Downloaded Itunes8 and now it won't even acknowledge my ipod

Hi,
I downloaded Itunes8 and now it won't even acknowledge my ipod. The computer just makes a bum bum noise (kinda like Law and Order) and my ipod shows up nowhere. How do I handle this?

Try Resetting your iPod while it's connected to the computer. Hold down the MENU and SELECT (centre) buttons for five or ten seconds until you see the Apple logo appear: How to reset an iPod

  • Just downloaded Lion and now iMovie won't respond when I try to open it. Even tried deleting the program (since it was an older version) and bought it new from the app store, but still won't respond.

    Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

  • I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. Where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. My pc didn't create a backup before updating software so I can't revert back to ios 4.3.5 from there, where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I tried just about everything and finally brought my Ipod touch to the apple store.  The tech installed ios 4.3.5 but still no WIFI.  He recommended a $149 exchange - not really a bad deal with a new battery and 90 day warranty, but I thought I'd try again.
    The "solution" was bizarre.  On YouTube was a fix involving taking the motherboard out and heating the wifi components with a heat gun.
    I did not like that idea, but another involved turning it off, putting it in the freezer for five minutes and restarting.  It worked!  I must admit the fix does not work reliably, so I may still go for the exchange.  Still, I am now convinced that it is a hardware problem.    i remember back in the old days, TV repairmen sprayed a suspected bad resistor with Freon.  The chilled component would work long enough to identify what needed replacement.  Perhaps something similar is happening here.
    For anyone wanting to try this, I found it more convenient to place the back of my ipod on a  frozen cold pack until the wifi is restored.  It seems to happen when condensation forms on the face.  I used a towel to wipe off the moisture so as not to add to the problem.

    What iOS is on the iPod? The app requires 3.0 and later. Was the app purchased with the same iTunes account as the other apps on your iPod?

  • I want to download trail of Photoshop to see if it will do what I am needing... It made me download Creative Cloud and now it won't even open...... What do I need to do to get this free trial of Photoshop?

    When I downloaded Creative Cloud it made me set up an account, download, verify my email. Now when I go and double click or right click and run, or right click and run as an administrator, Creative Cloud does nothing.................. I just want to download a trial of Photoshop to see if it will let me edit my images the way I need them done... If it works I plan on purchasing it because I will need to edit pictures repeatedly. It is quite frustrating when I try and download Photoshop and it makes me download this other thing to make it more "seemless" but then it doesn't even work. Now when I go to try and download Photoshop it just redirects to the Creative Cloud website and pops up saying it has to open something outside of Google Chrome. If I hit cancel, it does nothing (obviously), if it hit launch, it still does nothing...................... What am I doing wrong here???

    Please provide your operating system details along with the version of PS you are trying to download.
    If possible, paste a screenshot of the error that you get on Creative Cloud desktop app. FAQ: How do I capture and post a screen shot or video?

  • Updated my firefox to 3.6.4 and now it won't even open?

    I just updated my firefox to firefox new version which i think is 3.6.4 on friday and now when i open that as an application, it won't just open...
    Strange enough - no error message, no pop up... It just jumps couple of times in the dock and then doesnt' open...
    Please help? is there a way to just use the older version?
    I am new to mac family

    I just upgraded to 3.6.6, which is working fine for me. From your hard drive, in applications, you might want to drag the Firefox icon to your trash, then empty the trash. Of course quit the application first if it happens to be working for some reason. Then download Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.6.6&os=osx&lang= en-US , install it, and see if it now works. Sometimes things get a bit screwy on download/updates, so a fresh install can often fix the issue.
    If that doesn't work, you can do the same steps above, and download the prior release 3.6.4 from http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.6.4&os=osx&lang= en-US

  • I trashed my mimetypes.rdf file to reset download actions, and now Firefox won't open because profile missing, please advise

    Up until recently, when I would download a pdf file, it would automatically open, and recently, for some reason, it stopped opening automatically and just downloaded to my desktop where I wanted it. I found instructions on Mozilla if files downloaded but not displayed, that included displaying my profile folder and then deleting it. I trashed it (different from deleting?) and now if I try to open Firefox, I get the message that Firefox can't open/load because profile is missing. Please advise how I can get the profile folder back in.
    thanks

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Downloaded update and now it won't open

    Yesterday I downlaoded the new iTunes update and now it will not open. I am running Norton and Microsoft Anti-spyware and took some hints from other messages and non of those have worked.
    Anyone with ideas to fix this please send them to me and thank you to those who help!!

    top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
    - turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
    - installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    - setting up Norton to allow iTunes
    - scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)

  • I downloaded Mavericks, and now ITunes won't open

    Although the iTunes icon is showing on the dock and in Launchpad and Finder, it won't open.

    To confirm, you've downloaded and installed Mavericks, and not just downloaded Mavericks, right? 
    If you have installed Mavericks, have you tried updating to load the current iTunes 12 software, to see if that might resolve this?
    I'd probably also try using Disk Utility.app (Applications > Utilities) to repair the disk permissions, and also to check the volume for errors, though it's not at all clear that would help here.
    If all that fails, see if Console.app (Applications > Utilities) shows any messages relevant to iTunes, if you launch that and then try the (failing) iTunes launch.

  • I upgraded my Firefox today(feb 29) at lunch and now firefox won't even launch!!?? help please!

    I have a huawei ideos s7 and installed Firefox in December. Upgraded Firefox in January(I think) and it worked fine!
    Today I upgraded it again and now Firefox launches but immediately closes down.

    Hi,
    I'm sorry you are having this problem with Firefox mobile. Are you running any other applications when you launch Firefox? Also, are you launching it from the All Applications, or from a link in your email or twitter?
    You might try launching from All Apps if you haven't already done so. If all else fails, you could try to uninstall and then reinstall, but you will lose your addons and sync setup if you do that. Let me know a bit more info and I'll try to help or find someone else who can.
    Thanks,
    Michelle

  • I added a new iPod and now iTunes won't recognize my old iPod

    My old iPod's battery is just about dead. It is about three years old; I will send it to Apple for a new battery.
    In the meantime, I bought a new 5th generation iPod, 60 GB. It's great! Eventually the old iPod will be my work iPid and the new one wil be the home and recreation iPod.
    Here's the problem. I researched using two iPods from the same copy of iTunes. In response to my questions in this forum, someone referred me to the article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432, "How to use multiple iPods with one computer", which I read, and which supported the idea that you can work with two iPods from one copy of iTunes.
    My goal, then, was to follow Method Two as described in the article, and use two iPods from my one computer, without setting up separate user accounts for each one.
    So -- I plopped in the CD that came with the new iPod, installed the latest iTunes. It had me register the new iPod by serial number.
    In my copy of iTunes, my old iPod was called "Mae Sot's iPod". I set up the new iPod as "Mae Sot's New iPod".
    I thought that from now on, when I plugged in my old iPod, iTunes would be able to recognize it, and when I plugged in the new one, iTunes would recognize it.
    Wrong.
    My copy of iTunes does great now in working with the new Ipod. But it totally rejects the old one.
    When I plus in the old iPod to synch/recharge, I first get the Windows message in the lower right part of the screen with the headline, "USB device is not recognized", telling me that "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it..."
    The first time this happened, that message eventually went away, iTunes launched, and I got an error message saying there was no folder for the device.
    Now when I plug in the old iPod, I just get the "USB device is not recognized..." message, and iTunes does not launch.
    Any idea what is the problem?
    My goal is to get iTunes to add my old iPod as a recognized device, so that I can clean the music off it and send it to Apple for a new battery.
    iPod   Windows XP   Windows
    iPod     Windows
    iPod     Windows

    iDevices are not backup devices.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
