Error Message - Any Help

Hi need help, keep getting this message when trying to uplaod onto my Shuffle.
"The Ipod "Sean P McMahon's ipod" cannot be updated. The disk couldn't be read from or written to"
Any help would be great. Going crazy with having to hear kids on the bus.

I am getting the same type of problem and this is what I think happened with mine (this is my second it was warrantied in early August although the website states I have expired my 90 free chane for support but not according to my math...)
anyway I have a Mac Mini at home and get my music synced from there the iPod shuffle was at my office and I ran the battery down by accident, so I thought when I purchased the unit it said I could charge from "any" usb port so I hooked it up to my work PC that has iTunes on it and the computer stated it did not recognize the device and therefore would delete all data, I have reset the unit, tried to update it but now the Mac says it is an unrecognized unreadable disc and I have tried to run daignostics where it states the unit is an iPod with like 900MB of info but it says it can not do anything- so I can't even use the iPod updater...- any suggestions at all out there I have looked up any topic I thought fit and none of those seem to fit but this one....

Hi bestrongself,
Before you use a SQL Server Agent job to back up all database, I recommend you run the backup statement in query windows directly, and check if it can run well. I do a test by using the following statement,
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) -- database name
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files
DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup
DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name
-- specify database backup directory
SET @path = 'C:\Backup\'
-- specify filename format
SELECT @fileDate = CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),GETDATE(),112)
DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT name
FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
WHERE name NOT IN ('master','model','msdb','tempdb') -- exclude these databases
OPEN db_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @fileName = @path + @name + '_' + @fileDate + '.BAK'
BACKUP DATABASE @name TO DISK = @fileName
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name
END
CLOSE db_cursor
DEALLOCATE db_cursor
the script allow you to backup each database within your instance of SQL Server.
Your account need to have read and right permission to the path file.
If the above script can run well directly, then you can create a job and put your backup statement inside of it. There is a similar detail about how to create a simple backup job in SQL Server. You can review it.

Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
Please someone help ...
Thanks.

Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

Certificate Related Error Message/Please Help

Today I received an "Unable to verify SSL server pop.gmail.com" message on my Mail server. I transfer mail from gmail to Mail.
"Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "pop.gmail.com". The error was:
The certificate for this server has expired.
You might be connecting to a computer that is pretending to be "pop.gmail.com", and putting your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway?"
In the lower box, it lists the Version, Serial Number, Issuer Name (which is from Zaire, Western Cape, and lists the organization as Thawte Consulting cc and other info, Subject name is Google Inc, common name is pop.gmail.com, then gives a Signature Algorithm, Parameters, etc.
It won't let me Copy and Paste so I have not hit the Continue button for concern of losing that info for reference.
I went to Help which instructed me to do the following:
I'm getting a certificate-related error message
If you get an error message with the word "certificate" in it, make a copy of the message and contact your Internet service provider (ISP) or network administrator. The error message may help them diagnose your problem.
If your mail server uses a self-signed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate, each time you open Mail you'll see an error message stating that the certificate is not valid. You can continue, but you'll see the same message every time you open Mail. To stop seeing this message, you can permanently accept the certificate.
To permanently accept a self-signed SSL certificate:
Click the Show Certificate button in the error message.
The certificate appears with a certificate icon in the upper-left corner.
Hold down the Option key and drag the certificate icon to the desktop.
Double-click the certificate icon on the desktop, and choose X.509 Anchors from the pop-up menu. Click Add.
The certificate is permanently accepted.
You must have permission to administer the computer for this procedure to work.
For information about encryption, click "Tell me more."
Instead of asking for the "580 Anchors" , it asked simply "Do you want to add the certificates from pop.gmail.com.cer to a keychain?"
I clicked "Add"
The pop.gmail.com certificate AND Thawte Freemail Member AND Thawte Personal Freemail certificates is now entered in my Keychain.
There are no dates listed under "Created" or "Modified" for those certs under Keychain.
IS THIS OK OR DO I HAVE A PROBLEM SINCE THESE THAWTE CERTS ARE LOCATED IN ZAIRE???
IF IT IS A PROBLEM, HOW DO I FIX/CHANGE/OK/DELETE/MODIFY, ETC. IT? PLEASE BE CLEAR.
CAN I/SHOULD I JUST DELETE ALL THREE/SOME OF THE CERTS NOW IN KEYCHAIN?
WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO GET MAIL AS BEFORE THIS MESSAGE IF DELETE THE CERTS?
I believe this is the first time I have received a message concerning certificates so I am naive concerning this.
THANK YOU.

I had similar gmail/cert problem yesterday - not for the first time!
I deleted the prefs (user/library/preferences), deleted the gmail account (mail prefernces), ran applejack ( http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ ) & added the account from scratch.
Annoying I know, and my inbox was 200+ emails but nobody seems to know what or why this happens (my previous post) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=243186&tstart=0
Perhaps this is related to certain emails (an email scam), i run 3 macs & the mail account on the affected machine receives my business email & this is the only machine the gmail/cert problem occurs.

That's definitely enough to start.
It sure seems like it should work...and then I saw that you're using a router. It could very well be that the router is the weak link here.
Instead connecting to your network router, try using a direct USB connection from your MBP. If that doesn't work, you read this post, which may be relevant to your problem:

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Adobe software is conflictive when you use Migration Assistant because their applications don't work properly after migration. If you keep the DVDs or the installers of your software, use them to reinstall all your Adobe applications and they should start working correctly

To try and get the paper to feed, with a flashlight or other bright light, please check the paper feed area of the printer and verify that there are no paper jams or obstructions in the printer that may be causing the error. Once this has been done, please look inside of the printer where the inks are located and ensure that there are no obstructions in there that may be causing the print head not to move freely. Next, please remove and reseat all of the ink tanks in the printer. Once all of these steps have been performed, please follow the steps below to perform a roller cleaning on the printer:
