Can't get past "Find My iPod" set-up screen, please help :(

Hi, so I just bought an iPod Touch, to replace my old iPod Nano. I downloaded the latest iTunes, plugged in my iPod, clicked on the iPod's icon in the bar on the left, did the register thing... then it came up with a completely unformatted block of text which looks like this:
"Free Find My iPhone
Free Find My iPad
Free Find My iPod touch
Set up Find My iPhone for free so you can locate your device if you lose it, remotely lock the screen, or wipe its data. You can also find your iPad or iPod touch.Set up Find My iPad for free so you can locate your device if you lose it, remotely lock the screen, or wipe its data. You can also find your iPhone or iPod touch.Set up Find My iPod touch for free so you can locate your device if you lose it, remotely lock the screen, or wipe its data.

Not Now

Set up Find My iPad
Set up Find My iPod touch
Find My iPhone (or iPad or iPod touch) enables you to locate your iPad with Wi-Fi or iPod touch only when it is on and connected to a registered Wi-Fi network. Find My iPhone is not available in all countries."
This was in the iTunes window. There were hyperlinks (or whatever the in-application equivalent is) on "Learn More", "Not Now", and "Set up Find My iPhone
Set up Find My iPad
Set up Find My iPod touch"
When I click on any of the links, nothing happens I can't get past this screen to sync my iPod. Please help!
When I right-clicked on the "Not Now" link and then clicked "copy link", this is what it copies: javascript:gotoNextStep();
Don't know if that helps at all.
I go through a lot of firewalls that aren't under my control (I use a high school's internet to cut a long story short) if that is relevant.

Garygargar is spot on. Just unplugged my network cable and relaunched Itunes. Got past that FindMe screen, plugged the cable back in, wait 10 seconds, and on my way.
I love it when the first google search result is the actual fix for something!

Why are songs/albums deleted off of the iTunes store? How can I get them back on the iTunes store? PLEASE help. Thank you.

Perhaps the copyright holders chose to remove them. What album were you after?

Can't get past the are you over 15 screen

As a first time user I bought a season 2 pass game of thrones but can't get past screen asking if over 15 - screens keep revolving from episode 1 with highlighted play button to are you over 15. Frustrating to say the least, hate apple tv already. Any suggestions to fix please?

Hello Robin,
The first important thing to find out will be, if this is a hardware or a software issue.
I would first request you to run a test on the Hard drive. You can do this test from the BIOS.
Steps:
1: Shutdown the computer
2: Turn the computer back on and start tapping the F10 Key on the keyboard. This will allow you to enter the BIOS page
3: You will have diagnostics under which you can run a short and long test on the HDD. Run both the test and see if the test passes or fails.
4: If the test fails there is an issue with the Hard drive and the drive needs to be replaced. If the test passes then its an issue with the Software on the computer
If you have not deleated any partition on the computer or changed the operating system, you will have the HP Recovery option available
Steps:
1: Shutdown the computer
2: Restart the computer and keep tapping the F11 key. This will allow you to enter the HP Recovery manager page.
From here you can do a complete recovery of the computer
Note: Recovery will erase all the data on the computer.
If the recovery partition is not available, you can contact HP and request for a recovery disc
Regards

New macbook pro, can't get past country selection in set up.

What am I missing? I'm new to using Apple laptops. Just out of the box, I plugged it in and when I get to the "Welcome" screen it asks what country... I select US and hit enter/return and get a tone. The arrow buttons do not allow me to do anything either.

Same here... Anyone else having the same problem, use zimzo2's instructions: (use TAB key to cycle through the options then SPACE key to select and get past that screen)
The "return/enter" key and trackpad tapping didn't work for me either. Thanks for posting the solution here.
Update: Just realized that I was tapping and double tapping the MBP trackpad when you need to use the lower-corner of the pad to click. (I'm used to the separate trackpad that accepts tapping anwhere... whoops.)

Can't get past the initial "Slide to Setup" screen on iPhone 5c

My new Virgin Mobile iPhone 5c arrived a little while ago, and I've gotten as far as installing the SIM card and am now stuck. The multilingual "Hello/Slide to Setup" screen won't go away. I slide, and a voice says "Hello. Slide to setup" (or one of the non-English variants) and nothing happens. Am I oblivious to something? Please help.

