Sync and Disconnect Problems

After recent I-Tunes update, I-pod nano 3rd generation says it is syncing and then automatically disconnects and prevents another sync from occurring because of the message that "I-Pod cannot be found." Restarting computer and reopening I-Tunes does solve the problem. Resetting the I-pod did not solve the problem. New music can be added to any previously created playlist that I had created that shows up on the computer; however, any new playlist, along with any music added to the new playlist, will not sync and show up on the handheld i-pod. This only began occurring after the recent I-Tunes update. Sorry I ever did the update. It's been time consuming searching for a solution when the problem is on the end of the new update.

Does Apple care about it customers?
Too many customers having I-Pod problems and glitches that Apple does not appear to be addressing.
Looks like they only care about the initial purchase and leave their customer out in the desert for any problems that are created by their updates!

  • Syncing and Charging Problem with 1st gen iPod nano

    I purchased a 1st generation iPod nano via eBay about 3 months ago and have developed an interesting syncing and charging problem.  When I plug the nano to my iMac, frequently neither the computer nor iTunes will recognize it.  I have done "the five R's" with occasional success.  I've tried jiggling the cable in the computer port and sometimes it works in getting iTunes to recognize the nano, sometimes it doesn't.  Even when I am able to get iTunes to recognize the nano, I have frequently found that the nano hasn't charged up at all.  In fact, a couple of times I found it almost totally drained of power after having been connected to my computer.  Yes, I have the most recent version of iTunes installed on my iMac and my iMac, by the way, is relatively new - having been purchased in May of this year.  What is interesting is that I've taken my nano to work and it has absolutely no problem charging up on my Dell (yuk!).  For the record, I do not have iTunes installed on my work computer and I am not allowed to add any apps to my work computer without the consent of my supervisor.  The chances of getting iTunes installed on my Dell at work are pretty much nil.  Any suggestions on how I can fix the problem?

    I bought a new USB dock connector and hoped, with fingers and toes crossed, that something positive would happen.  Sure enough, I was able to sync and recharge my old iPod nano.  I guess the original USB dock cable is on its last legs.  Not totally broken, but no longer reliable.  I consider my problem solved!    My thanks to everyone who took the time to read and try to solve my iPod problem.  I greatly appreciate it! 

  • Ipon nano 3rd generation red. Sync and storage problems.

    I have just got the new iPod nano (product red) 8 GB capacity. When i started to sync with my Intel Macbook i got suprised with a sync and storage problem. It starts syncing and suddendly it stops and lock the iPod and the Itunes. The must surprising is that happens every time the storage capacity reaches about 300 mb of music. Does anybody got this kinf of problem?
    I have tried all the solutions I have found: formatting the iPod, connecting on a PC, restoring the factory settings and nothing works.

    You'll want to copy what is currently on the Nano to your iTunes library on the laptop.  Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Sync and Wifi problem (iphone 3G 3.0)

    So I've been updated to 3.0 since launch day, and I've been having these problems.
    First, when I plug my phone into my pc to sync, sometimes (more often than not) just disconnects and reconnects in a loop, and will do so until I unplug it. I've tried every port in my pc, and it still does it. I switched it to my laptop, and no problems. I've reinstalled itunes and the mobile device drivers, and can't think of what else I can do to fix it.
    The other problem is that my phone won't stay on wifi when it is connected. It will continually switch on and off, and my browser and apps will tell me that I don't have a connection to the internet, even if I have 3g service while the wifi is disabled. Just started doing that with 3.0. I've reset my phone, powered on and off, and factory restored it twice. Not sure what else I can do, thanks!

    Restored my phone again, still no change.

  • BB really slow and disconnection problems. Prepari...

    Hi all
    I've been having recent problems with my BB connection which resulted in a visit from an engineer last week. The engineer checked the master box and found no issues. He advised that I replace the cable connecting the hub to the master box as he thought it could be damaged and leading to the problem.  
    I've replaced the cable and microfilters throughout, reset the hub, moved the hub, tried wired and wireless connection, changed channels but I'm still getting really poor speeds and disconnections and its become totally unusable. I cant obtain a result from the BTspeedtest application as it continually says an error has occurred during the test (when I can get online at all).
    If I can get online when I get home I'll post up my exact hub stats. From memory the hub has remained connected for around 50hrs and the speeds are upstream 480kbps downstream 438kbps.
    Finally, in readiness for the 2nd engineer on Friday is there anything I should do, for example should I connect the hub to the test port on the master socket?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Ok folks,
    after removing the hub from the main BT socket (NTE5?) and connecting the hub directly to the test port I get an immediate improvement in download speeds. Stats below.
    What should my next course of action be, does that mean the socket is faulty or is something off somewhere else?
    BTspeedtest still shows the following error when I attempt a speedtest
    The Performance Tester could not perform Assured Rate throughput test , Please try again later.

  • Syncing and recognition problems

    When trying to sync my iPhone as usual my Mac does now not recognise my iPhone. When I put in my password the Mac accepts the iPhone, tells me it is already registered, then stops the sync and tells me the iphone is not recognised again. What should I do?

    Thanks navhari but that did not do it. I wonder whether the problem relates to the fact that my wife also uses the Mac with her iphone sometimes. We have existed like this for ages but this is a new problem today. When asked to register my iphone her itunes account address pops up, not mine, so I change the address to my own and try to log in ar described above.

  • Serious M-Audio Profire 610 sync and dropout problem

    After an, over a month, waiting for a solution to the problem from m-audio, I have to post the problem to the community:
    I m using an early 2009 8-core MAC PRO with M-Audio Profire 610, using it for video editing with Final Cut Pro (and sound design with Pro Tools).
    The problem is that since I've  updated the machine to 10.6.7,  I m experiencing VIDEO dropouts in Final Cut, the very first playback seconds of EVERY video track (on every codec) that I try to preview and at any point of it.
    Also, occasionally, the audio-video sync is lost and I have to pause-play in order to gain the sync back on..
    When I switch the audio output to Built in audio or Display audio, the dropout and sync problem disappears. When I switch back to Profire 610 the dropout starts again.
    The video and audio settings and the tracks encoding are the same for at least 2 years now, since I m working ALLWAYS with my P2 panasonic DCVPROHD camera, with which I have shot and edit in my MAC PRO multiple videos, including a feature film..
    I have tested the problem on two Macbook pros (early 2007) that I use for the shootings and the problem is there also !(when I plug the Profire 610)
    The last think that I 've tried on my main unit, was:
    -do a zero data format to my vertex 2 ssd boot drive,
    -do a clean install of Snow Leopard (10.6.0)
    -restore the system from a time machine backup (the os still remains 10.6.0)
    -run 10.6.6 combo update
    -uninstall the profire driver
    -repair permissions
    -install the profire driver (for 32 bit 10.6.6)
    -repair permissions.
    The problem's still here.
    I m stuck with my projects here… Is there a solution out there?
    Thank you very much for the attention
    Diamantis

    So, to be clear, it happens when the FirePro 610 in connected, and does not happen when it's diconnected?
    That is obviously directly related to the FirePRo 610 having some hardware latency issues on an OS level.  That's up to M-Audio to fix.  There was never anything wrong with your Mac, there's something wrong with the M-Audio unit, obviously.
    Do you have a FW hard drive plugged in?  If so, will it work correctly without any other FW devices connected?
    It could be defective.

  • Massive Sync and Restore Problem

    When I went to sync my 5G iPod Video (version 1.2.1) to my iTunes (7.3.2.6 WinXP), it gave me the following error message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." My iPod was never placed in recovery mode to begin with. I restored my iPod as requested, and I recieved the exact error mesge again. And I repeated this process once more, referred to the Support page, and nothing else seems to work. Now, my iPod has no media and will not sync. I have scanned all files for corruption, and none detected.
    To let you know about my computer, I've been modifying the overall appearance to become Mac OS X Tiger. I wouldn't think this would effect this too much, since I haven't touched a single app.
    HELP!!!!!!!

    You are caught in a restore loop. With the exception of your iPod (connected to a rear port), mouse and keyboard, disconnect from any network you are a part of and disconnect all other USB devices including external hard drives, thumb drives, modems, printers, scanners, etc. and change the drive letter of the iPod to something much higher, like M or P or Z:

  • Sync and user problems

    Hello,
    Because I needed to Bootcamp my mac I had to reinstall my OSX system.
    Oke, no problem I had a back up with Time-Machine.
    So I reinstalled my mac and I aks for Time machine to put everything back on the system.
    After it was completed it asked me to restart my computer. When I did there came a message "restart your computer" and it keeps repeating itself so i can't do anything.
    (I reinstalled it again and it worked fine but when I wanted to put it again on the system it failed again.)
    So I wanted to fix it manual by dragging my programs, but that doesn't work either because I have no permission to acces my files. Because I had to make a new user account.
    (I really don't see what's the point when you can't put your files on a new system/computer.)
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    thanks,
    kama

