  • TS1393 I cannot eject my iPod using either itunes or the eject button on bottom tool bar beacuse it says something is in use by another application or "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because  a program is still accessing it" Synced new iPad

    How can I eject my ipod when neither itunes not the "safe to eject" button will allow it.  Itunes says "...cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."  The safe to eject button says "The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it."  The has never happened before.  The only thing new is that I added an iPad yesterday.  Thanks. 

    Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting.  If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
    Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
    Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
    Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
    In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

  • IPod shows up as a Generic Volume

    I have the 5th generation color, 60GB, IPod with ITunes 6.0 running on Windows XP through a FireWire Port. The IPod was working great until my last automatic update from ITunes to IPod. Only about half of my new songs were transferred and now ITunes will not recognize my IPod anymore. I notices in Windows Explorer that my IPod is now showing up as drive f: rather than drive e: as before this problem. It is a "Generic volume" and "is not formatted" in dive f: I also get meesages that say the IPod needs to be reformatted using the latest Ipod Updater. But when I try running the Updater, it gets as far as "initializing" and will not continue. The Update and Restore options are grayed out so I can't even reformat the IPod. I've tried resetting the Ipod and have downloaded the latest versions of the Ipod Updater and ITunes 6.0. How can I reassign the IPod to drive E:? Also, you should know that I successfully updated an older IPod on the same computer: Itunes 6.0 connected to it (as Drive e:) with no problem and automatically transferred all my new songs. Help Please Anyone

    Hi Donald-
    The drive letter issue may be the key to solving the problem you're having, especially if you have network drives or an external drive attached to your computer. Try assigning the iPod a drive letter much higher in the alphabet, such as P:.
    Instructions for doing this can be found in Mike Kelley's site below:

  • What is generic volume? Cause its annoying me!!!

    Hi everyone!!
    I recently had my ipod replaced cause the first one had countless problems with it. Anyway, now everytime I try to eject my ipod from itunes it says its in use by another application...but everything is closed, I have no other programs running or music playing. Or...I'll try to disconnect it from the safely remove hardware window, and it has three things I can remove, USB something a-rather, generic volume E:, or Apple ipod...I choose apple ipod but it says the generic volume cannot be stopped now, try stopping it later or some crap like that. Ive had to rip my ipod from the computer a few times cause I just cant disconnect it the proper way! I really don't want to have to do that anymore I'll surely ruin something!!
    Thanks guys, hopefully someone can help me!
    Have a good one!!

    First of all a generic volume is in basic terms a formatted harddrive that windows sees. the iPod reports to windows its connected but windows also sees the Harddrive in it (The Generic Volume)
    Secondly the reason its giving you the "in use by another application" is because even tho you may not have any programs running you can see, there is software/programs in the background running you don't see, the main thing that will cause this is an antivirus program like norton or Mcafee. they run in the background to protect you from viruses. when you connect the iPod the antivirus program running in the background "Grabs" it and watches it for any virus activity. there are also other programs within windows running in the background that will cause this too.
    One good way to stop this from happening is to goto iTunes with your iPod connected to the PC and deselecting "Enable Disk Usage". the quickest way to get to this is to rightclick your iPod in the sorce list on the left and select "iPod Options". hit the "Music" sub tab and uncheck enable disk use, you may want to also set your iPod to auto update all songs or selected play list.

  • Generic Volume in Device manager

    My BB is not being recognized in Windows XP SP3.  It shows up as a generic Volume.  I did recently upgraded my SD memory card to a 8gig.  It did recognize it under options, so i do think that it is working properly, as far as the blackberry is concerned.
    So, i thought it was a driver issue, and decided to uninstall the BB desktop manager, and reinstall, and that didn't work.
    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    This is funny, so, I resolved my issue, lol.  This is what it was.  I had a USB driver issue, w/ a software product I installed on my computer. The product is called "Acronis® True Image Home 2009"
    Its a backup/recovery software.  I got the idea from a post i was browsing after looking up the error " "This Device Cannot Start. (Code 10)"
    Under the Generic Volume error code...
    Google brought me to a site " http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-3658632.ph​p"
    Looking up the "Class lower filters", "Class upper filters", "Device upper filters", Device lower
    filters".
    I found a list of Drivers under, I think, Class Lower Filters. and looked up the programs involved, Acronis was among them... So... I uninstalled Acronis, and the problem was solved...
    I posted this follow up to help users and Blackberry/RIM.  Hopefully some day they will come up w/ an update so I could run both
    Thank you and good luck

