Exclamation points every time ater lengthy restoration

I just got through spending 5 hours trying to restore my 5th generation ipod after having so many problems with it and was wondering: Why are there always exclamation points by all my songs everytime I open iTunes when I spent over two hours trying to import all the songs from my ipod to the computer? At first there were 2 and sometimes 5 duplicate songs where I had to open each file to see which one was working. I have imported everything back into iTunes after my computer crashed and erased everything in the library and was finally making headway. I deleted the files that had the exclamation points leaving the real ones in the library which seriously took over 5 hours. So I am so defeated right now. Can someone please help me? I have been having problems with my ipod for over 2 months Am I going to have to add folders and delete duplicates everytime I go into iTunes?

Hey mandajuliet,
Can I just ask how long you've had your iPod for?

MMS simply doesn't work, red exclamation point every time.

can't send a picture over MMS at all. Please advise.

MMS Problem,
I agree with everything chris has said. Another thing you can try is go to settings, general, reset, all network settings. This is probably an ATT fail, but it may be your phone accessing the ATT network. If it does not work i suggest going into ATT and getting it checked. They will probably replace the sim card and test for data transfer. Best of luck

MSE Creates A Restore Point Every Time It Updates

MSE creates a redundant restore point every time it updates.
Is there any way to stop this from happening without
disabling the system from creating restore points entirely?
Thanks.

Thanks.
The HD is 500GB. I think by default 2% or 10GB is reserved for restore points. Once the limit is reached the restore points are overwritten - last in, first out. I have a preferred restore point established that I'd like to be preserved.
My concern is the way in which Windows Update is used to update MSE definitions. Everytime (daily) MSE AV definitions are D/L it creates another restore point. Eventually it will overwrite the restore point I established. I guess I can always remove the restore points MSE creates using CCleaner or use a different AV program but it's something that should have been addressed by MS. They should have provided users with the option of not having MSE create restore points. I know I can always turn the feature off altogether and create restore points manually but there are times when having a restore point created automatically can come in handy - like when installing a program for example.
Aside from this issue I've also noticed other little annoyances throughout the Windows 7 / 64bit - Home Premium OS.
I'm sure I'll discover more annoyances with this OS over time.

Hello everyone, I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s and every time I try restoring it, it always goes to about 75% of the process then it says the iphone could not restore because of error 1. This is not error -1 it is error 1. I reserached this error and it said to make sure I have the latest version of iTunes, i do, To make sure i have a security software updated, i do, and ive done everything it tells me to do yet it wont let me restore my iphone. Before I tried restoring it, it was working perfectly fine besides the battery which i have just replaced yesterday. Ive tried restoring it in two different computers with two different cables but still no luck. I found this phone at a park and it was working perfectly fine until i tried restoring it. I have no idea what to do now. I appreciate your guyses help!

This error generally indicates a hardware failure. Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

Sorted it out. If anyone has this problem i reccommend visiting http://forums.ilounge.com/ipod-classic-ipod-5g-video/237546-ipod-classic-80gb-fr eezes-itunes-need-restore-plz-help-2.html#post1403546 there's some pretty good advice on it. have to go into control panel and re-format iPod into NTFS file. good luck.

Rental MacBooks - Best way to restore to the same point every time?

We are an Audio Visual rental hosue and part of our hire stock features Macbook Pro 15inch 2013 models.
We need to keep a certain degree of software on them that is not in the standard stock of apps (Playback Pro, QLab to name a couple)
We tried to create a time capsule backup for the Macbooks in their current state, but when we sent them out on hire to a client then attempted to restore them, the restore was not quite what we expected. - Not sure if this was an error in the way we backed up to time capsule or weather this just wont work the way we want it to - (time capsule wouldnt let us restore from the backup we originally created 2 weeks prior)
Does anyone have any suggestions as a good way to achieve what we want to achieve?
Further info - We stock a large number of PCs and the way we do this is to create a mirror of the primary hard drive which on insertion of a restore DVD copies this mirror back onto the PC over the top.

Hi,
First at all,
we don’t recommend to

5. After that, make the old 2008 DC offline for a while. If everything things are working fine, you can then demote the windows 2008 DC.

