Can't get past the "Registration" page when syncing up nano...Help!

I'm hoping someone can PLEASE help with my problem. I posted in a different forum a week or so ago, but unfortuantely didn't get an answer that worked:
My wife and I have had our iPod nanos (2nd gen) since Christmas 2006. We've been using iTunes since then with no problems.
The basic information:
My computer is a Gateway laptop running Windows XP. It was recently serviced (it needed a new power jack) I am using iTunes 7.0.2.16.
Recently, when syncing up mine or my wife's iPod Nanos (2nd generation)using the USB port, iTunes will reccognize our iPod nanos in the left-hand screen, and it will sync them up...however, on the main screen, it will not get past "Registration" no matter what I do. If I hit "cancel" or "register later" or "never register", nothing at all happens. It just stays on the same page. If I select "register", it will let me fill in all the information, and then gets stuck on that screen. It absolutely refuses to get past registration to the "preferences" screen.
Needless to say, we are unable to select any of our playlists, see how much space we have...do anything, basically. It is super frustrating~!
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be extremely grateful~!!
Thank you very much--

Hi melbernai - not sure if you've solved this problem yet. I had the exact same problem recently with my 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I solved it yesterday by simply updating iTunes to the most recent version, after which I could get rid of the register screen. The only other thing I needed to do to add my custom playlists was select "Manually manage music" on the screen for my iPod, since it had been in an automatic synching mode since the problem occurred.

Can't get past the Configure page

I got a new Airport Express (old one replaced by a Genius after MBP couldn't connect to it). I try to set up a new network but I'm failing. MBP recognizes AE but I can't get past the reconfigure screen. The page keeps loading but that's as far as I get. I can't get to the point of naming my network and choosing a password.
Since I had a different AE set up here, do I need to reset something to make the AE work again?
Thanks.

When the AirPort Express is new, it is broadcasting a default wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx, where the "x" can be either a number or letter.
Click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your screen and look for this network. Your computer needs to be on this network in order to communicate with the AirPort Express.
An alternate way to do this is temporarily connect a spare ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express. You can keep the ethernet cable connected during the configuration process and disconnect it when you have updated the Express with your new settings.

Welcome to the Discussions!
The first thing to do would be to boot from your original Disk 1 by:
1. Inserting the disc, pressing the power button, and immediately after the startup chime, press and hold the C key until you see the spinning gear icon appear on the grey splash screen.
2. After the machine has booted, pick your language, and when the Installer window appears, do not press Continue, but go to the Utilities menu in the menubar and open Disk Utility.
3. In Disk Utility, choose your normal startup volume in the pane on the left and then click Repair Disk. If any errors show in the window, run Repair Disk again until you see 'The volume appears to be OK' in green.
4. Quit Disk Utility, quit the installer and attempt to restart into your regular startup volume.
Please update your profile so we have a clearer picture of your particular machine.

How can I get past the activate page on ipod touch?

I am trying to fix a ipod touch for an lady I know. she purchased this ipod for her 9 year old daughter and she set it up with her dad apparently using his email account. The daughter forgot her passcode so she wanted me to restore it which I did. Now I'm stuck at the activation page. After trying everything online I could find I called apple spport and spent 2 hours on the phone with them. After all this I was able to finally get logged into the dads apple id account which shows the daighters name and his email account that was used. Problem is that the 9 year old apparently set up the find my iphone setting and/or changed the apple id at some point to her [email protected] so when I get to the activation page it wants the apple id that the 9 year old used and she has forgotten it. If I try her dads email and id it says it cant be used to activate the ipod. I try to reset her password but the birthdate isn't going through and I've tried her real bday, her bday that she used on her facebook account, and her parents bday as well as several years up and down from it but can't get through. Any ideas on what can be done?

Click here and try recovering the account information. If needed, phone Apple’s Account Security team.

How can I get past the iTunes page that offers a free download of iTunes 10+ ?