    Your backups may be damaged/corrupted.
    Try to repair them, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    If that finds and fixes problems, try the restore again.
    If not, your best bet may be to do an +Erase and Install+ of Leopard from the Install disc, then use +Setup Assistant+ when your Mac restarts, per #19 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    Then download and install the the "combo" update. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

    i keep trying to get sync and connect to work and it keeps giving me the same error
    "We are currently unable to complete your request, please try again later. If you continue to get this message please contact technical support at support.vzw.com "
    i have a verizon blitz as the phone and i running backup assistant too. thanks

    Hello Ohefoeshow,
    Are you using your device to try to activate the Sync and Connect?  If so, you will need to do so from a computer at the designated website.  The Blitz is not Sync and Connect compatible.  You can navigate to www.vzw.com/sync to set up and manage the program.  Once you sign into your My Verizon site at the link above it will automatically prompt you to agree to the terms and conditions and begin the process of setting up you email account(s).  Please let me know if you have any additional questions.   Thank you. 

  • IPod syncing and disconnecting errors

    I have had my 80GB iPod Classic for about a year and a half. About 6 months ago, whenever I would connect my iPod to my PC, this error would pop up: "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occurred (-48)."
    Despite this message, I can still buy and put music, movies, etc. on my iPod, but the cover art for the music, movies, etc. would be blank. It has been a little annoying and I tried to fix it by unchecking the box for displaying album artwork and then checking it back. After I did this, the artwork on all of my music, movies, etc are blank now.
    And whenever I click disconnect to eject my iPod, the following message pops up: "The iPod cannot eject because it contains files that are in use in another application."
    I have a feeling these two problems are related. I just am asking how to get my iPod in working shape? If I reset my iPod to its original settings, will it delete all of my music and movies off the iPod and then sync it with my current iTunes library?
    If so, I will not restore to its original settings because I have movies and music on my iPod that are not in my library because I deleted them of my hard drive to save some space. Thanks for taking your time to read my problem and hopefully someone has an idea or experienced this before. If it cannot be fixed, I don't really care as long as my iPod plays my music and movies, but it would be nice to see the album artwork for my music once and a while. Thanks.

    It seems your best bet would be to restore your iPod. However, you would lose everything currently on the iPod - restoring wipes everything, then re-installs the operating system.

  • Software upgrade, sync and performance problems.

    When upgrading to the new iPhone software 4.0. on my iPhone 3G all my pictures captured on my iPhone during the last year has disappeared.
    No backup is available in iTunes and the previous upgrades did NOT delete any content in the iPhone. Why did this change and how do I get the pictures back??
    The phone is also gradually getting slow - opening a text message takes 5-8 sec this is also not acceptable.
    I am a big Apple fan and has been very happy the last 6 years but the iPhone is currently not a product I would recommend to anyone. I also don't recommend SW upgrading since performance keeps going down with the introduction of fancy new features.
    Any help/suggestions is appreciated, thanks

    Not sure why the photos in the Camera Roll are not included with your iPhone's backup, which has nothing to do with installing the firmware update. This means something was wrong with the backup for your iPhone. I didn't lose any data on my 3G when installing 4.0, but I always import the photos in the Camera Roll especially before installing a firmware update.
    Although photos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup or should be, so is a significant amount of other data. Photos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup and your iPhone alone for this data which can be lost or stolen. I've always imported photos from every digital camera I've used and the same with my iPhone's digital camera, which should be treated the same as any other digital camera for a number of reasons.
    Contacts are also included with your iPhone's backup or should be, but contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer and should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or with or without any cell phone. I've helped countless people here who manually enter all contacts on their cell phone and depend on their cell phone alone for this important data, which can be lost or stolen.
    Problems like this certainly did exist a few years back. Hardware can fail, data transfer can fail or get corrupted, and user error or not taking precaution when important data is involved. There are many more people here that don't maintain a backup for any important data on their computer's hard drive than do.
    Losing important data is painful, but painful lessons are usually learned the best. Things can and do go wrong. For future reference, import the photos in the Camera Roll ASAP, and especially before installing a major firmware update when the transfer of an existing backup is involved.
