EXTREMELY slow synching and having to reinstall, for the 3rd time!

Recently, I got an update for iTunes. I installed it and it said "Would you like windows to restart now or would you like to manually restart later?" I clicked on that I would manually restart. Well, I had computer problems so I had to hold down the power button and restart. (This is unhealthy and should only be done in an emergency!) When I turned it back on, I got an alert that said "Unable to open iTunes, please uninstall then reinstall." So I did. This is about the 3rd time this has happened. Now my iPod Video (80g) syncs majorly slow. Like when I say majorly I mean about 30min-1hr major. If you could help me in any way, that would be awesome!
+EDIT: Also, when I'm listening to my music it will stop at random parts of the song, any idea why? It has done this ever since it came out of the box!+

So, since it syncs really slowly, make sure that it's not a USB issue with the iPod. Make sure it's the only USB device plugged in since the others might be taking power, and then try to get the iPod plugged in directly to the back of the computer to make sure it's plugged into your more powerful ports.
If that doesn't do it, it might be confused with a network drive and following that article helps you change the drive letter.
Also make sure to disable any third party software that might be interfering with it, go through this article if you've got XP or this one if you're using Vista.
Hope I was of some help,

    Which version of Audition? With the latest version of Audition running on a Windows 7 machine I can't get a dropdown menu at all when I left click on the time in Markers List. The only way to do it is with cntrl-c.

  • I downloded iphoto 11 9.2 and when opened it for the first time and the program started to update my iPhoto library the file got corrupted. That has happened in the two macs I have (both of them rather new and updated to last Lion version 10.7.2).

    I downloaded Iphoto 11 9.2 from the apps store (was on iphoto '09 before version 8.x) and when opened it for the first time it tried to update my photo librery and ended up corupting it to the extreme that I had to get a backup from time capsule and downgrade my iphoto version. I spent yesterday 6 hours at the genius bar in an apple store and they were not able to provide me with any other solution. In the emantime, I have to forget about about photo streaming... Any idea, is this a bug that somebody knows how tp fix?

    In fairness, this isn't an issue in iPhoto 11 but one in your Library. Some file or other in there is damaged and that's what causes the crash during the upgrade.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Getting an error while activating a planning area "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"

    Dear S&OP community,
    I am getting following error while creating a planning ares in a newly installed sandbox. "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level".
    This what I did...
    1) Created new attributes and master data objects and activated them successfully.
    2) Time profile created and activated successfully
    3) Trying to create planing area by assigning  time profile in step 2 and assigned master data from step1..Unable to save the data and system returns 
    this error - "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"
    My understanding is time profile needs to be active  but doesn't have to have values...
    Any help is appreciated.

  • I purchased numbers for my mac and my iPad.  It is asking me to purchase it again (for the 3rd time) for my iPhone.  Is that correct?

    I purchased numbers for my mac and my iPad.  It is asking me to purchase  it again (for the 3rd time) for my iPhone. 
    Is that correct?

    You only need to purchase Numbers once for each OS. Have you tried connecting your iPhone to your Mac via iTunes & adding Numbers there?
    Eric,
    The iOS versions of the iWork apps are "universal' & there is no reason to have to buy the iPhone version first.

  • Deploying iTunes and plugging an iPhone for the 1st time

    Hello everybody,
    I'm going tu upgrade iTunes to 9.2.1 on a feew weeks for the entire park.
    I enabled the parental control to doesn not allow the acces to the Apple store.
    I put the ipsw file on a network share.
    So when iTunes will be deployed I will send a mail with the procedure, how to upgrate the iOS.
    Here is the problem :
    There are a lot of people who haven't synced their iPhone with iTunes.
    So when they will plug for the first time their iPhone to the computer, iTunes will ask to register. So they will have to click on "Ask later". After that, an erreor occurs "problem to acces to iTunes Store" : that's noral because there is no access to the iTUnes store.
    When we click on OK, at this time, finaly, we are on the main screen, and start the upgrate.
    So there is the question :
    Is there a way to skip all the introduce screen when an iPhone is plugged for the 1st time to a computer, and have the main screen directly?
    Thank you very much.

  • So For The 3rd TIME WHEN I'VE PLEADINGLY ASKED NOT TO UPDATED Why Does FF Update My Browser?

    You see, I've asked this same question twice before, because Firefox has once again for the third time updated by browser DESPITE MY PLEADING REQUEST TWICE BEFORE NOT TO DO SO. but now I have a platform to make Firefox's DISHONESY public, putting them to task for specifically defying a very adamant request, NOT TO UPDATE MY BROWSER, CIRCUMSTANCES THAT have consistently, repeatedly occurred throughout all the years I've been with Firefox since 2005.
    Why is it that Firefox deliberately continues to defy, ignore the wishes of its most loyal customers inflame me beyond words, when I've repeatedly made it KNOWN QUITE WELL NOT TO HAVE MY BROWSER UPDATED.
    BUT NOW AFTER ALL THIS TIME, TOGETHER WITH THE INSIGHT I HAVE ACCRUED AS AN IT INDUSTRY SPECIALIST I do very well know why Firefox CONTINUES THIS PRACTICE WITH ABANDON.
    1.They don't like anyone fooling around with the about:config (then why did you ever include it in the first place) the way I do.
    2. They don't like anyone making incompatible add-ons extensions COMPATIBLE again the way I do.
    3. They don't like anyone tampering with Firefox the way I do.
    And all Firefox has to do to nullify all the meticulous hard work I spend changing about:config. configurations to accommodate my own and my company's needs and all the hard work. spending time enabling newly incompatible extensions I need to work as efficiently and effectively as possibleamong other things that I've tweaked, WHICH I EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO FOR THE REASONS I GAVE. YOU DO IT deliberately, spitefully so. And that is the definitive reason for YOUR total defiance in disregarding a customer's request. Additionally, YOU, fIREFOX feel that since YOU wrote the code, and own the code, YOU can insist USERS follow the Firefox protocols exactly as YOU demand.
    Another example of YOUR dictatorial approach to browsing the web is that that YOU feel no one should dare take a gander at content that is not up to the standards of WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS purity AND ANY OTHER CONTENT CORRUPTING THE MORALS OF OUR YOUTH.
    In one of the instances in which my browser was updated despite my adamant position against it, SOMEONE IN YOUR ORGANIZATION deleted several STRICTLY STRAIGHT adult sites from my bookmarks.
    SO NOW, NOT ONLY DO you HAVE AN INTRUSIVE BIG BROTHER ATTITUDE THAT NO ONE DARE DEVIATE FROM THE OFFICIAL FIREFOX BROWSING PROTOCOLS BUT NOW YOU'VE IMPLEMENTED A CENSORING CAMPAIGN ON WHAT YOU CAN READ, LOOK AT OR SIMPLY BOOKMARK.
    BUT IT GETS WORSE, MUCH WORSE.THE LAST TWO TIMES YOU UPDATED MY BROWSER AGAINST MY WISHES, YOU GAVE ME THE LAMEST MOST ASININE, INSULTING, MORONIC REASON WHY YOU UPDATED IT TWICE BEFORE AS IF THEY WERE MERELY EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT OTHERWISE WOULD NEVER HAVE VIOLATED YOUR CUSTOMER'S PRIVACY AS WELL AS BEING DEFIANT, ARROGANT AND JUST PLAIN TERRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES. BUT NOW IN ADDITION TO PROVING YOURSELVES TO BEING SOCIOPATH MEGALOMANIACS YOU'VE ALSO REVEALED YOURSELVES TO BEING ABSOLUTE CHRONIC LIARS.
    AND THAT IS BECAUSE I'M IN CHARGE OF MY COMPANY'S IT DEPARTMENT AND HAVE MANY COMPUTERS UNDER MY CONTROL AND SUPERVISION. I'VE ONLY RECENTLY SWITCHED OVER SOME OF OUR COMPUTERS FROM IE TO FIREFOX AS A TEST AND I AM PRIVY TO WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON AMONG THE COMPUTERS THAT HAVE BEEN USING FIREFOX AS A TEST STUDY.
    AND WHILE THE TRUTH BEING WHAT IT IS, YOU MADE SURE NOT TO MESS WITH MY BROWSER, AS IT IS CLEARLY CONFIGURED NOT TO BE UPDATED, WHICH TO YOUR CREDIT, YOU HAD GIVEN IT A WIDE BERTH, BUT YOU DID SINISTERLY UPDATE SIX COMPUTERS THAT WERE PART OF OUR TEST STUDY
    THAT HAD THE SAME BROWSER CONFIGURATION REQUEST NOT TO BE UPDATED BUT WHICH YOU UPDATED NEVERTHELESS. THESE COMPUTERS WERE PART OF A PRODUCTIVITY STUDY WHICH BY UPDATING IT SET THE ENTIRE LITTLE EXPERIMENT OF OURS BACK A BIT.
    SO, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH YOU? I REALLY HAVE TO THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT HOW I RESPOND TO AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS SHOWN NOTHING BUT THE WORST SORT OF APATHY, DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES I'VE SEEN SINCE BEING IN THE IT INDUSTRY.

