I can't connect my iPod classic to iTunes, it just doesn't react when I put the USB into the PC

hey, I have an iPod classic and it can't connect to iTunes.
I put the USB into my computer trying to add music, but it doesn't seems to react.
It DOESN'T say that it can't recognize the Ipod..
- Itunes just simpely doesn't react when I put the USB-cabel into my computer.
- when i go to the task manager the "apple device mobile" and "ipod service" is acitve in the processes
- I've tried to restart my computer (windows XP)
- update iTunes
- reinstall iTunes
- restart my apple devices mobile manager
what I think is the problem (which I can't solve) is that iTunes doen't even react to the USB
plz hlp me!
- ps it really should be able to add music to my iPod without getting help from a expert.

Hello qz0rz213,
It would seem that iTunes has encountered or developed an issue in the process of trying to sync photos to your device. The best place to start would be removing the iPod Photo Cache (thus allowing for a new version to be created).
Note: Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If the issue is not resolved by removing the iPod Photo Cache, the following article goes into further steps that can both help you determine the source of this trouble and eliminate it.
Symptoms
In certain situations, iTunes may display an alert or may be unable to sync photos to an iPod or iOS device. Examples include:
After updating iOS, iTunes displays an alert that there is not enough room to sync photos
This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
This article outlines steps to resolve these issues.

So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
Please help!

You migh give resetting your NVRAM a try:

Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off. Still nothing appeared on the screen. I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black. However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed. In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on.
What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
gud luck

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

My Macbook Pro is stuck. When I turn the Mac on, it start like normal. But then it's stuck. When I click on Safari or iPhoto it wont open. Nothing will open. It wont turn off either. I have to hold on the off button for 5 seconds.

Thats my problem.

switch it off with long press of Power
switch it on, IMMEDIATELY press and keep pressed Option key on keyboard
when selection appears, release option and select Recovery
then select Select Disk Utility.
in Disk Utility select your HD.
Press repair drive, wait until it finishes
Press Repair permissions, wait until it finishes
Quit disk Utility
Reboot as usual
tell if it helps.

My iphone 4 will ring but I can not speak to the caller as when I turn the volume up or down my phone says ringer(headphones) on the display

My iphone 4 will ring but when I answer it I can not hear the caller as my phone thinks I have earphones connected and if I receive a message it vibrates but does not give me any alert tone.I have reset my phone but nothing has changed

Most likely faulty battery. Make Genius Appointment and take iPhone to Apple, battery diagnostic test by Genius takes less than 5 minutes.

What is the official Apple error number if the airport hardware on a macbook air doesn't work?

Welcome to the  Discussions
Actually that is not enough information.
Was this to an AIM on PC Buddy ?
If so which version were they using ?
Was it to a Tiger Buddy on iChat ?
The log says it was one on the other and not a Leopard Buddy as there SIP port is listed as port 5061.
Also what routing devices are you using ?
Makes Models and version numbers please.
Which ports do you have open ?
What method did you use ?
In fact read this FAQ even though it was written at the time Tiger came out

Does anyone know why its doing this? Or a way i can fix it? I've cheaked for updates and there is none!
Thankyouuu
it looks like that when it is locked and when its unlocked it looks like this

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

When I turn my volume up on my ipod it automatically goes down by itself

When i turn the volume up on my ipod touch it automatically goes down by itself...is there anything i can do to fix this, if not i am still under my one year warranty so maybe i can just get it replaced?

I use this formula to reset Admin login password:
Resetting a user's password in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion
Important: Passwords for administrator accounts should not be blank.
Log in with an administrator account. Tip: If you don't know the password of any administrator accounts, see "Resetting the original administrator account password" below.
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences.
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click the lock button if it appears locked; enter the administrator password.
Select the name of the user whose password you want to change.
Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.
Enter a new password in both the New Password and Verify fields, and add a Password Hint if desired.
Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.
And the change password has me making a new Apple ID. I don't need a new Apple ID. I need a new Admin login so that when I turn on my Macbook I need to login with a password before I can used the Macbook. Amd I asking the wrong question of support?

The icon when i change the volume up or down is no longer the beats logo, it is a simple megaphone.

1. HP Pavilion m6 Notebook PC
2. Windows 7 64 bit
3. none
4. I accidentally deleted IDT Audio, i was trying to get rid of programs that i didnt need, i didnt know this controlled beats.
i noticed that my Beats Audio Control Panel was gone and i searched online and found out i needed to re-download IDT, so i did. Beats Audio Control Panel is now back but when i change the volume up, down, or off, it shows an ugly little megaphone icon and ugly little white bars, instead of the shiny silver beats logo and the silver bars. I hate the new logo with the mega phone how can i get the beats logo back?
i tried a system restore from before i uninstalled IDT but it still has the same problem.
Please reply with any ideas

Hi,
Try reinstalling the HP OSD Utility on the following link.

After this has completed, restart the notebook.
