Nano no longer works with iTunes, Updater

I got my nano, hooked it up, put music on it, everything worked fine. I was showing my wife how the photo bit worked and the screen went all black pixels and froze. I did a reset and now I am stuck with what I have on the thing. Windows sees the iPod, but neither iTunes or the updater can communicate with it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have tried on other computers as well, no luck. Come on man! Now I get to send it back and wait for another one, you would think for $250 these things would work a little better. Anybody else have this problem?

Welcome to the forums!
Is there an Apple store near you? If so I would go there and meet with their Geniuses <sp>. They can help you sort it out. If they find that the iPod is truly broken they may just offer a replcement on the spot.
The only suggestion I can offer is to switch the hold switch off and on a few times and do the reset again. Sometimes that will work when just a simple reset will not. Reset is the menu and center button at the same time.
I know how it feels to be unlucky with a new gadget. Have to keep in mind that they have made millions of these and a few will have problems.

Airplay no longer works with iTunes

Airplay no longer works with iTunes 10.6; try to stream to speakers connected to Airplay device--use to work fine. Now, in iTunes, the icon in the bottom corner actually says 2 speakers, as it should, but when I open it it only shows speakers connected to computer directly. I have tried re-installing the AirPort utility and configuring it in every which way. I have tried turning off IPV6 in the network. Nothing seems to work.

I noticed this too and think it's by design. The new master volume slider in the AirPlay window is set at the highest volume in your list of speakers. Drag either the master volume or your external speaker slider to max, and you should get normal volumes out of your Airport Express speakers.
Unfortunately, the volume slider on the iTunes window seems to be the master volume now, rather than just the volume for the computer. So if you mute the computer using that slider, you mute all speakers. To mute just the computer, you have to do it though the AirPlay speaker list now. Unless I'm missing a preference setting somewhere... thought there used to be something in iTunes or Airport Utility that let you toggle this behavior, but I don't see anything now...

Menu bar no longer working with IE update

With the recent update in IE my main menu bar is no longer working, the "hover" function is not working and looks like the links are broken, but the links do work if you actually click on them. From my vista machine it is OK but from my XP machine it does not show as being a link. The submenu's however do still work, here is the code, the first line is from the main menu and doesn't work, the 2nd line is a submenu and does work.
Here is the site www.conundrumadventures.com
From the main menu this is the code for "Adventures":
<td id="002" class="link4" onclick="location.href='Teambuilding-Exercises-Adventures.php'"; onmouseover="changeC('002','link4h');" onmouseout="changeC('002','link4');" >Adventures</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
From within the adventures page here is the code for the submenu for "Conundrum Metro":
          <td id="303" class="Sublink4" onclick="location.href='Outdoor-Team-Building.php'"; onmouseover="subchangeC('303','Sublink4h');" onmouseout="subchangeC('303','Sublink4');" >Conundrum Metro</td>
        </tr>
Any ideas how to fix the main menu bar?
Thanks
Lynn

I recommend doing away with your mouseover/mouseout links and convert to using Cascading Style Sheets.
Here is a link to CSS tutorials: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html
You don't say whether you are using Dreamweaver CS4 or an earlier version, but even if you are using that earlier version, you can type the code in yourself. Look especially at the tutorial chain "Designing with CSS", as there is a module that talks about a menu bar and how to make the links.
Best wishes,

Sync iCloud-enabled iPhone no longer works with iTunes

Both my wife's and my iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S stopped syncing with iTunes soon after the switch to iCLoud and iOS 5.0.1.
Both phones are setup to backup into iCLoud and to sync via WiFi to the inhouse iTunes.
At some point iTunes decided that both devices are no longer linked with our Computer (iMac 27 OSX 10.7.2) and insists whenever it 'sees' the iPhones on WiFi or the local cable that either devive has to be initialized or restored from the latest local backup (which is outdated due to the iCloud backups).
No way to syn music, videos, movies to any of the devices ever since.
Anybody else having the same issues with iTunes 'forgetting' previously paired iPhones?

That is wild! My receiver had problems under 4.1, and I upgraded to 4.2 last night hoping to rectify things. It worked for me, flies through the menus and plays back beautifully again.
I have a 3GS and a Pioneer deck in the truck.

