***Solution to all the problems everyone has been seeing***

So I got my iPod touch yesterday and I have been having the same problems as everyone else is. I talked to an apple genuis at the apple store and figured everything out. He didnt know the answer right off the bat, but after hooking up the iPod to his mac and discovering that syncing works perfectly, I tried it on my HP PC. Again, it didnt work - I kept getting all the errors again and again like before. I would get about 17 songs transferred and it would stop. So...I figured out that the only thing that works is when the iPod is totally restored, then I had to manually drag each album from the library to the iPod icon. I know this sounds crazy and like it would take forever, but one of the problems I was having is that my artwork was getting swapped with other albums to which they didnt belong. My method made it so that when the error came up, I only had to disconnect the iPod and reconnect it in order to have the correct album artwork and everything. As far as movies, good luck. They are too big to maintain a constant stream for a period of time long enough to get the entire thing on the iPod.
Apple will come out with a patch, they have to. The iPod touch obviously takes a little more power than the USB ports can put out and that has to be fixed. As for me, I want a mac now.
Also, if anyone has tried putting a movie on their iPod touch and it stops, but when you click on the icon it still shows orange usage for something you dont know what it is, please let me know if you know why this is happening. I dont know how to get if off and I dont feel like doing all the dragging again.
I hope this has helped the TONS of people with my same problem.

I agree with the last post. Although what "anketchum" offered was a band-aid "solution" it is of course not an actual solution. The solution, like he said, has to come from Apple in the form of a patch. I have tried disconnecting all my USB ports and having ONLY the Ipod on it. Same thing. I have to keep ejecting and connecting the iPOD to get another 20 songs till it gives me the error message again. I am only writing this to be yet another voice shouting out to Apple to solve this issue. Not everyone using a PC will choose to get a MAC. Some might choose to give up on Apple products altogether (although I really don't want to!). Apple ... please please fix the issue. This is my 2nd iPOD touch (had to get my first one replaced. Instore "geniuses" didn't know anything!

  • Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router

    Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router. However they all show to be connected with their corresponding bars and the ip's are all fine. Earlier today it started flucuating on and off about every 5 min making work impossible and now it seems to be completely broken (im currently on my iphone connected though its own internet) Does anyone know how or ehy this happened and how i can fix this? And to know if this originates from the router or something else entirely. Thank you!

    Hi - some clarifications would help narrow down some symptoms - just what has been turning off? - has the light been solid green but the modem isn't providing wi-fi? - or is the light flashing yellow with no internet? - which can mean several things - does the light go out completey? - so if you can report on exactly what is happenening and when, maybe someone can help you - we also need to know if there any error messages along the way -  we also need the types of devices involved and how they are attached - kind of like a nework map  - the more info that you provide, the more answers you will get.

  • When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem " This has been going on for several days, I've had to go back IE to access web pages

    When I click onto the firefox webbrowser, I get the message "firefox has stopped working, windows will close the application to find a solution to the problem."

    I had this exact same problem.  I found this fix and it worked for me. 
    Step 1:
    Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. 
    Step 2:
    Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
    Good Luck.

  • How do I stop I cloud from up grading all the time, it has been 48 hours and still upgrading. Not able to stop it, Help

    Need help stopping I cloud upgrading the past 48 hours.

    Something has gone wrong, on an iPhone 3Gs the erase all operation should be instantaneous. Disconnect your phone & force it into recovery mode:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

  • The Answer Everyone Has Been Waiting for...

    Well, Here's the answer everyone wants!!!!!!
    I took my brand-spanking new unibody MacBook Pro 17" machine into Apple. This is what came back:
    "Ran Battery diagnostic and both the battery and AC adapter tested fine. Did a bit of digging and there are many customers having this issue since upgrading to Snow Leopard. The 10.6.1 update hasn't solved the and the only solution presented so far is to downgrade back to the original 10.5 system that the machine shipped with. He will need to downgrade from the original system discs that shipped in the box with the machine. Since this is a software issue, it unfortunately isn't covered under warranty."
    So, the you know what to do when the next person tells you it's just your battery!

