New 80GB iPOD mounts and then spinning ball on dismount :(

Brand new ipod for my MBPro. Plug it in and works fine and then when I try and eject, about 50% of the time it hangs and I get the spining ball and everything basically is screwed.
Doesn't happen on my other machine (Macbook) or with other ipods I own.
All software is up to date.
What's the problem? Thanks.

Alright, so I finally decided to just call Apple and see what was going on. I got talking to someone and explained my problem, about how the iPod wouldn't reformat and such, and he told me that something was wrong with the connections or something inside the iPod. Which in short means my iPod is dead, lol. Since it's only 2 months old though they're going to replace it, so they're sending me a box to ship my iPod back in, then once they recieve my iPod they're just going to send me a brand new one (and yes, a new one, not a refurbished one, I asked) and not even bother trying to just repair my old one, which leads me to believe that he's heard this problem already multiple times....
So basically I should be getting a new iPod in 10 days he said. Now I get to spend my break reimporting all my cd's.... score. This will be my 4th iPod... you'd think I'd have learned by now.. but no... lol.

  • Home DVD goes in, spins, does not mount, and then ejects. It does play on an old Windows PC.

    Hi. I have a MacBook and I am able to play purchased DVDs just fine. However when I try to play the home DVDs my brother burned for me on his new MacBook Pro it doesn't work. The DVD goes in, spins, does not mount, and then ejects. It plays on an old Windows PC though. Very strange. Help!

    I know your frustration, so happy I still own a PC just so I can burn any DVD I might still need!
    I was told at the Apple store to go buy an external l0l
    How awesome is THAT ...Yah you just paid an INSANE amount of cash for a CRAP laptop so now go out and spend MORE money on getting an external DVD burner so your expensive laptop can burn/play DVD's
    YAY APPLE... wtg at putting out a quality product!
    PS so fantastic to see all the responses to your cry for HELP here!

  • Brand New 80GB Ipod connects on and off with my usb cable

    hi, i just got a new 80gb ipod for xmas, and when i plug the usb cable to my ipod, it connects sometimes, and sometimes doesnt, and when it does, it disconnects sometimes too, i usually have to keep moving into different usb ports and one will work, then not work again, then work again later. i even tried my friends cable and its the same thing, i think somethings wrong with the port in the ipod, can anyone help ?

    Turn it off.  If it got wet somehow, you may try drying your ipod off.  The slow method would be a sunny window sill.  You could use a hair dryer on LOW, pointing it at the contacts.  When it drys out, charge itand try a hard-reset. If it still doesn't function properly....  ?

  • I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?

    I wiped my ipod classic and then my computer crashed, so i no longer have the songs i purchsed from itunes on my ipod or computer! I have a new computer now with itunes installed, can I get the songs purchased previously from itunes somehow?

    Yes, you can!(:
    STEP 1: Open iTunes
    STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
    STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
    STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
    NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
    NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
    NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
    Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

  • And the spinning ball goes round and round...

    Wow, all I'm doing is reviewing photos one by one in the library module using my arrow keys to move forward and back. All previews are previously built 1:1. I'm not doing anything in the develop module (enough of the slowness in this module has already been reported in these and many other forums.) I am trying to move through hundreds of images rapidly, marking picks, but I can only get so far before the spinning ball makes an appearance, giving me a signal to sit back and sip some coffee while I watch it spin for a minute or so. I even had LR crash - close unexpectedly - a couple of times. This was never an issue in LR1.
    If someone has figured out how to optimize a Mac, step by step, for LR2 I'd love to hear about it because I get the feeling it's going to be a long time before Adobe addresses the many issues that so many are complaining about.
    I'm using an iMac, Intel Core 2 Due, 2.16 GHz, 3GB ram. No other application is running.
    No, it's not the hottest computer on the market but it ran LR1 just fine. Between this issue and the develop module issues, the frustrations are beginning to mount.

    I'm taking a little break because I'm getting tired of watching my spinning ball. I have just uploaded a 450 shot job, created 1:1 previews, and now going through my rating system. I'm in Library mode with 1:1 previews. I first click through the photos, one at a time, and flag the obvious bad shots for deletion. After that I go through the images, again one at a time, and rank any acceptable with 1-star, I filter on the 1-star and repeat the process with 2-stars. This continues until I narrow my selections down to 4-stars. The problem is that I keep getting my spinning ball. I am not doing anything in the develop module. I'm just going from photo to photo looking at images and applying star rankings.
    The most frustrating is that at times I can pause on a photo to study it for maybe a minute. The computer is not doing anything, just sitting there while I examine the photo no zooming, no editing, nothing. I then click on the next image and bam, spinning ball. Haven't timed it but would guess close to a minute or more of spinning. Once it stops I can then proceed to click at a rapid pace, no problem for a while. I've tried counting the number of moves before the ball reappears but it's inconsistent. And yes, I've tried making just about ever optimization move I can find in this forum.
    I don't think there is a solution until Adobe address the problem so I'm really just venting. What a pain. I really like LR, I just want it to work better. Please Adobe, no new features for now, just work on optimizing what we have. This is like a great car in badly need of a major tune up.

  • Movies on a new 80gb ipod

    does anyone know when i can download movies on my new 80gb ipod. The uk website says it not available yet, the american website won't let me
    Any ideas?

    they haven't opened the UK movie store yet.. i think i heard its coming around christmas maybe even later? somebody will have to clarify that though..
    so for now you'll only be able to get things you already own on dvd and rip them to your computer.. or you can find them somewhere else online, but then you will probably have to convert them to mp4..

  • New 80GB iPod Classic Reboot Loop.... With A Twist??

    First of all, let me just say that I've searched for hours upon hours trying to find the answer to this questions before making this post, so please bare with me
    So, I have the 80GB iPod Classic, and was really happy with it. I had to get it because my 5th Gen iPod was stolen, and found that I really like all the features it has, yadda yadda. So basically, I had zero problems.
    Then a few days ago, it started acting funny. It would just stop at the beginning of random songs and stop playing. I couldn't figure out why, so would just skip the song and listen to the next one. This was all fine and dandy until the next time I plugged my iPod into my laptop.
    It has started on the coveted reboot loop, showing the Apple logo, starting to start up, but then failing, then starting the cycle over again.
    Reading other posts, the way to fix this is to plug the iPod into the computer, put it into disk mode, then reformat.
    My problem is that it won't reformat! I have no problem losing the music at this time, I can get it all back on there, but the stupid thing won't actually reformat itself!
    When I plug it into the computer it says different things. If I plug it in while it is already in disk mode, it says "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod." If I plug it into the computer while it is still going through the reboot cycle it comes up with the message, "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "MELISSA'S I". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings." Then it shows up in iTunes, but only under the name "iPod" instead of "Melissa's iPod", says n/a for the capacity, but then still has the correct software version (1.0.3) and serial number. I can then click restore, and the computer does its thing, then tells me it has be reformatted and to leave it plugged into the computer, then it will show back up in iTunes once it has restarted. The problem lies in that it never makes it through the restart to become listed in iTunes again until I put it into disk mode again. It seems that everyone else's problem is solved when they put it into disk mode, but that's just not working for me....
    I have honestly tried everything. Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, tried another computer, charged it with a wall charger, went through all the iPod properties, turned the iPod service off and on, did resets, went through everything possible in the Apple help, and all I want to do is listen to my music!!!
    Any suggestions, or am I resigned to spending hours on the phone with Apple, or sending it back to them?
    Thanks for all the help in advance, and happy holidays!

  • Can I download a free exercise video to my computer (not from Itunes)and then  to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv, and if so how?

    Can I download a free exercie video (not from Itunes) to my computer, then to my ipod nano, and then show it on my tv?