HT1454 iphone 4, composite cable no longer works with ios6 update

I have the iphone 4, and I used an apple composite cable to watch youtube, videos, etc on my TV through an AV input. But when I upgraded from IOS 4 to IOS 6, it no longer works. Says something along the lines of "accessory not supported" or close to that. The iphone used to go into a display mode, where nothing shows on the phone's screen, and everything shows on the TV. But now it doesn't even do anything but give me an error message. Any ideas?
In sum, it worked before, but updated, and now no longer works.

It was the cable connector seating.
It looked fully attached, but on removal and FIRM attachment it worked.
If the AV iPod connector is not fully seated you get this error. The old iPod connector used a locking connection with a positive click, the AV cable uses a lockless connector that differs from the newer lockless iPhone connector. I suspect the AV cable connector was a transitional design that may have more connectivity issues.

Quicklook no longer works with iTunes 8.0.1

When you open the Movie or TV folder in Finder, the file icons begin changing from iTunes icons to a blank grey icons and the files can no longer be viewed from Preview or Quicklook.
Is this an intended design change or is it a software oversight with iTunes 8.0.1? In either case it's very annoying, as I use Quicklook extensively.

It was a precursor to my G4 HD going south. Had to rebuild from scratch and it's fine.

ITunes Match No Longer Works With iTunes 11.1.4.62

After upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4.62 for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, my iTunes Match no longer works. It insists that I pay for another subscription even though I have a valid subscription already. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue? What can I do to remedy this problem?

So I'm guessing that there is no fix for this error? I see that this patch has caused complete disaster for not only me but for lots of other people as well. Tell us how to fix our issues or release a new patch!

Is Windows XP no longer working with iTunes?

It looks like others with XP computers are having issues connecting with iTunes store. My error is 0x80096004. I am looking for a solution. Not interested in the mess that is Windows 8 and can't afford a Mac. I don't use my pc for anything other than a storage center for my music and video library and I like to manually add and delete content from my phone and ipad mini.

Tad,
It sounds like you've done a pretty good job of troubleshooting the issue. I recommend that you call Cisco Small Business Support and see if someone can connect from our lab using a Windows 7 PC. The PCs in our lab do not have any software installed and usually have a fresh install of Windows. I am not sure if they are all up to date as far as Windows updates, but it may help to troubleshoot the issue if we can connect. You can find a contact number at the following link: www.cisco.com/go/sbsc

PDFs no longer work with iTunes and sync to iBooks

First off, the "Books" tab in the iPad/iPhone sync panel is woefully light. There need to be options to de/select all, organize by more than title/author, etc. That's a UI issue, not a bug, but worth mentioning.
However, I'm finding that PDF syncing to iOS devices is now broken alltogether. (Yes, it used to work for me)
When the Media Kind of the PDFs are set to "Book", they show up in the "Books" section of iTunes as expected, as well as the default list of available books for syncing in the iPad/iPhone Book sync panel. Oddly, they do not show in the list when "PDFs only" is selected from the pulldown list, and most importantly, they do NOT sync to iBooks on my iPad/iPhone.
(When the Media Kind of the PDFs is set to "Music", they do not show up in any lists.)

Me TOO: Since I updated iTunes to Version 8.1 I am unable to sync my Nano Generation 4. It gives an error message 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'. I have been to the Apple Store twice, first time they restored my iPod and said it would be OK - it wasn't. Then they gave me a new iPod and said it would be OK - it wasn't. I don't think its the iPod!! I believe it is Version 8.1 as this issue only once I upgraded to the latest version.
I have removed and reinstalled iTunes and even tried to download an earlier version. Nothing works...
I am now left with a brand new iPod that I am unable to use!!!

IPad/iPhone file browser (iPhone Explorer) no longer working after iTunes update

iTunes freezes up on me a lot when I connect my iPad, so I prefer to add files to apps using a file browser like iPhone Explorer. However, after this most recent iTunes/Quicktime update, this and other programs like it don't work.
My computer is running Windows XP (yeah, I know it's old, but I'm not made of money!). I have an iPad 2 with the most recent iOS version installed.
Here's the error message iPhone Explorer gives me:
"iPhone Explorer is unable to load the app directories because the version of CoreFoundation.dll installed on your system doesn't work properly. This sucky DLL likely got on to your computer because of a recent update in the Safari web browser. Because this sucky DLL is shared between many other Apple programs, reverting back to the non-sucky version is more complicated than just uninstalling and reinstalling a couple programs. We recommend waiting a couple months for the next Safari update and hopefully Apple will have this stuff fixed then."
I don't have Safari installed on my computer. Just iTunes (and Quicktime).
As a result, you can't browse the app directories, so you can't add any files to apps. I tried uninstalling iTunes and replacing it with an older version, but it wouldn't open because it said the library file was created by a "newer version." I'm also having some trouble even getting iTunes to show the files in my apps (under iPad -> Apps -> scroll to bottom of the screen), but that might just be a symptom of my old iTunes-freezing problems.
I'm kind of stuck. Anyone else experience this problem or have any suggestions? Thanks!!

