Updated iTunes software & ITunes Updater and now cannot sync iPod

I was requested to update my iTunes software and install the iTunes updater, which I accomplished. Now when I go to sync up my iPod I get the following error message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to be closed, We are sorry for the inconvenience" It will not allow iTunes to remain open or sync with my iPod. It didn't happen prior to installing the updater. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hard to believe an update did this!! I had the exact problem-updated my iPod & iTunes software & iTunes was crashing whenever I hooked up the iPod-"unclicking" all of my purchased music did the trick! THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR THAT TIP-I'M SURE I WOULD'VE STILL BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM!!
Wish I hadn't restored factory settings first since I would have at least still had my piles of PURCHASED music on the iPod-I accidentally had ONE purchased song checked off to update the iPod & it crashed all over again-glad it was easy enough to figure out which song wasn't from my cd collection that I uploaded! Does anyone have any idea how this will be handled? It seems that money should be refunded for buying these songs for Apple products that, upon the company's instructions to upgrade, can no longer be played on the hardware they're specifically designed for! Or at least they're hopefully coming up with a new upgrade to solve the problem! Very irritating situation!

  • Moved iTunes library to Go Drive and now cannot sync iPod

    My hard drive was full so I moved all my music and photos to an external drive. I configured iTunes so it sees the library on the new drive but now it doesn't see my iPod when I plug it in to sync it.

    I moved all my music and photos to an external drive.
    You used teh menu Advanced Consolidate, correct?
    If you didn't iTunes won't see your music, even if you point it there.
    You will need to File -> Add folder to library and select the music on the external drive.
    but now it doesn't see my iPod when I plug it in to sync it.
    See this -> Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

    You've done great so far to upgrade to Leopard & install more RAM. Now install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    After you install the 10.5.8 update, click on the Apple in the menu & select Software Update. You will then be informed of some application updates. iTunes may be one of them. Then click to install the app updates.

  • I updated my software to iOS6 and now my phone won't automatically join known wifi networks even though I have it on.  It goes back to 3G every so often when I'm at home instead of using wifi, and each time I ask to join it asks for my wifi password

    I updated my software to iOS6 and now my phone won't automatically join known wifi networks even though I have it on.  It goes back to 3G every so often when I'm at home instead of using wifi, and each time I ask to join it asks for my wifi password

    Try this for your home Wi-Fi:
    On your iPhone, Settings > Wi-Fi > select your home network > "forget this network"
    Power down (unplug) your wireless router
    Restart your iPhone
    Plug in your router
    Re-join that network
    I don't know if this simple technique will fix it for good but try it. There is a long thread about this problem here: iOS 6 WiFi Disabled

  • Downloaded itunes update and now cannot sync my ipod. How can I fix it?

    Everytime it says it is finishing the sync an error message comes up saying "Unable to sync ipod"

    Assuming the songs play in iTunes on the computer
    Try:
    - 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.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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.             

  • Upgraded to iTunes 11.0.3 and now cannot access music.

    I upgraded ti iTunes 11.0.31 on my iMac [OS 10.7.5] and now I am unable to access my itunes library. NOT HAPPY. I have over the years accumulated over 1000 albums that I now seem to have lost. Has anyone got an answer? Clearly Apple doesn't give a whatever.

    Thank you very much for your reply. I did find 2 previous iTune libraries but they seem to be empty.
    Your advice on back up is gratefully noted ... I always assumed Time Machine would do the job.
    I guess like many people I've spoken to it's time to move away from Apple ...a declinig market may be the only thing which will make them realise they need to be more responsive to and respectaful of  the millions of individuals who have been their loyal customers for many years.
    My business has started moving to Windows and we have been surprised how good it is and products like Office 360 are fabulous in the business environment. We have heaps of iMacs ready for the scrap heap!
    I am now looking for an alternative to iTunes. Not an easy feat but clearly there is a huge market opportunity out there for someone to produce a decent product. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

  • I just updated to iPhoto 9.3 and now cannot save pictures to EHD

    I have an external hard drive that I use to backup all my iPhoto pics.  It is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and until the iPhoto update, I could click, drap, and drop into the EHD with no issues.  Since the update, I can't save anything to the EHD.  Do I have to reformat it again?  I've already had to do this once when I upgraded my desktop.  Any help/advice would be great.
    Michael

    1. This isn't a back up you hav. If you've been dragging from the iPhoto Window then you're getting previews and not your full scale photos.
    2. Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate

  • Itunes does not start and i cannot sync my iphone 4

    I have installed Itunes 10.1.1.4 on my computer running Windows XP but it does not start. This prevent me to sync my new iphone 4.
    Previously I had other versions of itunes on the computer and sometimes the same problem happened.
    I did a search on Apple support and I followed the instructions (itunes disinstallation and reinstallation) but it didn't work.
    I tried also to disable all the startup app but itunes using msconfig (as again suggested by apple) but it din't work as well.
    Somewhere on internet I found that Bonjour could create the problem: using services.msc I disabled it but it din't work as well.
    I would appreciate very much if someone could help me.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Itunes erased all music and now wont sync

    I was syncing a song to my iPhone like I always did, and then when I checked my iPhone, the song was all distorted with no vocals. When I played it on iTunes, the song was fine. So then I tried to sync it again, and the song wouldn't show up on the device. So then I tried syncing again and iTunes erased ALL my music. Everything's gone yet it says it's there. I checked on the memory space and it shows the same amount of GB left it had when I had all the songs in. But they won't show up on the Music app. Now every time I try to sync, it starts transferring purchases which took 30 minutes for 40 apps and now only says that it's transferring 18 apps.
    Wth is happening with iTunes and my device? How can I fix this? It's really annoying

    Mine did the same thing!!! I lost all of my music and my playlists and nothing shows up on my phone. It's getting really annoying and I wish someone would explain what the heck is going on.

  • TS1363 I switched computers and now cannot sync my ipod shuffle

    Help...I switched computers and now I cannot sync my ipod shuffle.

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the new/different PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is consolidate of your iTunes content onto either one of the PCs and then sync your iPod with just that one PC.
    If you like to copy everything from your Shuffle to this new/different iTunes library, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    I have a nano and want to transfer my music to my new iPad, in all the excitement of setting up my iPad I created a new apple Id and now I can't sync my music!
    Can someone please advise if there is a way to transfer my music to my iPad manually? If so, please detail step by step, as I am technologically challenged! Thanks in anticipation.

    You can search within your music folder on your pc, or within documents folder for a music folder.
    In any case, you would need to sync with itunes
