Problem with syncing iPod ... Itunes and windows show errors... itunes 7...

hey guys... since I upgraded to itunes7 my ipod (4th gen click wheel) doesnt sync poperly! it all began when I was syncing the ipod and my screen just froze a few secs after connecing the ipod! I had to restart the computer and reset my ipod... from that time had alot of trouble!
first the screen froze immediately when I connected my ipod with the pc and later when i had formatted it with windows several times and resetted it a million times with itunes7, itunes and windows show errors (error (-124) while syncing and everything stops! I've just spent nearly two nights on that and really hope that my ipod didn't break just because of itunes7! to stay in proper english and not get that angry in letters that I am in mind--- please so help me... my ipod is everything and im a music junkey! by the way... itunes itself works perfectly... if i not sync! how peculiar that getting back to itunes6 is impossible...i tried it... does it hav a spec reason, hah!
IBM, Pentium3 (666MHZ), FW(desire to fire), Ipod Click Wheel   Windows XP   30cm

I tried formatting the ipod with windows! in the end of it windows says that it was not able to format the drive properly. then I click ok, open itunes, restore the ipod, try to sync again and have the problem that after a while the whole thing freezes... no more errors....just from the moment i disconnect the ipod manually from the cable, everything gets back to normal life again! I do not know what to do! do you guys think, my computer is too old or maybe my ipod's broke???
I'm despairing people...never had problems like that until itunes7! I tried as well to close all the other working programs with the task manager... doesn't change it!
Thx for the help!

  • 101 Problems with my iPod Touch and iTunes...Almost

    It really feels like I have 101 problems with my iPod touch and iTunes.
    For some time now my iPod Touch have been using alot of batterypower and the battery is often discharged very fast. It discharges alot faster now than when I brought the Touch.
    Also when I plug the iPod Touch to my computer it doesn't charge, it does the oposite of that, it's disharges and it does that ALOT faster than normal
    There is also a problem regarding connecting the iPod Touch to iTunes. It doesn't connect to iTunes directly after I have plugged it in. It feels really random and it lives it own life it seems like.
    If I accomplish to connect ut to iTunes it doesn't sync every single time. The computer / iPod Touch hangs and nothing happens. Soemtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, like I said before - It feels really random!
    Now to a BBIIGG problem. A week ago my girlfriend changed my password on my iPod Touch. When she typed the password into the login screen, it failed, she had forgotten the password / she thought that she picked that password when she changed it. Anywho, I didn't panic becuase I knew that I could lock it up by iTunes.
    But, iTunes gives me a error while trying to restore the iPod Touch saying that there is no update avaiable and after that nothing happens. I tried to do the Sleep / Power + Home trick to set the iPod Touch into a recovery mode but iTunes gave me a unknown error.
    I tried to update iTunes from my version to the new 8.0 version but when I do so it gives me a error saying that iTunes.msi can not be found and it can't uninstall the previous version :S
    So, now I have a unusable iPod Touch, I can't do nothing with it.
    Like I said, It's really feels like I have 101 problems ;D.
    Lucky I have my old iPod so I can listen to Music :P

    Are you running windows xp or vista? I know the solution for vista but not for xp. My mate had the same problem but he has a vista.
    Let me know what you are running.

  • I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT...

    I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT54G router. I am so frustrated right now because after following the various steps mentioned in one of these threads, following Earthlink's prompts, and speaking with Apple, my iPod touch will still not work. It is connected to the internet but will not download the pages. It is quite frustrating. I have changed from WPA to WEP, I switched the 4th Generated key to the 1st. I've disabled this, enabled that. I've done just about everything. I updated the firmware. I made the switch from a partial bridge to a full bridge. Still nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any other suggestions? The one thing I have not done is enter the Apple code into the iPod which searches for website...-- I cannot access the internet with my iPod so this web address does not work. If anyone has been successful, will you please give me step by step instructions? Yesterday I was on the phone with Linksys for about an hour. Before that with Apple for about an hour and before that with Earthlink. How it is that I can walk into a Bread Co. or Apple Store and immediately connect to the internet with my iPod but I can't in my own house?? Everyone seems to think it is someone else's problem so I've gone around and around. Not one of the Linksys support personnel suggested I look here on this community forum. I had to pay the $9 fee to have advanced Linksys help but still my iPod does not work and when I called back, the man I spoke with seemed to think the case was closed because my PC, Laptop, and iPod are connected to the internet -- the iPod just won't download the webpages or get mail. My iPod's IP address begins with 192. I would appreciate any help on this matter

    I had the same issues with my iPod touch & iPhone. It's a known issue with the touch & Linksys G routers. Go into settings on the touch & do the following.
    1. Settings - wifi - linksys
    2. Erase your DNS settings & input same numbers as in router
    Settings.
    3. Http proxy should be
    in off position.
    4. Close out & open safari you should now have a wireless
    connection.

