2nd gen ipod shuffle will charge with one computer (vista) but not the other computer (windows 8).  Please help!

My 2nd gen ipod shuffle will charge on my old vitsta computer but not my new windows 8 computer. Does anyone know why that might be? The new computer recognizes the ipod and I can see everything on it, change settings, etc. it just won't charge. Is there a reason as to why this should be happening?

Just bought a refurbished 2nd generation ipod
shuffle. I am running the very latest version of OS X
and iTunes on an iBook G3 600 mhz with the slower USB
ports, not 2.0 ports. The ipod mounts and is
regognized by itunes, but I cannot seem to register
the ipod from itunes, it always has an error message
when I submit to register (all forms are filled out
correctly). The registration window in iTunes shows
that this ipod is formatted for Windows (from the
previous owner I assume) and may be causing my
problems?
No. ALL shuffles are FAT32 format.
The other problem is that it will not sync and
transfer any music from itunes library. I am trying
to transfer simple mp3 files that should be compliant
with the ipod specs. No luck even after multiple
restarts on the ipod. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.

  • Panasonic TV. Apple TV works with one HDMI input but not the other.

    I have the latest version of Apple Tv and an older Panasonic TX32LXD60 Tv. The TV has two HDMI inputs. Apple TV works perfectly on HDMI1, but shows nothing on HDMI2. I am using exactly the same cable. HDMI2 works fine with my DVD player. Can anyone explain how I can get HDMI2 to accept Apple TV?

    Update - Panasonic support wrote the following:
    "Thank you for your e-mail enquiry regarding your Panasonic product.
    I have discussed your issue with our head office AV technica ldept & they have confirmed that as the DVD player works on the HDMI input there is nothig wrong with the TV. It may be there is an incompatability with the apple TV interface & the TV. Nothing can be done to solve this as there would be not adjustments you could make to the HDMI inputs on the TV."
    so according to them its not their product!
    I have solved my problem by getting a Samsung TV - brilliant picture and no technical problems (so far!!)

  • I can sign into iTunes with one user id, but not the other

    I am trying to update all apps.  I tried to sign in under my main id, and it says it cannot connect.  No error code.  I tried under my other id and it worked great.  What would cause my main id to not work?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I hope it's something easy that my brain just doesn't want to see.

  • I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer.

    I can't get my 2nd gen. ipod shuffle to charge on my new computer.  I can prompt itunes, sync, and add/delete songs, but not charge.  I've tried to restore but that didn't work.  Advice?

    Without telling us what computer models and OS versions, as well as how you're trying to update, not much help can be given.  It has nothing to do with the number of computers you have. 
    This question should be posted in the iTunes forum, not the iPhone.

  • "printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

    printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

    This is pretty common to see when your firewall kicks in and blocks certain communication paths the printer takes.
    Here's a list of ports and programs that when allowed through the firewall, will restore communiction.
    Ports to open:
    UDP ports: 427, 161, 139
    TCP ports: 9200, 9220, 9290, 9500
    Programs to allow:
    hpiscnapp.exe
    hpoews01.exe
    hpofxm08.exe
    hposfx08.exe
    hposid01.exe
    hpqkygrp.exe
    hpqste08.exe
    hpqtra08.exe
    hpznui01.exe
    hpzwiz01.exe
    SLP_Service (also known as UDP 427)
    Have your security software provider walk you through allowing these items through your firewall.
    If this does not fix your issue, it is most likely an issue with the driver configuration. Your router may have assisgned the printer a new IP address and this can be changed in the properties of the existing driver.

  • HT2731 I have 2 apple iPods on the same account, And they have the Same songs on them. How can I get a new account for one of them but not the other? Can I wipe the memory of 1? How would I do that?

    I have 2 iPods one I don't use anymore. I would like to make a new account for one but not the other. Is that possible? If I wipe the memory in one will the other wipe out too? How can I do all of this?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • Can Vid Chat with one computer login, but not the other--HELP!!!