Can't get java to initiate applet, or even run, please help

I need help, please. Need java to do some organic chem work, and I can't get it to work. I have Java 2 runtime SE - 1.4.1_05, virtual machine 1.4.1_05-b01, and plug-in the same as J2SE. The Web Start file was corrupted when it downloaded, so I removed it from the Add/Remove in control panel. I'm running windows 2000 Pro, I'm not a computer expert (means I need explicit instructions), I'm a vet student trying to do my homework, and study for exams. Any reply here will be very appreciated, or to my e mail [email protected] Thank you, Cindy

There are plenty of people here that can and will help, but you need to tell us what the problem is (details, error messages, code samples, etc)
Here's a general blurb, post back it it doesn't help.
This may duplicate some of what you've already done, if so fine. But please verify you've done exactly what is written or know why you shouldn't before proceeding. You may want to print these instructions before continuing.
Also note that this applies to the currrent java version installed on "standard" windows systems, only.
To download the current version of Java, go here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
and click on the word DOWNLOAD in the column labeled SDK in this line: Windows Offline installation (info)
After downloading, click on this page of installation instructions and read through #6:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/install-windows.html
Install the software according to the preceeding instructions. If you encounter
problems, see the section "Troubleshooting the Installation" in the installation instructions.
Below is a Helloworld program, copy and paste it into your editor and save it as "HelloWorld.java" Use capitalization, Java is case-sensitive. If you're using Notepad, quote the name when saving, otherwise Notepad adds ".txt" to the name. Go to DOS/command window and check that you've got the file where you want it and that it's named correctly.
-------save this program as HelloWorld.java--------
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main (String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
In the same directory as HelloWorld.java, enter "javac" - the program should print out a list of options, if not, set your PATH - see below.
In the same directory as HelloWorld.java, enter "javac HelloWorld.java" and the javac compiler will create HelloWorld.class. If it was successful it will not give any messages. Check that the file is created.
In the same directory as HelloWorld.java, enter "java -classpath . HelloWorld" with the spaces and the period. The program will run. If it doesn't, recheck that you followed the instructions.
Here is additional information:
The Windows path is a set of pointers that Windows uses to locate programs that you execute, like javac.exe and java.exe. This setting is explained here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/install-windows.html - 5. Update the PATH variable
(you should have already done this as part of the Java installation)
The CLASSPATH is another set of pointers that is used by Java to find the files that you create and want compiled and/or run. This setting is explained here:
Setting the Classpath:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/classpath.html

I can't get my email since upgrading to ios5. Please help.

I can't get email on my iPhone, iPad and iMac since upgrading to iOS 5. I can send emails, but can't receive incoming mail.

Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.
Thanks,
Evan

I was on windows 7 but changed to vista when i sync my iphone i lost all my photos music and apps can i get them back any how???please help me

i was on windows 7 and i had to format my computer i put windows vista on and when i downloaded itunes and sync my iphone i lost all my photos music and apps that was on my phone,my itunes account says i have got to accounts on two computers?? is there anyway i can get anything back? please help me. i have tried restore to back up but it is the same????

If they really meant that much to you, they would have been copied off to a computer at the earliest possible opportunity.
I personally find it amazing that people get so upset when pictures "accidentally" get deleted and then scream about how important they are. You wouldn't leave important paper work lying around to be lost/damaged/stolen, so why take a chance with important pictures on a device that can so easily be lost/damaged/stolen, or deleted by a child.

Can't get the arrangement I want in JPanel. Please Help!

Hi all,
I'm using a GridBagLayout to position several JLabels, JTextFields and JButtons...with the JLabels and it's respective JTextFields side by side and the JButtons at the bottom in a straight column.
Thing is, no matter how I change the GridBagConstraints, the whole thing will still spread out to cover all the space available which is not what I want...is there a way to go about this using GridBagLayout??
I've read about how you use the GridBagLayout in the Java doc but still unsure how the weightx and weighty works...suspect they might be the key to getting the result I want but so far no luck....
can anyone please help? Thanks a lot :D

hi yuhijen,

Can't get songs back on my I pod. PLEASE HELP

Right, I lost all the songs off my Ipod the other day! I have reset it to factory settings and have all the newest updates and when I plug the Ipod in it says it's updating but the songs dont go on it. When I go into music, it is blank. what the F**K is going on. Please help!!!!!

