Cant get my classic to read...

I have a 30 gb ipod classic and i got it from a friend. The only cord i have is the one from my nano video and it worked fine with the nano. With the classic it wont read anything on itunes and it wont charge. the battery symbol has the lightning bolt in it and it flashes green and grey and doesnt charge. Do different versions use different cords?

Ok, i just looked there and its a 5 generation ipod. And it is charging through the usb, but the computer isnt picking up the ipod at all. Heres some things ive done already. I restarted my computer, restarted the ipod, reset the settings, got the most current itunes, went through the steps apple suggested in the administrative tools section to check that my usb drivers were up to date. tried a new cord, tried plugging it in on a new computer. i noticed when i looked up the ipod on the usb drivers that it wasnt in there under any of the names that apple said it might, it just wasnt there at all. like i said, it is charging but it isnt being read or even picked up by my computer.

I bought a used 160GB ipod and I cant get my computer to read it. What do I need to do?

I bought a used 160GB ipod and I cant get my computer to read it. What do I need to do?

Is your iTunes running the latest version? If not, but the iPod you've bought has been set up to work with the latest version, then iTunes probably will not recognise it.
In iTunes, select Help/Check for updates. If there is a newer version, make sure you are running that before connecting the iPod again.
If that isn't the problem - or more to the point - it doesn't fix the problem, post here again so that anyone watching it can suggest the next step.

Cant Get My Program to Read a Text File

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class Calculator
    public static void main (String[] args)
        final String filepath = "calculator.txt";
        int a, b, x;
        String command;
        Scanner fileScan = new Scanner(new File(filepath));
        while (fileScan.hasNext())
            command = fileScan.nextLine();
            System.out.println(command);
}Thats the code I have so far. I have an input file called "calculator.txt" which I made in notepad then copy/pasted into the same folder that this Calculator.java file is located. The build fails and sends this error:
unreported exception java.io.FileNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
What am I doing wrong that it cant read the file?

"Exceptions" are written about and described in any Java book and they all contain plenty of example.
Your code shows no attempt whatsoever to handle an Exception. So the original answer assumed you didnt' know what an Exception was and gave you a resource to read.
It you would spend the time reading your text or the tutorial given instead of wasting time with these ridiculous comments you would have had your answer by now.
We don't have time to write a personal explanation about what an Exception is. We would only be duplicating what is in the book and tutorial.
On the other hand if your code acutally contained some code that resembled an attempt to catch an Exception, then you might have been given more specific help. If you don't understand that concept then you will have trouble getting answers in the forum.
Did you even search the forum to see if any other posting had a question about that Exception?

Nebie to mac cant get cd drive to read disk

hi i am new to macs got this used imac original i got it home and it booted up fine but when i put any disk in cd drive it runs for 2 seconds then a message pops up "this disk cant be read by this computer do u want to initionlize it ?

Bryon

Bryon,
This would be a behaviour to expect if one inserts a blank CD, since the original iMac is not capable of (internally) burning discs.
Otherwise, provided that the operating system is complete and contains the necessary helper files, the iMac should be able to see/read many CDs (at least the ones formatted Mac, hybrid or ISO9660). You may encounter difficulties with some home-burned discs (it is usually better to use CD-R than CD-RW).
However, if you are trying to boot the iMac from a CD, that is another matter. A proper Mac system disc is needed. If you buy a new system CD, make sure that it is a generic/universal disc, not one intended for a certain (other) Mac model. Also, when starting from a CD, press the C key.

Sharing and permissions, custom access, cant get user to have read and write acess

Hello everyone, i have a Netgear Stora NAS on my MAC, its located in the finder under shared, when i click on it i sign in with my user account and it gives me my folders to my stora, on one of my folder (Movies), i clicked get info and under sharing and permissions it told me i had custom access, i changed the privelages of the name,"Everyone" from no access, to read and write, when i did this, the name on tope of this (the main username) vanished. so ive been searhing on how to get my privelages back, i went to + and added new GROUP "admins" and it gave me my main username back but now with read only acess, when i try to change it to read and write it dissapears, PLEASE HELPPPPP, thank you!!!!
<Edited by Host>

I am not sure why you get that error. One thing you can do is a SMC reset then try to format it again. However that being said I'm not fan of WD external HD's primarily because we see a lot of troubles with them on Macs. Their internal HD's are fine so that narrows it down to their enclosures. If the problem persists I'd return the drive and buy one of the following:
OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro series
Lacie Quadra d2 series
G-Tech G series
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.

Cant get caller id to read out on BT, but reads text fine

I just got a LG 260 bluetooth and it reads the text out fine. I have turned on the driving mode and have it set up to read phone calls but all it does is ring in my ear. I tried to go into phone, settings, then additional settings but I do not have the caller id stuff on that screen, only noise reduction. Anyone know how to fix this so it reads out the name of the person calling?

Cant get open nat type for PS3, it use to be but wont go back

im on Fios with the verizon router. I had the DMZ set to an ip with the PS3 also on it. the nat type was open and all was ok. I dont know how long its been this way (guessing not long because I have sucked at COD this week!) but I noticed im not at moderate. I checked the DMZ and the ip was still there. looked at PS3 and it was empty for some reason, so I put the ip back. ive restarted and tried other IPs andit will not go back to open. ive looked at youtube tutorials to be sure that im not missing anything but the vids seem tobe older because I have more options on the router settings than what the vids show, guess I have newer firmware. Any suggestions?

actually, Open is what you want. you have a lot better preformance online when dealing with fast paced games like COD. you will really notice a difference. generally you just designate an IP in the DMZ settings of the router, then tell the PS3 to only use that IP, and thats it. just seems now on my end thats no longer the case and cant get it to go

i read on the internet that this is a harddrive fault?
please dont say it is!
also there seems to be loads of this same fault hapening to the exact same model!?
please help
Chaz

That's super odd. It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

HT1386 I keep getting a message while downloading purchased music into Ipod that reads " U can download past purchases on this device with just 1 apple ID every 90 days. can b used with another apple ID in 42 days" what does that mean? cant get music on

I have purchased an album and its on my computer in library, plays there and on Ipod as downloaded but cant get it in to music. also havent been able to get my music that I download into hard drive to sync either, afraid to restore [reset] because with have to re-download all of my cd s again. HELP

It means exactly what it says. For redownloading via iCloud (which is what you are doing).
Computers and devices can be associated with a different Apple ID once every 90 days. Days remaining indicates the number of days before you can associate that specific computer or device with a different Apple ID.

Cant get com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only entitlement to work

Hey I am curious how can I get the .ipa compiled file for iOS to be able to read all the directories on the iPhone?
I made a file browser but I cant get to the pictures
I tried adding the entitlements in Flash Builder 4.6 in the descriptor file like this:
<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.pictures.read-only</key>
<true/>
in the
<iPhone>
<Entitlements>

I got Push notifications working and accepted in the app store but it can't read the pictures directory when browsing for a file
I know the app id and stuff is set up right or I wouldnt have been able to get it accepted in the app store. In the entitlements area of course I have the application identifier set and aps-environment and keychain access groups and whatnot set up right.
When I try to put the app onto the iPhone with iTunes it just says 'Entitlements are not valid' (does not mention anything about mismatched ids) I can't find anything about how to add this entitlement and I could have sworn I saw a thing that said I can just use the descriptor file to add entitlements in some of the documentation I have it set to use air 3.4
Is there something I am doing wrong, how do I get apple to just put these entitlements in the mobileprovision file, I cant seem to edit it, if I do I also get an error in itunes that is some hex code...

How can I put ebboks onto 2 different ereaders from he one computer....we have 2 adobe accounts, but I cant get books to go onto 2nd reader???

Hi I have 2 ereaders, a sony and a kobo... how can I put books onto both readers . I opened a seperate adobe account for the 2nd reader, but cant get books to work on it... HELP !!!!

Ok first off, Graffiti LOVE your icon. And you do make complete sense and as for try, I kinda figured that was the case. One folder with all the files ARE in word, yet these are in PDF in another folder. Why they were not all done in Word at the time I have NO clue. I'm going to assume it was the IT guy's idea.
I'm sitting here stressing b/c I can't find a way to do this and now I find out it's not a good idea to have ANYTHING in PDF as well as NOT being able to transfer to word with in reason and to make it look as it did.
So what it boils down to is I will ultimately have to do it individual and convert on my own. Pretty much make a new format in Word and transfer all the information one at a time, GREAT. My 2nd week here at work and this is what I have to look forward to FOREVER lol
I will, however, make me a format I can handle and easy to do, idiot proof as it were.
I appreciate all of your information. In the back of my mind, I knew the answer, but wanted to clarify before going to my supervisor (who has NO clue about computers or the fact some things can't be done. more of why CAN'T I do it, you know) and see what I can do from there.
The man purpose is to have continous access to that file instead of multiples b/c of the IT limiting PDF to 2 pages. YAY for me
Let's hope they hire an IT guy next week...lmao

I cant get adobe reader or what can I have that is free I paid for Adobe and its gone

I went to start menu on computer and clicked on adobe and it said it is not installed and I cant get it back please help

You go to https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid if you don't remember the ID.
If you know the ID but not the password, you go to https://iforgot.apple.com and reset it.
If you can't do either of those, you call Apple and speak to someone in account security.

My 5 year old iPod classic will not play on my Yamaha CRX-332 cd receiver but my 3 year old iPhone 3g will. Any suggestions to get my iPod to read the receiver or get the receiver to read the iPod?

My 5 year old iPod classic will not play on my Yamaha CRX-332 cd receiver but my 3 year old iPhone 3g will. Any suggestions to get my iPod to read the receiver or get the receiver to read the iPod? The receiver should be able to play the iPod with a USB connection or with the iPod dock. Neither works with my iPod however both work with my iPhone 3g. The iPod has the latest software. Any thoughts?

If it is a 5-year old iPod, there is the possibility that the receiver simply won't work with the older software (there hasn't been an iPod Classic software update in years). You might try contacting Yamaha support (or doing a google search) to see if it is a known issue. One solution (probably the easiest) is to get a cable that connects a min jack (i.e., a headphone jack) to stereo cables, and just connect the iPod up that way. You eliminate the risk of corrupting the iPod, and it is a solution that should always work. Just use a wall charger to power the iPod.

I cant get my iphone back up password back at all nor do i know it what do i do now? i have been reading what to do but nothing is working and i want my pictures and contacts :(

i cant get my iphone back up password back at all nor do i know it what do i do now? i have been reading what to do but nothing is working and i want my pictures and contacts

If the device has been used as designed, contacts would be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service and pictures taken with the device would be regularly copied off to a computer.
Failure to use the device as designed is not smart.
