How to upgrade Satellite M100 to Win8?

I have downloaded W8 and tried to upgrade over Vista home premium. At the end of the installation there was an error message that Windows installation was not successful, and that the previous version of Windows was being restored.
The machine is a Satellite M100,series PSMAAA-026007, with CPU T2350.
When the Windows 8 upgrade assistant was run, part of the report was that NX was not turned on, and that setup will attempt to turn it on during installation. It is presumed that in this it was unsuccessful.
I had previously downloaded and installed the latest BIOS update for this laptop that I could find.
If the failed installation is due to not having NX because the CPU/BIOS does not support NX, is it possible to install another CPU which will.
Any advice would be appreciated.

*This problem is now solved.*
The information from the report by the Upgrade Assistant was misleading for a PC with an Intel processor.
It included Your processor does not have NX turned on or might not support NX. This was followed by Setup will attempt to turn on NX during installation. If your processor doesnt support NX, the installation will be cancelled and your PC will roll back to the current OS.
In looking into More info there is advice that NX if present is to be found in the security settings in the BIOS setup, and can be turned on there.
This information is correct, there was no NX in the BIOS location specified, the installation did fail and the PC rolled back to Vista.
However, the Intel CPUs have an equivalent to NX (which was developed by AMD), and is called XD from its name Execute Disable Bit. Although it is included in the T2350 processor of this machine, setup did not enable it, and the installation failed.
XD was not in the security section. It is, under its full name. In the Advanced section. It was found to be disabled. When changed to enabled, and the Upgrade Assistant was rerun the message about NX did not appear.
The upgrade was then made from Vista to W8 successfully.

How will i know the model of my Satellite M100 series?

just my last thought. How will i know what model am i using, it is satellite m100 series but i still dont know what specific it is...
thanks for helping

Hi Enrique
Its very simple to find it out.
At the bottom of the unit you will find the label which provides all this useful information.
You should also find the number beginning with the PSM.
This number is important to identify your notebook model for example
for driver download.

Installing Windows 7 on the Satellite M100

I have the Satellite M100-JG2 (PSMA0C-JG200E). I would like to install Windows 7. The Toshiba does not list the M100 as compatible. The Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor does point to some issues, but I do not know how easy it is to overcome them.
I read on another forum that the touchpad didn't work after the upgrade but this was solved by installing a Synaptics driver. Otherwise, I'm seeing people posting the upgrade was successful with no other info. Can anyone tell me if they have experienced success or not in attempting this upgrade, any issues they've run in to and how they've resolved them?
The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor provides the following information (I've delete personal programs):
All systems pass (I only have 1GB RAM though, so not sure if this is too little, even though it passed)
All devices pass
Programs with issues:
TOSHIBA ConfigFree version 5.90.05 (don't know if I even need this)
TOSHIBA Hardware Setup version 1.39.0.4C
TOSHIBA Supervisor Password version 1.39.0.5C
TOSHIBA Alps Pointing-device Driver version 6.0.2.186 (is this touchpad)
Client and Host Security Platform version 104.0.14.2
Any help or advice would be welcomed before I attempt this upgrade.
Thanks!

Okay, same Rory, different signon, as I had a password recovery issue. Alex, thanks for your very helpful response.
Here are my two major concerns:
1) Toshiba does not list the M100 compatible for a reason, but it does list the M300 and M500 as compatible. I do not know why the M100 is not listed.
2) The big issue I've seen in my internet search with the M100 is that the touchpad does not work after installing Windows 7. I was this resolved by one user by installing a Synaptics driver, but that is the only thing I've been able to find on the net about this.
Does anyone have any advice or experience about installing Windows 7 in the Satellite M100. I would have to wipe my only laptop, upgrade and find out I've hit a wall and have to try to go about to XP.
Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!
Rory

"Windows 7" on Satellite M100-222 - full discussion

Good day everyone! This post about "Windows 7" on "Toshiba" "Satellite" M100-222.
Maybe, this method (and like some drivers & utilities) will be successfully apply for others "Satellite" M100 models. Because some models very similar technically. For example, "Satellite" M100-221 & ect. I want to share it & discuss about. Because reliable information and practical guide about it to the Internet is virtually absent... or little information is not fully. I'm having some issues. With these issues I would like to share. Maybe, we will find correct solution together. Please, join... So...
First, update BIOS! This is necessary for "Windows 7" If your BIOS version 3.00, update it - Toshiba Satellite M100 BIOS update v5.60;
Before install "Windows 7"... I updated my BIOS (v3.00) to v5.60 - Toshiba Satellite M100 BIOS update v5.60
I did it through "Windows" XP Pro x32... Simply executable file, run it & follow steps.
Note:
Two years ago I posted question here (forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com) about my RTC. Clock in BIOS (I forget BIOS version. Original BIOS, I bought my laptop & didn't update BIOS then) was frozen. Sometimes the time indicators worked, sometimes not. Very short time. But the indicators also stood hours. Time goes in system. In BIOS frozen - 13:13:13, for example. Then I update BIOS - v3.00, hopefully that my RTC will work again. Nothing... Two yeras I worked with frozen RTC. Everyday I fixed time in BIOS manually. Seconds are frozen... Sometimes time working... But really time in BIOS was frozen. I knew that is not RTC battery problem. Physycally battery is normal. I knew this is BIOS problem. Because tests revealed it - physycally battery is normal. BIOS no error messages. Such as RTC problem... Some gave advice on the forum, and I'm not a newbie... Nothing... BIOS time was frozen...
Thinking about upgrading BIOS when faced with... "Toshiba" Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x32)... During install I receive error message - 0x8146045B
Tried install different versions of "Toshiba" Value added package. Same error... Guessed to update BIOS! Among the drivers & utilities in site "Toshiba" BIOS for "Windows 7" propose v3.00 for Satellite M100 (PSMA1E). But BIOS v5.60 shown only for "Windows" "Vista". Same platform, same kernel with "Windows 7" (theoretically)... Elementary logical approach! I downloaded & update BIOS - v5.60! Great! BIOS was successfully updated... Maybe, "Toshiba" Value added package will install correctly. I hope. I wait few seconds after shut down the system. I turn on my laptop & press F2 - looked BIOS... Unbelievable... First I saw - seconds in my BIOS clock runs again!!! Each of us felt a sense of joy! But after two years ... BIOS time worked again! So this is unbelievable! But don't be naive. There are certainly a scientific explanation. I mean BIOS update can help solve similar problems. But everything should be studied in detail! After BIOS update I installed "Toshiba" Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x32)
Then I found & download drivers & utilities. I checked it with compatibility in "Windows 7". For both platforms of "Windows 7" - x32 & x64... I'll find some utilities - "Toshiba" Touch & launch, "Toshiba" Virtual sound, DVD-RAM software, Acoustic silencer, also "ATI" Catalyst control center... These are open issue for me. But no problem, this is will easy...
Then I install "Windows 7" x64 Ultimate (I was successfully installed "Windows 7" x32 & drivers, utilities before).
Consistently install following drivers:
Intel(R) Chipset device software v9.2.0.1021 (Win7 x32 & x64);
ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 driver (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement (Download it from - http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx & extract to folder using any archivators. Then update Standard VGA drivers from this folder);
Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs vR2.57 (Win7 x32 & x64);
ALPS Electric Pointing device driver v7.x5.303.117 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Intel(R) PROSetWireless drivers v13.4.0.139 (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Texas Instruments Integrated flash media controller driver v2.0.0.8 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Bluetooth stack v8.00.02 (Win7 x32) or for (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Toshiba Registry patch for Storage config v1.0 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Registry patch for Win7 devices & printers v1.2 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba SD utilities v1.8.1.8 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Software modem v2.2.97 (SM2297ALD05) (Win7 x32) or Toshiba Software modem v2.2.97 (SM2297ALS05) (Win7 x64) - on requirement;
Toshiba Utility support driver v1.0.25.5C (Win7 x32 & x64);

Toshiba Supervisor password utility v3.0.1.0 (Win7 x32 & x64);
Toshiba Hardware setup utility v1.63.0.32C (Win7 x32 & x64).
During install & updates folllow system restart!
And please, help for next:
Everything worked fine! But yesterday I run "Toshiba" Hardware setup... and receive runtime error message! I know that "Toshiba" HW must be compatibility with BIOS! Please tell, anybody know which version "Toshiba" HW compatibility with "Toshiba" "Satellite" M100-222? Or "Satellite" M100 models?
And... problems beetwen Toshiba Value added package & Toshiba Flash cards support utility! Flash cards don't run... I uninstall both & reinstall again... Same situation... Few days ago worked fine... But not now... I don't remember, maybe change configurations in Flash cards settings... Don't remember... Help solve these problems. It is very important!
For example I looked Satellite A500 notebook - Toshiba Value added package v1.2.26.64 (Win7 x64) & Toshiba Flash cards support utility v1.63.0.4C (Win x64) complect! Maybe, Toshiba Value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x64) incompatibility with Toshiba Flash cards support utility v1.63.0.4C (Win x64)? Versions, I think...
Anybody have information about these utilities for "Windows 7" platform:
"Toshiba" Touch & launch;
"Toshiba" Virtual sound;
DVD-RAM software;
Acoustic silencer.
and "ATI" Catalyst control center... For full control "ATI" Mobility Radeon X1400 graphic adapter under "Windows 7". I can update only graphic adapter drivers. But don't know which version is compatibility with "ATI" Mobility Radeon X1400 graphic adapter under "Windows 7".
Thanks! I have very little time... Much to do! I will try to fill the drivers on file sharing or torrent. But for this I need to collect all the drivers and utilities. I must check them out. Week of rest, I set to work and share with you what I could.
Thanks again!