Profanity gets you nowhere here.
Connect your iPod to your computer. When it appears in iTunes go to edit-->preferences and click the iPod tab. Click the music tab under that. Click the bubble next to automatically update all songs and playlists and click OK.
If the iPod is set to automatically update and is showing that it is transferring all of your songs but they are not on your iPod, see this...

Can't Get My Servlets to Run in Tomcat. Please help...

Hi!
I've been banging my head against the same brick wall for a day and a half now and am getting pretty desperate...
I installed Tomcat 4.1.24 with no problem and successfully ran one or two of the example servlets. However, I can't get my own (working) servlets to run in either ROOT or any other folder that I create under webapps. If I move my servlets into webapps\WEB-INF\classes, though, they run fine!
Using 'x' represent the folder I've created, I have placed a servlet called FirstServlet in x\WEB-INF\classes. I have also placed the following web.xml file inside x\WEB-INF:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>FirstServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>FirstServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>FirstServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/FirstServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
[I have also tried omitting '/servlet' above and tried changing the name of the url-pattern.]
In addition to this, I have tried editing the server.xml file by adding the following context:
<Context path="/x" docBase="webapps/x" debug="0"
reloadable="true">
</Context>
Despite all of this, I still continue to get the error message 404: The requested resource is not available.
Can anybody please give me some idea of what I'm doing wrong or am failing to do??
Many thanks in anticipation.
Cheers.
Jan

Hi, Sharnee.
Thanks for taking the time to email me. However, I really don't need to test my servlets, since (a) they all work under the JSWDK Web server and (b) the one that I am attempting to test ('FirstServlet') works fine when I place it in webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes.
In answer to your previous email, the URL I have used in attempting to run my servlet (with the servlet in ...\webapps\x\WEB-INF\classes, of course) is:
http://localhost:8080/x/servlet/FirstServlet
In desperation, I have also tried each of the following (with similar lack of success):
http://localhost:8080/webapps/x/servlet/FirstServlet
http://localhost:8080/ROOT/servlet/FirstServlet (after copying the servlet into ...\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes)
http://localhost:8080/webapps/ROOT/servlet/FirstServlet
Any suggestions?? I'm really frustrated, since the basic process that is required seems so straightforward, but simply isn't working for me!
Thanks in anticipation.

Why is my ipad stuck in recovery mode after IOS update? I can't get it out even after I restore. Please help!

I did an IOS update and now my iPad is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it out. I have tried to restore through iTunes, but after restore it says it is still in recovery mode. Please help!

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

Can't get videos from my documents to Itunes! Please help!

I've tried doing file import and it doesn't show up in Itunes. I've also tried dragging the file from my documents to itunes but that doesn't work either. The ipod I'm using is an 80g ipod video, thought I'd include that. Not sure what else I can try if someone could please help me I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!!

What format are your videos on? They need to be Quick Time to go into iTunes to be played, and MPEG4 to be able to transfer to the iPod.
I don't import the files, I use File and Add File to Library - try that.

Video_TS folder error! can't get a quality burn for my DVD! please Help

I am currently working on a project in DVDSP 3. i have had problems with the computer freezing while trying to burn my DVD. If the computer didnt freeze while burning the Log (while going through the process) would bring up 2 error signs. One was: "The Video_TS folder will not be included in the final disc." And directly after that it would say: "the VOB_DATA.LAY file will not be included in the final disc. The burn was successful but when i viewed it the quality of the image was fuzzy and not up to par with previous burns.
I found out i had a bad hard-drive. So i replaced it. re-formatted my hard-drive and re-installed all my applications (i.e FCP, DVDSP). I re-compressed all my movies and re-created the entire DVD menu. But the problem still persists!
Please HELP!

When i am about to burn my project should i choose simply "burn" or "build/format" ?
Either one will create a folder on your harddrive with the TS Folders AND burn.
These warnings signify nothing. They're just to inform you that the certain files used by DVDSP to "contact" your initial build folder won't be included in your TS folders.
I can't figure out why Apple states these warnings - they do nothing but scare people

Can't get past "Find My iPod" set-up screen, please help :(