    When I login to my computer using my account, I am unable to video chat. However, when I login using my daughter's login, I can video chat. What gives? As far as I can see the settings are all the same. I can get as far as sending an invitation to video chat with somebody, but then it just churns while waiting for the other person to accept the invitation. In other words, they accept, but the last connection step doesn't happen. It happens when I'm logged in under my daughter's computer login, but not mine. Also, when I get an invitation to video chat, the same thing happens. I accept and then it just sits and churns waiting for that last step. I have a .Mac account and she has an AIM account, but it doesn't help when I switch to my AIM account. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

  • Request for advice: TM/TC fails on one Macbook Pro, but not the other?

    Dear All- looking for some advice.
    Background: I installed a 1TB TC about 3 months ago to improve the wireless connectivity around the home/small business and to act as 1 stop backup- primarily for 2 main Macbook Pro’s. Everything seems to work fine, with the exception that the time machine will only successfully back up one Macbook Pro (my wife's) and not the other (mine). In fact I have NEVER been able to get a full successful backup for my machine since I bought my TC.
    Scenario: My wireless router from my TC services 2 Macbook Pro’s, 1 iMac, iPhone, Sony PSP, Sony PS3 etc. All successfully and at a good speed. The TC also runs time machine for backups on the 2 Macbook Pros. One MBPro (my wife’s), has worked like a charm and flawless (pre Oct 2008 model 4.1, 2.5Ghz Intel core 2 Duo, 4GB (667MHz)DDR2 SDRAM, OSX 10.5.8, 250GB HD, 512MB video). TM Backup over wireless to my TC works great. While the other (mine) I have NEVER been able to get a successful backup once (MBPro post Nov 2008 model 5.1, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB (1067MHz) DDR3 RAM, OSX 10.5.8, 300GB HD, 768MB Video).
    Problem: I have tried a number different combinations of backup without success. I have diligently read numerous posts before coming here. My attempts include, preferences resets, full disk erases (re-named the disk several times), wireless connectivity, hardwired connectivity (i.e no other devices connected), some software running/ no software running, in sleep mode/without sleep mode, all at once backup or intermittent backups.
    All provide me with the same message that it is not able to complete a full backup due to a writing error ‘Backup Failed’. At this stage I would not be convinced that the TC is actually working properly, with the exception that it works flawlessly with my wife’s Macbook Pro (yes every time I erase the drive) and that the wireless connectivity is great. My account preferences and setup/access for the TC/TM are identical to the machine that works. The volume I am trying to backup on my machine is ~258GB, while my wife’s machine that works is only around 78GB. I thought this may still be the source of the failure, but cannot see a work around or why.
    Considering I bought the TC to allow a solid reliable backup, I am still unhappy and would like to continue to work for a resolve. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the discussions, xSDP!
    Apologies if you have already tried this, but I couldn't find it in your detailed list of prior actions.
    Note the exact name of your hard drive on your computer. If you haven't changed this, it will be named Macintosh HD
    Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Click on the icon on the left side of the window that has the exact same name as your hard drive on the desktop
    Click Repair Disk Permissions
    It will probably take several hours to do this, so allow plenty of time.
    Once the process is complete, see if you can backup now.

  • Audio audible in one Encore timline, but not the other?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue in an Encore timeline for Blu-ray with an MPEG-2 and AC3 file.  It's odd because with the exact same file specs for both video and audio, I'm able to hear the audio from test project timeline (shorter in duration), but not the full length project timeline (roughly an hour and half in duration).
    I'm in the process of burning a disk to verfiy that the audio is simply not there, rather than a playback issue with the longer project, but can anyone suggest what might be failing here?  Again, the two projects appear to be identical in settings and file specs for video and audio, only the duration of one (working) is shorter than the other (not working).
    The audio file has been validated outside of Encore as playing back audio.
    Thanks for anything thoughts anyone might have here.  Btw, the project has no menu screens.  It is for a "play only" Blu-ray disk.
    Mtbakerstu

    Stan, thanks for the questions / feedback.
    As it turns out the file specs were not identical !  No fault of Adobe- an ingest / encode application from another company mysteriously swapped out channels 1/2 of audio to 5/6, and were not readable in Encore.   This information was not readiliy accessible within Encore, but was discovered in bringing the audio into Final Cut Pro (where it could be heard).
    Thanks again for your thoughts, as always.