    If you have a compatible video file, you can add it to your iTunes library by dragging it to the iTunes window, or by using the command
    iTunes menu bar -> File -> Add to Library...
    If the video is in a format that iTunes can play, it should be imported and appear as a new item in the iTunes Movies library.
    It may not be playable on the nano directly, because of its format.  For example, if it's "HD," the resolution is too high for a nano's screen.  If it plays in iTunes, but not on the nano, you can use the command to covert it. Select the item in a list and then
    iTunes menu bar -> File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
    That version should play on an iPod nano.  NOTE:  Some videos downloaded from the iTunes Store cannot be converted to a lower resolution format, because they have DRM (copy protection).

  • Can dock connector from older iPod be used with new 80GB iPod?

    I just purchased a new 80GB iPod after my old one (scroll wheel, 4 buttons) finally gave up the ghost. I know that I can't sync using the Firewire cable but I'm wondering if the original dock connector will work if connected to the new USB cable. Will I be able to use it just as a charging stand or will it allow me to sync as well?

    The dock will work fine for both charging and syncing with the new USB cable, all the dock does is work as a souped up extension to the dock connector, as well as giving you line out of course. You may have a little trouble fitting your new iPod into the dock.
    Despite being pretty much the same size as my 4th generation 20gb iPod, the dock connector was slightly further towards the front of my new 80gb one, so I couldn't get it in, and the squarer corners on the front didn't help either. At the moment I am using the dock adaptor supplied, balanced on the dock which does the trick, albeit slightly unelegantly. I haven't got around to looking for the 40gb dock cover that came with it, though I'm hoping this will be deep enough to fit in.
    You'll need to use a (very) slim screwdriver or similar to prise the original fitting off the dock, but it can be done without damaging either if you take it slowly and carefully. There are clips of about 1cm in the centre of each side except the back. On the back there are clips of about 4mm either side of the slot that the cable goes into.

  • Does the new 80GB iPod scratch just as easily ast the 60GB?

    Does anyone know if the front of the new 80GB iPod scratches as easily as the previous 60GB iPod?

    Please stop posting about iCleaner (and digging up old threads). Trust me, we get it, and we really don't need 20 threads with the same reply (in 1 hour) to understand
    If someone new comes along and posts a question about scratching, feel free to answer (but don't dig up threads from August)

    The settings seems to be correct...As you were able to ping the ip 192.168.1.2,it should open the setup page..Try to disable the firewall,ant-virus and other security software if any and then,try...Also try to adjust the browser settings on the computer... Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...Now try..
    It should work now...If not then,you have to reset the router and need to reconfigure it again..

  • Unable to register new 80GB ipod

    I just bought a new 80GB ipod. Believe it or not, but when I try to register it, it tells me "The postal code you entered is not valid for [?]."
    I kid you not. This is despite the fact that the postal code is correct and I've tried it with and without spaces. No go.
    Also, after hooking it up to the USB 2 card on my Win 2000 PC, Windows wanted to reboot after loading a driver. However, the Ipod displayed a message saying "Do not disconnect." I decided to reboot.
    I mistakenly decided to let the Ipod autosynch with my Itunes library, which exceeds the 74 GB capacity of the ipod. It gave a message saying that the Itunes collection exceeded the storage capacity of the ipod but that it would load it up to full capacity.
    According to Windows Explorer, the Ipod now has something like 72.6 GB of data on it, yet it still tells me "Do not disconnect." It's been on and connected to my computer for about 20 hours now.
    I also bought the 2-year extended warranty. How do I get documentation from Apple, proving that I have this extra warranty?

    I don't know if it's a known problem, but there were 2 others yesterday who ran into the same issue.  One ended up just registering the product using this link rather than doing it via iTunes.
    https://register.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/GlobaliReg.woa
    The other had to restore the iPod and re-install iTunes if I recall correctly.
