it was the hard drive, and they gave me instructions on how to put a new one in.
Since I've put the new one in I've had all sorts of problems.
1. My previously totally fine battery doesn't show up at all. Though the battery says it's fully charged, the laptop says that no battery is available.
2. DVDs don't play. The DVD player gets rolling, and then freezes.
3. Photobooth doesn't load "because the camera is in use by another application".
4. My external sound input/output can't be recognized or set up though the driver (also because the IOdirect is "in use").
5. The computer won't completely shut down sometimes and freezes on the blue screen just prior to complete shut down.
I've wiped the hard drive and started over to the same results.
Please, any help?Have you fixed you problem yet?
1. Have you checked to make sure that the drive is plugged in properly and setting on the proper mounts that were on the old drive?
2. How did you go about putting the OS OSX on the newly installed drive? Ex. Did you install OSX and all you applications then then restored you personal data from a backup? Did you use Time Machine to restore OSX and all data to the new drive? Or did you use a previously cloned drive, along with a program such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Clone, to restore to the new drive? -
I just upgraded to iTunes 12 and had all sorts of problems. After several restores I seem to be able to sync my iPad with iTunes BUT I can't delete anything off my iPad from iTunes. Any ideas on what to do?
-Me again - it also won't upload the few new pictures I have on the computer onto the iPad without deleting all the photos that are already there....

IPOD Nano is Freezing all the time.. -- Please Help
Hello everyone. I have an iPOD Nano 4GB and everything was working excellent until these past two days, it freezes repeatedly. I would restart my iPOD Nano and when it goes to the menu, the Light is still on and I cannot move my click wheel to navigate at all. It just freezes on "Music" category on the iPOD Nano. I would restart it over and over and over and if I am lucky, it will work but then it will freeze. I have tried it plugging it on various USB ports with a Windows PC and my Powerbook and yet nothing.
Please, if anyone has a solution to this, it'll be greatly appreciated.My iPod nano just locked up and I nad no idea what to do. Holding down buttons wouldn’t turn it off. Toggling the hold switch didn’t do anything either. It was in a stuck state where hold was turned on and none of the buttons would respond. Here’s the fix…
Toggle hold on.
Toggle hold off.
Hold down the menu and middle button for a few seconds.
The iPod nano should then “reboot” and voila!
Update: Both times my iPod nano has frozen up it was when I had hold turned on and plugged it into the USB cable.
