Problems sychronising with my iPod

Help!
My iTunes crashes every time I try to sychronise my iPod. I reckon it must have something to do with all of the other problems people are experiencing - can anyone advise?
This is the second big problem I've had with iTunes and Apple never seem to offer any advice - or apology!

First try the "Five Rs", and then let us know if you are still having problems.

  • Hello, I have a problem 4th with my iPod touch

    Hello,
    I have a problem 4th with my iPod touch
    I just wanted to edit a picture, and then he is always crashed.
    Hope someone can tell me what to do.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Recent problems occurring with new iPod Nanos as well?

    Are the recent problems associated with the iPod firmware version 1.2 occurring with brand new Nanos, or are they only occurring with Nanos that were running previous versions that have been updated to the new version? I've been considering buying a Nano, but may reconsider if the problems are happening with new ones as well.

    I bought a 2GB iPod nano over the weekend. It works great, as long as I don't try to put more than 215 songs on it. iTunes crashes and freezes my iPod every time I try to fill it up more than half way. Every crash requires a hard shut down on my mac and restoration of the iPod.

  • Problem Bug With My Ipod 30Gb Black (5.5g)

    Hello everybody
    j'ai un ipod 30gb black (5.5gb) et j'ai un petit problem pour les vidéos
    j'ai a peux pres 40 clips vidéo donc je lance une pour regarder et apres si je mets une autre ou encore une autre ca bloque et je suis obliger de cliquer sur Centre + Menu pour redemarrer ( tout dépends parfois ca bloque a ma 5 eme lecture de vidéo ou 3eme voir 7 eme )
    je comprends pas d'ou ça vient
    je sais quand il va bloquer, c'est lorsque que quand je monte le volume ou si je l'abaisse, il n'apparrait pas a l'écran mais juste le niveau de batterie
    merci

    just try and try again. geting it intodisc mode (hol menu + select until apple logo) them switchiong to select and play untill white screen apears. eventually itunes recognises it where you an then restore it. then eventually works again. just dont give up when itunes becomes un responsive. it will work after a while. hope this helps someone in the future even though i figured it out for myself lol

  • Problem synchronizing with iPod

    A user is have quite a few problems synchronizing with his iPod.
    He is only able to sync if he logs in as an administrator (he has two accounts on the machine), runs iTunes, cancels the sync (the administrator account doesn't have the music files), closes iTunes, logs on again with his regular account, and opens iTunes again.
    It seems to be a permissions issue, but he does have administrator permissions on the folder when using his regular account.
    How should iTunes be set up so that administrator permissions aren't needed to sync with an iPod?
    In addition, is there a way to update iTunes software via the updater without administrator permissions?

    Is Fast user switching enabled on the PC?
    Checking on this because iTunes doesn't like Fast User Switching on XP or Vista. See:
    iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP and Windows Vista is not supported

  • Two main problems with new iPod Touch

    I received my new iPod Touch 32Gb last week and I've been trying and testing for some days. It's really a nice device, but I've found two big problems with it...
    1.- WiFi connections are extremely unreliable. On my home router it connects and gets the right IP from DHCP but then it gets stuck and can't transfer data. Safari seems to work sometimes, YouTube and maps are almost impossible to use, and other apps works only sometimes.
    I've tryed also on my office WiFi network and it's a little better. But when connection is not used for a minute it gets stucked againg. Then I need to go to settings, switch WiFi off and on again, then works again for some time.
    I've spend days searching on the Internet for a solution and I've found that lots of people has the same problem. It seems iPods have serious problems connecting to some routers and blame the router about this.
    My opinion is that the problem is with the iPod. My router works flawlessly with my two laptop computers, my desktop computer, my PSP, and my HTC PDA. No problems at all. So, where's the problem?
    2.- There's a big problem on iTunes with sync settings. I've noticed that users can select to to transfer the data manually or synch. Then on each tab for media you have individual options. For example I can choose to sync music and photos, but not sync videos and Podcasts.
    The problem is that this don't work at all. I've selected to sync music but not videos but when sync all my videos had been deleted from my iPod.
    I don't see the point on placing independent sync option on iTunes if they don't work at all.

    Sounds like a faulty battery to me. Might need to contact Apple about that.
    As far as the volume, I'm pretty sure, as I just responded to another post, the problem is the software. Any ios version 4.0 and higher, the volume is lower than iPod Touch/iPhones with 3.1.3 and lower. My volume has been lower ever since I upgraded to 4.0 and 4.2, and I've found a lot of other people online complaining about the same thing. I've seen a couple posts where some have said Apple lowered the volume on purpose. I think we just need to complain to them and hope they release an updated ios with the volume raised back to where it was.

  • Very weird problem with my iPod

    I have a 4th generation 40 GB iPod. I have a strange problem happening with my iPod. After it is fully charged I can use my iPod no problems, after what seams a random amount of time the screen seams to freeze and go pixely. The music plays fine but I can't go through any menus. After the battery dies I charge it and the screen is working again fine.
    Any ideas on why and how this happens would be great!

    dk07, glad to know I'm not the only one having this problem. I hope you can get it figured out as well. It is very frustrating.
    Jeff, I appreciate the links, but I've been over those first two quite a few times, with no success. The last one is a bit more interesting though.
    I guess what I mean to ask is; Is it possible that my iPod is actually charging all the way, even if I never get a "plug" icon and the bar never goes above 3/4 on the battery indicator, no matter how long I charge it? Can the battery indicator be 'that' off? I have yet to run into a help topic or tutorial that addresses specifically an iPod (with a brand new battery) never switching to the plug icon or never going beyond a 3/4 bar. I am willing to accept that the battery indicator may be inaccurate as to the actual charge, but the specific issues seem not to be as common as the general one; and that is what bugs me.

  • ITunes not working with new iPod

    After recently getting a new iPod, I cant get it to work.
    The problem is no tin the iPod, Im sure of that. The problem occurs with any iPod on the system.
    The problem is that when the iPod is plugged in, it recognizes it, but not as an iPod. At first we thought it was because of other USB devices on the computer, and removed them. One of the devices was an external hard drive, which has all of my iTunes music on it. We moved the external drive to a different networked computer, and made it a network folder. That way we can access all of our iTunes music from a different computer.
    That works very well...All of our music can play fine, but the iPod is still not recognized. It says that the firmware on the iPod is corrupt, and asks if we want to restore it. Click yes, and we get error 1418.
    How do we fix this?

    hmmmmm. you're not getting the classical symptoms of the following issue. but since the PC is networked to other drives, we'd better check on the possibility from the following document:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

    Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

    Hello,
    I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
    Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

    When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

    Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

  • 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.
