How I fixed my 5g's 1.2 'problem'

Ok folks, no rocket science here, but I have been given all sorts of weird and wonderful advice this week about how to fix my 'sounds awful since the 1.2 update' 5G 60GB Ipod, everything from use ipodwizard, it's a hardware fault, to check your fung shieu man,
I've just done this fix and my ipod does everything it used to before 1.2 broke it.
1. Using windows add/remove programs I removed Itunes 7.1
2. I then downloaded Itunes 6.0.5.2 and installed it (it wont run after as your library was saved using itunes 7, so dont bother trying)
3. Then I downloaded / installed / ran Ipod updater 2006-06-28. When it conects to your ipod it will say software is upto date and so install button is greyed out , click restore instead.
4 The ipod will now be left with the old firmware on it (hurrah).
5. Now download and install the new Itunes 7.1 again.
6. When it prompts you to update the firmware on your ipod shout very loudly 'You have got to be b-l-o-o-d-y kidding' and DONT update it.
7. uncheck manage music manually, uncheck disk use, click apply and your ipod will fill its little self back up.
8. NEVER EVER UPDATE THE FIRMWARE again
9. BUY MS's Zunes player ASAP, especially if you have a 360
Like I said this was way easy, but after following many other well meant pieces of advice that didn't work, this was the one thing that did

Here is the updater for Windows

  • How to fix 10.4.6 network permissions problems

    Here is how to fix it problems with 10.4.6 and network permissions. It isn't a permission problem, per se, but rather the fact that 10.4.6's network permissions improvements also cause it to respect the Locked file flag. You could manually unlock files and folders, but for most people that is impractical. It will be much faster if you run this from the server (find/install the appropriate version of the developer tools - Tiger version of Xcode will not run on Panther - on a client machine and copy /Developer/Tools/SetFile on to the server). Also, I would try the first one first and only do the second if you are still having trouble.
    For changing directories, run this from the command line, filling in the path to your network volume (any spaces will require you to enclose the path in quotes):
    find [path to network volume] -type d -exec /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a l {} ';'
    For example,
    find "/Volumes/Network Share" -type d -exec /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a l {} ';'
    If you are having trouble with files as well, execute:
    find [path to network volume] -exec /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a l {} ';'
    Cheers,
    Nathan

    Hi Nathan,
    I want to ask you do I run
    find "Volumes/Network Share" -type d -exec
    /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a | {} ';'
    everytime I login the the network volumn? Then next time when I login to the network server, the server will not be locked. Or I have to run this everytime?
    Thanks,
    Eleanor

  • How to fix iphone 4s (searching..) problem after screen replacement

    I had a black iPhone 4S that had a cracked screen and I decided if I was going to change the screen i also want to change my iPhone white too but when I finished the whole process my iPhone kept saying (searching..) for signal no matter if there was a SIM card in or not. I also went back into the phone and checked if any cables or antenna cables were not put in and it seems like I put them in all right.. But I just need help how to fix my iPhone to read the SIM card..
    PLEASE HELP.. 

    An iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details."

  • How to FIX your iPhone 3G and iOS4 PROBLEMS!

    Does anyone know how to fix my crippled iPhone 3G after I updated to 4.0.1?

    The only way to go back to the old software has been described for you. It is not officially sanctioned by Apple. They do not provide a way to go back to former software. There is not currently a fix in iTunes, as the only thing iTunes does is provide a conduit for you to update firmware.
    As provided before, Apple is addressing the issues with 3G and 3GS phones running slow with iOS4. According to developers with access to the iOS4.1 beta, it has been addressed there. You will have to either try the Genius bar as suggested, and I understand the distance issue, or you will have to wait for iOS4.1 to be released. If a restore as a new phone and a DFU restore do not work, then I'm not aware of any other alternative except what was provided above.
    Edit: You might try and delete the iOS that you have on the computer and let iTunes download a brand new one. That might help.

  • How to fix InDesign CS5 install/program-opening problems the "right" way?

    After my second install of CS5 Design Premium, I was still having all sorts of problems with opening programs. InDesign was especially troublesome and I posted my woes at the bottom of this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/661059?tstart=0
    John Hawkinson (presumably an Adobe employee) kindly replied suggested I start a new thread so he could help me debug properly. So while the iron is hot...I'm ready...let's debug. Can it be done in an hour?
    Other comments from John H.:
    "You should realize that removing the welcome screen plugin is not  supported and can come back to bite you later on. It would be better to  fix it properly. Probably by reinstalling InDesign."

    After about a minute though, the program opened, welcome screen and all...
    Oh dear. Well, then I guess it's not stuck.
    So, we know it's not specific to your customizations from CS3 or otherwise, since it doens't affect your new user. So it's either something about InDesign's installation on your machine, or something about your machine in general.
    I forgot to ask: Do you have any font management software installed? Have you tried disabling it? That has been the source of a variety of problems... One of the things InDesign does at startup is enumerate all the fonts on your system. Do you have a really large number?
    How about any plugins for InDesign or other software that modifies its behavior?
    I am mostly out of ideas. Your Sample Process output is not very informative to me. It looks like it is in the midst of calls to the operating system (all the CF* stuff is Apple's CoreFoundation code), rather than inside InDesign's code itself. Which could implicate...the operating system's font subsystem, graphics subsystem, or, well, almost anything.
    I'm afraid I'm almost out of ideas. It would seem pointless to suggest you replace your preferences, since you started out with a clean user account.
    You can certainly de-install CS5 and run the CS5 Cleaner Tool and then reinstall. No promises that it would work, though, it might just be a waste of your time
    If you're feeling really exciting, the only other thing (other than the above) that I would try would be to go the Activity Monitor, and choose View > Send Signal to Process and choose Abort (SIGABRT). That will force InDesign to crash. The crash report may be a bit more insightful than the call graph from the Sample Process. Though it'll be frozen at an instant in time, so it might not reflect what's going on during the bulk of the rainbow-wheeling. Anyhow, the relevant section is the "Thread 0 Crashed: " portion and the lines that follow until Thread 1.
    I suppose it might be possible to instrument the CoreFoundation calls with dtrace. That's definitely not something I've done and it's probably easier to take out the WelcomeScreen plugin and soldier on. Hopefully something along the way will help before you get that far.
    And of course, you can open an official support case with Adobe...

