Restart iPod lose preferences

Hi,
my ipod frozen and I have to restart, but problem is when restart my iPod so all preferences is losed. I try make restore, then restart and preferneces losed again. Do you know why after restart my iPod losed preferences?
Thanks Jan
My iPod is iPod Photo with 40GB

A restore will lose the preferences because you are returning the iPod to it's factory default settings.
With a reset Apple says this: "When you reset iPod all your music and files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost. Date and time is preserved (unless the iPod reset itself because it had no power and then was reconnected to power). Other customized settings, such as Bookmarks, On-The-Go Playlists, Shuffle, Backlight timer, and so forth are preserved from the last time the hard drive turned on."
So I guess it depends on what settings you are losing.

My itunes library has gone following a laptop rebuild. I do have my iPod which is up to date - can I transfer from the iPod to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I snyc?

My itunes library has gone and is empty following a laptop rebuild. I do have my iPod which is up to date with music, photos, apps etc - can I transfer from the iPod Touch to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I sync to the laptop? PLEASE HELP!

I'm guessing you've got iPod touch 2nd generation
iPod touch 2nd generation only goes up to 4.2.1, so you'll need a newer generation...
iPod touch 3rd generation only goes up to 5.1.1
4th and 5th generation both go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the current latest version.
Hope this helps

While updating ipod touch 4 i got an error message now stuck with apple symbol and empty bar. can i restart ipod?

while updating ipod touch 4 i got an error message now stuck with apple symbol and empty bar. can i restart ipod?

- What was the error message?
- Try closing iTunes and then disconnect the iPod from the computer. Then reconnect the iPod. If the iPod shows in iTunes then you can try again. However, You should try to resolve the error message first.
- If iTunes does not see the iPod try reetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- I recommend that you come back with the what the error message said and the condition of the iPod and if it is visible in iTunes.

HT3728 every time my iMac sleeps or restarts it loses the connection to airport express and i must reset and connect with router via ethernet cable.

Every time my imac sleeps or restarts it loses the wireless connection with my airport express (used for streaming music). I then have to disconnect the airport express from my stereo, bring it to my router, connect it to my router with ethernet cable and reset the wireless connection. Even with my airport express in the same room as my router Airport Utility cannot find it until i plug in an ethernet cable, so i do not think this is an issue with my wireless network. Router is a newer netgear.

If you transfer any iTunes content to the iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided indicating this beforehand.
Authorize the different computer with your Apple ID with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, right click on the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer all apps on your iPhone to the iTunes library.

Macbook re-opens closed programs on restart also lose track pad preferences

I have a couple of problems with my Macbook Pro (2.53mhz Core 2 Duo, running Mountain Lion) which I think maybe related.
1/ After restart Excel, Chrome, Photoshop, Finder and System Preferences all open up even though I have close all these programs before the restart. It's as if the computer has remembered a time when the battery ran out or it was shut down with all these programs open, and keeps reverting back to this. I can't figure out how to make it restart without all these programs opening up again.
2/ I lose my trackpad setting after restart, specifically tap to click, (I've read a few posts on this and none of the fixes i.e changing Read/Write in home folder, deleteing pref files in library etc, have worked so far) this is really annoying as the trackpad is failing so I have to click it really hard to make it work, if the tap to click is disabled, as it always is after restart,
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Ipod restarts & restarts, never loses apple icon..

Does anyone know if this means the drive is dead? I do not get the sad mac or the exclaimation folder. Is there a way to back it up before I send it back? This is only a bit over a year old, and it seems like these ipods are made to be disposable. To spend $400-500 on something that never makes it to be 2 years old is ridiculous. It has never been dropped or mishandled. This is something like my 5th ipod. I am covered by a the applecare protection, but when it runs out and the REPLACEMENT they send me breaks next year, I think I am gonna drop out of the ipod business. Please make a sturdier machine!

Thank you for your help. I was able to restore my ipod using this method. Unfortunately, I had to sacrifice all my files. Poor, poor ipod...So sensitive...
Thanks again for the info

Restart Ipod without sync? Please help!

Last week, I had a crash on my ibook, so I had to restart the operating system and the programs. This means that the itunes library is now empty, as well as iphoto. My ipod (5th gen) is full of music, spoken books and photos. I am very afraid to connect himnow to itunes, then I think there were will be automaticaly a sync and I will lose everything.

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button:
Managing content manually on iPod
iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
iPodRip Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
iPodAccess Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows
PodUtil Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

3G iPod loses all of its settings if untouched for a day or more

I have a 15GB third generation iPod that works fine except for one thing -- when I let it sit for about 36 hours and it goes into "deep sleep" mode, it loses all of its settings and it asks me to choose a language when I press a button to turn it back on. All settings are lost but data (songs) are intact. This drives me nuts because I don't like the default settings (no backlight, stupid clicking sound, no clock in header, etc.). I read about this problem a long time ago but I can't find a solution now. Can anybody help me?
By the way, I already updated the firmware to the latest (as of June 15, 2006) and I sync with a Mac mini.

Nice avatar, Lyssa. Good advice, too, although it's really just a workaround for the real problem. I've been trying to wake the thing manually each day but sometimes I forget. This empty playlist will work until I can fix the problem. Does anyone else have a suggestion?
By the way, if you're wondering why I don't just use the iPod every day it's because I'm giving it away and have a different iPod I use myself. I used this one every day for almost three years and now I'm giving it to my mother so it's just sitting on a shelf until I see her next. I want to wow her with all of the iPod's coolness but if the thing resets all the time like a dumb Windows computer, she won't be impressed.

Can't restart ipod classic.

When I plugged my iPod classic into my Mac this morning to update my newest songs, it said "Battery very low." I suppose that could be, but it would be unusual. I'm pretty religious about keeping my iPods charged.
It's been charging for a couple of hours now, but still won't restart. I can hear the drive spinning up and down ...the Apple logo flashing on for a few seconds, then goes away.
I've tried rebooting a couple of times, but I can't tell if it's actually rebooting, or just spinning off and on like it's been doing while it's charging.
I don't know what to try next.

Hi b.lindstrom,
If you are seeing the Red X on your iPod, then try putting your iPod into Disk Mode and then restore it within iTunes. If that does not work, then you will need to setup service on your iPod. The article below will have more information to help you out.

Constantly restarting Ipod

Hello,
I've searched past threads looking for some help with this and so far I've found little information. Has anyone found anyway to solve this problem? After disconnecting my ipod from my computer it just started restarting itself and now it won't stop. I've tried holding down the select and menu button, as well as the play/pause and menu button, and nothing. Anyone have any info? Thanks
