My ipod has been connected for over an hour, and it still says 'determining tracks to sync'. What should I do?

I have an iPod classic 30GB. I've just got a new laptop and i have transferred my itunes library from my old laptop to my new one. I've also updated my library substantially, and want to erase everything from my ipod and sync the new library onto it. However, it's been connected for an hour and is still saying 'determining tracks to sync'. Is this normal? How long should it take, if my new library is about 10.5GB large?

When you switched chargers, did you use the 10 watt chargers designed for the iPad?  Did you also change the connecting wires?  Have you tried power off, hold the sleep/power button until the red slider appears and slide to off.  Then plug the iPad in?
If none of that is working, it could be a bad 30-pin connector in the iPad...an Apple genius bar tech can test and see if that is the problem.

    Try resetting it while it is connected to power: Hold down the home and sleep button, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons. It is connected to a wall charger?

    Blinking orange will NEVER turn green. You'll have to UN mount it to see green.

  • How long does the newest update take? My Mac has been installing for over an hour. Don't know what to do?

    Installing the newest update for mavericks. Has been installing for over an hour. Don't know what to do. How long should it take?

    I went to Apple Chat and they lead me through a power down and start up with Recovery Disc Utility (Hold down  Apple and R keys when powering up).
    Then was instructed to run Disk Recovery and it showed HD was error free. Then a reboot started up fine to desktop and showed update to 10.9.2 had been installed. I am guessing the internet connection my have been interrupted during the install.
    Apple Chat folks are awesome and a short wait too.

  • After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours. Help!

    After upgrading to Lion, I went to open Mail and received the message that it needed to upgrade my Mail database - this may take a few minutes. The bar shows it is about 1/5 along and has been there for over 10 hours.
    I tried quitting and starting again but it just jumps back to the same spot.

    It is quite large, but I have tried two of the fixes suggested and things now seem to be moving along.
    (I was unable to seach properly before which is why I posted the question - it was a bit of a panic)

    Hopefully it's been resolved by now - I have no idea how large each one of those files are. The progress bar tells you; FWIW, I only download one at a time - makes it easier and faster and you can choose to do the next one when you have time.

    Shouldn't. Which update. Provide specifics on how and from where. If this is a new machine, it should already be running 10.8.4, ainxw that shipped one and a half months ago.

  • I have an IMAC and purchased OS X Lion to upgrade from the APP store, and launched the software for downloading, and I have been waiting on this for an hour, and it still says it's downloading? What do I do next?

    I have an IMAC and purchased OS X Lion to upgrade from the APP store, and launched the software for downloading, and I have been waiting on this for an hour, and it still says it's downloading? What do I do next?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The OS X Lion installer takes more than 4 GB of space, so it is normal for most Internet connections to take the download more than an hour.
    If you want to see the download progress, open the Mac App Store and go to Purchases.
    Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • Connecting to the update has been connecting for more than 6 hourand is still trying to connect when will it finish downloading the suggested update?s, why? This update has slowed me down way too much.

    A window opened when I started that said " We strongly suggest that you update......" I did not want to but each time I turned my computer on the same window pops up with the "strongly suggest" and my computer began to run slower and stop lot. So I finally pressed the bar for more information..But never got any. My computer continued to keep "stop script" and run slow. So after several days of this I clicked on "Next" to download the update and it has been" Connecting to the update server" for over 6 hours now and still running little green boxes in a frame over and over and over. Why is this happening?

    My huge annoyance is how Preview converts ai, .eps and .ps files to .pdf files.
    It has progressively deteriorated from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard.
    In Leopard it defaulted to saving the .pdfs to the Documents folder not the place of origin and would regularly crash if more than a few (sometimes just 2) files were opened simultaneously.
    In Snow Leopard nothing was fixed and now the names are stripped off the converted files so that they are all called Untitled.
    Apple must have received hundreds of bug reports (I diligently sent one every time Preview crashed) and several feedbacks detailing the problem, to the point I believe persecuting Designers and ruining their work has become a NEXT programmers secret objective.
    Except for a couple of minor bug fixes to do with drag & drop in Preview, I am puzzled where the so-called improvements in Snow Leopard really benefit user.

  • I have an old ipod that i have not used in a very long time, ive had it on a charger now for over an hour and i still cnnot get my ipod to turn on, how can i fix my problem, i just downloaded the new version of itunes aswell, so i know its not my itunes.

    i have an old ipod touch that i have not used in a very long time, and im having trouble gettign it to turn on. ive had it on a charger for over an hour now and still nothing hs changed. i just updated my itunes to the current version they haev so i know its not an itunes problem its rather a problem with the old ipod touch itself. im leaving for deployment soon and im trying to get this fixed without having to send it in. If anyone has any ideas on how to get this thing turned on it would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, two thoughts.
    The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
    The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
    The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

  • HT4060 My ipad has been charging most of the morning but its still saying low power...what does that mean?

    I've been charging my ipad most of the morning but its still saying low power...what does that mean?

    iPad Charging
    "The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
    iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
    When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

    Hey Everybody,
    I've been reading several threads and came across this one;
    http://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity/FTTC-Exchange-and-Cabinet-BT-Wholesale/td-p/181321
    Unfortunately it appears that they've pulled this from public view so I can't access.
    Using the "Find Sold House Prices" tool on Rightmove to obtain House Numbers to Postcodes, i've been able to determine on the BT Infinity checker that some houses in my town can get Infinity.
    My exchange is MRMDW (Middlewich) http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/MRMDW
    FTTC status: Available in some areas
    I logged a call through the normal BT website before somebody contacted me and started talking about Cabinets, I had no idea what a cabinet was and thought he was just trying to fob me off with technical gumf.
    Since i've been reading, I want to try and determine where my Cabinet it, and when its likely to be "Fibre Enabled"
    Can somebody send me a copy of the list

    I have no idea how to read this 
    It looks like I have 2 cabinets for my postcode.
    All I want it Infinity...... can sombody advise when I am likely to get it or how I can quicken the process up ?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    There is no way you can speed up the process as it is Openreach that are responsible for the roll out of fibre
    BT retail like any other ISP only has the details of theactive cabinets
    The cabinets are the green boxes you see on many streets and you may often see Openreach engineers working on the fibre cabinet is placed close by the existing cabinet
    Unfortunatly not every cabinet is upgraded for fibre first time around and additional phases of new cabinets are constantly being added to the existing cabinets
    All you can do is wait until you see a new cabinet being installed in your area and keep using the infinity checker on the BT.com web site
