Sounds like there may be a problem with your install ..
perhaps you have two
different play version on your PC (eg you've installed a
newer version, but
old one didn't fully uninstall itself).
One possible solution (if that is the case) is to run the
uninstall utility
from Adobe, then search your harddrive for any files matching
*flash*.ocx ..
and if they are actually flash players (look at properties
version info tab
to ensure they are macromedia/adobe flash player ocx's -
don't want to kill
something to do with flash memory (say)) then delete them.
Also kill off
the c:\windows\system\macromed\flash folder .. so then you
have no flash
player ocx left. Then go to the Adobe web site and
re-download/install the
latest Flash Player. NOTE: if you do this, be very careful
you only delete
things that can safely be deleted without causing problems
elsewhere.

  • Ipod syncing problems...?

    Im having several ipod syncing problems. I have an Ipod touch, 4th gen with the standard USB cable that comes with to charge it and sync it with. Today, i plugged it into my computer like normal to sync some new songs onto it from itunes. But, it started acting up. First, it kept syncing on and off, and the sync sound wouldnt stop- it wouldnt stay synced. then, later, when it finally did, not long after it said "this device does not support charging," and itunes didnt recognize my ipod anymore, so i couldnt sync my songs. is there any way i can fix this? thanks in advance.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I recently bought some new albums and can't play them on my ipod

    I just encountered the same problem on my 2 month old MBPro.  I found a work around by changing USB ports.  As for the actual cause or the reason why that worked, I dont know.  The USB port I was using works fine with my phone or other USB devices.

  • IPOD detected by Windows but NOT iTunes – possible solution

    I have a new 30GB Video IPOD with an AMD PC running Windows XP SP2 and like many others posting on this site, my iTunes stopped recognizing my IPOD. ITunes did work correctly immediately after my initial software installation and I was able to sync some music, but it failed thereafter and I was unable to add any more files. Like many other users, I tried all suggested fixes including the 5R’s, uninstalling and re-installing the software, changing selective start-up items using “MSCONFIG”, etc. Nothing worked – until I tried the following…
    1) Uninstall iTunes & IPOD updater software using Windows Add/Remove Software tool in the Start/Settings menu
    2) Reboot Windows
    3) Connect IPOD to USB port (Windows should detect the IPOD)
    4) Run the original IPOD CD installation disk, load the IPOD Updater software (but not iTunes …yet)
    5) The IPOD Updater software loads first, so when prompted to load iTunes, wait (you may minimize the window), go into the IPOD Updater software (Start/Programs menu) and open the IPOD Updater window by clicking on the icon. If your system works like mine, the IPOD should now be recognized and the “RESTORE” button should now be available. Don’t click the “RESTORE” button – just leave this window open (minimize the window if you wish) and go back to the iTunes install window.
    6) Continue with the installation of the iTunes software.
    7) Once installed try opening the iTunes program to see if IPOD is detected (at this point it still didn’t work for me)
    8) With the IPOD still connected, and the IPOD updater window still open, go to Add/Remove Software (Start/Settings) and click on “remove” iTunes – you’ll be prompted to “Repair” or “Remove”. Choose REPAIR. Once this process is complete, try opening iTunes again – at this point my computer now recognized the IPOD

    i could do everything fine up until step 6), the installation of itunes. when i tried to, with the ipod updater window still open, it said it could not continue without closing the updater program. any suggestions?

  • [iPod 5G] Problems with Windows' iTunes keeping it synced.

    I've been struggling to get my iPod 5G working on my windows computer. This is what happens EVERY time:
    - I connect my iPod, it gives me "Cannot read the content of the iPod XXX...."
    - I Restore my iPod (have also formatted it completely several times).
    - the iPod shows up in iTunes and it syncs.
    - I take the iPod out and i reconnect and it starts all over again and i get: "Cannot read the content of the iPod..."
    Connecting the iPod to my MacBook will make it appear in iTunes and I'll be able to see the music and update it.
    Things i've tried (in semi-random order, except for the last one):
    - Updated the iPod (1.2.1)
    - Restored the iPod about 10x
    - Different USB port and different iPod connection cable
    - Erased the iPod (3x): using Windows' format tool 1x and the Disk Utility in OS X 2x.
    - Uninstalled iTunes, Reinstalled.
    - Fresh install of Windows XP.
    Could this be an iPod related problem? (it seems to work fine on my Mac)
    Could this be an iTunes 7 related problem?
    The iPod is brand-new, i got it after my old one had gotten a white screen that wouldn't go away. Could it be a faulty iPod they gave me?
    P.S. Please don't suggest to 'just sync it with your mac' because it should work with the Windows computer that holds all my music.

    hi chris
    the difference is:
    at home i've started it and it has been running 12 hrs without touching it
    outside i've used it while running through the park five times, so i started and stopped it five times without touching it otherwise (didn't change songs)
    do these five times starting/stopping waste 8,5 hrs battery runtime?

  • Itunes keeps closing as soon as i open it and states 'windows has detected a problem' HELP!!!!

