Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by xoxo1234 at 12:31 am on April 13, 2008 Aaah my iPod is confusing me! I connected it as usual, tried to sync it, and said there wasn't enough space available -- that I needed around 13 GBs left and I only had 9. This confused me, because I hadn't added anything large since my last sync, which was yesterday and worked perfectly. I figured it could possibly be a glitch, so I just ejected it and tried plugging it in again. Now my iTunes freezes every time I plug it in until I eject my iPod, when it starts working perfectly again. WHAT DO I DO??? I'm going crazy here, my iPod is my baby and I neeeed it to work, lol. PLEASE help me!!! Edit: I FINALLY got my iPod to begin syncing earlier, but my iTunes froze in the middle so I ejected it, and the iPod froze on "Do not disconnect." I rebooted my iPod ad now it's frozen on the apple logo. Edit again: The iPod's battery has died, so I plugged it in to the computer. I got the usual "Ipod Battery is very low" etc... and then the apple came on as if it was about to turn on & sync. However, it keeps going back to the "Please wait, very low battery," then back to the apple logo, etc. =/ -- Posted by JAJABOB92 at 12:35 am on April 13, 2008 ha ha, apple wins again -- Posted by Maxxie at 12:36 am on April 13, 2008 Have you tried restarting the computer and then plugging it in opening iTunes and then resetting the iPod? -- Posted by xoxo1234 at 12:41 am on April 13, 2008 Quote: from maxxie at 10:36 am on April 13, 2008 Have you tried restarting the computer and then plugging it in opening iTunes and then resetting the iPod? I can't reset the iPod once it's plugged in because iTunes automatically freezes.   I'll restart the computer, see what happens. -- Posted by xoxo1234 at 12:52 am on April 13, 2008 Restarted the computer, iTunes no longer freezes but the iPod doesn't show up or sync. -- Posted by Maxxie at 1:11 am on April 13, 2008 Quote: from xoxo1234 at 10:52 am on April 13, 2008 Restarted the computer, iTunes no longer freezes but the iPod doesn't show up or sync.

Anywho if you got other computers at home with iTunes try to plugg it in there and sync with the music library there might for aswell.. (good thing with iPods they got a year guaranteen so you could turn it back to the store and get a new one) -- Posted by tashara aka TK at 1:22 am on April 13, 2008 press the menu button and the center button at the same tyme then wen the light comes on then plug it in....this shud work bcuz the same thing happend to me -- Posted by xoxo1234 at 1:29 am on April 13, 2008 Quote: from maxxie at 11:20 am on April 13, 2008 Quote: from xoxo1234 at 11:13 am on April 13, 2008 No, my iPod is fully charged.

I've done it many times. -- Posted by aeternus at 11:48 pm on April 13, 2008 Quote: from xoxo1234 at 2:14 am on April 13, 2008 Quote: from maxxie at 11:30 am on April 13, 2008 Quote: from xoxo1234 at 11:29 am on April 13, 2008 I reinstall iTunes will I loose my whole library?   The iPod's more than a year old.

Before uninstalling itunes go to Advances > Consolidate Library Let it do it's thing, then you should be able to take all of your music and put it somewhere outside of the itunes folder(I'm not sure on a PC, it's probably under Programs or whatever, and then iTunes, and the Library, but it might be under Music if that's one of the folders that comes with windows; on a Mac it's Just Music>iTunes>iTunes Music) Then you can safely reinstall iTunes -- Posted by TheCrow at 5:42 am on April 14, 2008 LMAO. http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=226346 unlucky thats where I thought the answer would lay, guess not. good luck though! -- Posted by xoxo1234 at 5:53 am on April 14, 2008 Quote: from TheCrow at 3:42 pm on April 14, 2008 LMAO. http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=226346 unlucky thats where I thought the answer would lay, guess not. good luck though! Lol. -- Posted by Spice at 6:36 am on April 14, 2008 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705 try that. once it appears on iTunes again, I recommend using the option that allows you to reset the software. I can't be bothered checking the exact words for it. -- Posted by xoxo1234 at 2:54 am on April 16, 2008 I just plugged it in again and it's synching. I really really hope it works... oh well, thanks to everyone who tried. -- Posted by xoxo1234 at 7:53 am on April 16, 2008 Didn't work, points up for grabs once again. -- Posted by Dont Tell at 10:07 am on April 16, 2008 If you can I'd suggest going to an apple story and talk to a "genius" (cof cof) and see what they say. -- Posted by Tavis at 3:23 pm on April 16, 2008 My suggest is pointing a finger. Phone apple. Ask them. And most likely, you can send it in and they will fix it for you for free or shipping only or something. We aren't professionals. And I'm not sure if you've just tried resetting the iPod by itself, if you can. Or if it detects, go 'Restore' on the device. -- Posted by ElfQrin at 5:40 pm on April 16, 2008 Aw man, and I wanted all those points too. :( -- Posted by Brookie Chookie23 at 5:34 am on April 17, 2008 Sounds silly, but have you tried googling the problem? There is a plethora of very helpful web pages for very specific iPod problems such as your own. I know newer iPods don't come with a charger, but if you are that desperate to save your music, you could try looking for one on eBay and charging your iPod from the wall instead of your computer, which will try to synch it and do other shit instead of just charge it. -- Posted by xoxo1234 at 10:47 am on April 17, 2008 Quote: from Dont Tell at 8:07 pm on April 16, 2008 If you can I'd suggest going to an apple story and talk to a "genius" (cof cof) and see what they say.

Google hasn't come up with anything... and I definitely would if my iPod hadn't deleted everything on it when I unplugged it from iTunes that first time. -- Posted by xoxo1234 at 12:40 pm on April 17, 2008 Quote: from ElfQrin at 3:40 am on April 17, 2008 Aw man, and I wanted all those points too. :( I have another points offer.

Get fucked Apple. -- Posted by blufindr at 12:56 pm on April 24, 2008 ^amen. stick it to the man. reset all of it. take your ipod to someone else's house and format the drive. then reinstall itunes and try to get your music back on it. i think there are other ipod-compatible synchronizers out there (mediamonkey, for example). goodluck! i had a similar problem with my iriver e10 and its company synchronizer, but unfortunately i'm stuck with that. fucking companies. -- Posted by crimsonnk at 10:54 am on April 25, 2008 Reset, retry, restart, reinstall, or restore Pages: 1 2  Next
