Rating reset when connecting to iTunes

I think the title says it all, I use the highest rating playlist a lot, I also set songs I want to remove to a one star rating while listening to later remove the songs. Now, this doesn't work, everything I've changed is back from where I started when I connect the iPod to iTunes.
Also have other problems with smart playlists not updating but have posted two other posts regarding this here without getting answers.

If you auto-sync, then the ratings should update your library.
If you manually manage the Touch, your ratings will stay local on the Touch and won't transfer to your library (unless you auto-sync and then change to manual mode without deleting the contents from the auto-sync).
So just to be sure, you're looking at the ratings on the Touch and not your library? If the ratings on the Touch really are being blanked out, then you may need to try restoring it (which will erase it). If you still have problems, maybe restore again but set it up as a new iPod (i.e. don't reload your last backup when you restore).

IPhone resets when connected to iTunes

I have had an intermittent problem over the last 5 days with my iPhone 3G locking up and going into an endless loop of restarts. Initially the fault developed when disconnected from everything except the 3G network but now is manifesting particularly when connected to iTunes - it will operate fine when on the 3G network or WiLAN but when connected to iTunes it goes back into the loop of restarts - sometimes but not always.
It does the same when connected to any of my MacBook, iMac or Win XP machines, with different cables on each so I know it is not a desktop or cable issue.
I have tried resets of the phone, restoring the phone, restarting computers, etc. The endless loop can be halted by disconnecting the USB cable, but it returns when reconnected. In Win XP I get an "unknown error" message and a dialogue box that says iTunes is unable to connect to the iPhone " " (which is not my phone name).
All suggestions appreciated, before my employer takes back the trial iPhone and gives me back the old Blackberry.

hi! i'm a brand new iPhone 3G user (8/3). i did the initial install & synch on my laptop last week.
when i connected to my laptop last night, it asked if i wanted to update the software. i said no last night but earlier today say yes. it all seemed to go smoothly until this part where it said "verifying iPhone software" in iTunes. i let that run for 30 min or so but it was holding up everything else on my laptop so i finally disconnected the iphone.
the iphone didnt like that very much. i tried resetting with the power button (top) but nothing changed. when the iphone came on, all i saw was an iTunes icon and the connection cord on the screen. seems like apples way of telling me to re-connect so i connected to itunes again and it told me i'd have to restore everything. i clicked the button and again, it all went along smoothly until the "veryifying iPhone software" message again. i've been sitting in a holding pattern there for over 1 hour now.
i realized about 30 min ago that the iphone wasnt on so i turned it on. it stays on for 10 min or so then shuts off - so i turn it on again.
how can i get out of this holding pattern?

My iPhones me is in recovery mode and won't reset when connected to iTunes

I Recently updated my iPhone to iOS 8 but it has now gone into recovery mode it says to connect it to intunes but when I do it tells me to reset so I try that and it tries to update which it then tells me I can't do until I reset so then I start the process again and click on reset which leads into a never ending cycle

Howdy Jhearmon,
It sounds like your phone is in Recovery Mode and you are having difficulty restoring it with iTunes. That can be pretty frustrating, so I would recommend starting with the troubleshooting in the following article:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
If you are getting a specific error message or error number, I would recommend this article next:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

IPod Crashes/Resets when connected to iTunes

As soon as I connect my 15g touch-wheel to my G4 the iPod icon comes on the desk top for a few seconds and my computer freezes, the iPod resets and goes into scan disk mode. The scan comes up ok and the iPod re sets and scan disk comes up again,repeating the loop. Can iTunes have a corrupt file causing this? I have re installed, re-set and restored to no avail. Prior to this I was getting iTunes to update but it kept freezing at the new songs/cds added.

So you are caught in a loop?
1. Put iPod into disk mode. Set iTunes to not open when the iPod connects. Quit iTunes. Connect the iPod and reformat it. (Disk Utility or Norton [except Tiger]) If you still don't connect, restart your computer with the startup disk and launch Disk Utility. Then connect the iPod (in Disk mode again.)
2. iTunes can have a corrupt file. Find it and delete it.

My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"

My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"...I literally bought some of these songs yesterday on my iPhone and now I can't sync them to my iPad. What is this issue? Usually I would just have to plug either device into iTunes and everything would sync, now nothing new syncs.

On your iPad tap Settings > Store
Switch Books off then back on then reset your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Ipod touch 3rd generation wont turn on or reset or connect to itunes! HELP!?

my ipod touch 3rd generation wont turn on. it wont reset or connect to itunes either and nothing i have tried so far has worked.

i am having the same issure and i did put it into recovery mode and itunes tells me to restore, but when i click restore it tells me that "software for this iphone is not currently available. make sure you have the latest version of itunes and try again" but it's obviously not an iphone.

TS3694 my phone has switched off for the second time this week, however when connecting to itunes the restore process wont complete. the error is 2006 however i have tried a number of USB cords, and none seem to be working.

I am in the noerthern [parts of australia and accessing an apple store is not possiable for another month. this is my only soucrce or telecommunication. please help

This is what it says about error 2006
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

3gs - Buggy Pinch Gesture (when connected to itunes)

Hello,
I think I have found a bug on iPhone OS 3.1.2.
When iPhone is connected to iTunes, the pinch gesture doesn't work correctly (only horizontal pinch works, vertical pinch causes wierd zoom/scrolling behaviour
When iPhone is working on battery or is simply charging from the wall plug there's no problems.
I tried restoring the device but that didn't solve the problem
Anyone else with iphone os 3.1.2 can try this and tell me if it happens?
thanks

My phone zooms normally whether pinching vertically or horizontally (with the phone in vertical or horizontal position) when connected to iTunes. I have to say I never tried this before - the only functions I can see for using the phone connected to iTunes is for syncing/backing up, updating or restoring.
If this is still happening after restoring using a backup, there are corrupted settings in your phone, try the following steps as needed:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone

Since software update, can't see contents of iPod when connected to iTunes

About 2 days ago, when I connected my iPod to my pc (iTunes), it said there were some software updates for my iPod so I downloaded them and the iPod rebooted itself. Once it came back up, my iPod showed up in iTunes under "devices" on the left hand sidebar. I got the registration page - I usually click register later, but nothing happened this time. It didn't bring me into my iPod. So I tried to Register. I could get so far, then it asked if I wanted some free movie or something, I said NO THANKS, CONTINUE, but nothing happened. I wasn't registered AND I couldn't access my iPod. I can see my iPod under My Computer. I can see "sandra's iPod" uder devices in iTunes. BUT, I can't get to the content when connected to iTunes. All of my stuff is there on the iPod. I can play my iPod when it's not connected to iTunes - but I can't see the content, manipulate playlists, delete songs, etc. when connected to iTunes. I am almost positive this is a result of the latest software updates to the iPod. I have not updated iTunes - I didn't want to and compound the problem. I'm not a techy person - so please be gentle! Thank you. Sandra

Resolved at home.

Itunes 11.1 is for your computer, not your iphone
It is required in order to sync with ios 7.

Trying to activate my iphone 5. when connected to itunes its says i need version 10.7. but when i try to update, it says that im current at 10.6.3.

trying to activate my iphone 5. when connected to itunes its says i need version 10.7. but when i try to update, it says that im current at 10.6.3.

iTunes version 10.7 requires at least Mac OS X version 10.6.8 if you're running a Mac, or Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later if you're running Windows.
Is your computer up-to-date enough for iTunes 10.7?

Try here:
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert
If not successful see the previous discussion on the right side of this page with the green checkmark.

You say you have iOS 7 beta. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum
iOS 7 Developer forum- Apple Developer
Otherwise you are on your own since you have a bootleg copy

Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

Not the iPad - your computer must be running iTunes 10.7 in order to sync. It has nothing to do with iTunes on the iPad.
You can download iTunes for your computer here.
