Sync and disconnect..........SORTED

Well it worked for me!!!
I copied my library to disc, (took about an hour and a pile of discs( so any loss of tracks was limited. Then I plugged in my Nano and on the home screen clicked on the "RESTORE" button for the ipod, It asked me several questions and then proceeded to wipe my ipod and then immediately started to put all the contents of my library back on.
As a test I have just been itunes store and purchased a single, on plugging my nano back into my pc.....bingo it synced it straight on.....sorted.
Whether or not you choose to do this please do so at your own risk.

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!

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.

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.

My daughter disconnected her iPod nano from the lead before ejecting the device. It no longer syncs and we have re-set the device, but it now only occasionally appears on the computer screen any suggestions please?

Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.

I just got an Ipod Classic and when i try to sync it it syncs half then deletes it all and disconnects

Whenever i plug my Ipod Classic (new) into my computer it says Sync in progress, then switches to "OK to disconnect" after loading about 40 songs on, and then deleting them off the Ipod. What's going on? All the computer says is "cannot load songs, unknown error occured."

To help in troubleshooting,
What is your iTunes version?
What is your iPod firmware number, as shown on the Itunes summary page?
You problem is iTunes timeout the sync process because there is no response from the iPod. Possible causes
iPod Hardisk malfunctioning.
Antivirus scanning
Other USB devices, using up the USB resource
iPod connected to USB 1.1 port instead of High Power USB2.0 Port
IPod connected to USB Hub.
Windows plugins or Malware using up CPU resource.
Whenever you sync or Restore the IPod, connect the iPod to the Back panel USB 2.0 port, disconnect all other USB devices except the mouse, and disconnect from Internet, stop your antivirus.
But if the above doesn't work, bring it back to Apple , since it is under warranty.
You can also do a Disk Diagnostic as posted regularly by tt2, to check your Hardisk, it wont fix the problem but help you decide what to do.

IPhone 6 Plus Connecting and Disconnecting when syncing

I have an iPhone 6 Plus and when I try to sync it to my rMBP it constantly connects then disconnects. I tried using another USB port and the problem seemed to be fixed, but the half way through the sync it disconnected and started constantly connecting then disconnecting. I thought this could be because the phone is using too much power so I turned the phone to airplane mode and reduced the brightness to minimum but nothing.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting steps if your device unexpectedly disconnects from the computer during syncing:

IPod Classic won't sync to new computer and repeatedly connects and disconnects

i have recently been issued a new laptop (lenovo thinkpad X230i, windows 7) and want to sync my existing iPod Classic to it. i set up iTunes (11) without any problems, however my ipod t appear in My Computer or in my iTunes library.
I've tried everything suggested in 'iPod troubleshooting' but nothing seems to work.
also when i plugged it into my old computer, to which my ipod is currently synced, an error message appeared saying that 'a file could not be found', the iPod also repeatedly connects and disconnects.
if anyone has had the same problem or has some advice it would be greatly appreciated!

my 5th generation ipod acts like it is going to sync and then "ejects" itself before even 1 song can be synced. It then doesnt recognize that it has been ejected and keeps the"do not disconnect" icon on the screen even after unplugging. What do I do? it also makes a lot of noise while connected to the computer.

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected. does the same with itunes. Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting. It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync. Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.

Many syncing and e-mail problems.

Hi folks, lots of syncing and e-mail problems here:
Syncing: My phone won't sync iCal (it tells me my phone is disconnected), my safari bookmarks or my email accounts. I've been through the threads here, tried resetting iSync, tried deleting calendars and resetting to 10 days instead of 30 -- still no luck. For e-mail, initially iTunes saw the e-mail accounts but did not sync theml. I tried the one-time advance settings and now it's not even seeing the accounts and still not syncing them. and for Safari, no luck with the bookmarks at all even thought the check-box is checked.
Also, the iPhone won't receive e-mail from any of my POP accounts, even the one I set by hand (because none of the settings synced.) I used the same settings that I have on my desktop, but no luck. I use RoadRunner, so I know I can't send off it. But I went to the genius bar today and they told me to just leave the SMTP server field blank and I should be able to receive, but all I get on wi-fi and edge is a message that says, "Cannot Get Mail, the connection to the server "pop-xxxxxx etc" failed." even on my home netowrk, with five bars, it can't seem to connect. (btw, it does seem to be working properly on my .Mac account, but I don't use that account for most of my correspondence.)
As far as the sync problems, the genius bar told me to reinstall iTunes, which I did with the new update that just came out this evening. Still no luck.
any thoughts? bum phone? some setting I'm not catching? any help would be appreciated.

You will find the iPhone will freak out over any kind of perceived data corruption. Calendars seem to the worst for this (windows or mac)
Test in a new user and try sending info in each direction. If it works - then your phone works fine.
Other users have reported having to basically copy the contents of their calendars into a sticky or text edit window. delete the calendars and create brand new ones. they then just transfer the data back.

How to make Nano NOT appear on Mac desktop as connected drive when I plug in to recharge it? Just want charging, not syncing, and don't want to unmount drive each time.

I have a 6th generation iPod Nano.
I almost exclusively use it as an FM radio and as a pedometer -- so far I have not loaded any songs onto it for listening, nor do I intend to in the future.
Here's my problem:
When my Nano runs out of juice, I have to use the charging cord to plug it into to my iMac's USB port to recharge the Nano. However, whenever I do so, two different (unwanted) actions happened:
First, the act of plugging in the iPod auto-launched iTunes, for syncing. I solved this problem by finding the preference check box for launching iTunes when connecting an iPid, and UNchecking the box. That worked, problem solved.
However, the second automatic action is that the iPod appears as a connected drive on the iMac desktop, as any external device with a drive would appear when connected to any Mac. But I have no need for this to be happening -- I don't intend to upload anything to the iPod, nor to sync it, or whatever -- the only reason I ever connect the iPod to the iMac is to RECHARGE the iPod, not to tinker with the contents of what's on it.
The problem is, every time I then want to disconnect the charging cord, I have to manually "unmount" the iPod drive by dragging its desktop icon to the Trash, when then allows the "it is now safe to disconnect your external drive" state to obtain, allowing me to then unplug it without getting a warning message telling me I shouldn't have just disconnected a connected drive without first unmounting it.
This wouldn't be such a bother, except that the 6th generation iPod Nano has a new "feature" which makes it impossible to see how far along the charging is progressing while it is still in the act of charging. Thus, the only way to know if it is has become fully charged is to unplug it, and look at the battery monitor. While is it still connected and charging, all that displays on the iPod is the "charging now" battery icon, which does not reveal just how the charging is progressing, or if it is fully charged yet. (My iPhone, by way of contrast, displays during charging a battery icon which reveals how far charged it is by that point.)
As a result of this Nano "feature," I often find myself having to connect and disconnect the Nano two or three or more times each time I'm charging it, so I can simply check how far along the charging has gotten, since I want to disconnect it as soon as it has finished charging and get back to using it.
But so far, I have not been able to find any kind of setting or preference which allow me to identify this device as one which I DON'T want to "mount" each time it is plugged in.
All I want to do is just plug in the iPod, and be able to unplug it, without having to to ANY shenanigans on the computer itself. Just plug in = recharging, unplug = not charging any more. Simple.
Question: is there any way to achieve this? Or is it simply not possible, and must I manually unmount the iPod's drive (more than once, usually) each time I plug it in for recharging?

I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
What's the secret?

My iPhone is not syncing and iTunes is going wack. Can anyone explain what's happening?

