ERROR 1639 when trying to uninstall iPod update software

" - invalid command line argument. Consult the windows installer SDK for detailed command line help."
What on earth? After installing all the required software to use my new iPod Nano, it still would not work. Tried everything including uninstalling the software to try again..wouldn't let me uninstall it!?
I previously had a iPod Shuffle that worked perfectly, but was stolen, hence replacing it with the Nano. I wondered if this software was unsuitable for this model. Either way Im clueless as what to do next, any suggestions welcome! I feel like dropping something hard and pointy onto it from a great height!

I think something of that sort happened to me but then I solved it... the mater was that I had USB ports on the front and on the back of the computer (where you turn it on) and I was connecting the iPod on the front and a pop up of that sort appeared... I tried connectiong it on the back and it worked just fine...
I really hope this helps..

  • Anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    anyone else getting a timed out error message when trying to check for updates via the app store software on a desktop?

    Hi, couple of things to try...
    Anonymous
    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

  • Error 1321 when trying to uninstall GoLive v8

    I am trying to uninstall Go Live CS2 v8.0 from my computer because a lot of the features are not working. This program was received from 1and1.com as a "program package" when our nonprofit foundation purchased the domain and Web hosting from them and received the programs for the shipping/handling charges. I have been unable to get any response from tech support at 1and1.com. Can anyone help me out with this? As the Webmaster for the foundation, I am needing to get this issue resolved quickly and any help will be greatly appreciated.
    This is the error message that I am getting when trying to uninstall the program: Error 1321=Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:\programdata\Adobe\updater\certs\golive.cer.
    We did register the program and I would have like to of used it for the foundations Website, but I am only able to "build" the site on the program. I am really disappointed in both the program and 1and1.com over this issue.
    Thank you,
    Michelle Holt

    Thank you for this information. I am more of an applications user than tech. My knowledge of what is on the other side of the applications is very limited. I followed the directions and got the Admin. account activated, but was unsuccessful at uninstalling the program. I finally received an email from tech support at 1and1.com, but it was just an initial email stating that they have received my statement and will be in contact within the next 12-24 hours with a possible resolution. 1and1.com is great for hosting a Website, don't get me wrong there, but the software that they include with their packages are junk. I will continue to use 1and1.com for my Webhosting, but would recommend to anyone else not to get the "program package".
    Thank you again for your help. If you think of anything else, let me know. This program is taking up space on my computer that I could use for a program that actually works right.

  • Keep getting error message when trying to eject iPOD nano

    When trying to eject iPOD, getting error message ..."cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application". No other application is open but iTUNES. What does this mean? and are there any tricks to get it to eject?

    Usually this is caused when antivirus "Grabs" the drive to scan it in the background, and/or windows itself "Grabs" the drive for indexing and things. It also happens if you play a song off the ipod thru iTUnes, then stop it.
    Usually rebooting will force it to let go
