  • Restore Mackintosh formatted ipod using windows vista

    Upon attempting to restore ipod using latest Itunes, I am informed that "Itunes could not contactthe Ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet" - there is no difficulty with my internet connection.
    Has anyone else had the same problem ?

    "Itunes could not contact the Ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet"
    Yes, that's a known issue. If you've got XP, see the following document:
    [iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPod or iPhone software update server|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814]
    ... if you've got Vista, see:

  • Using a Mac formatted ipod with windows itunes

    Any ideas how I can update my mac formatted ipod on windows based itunes without losing all of my music? Every time I connect onto my pc I just kept being told I need to restore factory settings, yet when I connect to my mac it's fine.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive: How to determine your iPod's disk format
    Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and format the iPod on a PC then connect it back to the Mac and reload your songs. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac but Apple currently only fully supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac, in other words all future software updates for the iPod would have to be carried out in Windows to maintain the formatting. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews. It's a commercial program so you'll have to purchase a license to use it:: XPlay 2

  • Updating an iPOD using Windows format

    I just tried to update both my step-daughter's & wife's iPODs and it tells me that they can't be updated because they both use windows format. They were first used on other computers, which are both Microsoft, so I'm assuming this is the reason its a windows format.
    There is an option to reset the iPOD to its original setting, would this make them an apple or MAC format? If so, would all the info be lost. I'm asking this because I we want the updated software for the iPODs.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    If you want to reformat the iPods for Mac you need to restore them on your Mac. Restoring will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive, reload the software with the Mac version and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

  • Search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help

    Hi,
    I’m trying to create a generic search help for Web Dynpro using the SAP-search help. It should working so, that I construct a Web Dynpro-component, that gets the data of the search help from the SAP-system, interpreted it and creates the ui-elements and the needed context generic.
    The mapping between the Input field of the customerview and the right search help is to be made with an xml-file, which contains the information: name of the view, the input field, the search-help-name and the name of the field that will be returned.
    The xml-file is reading from a helper-class. That helper-class contains any information, witch need the search help-component as well as the customer-component.
    The initialization takes place in the method wdDoModify of the customer. The call of the search help from the customer should be implement with an Action, witch is bound to a Button(create dynamic in the helper-class behind the input field).
    In a second foot should be create a plugin for eclipse, witch insert the used files (search help component, helper class, …) in the project. In addition it should create the call in the customer generic.
    It would be great if someone can give me a feedback!

    Hi Mike,
    The BlanketAgreement.exe is a reference to the executable that will be created when you compile the solution you created in Part II - Part III. I think there is a mistake in the tutorial because it asks you to name the project 'Blanket' which means that by default the executable will be called Blanket.exe and not BlanketAgreement.exe. The tutorial also misses the step asking you to compile the Blanket project before you go on to create an installer. You should compile your Blanket project in Release mode before creating an installer. By compiling the project you'll get a Blanket.exe file in the bin folder of your Blanket project which you then need to add to the installer per the instructions.
    SAP do offer development courses in some areas and there is training material here on the SDN and on the SAP partner portal (and maybe the customer portal as well). Try searching this forum for 'training' or 'tutorial' and you should get a few links. There's also a development certification.
    Personally I'd recommend you give yourself a little project to work on and just get stuck in
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • Is there a dock for the iPod nano 6G?

    Is there a dock for the iPod nano 6G? I haven't found one and the Apple Universal Dock doesn't work with iPod nano 6G unfortunately.
    It would be okay too, if there is a loudspeaker system with a docking option for iPod nano 6G.
    Unfortunately all docking options i've found, are only for the iPod touch or at best for the iPod nano 5G (like the Apple Universal Dock).
    Would be great, if someone can help me : )

    I am new in apple products. I got a Nano touch (6th g) 2 days ago and yesterday i got the Universal Dock.
    This one
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC746LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ
    Silly me i thought that a company like Apple would by no chance realease it without Dock support.
    So this is how it is.
    It works for me but!
    1. The MENU button does not work
    2. I dont know what else it should do besides the following...
    2.1. It skips songs back fwd
    2.2. It advances fwd or rewinds
    2.3. The screen of the nano touch goes to show album art instead of the song playing
    2.4. No way to go back to menu
    2.5. Volume up and down works
    So, if you know what else it is supposed to do, thats what it doesnt. Know my Nano is not broken (yet) by overcharging or something. The plug fits and most of the functions work. So i wouldn't say it doesnt work but it partially works...
    The bonnes of SJ now must be shaking...

  • Can you purchase iMatch for an iPod classic?

    Can you purchase iMatch for and iPod Classic? It doesn't make that clear when reading the advertisement for the service.
    Thanks for your help!

    The iTunes Match service is attached to your iTunes library, not the device itself. Hopefully the tracks on your device are also all in your library, and the backup of it, however iTunes Match might still be an additional backup and remote access service if it suits your needs. It has more use to owners of iOS devices who can download any of their matched tracks from iCloud to their device on demand.

    I already contact Microsoft 2 times for activations.Hope I can fix from Apple instead.

    Ok....Got "Problem 2 and 4" solved....still trying to figure out this pop up everytime I click something...it's crazy how fast the pop up blinks...maybe once or 3 blinks then nothing till you close the window, then pop up then disappears...then click something
    else and pop up then gone....never seen this before...ive seen it when you tried to get online which turned out to be a virus on a customers cpu I worked on some years ago, I think it has something to do with the deleted files that I spoke of on last
    post...I notice it does it on start up as well.....think something is trying to install but not sure. Need to figure out where the appdata or start up folder and see whats in there....maybe it's in there.......so I might wait to see how it acts in the next
    couple days for "Problem 1"...but other than that it's running like a champ...so right now I just want to get the pop up windows to stop........thx again for everyone's help on this.

    is there any help for a cracked iphone after dropping it?

    If you have the new AppleCare+ service, then yes:
    http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
    Otherwise, maybe. Regular AppleCare, if you have it, can't help you. But you might still be able to get it repaired – of course, any repair will cost you. Apple will replace a damaged iPhone for a flat fee.

  • Is there anyway to locate an ipod using an iphone?

    is there anyway to locate an ipod using an iphone?

    - The iPod has to be connected to a wifi spot to use the FindMyiPod. Either a unsecured spot if the iPOd is set to automatically connect to one or to a secured wifi spot it is set to autmatically connect.
    - Also, it is easy to defeat the find function, Restoring the iPod or simply turning it off will defeat it. It is not realy worth much.
    - Change the passwards for all accounts used on the iPod and report it to the police.
