IPod needs to be reformated every "second use"
Hey
I am German so pleas excuse my spelling and gramma ;-(
I just reinstaled my Computer a cupple of days ago, so it´s clean, before i reinstaled it everything was working just fine.
So here is what happens, i plug in my USB conection in iPod and USB slot, it takes some time untill i get toled that my iPod needs to get reformated for use with this computer, i do reformate it, it works, i put the ~1600 i have on it, disconect it properly - and the next time i conect it we are back to waiting a while and having to reformate it...
I can´t imagin that is is healthy for the iPod to hammer it with 1600 songs every second day wen i want to put a cupple of songs or a playlist on it (aside from it being anyoing no matter how bad it is for the hardware...)
It would be great if someone could help me fix this.
I am not a profesional so it might be issues with wrong instalation of the USB ports (software wise, i did not change any hardware) but i think i got al the drivers on the computer properly.
It is telling me that i need to reformate it for use on this computer so i am pritty darn shure i can´t just put the files on it like i would wen it would work like it suposed to work (and did work sinc i bought it in september)
Again. brok down so everyone hopfully gets what i am fighting with
1. I conect the iPod
2. the i pod tells me it needs to be reformated for use on this computer.
3. i reformate it.
4. it works just fine, i can put all the songs on it like i should be able to.
5. the next time i conect my iPod to the VERY SAME computer there is minutes of it only being the USB harddrive, than i get a mesage that i need to reformate it for use on this computer (wich, yes, like formating usualy dos, deletes all files)
help would be awsome becaus after 3 days of this i feel like having a creative jukebox would be better, and that should be telling you something sigh

IPod needing to be restored every time plugged in
I have had my 120 gig iPod classic for a little under a year. I updated my iTunes and now, every time I plug it in, it needs to be restored. Once I restore it, it is fine, takes a million years to reload all of my music and is fine until the next time I plug it in. I have tried reinstalling iTunes and the same problem still happens. Can't figure it out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I don't live anywhere near an Apple store.
Doublechecking something known to cause those symptoms.
By any chance, do you have a copy of WinAmp installed on that PC?
If so, try slim's suggestion from the following post:

Updating JTable every second, want to ignore these events in my listener
I have a JTable that I update every second using
table.getModel().setValueAt(data, row, col);I'm also reacting to when the user clicks on a row in a the table, using a ListSelectionListener:
public class MyTableListener implements ListSelectionListener {
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
if (e.getValueIsAdjusting()) return;
//do stuff
}And of course I've done this:
table.getSelectionModel.addListSelectionListener(new MyTableListener());Problem is, every time I update the table data it generates an event handled by valueChanged() above. I need to prevent this.
Do I need a customized table model for this?
Thanks!Found the problem: I forgot I was using JXTable, not JTable. Here's my example:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.*;
import org.jdesktop.swingx.*;
public class Test {
JXTable table = null;//change this to JTable to fix
public class MyTableListener implements ListSelectionListener {
public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
System.out.println("event="+e.toString());
public Test()
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
String columns[] = {"one", "two"};
Object data[][] = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}, {0, 0}};
table = new JXTable(data, columns);//change this to JTable to fix
table.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(new MyTableListener());
frame.add(new JScrollPane(table, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED),
BorderLayout.CENTER);
startThread();
frame.setVisible(true);
public static void main (String args[]) {
Test test = new Test();
public void startThread()
class RefreshThread extends Thread {
public void run() { try {
while(true) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {public void run() {
updateTable();
sleep(1*1000);
} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
RefreshThread rt = new RefreshThread();
rt.start();
public void updateTable()
TableModel model = table.getModel();
try {
for(int row = 0; row < model.getRowCount(); row++)
model.setValueAt(System.currentTimeMillis(), row, 0);
model.setValueAt(System.currentTimeMillis(), row, 1);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}When I change it to a JTable, valueChanged() is not called every time I programmatically update the table.
If it's a JXTable, valueChanged() is called with every update. Annoying!
To compile/run the JXTable version you'll need something like
java -cp swingx-1.0.jar:. TestAs for the events themselves, I added print statements with e.toString() and the events are not distinguishable from user interaction. I wonder if this is a JXTable bug or feature.

Ipod needs to be formatted to work with windows
Today I was walking home, listening to my ipod and suddenly it turned off. But I thought "must be out of power". So I put it in my windows based computer and I get a small window saying that my ipod needs to be formatted to be used on windows, and that opening itunes will fix it. So it hit OK and itunes opens, and hangs for a good 3 minutes or so, and my ipod still doesn't show up in the "my devices" tab. I am using the latest itunes and have tried repairing itunes through the installer, if anyone could post some support, it would be greatly appreciated.
On the PC, click here and follow the instructions.

Animate object every second according to set values?
OK, so this has been driving me nuts for most of the morning, and I can't seem to figure it out. (But my code writing from scratch is scrappy, at the best of times!)
I have three shape layers that need to change size every second (or possibly at another set interval), but I have the sizes defined. It's an animated chart, with each second marking a month, but for thea animation to go smoothly.
I have found a handful of expressions, but can't seem to get any of them to work as I need them. I've tried this:
linear(time, 0, 1, content("mycircle").size*1, content("mycircle").size*1.3);
Which works for one second, but can't seem to get it to size for two seconds like this:
linear(time, 0, 1, content("mycircle").size*1, content("mycircle").size*1.3);
linear(time, 1, 2, content("mycircle").size*1.3, content("mycircle").size*1.4);
And I've tried this, which like the one above, only reads the last value in the script:
content("mycircle").size.valueAtTime(time + 1)*1;
content("mycircle").size.valueAtTime(time + 2)*1.3;
content("mycircle").size.valueAtTime(time + 3)*1.4;
I thought it might be possible to do with an array, somehow, but can't figure out how.
If "mycircle" size has to change every second for each month, as below:

What would be the best expression to do that? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
I'm fairly new to expressions, too. Please be gentle.Try this:
myArray = [1,1.3,1.4,1.3,1.6,1.2,1.2,1.1,1,1.4,1.5,1.2];
idx = Math.min(Math.floor(time),11);
value*myArray[idx]

so I have my ipod touch 5th gen connect and the little lightning symbol, next to the battery on the top left, keeps flashing on and off every second. I don't know what to do and also it doesn't show up on iTunes.
Hey Ed, Try trouble shooting 101. Do you have a different cable and/or charging device? If so, try the different cable first, then a different charging device. If the problem goes away, I'd say it's the cable, replace it. If with in 1 from date of purchase, Apple will replace for free if the cable is found to be defective. If the problem continues with a different cable or a different charging device, then the problem is with your iPod. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the iPod's charging port. Your looking for damage in and around the port. Is the port lose? (shouldn't be). Are pieces missing or damaged? Bent or damaged contact pins can do what you describe. Foreign debris, namely pocket lint or corrosion can also cause charging issues. If you see something like lint, try to blow it out, or if you must use a non-conductive probe, I find a round wooden toothpick works well to carefully remove the lint from the bottom of the port. Just be careful to not touch, bend or damage the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Also make sure the locking pins on the short ends (looks like two silver bumps, one on each end) of the port are free to move. If you find corrosion, try plugging / unplugging about 12 times to clean the contacts off. If you must use a cotton swab cut to fit, with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, you want it damp, not wet, then plug it in and out until the swab comes out clean. You will most likely need several swabs. If you find nothing physically wrong, then try resetting your iPod. If that does not work, restore from backup, last resort, make a backup then restore to new, a full factory restore. If issue continues see your Apple store and have it evaluated for a possible hardware issue. But start with a different or new cable. Good luck, Cheers.

Getting Image for every 2 second using AVI stream
Hello,
Could I save image for every 1 or 2 second from AVI stream (not file). It is because I have a piece of software which could capture image on live and could save the image as AVI format. However, I need the file format as JPEG format for every 1 or 2 second.Am I do it like this?
Thanks
fkliWhy don't you get a simple jpeg obtained by ftp from your program? For example I've downloaded a ftp server named webcam32 (http://www.surveyorcorp.com/webcam32) that replaces a jpeg image by ftp every second. After that, it was rather easy to write an applet that displays the updated image. Most probably your program can do that for you.
Hope yu'll find this useful. -
My iPod was on low battery level when I attempted to copy a few gigs of stuff of my Mac Mini to it.
After a few minutes, the iPod gave a beeping sound and said it was out of battery and disconnected.
Doesn't the USB supply enough power?