    Firefox never forces updates on me. I set three settings in the about:config window.
    <pre>app.update.auto = false
    app.update.enabled = false
    app.update.silent = false</pre>

  • Trying to open and read an ebook for the first time

    When I click on the ebook file, it says I need to open it using Digital Edition. So when I say OK to do that, it just goes to the Adobe Digital Edition home page. I have gone in and set up an ID in Adobe.

    To answer your question on how I got the files on the IPod Shuffle, XP assumed it was some sort of flash drive or something and just allowed me to drag and drop them onto the device. But it was not in any sort of format I suppose where I could play it.
    The good news is that I followed the advice here and I downloaded ITunes software and after playing with this software for a while I figured out how it was able to view the IPod Shuffle connected to my USB port. It was pretty cool. And, sure enough, it said that I needed to update some system software on the device. And I did. And -- long story short -- I am pleased to say that as I type this right now I am listening to songs on my IPod Shuffle !!
    The only question I have now is this. When displaying for the IPod, ITunes had two tabs to display. One showed the contents and the other showed the settings. I figured out that the contents are loaded by a button from the Music contents and folder. But at the bottom of the settings window I noticed a diagram. It shows the audio files in blue, and free space in white. But the most is what is in orange. I have put nothing but audio files on the device. So I assume that the orange is an operating system of some kind. Or is there something else wrong?

  • Help!! My Profile Has Been Deleted for the 3rd Time!

    Can anyone help me with this. I just tried to login to discussions, with the same password I have been using for the last year (since the last time this same problem happened to me), and when I tried to login, a popup showed saying "invalid password". I use Safari and Firefox to save the id and password, so I know it is enter properly.
    OK. Fine. So I had the reset password sent to my dot mac account. However, when I login in with the reset password, I am immediately sent to the default, first sign up page! What!!!! I have been using my dot mac id for 7 years as my login!
    So, I enter in the same alias that I have always used, and I am promptly told that it is already taken!!!???
    The last time this happened I had to go through the same process and I lost all my Level points - when from several hundred to Zero, which has happened again!
    Can some tell what happened and how I can get my profile and alias back?
    I looked up my previous alias and it is still there:

    Hello Gary,
    Your profile (userID=306818) is not deleted, and be sure there is a way to eventually go on with it.
    Here's what I would try:
    - First, delete your cookies in both Safari and Firefox (in Preferences>Security or Preferences>Privacy), so you make sure to start fresh with no possible interference at all on you browsers' side.
    - Then go to "My Contact Info" again, and enter your complete ID as it has always been from the beginning
    (should be something like [email protected] ?)
    - Now that everything is straight, the only possible problem left is the password:
    Try the very first, old password.
    If it doesn't work, try the new password I understand you tried to change afterwards.
    In any case: do not use autofill; type IDs and passwords yourself this time.
    You'll be able to leave it to autofill in the future when the problem will be fixed.
    Good luck!

  • My incoming mail server stopped working for the 3rd time Help?

    This is the third time my incoming mail server stopped working any suggestions on how to repair this?
    Thank You!

    If Apple replaced the logic board three times for the same issue, and the third board has now broken for the same reason, you may be able to ask Apple for a replacement machine. You're out of warranty, and Apple is under no obligation to do anything for you (unless the current logic board was replaced by Apple less than 90 days ago in which case it's still under warranty), however, as a good will gesture, they may be willing to exchange your system for another one. You can start at the Apple store or call Apple customer care directly.

    Security is everything these days. Think about putting your system on an auto-update for security related patches, or due to 'other issues' if you'd rather, simply make it a rule to run the system update when you're checking your mail, that way you'll always stay up on the security updates. *IF* your system is vulnerable, to a javascript exploit, even if you are running HTTPS everywhere, you are at risk. Not only are you at risk, but every computer you come into contact with is then also at risk. Be kind to your internet neighbors and if you have any questions, see
