2006-01-10 Updater Extreme Fix....Worked For Me....

I too am one of the poor shlobs that downloaded the latest and greatest ipod updater 2006-01-10 from everybodys favorite company..apple. I downloaded the 2006-01-10 updater on my wifes computer profile and her 3rd gen ipod stopped working with itunes but my computer profile still worked with my 4th gen ipod. So while trying to fix hers i too got the new update message on my itunes and not knowing any better i installed it. BIG MISTAKE!! Now my profile stopped reading my ipod in itunes. Error message said "The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly please reinstall itunes to install the ipod software." So after many hours of grief trying to fix the problem to no avail heres what i did and it worked for me , its a little extreme but i was ready to put them both on ebay or the garbage can whichever was quicker and say the **** with apple. First you might want to save your music from itunes, i exported mine to a folder in my music and it showed back up in itunes when i was done. Go to apple, click on support tab, in ipod support area click on ipod + itunes support, scroll down troubleshooting articles, click on "my ipod shows up in windows but not in itunes", and follow each step for removing itunes and quicktime completely off computer. When it came to emptying my temp directory i could not delete the file so i went into the file and deleted everything that i could, some could not be removed. After removing itunes and quicktime i went to start-my computer-local disc-program files-ipod, clicked on ipod and deleted ipod updater 2006-01-10 file. Then i went to start-my computer-local disc-program files-and scrolled down towards the bottom of the page and deleted anything that said ipod updater or itunes updater or setup. I also did this exact thing up to now on my wifes profile as on my profile just to be certain that there was nothing left on either profile. I then ran disc cleanup and disc defragmenter in start-all programs-accesories-system tools. Restarted computer. I then went to www.soft32.com/download_121872.html and downloaded the ipod updater 2005-03-23. Restarted the computer,(I restarted my computer alot, i would do something and restart and do something else and so on). I then connected my ipod to the computer and clicked start-my computer-right clicked on ipod-clicked on format-started format process. Then i disassembled both ipods and unplugged the batteries for about five to ten minutes and then put them back together.(google "ipod battery replacement" for step by step detailed instructions on how to do this VERY EASY to do) Restart computer. Then on my profile i connected my ipod, clicked start-my computer-local disc-program files-ipod-clicked on 2005-03-23 ipod updater. Restart computer. Then i connected my ipod and downloaded the latest itunes and quicktime sofware and restarted computer again. Then after the restart, when all my programs were up and running, i connected my ipod and VOILA itunes popped up and read my ipod and updated it. i then logged off completely and logged in to my wifes profile and reformatted her ipod, restarted and installed ipod updater, i did not need to reinstall itunes or quicktime because it was already there from when i installed it on my profile. Restarted and when everything was up and running connected her ipod and YIPPEE. Removed both ipods, logged completely off both profiles and again i restarted the computer again...yes i know...after the restart i checked both profiles just to make sure they still read the ipod and they both work WOOHOO!!! I certainly hope this helps someone else because i was literally at the end of my rope and really did not care what happened to it, i think somewhere in there i even smacked it on the table a couple of times just to vent some frustration(some say doing that works too i dont know about that but boy it sure felt good). Anyway hope this helps i tried to remember everything i did step by step to the best of my knowledge and i dont guarantee this will work for you like i said...it worked for me...good luck.

just wanted to know if you still have any problems because sometimes the pod would work right after installation but the problem comes a few days after..but this is really helpful..will try to do this over the weekend

    What exactly means "refuses"?
    This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
    “We've encountered the following issues
    Installer failed to initialize.Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
    Get Adobe Support Advisor”
    OR
    on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-
    “Adobe Application Manager required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.
    Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk”
    When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed.  Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

  • No importing fixes work for me.... help please! My job is on the line!