  • Unable to remove dockin station (Envy Split x2) due to Generic Volume

    I have had my HP Envy Split x2 for just over 6 months now and the latest problem I am having with it is I can't remove the screen and use it as a tablet, which coincidentally is the main feature of the laptop.
    I can of course remove it without using the 'safely remove hardware' button, however I would prefer to be able to do it properly/
    The message I currently get is "You cannot eject your computer because one of the devices in the docking station, 'Generic volume' cannot be stopped at the moment"

    Paul, welcome to the forum.
    I have a Split 13 x2.  I normally disconnect the screen when the system is turned off.  It has never caused any problems.

  • Office 2013 Volume License Activation question

    Hello,
    we have software assurance, so MAK and KMS are available for O2013.
    I cannot use KMS server (there are reasons for now). So I have to use MAK. I know that it is possible later on to convert MAK to KMS.
    I found topic about ADBA. But missing few points from the description after my 2 questions.
    1. Can I use KMS key for use with Volume Activation Tool without actually having KMS installed?
    2.  at the end it says just 180 days activation. What will happen then?
    From:
    http://searchenterprisedesktop.techtarget.com/tip/Using-Active-Directory-activation-and-other-new-Office-2013-tools
    -------Prior to Office 2013, IT had to rely on Multiple Activation Key (MAK) or Key Management Service (KMS) activation. These processes were generally more complex than ADBA. Little has changed with either MAK or KMS in Office 2013. With ADBA, however,
    IT can easily
    activate Office 2013 clients through their connections to the domain.
    To implement ADBA, administrators must use the Volume Activation Tools utility, which walks them through the setup process. After admins supply the KMS host key, the setup process adds an activation object to the
    Active Directory Domain Services. The activation object uses the same Generic Volume Licenses Key (GVLK) and KMS host pair as that for regular KMS activation. When the client joins the domain, the activation object automatically activates the Office installation,
    granting a license to the client for 180 days. --------------

    Q1) there is a KMShost product key, and there is a KMSclient product key.
    The KMShost product key, you install this in your KMShost machine, and the client machines which have the KMSclient product key will contact your KMShost machine for activation.
    Volume Licensed products are provided by MSFT with the KMSclient product key already installed. The KMSclient product keys are also publically available in the TechNet library documentation.
    VAMT can be used, with or without KMS installed. VAMT is not part of KMS, and, KMS is not part of VAMT.
    ADBA is not part of VAMT and VAMT is not part of ADBA.
    ADBA can only be used if your AD is at the later version, and, ADBA only works for the latest products like Windows8 and Office2013.
    If you have older AD or older products you will still need to have KMS or MAK.
    Q2) after 180days, it's the same as KMS - the KMSclient (or ADBA client) will enter "non-genuine" mode if the client has not contacted ADBA object (or KMShost) to renew the activation status.
    This wiki article I put together, includes a few helpful links about ADBA and KMS:

  • Controlling TV Speakers Indirectly with Apple Remote via System Volume

    My Mac Mini is connected to a Sony TV via an HDMI cable.  I would like to control the volume of the TV speakers indirectly by controlling the Mac Mini system volume with my Apple remote.  But when I attempt to change the volume the speaker icon appears and is grayed out.
    What do I need to do in order to control the TV speakers indirectly with my Apple Remote by adjusting the Mac Mini system volume?

