Problems ejecting 5G iPod with iTunes 7.0 (Sep-12 version)

I'm starting a new thread because after searching others I have concluded this is a new issue not covered elsewhere. Problem - after upgrading to iTunes 7.0 and restoring my 5GB iPod to version 1.2 when I attempt to eject my iPod I get the error message "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". I spent hours resolving this problem just to get to the point of updating my iPod to 1.2 thinking that the new version would work. Now - even with the latest software installed - I still can't eject.

Ok, tonight I've managed to make my iPod work again with my Mac. I've managed to remove iTunes 7.0.2 and install iTunes 6.0.5 by following the following instructions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=651195&tstart=0
Also, make sure you remove all iTunes files/directories from:
Macintosh HD >Library >Receipts
Then installation of iTunes v6.0.5 was possible and all the 5000 music files were correctly synchronized. Even after a reset, the iPod still works nicely...

Problem Updating my iPod with iTunes

I recently bought a 2GB iPod nano and want to update it. The software I have on my iPod nano is 1.1.1. The website says that the current is 1.2. iTunes says that my iPod nano is up to date but my iPod nano says different. Could somebody please help me! Thanks!

If you have the latest version of iTunes click your ipod and click your opod and click summary and under verion you should be able to click Update IF YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF iTUNES! if not, under start and programs (windows users) go to ipod and ipod up dater and hopefully the date says 2006-6-28 or later. if not back up songs and reformat i guess, or reset (hold menue and middle button) hope this helps

Problems sync'ing iPod with iTunes

I purchased some episodes of The Office through iTunes recently. Initially these episodes appeared on my iPod after sync'ing. Now, when I sync, the episodes will not transfer to my iPod. They appear in my iTunes account, the checkboxes are checked, but I can't get them on my iPod.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any thoughts?

Disregard.
I found an option in iTunes where you can set the Play Count to zero. When this is set to zero and you sync your iPod, all content appears on your iPod.
Not sure if this is the best solution, but it works.

Problem from ejecting the iPod from iTunes

I don't know why that when I eject the iPod from iTunes, iTunes always show the command text to reject the eject of iPod.
The command show that "The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains file that are in use by another appilcation.", so that I can't eject by this formal way.
Therefore, I post this to find someone help me to solve the problem.
Thank you.....!!!!

Try ejecting it while your antispyware/antivirus software is disabled.

Problem with album picture on iPod with iTunes 10.2.2.14

I'm using iTunes 10.2.2.14 on windows xp (service pack3) with iPod classic 80Gb.
In iTunes I have 14.000 songs. Most of them with album illustration.
In iTunes these illustrations are available.
On my iPod I can se the covers
On my iPod Classic in [music] [cover flow] view, I see the album pictures
On my iPod Classic in [music] [[Albums] view, no picture is show at all.
When playing the indivualnumber for each album,
I will NOT see the album cover for the first song in that album
However, I do see the albumcovers for the subsequent numbers.
Missing the album for the first song, I can understand the view-per-album does not show any picture
Mostlikely because it will take the album picture from the first song.
But why is is missing with (all) first songs ?
I checked Itunes; the album cover is there.
I have de-installed en installed iTunes.
I have emptied the iPod.
I have reload all the songs in iTunes.
All without result.
An so strange; the same effect for all albums.
Somebody suggestions what the cause is ?
Or how I can overcome / repair this ?

If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

Every time I eject my Ipod from ITunes 7, it erases everything

Every time I eject my ipod (with clickwheel) from ITunes 7 after updating, it takes a long time, and then when it finally ejects, all my songs are erased from the ipod. When I reconnect to my iBook, I have to restore the ipod... every time!
After the restore, and the whole library is re-copied, the ipod seems to eject itself automatically and is fine. It's only when I reconnect the ipod and try to sync it after I've bought new songs.
Has anyone else had similar problems? Is my ipod just dying, or too old for iTunes 7? Help!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I chose to restore it to factory defaults, but that never succeeded.
It hangs at the end of the process.

Language is Dutch :-)
Littery it says:
Check of Recovery of iPod.
Already for 40 minutes.
I closed down iTunes.
Now, when I turn on my iPod, there is the icon of iTunes with an usb cable towards it.
When I attach it to my computer and turn on iTunes, the message is there that a iPod was stuck in recovery mode and I should retry it.
And then I get the same story. Unpacking, installing, checking... blocked!