    Ok, the specs first...
    G5 desktop w/ OSX 10.3.9
    iMovie HD (5.0.2)
    QT 7
    Sony HDR-FX1
    Problem: Same as several posts I've read- iMovie sees and communicates with the camera, but WILL NOT import anything... Lots of people with the same problem, but the difference is that NONE of the fixes worked for me.
    I tried the GarageBand / Audio/MIDI Setup fix. Nothing. I tried trashing preferences. Nothing. I tried resetting the PRAM. Nothing. Unplugging the computer for a while, power cycling the computer and camera, switching Firewire cables, switching Firewire ports, examining all options on the camera.... nothing!
    I even tried using the Quicktime 6 re-installer. I downloaded it, began the installation, and it ended up telling me I couldn't reinstall because I didn't have a valid version of Quicktime on my machine! I was sitting there looking at QT 7!!!
    Now my job is on the line because I have video assets that are due! Can anyone help me? I know it should be working because it did momentarily the first time I tried it... imported the HDV signal like a champ... until I went to stop the import and edit my video. Then viola... iMovie crashes and all goes downhill from there.
    Anyone with any help would be sainted in my book. Thanks for reading...

    You say you've tried different FireWire ports on the G5 ..but that often seems to be the problem ..or the fix!
    Do you have a 3rd-party FireWire card installed in the G5..? If so, try connecting the cam to one of those ports instead of the built-in ports. Or try pulling out the 3rd-party card, and then try the built-in ports.
    Do you have someone else's codec installed? Toast? Flip4Mac? To avoid those, try creating a new User (..System Preferences>Accounts and press the + at the bottom of the left pane..) then log in as that User instead, and see if it works. If so, you have conflicting software in your main User account.
    However, it's not usually that: it's most often (..with a G5..) a hardware (FW port) problem, by all accounts. [..Even the Apple Store in London couldn't get their FX1 to work with their G5 when I wanted a demo of import times!..]
    So there has to be a solution (my FX1 works fine with PowerBooks and a Mac mini, but I don't have a G5) ..I'd suspect a bad interaction between different ports - or recently-connected FW hardware - on the G5.
    P.S: "..Then viola... iMovie crashes and all goes downhill from there.." Try removing the viola; it takes up too much space. Try a violin.

  • Automatic update doesn't work for limited account in windows XP sp3

    Hello,
    When I try update firefox using search for update in "about firefox" window with a limited account in Windows XP sp3, it searched (circle is running) then nothing happens (circle continues running with the text "search for update" continues showing). Automatic update never happens too even with option "install automatically updates" checked. The option "Use a background service for install updates" is checked too. This behaviour begins with Firefox 29 (Australis theme). Updates worked on previous version. I used Firefox with French localization so maybe my translation of menus, options and buttons are not right. I try to give "modify" rights for the limited account on "Mozilla Firefox" folder and "Mozilla Maintenance Service" folder but it doesn't work too. Is it a known bug ? I found on bugzilla this ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711475 ) but it is said resolved fixed. Or there is an another solution ? Thanks for your support.

    I used full installers for install Firefox. Reinstallations (uninstallation, restart pc then installation) with limited account and administrator account don't allow automatic updates for limited accounts. Only automatic updates for administrator account worked and work for both of reinstallations. Manual updates work but don't solve this problem.

  • Connected Apple TV Box tonight and it said it needed an update.  I ran the update, and it worked for a few minutes.  Then all of a sudden, a screen popped up showing that I needed to connect via USB plug to my MacBook Air to connect to iTunes.  Why??

    I conneced the Apple TV and it worked fine at first.  It has worked well for some time.  We are using them in our school this year, as well as converting to all apple products.  I have been able to pull up my computer screen through Apple TV onto our projectors.  However, tonight when I started apple TV, the mirroring icon came up, and everything seemed fine.  Then a message came up that the Apple TV Box needed an update.  I clicked on the button to run it now, and it seemed fine.  The mirroring worked for about 5 minutes after the update, then I got a screen that had a picture of the Apple TV Box and a USB cord directed toward a picture of the iTunes icon.  The light on the frontof the component flashed, and I couldn't go to the menu at all.  I wouldn't do anything.  I no longer cold see the Airplay/mirroring icon on my computer either.  I tried to shut everything off and reboot the computer and the Apple TV box.  However, none of this worked. 
    Any suggestions???  I'm a high school football coach, and this is how our team will watch film this year.  I really need to get this rectified by the end of the week, as our team will go into camp for the next two weeks. 