  • How do I separate my music from my husbands to just go on my ipod shuffle?I know I need to manually pull the songs over...please help I need step by step instructions

    Need step by step instructions on how to separate my music from my husbands that I purchased on Itunes.I know my account is listed to set up manually...I just forget how to do it.I know I need to drag each song over right???Please advise

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer. iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.

  • We have two users on 1 computer tools, history, etc show up on one user screen but not the other how do i fix this

    We have one computer in our home and two user accounts, his and hers. On my account at the top of the page I have file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools and help.

  • Washed Out Color on One User Account But Not The Other

    Heyo,
    I'm on my second Macbook Pro. Apple had to replace the first one. But that's behind us.
    Anyway, I have a bit of a predicament. I've noticed that the colors on my main user account are washed out and dull. I created a new user account to see if the problem was a hardware or software issue.
    The thing is, the account with washed out colors has Adobe Photoshop, and the rest of the Design Premium CS3 suite - as well as Final Cut Studio 2 - but these are not on the other.
    So, I'm guessing that this issue is connected with CS3 and FCS 2.
    This issue appears regardless of what color profile I use. But I normally use the Adobe RGB profile - which is what I used to test the other account.
    Any ideas what I could do to get my color back? Is there a setting I can change for this?
    Thanks for any help,
    Michael

    I'd try to isolate a corrupted user preference file.
    Apparently, Diskwarrior now claims to fix those. Or you can just look through the preferences folder in your user folder and start pulling some of those out to the disktop, log out and then log back in and see if that does anything.
    When something is affecting one account but no others, I think the clear majority of the time it is a user preference file that is responsible.

  • CS5.5 Premiere Pro & After Effects launch in one user profile but not the other

    I’m having two issues. One with AE getting hung up on loading the MediaCore and the other with Premiere Loading the ExpoerterQuickTime.bundle I’ve looked and looked for solutions and haven’t found any with my problem.
    I’m running a Mid-2010 MBP 8GB RAM with Lion and CS5.5 I’ve done a uninstall and reinstalled and still same problem. It works on other user profiles on my computer but not mine and that’s the one with all the content! Any help?
    I launched AE with Alt+Command+Shift down which reset my preferences and whatnot but then it gave me a warning about the MediaCore and let me continue but now it's hung up on the the user interface. I don't know what to do. Any help from anybody would be greatly appreciated!!!
    UPDATE
     Loggin in as the Super Admin User worked for Premiere for whatever reason which is awesome! Thanks!
    However After Effects is still looking for that MediaCore. And now Media Encoder isn't working. (Not that I really use it but if it doesn't work the issue might be somewhere else. Again. I tried all of these in the Super User account and the other normal account and they worked fine. Just not here in mine. Any ideas for that?
     I don't have any firewalls up, It's all wide open. And I tried the second option there of removing all of the quicktime plugins in the Quicktime folder but it still gets hung up on the MediaCore.
    I went into the super user and edited a AE project then came out and open the project instead of the dock icon and it went on and gave me the quicktime isn't installed bit and something might not work properly. But from playing around in it I've not seen anything different. This is an extrememly frustrating situation. I can get both programs open now but it's all janky and isn't working properly. I consider Premier to be a done deal, it's got no issues. I just need to figure out this mediacore business.
    Original Post from the Premier Forum, thought I'd get better luck here in the AE one. Thank you for any help!
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3901233#3901233

    Yea, it's the main account i use. So I got all the permissions set up correctly. The rest of the CS suite open just fine it's just those two that give me hickups.

  • ITunes recognizes one Airport Express but not the other

    I have two Airport Express and have updated both with V6.3. Now when I try to connect iTunes to the stereos to which they are connected, one works fine, the other says "The remote speaker is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I'm running iTunes 6.05.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Answered myself. Both Airport Express were sharing the same IP address. Changed one over and now everything works fine.