I am getting a pop up on my iPhone 4S asking password of my iCloud even though I feed the password but still keep on asking the same thing every second so I am not able to use my iPhone.at various times it asks different passwords.
Curretly, there is an iCloud blackout. It started this morning around 2AM California time (Pacific), 5AM New York (Eastern). A lot of people have been having issues all day, including me. No iCloud services are online. Even Find My iPhone is down.
-
So a couple of months ago, I had to restore my new IPOD 5 TOUCH because i had forgotten the password and disabled it, so as you can imagine I am quite familiar with restoring it.
(The last time I had synced it was the only time that I had to restore it when I first got it when I had disabled it)
This morning I wanted to sync my ipod. So I plugged my ipod into my WINDOWS computer and waited for itunes to open, and it did just like it is supposed to. It then said itunes needed the latest update so i continued with updating it. Itunes updated, but then said that my ipod needed the latest software. I said "ok update" and thats when itunes made my ipod into DFU mode without me even touching it.
SOOOO as you can imagine I was quite upset. I then have realized that because Itunes had moved it into DFU mode on its own, I could not manually get my ipod out of DFU mode so the only thing i was left to do was go ahead and restore it. (correct me if Im wrong)
My huge issue right now is that my ipod NEEDS to be restored, but it only stays on the "connect to itunes" screen for approximatley 20 seconds and then turns black as if it has been turned off. When I plug it into my computer and turn it on to the "connect to itunes" mode, it does open it in itunes and starts "extracting sofftware" but then when it turns black after 20 seconds, it closes out because my computer thinks it has turned off.
I have tried charging it, and nothing has progressed. Im not sure if anything can be done for it right now, or if I could bring it to an apple store to fix it... it's brand new about 3 months old.
HELP and some advice would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks!
-BTry:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When I plug in ipod, it connects/disconnects every second, forever..Win-7
My ipod worked fine when I was running XP, but when I changed to Windows 7 (32bit), it started doing this thing where it would disconnect and connect every second, for as long as it's little heart desired.
i tried:
-letting it die
-restarting it
-all possible solutions provided by itunes help
-putting it into disk mode
-reformatting it (it worked on dad's comp: win xp)
other facts:
-it still charges
-still plays music when not connected to computerHaving the same problem with Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Started about a month ago. Gen 1 iPod video that I have updates and connects fine, just not my 4Gen Nano. Sent it in for repair, they sent me back a different one, having the same problem.

i have a new mini mac and i want to use my existing external hard drive but it needs to be reformated how do i do this without loosing all my old photos?
Formatting will erase the drive.
You need to copy the photo's to either your old computer, the Mac Mini or to a new external drive and then decide what to do with your existing external drive.
For example: You could use one External drive for Photo's and one external drive for Time Machine to backup both your Mac Mini and the Photo drive. -

i am about to upgrade my ipod and want to give my old ipod nano to a friend. what do i need to do so thay can use it on their computer and create their own itunes account?
Connect it to iTunes, select the Nano in the "devices" column and click "Restore". The warning window you get will ask you if this is what you really want to do.
Your very lucky friend will essentially have it in the same condition as if she bought it new.
One more thing: if you registered it in My Support Profile, make sure to un-register it. Only you can do that. Have your friend register it under her own Apple ID.

"Last devices used" menu every second over Ovi map...
Hello all,
I installed Ovi Maps on my phone, and have a huge problem with it: Every second the"Last devices used" pops up and goes away again.
Since a few years I own (and use) a Nokia N95, and I just used 'Setup Nokia Maps Update 1.0.8.exe' to get Ovi maps on my phone. Apparently I had to use 'Nokia Software Updater' to make sure I got the latest version. Done that too.Next step is to use the Nokia Map Loader to get the maps on there. Done that too.
Here is the version info of the installed map:
I have Bluetooth enabled. Now, when I use the maps, every second the"Last devices used" pops up and goes away again. Mildly irritating would be a severe understatement here. Switching Bluetooth off and starting the map again gives the question "Bluetooth is currently switched off. Switch on?". Every second. It seems impossible to answer the popup-question or do something with the popup-menu.
Is this a known prob by anyone, and can you please tell me a fix or workaround (preferably a fix of course)?
Thank you,
wlamee
Solved!
Go to Solution.And I got a nippy reply from the Benelux Nokia Care.
The trick is I had to go to Tools -> Settings -> General -> Positioning -> Positioning Methods, and switch off 'Bluetooth GPS'. I think I always ahd this switched on and it never complained with the standard Nokia maps, but I'm not sure - I think I saw that menu only once, when I was palying with my GPS and the original maps.
But hey, it's fixed. Cool!