That's XP SP3 I hope? iPhone Explorer support is shown at the bottom of the page you linked above or at [email protected] and it's them you should be asking really.
You should be keeping iTunes and the iPad software always up to date for security reasons. If that breaks external software then they are the ones to ask.
If you are having problems with the iPad then try resetting it by clicking the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You wont lose anything.
If iTunes is acting up then try asking on that forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows

Yahoo "hyperlink" button is no longer working with latest update 3.6.6 yahoo edition 1.7

I was prompted today to update Firefox to version 3.6.6, Mozilla Firefox Yahoo! Edition Yahook 1.7. After I installed the update, I noticed that in Yahoo! Mail some of the buttons above the message field are no longer active. I'm no longer able to click the "emoticon" icon, the "hyperlink" icon, or any of the remaining alignment buttons to the right of the previously mentioned. Those buttons have become locked, "unclickable" and they no longer show any alt text, therefore I'm unable to tell you the exact names of the buttons. (My main concern is the "hyperlink" icon.)
However, I AM ABLE to click the following buttons:
-Spell check
- Font face
- Font size
- Bold
- Italic
- Underline
- Text color
- Highlight color
(and that's where the working buttons stop)
Any assistance would appreciated.

It's not a hardware issue. I have the exact same circumstance. After being prompted and then updating the software on my shuffle, it quit working. All I get is the green-orange flashing light. iTunes recognizes it's connected, restore works, and syncing works, but the shuffle does not work.

Why does my iPod Nano no longer work with JVC TH-BC3 dock?

I have a JVC TH-BC3 soundbar with a built-in iPod/iPhone dock. My iPod now displays a "non-compatible" message on the screen when I when docked in the TH-BC3. What is the problem?

I sent the question to JVC's support desk and they sent the following reply -
Thank you for contacting JVC Customer Care. My name is Veronica, your email care specialist. We value you as a JVC customer and appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance.
I understand you are experiencing difficulties with your JVC TH-BC3 recognizing your iPod Nano. We do apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. What generation is your iPod Nano? By any chance have you recently updated the iOS? If so, it may just require a soft reset. Simply press and hold the Menu and Home button until the Apple logo appears. This will not erase any information on your iPod/iPhone, simply reboot the software. Please make sure the iPod/iPhone is not connected to the unit while performing the soft reset.
I performed the soft reset and tried my iPod Nano in the dock and it now works!

Since MBA no longer working with iTunes, should I skip buying new iPad2

Since the upgrade to 10.6.7 on my new 13" MBA, my iTunes does not work, my battery does not work, and several other issues are having problems.
My question is: Since my new iPad 2 is scheduled to arrive here by the end of the month should I cancel this order now as I won't be able to connect it toTunes?
I have owned various apple computers since 2002 and this is the first time that Apple so royally screwed up my new machine with this new update that I am embarrassed for them.

What's this about iTunes not working on new MBA with OS X 10.6.7?? That's what I'm running although 11" instead of 13" but I doubt that would make much of a difference, and my iTunes works fine. Although, before this I wasn't spending $130 to upgrade to Snow Leopard from Tiger with a 4 year old laptop, so I hooked my iPhone up to my work comp using XP, and when I got my MBA, plugged in the iPhone, I had the option of keeping the songs on my phone and not syncing with my "old" library, or erasing all the new songs and syncing with my "old" library. Pretty sure that's intentional though.

Hello upthereds,

Yes it is compatible and should work. Let us know if you run in any problems though and we'll do what we can to help.

IPod nano no longer syncs with iTunes

Lately when I attempt to sync my 2nd generation nano to iTunes, the iPod will not show as being recognized and the software becomes unresponsive. I do get the "do not disconnect" message on the iPod, but I must disconnect because there is no other option. The moment I disconnect, iTunes says it cannot sync because a folder was not found. Can someone offer some assistance?
Thanks very much,
Scott

Yeah, I am having trouble with syncing my iPod as well. I get the following error message: "The pod 'My name' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred [-48]" Anyone have this problem?
