Shuffle 1'st generation, 2nd owner
I have the reset utility (which was successful- supposedly) but I still can not put music on the the shuffle. Then I restored but an error message came up - can not be restored (1418) Is the shuffle only aloud to be on one computer?? What do I need to do to fix it... help!

WINAMP 5.32 is the answer. I had the same
problem as you. Yesterday I got a message about the
latetest version of Winamp and it mentioned support
for iPods. I tried it and it works GREAT!! It's MUCH
FASTER than iTunes as well.
Good luck with that... WinAmp 5.32 has been out for a while and it has its share of problems. A quick search of THEIR support forums for "shuffle" got these results:

when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem.

I used migration to send photos form my Mac Book to my I Mac now i get an error message "iPhoto can not be opened because of a problem" Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Max OSX. You may need to install any available updates or reinstall IPhoto.
I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program, any suggestions?

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

Windows error message "Setup could not read the CD you inserted..."

I partitioned my Macbook HD using bootcamp assistant and allowed 32GB for the partition. Then I tried installing windows using the assistant. I only get as far as verifying the windows CD (not far as which file system to use FAT32 or NTFS). Then I receive the error message, "Setup could not read the CD you inserted, or the CD is not a vaild windows CD." I am using the Windows XP Service Pack 2 version - not an upgrade. Also I tried booting up straight to the CD but that did not help either. Any suggestions?

Please disregard my question. Although my Windows XP Pro documentation and folder did not say upgrade I just looked at the CD for the tenth time and just saw Upgrade printed on the CD. I'm not making excuses but the holographic images make the CD a little hard to read. Sorry for the trouble. I guess I will be going out and buying the full version now.

Updated to IOS 8 yesterday and ever since have been getting an error message stating "can not download item, try again later".

After updating to IOS 8 have been getting an error message stating "Can not down load item, please try again later". I have chosen both options to answer (done or retry) but still get the message. I have backed my phone up on iTunes but and still getting the message.

Because all these **** updates Apple can't configurite correctly
one update counteracts another update.
im so ****** with all this ****.
now they want to charge you 20.00 dollars to talk on the phone with them.
this kind of business will bite them in the *** soon.there are other things out there you can change to.
and the people on the phone don't know **** about face book.
probably get blocked for a couple of hours for telling the truth.

Whenever i try to backup my Iphone 4 i get an error message " Itunes can not backup (my Iphone) because the backup was corrupted or not compatible with the Iphone"

whenever i try to back up my iphone it gives me an error message "itunes could not back up (my)iphone because backup was corrupted or not compatible with your iphone" i already deleted the itunes backups through the prefrences tab. this has not helped. what am i doing wrong?

I have the same question and the only reply I've found on the forum was "change the USB hub", which HASN'T worked. So I am accepting new suggestions. Tks!

Ipod Touch message "itunes can neither read nor write to "my Name" disk.

While syncing my Touch on I- Tunes, everything stopped and the message was "can neither read or write to B-----J-----"s ipod disk. I was on the phone for hours with Apple support, sent the Touch back twice to no avail. Finally found a newly acquired song from I-tunes stopped the sync in its' tracks and could not be recovered from. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have a second gen which I received today as a replacement from Apple as they thought that might solve my problem. I found a recently acquired song, David Gilmore's "Where We Start " caused the crash. I did a manual load of the touch after a restore of it"s software and tunes. I watched the computer screen as I updated several songs at a time. I recreated the problem three times so I am confident I know what caused it but the only way I know around it is the slow process of a manual update. I have reported it to Itunes because this has taken me two weeks to figure out.

Why am I getting an error message,"windows can not find(my Yahoo mail launch address)"when accessing Yahoo mail site?

Using WindowsXP, and e-mail via Yahoo,browser is Firefox 4.0.I get the following error message when accessing yahoo mail site:"http://us.f831.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?action=welcome&yy=1782408664&.rand=0qrsdp1o...Windows can not find(the above address is inserted here).make sure you typed the name correctly,and try again". After this message is displayed on my desktop it begins to fade,and the inbox of my yahoo mail is then displayed..I am able to work all functions of the mail without problems.( I might add at this point that i access the mail program via a desktop icon).When I close out of the program the error message box with the error described above is displayed again on my desktop.I must click on the "X" to remove it.I can access my yahoo mail via Internet Explorer with no problem,as well as accessing via my yahoo home page.

Here's an image of the ERROR Message. I'm not sure how this forum works -- if this image is an attachment or if it shows up in the body of this reply.

Preview error message doc "can not be saved because it does not exist"

I have had a long standing problem with Preview. I know it is odd but around closing time every day, two of my computers both running 10.6.8 get error message when trying to save a new document. The document will be open on my screen and when I go to save it I get the error message that the file can not be saved because it does not exist. Some background that may be relevent:
The documents that I create all day long (for at least 6 years) are output from a 4D database. I generate a report from the db and it opens in Preview as a PDF file. All day long I have no issues with creating and saving these docs. Then around 4-4:30 when many people are getting ready to leave two of our computers (one iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core i3 and an older macMini) have this problem. All you have to do to fix it is quit Preview and regen the doc. Unfortunately we often lose a lot of work because of it. I've tried anticipating when it will happen and restart Preview before creating the new doc but that only works occasionally.
I suspect that it has something to do with people logging out (I am usually the last to leave) and perhaps some shared application is effected. Everyone does have their own copy of Preview and we all use separate 4D clients. I have searched the internet many times. I have found some similar problems that people have had with this error but not related to my own. Unfortunately both Preview and "the file can not be saved because it does not exist" are very general terms that bring up all kinds of unrelated things.
I was going to try to delete the Preview Prefs file and start again but I can not find a plist for preview or any other file that is clearly the prefs. Searched the internet for that too but did not find it.
Does anyone have any ideas on this odd problem?
Thanks for reading!

To answer your questions:
Are you loading them by using Preview>File>Open, double clicking, or dragging the file? None of the above. I am loading them through 4D. I generate a report on 4D and it opens in Preview.
When this happens can you Open another PDF from the same location? Yes, see details below.
Are you loading these PDFs from the Server or another Mac? From the server. The file is created by a 4D client that resides on my disk but the 4D server which it references is on another computer. I am still shared to that computer and my connection to 4D has not changed as far as I can tell.
I found today (details written in response to another question) that when this happens I can save the file to my own desktop but not to the server. It makes me think there may actually be something happening with my connection. I wonder does a server do any realigning (for lack of a better word) of connections as some connections are lost? While I had the document open (the one that I could not save to the server) I went to the server and opened a document that existed there. I saved the file back to the server with a different name. No problem, it worked just fine. Now I am really confused....
1) A PDF file generated by 4D that has not ever been saved to the server can not be saved to the server via Preview around the time that other people are disconnecting from the server and shutting down their computers for the day. Quitting Preview and regenning the document fixes the problem.
2) The same PDF file that can not be saved to the server can be saved to my own disk.
3) Other files that are already existing on the server can be saved with a different name to the server at the same time as a new document can not.
I wish I felt like I was getting closer to the answer...
Thanks for thinking about it.

When finalizing iMovie with less than a minute an error message said can not publish because project is already open!

My question is I get error message when finalizing imove projects saying "can not plublish your project with an open project"
Where do I find this open project?
Thanks
John

It seems like there's a number of these being posted all around the iMovie Discussion Group. So the solution posted most recently that seems to work for the largest number of people is this:
This requires using the Terminal app, in your Applications/Utilities folder
To turn off Time Machine snapshots type in the following command:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
The Mac will likely ask for your password, so type it in and hit the return key. The type the word, exit and hit return. Quit Terminal.

Error message: Song can not be found.

I went to play a song I originally purchased on iTunes years ago and have played many times, then got this error message:
"The song "White Room" could not be used because the original file could not be found."
What do I do now? Can I re-download the file from the music store? If so, how? Thanks.

Hello Auroria,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to download a past purchase. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Can't sync iPod - Error Message: "disc cannot be read from or written to"

My ipod had been working fine until recently when every time I try and sync it I get the following error message:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I have tried all suggestions in Apple's support article for this issue but nothing works. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
I am sorry to report that I too have this same disc error problem when syncing my iPod to my iTunes library. I take no comfort in knowing that I am one of many that have this same error. I checked on the iPod lounge forum and I just couldn't count the number of users that had the same problem. There are just so many!
I too have tried "5 r's" and I have also tried using a few "s" words and others...lol.
It seems like there is no "fix" for this problem but I will say this: If there is no solution, then I will no longer be buying iPods. This is my third iPod that I have purchased. Which makes my Apple investment near the thousand dollar mark. That is way too much money spent to not have a functioning music player. I will be switching to another player to see if the grass is greener on the other side.
I have been most dissappointed with this error and I will not be "recycling" this iPod for ten percent off of my next iPod purchase.
