iPod not being detected

 
  • I always have to go to the diagnostics window and click on "scrobble ipod" to at least scrobble the stuff I bought from the itunes store which I of course keep on my disk. iTunes always managed my ipod automatically and I tried it with both options in the diagnostics a few times but it wouldn't search for stuff itself as it did before.

    do you have an explanation why it actually worked some months ago with non-existing files? some changes like that in the plug-in? at least i didnt have any window back then that showed me a bunch of errors with files that couldn't be found.

    FWIW, 1.5.3.45507 fixed things for me. Thanks!

    I keep getting an error that says "Failed to locate iTunes instance via COM"

    any idea what this means?

    Have you tried just to re-install iTunes and the Last.fm-client on your computer? That worked both for me and for my friend with the same problem. :)

    I also get the "Failed_to_get_hold_of_iTunes_instance_via_COM" diagnostics error. I've reinstalled iTunes and the Last.fm client. This is superbly frustrating because 90% of the music I listen to is on my iPod at work, so last.fm is essentially unusable for me until this bug is fixed.

    same, but i wont get the "ipod scrobbles being determined" stuff. i tried synchronizing for like 10 times, but nothing works. it did 2 days ago, but since yesterday it's not anymore. dont know if its cause of itunes 8.0, i thought id installed it earlier than 2 days ago? ofc songs i play on itunes are scrobbled. bit weird this.

    when i do that, i get a whole error log of tracks that were not found on my computer, but are on my itunes.
    sorry for the spam peepz.

  • I thought this "Help-Diagnostic-Scrobble ipod" hotfix is only a temporary workaround. But a half year later nothing's changed at all.
