Can anyone help? Itunes installation problem with my ipod shuffle.

Hello
I've just bought an ipod shuffle and to get it up and running I need to install itunes 10 (I have a mac with itunes 9) . My computer won't allow me to do this, everytime I click on the itunes icon it says 'Couldn't open "Install iTunes.pkg". This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5.
Thanks

iTunes version 10 is not compatible with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.x). You'll need to upgrade your system to Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) before you can install this version of iTunes, which is required for you to be able to sync and use your Shuffle.
You can still purchase Leopard from different stores online.

Can anyone help me? Problems with external mixer?

Hey all,
First off i would like to say hey to everyone as i am new so i hope someone out there can help me and me likewise in the future.
Onto my problem. I recently bought an Alesis Multimix 8 USB and i am having a few problems with my iBook recieving the left and right signals from the device. I am currently running it through Ableton Live however when it recognises the mixer it says that there is only one input, the left one.
For the work i am trying to do i would need the left and right inputs to act as seperate channels into Live. When i first bought the mixer it worked fine and Live read 2 inputs easily however now for some reason it has stopped seeing one.
I think it may be a problem with the audio software in OS X 3.9 but i am not sure, i am trying to repair what i can however it seems to me that the only option i may have would be reinstalling 3.9 again from scratch.
If anyone has any ideas about what could be wrong or how to get the 2 inputs back i would be very grateful.
Please help me as this is driving me mad!
Cheers
Jon

Hi Jon and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I cannot pretend that I know anything about your subject but a couple of non invasive things you can try before resorting to a re-install. (Usually a last resort with Macs).
1) Have a look at Audio MIDI setup in your Applications>Utilities folder and see if there is a setting there that with resolve your problem.
2) Create a new user in System Preferences>Accounts.(always a good troubleshooting measure this, whatever the problem). Log out of your own account and into the new. Does the problem persist? If it doesn't there'll probably be a preference file somewhere to do with the device you are using.
If the problem does persist then it could be the unit itself, the lead (have you tried a different one/port?), or - worst case scenario- a hardware/sw problem with your iBook.
Not a lot of constructive help, I'm afraid, but some avenues to explore…
Best of luck,
Adrian

Can anyone help; re: Faxing problems with my 6200 all in one

Our HP office jet 6210 which we use only for faxing and minor printing intermittenly goes crazy with blinking red and amber lights
when a fax is being received or when we are sending one. When the fax fails and we stop the blinking lights, it self tests then turns off. Sometimes when it does this we get an error message printed that says "Power Failure." The party being faxed gets 1/2 a fax or 1 page out of 5. I'll unplug it from the electric and plug it back in and then it will work fine for a day or two. We have tried faxing from the glass when we have problems and that seems to work when self-feed faing doesn't. We have not installed any drivers as this is not plugged into a computer but stands alone with it's own designated phone line.
Any ideas??? The machine is 5 years old and has never given us any trouble until now. Is it time to upgrade?
Thanks so very much!!!!
Joanne

I have a new photosmart plus printer B209a CD035A and I have never been able to set up the fax, I get a message saying that the phone line is not connected to the modem, the phone is connected to my modem or I would not have an internet connection, perhaps I am not understanding it, I have the printer set up wireless now but it was wired before and I still could not set it up, I purchased it in April this year along with my new desktop Elite HPE-150f model AY603AA, using windows7 64 bit, now I have a problem with the alignment, all the fonts are cut off down each side which makes it hard to read instructions, can someone give me some help with this. The alignment problem has only just started this past 2 weeks. thanks

Can anyone help? having problems with Spry Horizontal Menu in IE

You have a set of conflicting widths:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li { width: 12em;}
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul { width: 8.2em;}
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li { width: 13.5em;}
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul
    margin-top: 0%;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-left: 100%;
    position: absolute;
So, to translate:
All list items will be 12 ems wide
First submenu list (ul) will be 8.2ems wide
First submenu list items will be 13.5ems wide
this supersedes the 12ems for all sub and sub-submenu list items
Sub-submenu lists (ul) will hang off the right side (margin-left: 100%)
Internet Explorer is interpreting #4 to mean at the right side of the ul (which is at 8.2em)
Other browsers are interpreting #4 to mean at the right side of the li (which is at 13.5em)
I believe that is what is happening on your menus.

Can anyone help on integrating Unifier with WebCenter Portal ? We are looking for a solution where we can show Unifier pages within WebCenter Portal application. Is this possible ?

If you simply would have posted here first, there are plenty of people who would have informed you of the current policy to have a data plan active on an account during the entire contract if purchasing a discounted smartphone.
Unfortunately, there are just as many on here who would claim the people informing you about this policy of being Verizon plants spreading disinformation and trying to make people afraid to upgrade via this route.
Yes this is a new policy, one which has been pointed out multiple times in these forums. Good luck, but I doubt you will have an outcome over this which will make you happy.
Verizon is closing as many loopholes to keep unlimited data as they can.

