Moderators Andavari Posted March 14, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 14, 2017 Check on SourceForge.net. I noticed an iPod repair program on there many years ago but I don't remember the name of it, and it maybe worth a shot if your iPod has become useless. Note I never tried the program since I've never owned an iPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigathus Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks Andavari However I got it working again before seeing your post. It seems most (even Apple techs) recommend uninstalling itunes and reinstalling the latest version. However just uninstalling itunes doesn't work. Itunes installs with some other program's that need to be uninstalled as well! see list below. In theory these 4 program's listed below should update with an itunes update! well I'm guessing thats what used to happen. 1/ Apple Application Support 2/ Apple Mobile Device Support 3/ Apple Software Update 4/ Bonjour The 4 program's above are all part of itunes and will all reinstall with the latest version of itunes again Bottom line! This is a very common problem with ipod & itunes and this is the safest and easiest way to fix! http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/docs http://www.postimage.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DennisD Posted March 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hey Craig! Where on earth have you been hiding yourself? I think you've even surpassed my missing months off here. Good to see you again and I hope all's good with you my upside down friend. Pleased you fixed your syncing issue, and I read somewhere recently that Apple may be moving away from having users tied to iTunes. That would be a great move as ITunes, although usually good at what it does, is something I would never have on my computer again. I'm a Sony Walkman fanboy and sync it faultlessly with Windows Media Player. So easy and painless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
