5G IPOD Install: Drive problem and destroyed CD/DVD drive access - HELP!!!!

5g video IPOD 30G, Windows 2000 - Installed IPOD software and Itunes. Connected IPOD and got disk access error message. Not only I can't get to my IPOD, but it did something to my CD/DVD drivers. Drivers no longer load with an error that windows can't load driver for this device.
Uninstalled itunes and ipod. Still no drive.
Anyone has any idea?

well done Josh!
In any case after the media 7.1 is removed, drivers finally loaded up OK again. Then IPOD reinstall worked.
ouch. so you were getting a code 31?
Cannot Access CD-ROM and "Code 31" Error Message in Device Manager After You Remove Adaptec Easy CD Creator from Your Computer
(although the title of the MS KB doc doesn't mention it, Windows Media 7 is listed as possible cause of this in there.)
love, b

  • Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.

    Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.
    On opening the app "Find my iPhone" I add my password and sign in, to be greeted with a screen that says;
    "Update Find My iPhone. A new version of Find My iPhone is available from the App. Store. You must install the update to continue using the app. Update now"
    On hitting the "Update now" button I'm taken to the relevant page on the App Store, to be told that I cannot update as it needs IOS8 to be able to continue and as my iPhone is only a 4 cannot install IOS8.
    I'm left going around in circles. The only thing would be to delete the app, but looks like I could not re-install the version I would need. Any body have any thoughts or suggestions? (Apart from updating my phone, I have a few months left on the contract!)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

    To get the new UI you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

  • Installed itunes 6 and now CD/DVD drive won't work at all

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

    If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
    To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
    Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
    There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?

  • IPod Mini: General Problems AND semi complicated issues!

    Hello.
    I've had my trusty Mini for about...2 or 3 years now. It's always been faithful, never having any terrible problems. But recently, I've noticed the charge time has decreased insanely. If I charged it for 3 hours, I could probably get a good 30 minutes out of it before needing to charge it again. It's that bad. Have I maybe been over charging it?
    And to my complicated problem. I had an old version of iTunes installed on my old computer. I never updated it because I liked iTunes just the way it was. Everything was good, untill the power supply on my computer burned out and took with it the motherboard. So, every shred of music I ever had was gone, except for what I had on my good 'ol iPod. I've been charging the iPod on other computers and that's been working alright (charge was already decreased). Now, I need to burn a couple of CDs for a friend of mine, but I only have the songs on my iPod. In my old iTunes, if I plugged in a second iPod other than mine, it brought up its library which I could play. And then I could plug mine in and play that later, too. But when I tried doing this on the most up to date versions of iTunes, I simply get a screen with a few tabs about settings and a bar with my memory usage, none of which bring my iPod's library up so I can possibly copy its contents to the computer. What am I supposed to do?

    About the battery problem:
    After about 400 charge cycles, the battery is only able to retain up to 80% of its battery charge, and with even further cycles, can hold even less. Read more about batteries here: http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
    By the way, it's impossible to overcharge the battery. The iPod has an I/O Controller (binary for on/off) that controls charging and prevents you from overcharging (the iPod will simply display "charged" and will not charge any further).
    About the other problem:
    I don't know of any specific, because I don't use them, but I know there are some programs out there that "reverse sync" the music on your iPod back to your computer. Try one of these.

  • Newbie problems installing Flash 11 and windows 7/SWF issues-PLEASE HELP!

    I am VERY new at Dreamweaver (llike four days in) - my church has a website & they need someone to take it over so I'm trying to help out while teaching myself something new.
    I was doing okay til now. I downloaded a free template to play with so as not to mess up their real site just yet. I was able to get the majority of the site up except for the top part with flash. Error message says: "this page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of IE. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again" This mesage comes up on the index.html, index-1.html, and index-2.html pages.
    I deleted & re-typed everything that had an SWF in it (then realized maybe I only needed to do the ones with the .swf extension, duh on me!) but I'm still getting a gray box with the "f" inside.
    Additionally, I keep having to re-install Flash because it says I have to use version 10 or higher - the browserlab worked during the online lessons offered by Adobe, but now it won't work at all! I installed Flash 11 more times than I can count but it still won't work, yet when I go to my Programs flash it's installed twice - once as a 64 bit and once without. I'm assuming one of those can go.
    I'm familiar with HTML and have created smaller websites using templates on sites like Yahoo Business, Wix and Office Live and thought I could handle this, but it's really stumping me, thought there'd be a learning curve and trial/error but WOW! Much respect to all you web designers out there, this stuff is no joke!
    If anyone could please help me fix this problem and dumb your answer down as much as possible cuz I'm admittedly very lost! I'm worried that I'll have the same problem with the church site because they want some flash aspects. Did several internet searches & couldn't decipher the programmer jargon, nor could figure out if I was doing the suggested fixes correctly.
    Thanks in advance for the help from anyone! I have a brand new computer, dell xps15 only 3 weeks old, so it's not the computer!

    FYI:  Dreamweaver questions are better answered in DW's General Discussion Forum.
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_general?view=discussions
    Older versions of DW used an Active-X JavaScript to initialize Flash in IE browsers.  Adobe later switched to a different script in CS4 and again in CS5 and CS5.5 which uses SWF Object Replacement.  I suspect your Template was made with an older version of Flash & DW which is why you're getting the nag screens. 
    Option 1:   Preview the original template pages in browsers.  If it works,  ignore the DW error messages.
    Option 2:  Rebuild the Template by stripping all Flash object and embed code and removing links to any Flash supporting scripts.  Then re-insert your media.  Insert > Media > Flash...

  • IPod Touch Restore Problems and Other

    I connected my sister's ipod to my computer and removed all the songs from it to sync all songs from the library on my computer to it - so that it would only hold one library of songs. It kept getting all kinds of errors and when I looked at the music on it, it had all the songs from the library but very few could actually be played - the rest were gray and looked to be disabled.
    I restored the iPod, after waiting for the newest system update to be downloaded, and all seemed to be going well. Now that it's done I see that nothing has changed with anything really being fixed. Actually, now it's almost unusable. My computer said that the iPod could not be restored, although now it has the image of "connect to iTunes" on it. So I connected it to iTunes, and yet it continues to do nothing. My computer recognizes it and says it is connected, yet iTunes continues to do nothing with it.
    I am extremely displeased with this matter and don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Any help or solutions would be helpful.

  • ITunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

    I bought the Apple airport router I installed it with the provided disc and that same day my iTunes would not come up. For window users I get the box that reads iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience with a box that you click to Send Error Report. Here is the error……… AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.6.2.9 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000a019a
    I figured that my music files somehow were corrupt and that shi_ happens. Well a week later I was having troubles with the Apple router so I returned it and uninstalled it from my program files C drive. Then I gave iTunes another shot and it opened. Weird, I know. Well my next router was a Net gear it worked fine but it lagged on COD4 while online with my PC, so I returned it. Then I bought a Belkin - N1 Vision Wireless-N Wireless Router and it did not come with an install disc just plug and play. That very same day my iTunes gave me that **** error again. This time I can’t try to uninstall it from my program files because it was plug and play. I already tried to do a system restore and I shut down my PC and start it back up without the router plugged in and still no luck. I also tried to repair iTunes and that didn’t work. I went to the Geek Squad and they tell me the two issues can’t be related (a router not allowing my iTunes to run). My computer is running on Windows XP Pro. I’m now playing my music through Windows Media Player. I’m in ****!!!! Can someone please help me!!!!! I also tried a few things on iTunes support and they didn’t work. I will be more than happy finically facilitate someone for helping me get my iTunes up and running like usual. Dallas @ [email protected] I’ll be checking this thread every day. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ,......"The enstaller encountered errors before the requested operations for Quicktime could not be completed. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again."
    Checking on things that can cause QuickTime launch errors and install/uninstall errors now.
    Have you at any stage installed an ACE or K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, any copies of the programs QT Alternative, QT Lite or Storm Codec, or any media converter programs that can convert files into QuickTime readable formats?
    (I'm checking on these things because depending on the versions of the programs/codec-packs, these can install earlier versions of QuickTime componentry on a PC, which can interfere with the running/installing of a higher version of QuickTime.)

  • Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.. please help!

  • Installed PSE 8 and am now unable to access RAW files through Camera Raw.

    Help! I have installed PSE 8 and
    now cannot access Raw files through Camera Raw click
    on Editor and the photographs open in Editor.
    I have tried installing the upda
    te 8bi in the plug-in and there was already a plug-in there.
    PSE6 worked fine on this system. Any help appreciated.

    Firstly thanks to the people who
    offered help. This is what I did and somehow the problem is solved. I installed PSE 8 on my old machine with XP and an old Xerox monitor and it worked OK. I uninstalled PSE 8 from the newer machine on Vista. Made sure all the adobe files for pug-ins had gone then reinstalled. I then tested the screen resolution of my monitor a HP w1907v, smaller resolutions made no difference but opening it up to max did. When I wish to open a RAW file click open click the photograph and in the bottom file format box make sure you are asking for RAW files to be opened and 'bingo'. This upgrade for PSE 8 has the latest CameraRaw on it but the problem was there from the first installation so perhaps it is a combination of screen resolution and making sure the file format for opening is specified. So after hours of effort a satisfactory outcome. I probably confused the issue by installing the plug-in when there was no need. PSE 8 will last me a long time!!!

  • Installed new version and now error message...HELP!!!

    I installed the new version of itunes and every time I try and open itunes as its accessing the itunes store, I get an error message telling me
    " I tunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". I can not open itunes at all anymore ever since the update...please someone help!!!

    Im getting ModName: webkit.dll
    and ModVer: 5.33.18.1
    Taken at face value, you've got trouble with an Apple Application Support program file. (iTunes requires a properly functioning Apple Application Support in order to work correctly.) So for that one you'll need to uninstall both iTunes and Apple Application Support and then reinstall iTunes (which normally would reinstall AAS).
    I also like to take a few other explicit precautions along the way (just in case). See the following post for instructions:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11901253&#11901253
    (Although those instructions are for a 32-bit Vista, they're pretty much identical for XP. Just read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove Programs control panel" and "Computer" as "My Computer".)

    I also am hoping someone can help - I just logged in to post this same problem.  I've been trying for days and have had no luck.  Plugged in my iPod, downloaded the update fine and it failed at "verify ipod restore" and put my device in Recovery Mode.  Can't get it out after trying tons of things, including different computers.  Decided finally to just run the Recovery and it's failing at the same part and both are giving me a "9" error.  I'm missing my iPod Touch!!
