Odd problem with iPod 5G 30G and iTunes 8...

It freezes when I plug in my iPod.
I've tried with my friend's iPod Nano (newest) and my iPod touch 8G and it works properly...
But iTunes freezes when I connect my iPod 5G 30G on Windows Vista.
Funny thing (annoying) is that it (my iPod) works properly in another laptop with Windows XP and iTunes 7...
So it seems something is wrong with the last update... Because it used to work...
Any solution to this...? Do I have to borrow my friend's laptop to change the music of my iPod or install something like Rockbox ...or even iTunes 7?
Does it means I have to buy a new model to keep compatibilities with the software?
Thanks in advance for the info.

Nothing?
Isn't this the support forum?
I must be doing something wrong...
Guess I'll go and ask the scene...
Thanks anyway
... let me see... apple.com... support... yes... odd thing... :/

Problems with HP TouchSmart 300 and Itunes - not transferring to iphone 4s or the new ipad

Hi
I've got problems with trying to transfer music to my iphone 4s or new ipad with itunes on this computer. It will only transfer some songs....and what it does transfer is not complete i.e. starts 10 seconds in etc. It doesn't do this with our ipods, which are both new. Music transfers fine onto them. We never had this problem with our old acer laptop.
It also does this with photos, but I bought a camera connector for that problem. This Touchsmart has always been a bit jittery with itunes, but still worked after for playing music music after launching task manager, and opening again. This does not rememdy this issue. I read a while back that people suggested completely removing itunes (and all it's components such as bonjour etc, but I'm not sure how to do this)and re-installing it all again.
I believe this is a HP issue with software compatability with itunes and the 4s and ipad. If anyone could help - that'd be appreciated, as it's driving me mad!!
Thanks

Hello funcdoc:
I just got back from speaking with my friend. He said that only mp3 files can be loaded into your Iphone. Yes you can use the windows media center as I mentioned above post in case Itunes software still isn't working for you. I asked him about that also. He will be here on Thursday some time after 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. To give you direction on how to load music mp3 from Itunes into your I phone as well. He is going to give you the links for downloading other music websites like you tube. He said you need this software as well. He is a casher was working to night it was to busy for him to write all this all down for you. He has college classes he goes during the day and works at night. He has been doing this since he was 11 years old. Like you he is in to his music.
I hated it when he would use my computers because all the malware he use to put on my computers and the Itune always updateing pop up would always display. Then he would mess up my settings. This time my computer has software that can delete and fix up his mess he makes. So just relax for now if need be we can go live chat with any messengers you like to use Skype will allow you to view my computer screen. He is an expert using Apple's software. You have already updated your computer software solution 25 has the one for fix USB and other ports issue you desribe in your second post . You have a fresh copy of Itunes installed so that covers every thing. If he isn't to busy in the store tomorrow I will see if he can write down some of the direction for you. He will be here for sure on Thursday for sure just for you. Ok. Remember only mp3 music files can be uploaded unto I phones. frrw

Problems with ipod battery life AND new software

First of all, I'm not 100% sure if my ipod is fifth generation... it's a 30 GB and I've had it since December 2006. This just seemed to be the only category it fit into.
But here we go: I have two major problems with my ipod that have arisen in only a period of a couple days.
First of all, my battery life suddenly got REALLY REALLY bad. I know there are already a bunch of threads with people complaining about their battery life, but mine is much worse. The battery life did progressively get a little worse over the past few weeks, but it was nothing major. But I turned my ipod on the other day, RIGHT after fully charging it, mind you, and within 2-3 minutes the battery was halfway discharged and in about 5 minutes it was almost dead.
And a couple of times, I had my ipod plugged into my iBook to charge, and the iBook went into sleep mode because I left it alone for a while. But after a couple hours I came back and the battery level was LOWER than when I plugged it in!!!! What's going on with this thing?
And then to make matters worse, I finally broke down and downloaded the new ipod software the other day (sorry I can't remember the version, but it's the most recent). Everything seemed OK until I turned on my ipod the next day. With the old software, when I would select "Music>" and then "Artists>" it would go to the list of artists like it's SUPPOSED to.
But now, when I select "Artists>" it then goes to a list entitled "Artists" and my ONLY option is "All>". If I click "All>" then it takes me to a second list called "All Albums" and my only option again is "All>". When I click it again, it takes me to a list called "All Songs" with NOTHING in it. At first, I was afraid the update had deleted all the music off my ipod, but I plugged it back into my computer and according to iTunes, everything was still there as if nothing had happened.
Is there anything I can do to remedy either of these problems? I am so frustrated with this thing, considering both of these things happened rather suddenly and the fact that my ipod is not even a year old and it's not like I've been abusing it or anything.

