Can't update ipod...need help asap!

Help!!! My computer was sent to get fixed and because some stuff was reformatted, I am unable to use certain programs....most importantly, I am unable to update my ipod which I need to do in the next day. Unfortunately, I will not be home where the software is for about three weeks. When I attempt to plug in my ipod to update the songs, the hardware isn't recognized. Is there anything I can do to get it working?
If desperate I may be able to use someone else's software but will that work or do I need to use the one that came with my particular ipod?
pc   Windows XP  

unfortunately this didn't solve my problem. from the little i know, i think the problem is that my entire hard drive was transferred while fixing my computer, and because they were temporarily relocated, that somehow tampered with all of my files, causing many to need to be reinstalled. my problem is that i do not have any of the software needed.
t> this might help

  • Itunes wont open/ file icon on ipod- NEED HELP ASAP!

    My itunes will not open at all on my comp. I downloaded the newest version, then nothing would open. I removed all versions and attempted to re-install again. Now, my ipod will not turn on. There is a file icon with an exclamation point. I dont know waht to do and I am leaving for a long trip in a few days and need my ipod! any help asap would be greatly appreciated!

    OK-
    First, let's get your iTunes open.
    Click on Start, Click on Run
    Type msconfig
    Click on the startup tab (last one on the right)
    Click on "disable all"
    Click apply, then click close
    Go ahead and restart your computer when prompted to do so
    When your computer starts back up, you should be able to open up your iTunes. When it opens, close it again. Now that we know it is able to open, it needs to be closed in order to resolve the file folder with exclamation point error.
    Now, let's get that file folder issue resolved.
    Click start, click all programs, click iPod, click iPod updater, click iPod updater (again)
    Click OK when you see the dialogue that tells you what the application's capabilities are
    Connect your iPod when it tells you to
    Click on the "restore" button when it becomes available
    IF the restore button does not become available, and if the iPod updater fails to recognize the iPod, disconnect it. Reset the iPod by (making sure the hold switch is off) pressing the menu button and the select button at the same time for about 10 seconds, until you get the Apple logo. As soon as you get the Apple logo, hold down the select button and the play/pause button together until you get a check mark on the screen. You may have to try this several times to get it to work... and sometimes it helps to lay the iPod down on a hard flat surface, like a table or your computer desk.
    Once you get the iPod into disk mode, you can go ahead and try to restore it again. (Start > All Programs > iPod > iPod Updater > iPod Udpater) Click OK, Connect your iPod when it asks you to do so, and then click the restore button when it becomes available.
    If you're still having issues, try reading through some of the following articles:

  • Can't update iPod, please help!!!

    Normally when you click on "file" in iTunes, one option is "update iPod" but it is pale (can't select it). I can't update it so please reply if you can help!!
    Also, yesterday it wouldn't let me disconnect/eject the iPod, and also every now and again a message saying something about a "corrupt file" comes up.
    If you can help me with any of these things. PARTICULARLY the updating one then please reply ASAP!!
    thanks!

    Try this link put. It has some good basic information on how to update your ipod. Try to manually update your ipod, the instructions for it are in there. When you are talking about the smart list i think you are refering to the smart playlist. What you can do is set a playlist that has different options that will automatically update the playlist. Say for instance everything that you rate as five stars you can make a playlist that will take all of the songs that have five stars and put it on that playlist without you having to do anything.
    Now about the issue of the do not disconnect. I had the same issue with mine when I had first got my ipod. If you look in itunes at the very top in the little dropdown menus there will be one called preferences. Now with your ipod connected click on the ipod tab. There should be an option in there that will let you listen to music etc while it is charging on the computer. The default setting for when it is hooked up to a computer is to not play music or anything until it is unplugged.
    I hope that will take care of your questions, if not let me know and i'll see what i can find for you and if it did work if you don't mind let me know.

  • My ipod says i have no music on it, but when i plug it into itunes, and look under music on my ipod, its all there. NEED HELP ASAP!!!!! all the music came from a computer which i no longer have, so my ipod is the only place where that music is.

