Title: Ipod issues
Post by: Localonthe8s on June 09, 2008, 06:04:05 PM
Guys i really need your help.

Usually, when i connect my ipod via computer and open up itunes, the ipod device section pops up and music gets synced and a "Do not Disconnect" message appears in my ipod.

Well not today.

when i connected my ipod to my computer, nothing happened to itunes or my ipod. I didn't even hear the beep whenever something is connected via USB port. Plus nothing happened to my ipod. My ipod charges but it isn't synced.

What is going on and how can i fix this?

Open My Computer and see if the iPod is visible there. There may be a drive letter conflict.

Vic, a brainless idiot could type the problem into Google and find an answer. There is simply NO excuse for these kinds of threads, not to mention the stupidity. :censored:

You really ought to try Google before you bombard everyone here and at TWCC with your daily computer problems. You'd find the answers very quickly.

Well for starters, you're going to have to throw out your computer. And since you don't have a computer anymore, you'll need to throw out your iPod and your internet modem.

Then, wait about 5 years till you grow a brain, then try again. Good luck. :)

I regret it. Seriously, there are hundreds of posts I made in TWClassics that I wish I never made
Title: Re: Ipod issues
Post by: Tyler on June 09, 2008, 09:13:11 PM
Not just there, here too. I'm sure not ever single of your 9957 posts were needed here. That's way too many in this forum's short lifespan.  And don't even start the "you're picking one me" stuff, because I say the same stuff to other who post pointless things. Ask Gil, he and I had our share of head-butts about non-essential postings.  :ninja:

That's funny, I don't recall saying that.

Why is it the same thing with you every time Vic? Anytime your confronted about something, you play innocent, then stupid. The fact of the matter is that almost 10,000 posts in less than a year's time is sky high. Your playlist and clip posts make up probably less than 1/3 of that number.

I've restarted my computer and upgraded to the latest itunes application and still it's not recognized. Could it be a registry issue?

Did you try reseting the iPod? This usually helps when I have this problem. I believe you hold either the center & menu or center & play buttons to reset it.
Title: Re: Ipod issues
Post by: Gil on June 09, 2008, 10:03:42 PM
Center and Menu. :yes:

yea i did it twice and didn't work still. I don't want to damage my USB ports by reconnecting the cable 5 gazillion times.

Thanks for the help though, everyone.

That won't do any damage.

Uhh, why on earth would it damage the ports? :unsure:
