Any Help out there??? 5G 30gig Video Ipod
After a little over two weeks of working with this thing, it just won't come out of the loop. It first started after I changed computers. I had my full library on both computers but was only synced to one of them. While trying to sync to the other computer to make it my main itunes library, I got an option to restore which I did and everything was fine. I did update to iTunes 7.0.2 and iPod 1.2.1 and still everything was fine. Until ... I tried to upload purchased music and videos just after Christmas since I got an iTunes gift card. When I synced then, I got some of my music on it but not all of it after messing with it a bit and doing another restore. I got brave a couple days later and tried to re-sync it to get the rest of my music and the videos to download and got into a recovery mode loop.
When I turn my iPod on, it says connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore. When I plug it in to iTunes, I get a message that says it's in recovery mode and needs to be restored. I restore and the same message comes right back up again and again and again and .... I've tried all the 5 R's many times, I've tried changing the drive letter, I've tried resetting numerous times, I've tried letting the battery run down and charging it at the wall. I've tried to change the path under disk management but it just comes up as unreadable. I've tried deleting and reinstalling itunes several times. I've tried using the install disk it came with to use the prior version of both the ipod and itunes. I've tried using different computers and different user accounts. Nothing is working.
I did read a thread about formatting the ipod drive and tried that. I did get it to format a few days ago. Hooked it back into itunes, restored again and it did come up and start loading my music. But .. in the middle of that upload, I got a corrupted file message which it let me skip over and then I got a read/write error message and it wouldn't go any farther and went back into the recovery mode loop. Now, when I try to re-format it again, it will not format. Under my computer, I right click the drive, wait until format comes up, left click on format and nothing. I also tried to format under the start and run .. the box pops up saying to hit enter to continue. It sits for a few minutes and then disappears.
I've had this thing for just at a year and have not had any problems with it until now. I'm a bit worried about the drive being trashed since it just won't format. Any and every suggestion would really, really be appreciated!!!
Pretty much the ipod is going to need to be repair. I would suggest taking it into the nearest Apple Store because they give you a 10% discount for older ipods towards a new ipod.

iPhoto will not initiate. Downloaded update, but not change. Any help out there?
If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -

My illustrator cs6 crashes when I use the gradient tool. I'm using a mac with mac os 10.9.3.
This driving me mad... any help out there?mr.roo,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

I can't uninstalled itunes. I get the message (itunes64.msi missing) any help out there??
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
Using Seagate 2.0 Go Flex .... initial back up just stops at about 2gb .... no message, just stops! any help out there??
I've done the reformat thing .....On another post I saw the suggestion to download EasyFind and use that to search for any Seagate software on my Mac and then remove it.
I did that, removed anything that even mentioned Seagate and .... it worked!
It has been working fine all day and allowed me to shut down the computer without freezing.
So ...... so far so good.
If anyone is about to use a Seagate GoFlex then don't download any of their software!!! -
Can I migrate from mavericks to mavericks server. Have tried using a hard drive but the but the sever does not find the migration backup when it's searches. Any help out there?
Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead? (The original source of your data) If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.

My email seems frozen. Hasn't worked for 2 days now. Any help out there?
My email has been frozen for two days now. Any help out there? The little thing just keeps spinning and spinning.
It's searching for new mail and can't connect to the server apparently,
Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Try mail again.
Or you can try this as well. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