Syncing iPod with iTunes fails with error (-69) appears

When syncing my iPod with iTunes an error appears saying syn has failed to "my" iPod due to unknown error (-69). Is there a solution for this problem?

Perhaps a corrupted iPod? Why not try a restore (warning: will erase and then resync everything) and see if that clears it up?

Easier was to authorize iPod with iTunes music?

I posted this on iTunes group on Sat. 9/22, but no answer - so I'll try here -
I have always had my iTunes Music Folder on an external hard drive – when I got my 1st 20 GB iPod, I was using an iMac G3 with a 12GB HD, so I bought an external Firewire HD just for that reason. I have moved this external to an iMac G5, and to my current Power Mac G4 (with major upgrades to processor, video, RAM, etc.), all with no problems. I have upgraded my iPod to a 60GB Color model in between all these moves, and have never had problems associating the iPod with these various computers. I recently (last weekend) upgraded the internal HD on the Power Mac G4, and installed OSX on it – then pointed iTunes to the Music Folder on the external and updated the Library. No problems so far. Then yesterday, I imported 2 new CD’s to iTunes and tried to transfer the new tracks to my iPod – and I get the message about how this iPod is synced to another iTunes Library, and do I want to erase the iPod and sync with this Library. The only thing that has changed is the internal HD with the controlling OS and iTunes (7.4.1 – yeah, I “upgraded”) – the Music Folder is still on the external HD. Isn’t there an easier way to associate the iPod with this new Library other than erasing the iPod and copying back the music? I don’t remember having to do this nonsense in the past with older versions of iTunes. There’s only 2CD’s worth of difference between the Library and the iPod – and the problem for me is this – the Power Mac G4, with all it’s upgrades, is still a USB 1 machine (no problems for most things, like CD & DVD burning and external HD's, since Firewire 400 is more than adequate, but the dock iPods only use USB). Copying 6,000+ songs via USB 1 is going to take all night (plus all the stuff that can go wrong with a file transfer of that duration).
Any ideas?
Robert
Note: the music (the mp3's) have always been on an external drive - and I've never had problems associating the iPod with them before - changing computers, hard drives, etc. The iPod has ALWAYS been associated with these files. Recreating the Music Library (on the local drive) never caused a problem either. Of course, I was using an earlier version of iTunes, not this new "dictatorial" version (where the Library now determines the association) - and as I said, erasing and copying 27+ GB of music on my iPod via USB 1 will take awhile - by my quick calculations - approx. 36 HOURS! 99.9% of this music is from my own CD's (I think that I bought 2 albums and a few songs from iTunes store). The 2 CD's that I want to add to my iPod are mine - I bought them. Why do I have to go through this s**t to get them on my iPod?

It's as easy as it always was; in fact the process is exactly the same as it always has been. The only difference is where you select the iOS device, which in the default view is a button in the header bar, e.g:
Have you tried clicking that? Alternatively, you can go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and the interface will then look almost exactly like in previous versions of iTunes.

I want to register my iPod with iTunes but the registration firm keeps asking for a postcode but there is no field to enter it, although there is an arrow showing where the error is but still no field for entry. Any suggestions how to get past this ?

After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

If anybody could help me out that would be great. Thanks

Hello, cgtyoder.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try resetting the iPod and power cycling your Mac to see if this message disappears. If the issue persists you may need to restore the device to factory settings. The article below will walk you through both these steps.

Trying to sync my iPod with iTunes and I am getting this message:"This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the ipod"... I have deauthorized and reauthorized the account and still getting the same error.

Trying to sync my iPod with iTunes and I am getting this message:"This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the ipod"... I have deauthorized and reauthorized the account and still getting the same error. I have read and followed the instructions in the support article TS1389. I do NOT have an SC info folder at /Users/Shared/ directory to delete.
I just installed Lion yesterday, and am running iTunes 10.4. First attempt to sync since upgrade.
Thanks

Yup,
Me too...this is stupid, stupid, stupid. Just purchased my 200 (ish) mac and now I am told that my new Mac Book pro is not "authorized".
Which if my 200 macs are authorized. Can someone please tell me???
I "deauthorized" my old MBP and still told I cannot use my iPhone with iTunes.
Interesting that my old $2500 MBP, my new $3000 MBP and my $500 iPhone all cannot work cuz of some pinhead's decision to use this assorization process.
Yes I am very, very, very mad.

I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
It is simply a list of songs in the library
Do you want the playlists or not?

Do you want them copied back into iTunes?
