HT204302 My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this?

My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

If you have set up VNC on that computer and it's still working, use that. If not, use the Deauthorize All function.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How to determine the correct moment when Word has finished to write to a docx file

Hello,
we are currently passing a document to Microsoft Word for editing and want to take back the changed/saved document when editing is finished. But it seems we have issues to determine the correct moment when Word has for sure saved all changes and
it is save to take back the file.
To pass the document to Word we use ShellExecuteEx with the file name. Then we use the Running Objects Table and a File Moniker to wait for the file to be closed.
Sample code:
HRESULT hRes = S_OK;
CComPtr<IMoniker> spIMoniker;
CComPtr<IRunningObjectTable> pRT;
hRes = GetRunningObjectTable(0, &pRT);
if (FAILED(hRes))
TWTHROW1(TWERR_ANY_ERROR, hRes, _T("GetRunningObjectTable failed."));
hRes = ::CreateFileMoniker(m_strTempFilename.AllocSysString(), &spIMoniker);
if (FAILED(hRes))
TWTHROW1(TWERR_ANY_ERROR, hRes, _T("CreateFileMoniker failed."));
while (S_OK == pRT->IsRunning(spIMoniker) && !m_bShutdown)
Sleep(500);
continue;
So we wait for the file to be removed from the Running Objects Table and additionally wait until we can get exclusive access to the file before we take over the changed file. But still it seems to happen that we take the file too early. Hence it
seems the file is removed from the Running Objects Table by Microsoft Word before saving the file has completed.
Is this behaviour of Microsoft Word by design? What is the best practice to identify the moment in time when writing the file has completed. Some other applications like Winzip seem to do the same thing.
Thanks,
Wolfgang

Why does my phone continue to switch contacts when it has died and been charged

URGENT !
In need of some help,
For the past 3 weeks whenever my phone dies and has been recharged, some of my contacts and my little sisters contacts are combined.. From my knowledge, she has never plugged in her Ipod into my computer. She has only used my Apple Id for a short period of time.. Anyone know the reason why my phone is doing this? Do i need a new SIM card? How do i fix this?
Any help is much appreciated
Thank you,
vjames

SIM card is irrelevant because iPhones have never stored anything on the SIM card.
Verify that your sister does not have your Apple ID signed in on her device, easiest way to do this, change your password.

How do u reboot the computer when the control pad doesnt work

how do u reboot the macbook pro when the control pad doesnt work??? and does anyone know how to get the control pad to work i cant move the cursor??

By "control pad" do you mean "trackpad?" If the trackpad has stopped working then press the Power button and hold it down for 5-10 seconds. This will shutdown the computer. Insert the installer disc then restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the "C" key until the computer starts up and you see the spinning gear. Then:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

How do I add a computer when the ip and dns address do not match?

I am using ARD to connect to a few computers at a remote site. The site has a Static IP, as well as each machine on the local network. One of the machines works fine (a Mac Mini running ARD 3.6), but that was set up a while ago, and any other machines (running ARD 3.6.2) I try to add will not work.
Basically, I want to add a machine with an IP address of the location (ex. 50.50.120.181), and the DNS name of the computer on the local network (ex. 192-168-1-21.lightspeed.stlsmo.sbcglobal.net). This is how the Mac Mini is set up and works. However, every time I try to change the DNS name, it changes the IP address to match (192.168.1.21). Since I'm connecting remotely, that doesn't work. If I try to change back the IP address, it just reverts it right back.
How do I get ARD to stick with the IP address I tell it to??

Open System Preferences
Click on Accounts
Click on the padlock and enter password
Click on login options
There you should see an option to disable "automatic login". You should also notice some other options there that you may or may not want. They should be pretty self explanatory.
The Security panel has an option to require password after sleep or the screen saver is invoked if you need it.

How can I deactivate a computer when i do not have it anymore?

Hi, I have used all of the 5 computers that I can authorize for my ipod and all of those computers have since died. Is there a way to deauthorize a computer without having the actual computer to do it from?
I do not want to delete all of them because my ipad is connected to my account (that is the only one that I still have), but I want to transfer all of the music from my ipod to my itunes account so I can put on my new iphone.
Thanks!

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

How can I authorise my computer when the email address no longer exists

Yesterday, due to software problems I had to have my computer wiped. I reinstalled iTunes and loaded all my music, films etc back on (these are kept on a hard drive) with no problems. I now have about 120 songs/videos that will not play as they were purchased with an email address that no longer exists. iTunes keeps asking me to authorise my computer but I do not know the password. Is there any way I can get these purchases back? Not techy at all, please help, I've been at this all day!!!

You will need to call Apple at 800-275-2273 and ask for the Account security department. They will have you sign into the My Apple ID site at id.apple.com using the Manage Apple ID button and generate a temporary support pin. It can be found in the lower left corner of the Password and Security section once you log in.
Once you give them the support pin, they will ask for one other piece of information from the account in order to verify that you own it. This can either be one of the current security questions, the credit card linked to the account, a device serial number, or a device verification code that they can send you.
Good luck!