Similar issue -- this is the third time in as many months that I've had to restore my iPad. It's a iPad Mini w/ 32GB (ME277LL/A), running the latest iOS8.1.2. The "other" data starts off about 1GB and will bob around that. I was careful about games this time, seeing only a slight rise in the data. Once it started to rise, I deleted all of the game and the data on Game Center. No joy -- the data stays about the same.
Then I noticed it was really climbing -- shooting up to about 10GB and sitting there, no matter what I did: sync it: nothing. Deleting music (on the off chance it was album art or some such: nothing. Deleted all the books in iBooks: no effect -- still 10GB. Cleared the iCloud storage, cleared caches repeatedly: nothing. Reset everything: no effect. Only Restoring the iPad -- which takes forever and is a gigantic pain in the @$$ -- gets it down. This is exactly the same thing that happened the other two times -- I lose about 10GB to "other."
I now suspect, thinking on what I was doing with the device, that pulling movies from iTunes seems to be the culprit. Deleting the movies might take the movie "off the iPad", but there seems to be a corresponding jump in Other. My guess is there's some glitch dumping the information elsewhere.
It makes a 32GB iPad pretty frickin' close to useless in a remarkable amount of time. I've not had this issue until this iPad (bought last summer) with the iOS8 upgrade. I don't see this happen on the iPhone 5S with the same OS...that's why I dialed down to iTunes (when is it not smack in the middle of issues?) and Video as the culprit; I don't watch movies on the phone.
I've noticed a massive amount of posts in support and around the web on this matter...it might be time for Apple to shift it and do something about the matter. If I'm going to be restricted to surfing the web, email, and little else thanks to the Other issue, it really doesn't make sense to stick with this device. I can doo all that on my laptop, can't it?

I'm having problems creating a slideshow that I can burn to a DVD. I can see all of the pictures but it goes black at a certain point every time. I'm using iPhoto. I've tried copying it but the same thing happens. Ideas?

I've loaded about 100 photos into a slideshow that I would like to burn into a DVD to share with friends at a 50th birthday celebration. It keeps going black at a certain point but I can see the pictures in the cue. Any ideas on how to correct this and how to burn it to disc easily? Thanks! This is my first time trying to do this.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
how are you trying to export the slideshow?
Here's how I recommend one get a slideshnow to iDVD: export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Conference Call Disconnects At Same Point Every Time

Each time I make a conference call on my iPhone, it disconnects after no more than 15 minutes. It just hangs up. I'm not sure what happens. I don't have any other problems with it. Is anyone else having this problem when making a conference call?

My husband has been experiencing the same problem. I wonder if there is a standard time-out because it always seems to be after 15 minutes.

OK, let's try this: as it sounds as if there's something wrong with your hard drive.
Try booting into Internet recovery by holding down the command, option and R keys whilst booting. Make certain that you have a good Internet connection before doing this. Eventually (and it will take a while) you'll see a globe on your screen and then, eventually again, the Recovery screen. Select Disk Utility, then at the top left highlight your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've changed it) and click on the "Verify" button. If everything's OK with your boot drive you'll get a green text telling you that. If it needs to be repaired, then you can try to repair it. If it does need to be repaired, I'm hoping that you already have a back-up in place as there's probably a 50/50 chance of Disk Utility being able to repair the drive.

Podcasts and the dreaded exclamation point

Most of my podcasts will no longer update. This actually started BEFORE iTunes 7. I can see new episodes are available but when I try to download I get messages like "this URL was not found on the server". Per another poster, I tried deleting and reloading one of the podcast subscriptions. Not only did I lose everything, I cannot resubscribe. I get the URL message. I can, however manually download individual episodes (pain in the...)
How can I escape the ! ?

I'm having similar problems with the dreaded exclamation point. Even after reading several threads, my problem still isn't solved. Here's the lowdown:
I've tested this feed on 7 different computers (5 PCs, 2 Macs).
All but 2 of the computers can subscribe and download the episodes with no problems. The troublesome computers? One PC. And one Mac.
The feed has been redirected through FeedBurner. I'm subscribing manually (and yes, I typed the feed correctly).
On the problem PC, I can't even get iTunes to recognize the podcast.
When I subscribe to the "original" .xml doc (not through FeedBurner), it works fine.
On the problem Mac, I can subscribe to the podcast. The episodes appear. But none of them will download. I get the exclamation point each time. Clicking on it reveals this message: "There was a problem adding ('Episode Name') to iTunes. The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play."
When I subscribe to the "original" .xml doc (not through FeedBurner), it gives the same results.
The problem computers are both running iTunes 7.0.2 (15)
The 5 computers that work (Mac and PC) are running various versions of iTunes.
I've downloaded some random podcasts from the iTunes Store on the Mac. Some work. Some still give me the exclamation point.
I've downloaded some random podcasts (even others from FeedBurner) on the PC. Everything works - except the one I really need.

Let's try the following document with that one.
