Why do extra, empty "on-the-go" playlists appear every time I plug in my iPod? It's really annoying.
I have an iPod Nano 3rd Generation that has never given me any problems, but iTunes is acting ridiculous. Every time I plug my iPod into my computer, one or more "on-the-go" playlists randomly comes into existance. It is always empty, and there have been times I have ended up with 8 or 9 new, empty on-the-gos. iTunes has been acting stupid for a long time now, and this is just about the last straw for me. Anyone know any reasons and/or fixes for this?
Not sure why they are happening, but you might my KillEmptyPlaylists script useful. Have you tried resetting or restoring the device yet?

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.Try Here > AMDS > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

Why does my computer restart every time I plug in my ipod?
I got my ipod touch a few weeks ago, and for the last two weeks, every time I plug it in, my computer restarts. It continues to restart every time it reaches the XP loading bit (where the bars travel across the screen, I don't know the technical name). I put the computer into safe mode and it doesn't restart, but my ipod isnt recognised on itunes so I can't sync it.
Does anyone have this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks in advanceI've got a first gen. Ipod touch and I had a problem with my computer and had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall windows! since then when I plug in my touch it restarts my computer.
I'm looking on the forum for a solution before I try anything but to me it looks like we have a similar problem.
The only things different on my system since the last time it worked properly are I updated/reinstalled itunes yesterday and I installed NORTON 360 about a week ago so I think it must have something to do with them!
what browser do you use? I'm using firefox.
If you find a solution can you post an update and I'll do the same,thanks. -
Why does iTunes shut down every time I plug in my iPod nano?
For the last few months every time I plug my iPod into my mac iTunes automatically shuts down and an error message shows up. I have an iPhone and this problem doesn't happen when I plug it in. I have already taken my iPod to the apple store to see if they can fix it and they restored it but, when I took it home and plugged it in nothing has changed, iTunes still suddenly quits. I am running out of ideas on what the problem could be.
If the Apple Store Genius Bar was able to connect your iPod to a Mac and run a Restore, iTunes did not unexpectedly quit, so there is probably nothing wrong with the iPod.
Since you can connect an iPhone to your Mac and there is no problem, there is probably no hardware problem on the Mac.
That leave the iTunes installation. So, I would download the latest stand-alone iTunes installer and install iTunes again. If you use 10.5.8 (as it says in your profile), you should be able to use the latest version available here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you are not using the latest version of iTunes already, please post back with the version you are using (and the reason you are using an older version). -
Why does a blank On-The-Go playlist appear when I sync with iTunes?
Whenever I create an On-The-Go playlist on my iPod classic, a blank one appears when I sync with iTunes. If I have 2 On-The-Go playlists created, one blank one appears when I sync with iTunes.
Sorry. I'm looking now and I'm seeing it in my library. I just thought it wasn't there since it was downloaded on my phone. But what you said worked about deleting it from my library. Thank you so much!

Every time I open firefox4 a dialog box asking me to take a tour,etc opens. How can I stop that.
You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.

Why does Firefox 8 show the getting started screen every time I start it?
Whenever I start Firefox 8 it checks compatibility of my add-ons and then goes straight to the getting Started screen. How do I make it go to my home page instead?
That's weird. It could be that you are currently set to open multiple tabs on start-up. Try restoring to default, by using the "Restore Default" button (under the General tab) and then reenter your Home Page URL.
Here is Firefox Help page on: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page#w_set-what-pages-open-when-firefox-starts How to Set the Home Page] for additional help. -

After re-signing in to iTunes Match hundreds of on-the-go playlists appeared.
For some reason when I turned on my Windows Vista machine last week iTunes asked me to sign-out of the iTunes store and re-sign in. Once I did this iTunes Match was not enabled so I re-authorized the computer and iTunes Match began analyzing my library as it usually does. I left it then came back to hundreds empty on-the-go playlists in my playlists window. Is this a bug or did one of my iDevices mistakenly make all these playlists (I have a iPad 2 and iPhone 4 that all sync with Match) Is there any way to delete all these empty on-the-go playlists en masse?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
JohnHey John-
I'm having the same problem with my iPad 2/Mac Mini setup. The only way I know of to delete all of them en masse is by using something called Automator on the Mac. The only way that I can think of on Windows would involve deleting the library files (not the media files), and rebuilding. This would mean that you'd have to re-sync your iPad and iPhone, though.
You're definitely not alone with this issue, though. Some bugs definitely need to be worked out with iTunes Match.

Why can't I use WebCT chat with my computer? I get the 'spiral of death' every time I try to type in my chat. I have a feeling it has to do with compatibility issues between Java and Tiger.

Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it
Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it and how can I fix the problem.
I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4 (running 6.0.1 (10A523)). I have rebooted several times since this started occurring but it doesn't change the behavior. It was also reporting a "storage almost full" error quite often when I still have 1GB - 3GB of free space. As a troubleshooting exercise I removed all my music so there is now 20.1GB free. The storage warning no longer appears but the same issue still persists with reminders. Help, please!
