Help: Not formatted property error
My shuffle was working perfectly until one day I got an error stating: The iPod "data" cannot be used with iTunes because it is not formatted properly.
It directed me to restore, but this was unsuccessful. Immediately after the restore process, I got the same error.
I downloaded the iPod Reset Utility, but it too was unsuccessful, giving me an error that it could not mount the iPod.
At this point, the iPod has nothing on it and cannot connect to a computer to sync.
Help. Any ideas? Thanks.
Shuffle (2nd generation) Windows XP Pro
The iPod "data" cannot be used with iTunes because it is not formatted properly.
i'm suspecting here that "data" is not the correct name for your ipod.
if that's the case, check to see if you're getting a Windows drive letter confusion on the PC. see:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
(thinking here that iTunes is seeing a hard drive rather than your ipod, which is why it doesn't think it is properly formatted ... especially likely if it's an NTFS hard drive.)

File not formatted correctly error
Dear All,
when am trying to import a contract file as excel sheet, not CVs file, i get the error ( File not formatted correctly ). any advice?the issue with date formatting would be corrected in Excel. When an export file that includes dates is opened in Excel, they get reformatted by the Excel program. In my experience, I have had to reformat those cells in Excel to the YYYY-MM-DD format and save the Excel file before I could import again into CM. But, if you are just exporting and then importing without opening the file in Excel, then the dates are not the problem. What are you exporting from CM? Are you trying to import into a different project or database than you exported from?

Edited by: Lucy Discover on Jul 7, 2011 1:05 PMYour syntax is wrong - look at the post above where this syntax is given:
to_char (add_months(r.formdate,12), 'MM/DD/YYYY') "formdate2"Look at the formula from a logical perspective - "inside out" to read what is happening -
take formdate, add 12 months
add_months(r.formdate, 12)then apply the to_char format mask - basic syntax
to_char(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY')Compare to your syntax:
to_char(add_months(r.formdate, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),12) "formdate2"You will see your format string inside the call to add_months, and your 12 inside the call to to_char.
Good luck! -
I forgot the code for my iPhone to access the Home screen I do , please help me
try formatting the iphone but when I put in nfc mode and connect it to the pc recognizes it and everything when you try to format the error 3004 appearsHello polo-angulo,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the nature and scope of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that you are getting an error code (3004) when you try to restore your iPhone (because you could not remember your passcode), you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

Search Help error : Invalid field format Screen error
Hi All,
I have attached a search help to contract field for contract no and item number. (in my own screen developed in a report)
The search help picks up data and assigns it to the fields,
But after this when I click on any other button, I get error saying :
<b>Invalid Field Format (Screen Error) !!!</b>
Any pointers guys !!!
Warm Regards,
Girishscreen checks in abapautomatically checks for format of field when u enter data....i.e date, integer etc...the problem in this case is that when u seelct a value using the help it is filling a value which is not the correct format...so check for the data types and test it again...this is definitely the problem.

After years of playing Snood, w/o problems, I started getting this error message, on my iMac, OS 10.5.8,
with 4 GB of memory when opening Snood: Not enough memory {Error # :: 0, in sound.cp@line 101
My MacBook Pro w. Mac OS 10.6.8 did not have this problem.
Initially I thought that Snood raised its minimum requirement to Mac OS 10.6.
I had several correspondences with Snood. Their tech support is great. Quick and thorough responses.
They thought the issue was in Mac's system preferences/ Sound. It was.
I didn't realize that my sound input and output devices were gone.
The fix was resetting the PRAM. I found this advice on MacFixIt.com.
MacFixIt help with volume: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10415659-263.html
Resetting the PRAM is on Apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
My sound (music!) is back, along with Snood. So glad I reset the PRAM before reinstalling the OS software!
Thank you to Snood, MacFixIt and Apple.
Happy new year all!Good work, nice post/tip, thanks!

OK, spent about 25 frustrating hours so far this weekend doing everything recommended on numerous threads here -- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and all Apple items. Help?
I am using Windows Vista home premium. After the last iTunes update to 12, it suddenly would not work. I followed, to a T, all instructions to uninstall all Apples software, in the correct order, reboot, download the latest iTunes, run as administrator, plug in the iPhone 5S, let the driver install, and then finish.
Along the way, I received the error that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I am the administrator and have privileges. (I previously followed instructions from anther thread to change the read-only privileges for Apple folders, but to no avail. I also deleted every file with the word Apple in it after I uninstalled everything.) I did a retry and then an ignore during installation of the AMD error, which I have received 10 times.
The other error I keep getting is: "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7." I have done that 20 times.
Other frequent error: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)."
I followed other threads suggestions to install Windows .NET versions 3.5 and 4.0. No help. I also looked for various specific Apple files in various folders for DLLs, etc. Not present. I have rebooted 50 times and tried different users on my home account as well. Nothing.
I also followed instructions to Manage my computer under "services." Under Apple Mobile Device, the setting is for "automatic." When I try to get it to "start," the error I receive is "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." (I followed previous thread instructions to use the CMD prompt to stop it. That caused problems because the status was then "stopped," but I was able to restart it later once I figured that out -- but with the 1053 error again.)
I think I've tried every suggestion in every thread for the four errors I keep getting (AMD failed to start; iTunesHelper Error 7; Windows error 998; and AMD Error 1053.) I am fresh out of ideas and very frustrated. I mostly want to make sure I don't lose my music and photos, which I was about to sync.
The only other thing I see that is strange on my computer (which I discovered along the way) is that I cannot receive automatic windows updates and have not had an update since 2012. My iTunes worked a month ago, so that was obviously not a show-stopper in the past, but perhaps there is a Vista update I need for iTunes 12? I have service pack 2 for Vista. I have followed all threads to try to set my windows to automatic update, but no joy there either. It checks for updates and then fails. I followed instructions and did run an installation to install windows automatic updates, but that doesn't work either. I tried 10 times. It runs and takes a while, but is never able to successfully update windows. It says "checking for updates" for a while. Then it dies. My last update was 6/19/12 (failed) and it says the most recent check was 6/22/12, but I have tried 20 times on 10/31/14 and 11/1/14.
When asked to "Install new Windows Update software" to check for updates, I have done so 10 times. It downloads and installs, but never works.
It's an old Dell desktop computer from 2006, and I'm using an iPhone 5S. I am fresh out of ideas. Anyone really smart here?
Thanks.
TristanUpon latest reboot, I also received this error message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application."
Then I got the iTunesHelper not installed correctly error again.
Then the "Windows can't check for updates" error message.
Then "Apple Push has stopped working." Then a quick DEP error message that disappeared but said something about Apple Push being closed.
I'm also getting denials of service logged by McAffee. Not sure if I'm getting a virus/attack or not.
Not sure if it's a problem with my old desktop machine, my Windows Vista updates, or iTunes, but I'm very frustrated and out of ideas to try.
Thank you for your help!

Apparently I am not the only person having this problem as I have seen many threads about it. If ANYONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME, I WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT.
I try and run my backup as I always have, but it HAS NEVER COMPLETED SINCE I UPGRADED TO LION. As many mentions, I updated from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 hoping that would fix my issue and it didn't help at all. I also unistalled WD SmartWare to no avail. It's really starting to annoy me since I have as much money invested in my MacBook Pro and Time Capsule as I do in my car....
I have more than enough space on the Time Capsule, but Time Machine is still failing and coming up with an error message: MacBook Pro.sparsebundle could not be assessed (error - 1).
Someone, anyone, please help!. . . sparse bundle could not be accessed (error -1)

i-tunes could not be used because the original file could not be found.could not locate.this error occurs on most of my songs in my library and will not play even though they are in my i-pod and play with no trouble.can anyone please help?
I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process. -
i have tried to reinstall itunes because it is saying i cant use my itunes due to an error 7, itunes helper not installed correctly, please reinstall, i have tried several times but still not allowing me to use, ive never had this problem before in all the years i have used itunes, i have gone through all the troubleshooting but still no access, can you help
Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.) -