    As standard Macs do not support controlling the volume of an attached TV connected to the HDMI port. This feature is called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
    There is at least one adaptor which can 'insert' the CEC commands, see http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/104-usb-hdmi-cec-adapter.aspx
    This adaptor however requires the software you are using to have support for driving this adaptor, therefore it does not look like the generic Mac volume control in association with the Apple remote would control it. Why you ask did I mentioned it then? Well XBMC (XBox Media Center) for the Mac does supprt this adaptor, you can therefore use XBMC on the Mac to play movies to your TV and control the volume of the TV.
    If you can write software, you could also in theory use their library to add a more generic volume control.

  • A135-S2326 replacing hard drive (bad sectors) Need advice and opinions Please

    Hi,   (note pic below of my computers actual specs from this morning)
     I have a Satellite A135-S2326. It has the max memory at 2GB, it came with 512 and I upgraded to 2GB. It runs Windows Vista Home Edition...
    Anyhow, it accidentally fell off my bed a few days ago (darn dogs) and damaged my hard drive. Boot problems, errors, bad sectors, etc. I have tried everything to fix and to no avail. While I am currently using it I know I need to replace the hard drive ASAP before I can't turn it on at all one day... I am now saving all my files and stuff I need off of it to an external drive. The laptop did not come with a windows Vista restore CD so I am using Acronis software to make an image of the hard disc, hopefully it will work and I won't have to purchase my own copy of windows Vista.
    Some questions I have are:
    1.) Is it possible to upgrade the hard drive to a faster one / better one when I replace?
         The hard drive that came preinstalled is a Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00 80GB, which I believe from spec's documentation is a 5400RPM  Serial- ATA ???
         What is the max size I can get for replacement and what is the max RPM, or do I HAVE to use a 5400RPM???
         What do you suggest?
    2.) I have a copy of windows XP Professional w/SP2. Is it possible to put this windows XP Pro.w/SP2 on a fresh hard drive in the Satellite A135-S2326? If so, is there a different hard drive that I must have to do that?  Also if an XP install is possible on a new hard drive, which drivers must I have for this laptop when I do it??
    3.) And finally, could this laptop handle windows 7 business? Only asking because I can get a VERY cheap copy of windows 7 business from my school...I'm in college at DeVry and can get a copy of Windows 7 delivered to my door in 2 weeks for less then $30.00. So thought that MAY be an option....??? Not sure if my other spec's can handle it though???
    4.) What would you suggest I do with the options I have, what is best thing to do in your opinion??
          Please see pic below of my actual computers specs from this morning, using Belarc Advisor...
    Thank you in advance
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated

    You can use ANY 2.5" SATA hard drive of any size in that system.  I would recommend one of the Western Digital Scorpio BLue's as they are reliable and offer good performance. 
    If it runs Vista it will run Windows 7.  I would wait a bit before trying Win7 though as Toshiba hasn't released all of the Windows 7 drivers yet. 
    As for Windows XP, while it is possible to install XP on that system (and quite easily for that matter) Toshiba doesn't provide any of the XP drivers needed to get it to run properly.  You could determine all of the various chipsets the system uses and go to each chipsat manufacturer's support site to see if they provide an XP driver to get it working, but I don't guarantee that they have all of the needed drivers.  If you do decide to go ahead with this let me know and I'll post the directions for installing XP onto a SATA hard drive that doesn't ahve a floppy drive. 
    Right now your best choice is to replace the old hard drive and restore the system from your Acronis image.  When ALL of the Windows 7 drivers become available you could install it in a dual boot configuration to determine if you prefer it or not.  It is both a step up and a step back from Windows Vista.  Some people will like it while others won't.  Only you will be able to determine which you prefer.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Share the knowledge

