Doesn't play songs, "itunes is not configured for use with mac-formatted"??

Hi, new ipod shuffle. Seems to charge fine, all indicator lights function as expected. Everything looks fine in itunes. But it doesn't play songs. I have the most recent versions of itunes and the ipod software. Re-set, updated, and restored, nothing works. Even restored using the restore utility. Re-started computer. Checked for volume control. Won't play songs. Tried different file types. Songs play fine from itunes library and from the device's library within itunes. Tried different headphones. Hooked it up to computer speakers. Turning volume all the way up on device and speakers, heard some very faint rhythmic static, so my guess is the jack socket (or whatever you call it) is just messed up, but it seems weird that it can transfer power and data to the device but doesn't work for sound...
The only other issues that have come up is that the drive disappears in explorer once it syncs with itunes. Other people who've noticed this seem to have completely different problems so I don't think it's related.
Also, I have MacDrive on my computer. And when it starts up with the ipod plugged in, MacDrive offers the message "Itunes is not configured for use with Mac-formatted ipods." It offers to automatically reconfigure itunes so it can read mac-formatted ipods. Since I've restored the device, I don't see why formatting should be an issue so I say "no."
Should I try letting macdrive do its format thing? Should I try formatting the ipod disk on the My Computer menu? Or should I just email apple and tell them the jack's busted?
Thanks for any thoughts!

Well, I have had my iPod for about 3 years, it is a 4th generation non-video 40 GB. One day it just stopped working, and now it does not play any songs. when I turn it on it makes this odd whirring sounds that computers make when they try really hard to do something. I cannot charge it, and it is not recognized by iTunes. Also when I turn it on, I get the apple.com/ipod/support (or whatever it is) screen. Needless to say, my warranty is expired, and so I cannot do anything for it except get a new battery, or buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this problem, or anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing?
I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's iPod. However it will play about 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next song.
If there is anyone out there that can help please do!

    This accessory is not optimal for use with this iphone keeps popping up on my phone how do i stop it?

    Can be caused by lint, dirt, or foreign material in the dock connector port and it doesn't take much.
    Can also be caused by damage to the pins in the dock connector port including moisture damage.

  • V-41 tcode error :Table 304 is not defined for use with condition type PR00

    Hi All,
    I am trying to create a BDC using the transaction V-41. 
    The first screen has fields:
    ConditionType and Table, where I have to fill values ZPM1 and 800 respectively.
    But as soon as I enter the tcode v-41 and say enter, the above mentioned fields are already having the  values 'PR00' and ' 304'. Normally if you take an example fo t-code VA02, all fields are blank.
    Then an error message  is displayed:
    Table 304 is not defined for use with condition type PR00
    This behaviour is not allowing me to use the BDC feature.
    Please advise me on why this is happening. What are the possible solutions I can use to clear these values programmatically?
    Can anything be done via customizing?
    Regards,
    Namita.

    Dear ILHAN ,
    Well the problem you are facing is having the following solution:
    Table 304 is not defined for use with condition type PR00
    Message no. VK024
    Diagnosis
    The selected condition type does not fit in the condition table, that is the basis for the condition record. Alternatively the selected condition type is not included in the condition types that were selected on the selection screen or that are defined in the variant of the standard selection report.
    Procedure
    Úse F4 help to choose a valid condition type.
    If this does not give you the required condition type, check in Customizing for condition types and the related access sequences.
    In the condition maintenance also check Customizing for the selection report (pricing report), that you have selected in the navigation tree, using the standard condition table as a reference.
    I hope this helps.
    It has worked for me.
    I gave it a try and what I am getting using the transaction V-41 is create Price condition (PR00) : Fast Entry.
    Please award points if you find it useful.
    Regards,
    Rakesh

    Is that because you also ask the same question to Logitech and that was their response, since you're using a 3rd party software

  • Creative Zen Micro Photo not tested for use with Windows so cant install it! Please help

    Heya! Basically when installing the software for Microphoto it stops saying that as my device hasn't been tested for use with windows it cant install for fear of corrupting my laptop! Can anyone help me overcome this because i installed it aagges ago and it let me have the option of continuing the installating, but i had 2 uninstall it and upon reinstalling it it does not give me the option to continue. It just cancels the installation. Can someone please help me as this is driving me nuts!! Y is it that technology is continuosly mucking up grrrrr!
    Lucy

    Are you runnning Win XP SP2? If so, this is a standard warning about unsigned drivers, but it should still give you the option to "continue anyway" to complete the installation.
    Also, make sure you have Windows Media Player 0, as this is needed for Windows XP (drivers) to recognize your MicroPhoto.

  • Can FieldPoint be configured for use with 4 wire temperature sensors?

