My Nano Format Unknown after update

I was in the process of updating my nano tonight with version 1.1. During the process, my computer crashed. Now I lost all my information and songs. It shows that I have version 1.1, but it lists the Format as "unknown" and the capacity at "0 Kb". iTunes and the Update cannot recognize the iPod and Windows just labels it as a USB Storage Drive. I've also tried putting it in Disk Mode. I assume the software is damaged and need to reinstall, but how?? Any ideas??

Nano quit working after update to version 1.2

Brand new nano quit working after update to version 1.2 It worked fine before. My computer see usb storage device but doesn't recognise ipod. ipod updater that worked to let me update doesnt regonise nano either. I returned to store where I bought it, got a new one, brought it home, ran updater again now it the new one is doing the same thing. What gives? I have never had a problem in the past with updater. Is there any way to take it back to version 1.1 since 1.2 doesn't work?

This fix came from Caspar (Thank you SOOO much!). It took me 10 minutes to do this and now my beloved ipod nano is back! Hopefully this will help some of you:
Original Problem: Updated iTunes(6.0.5) and iPod nano (1.2). After the update, iTunes would not recognize my iPod and therefore would not let me remove the iPod from my computer, which seems to be the problem most people are having.
The Fix:
*uninstall iTunes, iPod, and any updates (make sure anything related to these two programs are not on your computer)
*Open Control Panel
*Click the "switch to classic view" link, if
necessary
*Double click "administrative tools"
*Double click "computer management"
*Under "storage" click on "disk management"
*Find your iPod's listing
*Right-click on it and click "format"
*Select "FAT32" and start the format
*After reformatting, remove iPod from computer
*Download iTunes directly from the Apple website (I didn't restart my computer at the prompt)
*Download 6/28/06 update for iPod (do NOT plug iPod in before doing this!)
*Open update for iPod and wait until prompt to plug iPod in (do not plug in early)
*Wait for the update....and there ya have it!!
Hopefully this will help some people, as I have spent the past 2 weeks doing the 5R's thing. After completing the steps above, I haven't had a problem with my iPod..and now my Nike+ works!! Thanks again, Caspar...you're a genius!!
p.s. if this helps, please repost this message to others who have the same problem as we do...

Export to Excel format changed after update to new Office

Post Author: Ceraq
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using the XL export format as an intermediate step to some complex calculations and ties that are not supported in my legacy system. To get what I want I simply used a CR XI report to create a mid way data file and then used a second report to crunch the final numbers from the data file. Its a long painful story as to exactly why I have to do it this way... not my choice.
Prior to the update when I exported more than ~65k lines to an XL format they remained in one sheet. So the second report would grab all the data and go... Now, after the update of office, the report gets split into seperate sheets each of ~65k records long and the second report sees each sheet as a seperate data table! I'm pushing over 1.25 million records into less than 400k in the mid data file so I'm getting about 7 sheets instead of the original 1.
I have a lot of work and time invested in this method so I would like to fix it so it still works in the previous manner... I have tried to export to a different format, but it seems that CR XI cannot export to a format that it can also read in... at least that I have found and not without creating a whole new DB for it to export into (Access). I cannot unroll the new office either as it is already enterprise wide...
Reomendations? Suggestions? Should I simply go get a few cases of Dr. Pepper and tell my wife I wont be home this week and re write everything (no plan on how I'd do that either...)?
Best regards,
Michael

Nano not seen after update

Since installing the latest iTunes update my 4 gig Nano is NOT seen at all by my G4 iMac. I cannot even install the iPod update. I reset the Nano, did repair disk permissions, restarted the computer, nothing changed. Used a different USB port. Nothing changed.

After I wrote this question I went back to my computer and decided to do some additional troubleshooting. I tried some of the other USB ports and found that fianally the Nano was seen by the computer and I was able to update it with the new software with no problem.
So now I know that I may have a problem with one of my USB ports in my iMac which may not be easier to solve but at least I have been able to get my Nano to work with my iMac.
So I have solved my own problem - word to the wise - many times the solution to your problem is right in front of you if you take the time to do more troubleshooting yourself.

How can i find all the songs that deleted from my nano 6th gen after updating? It deleted them out of my itunes library as well

When I updated my Mom's Ipod Nano 6th generation it deleted all the songs in one playlist and then deleted them off my main computer. How can I restore these songs without having to repurchase them?

Hi Luinsan,
It sounds like you’re looking for a way to recover lost music that was purchased from the iTunes Store. The article linked below should help, it will walk you through the process of downloading past purchases.
Download past purchases - Apple Support
And, you can some additional options in this article:

Take care,

I googled a lot but nothing worked yet (i even tried to revert to the backuped files. Now i am at the end of my linux knowledge and need help urgently.

I ran into the tex problem which is described here https://www.archlinux.org/news/texlive- … ervention/ and used pacdiff. Because i was lazy (yes shame on me, it will never happen again, hard lesson!), i just ran through the process which than has overwritten the passwd with passwd.pacnew, which has the following content:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/bin/false

nobody:x:99:99:nobody:/:/bin/false
As it seems now, this has also been done to the following files (backups of the old exists)
/etc/shadow
/etc/gshadow
/etc/group
So googling around someone with an similar sounding problem has resolved that by replacing the new files with the backups. So i did, but it didn't work.
Edit: pacman -Qii filesystem is giving me following List of backuped files:

Problem with Nano after Updating

I recently bought an iPod Nano (Model MA005LL). When I first tried to put songs into it from iTunes it seemed like it worked - iTunes recognized it and successfully transferred the files. Then I noticed that couple of purchased songs didn't make it to my Nano's Playlist. I realized that I had to update the iPod Firmware. So, I downloaded & installed the latest Updater on my PC (running Win2K).
That's when the problem happened - during the update process, both my PC and Nano froze. So, I had no choice but to disconnect the Nano and kill the updater process. Since then neither does my iTunes recognize my Nano nor does the updater.
I think my PC recognizes it because whenever I disconnect the USB chord, the PC complains that I unplugged a device without stopping it first. Also, whenever I try to open Windows Explorer, it behaves extremely slow; whenever I plug it out, explorer goes back to normal.
I have tried ALL the 5 Rs and nothing works - the updater freezes everytime I try to use it with the iPod; so I can't restore it using the updater.
Another strange thing is that when I click on About, it not only says zero Songs & Photos, it also says 0 KB for Capacity & Available. The version does say 1.2 though. Also, the Format says Unknown.
So, at this point of time, my Nano is pretty much useless. I would really appreciate if anybody could please help me fix it such that I don't need to take it back to the store.

look on page 16(Help Nano 2g update problem) and if that does not help there is a really good one that I used myself on page 20(Problem with the update) which has a really good step by step process that returned mine to perfect working condition.

Ipod nano 7 resets while using nike after updating to 1.0.3 PC

I've just updated my Ipod nano 7 to version 1.0.3 PC. After this it has been blocked twice when i was using Nike + app without nike + sport kit , and more the 30 minutes of exercise.
First time i had to force a reboot by pressing both buttons, second time it rebooted itself, but the record of the training was not recorded.
Problems start just after updating, i've never had such problem with this device. i've used in more then 100 runs.
I've just restored to factory, but still version 1.0.3. Can you give me some advice? can i downgrade this device toa previous version.
Thank you in advance.

One way to replace the glass is by doing it yourself. Here is a link on how to do it. Replacement screens should not be that expensive in the first place. If you would like Apple to replace it and you Do Not have a warranty then use this link to find out repair pricing and other information. If this helped you please leave a good review. Thanks

Why isn't my Ipod nano 6th generation being recognized on itunes after updating software to 1.2

Problems reading RAW format after update 6.03

I have problems reading RAW format images into Iphoto 9.6 after update 6.03 or maybe earlier updates (have not imported for a few months). The images show up like half, black or partly distorted. I use a Canon 5D mk2 camera. The images looks okey when read into a PC so I don´t think it is the camera or cables. It has been working very good before! I use a Powerbook pro 13 late 2011 with Yosemite 10.10.1.

Try downgrading back to 6.02 by following the directions in this post by léonie:

Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
in response to ceylin.e
[DocumentBodyStart:3bf5afd7-94e9-4fb4-acfa-7aa13198efec]
Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.

After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Any help would be appreciated.

After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out. Any help would be appreciated.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

After loading the 1.1 update my nano turns off after 60 seconds. is there a fix for this?

After loading the 1.1 update for my nano ipod my nano shuts down after playing the music for 60 seconds. Is anyone else having this problem and is there a fix for it? Very frustrating to have to keep hitting the sleep/wake button and then play to make the music start again during my workout.

You have probably fixed the problem by now, but I also just bought a Nano and it was very frustrating with the music shutting off before the first half a dozen bars of the song. I rang Apple and they sent me this page.... (if anyone else needs help)
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3700?viewlocale=en_US
All it was that I hadn't pushed the headphones in until they were flush up against the Nano.
Thanks Apple!

Hi, Jennifer.
First, try resetting the device. The first article will walk you through this process. I am unsure which iPod nano you have so I will include the basic article. From there, select your version for troubleshooting steps.