    I too have gotten a window titled "Problem Ejecting USB Mass Storage Device" with the statement "Windows can't stop your 'Generic volume' because it is in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again
    later."
    What I do not understand is this.  The OS does not suspect and is not guessing (one would hope!) that a program or window or file might still be using the device--no, it definitely knows a specific program or window or file is in fact still using the
    device; or it is confused--i.e. a badly written OS--and delusionally thinks a program or window or file is still using the device.  Either way: great.  Why doesn't the OS share its knowledge with the user?  Why doesn't it just tell us which
    specific program or window or file it thinks is using the device (e.g. offer us another window with a list of those programs or windows or files)?  How is the statement in that window at all helpful?  Who would design an OS that alerts a user about
    a specific cause which the OS knows is the source of a specific problem it is having but which does not tell the user what that known and specific cause is?
    Similar issues happen all the time in Windows. (This issue may not be relevant in this forum but I bring it up to demonstrate the above is not an isolated situation.)  A similar issue is with long file names.  When deleting a folder Windows will
    sometimes alert the user that the folder contains filenames (and/or paths) which are too long, etc. but it does not give the user a list of the specific files which are causing that problem.  But it must know specifically which files they are--otherwise
    it would not have been able to generate the alert window.
    These and other problems cannot be hardware problems; they are not vendor problems; they are Windows problems.  The programmers simply did not think through the consequences of what they were doing.  They were smart enough to make sure the OS stopped
    a device from being prematurely ejected because a program or window was still open but not smart enough to realize that was only half the task and that the user needs to also know what specific program or window is causing the problem too.  A user shouldn't
    need third party software to fix an OS's shortcomings.  That too would be a shortcoming.

    Hi,
    This issue is not caused by Windows, but 3rd part process.
    You can use Microsoft tool Handle to check such issue:
    Handle is a utility that displays information about open handles for any process in the system. You can use it to see the programs that have a file open, or to see the object
    types and names of all the handles of a program.
    Copy handle.exe to C:\Windows\system32 folder.
    Run cmd.exe as administrator
    Type handle -a C: /Test/test in command prompt, then it will list all handles and processes accessing this folder.
    It shows that cmd.exe is accessing c:\Test\test. Then, we can use handle –c command to close the handles, along with
    the handle ID, and the process ID, and the "-y" switch to confirm the delete.

  • How can i "Safely Remove" My Passport Ultra from my PC?

    I can't EVER "Safely Remove" my My Passport Ultra drive from my PC!
    The computer's an HP notebook (if that matters), and it's running Vista (64bit).
    I can't believe that there's NO way to eject / unmount / "Safely Remove" the drive from my computer when i need to disconnect it from the port!
    But i can't find any way to do it, other than shutting down the system entirely. Obviously, shutting down every time i want to unplug the drive is so RIDICULOUSLY impractical, i can't even consider it as an option.
    The "Knowledge Base" pages don't seem particularly knowledgeable on the subject.
    The only suggestions offereed there are to close any applications that are acccessing thedrive, including the Windows indexer and any virus/spyware programs that might be running.
    Obviously I've already done that. I've set the drive to never be idexed or scanned/monitored for viruses and spyware.
    And yet still, every time i try to eject the drive, it's the same message:
    "Problem Ejecting USB Mass Storage Device"
    "Windows can't stop your 'Generic volume' device because it is in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again later."
    Sometimes, even after i manually end the WD software via the Windows services menu, they just start back up again a few seconds later (even though i set them in the services menu to only be launched manually).
    But the rest of the time, even when none of the WD software is running, Windows still tells me the drive is in use and won't let me eject it.
    There's GOTTA be a way around this.
    I've never had this problem with any OTHER external drive.
    I'm still waiting for a reply to the Support Case i submited yesterday, but i'm getting impatient.
    Does anybody else know any solutions to this problem? I can't be the only one stumped by it...

    Update:
    I think I finally solved the problem (no thanks to WD...).
    I had already excluded the My Passport Drive from being indexed by the Windows Indexer.
    And from being scanned or protected by antivirus software.
    And from being monitored by Windows Defender.
    What i didn't realize is that the WD Smartware software and the other WD applications were running automatically at startup, whether or not the drive was connected.
    And so even if i closed them manually, they relaunched automatically in the background again.
    Finally, i used a third-party program to remove all the WD applications and services from the startup and autorun lists on my computer.
    This seems to be working so far.
    I've been able to connect the drive, manually run the WD Smartware application, perform a backup, and close WD Smartware again. And then Windows allows me to "Safely Remove" (eject) the drive without any problems. I've gotta say that it makes no sense for WD's software to be ser up to run automatically, but that's the way it was set up by default when i installed it. Maybe it would make sense if WD expected its users to leave it connected and running all the time, but this is a PORTABLE drive. Leave it connected and constantly running in the background would defeat the purpose of being "portable" entirely, wouldn't it?