    When I fill up the car the tank is past full on the gauge and I drive alot before the gauge moves...although not accurate it gives a person a sense of getting more, When you purchase a new high tech lith poly powered notebook a person would like to see full 100% reached for a few months anyway, even if 1-2% charge is in Apple's favor. Again that warm feeling even though not exactly accurate. After several hours of use I wouldn't realize a few minutes of charge. But I sure notice those minutes off the top (99%. After 3 complete cycles I only reach 99%. I don't know about you but that seems odd.
    I've also used Windows notebooks that say 99%. In my experience it is normal.
    If you know anything about how li-ion must be charged, you'd know that 99% is normal because you just can't trickle-charge these things. I know what you're getting at with the car tank analogy but technically speaking, that is a completely wrong way of understanding how a li-ion battery works. Neither the drain nor the charge is linear in the way that draining or filling a tank of liquid is.

  • How do I access all the information that has been backed up on icloud?

    I backed up my informaiton to icloud.  My ipad is no longer working (due to an accident).  How to I access all the data I stored on icloud from my regular PC?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't, backups are for restoring an iOS device.

  • TS1398 My iPhone 4 is connected to wi-fi when i am home, but when i leave, i do not get any of my whatssapp messages. When i get back home again I get all the messages that has been send through the day. We do have 3G on network. Why is this?

    MY iPhone4 is connected to wi-fi, and all is fine at home. When i leave home, i do not get any of my whatsapp messages. When i return home, i get all the messages than was send during the day. Why does my phone not use the cellular network to get my whatsapp messages as my Nokia N8 did?
    This is my first iPhone, so i am having some troubles setting everything up!

    Please make sure that you are connected to the internet. There sould be a "3G or LTE or 4G or E symbol on the top left corner of the screen, if data is available to you.
    Whatsapp uses data services to send and receive messages. You need to be connected to the internet for that.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Go to Settings>Store and sign out of the account and then sign back in.

  • Is there an update forthcoming to 4.0 to fix all the problems? Since it's installation, my PC operation has slowed to a crawl and I'm experiencing numerous "unresponsive script" and "low virtual memory" messages.

    My PC was running fine before 4.0, and since then it is as described above. Almost thought this was a virus masquerading as a legit update (has happened to me before). Will there be an update to fix all the problems that have been reported, or do I have to bring in the Geek Squad to replace Firefox with Explorer?

    Lord K.  Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple. I was just at the Genius Bar in Chicago and they said, don't worry about it.  It just floats out there, however, I can not recover my messages on a flash drive. I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me.  My messages were in folders for a lawsuit.  It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea.  We are talking thousands of pages!  I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried.  However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part.  THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

  • The project file ' ' has been renamed or is no longer in the solution.

    Hello Folks:
       Developing on Win 8.1 Pro, Visual Studio 2010 Pro, C++.
       I'm revisiting a project I haven't touched in over 2 years. 
       Attempts to build result in a pop up displaying this error:
          The project file ' ' has been renamed or is no longer in the solution.
       And the build terminates. 
       Things might have changed in the underlying static libraries used by other projects. 
          I've looked through the Solution Explorer and the project's properties "Framework and References" window but I don't see anything with such an odd name. 
       How do I resolve this problem?
          Thanks
          Larry

    Some other things to try:
    1. Reload each project in the solution (Right-click/Unload Project; Right-click/Reload project).  See if any of them has an issue reloading.
    2. If you have multiple projects in the solution: Make a copy of the solution and load the copy.  Go in Build Dependencies and uncheck all.  Now build each project individually and see which one has the problem.  (Some of them might not link
    due to missing libraries, but that's OK.  You just want to see that the build starts).  Double-check which configuration Visual Studio picks when it builds each project; if they are not all the same, the problem is with the project configurations.
    3. Load the solution file with the XML editor.  (Make sure no other Visual Studio instance has the solution open when you do this).  Check each Project line for oddities, specifically, empty or mangled names, or missing project files.  Also
    check the Configurations.  It could be that the problem project doesn't have an equivalent configuration to the one you are building.  Sometimes the configuration definitions in the solution file get messed up.

  • A problem with the cooling system has been detected

    I bought a new computer not to long ago, I've had it for almost a month now. It runs fine, and I've had no problems until not too long ago. I was playing a game, and I got a random error message: "A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immdiately, and return it for service." I don't understand how or why this came up, and I don't have any money to return it for any type of repairs. After I got this message, I left my computer off for about an hour. All seems well so far. Any suggestions?

    What laptop do you have?

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    Then
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?
