Updating files stuck

I have just reformatted my iTune's external LaCie drive to be compatible with Time Machine (Extended journaled), and re-moved all of my files back.
I have reinstalled iTune and re imported all of my files, long story.
Now when I'm syncing my files from iTune's to my 80GB video iPod the syncing is getting stuck.
It appears everything is working ok, but the progress bar is not moving and it's stuck on one file.
I have tried syncing only music, only video's and different files, and no matter what song or videos I choose to sync it's always getting stuck on a random file.
I have repaired permissions and checked my drive for errors, all of my files are working fine, and I have checked my iPod on another mac and it's working fine.
What's going on?

bump. This is driving me crazy.
I have just reinstalled OSX 10.5 as a clean install, moved my media to a different drive and tried a different iPod with a different cord on a different usb port and the transfers are still getting stuck!
Help.

  • Creative Cloud is stuck in "Updating File Sync ..." mode

    Okay, since last night on both of my computers (Windows 8 PC & MacBook Pro) creative cloud seems to be stuck in an Updating File Sync mode that shows like this:
    Is it normal to take so much time to actually update file sync? Or there is something wrong?
    Thank you

  • HT4972 My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as the IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an update file and the apple site doesn't have one!

    My ipad 1 is stuck on IOS 4 as these IOS 5 update instructions do not work. When I use itunes update the software looks for an IOS 5 software update file and the apple site doesn't seem have one anywhere!

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT1535 When manually syncing, iPhone gets stuck on "preparing to update files"

      When attempting to add songs via manual sync, ITunes indicates "preparing to update files" and becomes stuck on this.

    Somebody on twitter mentioned temporarily turning off their passcode before syncing and that seemed to help.

  • My I-Pad Mini initiated an Update, got stuck and now I can't Stop, Reset or Delete either the App, or Update. I'm also unable to Update anything else!!! Please HELP!!!

    My I-Pad Mini initiated an Update, got stuck and now I can't Stop, Reset or Delete either the App or Update. I'm also unable to Update anything else!! Please HELP?

    Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
    With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:

  • 10.3 update gets stuck

    I'm trying to update my os to 10.3.1 from 10.2.1 and the update gets stuck at 97% saying the software update interrupted. Any idea how to fix it?
    I even tried factory reset once and tried to update the software again. Still the same

    Just a shot, try doing the update through BB Link and not through Wi-Fi. Doing it through BB Link will download the 1GB file to your computer hard drive. Also, make sure you have the space available on your phone to actually install the OS update. That might mean putting music, photos, documents on the microSD card or moving them to a computer and then moving them back after the update.
    Also, I've seen it taken about 2 hours in total to install (30 minute download via Wi-Fi, 1.25 hours installation, 15 minute reboot and initial configuration).
    Don't know if this helps, but it's worth a shot.

  • ITunes says updating files on my iPod, but podcasts do not show up.

    I have an iPod Classic 80g. It is set to manually manage files and disk use is enabled. Recently I had to reformat my PC and reinstall the OS and other programs. Prior to this I was able to click and drag the video podcast I subscribe to directly to my iPod. Now, after the reformat, when I drag the new podcasts to my iPod, iTunes says its updating files my files, but when its finished there are no files added to my iPod. When I try to add it again, it no longer says it's updating, but still nothing happens. I have checked in all available folders incase it was adding to the wrong place, but it is nowhere to be found except fot being temporarily in the recently added folded. All other media types like movies and music import without a problem to my iPod.
    Please help.

    I found this answer on http://forums.ilounge.com/archive/index.php/t-197870.html
    I tried it and it worked. I am not tech savy, but I am in the process of downloading all of the other shows this way. Once I entered in the url in the "sync podcasts", it then allowed me to place all of the newly downloaded podcasts under podcasts. I played around for a while, so not sure I can walk you through it, but it will work.
    Once I had synced the podcast, I went into podcast, dbl clicked on the original subscribed podcast show, that brought up the other shows and I downloaded them, one by one. Am trying a mass download, but cannot seem to do that.
    Hope this helps.

    Yeah, you have to subscribe to a podcast and select "Sync podcasts" for it to show up under "Podcasts" on the iPod. Even podcasts downloaded through iTunes won't show up here if you don't subscribe/sync but just put them in a playlist.

  • I was transferring music from my (windows) laptop to my iPod 4. Some transferred, then all of the music(except for what I had bought from iTunes)was gone. Then, it started saying "updating files at the top of the computer, but nothing happened. HELP!

    Ok, so I transferred some songs using my USB cable. Then, I checked my iPod, and it had spaces where there would be songs (ones that I had transferred from my laptop when I first got my iPod, so not bought from iTunes) but they were blank, so I completely turned off my iPod and turned it back on, that's when all of those songs disappeared, but they were still on my computer. Only the ones I had purchased iTunes on my iPod remained. I got some other songs to transfer after that, then it started saying "preparing to update files on iPod" "finishing updates" then it doesn't say anything and the songs still aren't on my iPod. Please explain and tell me if there is a way to fix it!

  • Itunes updated files and now I'm locked out - help

    So I just plugged my Ipod classic into the PC to charge it and Itunes opens up and says 'updating files'.
    The old files (over 20gb of music and movies) are still on it, but it looks in the usage bar to have compartmentalized them off.
    It then copied the whole lot over again... so now all the same files are on it twice.
    And when I turn it on it has no files. No music, movies or the games i've downloaded. Nothing.
    2 days ago I logged into my apple account on Itunes and downloaded a game for the Ipod. It didn't try to update it then, and didn't earlier today when I plugged it in. But this time it did what I mentioned above.
    So now I can't access any of my music or movies on it. Help.
    Will I have to restore it and start again?
    EDIT: I've just plugged it in again, and it has added the 2nd lot to the compartmentalized files and tried to copy it all over again. So I forced it to stop syncing and ejected it.
    Message was edited by: fooffstarr

    Nevermind.
    I called the number on my warranty we ended up having to restore it and start over.
    Still don't know what caused the issue in the first place, so ill leave this marked as unanswered for now.
    If anyone knows why it would do it please let me know

  • ITunes 10.5 won't update files properly on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 5, how can I fix this?

