Corrupt and Won't disconnect, among other things.

I've had problems with the iPod not charging correctly, and also the "hold" switch doesn't do anything. Slightly annoying but not the end of the world.
I plugged it into iTunes today (I've done this lots of times since the troubles started and it has been fine) and it told me that the iPod is corrupt and it wanted to reset or reinstall the software. It started to do it, but part way through it encountered an error. I tried to eject the iPod to start again, but I still have the "do not disconnect" screen on the iPod, although my computer doesn't recognise having anything connected.
Do I have yet another dead iPod to add to my collection, or is there some way to restore her to health?

Did you ever get your ipod to work?
I am having the same issues with my Ipod. It's a 30G and does not show up on a MAC or PC. GrrR.
Please let me know what worked or didn't.
Thank you!

Applications won't open, among other things

My MacBook is falling apart...first the wireless stops working (similarly to others), then the backlight goes out, and now my applications have gone haywire...
First, I tried to install the iTunes 9.0.2 update and the install failed and corrupted my iTunes so that it no longer works (I have this posted on another thread). I have tried to redownload and install multiple times and it tells me there is an error in the install. The I tried to install it again from the software update, along with a system update and both had errors installing. I tried doing them separately and they still wouldn't work. This was last Thursday. I was put of town and didn't use my MacBook until today, but when I turned it on, I discovered that half my applications won't open -- mail, safari, iChat, adium, picasa, to name a few. The software update won't open from the pull down menu, but I can get to it from the system preferences.
Also, now it tells me there are no updates, when the two that failed should still show up.
There actually seems to be something wrong with the installer in general too, as now anything I try to install gives me an error...
Any ideas???

try updating your OS for a start. Many fixes have been done since 10.4.11

She goes to sleep and never wakes up - among other things

I just installed SL and I seem to be having a myriad of problems:
1) when she goes into sleep mode, i can't wake her up unless I restart the machine. All I get is the spinning beach ball.
2) she is definitively NOT faster
3) I don't see anything new or different anywhere on my system. I was really excited about the new podcast feature but I can't find it anywhere on my system
4) I ran disk utility to do repair permissions, and that didn't fix anything. In fact, a few repairs couldn't be made.
I'm thinking that i should just just uninstall it - but i have no idea how to do that. Should I try to fix it or just I just do the uninstall and wait until the software updates come out?
Thanks for any input!

What new features are you mentioning, specifically?
The bulk of advancements w/SL are under the hood it would seem.

What is the best way to transfer apps, contacts, et cetera from one iPhone (3G) and computer (2006 MacBook) to a new iPhone (4S) and computer (early 2011 MacBook Pro)? I have already moved music, among other things using Migration Assistant.

transfer just SOME of the applications
it's all or none, i'm afraid.

I tried down loading mozilla firefox to use as a web browser. It was downloaded 100% then when prompted to "run" the error message comes up with a red cross and the message'This file is corrupted" and won't let me proceed. What do I do now?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Is a music bed muzak for a movie? (among other things)

rohan,
Thank you for the leads. I shall follow them.
My inquiry into beds started when I heard your Chapel bit. It was so different from the Apple looped things I had found when doing the Google.
Would this rule work: "Do what you want, but no melody"?
The Chapel link is in the following paragraph, from your post:
"i find sculpture very difficult to use. its a bit like logic with in logic - the possiblities are incredible. i don't use it for sound medelling though. it gives you an opportunity to create very organic and sophisticated beds.
because you can automate it and its method of sound production allows for very sophisticated, detailed and emorphous sound, you can, with a lot of work, produce some remarkable effects and beds. blended in with other things it can really bring to life a cue.
here is an example i particularly like, although it doesn't take sculpture as far as i have done since i wrote this, but they're not up on my site yet. it starts with an unsettling and eerie sound that was perfect for the cue...

