Help with iPod installation...

I have an ipod 30g video. I have an iMac G5, all is well. Recently, I had my iMac's hard drive and logic board replaced. Just got it back today.
I have heard from other people, when they got a new computer, the second the hooked the ipod up to it, it erased everything on the iPod. Will this happen? I put in the install disc, and am going to do a software update via apple. But will everything be okay when I hook it up?
Thanks,
Jordan

If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need to take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys, (on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
If you want to copy the songs from your iPod back to your computer there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you are happy with.

Help with TRex Installation

Hi, I am trying to install TRex (6.1.09.00) on my local portal (Netweaver 04 (640) - Stack 12) and during the 2nd last step of the installation I get the following message:
"error starting web server" and then the installation fails. When I checked the log, I got the following error message:
"The system cannot find the file specified.)in execution of a 'CreateProcess' function, line (278), with parameter (C:\usr\sap\Python
python.exe C:\usr\sap\trex_02/CCMS/install_config.py)".
I tried installing a couple of times and I always got the same error messages. Can anyone please help me? Thanks a lot for your valuable time.
Sincerely,
Sri

Hi,
When once Trex installation is failed, subsequent tries will also get the same error. My advice woudl be to uninstall the trex, delete all the sap_inst dir contents and delete the trex website after uninstallation. Go ahead with fresh installation. But the specify the new trex instance suppose previously you have specified 00, now specify 02 or 03 etc.
Never install Trex on same server on which portal is installed. It slow down your portal performance.
As well you need to satisfy the pre-requisites specified in installation directory.

Need some help with OS installation on Equium L10-300

Hello,
I am basically trying to do something really simple. But thanks to me being unfortunate enough to actually of bought such a diabolically bad computer, I know am on a forum trying to solve a jokishly simplistic problem.
When I try to format my computer, I am not being allowed, the Equim requests I insert some specific CD.
When I try to re-install windows it also tells me I need a certain CD.
I rang up Toshiba last year when I initially needed to format, they told me that its a lock, and that I have to pay money to get a new CD. I cant even explain how horribly messed up that is. How can a huge company get away with obstructing my human rights?
As a computer owner I should obtain the right to use any operating system I please.
Having some fascists dictate what OS I use is totally ridiculous and go's against what my basic rights. Its absolutely sickening
I need to know how to bypass this stupid system lock. Its totally illegal.
Someone please tell me how I can fix this horrible problem.

I understand you very well but let us write about all this.
Generally speaking every Toshiba notebook is delivered with preinstalled operating system. According your notebook specification your Equium L10-300 (PSL17E-XXXXX) is originally delivered with Windows XP Home (factory settings) and specification says this notebook model is delivered with recovery CD and Tools & Utilities Medias. I don't know if you got them or not.
Anyway when you bought your notebook you have already paid one license for preinstalled operating system. Of course nobody force you to use exact this recovery image (factory settings) and you can install your own operating system. Nothing is blocked or locked and because of that Toshiba offers drivers, tools and utilities on official support page. That means you can, for example, install WXP Professional on your notebook. WXP is supported and all necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads.
Please check this page. Just choose your notebook model and you will see all WXP drivers, tools and utilities are there. Toshiba has also offered Installations Instructions document (the first one on the list) to help you with WXP installation. If you want to have own and clean preinstalled WXP just follow this installations order.
I believe this is good argument for you to see that nothing is locked. If you want to have factory settings again you need to install operating system using Toshiba recovery CD. If you don't have one you must order it. BUT you must not do this. Just install operating system using Microsoft installations CD/DVD.
You can try to install Windows2000, Linux whatever you want. There is just one question: where to find all necessary drivers. For your notebook model Toshiba supports WXP and Vista only.
So can you please tell me which installations CDs you have and which OS you want to install?

Help with Ipod mini

I'm having a problem with my mini. It turns it self on, and then right back off constantly, until the batteries run out. when i hook it up to the computer, it recharges, and then goes back to the on/off cycle. the computer won't recognize it. All i see is the apple logo clicking on then off then on etc...
I've tried resetting it, but it just goes back to the on/off cycle.
Please help!

iPod Doesn’t Appear on OS X Desktop or in iTunes
I hope this helps!
The other option is to just kinda let it run itself out of battery, then see how it's doing.

