Trouble w/ IPOD

Ok I have just started getting songs off iTunes before then I had gotten all my music off of CDs I had bought. Anyway, this Monday I noticed my iPod acting a little weird, it would lag when I went skipped ahead to the next song i.e. it would take a few seconds to change or it would pause and have the song I was just listening to still high lighted on the display but the next song would be playing. But it still works well so I didn't worry about it. Last night I bought a bunch of songs with iTunes and I wanted to put them onto my iPod. My computer would recognize that I had something plugged into the USB port, I don't have other devises plugged into my USB port, but my iPod would not show up on my iTunes. My computer is pretty slow but after waiting 10 minutes I hit some logo on the toolbar of my computer to allow my to eject my iPod, I have my iPod on manual. I reset my iPod and restarted my computer and re-installed iTunes. Still no luck, its driving me crazy bc it was working fine just a few days ago, and I am really itching to listen to the songs I bought. Does anyone have any idea how to get my computer to recognize my iPod again. Thanks.

Make sure the drive letter specified for your ipod is "E".

Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

Trouble Connecting Ipod Touch to Itunes

Hey Guys
Having a bit of trouble with my new Ipod Touch I bought over the weekend... hoping you could help me out.
Basically my ipod will be recognised by itunes but when it tries to sync I get the error message
"The ipod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read or written to."
After discussing it with Apple Support, I connected the device to another computer, which connects with the ipod and syncs fine. After looking in the device manager and seeing that the ipod is not appearing, they are claiming that it's an issue with the windows driver for the usb2 port and theres nothing I can do and to call windows support.
The strange thing is, when I buy songs by wifi on the itunes store via the ipod touch - when I connect the device that song will transfer back to itunes no problem.
Anyone have any ideas? I've updated itunes and ipod software, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and deleted temp directories.

Hey burntfilm82,
Does the iPod touch work correctly in another user account?
This article describes howto setup another user account and has some good troubleshooting tips.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Not Charge
- See:

Having trouble with Ipod-because of cold??

I am having a problem with my ipod not wanting to change the songs with my ihome remote when attached to the ihome. It will not puase or play either when using the remote. I have put another ipod into the ihome and it works just fine. I also am having trouble plugging it into my car as it just gets an error. Also double checked this with another ipod. I have already reset and restored it with no luck. I think this problem maybe due to the fact that it was left in my car for a few hours and it was very cold outside. Can anyone tell me what I should/can do to fix this? I works in all other aspects, this is why I am so confused. Thanks!

I have discovered that the error I am getting from the car stereo is saying that it is a "connection" error between the car stereo and the ipod. So that kinda narrows it down and like i've said i know its the ipod b/c i have tested everthing else with a different ipod to double check things.

Bug? - trouble with iPod menus

I recently downloaded my first video podcasts, but I'm having some trouble playing them in my iPod. Although they are ok when played in iTunes, they didn't seem to be recognized as video by the iPod - at least when I selected them through the podcast menu (they played as audio with a small imaged on the left). But I just found they play perfectly fine, though, if I select them through the video ("recently added") menu. Weird.
But then under that menu (the "recently added" list under Videos) I got not only videos but also all the recently added songs/audio. Does this happen to everyone? Is it just me, or does this look like a bug?

Hi 1county,
What sort of trouble are you experiencing?

Trouble syncing iPod after initial connection

We just purchased a 5th gen iPod, and we're having some trouble getting it to sync with our Mac mini Core Duo. When we connect it via the included USB cable, it will appear on the desktop, trigger iTunes to start up, and perform a sync. However, the problem arises if we try to manually sync the iPod again after that first sync. When I go into iTunes and right click on the iPod and select "Update iPod", iTunes hangs for a minute with no indication that the iPod is syncing. If I try to right click on the iPod and select "Options", I am able to choose different options, but after clicking "OK", iTunes hangs for a minute and then reports "Preferences were not safed for the iPod "xxxxxx" because it could not be found." Basically, it seems like after that first sync, the iPod disconnects and will not reconnect.
Additional notes:
* I have tried the "Five R's", although the "Reinstall" part did not work - when I tried to run the iTunes installer, it told me there was "nothing to install". Presumably because I already have the latest version of everything.
* I did put the iPod into diagnostic mode, and it passed all tests successfully.
* Even when the iPod fails to sync, it does continue to charge... so it appears that the connection is at least working somewhat.
* If I set the iPod into Disk Mode, it seems to work fine. However, to do this, I either have to use the key combination to force it into Disk Mode, or REALLY QUICKLY set up the options to do so while it is performing its initial sync after being connected. As I said before, after the initial sync happens, and the iPod disconnects, I can't save any of the options.
* When I connect my 4th Gen iPod via the 5th Gen iPod's USB cable, it exhibits the exact same symptoms as the 5th Gen iPod. That leads me to believe the problem is not in the iPod itself, but possibly in the cable, the mini's USB port, or in the software. I have tried plugging in to all four USB ports on the mini with the same results. The 4th Gen iPod works fine when plugged in via FireWire. And of course the 5th Gen doesn't support FireWire, so I can't try that.
Any suggestions?

You're not alone. I have the exact same problem as
you. I had a 3G iPod before and it worked perfectly.
I'm glad to hear that someone else is having this problem. I'm totally baffled as to what the issue could be. I'm going to list every place I think there could possibly be a problem, and any steps I've taken to rule it out:
1. Hardware problem inside the 5th gen iPod.
- I have run all of the self-diagnostics, and they passed with flying colors. The iPod plays back music, photos, and video just fine. Also, I have the same problem with the 4th gen iPod, when it is hooked up via USB2. The 4th gen works fine when hooked up via FireWire.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
2. Hardware problem with my USB cable.
- I took my iPod to the Apple Store and hooked it up using their USB cable, and experienced the same problem. Also, the iPod charges normally in any case, and it syncs over my USB cable just fine if it's in disk mode.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
3. Hardware problem with a USB port on my Mac mini.
- As noted in #2, I took my iPod to the Apple Store and hooked it up to one of their Mac minis, and it had the same problem. Also, I plugged the iPod into all of the ports on my Mac mini and got the same results with all of them. All of my other peripherals work fine on all of the USB ports (printer, card reader, camera, mouse, keyboard).
- Conclusion: not the problem.
4. Hardware problem on my Mac mini other than the USB port.
- As noted in #3, I had the same problem when I hooked my iPod up to the Mac mini in the Apple Store. Also, I have run the Apple Hardware Diagnostics CD on my Mac mini and it did not come up with any problems.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
5. Problem with the iTunes software on my Mac mini.
- As noted earlier, I experienced the same problem when hooking up with the Apple Store's Mac mini. Also, my 4th gen iPod works just fine when connected via FireWire.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
6. Problem with the Mac OS X software on my Mac mini.
- As noted earlier, I had the same problem on the Apple Store's mini.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
7. Problem with the Firmware on my iPod.
- I had updated my iPod to firmware 1.1.1, but even after downgrading it to 1.1, I had the same problem. And I'm having the problem on my 4th Gen iPod when it is hooked up via USB, and it has a totally different firmware.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
8. Problem with the iTunes music library on my Mac mini.
- I reset the iPod using the iPod Updater, wiping out all of its data. I then created a fresh user on Mac OS X, logged in to it, and connected the iPod. That user had no iTunes library at all, so other than the preferences, no data was being synced to the iPod, and I STILL had the same issue.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
Ok, so all of those are not the problem. So what could the problem be? Well, let's try a few theories:
Theory A. This is a problem that affects all Mac mini Core Duo users who are syncing iPods over USB2.
- If this was true, wouldn't we be hearing a lot more complaints? I suppose if most of the users had their iPods set to disk mode, then they would never notice the problem.
Theory B. Um... I don't have any other theories.
I've thought about taking the iPod back and swapping it for a new unit, but based on all of the troubleshooting I've done, I don't see how that could make any difference, since I'm experiencing the same problem with my 4th gen iPod.
Anyone want to take a stab at it?

Trouble syncing iPod Classic after switching from Windows XP to Mac OS X

I'm using an 80 GB iPod Classic (the first iPod classic to come out) and I've had it for a little over two years. Ever since I've had it, I've been syncing it with a Dell Inspiron 1501 with Windows XP Professional. Haven't had any problems since buying it.
I recently bought a 13-inch Macbook Pro, and spent a long time transferring my music from my Windows computer over to this one. When it was done, I formatted my iPod Classic for Mac and tried to sync my library. It works slowly and steadily until the syncing freezes at a random song. Usually after about 700-800 songs is when this happens.
Then my iTunes starts moving very slowly and it's impossible to get the iPod to stop syncing or eject properly. I had to force quit the program and eject the iPod's disc before I could try again. I struggled with syncing in this way about 3 times before I gave up. Now I'm trying to add music manually, a little bit at a time.
However, every time I eject the iPod to see if my songs are getting put on there, it says there is no music. When I go to the "about" screen, it says I have memory on the device, but none of it is music.
I've tried reformatting through iTunes and erasing the disc using disc utility. Anything else I should do?

There are plenty of topics on this very question which gets asked fairly often depending on your search criteria.
Short answer is no.
The OS X license agreement provides for installing and using it on a single Apple branded/labeled computer only.
The only way to install Tiger on a PC is via a hack of some sort and even if the hack is successful, very little on your PC would be supported and the overall performance would not be worth the trouble.
> I was reading an artical and found out that the Mac OS X Tiger already has many of the things that the new windows vista has.
What you read is correct and it took Microsoft 5 years to come up with what amounts to a copy of OS X. I read there are 10 separate/different versions of Vista to choose from? How on earth is the average person (or even the above average person) expected to wade through all that confusing mess?
Apple is getting ready to launch a new OS X version called Leopard this spring which will place Windows even father behind.
If you want to run Tiger and Vista, purchase an Intel Mac which gives you the ability to run both operating systems natively on a single computer.

Anyone having trouble with iPod 1.2 update?

After going back from 7 to 6.05 (which I kept on another PC), I still find my iPod 5th gen. crashing occasionally when I play some podcasts. The fix has been to play a few moment from the podcast on the iPod through iTunes.
Everyone is bashing iTunes 7.0/7.01 - might there be a problem with iPod 1.2 upgrade too?

I don't have trouble with that.
But this might mean nothing, because I'm on a German version of InDesign CS6 v8.1.0 on Mac OSX 10.7.5.
What I try to do:
Change the preferences.
Change the workspace.
Restart your machine.
Restart InDesign.
The preferences should be sticky then…

Do you have trouble with iPod Classic and Ford's SYNC?

Anyone have trouble with Ford SYNC recognizing iPod Classic? When I first bought my Lincoln my iPod Classic worked perfectly--just like it should with Ford SYNC. But a few months ago, when I plug in the iPod using a USB cable I get the message on Ford Sync that says, "incompatible device". At first I thought it was a ford problem so I began testing using a 2010 Buick and a 2010 Lincoln Navigator. My iPod classic doesn't work in either. However, a iPod nano works perfectly in either car. Also if I put some of my music on a flash drive it works fine in the Lincoln. So, I'm convinced that the problem is some type of update that occurred to my iPod or to iTunes.
I have tried several iPod Classics and several USB cables so it is definitely aiPod Classic software problem. By the way, my iPod Classics work fine by themselves--just not through Ford's SYNC.
I'm pretty lost as to possible solutions.
Thanks,

I have done some experimenting and testing with my old Classic iPod that uses operating system 3.1.1. I don't think this operating system has changed. However, later generation iPods such as nano, shuffle that use a different operating system seem to work absolutely perfectly in my 2010 Lincoln Navigator, especially the ones without a hard drive (i.e. flash drive). My conclusion is that the Ford SYNC updates have somehow not been backward compatible with the older operating system. I know this can be attributed to Apple for part of the problem but I suspect that Ford somehow did not do enough testing with the older iPod operating systems. Turns out there are probably 7 or more operating systems on iPods and while you would assume that "backward compatibility" is a no-brainer, that seems not to be the case with second party vendors such as Ford SYNC. Personally, I have given up trying to solve this problem and have gone to flash drive and a "line in" option. My old Classic iPod works exceptionally well, plus I have a spare so I can probably use these thing till "H freezes over". Being a older retired American these things may actually last a life time!

Trouble with iPod freezing, etc

Hi, I have a 40GB iPod (it's a year and a half old, thus long out of warranty), and while it frequently freezes, it's easily reset. However, recently it freezes, can't be reset, shows the sad iPod icon, but can be operational again after being set in disk mode. Today, it froze, sad iPod icon'd, and after being plugged in to my computer alternately displays: sad iPod, the still "battery charged to one bar" icon, and the apple icon. When I try to reset it while plugged in, it repeats this cycle, and when I try to put it into disk mode, the screen goes blank and stays like this for as long as I hold down the center and play buttons. If anyone can help after reading this long description, you would be my hero/heroine. Thanks.