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

  • [SOLVED] Kernel bug fix, works for me!

    Having been hit by the kernel bug that interferes with internet access & having to downgrade the kernel to escape the bug.  I am happy to say that after reading a bug report on the subject here:
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11721
    Courtesy of a link posted by Misfit138, I found deep down in the report dialogue that the following command as root, worked for the poster of the bug:
    echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
    So I did a yaourt -Syu & found amongst other packages a minor kernel update, which did not solve my internet problems, but after su, & then entering the above command in the Terminal my internet works as it should!
    If this solution works for you, then add the following to your /etc/sysctl.conf:
    #Temporary workaround for tcp issue with 2.6.27
    net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0
    Thanks again Misfit138
    I hope this solution works for all of the other bug bitten members of the Arch (& Linux) community!

  • Can't get Extreme to work for me

    I bought an Airport Extreme in May and just cannot get it to work for me. It most likely has to do with my settings as it seems complicated for me. My ISP refuses to help me other than providing me with some router/IP info. They claim they have had problems with Airport Extremes (anti-Mac) and do not know how to help me and I should contact Apple. My ISP also claims they have been successful with their few Mac clients using NetGear and they can help with that.
    This is depressing to me because I am loyal Mac user and have never had problems with any Mac product. But I can't figure this one out on my own. I do not see phone support for the Airport Extreme and I feel exhausted by this.
    Is anyone is willing to walk me (could be painful) through this or willing to buy my Extreme and I will concede to my pro-Windows ISP. In the end, all I want is one of my computers to be online wireless.
    Sigh.

    Hi Jeanine,
    Don't assume that it is just a question of anti-Macness. There are legitimate reasons why an ISP (or a business) decides not to support this weird device. It goes against most of what is considered reasonable by the leading manufacturers, but hey, it's Apple. They usually don't care about that as long as they have loyal customers who still trust Apple.
    I'd say that the critical settings are in the Internet tab. Assuming you have your computer connected to the airport using an Ethernet cable, and that you have the Admin Utility running, go to the Internet Tab and make sure that:
    1. Connect using: Ethernet
    2. Configure IP - It depends. You say that your ISP has given you some router/IP info. In that case, you need to choose "Manually" and enter all the fields following this setting. Otherwise, they might have told you that you will be assigned a DHCP address, and in this case choose "Using DHCP." The last two boxes ("Domain Name" and "DHCP ID") are usually not utilized.
    3. For "Ethernet WAN Port" Automatic should suffice, but in my case, I had to force it to 100 Full Duplex or otherwise wouldn't work. Go figure!
    4. For Connection Sharing, most probably you'll have "Share a public IP address" but if the ISP gives you a set of addresses, you may need to choose "Distribute a Range..." Not probable, though.
    Leave the other two tabs as default, but make sure that your computer has DHCP enabled.
    Following this steps won't give you a fully working wireless network (we have not configured anything yet) but at least should give you a working state for computers connected via Ethernet wire. We can take the next step then.
    Good luck. This router (and the iPhone for similar reasons) are going to make may Apple loyal customers rethink future purchases. It has certainly happened to me.

  • Possible iOS 5.0.1 battery fix - worked for me...

    Hey everyone, I posted earlier about how iOS 5.0.1 was draining the battery on my iPhone 4.  Since there are a bazillion comments/threads, I figured I'd post it here.  Just like all of you, I upgraded to 5.0.1 and noticed - especially over the last few days - that the battery was draining rapidly.  I had no idea why, so last night, I let my battery drain & then charged it. Alas, this morning, I lost 20 percent (with virtually no use of the phone) in no time.  So, I searched a few of the forums and found a possible solution.  Needless to say, this WORKED for me.  Since I did this and then fully charged my iPhone this morning, the battery has been back to normal.  Here goes:
    Go to Settings --> General --> Reset (at the bottom)  and then select "Reset All Settings."  This WON'T reset your entire phone (you'll still have your apps, messages, etc.) but will reset some of the more general settings.  When I did it, I had to reselect the language, set up my wifi again, and a couple of other things (a ringtone or two).  It took a few minutes, and I was up and running...and still am! 
    Like I said, this definitely seems to have fixed the problem - no trip to the Apple Store or "factory reset" via iTunes necessary.  I hope it works for you all - let me know if it does. 