    Help!! Itunes keeps closing straight away and message states 'windows has detected a problem' HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • I use windows and i got my hard disk replaced now when i try to sync wirelessly my ipod detects my computed as being a different one how can i make it forget the old one?

    i use windows and i got my hard disk replaced now when i try to sync wirelessly my ipod detects my computed as being a different one how can i make it forget the old one?

    You will have to sync it to the new one, erasing the current content from the ipod and replacing it with the content from the new drive.
    Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy of your computer back to the new drive first.

  • Satellite A500-1C0 - Windows has detected a problem with HDD

    Good day,
    Notebook shows me that Windows has detected a problem with HDD. The notebook is slow and the chops. And when you turn it shows me Smart Failure predicted on hard disk 1. Toshiba MK 5055GSX - (S2). Can you help me? (Im CZ)

    Hi Konyga,
    If you already get a warning about internal HDD before Windows starts I would recommend exchanging it and backup all data as fast as possible.
    Is your notebook still under warranty?
    If yes you can get a new HDD from an authorized service provider. This would be for free because its covered by warranty. Everything what you have to do is contacting an ASP.

  • 5g Ipod.  Problem with Firmware 1.2.1

    Like many out there, I upgraded my iTunes software to ver. 7 and subsequently the iPod firmware to ver. 1.2.1. This resulted in the iPod "freezing" problem many others have reported. I've gone through the exercise (twice) of uninstalling iTunes 7, installing the version of iTunes on my installation disk (I believe it's earlier than 6.0.5) and then installing firmware provided in Updater 2006-6-28 (1.1.2). Problem is that iTunes doesn't recognize anything in my music or video library and the only way (so far) to solve this is to upgrade back to Itunes 7.0.2 but not to upgrade to firmware 1.2.1. My iPod now works but when I sync to iTunes, many of the videos (TV shows) I've purchased won't transfer to my iPod. The reason given is that my iPod software is too old. This has also occured with any new video purchase.
    Has anyone experienced something similar and is there a solution to this problem.

    I am having this problem as well. It was irritating me so bad that i just reverted to 1.0 since i don't have any other version availible because itunes doesn't save the updates. I tried all of the 5"R"s and it still locked up as soon as i booted my iPod up.

  • Using my Windows iPod on a Mac

    I own a windows-formatted 30GB iPod Photo (4th gen ipod).
    The ipod itself works without any problems. If I attach it to my Windows machine, the iPod is recognized by itunes and syncs my library without problems.
    I want to start syncing the ipod with my mac instead of my windows machine. Everything I have read claims one of the following:
    1) A Mac can use a Windows formatted ipod without problems
    2) The ipod needs to be reformatted for the Mac.
    I am fine with either of these. I have the music backed up on an external hard drive and don't need to use the ipod with windows anymore, so reformatting the ipod for mac would not be a problem for me if necessary.
    The problem is that when I attach the iPod to my Mac (a macbook air running Leopard), iTunes does not give any indication that it sees the ipod. The ipod itself displays "do not disconnect" on the screen and seems to be charging as it should be; I am confident that the USB port and cable are fine. However, iTunes does not list the ipod as a device or give any indication that it is connected.
    In order to reformat it for the mac, I need to use Restore functionality within iTunes (right?), but I can't do that if itunes doesn't list my ipod. What do I do?

    Wow! That is crazy. I've been using a Windows formatted iPod on my Mac for many years without a problem. But just recently, I have the same problem as the original poster. Sometimes I connect my iPod to my Mac and it does not mount. Rather, the iPod acts as if I plugged it into a wall powered USB cable. It charges, but does not mount. No sign of the iPod on the Mac. If I unplug it and try again (and maybe a 3rd time), the iPod finally mounts.
    Is this a sign that my iPod is dying? I hope not, because it is a 160 gig version and I love having that much space.

  • HT204406 I let my match subscription go because I was having a lot of problems with it. I re-subscribed and it reset all my database of music back to when I last had match. How do I fix this?

    I ended up letting my itunes match subscription go because I was having a lot of problems with it. I was getting a lot of music where it would play the censored version instead of explicit like I have. After attempting numerous times to fix I gave up and let match expire. I had updated my library by downloading a number of AAC versions from itunes and then manually deleted all of them and added the proper files back by re-ripping my CD's again. I also added a bunch of new music and because I use a rating system, re organized all my music and rated some stuff with new ratings and higher star ratings.
    About 3 months passed and I decided to give match another try. After getting it, I found it odd that my database was put there in virtually no time. Not only that, a significant amount of music I deleted (but was in the old match subscription) showed up. I knew it was broken at that point, but today, I was listening to music and items which I know have been updated and changed, have also reverted back to old settings. Is there a way to fix this?
    Also, I'm REALLY annoyed with match again. After all my work, I STILL have censored music as my match music. It is really annoying to have different music on my computer than what is in the cloud (not to mention the music which will not upload to the cloud and just constantly says "waiting"!!)

    Yeah, and it didn't work.
    I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one.