My iMac G5 doesn't have the Intel Processors and it operates on OS X 10.4. Both conditions make it impossible for me to upgrade to iTunes 10. Every time I attempt to log into the iTunes Store, I am given a page that offers me the opportunity to upgrade to iTunes 10+ and I'm not able to get beyond the page and in to the Store. My account is current and I'm not happy with this strategy to make my perfectly good iMac obsolete and force me to buy a new one in order to access the iTunes Store. I need a way to get beyond the page that offers the iTunes 10+ free download, so I can purchase the music I want. Please help me get around this Apple ploy.
Uncle Jim Serna

Many of us don't like it but innovative Apple staying ahead of the curve means those of us on the other side quickly get ignored. After all, who is it who is spending money on all that hardware and software; the people staying with the newest all the time, or those of us who haven't bought a computer or operating system in 5 years? It's a for-profit company so you can hardly blame them, though it doesn't endear me to the policy of not supporting anything older than 4 years or so.
More in response to your specific issues, with a G5 you can upgrade to OSX 10.5 (which doesn't require Intel except for iCloud and related) which will allow you to run newer iTunes. It's a bit of hassle and some cost.
Alternatively think about buying from some other online retailer such as Amazon and don't forget to write Apple saying what you're doing.
Edit:
A comment on Niel's suggestion, I don't think anything less than iTunes 10 gives you access to the iTunes store.

IMac won't get past the Apple page when turned on...

I just bought a new iMac about a month ago. It is the 21.5" basic system. Of course the first thing that I did with it was update the software and have set it to update automatically, so everything should be golden there... Today when I walked by and turned it on it came on like normal, but that was it. The white screen with the Apple in the middle came on and then the loading icon popped up underneath it. It has been loading since... After about an hour and a half, I shut it off by holding the power button in, unplugged the modem, unplugged the iMac then plugged only the iMac back up. Turned on the power again. It powered up but did the same thing. Is something loading, updates maybe? If so it is something different than any of the other updates it has uploaded so far. THis is a new one on me.
I might add that this is my first Mac. I went with it because I get tired of rebooting my PC each year (I actually just did my PC again...bummer). Now if the iMac has already crashed, I am severely dissapointed in Mac. I have not downloaded anything that I shouldn't have, or anything that was even suspicious. In fact the only real things I have downloaded are Firefox and some of the add ons and a trial version of PS.
Can anyone help me, tell me it is normal and it will be ok?

It sounds like the update may have bee interrupted somehow and became corrupted, possible a power spike at your house. However I wouldn't get too upset. You have 90 days of free telephone support so now is a good time to use it. The number is in your owners manual.
You can also try doing a SMC and PRAM resets, this is probably what Apple will have you do to begin with so you can be pro-active and try them and if they don't fix the problem you can just let the tech know. The instructions for doing each reset are:
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.
Also this is a good time to plug AppleCare. AppleCare will extend your warranty and phone support to 3 years from the date of purchase. If you don't already have it I'd recommend it, Apple charges $169 however you can pick it up from Amazon for less. You can only get it while the machine is covered by it's one year warranty. Let it go 366 days and you're out of luck.

Cannot get past iPhone registration page when new iPhone 4 is plugged in for Contacts, Music, etc. sync

I just bought an iPhone 4 today and on my first attempt to sync my contacts, music, apps, etc.. it took me to the "Welcome to your new iPhone: Let's get started/ Regestration" page like usual. I selected "register later" and then I am taken to a blank white page the says "iPhone" in the middle in the itunes window. I tried:
ejecting, then plugging in again
selecting register now, and never register
Restarting both computer and phone
Turning off iTunes Helper in Activity Monitor
Turning off iCloud
I am running iTunes 10 nad my iPhone is still on 4.3.3
A couple of days ago I downloaded iOS 5 for my iPhone 3G and the sync prosses was working fine. Now I can't sync up my new iPhone 4, but the phone is still functional. Help!

If you have any podcasts in your iTunes library you should see a Podcasts sync setting tab to the right when you connect your phone and click on its name on the left sidebar (see image below). On this tab check to sync podcasts and sync your phone.

Can't get past the library icon when trying to attach photos

When I try to attach photos in an e-mail application (other than the mac mail program) I click "attach" then select "pictures", then the library icon appears but there is no list of the photos contained in the library. I have tried "control-click. to open this but it doesn't work. I've been using Macs since my first Classic in the late 80's but I can't figure this one. ANy help? Thanks.

