ah,
I have observed that even though the status message advises you to press command-. to stop, it does not work when we are locked up. it only works when sync is progressing normally and we decide to quit the process early.

Hi Chris,


Are you referring to Command+Period?  This is one of the items that  
gets announced in the Player Status window as a way to stop the  
process of the sync. The problem is, depending on where he was in the  
process, that might not have provided a fix (at least from my reading  
of some instances of the Apple Discussion Forum posts troubleshooting  
the first connections setup with the Nano 4G), but it's a good  
thought.  In the case of multiple background processes I think it only  
applies to the one currently active.


Cheers,

Esther

Dono, David, you tell me, I'll give you a hint.

It's some modifier key, pressed in combination with the period.

If you rtfm, you may find it.

Hi David,


Are there any messages in the Player Status area?  When I ran the  
set

up (with an initial sync, but with less than the capacity of the

player in my iTunes library), I monitored what was happening by  
using

VO-up arrow twice to get to the Status Window. (Actually, I just

quickly use VO-right arrow until I found this, but I think if you  
VO-

up twice you hear "Full Volume Button and then the Status Window.
Alternatively, if you VO-right, this comes after the "Previous",

"Play", and "Next" buttons).  You have to move off and on this  
window

to hear current status as things update. If you get "Busy" messages
you may not be able to move your cursor this way.  What happens now.
Does the window say "Idle"?  Could you eject the iPod in the source
table (Command-E) and, (only) if it then disappears from the source

list, unplug the USB connector and reconnect it?  Then you could  
stop
interacting in the source table and VO-right twice to see whether  
you

can detect the device again.  You should come onto the Summary page

that gives you the serial number, device properties and capacity,  
and

current usage information.  There will also be an options section

where you can check the boxes for your sync preferences and check  
that

the box to enable spoken menus is enabled.
You'll probably have checked:

Open iTunes when this iPod is connected
Sync only checked songs and videos
Enable spoken menus for accessibilty.

and leave the options to manually manage music and videos and enable
disk use unchecked.


Once you make the changes, VO-right to the button to "Update".   
Don't
sync yet because you need to select/check the content you want  
synced

on the tabs fro Music, Podcasts, etc.


At that point you can go through the tab setups for Music, Movies,  
TV

Shows, Podcasts, etc and set your preferences for what to sync. VO-
right to each tab and press (VO-space) to select.

HTH

Cheers,

Esther