  • VISTA - can;t find device driver for your IPOD - read the solution here!

    It would appear that VISTA is rather stupid when it comes to the Ipod - it can't find the driver for itself. Do the normal autmatic way of trying to find the driver (that doesn't find the device) then look in the hardware device list (control panel) you should see you Ipod listed under other devices with a yellow triangle next to it. Right click this line and select "properties". then click "update device driver". Then, DON'T do the automatic find, instead click "I will choose the device from a list". Click on "storage device" and voila! VISTA now finds a USB mass storage device and installs it - JOB DONE! HOORAY!
    good luck!
    Mark.
    Ipod 5G video colour   Other OS   WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE

    When you are prompted to look for a driver input
    C:\WINDOWS\System32 and browse it will find a generic
    volume that fixes it.
    I tried this as well. I can find a Generic Volume (I think it lists SD, MMC- neither of which seem correct), but neither of those helps. iPod still isn't recognized as a drive even in disc mode. I started another thread after not finding this one. I'm not sure why USB Mass Storage device isn't one of the options.

    It looks as if you have some very old hardware drivers installed - audio and video ones from 2004 even? - not to mention most likely a lot of junk in the Registry. I'd suggest you try the following:
    NOTE: If your antivirus or antispyware software is out of date, upgrade or update it first, and make sure no malware is getting in your way. I can't tell from your list if any is installed.
    1) Delete your current versions of iTunes and QuickTime (if installed) completely.
    2) Download some basic cleanup software - Glary Utilities is good, and the free version is plenty - and run the basic utility set. That will get rid of some unneeded files and clean up the Registry. Make sure to let it delete temp files also. THEN SHUT DOWN your computer completely.
    3) Restart after about a minute, and, as suggested, install Service Pack 3 for WIndows XP. If you're not running Automatic Updates, you should be! But if you have to, go to the Microsoft Updates page, and do a manual update, make sure you install ALL critical updates/patches/security updates, etc., and any optional updates related to hardware and/or audio and video. If any update seems unrelated, or if you don't really know what it does, skip it for now.
    4) Go to Dell's website, and in the support section, choose Drivers and Downloads, then choose the Service Tag option. The resulting page will show a list of available driver updates. Before installing each one, check the Device Manager to make sure you don't install an older driver over a newer one AND that you're installing the correct driver for your device.
    5) For all of these steps, restart when prompted - don't choose to Restart Later. If anything goes wrong, it's a lot easier to go back 1 step to a recent good configuration than figure out which of multiple installs caused the problem.
    6) After everything is up to date, install the latest version of iTunes, then try your Nano again.
    It's not just the Nano - newer software and hardware will often fail or cause crashes or freezes if you don't keep your OS, applications, and drivers up to date.
    Good luck, and have a great holiday season.

  • Not being recognized by itunes

    I have just purchased a second Ipod and when i log on to itunes a message replys "that another user is using ipod software please have them log off." Well I have loged off every user on my computer and still can't get itunes to recognize the new ipod even though my computer does.

    Me again. After working on this several hours I have come to a couple of "solutions" I hope this applies to you as well.
    If you are using one than one user account, make sure you log off the others. I know you tried this, however I realized I was simply switching users, NOT, logging completely off. If that doesn't solve it..well I tried.
    If the computer is recognizing the ipod (or in other words it makes the little beep when you plug it in) try double clicking on the little green arrow on the bottom right of your bar that has "start" on it. Is it listing a USB Storage device, and ipod and a generic volume drive? To see if it is click on the USB device that contains your ipod and hit properties. If that is the case, then just wait 15 - 30 seconds to see if your ipod just shows up in itunes - I was getting impatient and manually disconnecting it and plugging it in again but If I had waited a few seconds longer itunes eventually would have picked it up. I hope this works though I don't understand why it works.