IPod classic corrupted and won't restore on Windows

So I have an 80Gb iPod classic. While I was transferring some files something went wrong with the USB connection and iTunes immediately froze and so did my iPod. So I reconnected my iPod and now it won't let me transfer any files because it keeps getting stuck. Then I tried to restore and got an error that I was unable to restore. I disconnected my iPod and it seems like it restored because the next thing I knew everything has been wiped out. But when I connected it to my PC a message appears that the iPod is corrupted and a windows prompt appears telling me to format the disk. So here's what I've done.
-formatted the iPod in FAT32
-connected the iPod, no 'iPod corrupted' message appears.
-tried to restore, but received the same error message, won't restore
-when iPod disconnected it went through the same cycle (iPod restoring-then iPod corrupted-iPod needs to be formatted)
-went to Apple service center, they restored it using a mac and everything went smoothly, song were able to be transferred without a glitch.
-however will not work on PC needs to be restored again
can someone help to shed some light? is there something wrong with the hard disk? If yes, then why can it be restored through mac but not windows?
what can i do to solve this problem?
thanx

I was sort of relieved to read that I am not the only one with freezing issues.
I have been to the apple store twice only to be told there is nothing wrong and of course my warranty has expired !! I have the Model A1136 EMC No. 2065 80gig classic ipod. My dell computer is only 2 weeks old and works fantastic, however, when I open itunes and my ipod and it freezes, so does my pc and I have to do a task manager to get out of itunes and there are times when I can't and have to reboot my pc.
Well it has been two weeks now of me trying all that I can to fix the issue and only thing I can see so far that it freezes up when its in the analyzing the gapless sound upon adding music from my folders, etc etc. So I tried to "uncheck" everything that had to do with the sound and it worked. Oh and by the way, try setting your ipod on disk mode when you are trying to restore the ipod. It works better that way. Don't know what is going on but I am so angry with myself for being so attached to this ipod There is nothing out there that compares to my ipod and it's amazing the prices of mp3 that even come close to 80 gigs.
Good luck to all and if I find anything else to share, I certainly will Don't hesitate to email me if someone finds out or has a patch or something to get this thing going properly again bye for now ,,,,,,,,

Can Time Capsule be used for both Time Machine back-up and a place to store other things?

I thought I had heard that it was best to keep whatever external drive you use for Time Machine to be exclusive for Time Machine back-ups. Does Time Capsule automatically partition an area for Time Machine. Also, since Time Machine auto deletes some things when the external drive gets full, does it just keep backing up until it fills the Time Capsules 2 TB or whatever the space is? Thanks in advance for help.

It does not partition the drive but creates a sparse bundle which acts as a sealed directory.
You can store other things on the TC. Just create a new directory for your stuff.
The TC needs to have at least 2 or 3 times the space used by your hard disks in all your computers. So it can manage a full backup plus the hourly incrementals.. !! It can take a long time to fill up if you don't change stuff around much.. or it could fill up relatively quickly if you constantly load files in and out.
Remember though a TC is not a NAS, it has no mirror and if the TC is the only copy of some files you are storing on it, and the TC breaks down, then those files are lost.
I have seen others suggest it is better to use a USB hdd connected to the TC to store files you want access to. Balance between storage and backup won't be that difficult. If the TC is becoming full, make a decision about where you want to store those other files.

Hi there,
You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes in order to get it working again. Take a look at the article below for more information.

App updates are corrupt and won't download?

I can download music and movies just fine on my PC. When I try to download updates for my apps (about 14 updates pending), I get an error message telling me that "the file is corrupt and to go to "check for available purchases" again to download the update for each app needing an update. I get the same "corrupt" message when I try to download it again and again? How can I get these apps to update? What's going on?

Are you downloading them all? Try downloading just one.

Itunes will not accept my securty code and won't take any other card I submit

itunes will not accept my security code so I can not update or purchase even free aps and won't take another card- so what do you do?

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

How do you change your name of your phone? I am having the horrible problem that my phoone doesn't work with my Bluetooth and it was recommended that aI change the name, among others things (that still don't work!)

How do you change the name of your phone? I am having that horrible problem of my phone suddenly not working (no audio) with my Bluetooth (apparently due to the most recent update) and nothing has worked thus far to try to restore it....some one recommended I change the name of my phone and then try to sync it with my car...

Thank you...this was a suggestion from a blog regarding the Bluetooth problem that has resulted from the most recent upgrade---lost the audio capabilities suddenly in my car as have other people and there is nothing that Apple has had me do that has restored it! I am not a very happy camper regarding this dilemma! thank you for your help though!