    Thanks for the link
    Ok, last question: I know how to restore my phone without a back up. If I do this will I lose my installed apps and music? I have all of my mp3's so worst case scenario I can put those back in my itunes. What about the apps that I have purchased? Thanks for your help!

  • Please help.  Error 16 after update - solutions not working for me

    If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.  Have spent the last three days since Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop update trying to get anything to work.  I have tried the various solutions, but nothing seems to work for me.  I am using OSX 10.8.4.  Would really appreciate any assistance.  Many thanks in advance.  John

    Blanco1234 and Capnahabnick to confirm you have both implemented the steps listed in Configuration error - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/configuration-error-cs5.html?
    If so you could still be facing permission difficulties.  I would recommend logging in as a root user and trying to launch Photoshop in that account.  If you are successful then your current user account still has compromised file permissions.
    You can find information on how to log into a root user account at Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528.

  • My theory on why the 1.0.1 update won't work for some...

    Ok, I've racked my brain and this is the only thing I could come up w/ because I'm following the instructions to a tee. I took a closer look @ the Firmware Update page and noticed this: "It now runs on localized systems that use languages that read right to left." Idk if this makes sense but could this update not be working because I did format right when I got my MBP and chose not to install the language files? The only one I kept was English which obviously isn't right to left. The people who are having the same issue as I, did you do a clean format of Tiger as well and leave out the language files? Sorry if this is a terrible guess

    Nopes, I did a clean install of OSX the day I got my MBP, installed on English language, and have since updated to 10.4.6, Firmware 1.0 and Firmware 1.0.1. None of the installers gave me any problems. For the record, both firmwares brought my temperature down, but neither changed the whine/hiss at all.

  • Can anyone make --this fix-- work for the FONT rendering issue?

    I found this bug report and proposed fix on the webkit buglist:
    http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14070
    Here is a link that one says can be used to fix the
    rendering issue with bold fonts.
    If anyone can make this work for Safari 3 on XP please let me know....
    Here are the text and link to the how to:
    You can fix rendering issues by changing language for non-Unicode programs. The
    instruction:
    http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx#EVE
    You should restart system after applying setting.
    Hope this helps someone
    If not, then call apple support and complain....
    maybe if their support phones are getting hot... then they
    will fix this horrible bug

    I don't believe this is a support issue, it's rather a Bugdev issue. Use the Bug-Report field in Safari to report this directly to the engineers. I also think the bug is known and will be solved, it's therefore not really in the range of AppleCare. (Beta Software is usually unsupported!)

  • Since upgrading to V4 all my bookmarks are missing and none of the posted 'fixes' work for me. What do I do now?

    Since upgrading to v4 it seems that all of my bookmarks have not been copied across. I've tried the fixes posted to restore them but they don't work for me. I can find the bookmarks folder in Windows but it won't import.
    My system is running Win XP SP3 with Pentium dual core processor with 1 Gb of RAM.

    Sorry, cor-el, but none of the suggestions worked. I tried deleting the more recent backups created by Firefox so that it would re-build the bookmarks from an earlier backup, but even this failed.
    I'm going to try uninstalling Firefox 4 altogether then re-installing after first saving the last 'good' version of my bookmarks back-ups somewhere safe and replacing them later. I'll let you know how it goes.
    If this doesn't work and unless someone can come up with a fix, I have to reconcile myself to the prospect that this latest version has trashed my bookmarks never to return - much to my disappointment and disgust. Firefox has never done this before and for me it has 'lost its edge' as a preferred brower.