    This morning, i downloaded about 16 songs to put on my ipod, and i manually dragged them over to my ipod to sync that way (like i always do because the music on my ipod came from a different computer which I no longer have) and on my way to work, i realized my ipod says "no content" under Music. However, when I plug my ipod into itunes and click on the music tab under my ipod name, all of my music is there. What happened and how do i get that music back on my ipod? I need help asap.

    You had a glitch and the music files got corrupted. I know of no way to uncorrupt them.
    You can try using a computer app like iFunbox
    http://dl.i-funbox.com/
    to see if yo can get them from the iPod in a usable file.
    Otherwise you will have to re import them to your computer and sync
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    it seems like apple's activation servers have gone down under the weight of the overwhelming amount of activation requests. you will be able to activate your phone once the servers are able to catch up with the activation requests.

  • Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

    We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
    We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
    When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
    Here is more technical info:
    Stuttering flv playback issue:
    Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
    Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
    Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
    Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
    We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
    We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
    We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
    Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
    Have also posted in the Director Forum.
    Any help much appreciated!

    Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
    Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better.  If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
    You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
    Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS).  If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
    Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
    Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
    Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
    Try compressing the flv with different software.  FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

  • Objects outside of workspace show in SWF... Need help ASAP!

    When I export a flash movie (.swf file)And play it on full screen, the objects that are outside of the workspace show. Can anyone tell me how to fish this problem? need help ASAP! Thanks :]

    If what follows isn't sufficient for you to figure out, you'll have to spend some time learning how to work with Flash.  While you'll often get help solving problems in these forums, it's less likely you will get tutoring services.  Google is a very good resource for tutorials.
    To create a mask you draw a shape to the size you want and place it on a layer above all the content you want to mask.  A mask is actually not well named because masks normally hide things, while in the graphics world, masks define the are where things are shown... so when you apply a mask to something, only what is under the mask shows.  To finalize, you right click on the label area of the mask's layer and select Mask from the menu that appears.  You may have to drag lower layers up towards the mask layer to get them included, whicxh is why I mentioned creating the rest of the content as a movieclip (a single layer object).
    To control the visibility of objects you set their visibility to true or false (AS2: mcName._visible = true (or false),  AS3:mcName.visible = true (or false)).
    To create a frame around the stage, add a new layer atop everything and draw a rectangle big enough to hide all the content you don't want showing that is off the stage.  Then draw a rectangle that is the same size as the stage on top of that first rectangle, placing it over the stage, and then deselect anything that is selected.  Then reselect the smaller rectangle you just drew and delete it.  The larger rectangle is now framing your stage.

  • Error when extracting data with extractor 2lis_04_matnr - NEED HELP ASAP !!

    Hi experts!
    Got an error when extracting data with extractor 2lis_04_matnr.
    System says (short dump):
    DUMP TEXT START----
    Runtime error:    CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_TYPE
    Exception:   CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR
    Error when attempting to import object "MC04P_0MAT_TAB".
    The current ABAP program "SAPLMCEX" had to be terminated because one of the statements could not be executed. This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program. When attempting to import data, it was discovered that the data type of the stored data was not the same as that specified in the program.
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was neither caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure  "MCEX_BW_LO_API" "(FUNCTION)".                                                                             
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception      
    to occur, the running program was terminated.                                
    The reason for the exception is:  When importing the object "MC04P_0MAT_TAB", the component no. 5 in the dataset has a different type from the corresponding component of the target object in the program "SAPLMCEX". <b>The data type is "D" in the dataset, but "C" in the program.</b>
    DUMP TEXT END----
    Please, can someone explain me how to solve it? 
    Really need help ASAP!
    Thanks in advance,

    Hello...well, that's a bit disconcerting...aiding and abetting what could be an unethical use of service...but I'm hopeful that there are further details that mitigate that suspicion. In any event, review this KB for perhaps helpful information:

    It is possible that they have a tower out, and you now are receiving service from a more distant tower, which does not have adequate signal strength to work through the walls of your house. But, sadly, there is no way for you to actually find out if such is the case or not.