  • TS3540 How to fix iTunes 11.0.4 (62) problem of won't connect or recognize iOS devices iPhones, iPads, iPod

    It appears that there is a flaw in the Apple iTunes 11.0.4 (62) installer related to mobile devices and the USB port. The below fixed the problem for me.
    The symptom was iTunes 11.0.4 (62) was not connecting to my son's iPodTouch 1st Generation. Many other iPad, iPods and iPhones are reporting having this problem on many different computers both Mac and Windows. >56,000 on Apple discussion forums.
    The iPodTouch was recognized by the computer and would charge but iTunes would not recognize the iPodTouch.
    All of our family's other iOS devices worked fine.
    The problem is not the computer, the cabel, the OS or the device.
    Apple's suggestions in various tech docs did not solve the problem in and of themselves. I had to go back down to the previous version to force the current version to reinstall properly:
    Deleting iTunes 11.0.4 (62) and reinstalling did not solve the problem.
    Deleting iTunes 11.0.4 (62) and installing iTunes 10.7 made Will's iPodTouch connect fine but then there were other problems.
    Deleting iTunes 11.0.4 (62) and installing iTunes 10.7 and deleting iTunes 10.7 and reinstalling 11.0.4 (62) solved all problems.
    To Reinstall iTunes: (from Apple docs)
    Quit iTunes
    Delete:
    /Applications/iTunes
    /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig
    but do not delete com.apple.usbmuxd.plist
    Restart
    Reinstall iTunes version desired
    Open iTunes to test and make sure iOS devices connect
    Restart
    Open iTunes to test and make sure iOS devices connect

  • How I fixed my Toshiba Satellite sound distortion problem

    I've been trying to get the garbled sound recording problem fixed on my Satllite L745-S4210 for months. I have been on this forum and other forums. Alot of people have given me their time trying to fix it, but I managed to do it myself. In the Microphone Properties Advanced Section is a box "enable audio enhancements" I unchecked that box and all my recordings are now crystal clear!

  • How I fixed the iTunes "freezing when synching" problem

    My version of iTunes (the latest version) would freeze whenever I tried to synch. I ran a virus check (found 3 viruses and cleaned them), then I restored my iPod in iTunes, which erases all the music off the iPod. Then I synched the iPod and the problem is gone. Not sure if this will work for you, but it did for me. Good luck.

    your welcome, all of you. But there is a sad part ot this...
    I noticed that the only option that worked for me was Windows 2000 and that the others (Windows 98/ME, Windows 95, and Windows NT) did not work. This leads me to believe that with more and more updates coming, sooner or later Windows 2000 will be obsolete to the iTunes software.
    I know a lot of people who prefer Windows 98 and 2000 over XP because of modibility and hacking ability. So for Windows to essentially throw 98 out the window and not care to make iTunes compatible with it is pretty stupid. I highly doubt those Win98 users want to shell out about $100 to upgrade just to use a free program.
    Just another piece of evidence in my theory that Apple is fading out Windows to coax people into buying more Macs.

  • How I fixed: You have been signed out problem in 2 minutes!

    Very frustratingly I was having the same problem with Creative Cloud saying you have been signed out all the time, so I was reading through the forum and got some ideas, so this is what I did and finally I can get back to work and hopefully help some of you solve this problem too:
    1. Completely uninstall CC from your computer. Also remove the exe. file from the previous download in your downloads folder, just to be save.
    2. Download the Adobe cleaner tool.
    3. Use the Adobe cleaner tool and select on the questions to remove ALL files. Make sure you have backed up important docs or images before doing this.
    4. Restart your computer.
    5. Download Adobe CC again.
    6. Accept terms and conditions.
    7. Sign in and whoala - Happiness!!
    Hope this helps some of you too.
    Adel

    Again, the "you've been signed out" strikes again!
    This is becoming very-very-very annoying, Adobe. I am starting to think about you with very-very-very bad words.
    As earlier this year, I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool, got everything wiped, after that, cleaned my computer... Last time, I have also reinstalled the entire system. Clean Windows. New and updated drivers. This have happend last week. Everything worked great.
    Today, the Creative Cloud it is once again a troll.
    I am convinced that this tool, as good and professional can be, doesn't deserve that much attention. I will not continue to use payed Adobe products. I know that it is not nice to do that, but when such a big company as Adobe consider that a minor bug as this one can be resolved by users by work-arrounds, repetedly and without any sence, and paying for that also, I start consider Adobe a scam company.
    So, P-H-A-C-K-Y-O-U, Adobe!

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try first to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    If you are on one of the latest Skype versions (>6.3), then do also this:
    Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

  • I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

    I get nothing but error messages, -
    "Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available"  or  the same with:  364? 
    Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
    I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to  give answers to how to fix these errors because when I  "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING!  Yet you give us these stupid error codes
    then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft.  How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
    to do or how to fix it. You need to  add each  error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it.  I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
    So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
    I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
    was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
    Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
    If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
    I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
    For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/add-or-remove-an-email-account-HA010354414.aspx