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you're using a cocoa browser like Safari, then you can drag the pic from the iPhoto Window to the attach window. Or you can create a quick media browser using Automator.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

HELP! Can't get past the blue screen when booting up...

Hi,
Please can anyone help. I've searched the web and found possible causes of the fault but not a solution....
I upgraded my hardrive, used SuperDuper! to clone my drive, make it bootable etc then transferred the new drive to my Macbook Pro.
Now, every time a boot it up with my account set to auto login, it freezes on the blue screen. It doesn't go any further.
I've entered in Safemode, added a second 'Admin' account and set the login preferences to show the login window. Which allows me to log in as the second account holder. This works in normal mode, and then once logged in, i can switch accounts to my normal account.
This is the only way i can use my account.
I've looked at the fonts and used 'Font Doctor' to fix them. I can't seem to be able to fix my preferences (com.apple.programename.com), Onyx doesn't seem to fix it and i've no way of finding out if a preference file is causing this myself.
I've also done an OSX reinstall then software update. No good!
I've tried so many things as advised by various people online but it's clear to me that it's a) Account issue, b)Startup issue once logged in.
Please can anyone advise? I'm assuming that it's only related to my account, and that it's to do with the startup of the account...
I have OS X 10.6.8 on a macbook pro unibodied (1st gen, Aug 2008).

Activate ROOT user

Restarted
Logged in as main user... worked fine. Not sure what i did but it worked.
I had tried all other methods but non worked...

Can't get past the Apple Logo when starting my MBP

Hi,
I recently tried to install a new programm on my macbookpro with mac os x. The installation was successful, but the computer restarted afterwards, and hasn't been able to turn back on since. I always hear the startup sound and see the apple logo with the little circle that rotates, but then nothing else happens. I have tried to use the "c" button to set it up again, but it doesnt work.
Does anybody have any ideas how I could fix it?
thanks a lot
raphael

Raphael, what kind of installation, an Archive and Install, an Erase and Install or was it the usual Upgrade (without Options)?
Try starting in the Single users mode (S key down) or a Safe Boot (Shift key down) and see if either works.

How can I get past the phone passcode when trying to use an old phone

I have an IPhone 4 that was previously mine. I loaned it to a friend who broke the screen and returned it to me.. I repaired the screens but there is a passcode on the phone that the friend does not remember. Is there a way to unlock the phone?

See the instructions here: Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

Can't get past "waiting for activation" when setting up iMessaging, Help??

I am currently living in Kenya and using my AT&T iPhone 4 to communicate with my family back home in the States over iMessage and FaceTime (through WiFi exclusively). All of the sudden, I turned on my phone and iMessaging had ceased to function as had FaceTime. Upon trying to turn them on and off, I have been stuck with the 'waiting for activation' message and it doesn't go away!
I am tried resetting the date and time, resetting the network, logging in and out of Apple ID, going in and out of airplane mode, resetting my phone, resetting network settings.
Going to the Apple Store really isn't a viable option, nor is calling them.
If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem please let me know!!
Thank you very much!

I tried what you suggested @fromsouth and still no luck! I am going to have to go back to online chatting with Apple I think.
If you already tried to sign out of imessage, change your imessage password, Turn it on and sign in with email address only and leave it activating overnight. Then I need to wish you good luck chatting with Apple.

I verified my email, then went to sign in and I can not get past the Sign In.

I need some help. I made an account and verified my email. I then went to sign-in and a box pops up saying I need to review my account. I go back to review it and it takes me to the support page. In other words... I can not get past the Sign In.

Thanks, Andrew for your help. Not sure if you will see this, but I did the above and it said the HD was okay. Rebooted it and still won't go past login page. Tried it again and this time typed in the line /sbin/fsck -fy and then it came up and said HD was okay, but said something about being modified. I once more rebooted, but it still won't get past the login screen. Besides taking long to reboot, as before, I am able to enter my password, but then it hangs up with the rainbow icon rotating continuously. Does this mean that the disk is corrupt or partially so, and if so, can you advise how I should proceed? TIA again.
