My ipod wont sync - tried everything - please help!

hi, my ipod classic isnt resyncing for some reason, any suggestions appreciated. my mac recognizes when my ipod is plugged in. itunes recognizes it. ipod charges fine when connected to ipod. when i click the sync ipod option, the bar says "syncing ipod" but nothing happens, it doesnt sync.
here is what i have done so far:
1. deleted songs, at first i thought i was at capacity, but im not
2. reset ipod using the hold/toggle steps on this forum
3. updated itunes software

It can either be a problem of the iTunes (corrupted music file(s) ) or a bad sector of the hard drive of your iPod.
For the latter you can try to do a format (not restore) for your iPod with your computer, make sure it is not a quick format.
In case it is the corrupted files causing the problem, you have to find a way to delete it

I have the same issue with my iPod nano Gen 3, but my husbands'--bought 1 week later--will sync just fine. Let me know if you get a resolution.

My wifi wont work anymore with the ios 7 update I have tried everything please help!!!

I updated to the ios7 it worked great for about a day and now my wifi will not turn back on! I have tried everything please help I do work from my phone and I need it to function properly ! I cant update for the newest ios7 because I dont have wifi!

As Apple has posted on their website since early June, only the 5th gen ipod touch can handle ios 7.
Do you have a 5th gen ipod touch?

i locked my Ipod 1st generation in zombie farm went to the toilet came back tried to unlock it but i cant screen was blank i have tried everything please help

If you have tried everything, then by definition, there is nothing else to try.
Perhaps if you explained what you tried someone can help.
If you have actually tried everything, then there is nothing anyone can do to help.
Did you try reset?

My Ipod Just wont charge!!!!! on anything I tried everything Please Help!!!!!!

Okay,so my ipod wont charge I tried charging it on my computer but nothing happens and when I hold the power and menu button the low batteyr sign comes on and I know the probelm is with the ipod not the usb port! and I have Ipod touch 4g 8 gb! please please help!!!!!!!!!!

First try another USB cable and charger, if it is still not charging I would take it to Apple for repair.

Error message withg sync, tried everything, nothing helped. Please help me.

Gets error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "Ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to". It will put on about 15-30 songs before displaying this message, and can fully sync but it takes forever because i have to press "ok" than "sync" every 15-30 songs. already tried to send it back for a warranty replacement but they said there is nothing wrong. i tried everything, restored, zeroed out ipod disk, reloaded itunes, and all over again about 10 times

Ran into the same error message while attempting to synch an iTunes purchased movie to my son's 5th Gen Video iPod from my G5 Tower (OSX 10.4.11). Here's what worked:
Restored his iPod to factory settings. Noticed that this included having the iPod enabled for disk use (this box was not checked previously -- when we were getting the error message). Reselected which playlists and videos to synch, applied the synch settings, then waited (with crossed fingers and a few prayers to boot!). It worked. No error messages.
Note: the iPod synch cable is plugged directly into one of the USB2 ports on the back of the G5 tower -- not into one on the 3rd party PCI expansion cards I installed to add more USB2 & Firewire ports (not sure if this is relevant, but it seems so based on your discussion thread here). Hope this helps.

IPOD not being seen in ITunes...I have tried everything - please help!!

Okay, so I have tried everything listed on Apple's website to get my IPOD to be recognized in ITUNES. When I plug my IPOD into the USB port, the "do not disconnect" screen pops up. Nothing happens in ITUNES. Windows Vista pops up and says "Do you want me to scan and fix the IPOD F: drive?" Either selection doesn't do anything. I have tried the 5 R's from apple. I have tried to download every update available etc. I have tried to even go in and update the driver. However Vista is telling me that I have the most up to date version of everything. When my IPOD isn't connected to the PC, everything seems normal - except for the fact that there is no music or anything on it. But all menus are available and accessbile. Can anyone suggest what to do here? I am at a loss. Please help!! Thanks.

Yes, I'm having the same problem. If I connect my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, the 'Do not disconnect' sign appears, the battery does not charge, and my iPod doesn't appear either in iTunes or on my desktop. Since it doesn't appear in either of these places, I have to ignore the 'do not disconnect' sign and disconnect anyway. If I then reset my iPod, quite iTunes and reconnect iPod to laptop, everything's fine - iTunes opens, and recognizes the iPod. I guess this isn't the end of the world, since I can simply avoid ever connecting my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, but is this normal?

Hey,
Last night my computer wouldnt sync my ipod.And i did all the steps listed but then i went and ran a dignostic test on my ipod. This can be done through opening Itunes and then in the help menu click on run diagnostic.. Then when it did that, it said my ipod wouldnt connect properly and then i clicked on the show help. It took me to this page (link provided below)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
Then i clicked on the first option which is 'Restart the ipod service' After doin that my ipod has been working fine ever since. Thought you might like to try it if you havent already sorted out the problem.

