X Mavericks iTunes makes old iPod die

I have an old ipod that is awesome becuase it has no built in redundancies and always works. Since the exact time I downloaded the new Mavericks system two weeks ago and connected my ipod to the new itunes for update my ipod now regularly (a few times daily) dies - stops working in the middle of a song - just turns off. I have to manually restart my ipod in the dock. Anyone else having this issue? So evil I think they may have thrown in a redundancy in my ipod to force me to buy a new one..

  • Does any one know of a way to sync movies from my itunes to old Ipod Photo

    I have a 60GB Ipod Photo (the old brick type) and I want to use it to view movies that I have on my itunes. I tried to get my movies to sync to ipod photo but it just is not visible on my ipod although there is a playlist called movies in my Ipod Photo. When I connect my Ipod Photo to Itunes, the itunes shows the list of movies I have in my movies folder in my library, but I am unable to neither create a new playlist in ipod photo and copy all my movies nor can I copy all the movies I have in my library to ipod photo. Any simple to comples suggestions are welcome. Is it possible at all to make my ipod Photo store and play movies?

    No. Even though it has a Movies playlist, it isn't capable of playing video content.

  • New ipod won't show on itunes but old ipod will

    I bought a brand new 5th gen ipod and installed the software and it only installed the ipod updater, so as i already have a 3rd gen ipod and itunes on the computer i uninstalled all ipod and itunes software that had previously been downloaded and started again from scratch with the new ipod. This time it downloaded itunes as well as the ipod software but did not ask me if my new ipod needed configuring. After restarting my computer as suggested i connected the new ipod to the computer and it shows up on windows as new hardware been installed but nothing else happens. It doesn't show up in itunes or ipod updater, however the old ipod does.
    Can anyone please help me?

  • Iphone 4s will not sync with Itunes, but old Ipod does??

    Hi, after the recent software upgrade, the iPhone displays the iTunes and plug logo.  We have followed the instructions to try and get rid but to no avail.
    we have a really old iPod and tested that, and it syncs ok with iTunes.
    Does anyone else have any ideas on how to get this Iphone working again.
    Thanks for your help.

  • New iTunes for old iPod. HELP?

    so my sister got an iPod mini 2nd generation and put her songs on there through her iTunes on her computer. She gave the iPod mini to me. Now I want to put my songs from my iTunes on the iPod but every time I try to "sync iPod" it keeps her songs on there. it does not put my songs on there. is there any way that I can put my songs on there by using a new iTunes on a different computer than the original??
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    That is correct, a simple Restore will fix the problem.

  • How do I get my legitimate songs from iPod to iTunes? Old computer died and have new iMac but same apple id?!!

    HELP ME!    
    I won't lie, iTunes confuses the **** out of me. I thought I had it sussed though, clearly I was wrong...
    Okay, got a new iMac when my last pc finally died. Synced my ipod to it no worries at all, never lost a song. I assumed it was because I had home sharing or because I'd authorised my new computer using my old apple id?
    Now I have a problem though. This is the first time I've actually had a good look at what happens when I connect the ipod to itunes. It will let me add new music that I've burned from my cds. However, it won't let me save any of the previously burned music on this ipod to the itunes library, even though I used itunes and the same apple id to do it originally on my old pc. I want to do this so I can transfer some of the music to my iphone which has less memory (we have an ipod playlist and iphone playlist because of the memory available).
    Is there a setting I've got wrong or is this because itunes legitimately believes I'm trying to infringe a copyright? I thought my apple id would mean they knew everything I'd done under that id before? Do I have to burn the cds all over again?
    Pls ask me to clarify anything if I've not provided the right info.
    Thanks

    A lot of content is available to down load from the purchased are of Itunes Store on all devices and computers.
    If you do not use iTunes Match, I don't then the computer is your source of your own non purcased content. This you can share with 5 Computers and 5 Devices.
    That is why it is important to keep a backup of this data so it can be restored to that computer or mover to a new one and you can resync it to your devices

  • I added a new iPod and now iTunes won't recognize my old iPod

    My old iPod's battery is just about dead. It is about three years old; I will send it to Apple for a new battery.
    In the meantime, I bought a new 5th generation iPod, 60 GB. It's great! Eventually the old iPod will be my work iPid and the new one wil be the home and recreation iPod.
    Here's the problem. I researched using two iPods from the same copy of iTunes. In response to my questions in this forum, someone referred me to the article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432, "How to use multiple iPods with one computer", which I read, and which supported the idea that you can work with two iPods from one copy of iTunes.
    My goal, then, was to follow Method Two as described in the article, and use two iPods from my one computer, without setting up separate user accounts for each one.
    So -- I plopped in the CD that came with the new iPod, installed the latest iTunes. It had me register the new iPod by serial number.
    In my copy of iTunes, my old iPod was called "Mae Sot's iPod". I set up the new iPod as "Mae Sot's New iPod".
    I thought that from now on, when I plugged in my old iPod, iTunes would be able to recognize it, and when I plugged in the new one, iTunes would recognize it.
    Wrong.
    My copy of iTunes does great now in working with the new Ipod. But it totally rejects the old one.
    When I plus in the old iPod to synch/recharge, I first get the Windows message in the lower right part of the screen with the headline, "USB device is not recognized", telling me that "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it..."
    The first time this happened, that message eventually went away, iTunes launched, and I got an error message saying there was no folder for the device.
    Now when I plug in the old iPod, I just get the "USB device is not recognized..." message, and iTunes does not launch.
    Any idea what is the problem?
    My goal is to get iTunes to add my old iPod as a recognized device, so that I can clean the music off it and send it to Apple for a new battery.

  • After installing the Mavericks ituens makes a mistake -45054.

    after installing the Mavericks iTunes makes f mistake (-45054)

    Hi,
    If the folder already exists then ignore the mkdir command and skip to chmod
    Open the terminal and go straight for the:
    To make the folder fully accessible your use the Unix Command chmod to and set it to the folders permissions and privileges to 1777 (if your running Mac OS 10.6 as I am here).  If your running Mac OS 10.5 use the code 777)  These codes give the shared folder a kind of 'Universal Donor' status so it can be used by other programs and processes, sort of permissions to all.
    So at the Terminal Prompt now type:
    sudo chmod 1777 /Users/Shared
    Follow this by Return, then quit the Terminal.
    Try iTunes again.  If it still fails open the disk utitlies and repair the priveleges then restart and try again.
    I hope this helps.

  • I want to create a playlist on an old iPod Nano (I think it's from the second generation), but the computer it was originally linked to via iTunes died years ago.  How can I make a playlist out of existing songs on the iPod?

    Hello there,
    I have an old iPod nano which I think is from the second generation (model number A1199 if that helps) with software at the latest version it can accept, 1.1.3.  I wish to make a playlist out of the songs currently on the iPod, but I can't see any easy way to do that from the iPod itself.  The next logical thought is to do it through iTunes, but the iTunes that was originally synced to the iPod died several years ago now, so I can't access that to make a playlist through (it's a very old iPod).  I do have iTunes currently on this computer, but that's synced with my iPhone and stores different songs which I don't want to be mixed with those from the old iPod (due to the mostly nostalgic nature of the iPod songs).  Is there any way I can either create a new playlist from the iPod itself, or through iTunes without having to sync?  Also note that most of the songs on the old iPod were uploaded to iTunes from CDs and so aren't connected with any iTunes Login.
    Thanks for any help you can give.  Also, I sorta need to create this playlist ASAP so any advice you could give would be much appreciated

    The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC.  However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the new 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 copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.

  • I have an old iPod Classic that still works fine but it is having difficulty establishing a connection to my computer.  It will make an incomplete connection but it takes a long time and the computer hangs up until the connection is made. iTunes can't see

    I have an old iPod Classic.  It still plays the music on it out of either port.  It is having trouble connecting to my Windows 7 (64bit) computer.   It takes about 30 seconds or more to connect and hangs the computer until it does.  Even though it shows up in connected USB devices and in Windows explorer it doesn't seem right.  Sometimes it does not make a connection and when it does make a connection iTunes cannot detect it, even though iTunes sometimes automatically launches when I plug in the iPod.  I've tried two different sets of cables with the same results.