I guess this could constitute mainly as an iTunes problem, but there is disconnect with my IPhone 5. I have just recently added new songs to my iTunes and when I plugged my iPhone in, it didn't sync. At first I really didn’t care much about it. It usually does the same thing to my younger sister’s iPod touch. I assumed that all I’d have to do is go to my song menu and check the artists and songs I wanted to add. After doing this, I clicked apply and then sync and still the music didn’t download. Again, I didn’t worry much about it (and this could be my mistake) and I tried another solution that helped me with my old iPhone. I just checked off of music as a whole, clicked apply, synced, and then waited for iTunes to tell me the sync was over. This was unsuccessful. On iTunes, under ‘On this iPhone’ it said I had no music, however my iPhone still had all of my songs and playlists. This confused me so I took it a step further and caused more damage. I rechecked music (this time clicking add entire music library as opposed to only checked items), applied the changes, plugged my iPhone back in, and synced again. My iPhones library did not change. The number of songs I had remained the same. However, this time on the computer, iTunes told me I only had three songs under ‘On this iPhone’ but the capacity bar below told me a completely different number of songs than the ‘On this iPhone’ section and the number of song read on my iPhone. At this point I gave up meddling with everything and ejected my iPhone. I don’t want to delete and re-upload iTunes to my computer unless I absolutely have to (because I will lose all of my purchased music, apps, books, etc.). Does anyone know what’s wrong with my devices? Is there an easy fix, and if I have to delete and reload iTunes is there a way to do it without losing all of my stuff? I’m desperate for help, I don’t want to mess with it any more unless I’m absolutely sure the next time I plug my phone in it won’t experience and ultimate malfunction. Anyone with a solution is greatly appreciated.

Hey DaddyPaycheck and Japamac,
Thanks both for your replies.
+You are a tenacious one, that's for sure! :-)+
I don't know if that's a good thing in this case.....;)
I do agree with the statement that it cannot handle dual processors. I swapped the the "original" working CPU with the "original" one I thought was giving me problems. It is now running (although showing as single) with the CPU I thought was bad. Both sets, original and untested, will work together and register as dual, but will be unreliable and randomly freeze.
+The defining bit of data would be if you could determine that one socket or the other is continually working, or if one is sporadic (thus explaining the occurrence of the pair working).+
I'm having trouble narrowing down that part. I can swap them back and forth and get the same result-so both sockets seem to be working. But like I said when both pairs are couple together, it shows as dual, and it works for a certain amount of time. So I know they are working to a certain degree. But when they're mixed, only one (don't know which one) is being seen.
Yes, I've run thermal calibration and everything goes fine. Even with the diagnostic disc, when the CPUs are mixed, hardware specs show one CPU. But when the original pairs are coupled, it will show both.
This is like a splinter that I can't get out. It runs great as one CPU, and I could let it go like that, but knowing that it could (and should) be dual is driving me nuts.
Is there anything either of you can think of that I can try?

Sync and album art problems with iPhone 3G

The other day my iPhone was sitting in the cradle syncing and I noticed iTunes (8.02) was deleting the apps from the phone. I cancelled that sync and in iTunes I saw that the "Sync Applications" checkbox was unchecked, but I hadn't unchecked it. I then rechecked the box and synced my apps back onto the phone.
Today I added some songs to a playlist and synced, but the sync time seemed suspiciously short. When I checked iTunes I saw that all of my sync content boxes were unchecked...Sync Music, Sync Videos, etc. When I check one of the boxes iTunes threatens to delete all the content presently on my phone and replace it with content from the library....which is of course the same content except for the few songs I copied into one playlist. I don't really want to sit around and wait until this stupid phone replaces 15gb of content with the same 15gb of content. Sometimes this thing acts like such a piece of junk.
Perhaps this is related, but some weeks ago I purchased a Colbie Caillat album from the ITMS. Whenever I play a song from this purchase on my iPhone it shows the album art for an Usher album I already had in my library. If I play the same song on one of my iPods, the album art is correct. Apparently some sort of corruption is afoot in either iTunes, the iPhone or both. Is there some way to get iTunes and the iPhone on the same page without having to wipe and restore this stupid phone? Thanks.

I bit the bullet and checked all the boxes and synced, and the phone did not go through with the threat to erase all my content. It just synced the one changed playlist instead. False alarm. However, the album art issue remains.
