Can't Update my itouch into higher software version unless using another computer. What is wrong with my itunes?

I have itouch 2nd Gen, 8GB with software version 3.1.3 and itunes 10.3.1 (the latest). I know that the farthest software for 2nd gen itouch is 4.2.1, right? BUT everytime i try to check for updates on i tunes, it would always state that it is the latest version. Before, it used to be 1.3.1 (or so. Can't remember) and it insisted that was the latest version until I connected it to a friends computer and voluntarily updated itself to 3.1.3. I'm torn now because I want to know what the **** is wrong with my itunes. I've restored multiple times, still, it won't upgrade. I EVEN HAD MY WHOLE LAPTOP FORMATTED, and still, failed. Please help me out!:(

Are you really sure that you have a 2G iPod?  From what is happening it appears that you have a 1G iPod that canonly go to 3.1.3,  Check here:

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • I can't turn my laptop on after I put it to sleep. What's wrong with it?

    Hi. What's wrong with my laptop? I put it to sleep then won't turn on anymore.

    First, you can force the Mac to shutdown by pasting in this command in Terminal (in Applications>Utilities). Only paste it in. Don't try to type it.
    sudo shutdown -h now
    Hit return. You will be asked for your admin password. Nothing will appear on the screen when you type it in. This is normal. You will also get a warning about using sudo, which you can ignore. This is safe. After you enter your pword, hit return again.
    Then, boot up again into Verbose Mode by holding down the v key at the startup chime. This will bring you to a screen that shows the boot sequence in text as its loading. It will go by kind of fast, but we're not interested in the bootup process. Next, do a normal shutdown and you may be brought to the same kind of text screen, which will show the shutdown sequence. (I know this works this way in Snow Leopard after booting in Verbose mode; not sure about Tiger, though.) If it hangs, it may show in what part of the shutdown process it's hanging. Have a camera or note paper ready to write down where it's getting stuck.
    One other thing to try is an SMC Reset. Unplug from wall power, leave for ten minutes, then hold in the power button for five seconds. Reconnect to power and startup again.

  • What's wrong with the iTunes app updates?

    The last days the app update is behaving very strange. One moment there are no updates, then suddenly there are 8 but iTunes cannot find them. And at this moment, there are 41 updates being downloaded while 5 minutes ago there were none. What's going one?

    Prior to upgrading to Mavericks, you must make sure you meet ALL of its system requirements. 

  • Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    That is priceless!!!  Thanks!  I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement.  Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
     My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close:  0xc18a0201.  Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100.  I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
    Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years!   I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day!  To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink.  And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!!   Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
    Anyway I really loved your essay!   It's a classic!  And says it all!  I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

  • I just updated my ipad 1 to software version 4.3.3 I am not able to use any apps on my ipad. what do i do?

    I just update my ipad 1 to software version 4.3.3. I am not able to use any apps on my ipad now.  What do i do ??

    You could close all your apps on the taskbar and then try a reset.
    To close apps completely, from your homescreen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar; press and hold one of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds so that they start to shake; press the '-' symbol in the top left corner to close each app; touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to close the taskbar.
    To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try restoring from your backup.

    Go here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=750 and download iOS 4.2.1 for the iPhone 3G. Perform a restore, but hold down ALT when clicking restore. Restore from this file you just downloaded. You should not get 1015 as you are upgrading, but if you get a different error, report back.

    .local indicates local activity by the computer host Williams-macbook-pro.local=hostname@domain . The UID of 501 is the standard UID of a local computer administrator.
    Copy and paste this little script in your terminal:
    if [ "SSH_CONNECTION ]; then
         echo I am remote
    else
         echo I am local
    fi
    A return of "i am local" ensures there is no remote connection to your machine (through SSH).
    In the future, to avoid remote entry, I would recommend not posting your IP address though.
