Message says I need OS media to reset computer password. What does this mean?
I bought a used computer and can't install anything! Blows my mind, can you help me please?
OS 10.6.8
It is asking you for the discs that were included with the computer when it was sold. That is what the message means.

You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
Simply going there does nothing. -
Everytime i hit the "Check for Updates" button a message pops up and says " the ipod software update server cannot be contracted" What does this mean and hoiw do i fix it?
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
I've put in the serial number on the apple website, and it says that the product hasn't been "activated". What does this mean?
Does this mean that the warranty still stands as new?I had the same problem, though mine was with an iPhone 5. I phoned the Apple folks and they told me they had the record of my purchase, and indeed my purchase date had been recorded. It took a couple of weeks, but the data eventually showed up correctly online.

I strongly recommend AIDA64 to show everything, temps, fans, chips, drivers and versions

I keep receiving an error message when i try to sync my phone of : 1450 What does this mean?
I keep receiving an error message when I try to Sync my I phone 4. It says Can't Sync 1450. What does this mean? I've had this phone for over a year with no problems.
Yep. Tried that. And just did it again.
Still no joy. -
HT1452 Repair permissions says Group 0 should be group 80...what does this mean?
What does this mean...Group 0 should be 80?
Some say Group 80 should be 0?It just means the item is assigned to the wrong owner. 0 is the OS, 80 is the admin user. So the item's permissions were improperly assigned to the OS as the owner rather than the admin account.

okay so last night i went to charge my ipod in the computer and it started working then i took it out of the computer and put it on a wall charger and it had a spasm attack and shut itself down, after that it said i had to connect it to itunes so when i did it kept telling me that i need to restore my ipod, but when i press restore the itunes said "the contact server is not avalible" or something similar to that, what does that actually mean and is there anyway i can fix my ipod. i have dropped my ipod a few times, on tiles, wood, in a gutter of water when it fell out my pocket but im also wondering is it something to do with my ipod or is it itunes?
Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
The abuse may prevent a restore or prevent proper operation of the iPod if you can restore the iPod. -
What does "the Apple Mobile Device service is not started" mean? I updated iTunes and I got this message when connecting my iPod Touch (2nd gen).
Never mind--I think I found the answer through other posts. Thanks!

When I-tunes is trying to sync my phone, I get a message regarding Data Class Information from Sync Services saying they were unable to do this. I have no idea what this means. I have not been having any problems with syncing info from my computer to phone until just now. I am trying to install new alert tones from an app that I purchased. The alert ones are now in my library on I-tunes and they play but they are not syncing to my phone. The snycing options is not available in my library and when I try to manually sync these tones, nothing is happening. I recently purhcased ringtones from the I-tunes store and from my phone and they downloaded with no problems and are synced onto my computer and are showing up in the same library list as the tone alerts which I cannot seem to sync. I have no idea why this is. Please help!
In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert -

This occurs ever time I start my computer. It does not seem to impact anything I do. I just click OK and it goes away with no apparent harm.
Thank you so much for answering a question that has been bugging (no pun intended) me for so long. I am not a technical person at all, as you can see by my assumption that this was a Firefox and not a Windows situation, and I would have continued to just kept on hitting the OK button forever. I opted out by disabling the option but I copied the solution to a Word document and placed in a file just in case I needed to reverse in the future. Thanks once again for your quick response and interest in helping. Ed
