Can not sync ipod shuffle says : The Ipod SYS cannot be used with itunes because it is not formatted properly. But i have restore it several times and still not working
Hi, I'm trying to sync my new Ipod to get the new album I got but when I connected it the meesage: The Ipod SYS cannot be used with itunes because it is not formatted properly. appears in itunes. I have restored several times now but it is not working I already downloaded music to it, it is brand new..just 2 weeks old. Somebody can help me? Do I need to return it to the store I bought it from?
The last Restore completed without any error message, or do you get the "ipod SYS" error message?
I'm thinking this is a case of iTunes and Windows confusing the iPod's storage disk with another drive, described here
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1493
So, iTunes/Windows thinks another drive is the iPod, and errors out because that drive is not formatted as expected (for an iPod). The solution, in the document linked above, is to change the iPod's assigned drive letter.

My ipod touch stopped playing videos and music for the past three days rest all are working fine.
I doubt the sound system is gone. i tried restoring it several times. I havent mishandled it. Few days back there was audio distortion and slowness so i upgraded to the iOS 5 but the audio/ video doesnt work. Alerts ,sounds ... donot work..Please help me out...Try a restore to factory defaults/new iPod. If still problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Please help!
If you bought it used, try the internet recovery suggested - using Command + Option + R and then wiping your drive before reinstalling is the only way to disassociate the OS and apps from the previous owner's Apple ID. You can then add your own apps, upgrade, etc. using your own Apple ID.
If it's new, then there is an entirely different problem as your Apple ID should work. -
I have attempted to upgrade latest version from main Firefox page, but still have the message on main page that I need to upgrade, that I have not upgraded to latest version. What are the exact steps I need to execute in order to have the latest upgrade? I've clicked on the "upgrade" icon and it has taken me through the steps, but still tells me I'm not upgraded. Very frustrating.
Hey dogo1,
The latest version of Firefox is 9.0.1, so it looks like your updates have failed. You can look at the Knowledge Base article [[Updating Firefox]] for some troubleshooting steps. Alternatively, you might just want to try installing a fresh copy of the latest version of Firefox. I would look at the Knowledge Base article [[Backing up your information]] first. That way you'll have a backup of all your bookmarks and person information.
Then you should completely uninstall Firefox and then download a new copy from:

Hopefully this helps! -
Error with iTunes "The iPod Group Storage cannot be used with iTunes...."
I bought a usb hub to accomodate my multiple usb devices. I plugged my iPod into this and got the following error:
"The iPod Group Storage cannot be used with iTunes because it is not formatted properly."
I plugged the iPod into the computer rather than the hub. Same thing
Tried to restore, per the error message's direction. It says it has restored it to factory settings, then it brings up that message again.
I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. Same thing. It was playing fine but it needs re-charging now and it won't because of the error.
Does anyone have any ideas? I don't know what to do now.
Thanks.Try to reset your iPod using the recovery mode as described in this support article
However, this will erase the iPod completely. If you have an iTunes-backup on your computer you can restore your iPod settings later from the backup.
I have never tried this in WIndows, however. The procedure might be slightly differeent. -

Hi,
I'm using ipod shuffle 512mb. When I connect ipod to my PC, it shows an error message saying "the Ipod "file shares" can not be used with itunes because it is not formatted properly". I am not able to sync the songs into Ipod...
I tried everything but it is not working...
If somebody knows how to resolve this ..... kindly reply to this...
Thanks a lot!!!!!The iPod shuffle forum would be best to post this question. Here's a link to it.

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs. I don't want this to happen I want the I pod songs to sync with iTunes. What do I do?
That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:
iTunes: About iOS backups

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

<u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling <u>'''one at a time'''</u> until the problem reappears. <u>'''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change'''</u> via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window. -
my phone has gone into recovery mode on its own. says to connect to itunes. i have restored it 10 times and it does nothing please help me i am out of the country and desparate
Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.