  • A problem with my ipod shuffle and vista

    Hello all,
    was wondering if anyone could offer some ideas on this. My flat mate just moved and I was using his mac for my ipod shuffle. I have just bought a Dell with windows vista and have put itunes on it. When I put my ipod in the USB port, vista says it does not recognised it and my ipod does not show up in the source area of itunes. I have tried to reformat it but the recomended program is incompatible with vista (it says only it works for XP).Is there any other way to reformat my ipod for vista? or is there a vista program available somewhere else.
    many thanks Kim

    Hi there.
    I have similar problem with my ipod nano.
    I recently bought a new PC with Vista, and for some strange reason, initially my ipod was recognised as I was able to transfer purchased music from my ipod to my itunes.
    However now, a week or so later, every time I connect my ipod in the dock, it says "USB Device Not Recognised".
    I have tried to restore my ipod software, but it wont let me do that, saying that it has a fault and needs to be replaced!
    I initially thought it might be an ipod problem, but the store say it works fine, and restored (and wiped!) my ipod but it still doesnt work!
    I connected a friend's ipod and the same thing happened.
    So although I can listen to music in my itunes I cannot synchronise my ipod... what am I supposed to do?!
    Its very frustrating... does anyone know the solution please please please!

  • Can I use iCloud with my iPod nano and windows laptop?

    not clear how to use iCloud with an iPod Nano and a Win 8.1 PC

    iCloud doesn't work with the iPod nano directly, and will only work on a PC with an already-existing iCloud account; these need to be created from a Mac or an iOS device.

  • HT2305 Problem  with syncing Ipod classic in Itunes with Windows 8

    I am having problems getting my Ipod classic to sync with Itunes.  Is 2.0.4 the current firmware for me to use with my Ipod using Windows 8?  If not, please let me know what firmware I need to use.  Thank you.

    Hey catwoman001,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far! iPod software version 2.0.5 is available for the iPod classic 160GB (Late 2009). If this is your model, you may want to update the iPod. If you are having issues with your iPod, the following troubleshooting assistant may help:

  • Problem with syncing ipod classic with iTunes and multiple accounts

    Hi I have a 80gig ipod classic that I have just been using as is without putting any new music on it. I haven't had it hooked up to a computer or itunes in a couple years I've just been listening to the same music and using an iphone instead. To compound things I now have a couple (that I know about) apple id's that I am using. And a old HP computer which I am unsure if I can get running or salvage any of the music of it to transfer to my new Macbook Pro. I have logged onto apple and changed the password/id of the old apple id to authorize my new mac. I had some files transferred from the ipod to my new itunes but am still missing some 1100 songs. When I have tried to sync it I get an apple id prompt that I have never used before. I had my old apple id come up and with the new password got it to authorize on my Mac. Any help or direction on this will help me to bumble my way through until I can get to an apple store and try to get some help there. Thanks in advance!!!!!

  • Problem with syncing ipod to itunes after recovering windows 4 times

    To clean my computer from viruses I recover the system frequently.  The only programs on the computer are internet browsers and itunes.  The Ipod is a 2009 nano.  Itunes has been very good until my last system recovery.  It now thinks the computer is new which it is not. How do I keep from losing the songs I have purchased and reinstalling my CD back to Itunes?  I only have 1 more recovery until I reach 5.

    First see this article.

  • Problems with Sync iPod Touch with MS Outlook 2007 Calendar

    I've seen oodles of complaints in this area, I'm thinking Apple isn't ready for prime time with "Calendar"
    I have a 10 year old palm pilot, that has been syncing a MS-outlook calendar for work, and one from home, and it allows me to have a PDA with an accurate calendar. The work computer is typically newer (Windows 7, Outlook 2007), the home computer is typically older (XP, Outlook 2001). But changes between the two have happened over the years, and the Palm faithfully keeps on Syncing the two. I only want one calendar to see all my life's activities (work meetings, kid's dentist appointments, wife's sewing groups, going out with friends, etc.)
    Did I mention my palm is 10 years old? I purchased an iPod Touch last week, and I knew in advance it would force me to install iTunes (so both are new).
    While the ipod touch has wonderful things on it (I've jumped 10 years in technology), I need a mobile PDA with an "accurate" calendar. Note the word Accurate.
    After Syncing, I see some recurring entries on time, some recurring entries out by an hour, some recurring entries that were deleted on my computer, still there in the ipod.
    I've read that sometimes when you do a change (just to the content) of a recurring item, it can change the time of the calendar entry
    I've read that there are known bugs in deleted recurring entries, still appearing.
    While my Palm Pilot was not perfect, it handled those situations.
    From ideas I've read, I've reset my backup in iTunes, I've emptied my outlook calendar, synced it empty to ipod, imported my outlook calendar back, and synced it to ipod forcing it to "overwrite", but problem entries still remains.
    I've read some people say they no longer use recurring entries. Not an option for me. If I have a client for a year that wants to meet every Tuesday at 2:00 pm, but oh, I can't July 13, he can't October 19, how am I supposed to remember on those future dates, that the PDA while saying there is a meeting, there really isn't one?
    How do I go about with the entries out by an hour. Show up for every meeting one hour early, in case my PDA is wrong. Not acceptable.
    I've played with both date settings on the ipod (one is the ipod date, one is the calendar date). And both settings on my computer (calendar time zone and computer time zone). My computer has a DST switch, ipod does not. I'm really begining to hate DST both on the impact it has for a human body to switch, but also all the crap it causes in a more and more and more technologically connected world. But I have to rely on a city selection choice, that ipod knows if it goes with DST or not??? I don't really trust Apple on that one, sorry, it seems they've not latched on to the concept of time correctly. So I don't trust their DST on or off decisions, that I can't tell if they've done or not. I can't find any GMT time zones, I can find UTC, but no number is beside it (I want to choose my offset number of the time zone I'm in).
    While I like many kewl Apps the ipod touch has, the bottom line is, I need a PDA with a calendar. And I need a calendar that is accurate. And I don't want to enter 48 entries manaully in outlook 2007, when I can enter 52 with just one recurring effort, and delete 2 that don't work on a specific future day.
    I don't want to arrive an hour early for a meeting, cause I can't trust if calendar entry is correct or out by an hour.
    How can I tell if DST is on or off on the iPod (I do business monthly in an area that does not do DST). Playing around with time settings in my iPod to try to get most calendar items accurate with their time, but after a sync, it changes my time zone on the iPod to Phoenix. And I normally have it set to Calgary. I know Calgary is MST (with DST), but what is Phoenix? Why should I have to look up what time zone they are in, or do they do DST? Why does my ipod time zone change after a Sync!!!
    I'm a small business owner, but if Apple is not ready for Prime time, someone please tell me. I have a 10 year old son who wants my new ipod toy, and I'm starting to feel it is only that, a toy, not yet ready for business.
    Thank you for reading thus far

    I can't understand this question, can you clarify?
    By 'put a CD into itunes' did you mean you were viewing a CD in itunes or you had imported the tracks from the CD into your itunes library?
    On what screen were you seeing 'no sync high lighted' and what does that mean?
    Do you sync your entire library automatically with your ipod, do you need to select tracks to be automatically synced, or you manually manage your ipod's library?

  • Updated to itunes11- problems with syncing ipod

    I updated to itunes11. When I pug in my ipod, it no longer shows all possible playlists in the ipod window, with boxes to check or uncheck allowing me to choose which ones I want synced. I can see what is currently on it, but how do I choose to add a new playlist or delete one from my ipod? I so far hate this version. It is cumbersome not intuitive. I miss the older one.

    Hi SAABQueen7,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  One way to get to the screen where you can choose playlists for your iPod is to turn on the sidebar and click on your iPod from there.  You can re-enable this sidebar by following this:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • Problem with syncing ipod

    Hi, I just bougt the new ipod and am experiencing problems when syncing my music. when transferring my library (10gb) the progress bar in itunes freezes at random and does not continue transferring songs. everything works perfect with my nano, that's why i suppose there should't be anything wrong with my imac. anyone have a similar problem?

    I'm experiencing the same exact issues with a brand new iPod and a 40 gig iPod non Photo. iTunes will copy tunes along to a random point - stall - and then machine locks up until iPod is disconnected. Upon disconnecting iPod it becomes corrupt and needs to be reformatted (flashing folder error, etc.).
    This is the first issue I've ever had with an iPod and I think there must be something software/firmware related that is plaguing us.
    None of the disk mode tricks work consistently either - it's just a loop until you finally get all the tracks to copy over.
    Apple "Genius" told me that the hard drive was bad on my 40 gig - but now that I see the brand new out of the box 1 hour iPod is also having troubles over USB I think there's more to this... help!

  • Pairing problem with Docs to Go and Windows 7

    First, I'm not sure this is the correct forum. I've setup a new Windows 7 laptop and installed Docuemnts to Go (latest version downloaded, no updates needed). An was able to pair with both my iPhone and my iPad. iTunes syncs fine (but that's using a USB cable). I entered folders and files for Docs to Go to sync (the same ones as on my old laptop running Windows XP). Then Docs to Go desktop couldn't find the iPhone and I needed to pair again.  I have reinstalled the desktop application, double checked Bonjour, both laptop and iPhone are on the same WiFi.  But, I can't pair the two devices to sync my folders and files. Dataviz hasn't been any help - followed all their instructions, e-mailed Tech Support and got a reply that said to do exactly what I told them I did!
    Anyone have this problem? Anyone have a solution? 
    It seems to be a problem with one or the other (desktop application or iPhone app) not communicating via WiFi properly.  I'm assuming that that's a Bonjour issue.