A problem with my ipod shuffle and vista

Hello all,
was wondering if anyone could offer some ideas on this. My flat mate just moved and I was using his mac for my ipod shuffle. I have just bought a Dell with windows vista and have put itunes on it. When I put my ipod in the USB port, vista says it does not recognised it and my ipod does not show up in the source area of itunes. I have tried to reformat it but the recomended program is incompatible with vista (it says only it works for XP).Is there any other way to reformat my ipod for vista? or is there a vista program available somewhere else.
many thanks Kim

Hi there.
I have similar problem with my ipod nano.
I recently bought a new PC with Vista, and for some strange reason, initially my ipod was recognised as I was able to transfer purchased music from my ipod to my itunes.
However now, a week or so later, every time I connect my ipod in the dock, it says "USB Device Not Recognised".
I have tried to restore my ipod software, but it wont let me do that, saying that it has a fault and needs to be replaced!
I initially thought it might be an ipod problem, but the store say it works fine, and restored (and wiped!) my ipod but it still doesnt work!
I connected a friend's ipod and the same thing happened.
So although I can listen to music in my itunes I cannot synchronise my ipod... what am I supposed to do?!
Its very frustrating... does anyone know the solution please please please!

Anyone else having WiFi problems with the IPod Touch 5th Generation?

I upgraded my old IPod Touch 3rd Generation to a 5th Generation yesterday. I've noticed however that for some reason the wi-fi connection on the 5th Generation drops off all of a sudden for no reason at all and I can't figure out why. Anyone else having similar problems? If so what did you do?

Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect OK?
Did the iPod connect before?
If only your network then it could be a problem with your network
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Anyone else having this problem with the iPod Touch 5g?

I just got the iPod Touch 5g tonight, and I love it, however I have this one little issue with it. Here's a picture of it. As you can see, the app I'm using isn't taking up the entire screen. Is anyone else having this problem? Is this something that needs to be fixed with an update for the app? Several of my apps do this.

The app isn't optimized for the larger screen. You just need to wait for them to update the app.

Problems with new iPOD shuffle

Just got a new iPOD shuffle, and can't get it to work. i followed all the troubleshooting directions (worked on it for about 2 hours, twice)with the same problems. Updated the software version, restored the settings, no help. I copied all my CD with no problem, and the PC plays them perfectly in iTunes. Have the follwing errors. I think this is just a bad unit:
1. "Cannot read or write to disk"
2. "Unit could not be restored. Unknown error occurred" (1418).
3. "Unit could not be restored. Unknown error occurred".
(-50)
Any ideas??

Try to restore it with Apple's restore software:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305204
They recommend using this if itunes cannot restore the ipod.
Another ideas I ran across when solving an error (Windows cannot load installer for volume. Contact your hardware vendor) I was getting, in case the above didn't work:
When you plug the device in have my computer open. When you see the device (F:?) right click on it and do a quick format. That apparently cleared up a lot of user's problems.
If itunes opens before you do this it won't work or will disappear from my computer.
If this doesn't work, did you get any error warnings when you plugged it in that could be causing it?

How can I get iTunes to recognize my new iPod shuffle?

I have a new iPod shuffle, but when I plugged it into my MacBook Pro to charge it and put music on, nothing happens. It does not appear to be charging and does not show up on my iTunes. The USB port works fine, and iTunes recognizes my iPhone and iPad. Is there something I am missing here. or should I take it back to the store as defective?

Hi all :-)
I have also a problem with a new ipod shuffle
I plug it and itunes alerts me that something went wrong.
I have MBA 13" 2012 on Yosemite, Itunes is up to date
If someone has a solution. Thank you

Hi, I have a problem with my iPod shuffle

Hi, the music is heard as if slip. It listens like a karaoke track, the voices and the music background and stronger.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks a lot!

Make sure your headphones plug is fully inserted into the headphones jack. The fit can be tighter than expected, especially when it is brand new.
If that does not help, try using the different set of standard headphones, to rule out faulty headphones as the cause.

Problem with my ipod shuffle 2nd generation

My ipod shuffle 2nd generation was fully charged and is able to sync with my computer but when i turn on nothing happens it does not blink and no music came out what should i do?

It's not good to store a rechargeable lithium-based battery completely discharged for an extended period. The chemicals that make the battery work will age in a way can make the battery incapable of holding a charge. Since that's a 2nd gen shuffle, it's been sitting unused for about six years. I have a 2nd gen shuffle, and it still works well, but I've charging and discharging the battery at least once each month through normal use.
You may be able to have the battery replaced, but the cost (parts and labor) is likely to exceed the price of a brand new 4th gen shuffle (about $50).
