ipod/itunes problems

since 4.7 came out i cannot play or load my ipod without skipping or a "tape dropout" type problem occuring. i am using with a new dell and all drivers are updated. i only transfer music from prerecorded cd's. if i play the music on home system or computer using windows media or real player problem disappears. i looked on apple's discussion section and it looks like it is happening on other people's units. i have 2 40 gig units and it does it on both. any suggestions???

Merganser, nowhere in the original post was it stated that the iPod was a high end device suitable for "critical listening", therefore your original response was irrelevant and totally unhelpful.

You might be able to find an answer to the skipping problem here.

"Lighten up Frances" is from the movie Stripes! Bill Murray, John Candy? Remember?? I did not think it was your name, it is just an expression.

The iPod is what it is. If I want to listen critically, I load a disc in to my CARY CD Player. If I am on the go then the iPod more than serves its purpose. Even for entertaining, I use iTunes and stream it wirelessly into my Cary SLI-80 or into other rooms of the house. Is it the absolute in resolution? NO! But it serves a useful purpose.

My whole point is that it is NOT COOL to discriminate based on a component that you do not think sounds good. We all have opinions, and some of us, Tin Ears. It is really about the music no matter what component it is being played on.

Peace,

for any of you out there, dell has finally come to my aid. it seems that microsoft service pack 2 has some issues affecting the bus drivers(?). by uninstalling service pack 2 and reinstalling service pack 1 so far the problem has not occured. supposedly it only affected microsoft xp users. sorry for the stink this discussion caused

My young niece wants an Ipod for Christmas. Ipods make music. We talk about music here. 'nuff said...on the above asides.

Oh, to learn more I went to my firefox search engine and toyed with various searches in the google search engine. I was amazed with the chats I found doing searches like...ipod problems....ipod support....ipod venting.

Since I am on a bit of a learning curve I look forward to such discussions here.
