I have an old ipod. It worked great until about 2 months ago and now it says I need to restore my ipod but I can't unless I format it, but everytime I try, it says the format could not be completed. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work again?

No app is required.                                               
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • "the operation could not be completed as there is no video"

    Hi. I've been logging and capturing without incident for weeks now, from my JVC BR-DV3000 deck to final cut 5. Device control still works fine, so i know final cut is recognizing the deck, but all of a sudden when I set it to capture i get an error message that reads: "the operation could not be completed as there is no video". I checked all my connections and settings, refreshed external viewing options, and turned everything off and on again. And I just went back to see if it was the same for tapes I have already captured successfully in the past, and i get the same error message, so I know it's not the tape.
    Has anyone ever gotten this message in his or her log & capture window? Thanks...

    I get it when capturing from my mini DV cam (which is not controllable by FCP). To resolve, I have to click Capture Now a split second after I start the DV tape rolling.

  • The operation could not be completed because there is not enough space on the destination disk

    I have 124Gig of space left on my HD, when I try to export my movie i get this error "The operation could not be completed because there is not enough space on the destination disk"  I have read some of the threads went in and deleted the iMovie Preference file but no luck.. any Ideas?  Thanks!

    You need the System DVDs that originally came w/the computer in order to troubleshoot.  All Macs prior to & including ML came w/System DVDs. 
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available. 
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html  Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

  • My recently purchased IPad Air is not accepting it's own charger. It says the device is 'not certified'. Is there anything that I can do? It is the charger supplied with the iPad when purchased!

    I recently purchased an IPad Air and it has been working fine for around 5 months. All of a sudden it has stopped charging and when I plug the charger in it displays a message saying,'this device is not certified and may not work correctly' (or similar). To be clear the charger is the same one that was supplied at time of buying the product and has worked fine up until now. I am loathed to buy another one as I have taken it back to where I got it from and tried a new cable and this did not work. Can anyone offer any advise? Thanks.

    Ultimately if those things do not get it to work... the circuit board may be toast.
    I've been hearing lately that people are having the same issue with their iPhones, a friend's experience with apple tech support in the store resulted in that explanation, and he was told to buy a new phone since it was over a year old.
    good luck!

  • Error: The Operation Could Not Be Completed. There Is Not Enough Space on The Disk

    Hi folks,
    I'm running Win7, CS5.
    The specs for the situation are as follows.
    Trying to Liquify a 419 mb (645 scan) .tif file. *Thing to note* Liquify loads slowly no matter what the file size, it seems to get caught while loading around the 7th block. However, about 5-8 actions in, the error occurs and I can go no further with liquify.
    The computer.
    OS and CS5, booting from my Crucial 128GB SSD with 33.9 gb free space.
    16GB Ram
    A total overkill 2TB of Striped Raid Scratch disk space - I see the temp file does write here, and the drive is otherwise empty. All drives are NTFS formatted.
    I'm usually running a bunch of other programs, at the very least, lightroom, and firefox/chrome.
    The Raid is my sole scratch disk, and the requisite box in my performance tab is checked.
    There are, admittedly, gaps in my computer knowlege. But this is more than enough computer to handle a file of that size.
    Can someone enlighten me as to what may be going on?
    Thank you so much,
    Ron.

    You could try this:
    Assuming your scratch drive is D:...
    1.  Make a folder D:\TEMP.  Make sure your username has Full Control privileges.
    2.  Edit your environment variables so that your TEMP and TMP environment variables both contain the string:  D:\TEMP

  • When I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion my Quicken 2006 for Mac stopped working, short of paying the $59 for Quicken Mac Essentials is there anything else I can do to read my old files?

    help

    Preface: I have no experience with Quicken Essentials, but have read, quite often, on this and other forums that it is a further strip down of features from Quicken 2007.  So I agree, get Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion, but...
    BE CAREFUL with Quicken!
    When Intuit finally released Quicken 2007 for Lion v16.1.1 in March, 2013 it was a godsend for older Quicken PPC users.  It will directly open the data file from Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 PPC versions.  The upgrade to 16.1.2 with the release of Mountain Lion was also stable.
    I found version 16.1.3 to crash on opening on my Lion Mac, so I downgraded back to version 16.1.2 and all is well.  Others are now reporting that version 16.1.4, the current version sold by Intuit, is also causing some problems.  I have not been able to isolate these reports.
    My point: purchase Quicken 2007 for Lion, but ALSO:
    1.  Make copies of your Quicken 2007 PPC data file and back them up BEFORE you attempt to open it in 16.1.4; and
    2.  If you run into problems, let me know by email (michaellax) at AOL dot com.
    If it works fine for you, please report that too!
    PS: Baltwo will tell you he has encountered no problems and good for him.  But the reports of others with problems keep mounting...

  • Install Problem "Error: -48  The operation could not be completed... "

    I am unable to install the "Take Picture Action Installer" from http://automator.us/downloads.html#1026
    The error message is "Error: -48. The operation could not be completed because there is already an item with that name."
    However I created a test user on the system and was able to do the install there just fine. Anyone know how I could fix the problem?
    Thanks

    Hi Aaton
    I have not had a problem with that download (since your post)
    There is an Automator "Take Picture" action which is owned by the system (Macintosh HD/System/Library/Automator/) which appears under the Image Capture library
    The .zip file which you downloaded should go into Your user name/Library/Automator/ and is named "NYHTPROD-Take Picture.action" and appears under the Photo Booth library. It says that is the destination in the panel when you unzip the file
    Suggest you have a look around those libraries and check things are as they should be then try again

  • When I went to back up my MacBook to an external hard drive, an error message said the backup could not be completed because an error occurred when creating the backup folder.

    I used a backup hard drive for my previous PC, but I have not done a backup on my MacBook yet, which I got this summer. When I hooked it up to my computer, it started the backup fine, and then my computer went to sleep, and so I closed it to let it back up overnight. The next morning I saw that it had been interrupted, and that an error occurred; the backup could not be completed because there was an error in creating the backup folder. I'm not sure what to do now because my data has been erased off of my hard drive now to prepare for the backup on my MacBook, but will I be able to use this hard drive again? Will the error message always come up?  Is there anything I can do to fix it?

    I am always suspicious of using a different OS to the one that was used to run the backup.. ie if you used Snow L to backup then there is absolutely nothing wrong with using SL to restore.
    Mount the TC sparsebundle and verify it using disk utility.
    A5 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    You might also like to load the widget in Time Machine so you get whatever the full error message is..
    I cannot find any reference to the error code you are getting..
    My recommendation would be to try it on a different computer.. restore the whole backup to an external drive large enough to accept the whole backup.
    Use the manual methods pondini recommends.

    Hi
    And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
    Troubleshooting note
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    Creating a new User-Account and log into this
    This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
    Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
    version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
    Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
    iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
    This You do by
    First -  close iPhoto
    Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    Thirdly - now select all five options presented
    THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
    free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    Screen must be set to million-colors
    Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • I have a pop up window that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61). What does that mean?

    I am using a portable USB storage drive connected to my laptop.  I am trying to delete a file from the USB drive but it is not working. A pop up window appears that says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -61)". What does that mean and how do I fix it?  Thank you.

    All I can tell you is that is a write permissions error. How is this drive formatted? Check the file's permissions. You can try:
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
    sudo rm -rf
    Leave a space after "-rf" and drag the file into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