I've had both exact problems (listed below) within days of each other just like you. This is extremely effing frustrating and it appears Apple isn't doing sh|t about it.
Problem 1: Battery constantly discharges even when ipod is turned off.
Problem 2: After upgrading firmware to 1.2.2, all my content (songs, podcasts, everything) was gone.
I'm glad to say I was able to fix problem 2 after reading about reverting back to version 1.2.1. There are instructions in this forum on how to do it. If you are like me, you'll have to download the 1.2.1 files from Apple's website because they were no longer on my computer.
This dieing/dead battery problem is a major effing pain in the a$$. Like you say, the effing thing is dead after minutes. The only way it can be used for any length of time is to leave it plugged in to a charger.
No one seems to have a solution which is even more upsetting than the problem. Hey Apple, I want my money back!

New Problems with IPod nano - crackle and clicking

Hi,
I got the IPod nano (2GB) a view weeks ago. I haven't changed anything - only copied mp3 songs and photos on it.
Today suddenly during jogging the nano starts to crackle and click - like an old analog tape. This didn't stop any more even after a lot of resets. I have connected my IPod with USB-2 onto my computer and recharged the accu completely. After disconnecting properly the problem is still the same. Also the buttons and the wheel don't work correctly anymore. Has anybody similar experiences? It seems apple has big trouble and problems with this new product. Maybe the IPod nano isn't fully well-engineered jet.
I am looking forward for your help and suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Your Stephan

Hi Mike,
and what did you do finally?
Did you bring the Ipod back to
your dealer for an exchange?
My IPod didn't get wet during
jogging I have carefully kept an
eye on it.
Is this a general problem with the IPod
or only with some units?
Thanks
Stephan

AirPlay mirroring with iPod Touch 4g and iTunes

Can I use AirPlay on iOS 6.1.5 ( iPod touch 4g ) to iTunes 11 ( Windows XP )?
If yes, can I play certain games (e.g. Minecraft)
Thanks,

The only way to AirPlay an iPod to a Windows PC is with
Reflector - AirPlay mirror your iPhone or iPad to any Mac or PC, wirelessly.
but that requires a 5G iPod
To Airplay to an Apple TV without iOS s see the
If your device isn't using iOS 7
topic of
Using AirPlay
You can AirPlay videos, music, or photos from a variety of different locations on your iOS device, including from within the Photos, Videos, Safari, and Music apps, or directly from recently used apps.

Problem with Ipod Touch 8gb and Monster Beats Solo HD

Apple Ipod o guys , i bought an Ipod Touch there in this january , and 2 weeks later , when i got back to Brazil , my cousin did me the favor to crack my screen pretty good . So now , im wondering ,what can i do to fix it ,because the Apple Support here said that they would only give me a discount to buy a new one ( and its a REALLY cheap discount ) , and if i choose to fix it from a unauthorized apple store , it would cost something like 300 dollars or so . ( Thats even more than i paid for the entire thing ) . So , as you can see , my country cant actually help me out on this one . Do you guys have any advice for what i could do ?
P.S. : I paid like 20 bucks for a special kind of insurance . Not sure if it would do me any good now .
Monster Beats : So ...as a lot of people , i think the headphones are great . But i really thing they are "popped " ( not sure whats the english term tho ) , i can still hear music and stuff but sometimes some kind of noise ( very annoying btw ) starts to come out , mostly when in low pitch notes ( again , not sure whats the english term lol ) like in hip hop songs and stuff .. Is there anything i can do for this one too ?
Well , thats it guys , i hope you guys could understand my bad english ( sorry if you guys didn't ) . Any help would be deeply aprecciated .
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello NashOwnz,
I was disappointed to read about the problem with your iPod! If you have Geek Squad Black Tie Protection, Geek Squad can offer you service for the iPod, but it will need to be brought to a Best Buy store. Knowing that you're in Brazil, I realize that complicates matters.
For support with your headphones, please visit the Monster Beats website. I hope this helps.

Problems with iPod Touch- YouTube and Push Notifications

After installing iOS4 on my 64gb iPod Touch I've noticed I cannot view YouTube videos and push notifications do not work.
The YouTube app launches, however if I try to search or play a video a pop up will read "Cannot connect to YouTube". If I go to YouTube's newly redesigned mobile site they work fine.
Although all my settings are the same as they have ever been, push notifications do not work. When launching any app with push notification support it always states "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications". I've done this, but nothing works.
For the record, I've never jailbroken or in any other way altered my device. I've tried performing a hard reset with no success, as well as letting the battery drain completely and shutting off before recharging.
Thanks for any help.