ITunes will not install - have tried EVERYTHING - please help

I recently (yesterday) bought an iPod and yesterday installed the iPod and iTunes software on my computer, with absolutely no problems. Then today, when I tried to get onto the Music Store, I could not access it. (error -3212 was the number, I think...it's been a very long night). After searching a number of forums, I attempted to download the newer versions of iTunes and Quicktime; at the end of this attempted installation, I got the Microsoft message that iTunes "has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."
Now, several hours later, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software (with my antivirus software disabled), gone through two system restores (have gone back two days), done the Windows Installer cleanup thing, everything that I have read to do. I went into msconfig and the Quicktime doesn't even show up there. No luck, no luck at all...
My iPod is of absolutely no use to me without the iTunes. I have installed iTunes on a number of computers and have never encountered this problem. Please help!!
Sincerely,

Hello
I just bought an Ipod as what tryingto get itunes to load for 5 hours last Friday night and another 4 hours on Saturday til my head exploaded
I then installed an older version of itunes and it worked but the new version didn't
In the end I re-installed XP home as a "repair" not clean install so that I wouldn't loose any work on my PC and within 40 minutes or so whatever was missing from my PC was installed and itunes 6 went on with no problem
My advise is don't go round the houses like I did, just "repair" your XP installation and it's done
Well, it did for me at least
Hope this helps

I did a reset on my iphone 4 now it's stuck on the connect to itunes screen.. I've tried EVERYTHING. please HELP!!!

I did a reset on my iphone 4.. now it's stuck on the connect to itunes screen.. I have tried EVERY troubleshooting thing on the apple site. I've reinstalled to a later date of itunes. I've rebooted.. please HELP!! iTunes stopped recognising my iPhone after I undated hence the reverte back to an older iTunes version. My phone's cord is fine it will charge in the wall on the dock as well iTunes just isn't recognising it?!?!

iTunes will also NOT recognize my iPod Touch.. I've reinstalled iTunes several times on all THREE of my computers to the same result.. I'm going insane.. The newest iTunes has made it a real hassle!! Before I updated my iTunes both connected just FINE!! Now neither my computers (3 of them) or iTunes will recognize the iphone4, or the iPod Touch. The threads that people are posting to go back to the SAME 6 troubleshooting steps aren't really helping. ANYONE else had the same problem but was able to resolve?? A little desperate here!! HELP!!

B210 printer no longer scans or copies I have tried everything please help!

I do not copy or scan very often but today I tried to scan important documents and I no longer have the scanning or copying capability. I can print perfectly from the computer. I have tried everything (I believe) including reinstalling the software. Can anyone please help. I have important documents that needed to go out tonight. Time is money. Thanks in advance.

Hi msiayoyo,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are not able to scan or copy with your HP Photosmart B210a, you can print with no problems. Are you getting any error messages on the front panel when you attempt the copy or scan?
I know you have completed some troubleshooting already but I would like you to continue here: A 'Scanner Failure' Message Displays on the All-in-One Control Panel and You Cannot Scan, Copy, or F...
A few tips:
1. Try another wall outlet then the one you normally use, for testing purposes.
2. Make sure you have no power bars or surge protectors as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time, plug the printer directly into the outlet.
3. Try to make a copy from the front panel, what happens?
If you are still not able to make a copy after ALL the troubleshooting has been done, it is more than likely the printer hardware. I would then suggest calling our technical support at 800-474-6836.

IMac - LAGS, especially in Safari! Tried everything please help!

Hey everyone!
I have a desktop iMac and in the last few months it has slowed WAY down and its doing my head in!
I bought it 2 and a half years ago and never had these problems with it. It has 4gb of RAM, 500 gb hard drive and i updated to Lion, which is possibly when it started going wrong!
ISSUES:
-Safari majorly lags, especially with YouTube and other online videos, usually gets to about 30 second in then the video stops and lags so badly it freezes the entire machine, i have to force quit Safari!
-simple things such as searching for a file with spotlight has become such a drag. i type in for example 'work invoice' and it takes roughly about 20 seconds so show anything, it used to show it in about 0.000001 seconds lol!
-pretty much everything is much slower now but the main issue is definitely Safari!
WHAT IVE TRIED:
-ive taken it to my local apple repair shop and they found NOTHING wrong, nothing at all, they had the thing for 3 days and found nothing! they ran so many tests and nothing was wrong with the machines hardware, which is annoying i was hoping it would find something!
-ive repaired all the permissions, reset safari several times, transferred about 200gb worth of stuff to external and still no luck
-removed several start up programs and background programs, still nothing, emptied the cache folder like advised by apple over the phone, NOTHING
Im literally stumped i cannot think of anything else that i can do so im hoping all you Apple experts out there have a simple fix for me because its driving me nuts lol!
PLEASE HELP ME, i love my Mac and i want it back to the way it should be!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot

Error 69 tried everything, please help

Ok, I've never had problems with iTunes in the past. I purchased Sex and the City seasons 1-3 and have them on my iPod without any problems. I purchased seasons 4 & 5 and now can't get them on my ipod without that error message. I played the episodes in iTunes and they play just fine.
I even restored my iPod and had everything put back on there. Now not all my SATC is on there (the seasons w/o a problem) plus some of my music videos aren't on there, but the weird thing is when my ipod is plugged in it says there's 9.17 GB of video used, before I restored it it had 4.15 and had more video on it(the remainder of SATC and the missing music videos). I'm beyond frustrated right now. I bought this DIRECTLY from Apple... so why the problem? I've done every trouble shooting step. I want my friggn' shows!
Please help

I would try plugging the laptop directly into your cable modem, thus by-passing the router, and check your connection speed. Next, connect the router to the cable modem and plug the laptop directly into the router by cable. Compare your connection speeds. If both work fine by cable, then I think your wifi on the home router isn't broadcasting/working. You say the wifi connects at work/public, which leads me to believe it is not your laptop wifi card. What is your wifi signal strength from your home network? work? public?