    I would like to build a fieldpoint-based measurement system that is configured to accept 4 wire type low temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and several 4 wire (100ma) magnetic hall sensors.  Each 4 wire temperature and magnetic hall sensor will require a stable current source (20ma -100ma range).   We need to be able to synchronously read up to 8 sensors.  Under certain circumstances we would like update rates up to 50 Hz (0.02 seconds) on all 8 channels.  We currently have FieldPoint products, such as FP-1001 modules (RS-485 Network Interface), FP AI-110 modules (8 channel, 16 bit analog input), FP-RTD-122 modules (8 channel RTD input), FP-RLY-420 modules (SPST Relay), FP-TB-1 (36 screw terminal, Universal Terminal Base), NI-SCC-68 (68 pin Terminal Block with 4SCC expansion slots), PCI-8431 (RS-485 Serial 2 Channel Card), and other FP modules on hand that we would like to use in this experiment design if possible.  I would like more information on the NI FP-RTD-124, (4 wire, 8 ch., 16 bit RTD input module) regarding use with platinum RTDs and low level/low temperature signals, and maximum refresh rates.  Thanks for your help,
    LGF    

    Hi LGF.  FP-RTD-124 info is here: (c)FP-RTD-124 manual.
    The range of the -124 on the low end is -200C; we use it to -196C with 100 ohm Platinum sensors with good results.
    The update rate, ~ 1S, however, is not going to meet your requirements. Can your temperatures really change that rapidly?
    The excitation is fixed at 2mA x 135 mS with a period of 1S.  Fine for an RTD, don't know about your Hall sensors.
    Your AI-110 module can be configured to read the Hall sensors with external excitation but the maximum update rate is 0.173S.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to find the type of webserver being configured for use with ColdFusion

    Hello,
    Where can I check to see the type of server that ColdFusion is configured to run currently? I have an existing installation of CF 9.0.1, which I will be removing and installing CF 9.0.2. During instalation of 9.0.2, I would need to specify the server to be used - ColdFusion server / Apache/ IIS etc. My question is, where should I see in the existing CF 9.0.1 to understand the server that is currently being used.
    Thanks!

    You could use the Web Server Configuration Tool. Assuming you are on Windows, the path to launch it is usually
    Start => Programs => Adobe => ColdFusion 9 => Web Server Configuratiol Tool
    In fact, you could use this tool to add or remove web servers.

  • Error message not authorized for use with Adobe ID

    I just started getting this error message when I transfer EPub books to my KOBO. They are e-books from the public library. I am asked to sign in with the authorized Adobe ID, but I thought I had done that when I set up Adobe DE 3.0

    I tried many things, but what worked in the end was a suggestion from a thread last year. I opened my KOBO and signed off. Then signed back in. That seems to have done the trick. I can now download library books to ADE then transfer to the KOBO and actually open them. HURRAH!! I mainly use my KOBO to read library books and was panicing about losing access.
    Before that fix I reauthorized my computer and my KOBO.

  • Flash Player will not install for use with Firefox

    I cannot install Flash into Firefox, To see Flash content, I must use Google Chrome...no problem there. Way back when, I had no problems with Firefox.
    Though I am an administrator, I get the "insufficient permissions" message just before the installation is complete. I tried everything suggested in Adobe's help area in that regard.
    What I have tried: A new administrator account. Making sure I was running the .exe program and Firefox as an administrator. Delete and reinstall Firefox. Use the uninstall from Adobe for Flash, and then try the reinstall. Disabling all security while doing all of this. Installing in Safe Mode. I spend a few hours on this every month or so.
    A new install in Chrome happens. I even downloaded Commodo Dragon, and have the same trouble there...I feel like Chrome is wandering around inside there to keep me from using Firefox!!! I have been using Firefox for years, and still strongly prefer it, but I am about to give up.

    Could you check the progress of the install.
    (1) Physical file location
    The DLL is deposited in this folder:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    Can you find NPSWF32_11_9_900_170.dll there?
    (2) Registry entry
    If the file exists, the next link in the chain is the registry entry Adobe leaves for Firefox to find.
    If you are comfortable using RegEdit, that should be here:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/FlashPlayer

  • 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

  • ITunes purchased song plays in iTunes but not on iPod

    I have purchased several songs from the music store. One of the songs will play in iTunes but not on my iPod. I've removed the song several times from the iPod and resynced with iTunes, but the song still cuts out in the middle of the song. What should I do?

    If it's just a problem with that song, I would contact the customer service who may authorize another download.

  • Ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."

    ipod cutting off songs. itunes plays songs just fine. not using "match."
    reformatted ipod, resynced, same problem.
    help!

    I have also had the same problem...
    The songs appear to be random, and when I plug my iPod into the computer it is fixed. Sure enough, a monthish later, it happens again.
    When my songs get cut off, they are stopped exactly half-way through. Apparently, the iPod thinks that is how long they are, because it plays the time that it shows (the total time only goes to helf of what it normally is).
    This does not seem to be a matter of old software, as I am always up-to-date on iPod software, and this has been happening to me with version 1.4.1
    I have not Restored my iPod, but apparently that will not help (according to the other posts).
    I hope somebody can answer this (although I've posted it twice before with no luck, so...)

    iTunes cannot find your music files. Find them on your computer and make sure they're in ~/Music/iTunes. If they are not, then drag all the files into the iTunes app.