Help with ipod classic 80gb 2nd new ipod not working

I need some help with my ipod, this is the second ipod I have had in the same number of weeks the first one worked fine for about 8 days and then when syncing one night it froze and then would not disconnect, I searched the support section and worked how to reset the ipod which | did many times, in the end I restored the ipod to the factory settings and synced again the end result of this was that the ipod would not turn on despite everything that I tried. The apple log would appear and the ipod would then try desperatley to switch itself on with the apple logo appearing and disappering all the time. Apple have replaced the ipod and I have fully charged the new ipod synced it this evening all was ok, the ipod synced and then told me to disconnect and the same thing is happening again I have tried to reset multiple times and all that happens now is the apple logo appears and disappers it will not switch on or off, itunes keeps telling me that it cannot recognise the ipod at this time and the safely remove section on my task bar on my computer is telling me that the ipod has malfunctioned. can anyone help? am I doing something wrong someone suggested that I should have downloaded itunes once I had my ipod and not before, I have about 20GB of music in itunes and I was not aware that you needed to use or own an ipod to use this music storage system
HELP
Thanks in anticipation

well it looks like you might have a tech issue here; try to return the ipod and choose a different store and buy one ... also try to uninstall itunes totally, back up your songs on a CD or DVD, and then re-install a fresh new copy of itunes ... this might work ... good luck!

Tecra R840 - Need help with SSD installation

Hello,
sorry again, but I really need some help with this?
My new ssd (arriving in a couple of days) is a Plextor M5P which is 7mm thick! My Tecra R840-16J have a 9.5 mm thick hdd and for what I saw there is no caddy!
I would appreciate all the tips to install the ssd in my Tecra!
Thanks for you time,
paulo

Hello Paulo
As far as I know some models are offered with HDD and some with SSD these models offered with SSD have small SSD holder. SSD is fixed with 4 screws into this holder.
I really dont know how to help you now. Maybe you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. I think they can check part number of this holder or maybe order one for you.

IPod Service Error with iPod installer 2006-06-28

I previously had a Mini but lost it (stolen). I bought a Nano to replace it but could never get it to work. I returned this and purchased a new 30g iPod. Same issues. I get the error message "iPod Service Error" when I open the 2006-06-28 iPod Software Updater. I even get this message whether I have my iPod connected or not. In iTunes, I get the message "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
Well, I've reinstalled iTunes countless times and reinstalled the updater a equal number of times with no luck. I tried all the steps (including links) in:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
I also used msconfig with no luck. I disabled my Norton internet security and antivirus software with no success. I disabled the Fast User Switching and followed someone's advice regarding FAT32, but again no luck.
I tried to read through all the latest discussions and articles I could find, but am now getting confused. Is there anyone out there who has been able to tackle this problem? My alternative is returning my iPod and giving up on iTunes. Help me please!! Thanks.

Thanks for your response and sorry for the delay. I've been traveling. Yes, I did try making another XP user account and got the same results. I have not tried the installer cleanup. What do I do with this utility? I read the instructions from MS, but not sure if I should just highlight the iTunes, iPod, and QuickTime stuff on my PC. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Help with iPod service error

Greetings,
I had an issue where my Nano's battery got very low to the point that it was not recognized by my computer. I borrowed an AC charger and got it to charge and work fine but still not be recognized by my computer. I followed the instructions for downloading the HP USB formatter and when I tried to restore using updater 6/28 I get a service error and cannot restore. I tried turning off the fast switch option (which waas on in the past when the computer used to see the ipod in itunes) and then I tried removing itunes and reinstalling it and I get the same error message. It seems to me that the helper files that look for the ipod are missing. The iPod will respond to being reset and the computer recognizes it, but I cannot restore it. Is there a way to restore it without using the latest updater? Any help greatly appreciated.

the ipod-service/software-required error messages are typically caused by snarlups on the PC side of things.
the theory behind the registry entries version of this is a little sketchy. i've only encountered about ... ten at the outside? ... confirmed cases of this since Christmas. possibly it's associated with not running installations as an administrator, possibly with running the installs inside a different user account than itunes has already been installed in, possibly with security software interfering with registry changes during the install process.
if you do run into troubles with key editing, ProgMan and hutch's threads might be of some help:

Need help with ipod itunes syncing problem just occured

i restored my computer to factory settings and when i did that i lost my itunes and when i reinstalled it and tried to sync my ipod to the new installation of itunes it said that my ipod is synced with another itunes and that to sync it wiht this itunes it would delete and replace all data on my ipod with data from my itunes which is nuthing please help i dont wanna lose all my songs and apps an all that

You should have created a backup of your Itunes library before your computer restore to factory setting so that you can copy them to your new iTunes.
Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software to copy over. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:
