Ready to break the iPod...or something.

I'm ready to just throw it out the window.

Basically my iPod showed the folder with the exclamation point. I was suggested that it may need to be updated and to download the update 2005-10-12, I did. After that was all said and done I hooked my iPod up to my computer on a high speed 2.0 USB port as it requests and when it requested and it started up the "Do Not Disconnect" screen except this time it was in black and white (my iPod is a 30 GB Photo) - then after about 20 seconds it flips back the the Apple Logo then a window pops up saying "Can't Mount iPod"....I don't know what I am doing wrong. I've restarted - connected to the internet and have looked for the answers and still no one can answer me. I'm very frustrated...I only bought it 8 months ago.

    I was sycing my ipod with my computer to get a new album and itunes prompted me saying that there was a previous account for the ipod or something and if I should carry on and deletle it or cancel the sync. I wanted the album so I clicked carry on and delete the account. When I checked my ipod afterwards all almost all of my music was gone exept for what I had just downloaded. This was thosands of songs that I had carefully picked over the years and now they are all gone. Someone please help me!!!

    Get all that music back in itunes and sync again.

  • Ready to throw the ipod through nearest window

    I am at my wits end with this thing. It started out so good. Everything seemed to work. My 15 year old did all the installs got the itunes running, loaded tons of music, etc.
    Then, suddenly, itunes no longer updates the ipod when you connect it.
    I have tried: resetting it both connected and unconnected to the computer; updating ipod s/w; updating itunes s/w; lost count of the restarts on the PC... am sick of reading through documentation trying to find some inkling of why the sudden bs.
    I plug it in, and it fires up itunes, but itunes never has 'my ipod' show up in the source list. 'My Computer' will show the ipod listed for a while, then it goes away.
    over and over and over... no matter what I try.

    Nettie,
    Just remember what you did to get it to work, because it seems that every other time I try to add music from Itunes I have to go through something. I'm glad it helped.
    And I also take issue with Apple because from all I've read they seem to think these problems are an isolated incident. I love my Ipod but when this one is obsolete I'm looking into the Dell mp3 player because they at least have customer service that acknowledges issues. I would not have been so crazy if someone would just acknowledge that I'm not going crazy and there is a problem with the mp3 player and they are working to solve it. Say something! Don't igore us. That is going to lose you valuable customers.

  • Why the iPod has something black beside the camera

    Hhh

    What, in this picture, (on the iPod Touch Tech Specs page)?
    As it says, it's a microphone.

  • Putting photos on the ipod

    Hi everyone, i currently have iphoto synced with itunes so that my albums go onto my ipod. The photos generally look very good on the ipod. But when i hook up my ipod through the a/v kit to view a slideshow through the big screen HD TV some photos look alright, well others just loook god awfull. What am i doing worong, and how do i correct it? Also is there anyway to make an actual slideshow and put it on the ipod. Something where i can already have music pre-set up for that particular set of photos?
    Thanks in advance!

    To load full-resolution image files onto iPod:
    1 In iTunes, select iPod in the Source pane and click the Photos tab.
    2 Select “Include full-resolution photos.”
    3 Click Apply.

    I have not tried this yet, but try making a slide show in iPhoto - then see if it shows up in the source list in iTunes... you may be able to sync it... not sure :%

  • More on the ipod skipping phenomenon

    I have some rather strange behaviors occuring. I looked to see if this had come up here before, but I couldn't find this exact diagnosis.
    Until recently (possibly the very latest upgrade of OS X 10.4.7 or iTunes 6.0.5 [20]) everything was fine. Now I have a problem. When I plug my ipod into my G4 powerbook and play songs from my ipod over Airtunes the songs skip randomly, like a dirty CD skipping. Most songs simply don't play through to the end at all.
    BUT there is no problem with the ipod itself. If I play the playlist direct via my earphones, or into my speaker system direct, instead of through iTunes / Airtunes, there is no problem — no skipping, nothing.
    So this issue is something to do with the interface now between my computer and the ipod, or something in iTunes or something to do with Airtunes.
    I'll be darned if I can work it out! No resetting procedures seem to make any difference, nor does a computer reboot.
    Any suggestions???
    Again, the ipod is fine. No problems. DiskUtility gives it a clean bill of health. It's only when I try to play songs on it via iTunes and my computer (via the firewire connection) over Airtunes.
    Any help much appreciated

    I have a similar problem when I try listening directly to the iPod. When I select a song it will then skip randomly to another song before the one I selected starts playing? Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

  • My mom put my ipod 5th gen in the house somewhere and it was turned off. It is connected to the internet in the house. How do i turn it on with the Findmyiphone or something else? It was an expensive gift and we can't find it now! Please help!

It was an expensive gift and we can't find it now! Please help! How do i turn it on without finding it because she can't remember where it was.

    That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
    Thank you for your replys

    any thoughts anyone??

    Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
    I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

  • HT1369 Something has happened to the iPod sync process.   After updating iTunes SW, I can no longer sync my iPod.  iTunes recognizies teh device but the sync is always gray.  Windows controls teh device not iTunes.  I have gone through all of the diagnost

    When I run diagnostics, the iPod is not recognized.  This occurs on both of my PCs, Desktop and Laptop.  The device is a 4th Gen iPod.  Always worked in the past until I updaetd iTunes.  Anyone have this issue and solved it?

    Disregard this... I found the issue.  I have AirWatch MDM installed.  For some reason, the restrictions blocked me from syncing videos.  I don't know how that happened being that I am the Admin for the AirWatch MDM at my company - I made sure i allowed everything possible being that its configured for BYOD.  I guess something with the update to 8.0.2 screwed with it somehow.  It worked fine after uninstalling the AirWatch Profile and MDM. 

  • How do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    how do i get itunes or any other program for ipod to play one song and then stop instead of contiuing playing. I need it to be in the same playlist and ready to play the next song when I press play?

    Good luck.  I tried to do this to cue sound effects for a theater, and never found anything.  iTunes will definitely *not* do this, nor was I able to find any player that would play one song at a time in a single playlist. 
    In my case, I ended up using AutoHotkey to tie individual tracks to the keys on an external keypad. This was an excellent solution for my problem, but I don't think AHK runs on Macs.
    One workaround is to make a folder, and fill it with *shortcuts* to the songs you want (ie, the actual files).  You can change the names to start with numbers to get them in the right order.  Then if you double-click on one it will play just that song.  You'll still have to double-click on each song.
    Might be a good time to learn AppleScript   It would  also be pretty easy to write a Java app to do this.

    You're not confusing this with a shared Photo Stream...?
    Because the short answer is no, photos don't appear unless they were put there by someone with your Apple ID credentials. To rule out that possibility, change your Apple ID password by carefully following all these instructions:
    iCloud: Change your iCloud account password
    If you decide to change your password, and you also want to change your Apple ID, I recommend you do not concurrently change your Apple ID until sufficient time has passed and you are confident the password change has been effected on all your iOS devices. 24 hours ought to be more than enough.
    It is not necessary to change your Apple ID unless it is an email address you no longer wish to use.

  • My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio books it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something . What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

    My iMac was synchronised to my iPod in the store I purchased it. When I purchase an audio book it is not synching accross to the iPod. Am I missing something ? What would happen if I use the 'sync' button again?

    Yes. Other things have synced including books, but I don't know how these happened. According to the 'audible' instructions it should happen automatically, but it doesn't.

    My Ipod is to break, the window is to crack  what is that if I send it has apple it are going me to send the other one free?

    Of course it will not be free.
    You can pay Apple or another provider to repair it.

  • I have the 4th generation iPod touch and my friend changed the iPod passcode and she cant remember it. Im on the iPod, Im not locked out. Im wondering if there is a way to change the passcode from inside the ipod settings or something?

    My friend cant remember the password. Can I change it from inside the iPod settings or something?

    Your friend could only have changed it if they had your original passcode - you have to be able to enter the current passcode to change it to a new one.  Once you restore it now, I would then change it and NOT give it out to people.
    P.S. if you have a backup from when it still had your passcode on it, just restore from that backup and it should set the passcode back to what you had.
    Without that backup, you will have to restore as new, and set everything up again from scratch.