    I recently updated iTunes to 10.5 and my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5, but now when I try to edit the ID3 tags or artwork of songs on my
    iPod using iTunes, iTunes just says "Preparing to update files" but it never actually updates them. When I try to add songs
    manually to iPod (my iPod is not set up to sync music with iTunes [see note below]), the same thing happens, with the newly added
    songs appearing on the iPod library but are grayed out with a still loading icon next to them. Also, in some instances when I try
    to change the artwork of all the songs on an album, it grays out the songs I tried to change, puts an exclamation mark by them,
    and applies those changes to other songs on my iPod! And if I delete the songs I attempted to change it deletes the songs that
    were received the artwork change. The songs that were unintentionally changed somehow got overwritten by the songs I was trying to
    change while retaining the original tags of the songs that were changed. Not sure if I'm explaining this clearly so let me give an
    example: song A is a song on an album on my iPod, song B is on song on a completely different album on the iPod. When I change the
    artwork on song A, it somehow messes up my library and song A overwrites song B, but it keeps all of song B's ID3 tags. So I don't
    know song B is song A until I play song B, at which point the ID3 tags are changed to the tags of the song A, and song B is just
    disappears. This only started happening after updating to iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5. Not sure if the problem is caused by iTunes 10.5
    or iOS 5, but I did search online and found someone with the exact same problem effecting their iTunes 9.1 (no iPod involved). 
    Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    Note:
    I add songs manually to iPod because I don't keep my music on my PC and sync my music with iTunes because it would take up too
    much space and I want to be able to add songs on my iPod from other computers. Once you set it up to sync music I believe it
    disables making any changes to your iPod with iTunes on other computers.

    okay, I don't know about the rest, but about the songs never actually loading onto your iPod, I found in another discussion how to fix that. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know if the steps are the same, but the end result is the same. So go into your Start menu, then into accessories, right click 'Command Prompt' and click 'Run as administrator'. Then type in the following: netsh winsock reset then press Enter. After a few seconds it should tell you to to restart your computer for changes to take effect. Restart your computer, then restart iTunes, then everything should be working fine. It still takes forever sometimes to update the iPod, but eventually it will work. I've had to do this multiple times, so I'd suggest copying & pasting this solution into a notepad or Word document and saving it on your computer, so you don't have to go through the discussions again to find it. This tends to happen to me nearly every day unfortunately Hope this fixes that problem, but I'm not having any of the other problems fortunately, except for removing the artwork of the songs it updates without me asking it too. PS I think my problem may be with iOS 5, because iTunes 10.5 came out before iOS 5, and I think everything was fine before I updated my iPod, but I really don't know where the problem lies

  • On the fly modification of an updated file

    Good Day,
    I have a SharePoint library which keeps word documents (docx) in document sets. These word documents can be co-authored which means that more than one user can use Word application and work with the file at the same time. Each time user saves the file (i.e.
    using Ctrl-S shortcut) the document is updated on the SharePoint.
    1)
    Is there any way of "on the fly" modification of updated file on server side and save such an altered version of the document?
    (FYI - the file modification I'm talking about should remove all edition rights inside docx file)
    I have tried with ItemUpdating but I cant figure out how to access new version of the file (the content which actually is going to be put on the server) alter and make sure it going to be stored on the server. I can easily access current version of the file
    (which of doesn't have any modifications) - but it is not the case here - I need access to version which is going to be put on the server and alter it.
    Is it possible to do something like that?
    2)
    I also went for other possibilities (although much less convenient) and experimented with ItemUpdated event. This time I was able to access the file and the content was updated but any alterations of the content failed with the exception saying:
    {"The file "XXX" is locked for shared use by YYY."}
    Why am I getting this exception? Of course the file is locked because is it still open by user in the Word app (who actually manually triggered document save operation) and this is a normal use case here. I can get more users to open that document and let
    them edit it simultaneously and that is fine. Then, why I cannot modify the file in event receiver because of this exception?
    I hope you'll come up with some ideas.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    We can use SystemUpdate() instead of Update()
    to update the file in Event Receiver.

  • Windows XP won't install drivers - "UPDATE" file missing

    I have installed Windows XP SP2 successfully ( it was a bumpy road ) and have reached the step where I'm supposed to use a Leopard disc to install the necessary drivers for using Windows with the MacBook hardware (video, speakers, etc). When I insert the Leopard disc a window appears saying that the setup.exe file on the disc is newer than something or other, so I click OKAY ( the Boot Camp instructions say to agree to any windows at this point ). The window goes away, and another one immediately opens saying " the necessary UPDATE file is missing". I click OKAY and the window closes. The End. No driver installation. I can use XP, but there is no sound. Windows Movie Maker won't even launch because it says the audio components are not available. This is probably because the drivers weren't installed. I imagine there will be many other problems.... Anyone have this solution???

    Here is a correction to my post. The window says: "This package requires a newer version of Windows Installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?" ( I click yes and the window goes away). The second window says: "The required resource 'Update' is missing". ( I click yes and the window goes away ).
    I think maybe XP is trying to download something from the internet and maybe it can't since I probably need the drivers to do that....?