Problem with ipod, lagging, freezing, and also skipping to the end on video

i've had my ipod for about 4 months now and i can't help to realize my fairly new ipod is slowing down on loading.
when i first started, a white screen comes up and in the middle, it has an ipod and reads, "www.apple.com/support"
main reason why i came to this place.
thats fine to me, it works when i restart it.
then, i press a few buttons, Music -> Artist -> and whatever i want to listen to, but you know how the pages are suppose to pass? my ipod suddenly lags up(slows down) and at the top it shows that im going to those pages, but the screen won't change, then after 30 seconds, the page is loaded.
when i play a song, it tends to freeze a couple times and play again, i don't think this is such a big problem, because it only freezes for about 1 to 10 seconds at most.
also since i have an ipod video, i like to put some funny videos on it. the video when i play it, it is frozen for a couple seconds and play, but plays all the way at the end, meaning that the video has been skipped to the end of it.
these are my problems, anyone who has any idea what so ever what is wrong with my ipod then please reply.
note!!
i have tried restoring over and over again.
i have dropped my ipod a few times, but not that far from the ground.

Did you Reset it or Restore it in iTunes? And if the latter, it successfully completed the Restore?

Problem with Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.4

I am currently running Windows 8.1 on my computer. Before I had iTunes 11.3 (something) installed on my computer and it was working relatively well. Every time I tried to update it, however, the 11.4 update would fail to work. That was fine until iTunes stopped syncing new songs to my iPod. In an effort to fix it, I have tried multiple things. I deleted all temp files and followed those procedures when I first removed iTunes. I have managed to reinstall my previous version of iTunes which takes me back to 11.0.2.26, but now my iPod (5th gen. touch) is unable to sync with this version as it tells me that I need to be running 11.1 or higher.
However, every time I've tried to install the lastest version (64-bit or otherwise), Windows tells me first that it does not recognize the publisher, but when I proceed anyway, it tells me that "this app can't run on your PC." I have tried multiple fixes for this as well, including troubleshooting the compability and setting it to Windows 7 and running the setup under "run as administrator." Nothing is working and I'd just like to be able to get iTunes 11.4 to work. |:

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Permission problems with my Drobo 5N and iTunes library

Hi I have my iTunes library located on my Drobo 5N. My problem is when I try to access it from my other Macs I get an error saying it is on a locked disk. I attempted to check permissions from finder nod the Drobo iTunes folder and it indicates owner unknown and no access for everyone else. There is no little lock at the bottom where I can go in and try to fix it.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
Herbert

Ok, I have encountered this problem also.   Not only with iTunes librabry, but also with my iPhotos library.   I'm not certain what the cause is, yet here is how I have been able to resolve my problem:
1.     Shutdown/quit all applications from all machines (including any mobile device) on the network that access files the drobo 5N.
2.     Properly power down the drobo 5N as instructed by drobo instructions.
3.     Property power down the router and then restart it again after a few seconds of waiting.
4.     Once the router is fully up and running, check your wifi network connection to your PC or Mac first.
5.     Then power up your drobo 5N.
6.     Once the drobo 5N is fully powered up, try accessing your iTunes library file again from one machine.
Please note: I recommend that you do not attempt to access the iTunes library file residing on the drobo from multiple machines at the same time. I believe that you would need an "iTunes Server" for this capability to be available. The drobo 5N does not offer an "iTunes Server" app at this time.
Let me know how it goes.

Odd problem with ipod touch

My Ipod will constantly turn itself off or bring up the power off bar...I dont have to press any buttons or touch the screen for this to happen. Ive restored my Ipod, reset it multiple times and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

If you restore it and it is still happening, it's most likely hardware-related--like a switch shorting or a logic board issue.

Problems with IPod turning on and other things.

Recently I turned on my IPod shuffle and the green light goes on. I am thinking, great, it is working, but then the light won't turn off and because of it I can't press play or use any other buttons available to me. Somtimes where that green light goes on it flashed, green, orange, green orange, or somthing like that. Also, I have charged the thing and when I pressed the button on the back to display the battery charge no lights came on at all. Anyone knowing how to fix the problem and their help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
Gateway FX400X Windows 2000

Also, when I went into my computer, and wanted to see what was in my IPod, it said there was a hidden file that I don't know how to remove, so yeah.... Help would be greatly appreciated.