Dear Keany! Thanks you Im glad...
I have very little time Only this reason prevents me periodically to public any information. I wrote this post only for Toshiba Satellite M100-222. Maybe someone who need practice information about it will find & will use this practice. Because any extended information about Windows 7 on this model is very limited on Web. If youre into computer hardware you must know that theoretically requirement for each operating system! I have extensive experience in the certified computers & network technologies. But some things I prefer to share with users We learn together :-) First time my Toshiba Satellite M100-222 worked perfectly with 1 GB RAM (512 MB x 512 MB) under Windows 7 x32. Im working under Windows 7 x64 now. Also with 1 GB RAM (512 MB x 512 MB) - 533 MHz. Fine! But not great :-) Im working with multimedia converters, Microsoft Office 2010 Simply & comfortable also play FIFA 2011! You can work under Windows 7 x64 with 1 GB of RAM. But you must configure system. I dont recommend it! So good upgrade RAM to maximum capacity for my model. Ill upgrade my RAM to 4GB (2 GB x 2 GB) 667 MHz So My system rating is 3.9 now
I found the solution for some programs
I think that:
Toshiba Touch & launch theoretically old for Windows 7 also for Windows Vista. ALPS Electric Pointing device software is simply & excellent for use;
Multimedia software such as Windows Media 12, CyberLink PowerDVD 10 includes SRS WOW effects. WinAMP & Foobar have many plugins for sound enhancement. I think that Toshiba Virtual sound very scanty than these programs with integrated sound enhanced modules. Also Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs have rich sound configure tools. For undemanding users :-) But is also enough for home & office use. This problem is solved;
Toshiba Disc creator v2.1.0.4 (Win7 x32) or (x64), I use this version have DVD-RAM utility Very easy for use friendly interface Fixed;
Acoustic silencer I will find but some applications are include utilities for optical drive speed control Acoustic silences very simply & easy for use And not statistic dragon :-);
The only problem is ATI CCC Still I didnt found compatibility software version. But VGA drivers working normal. No problem The only advantage ATI CCC - this software give full control VGA (ATI Mobility Radeon X1400). ATI Stream technology and etc
Toshiba HW setup must compatibility with BIOS! I have some test results when Toshiba HW setup gives failure But I think that Ill find solution Ok, also Ill try install version for Windows Vista But we must know! Not all drivers & softwares for Windows Vista works correctly under Windows 7. Maybe they will work, but after updates will give error My own practice with some softwares
Toshiba Satellite M100-222 is excellent model Conception - all in one! And so I love my notebook! Thanks to you, Keany!
Long time I tried found I want that other user simply download & install drivers & utilities Ok and they will save time :-) We must help each other :-)
If possible, help me about ATI CCC VGA (ATI Mobility Radeon X1400) Good luck!

Satellite M100 - I can't analyse the CPU temperature

I'm an owner of Toshiba Satellite M100 series (Core Duo T2300, X1400, etc.). The problem is that I can't analyse the CPU temperature changes in such popular application like Everest or Notebook Hardware Control. Also any other software provided by Toshiba and already installed on my HDD doesn't include some CPU diagnostics including the temperature changes!
The only software which seems to be working is the HWiNFO32 so there is some thermal sensor inside which reads this temperature of Centrino Duo processor, but this software is not very user-friendly :(
There is a request for Toshiba to do something with this... I've upgraded BIOS in my model to a version 1.70 but it didn't change anything I could easily notice (or is there any?) :(

Hi
Like Mike said the BIOS update has nothing to do with the CPU temperature monitoring.
The fact is that Toshiba doesnt support any 3rd party applications.
However, all the temperature programs are not precise and dont get exactly information about the temperature. Only the programs with a physical temperature sensor will give you a exactly temperature.
I dont understand why its so important for you to know the temperature. The Toshiba notebooks support an overheating protection and if the temperature increases to the critical level so the unit shuts down automatically.

Since I upgraded my computer to Win8 I cannot Sync my Ipad

I upgraded my computer to Win8 and now cannot Sync my Ipad since it is looking for a computer name that no longer exists. How do I get to sync my iPad again? I have "authorised this computer" in iTunes but that doesn't work.

I hope these steps help.
1) Make a new user - the steps are in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199
2) Log into that user, open iTunes, agree, etc. - it will probably work
3) If it does, it tells us that iTunes (the program) is fine but it's encountering something unexpected
4) Go back to your user, and try to open iTunes while holding option and making a new library - like suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
5) Your iTunes will be empty. This is ok. Your files are not touched by this process.
6) If iTunes doesn't quit when loading an empty library, you could try rebuilding the iTunes Library as Apple documents in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
7) If iTunes does quit, it could be trying to grab something - like photo information to sync to your iPad - and that's where it finds the unexpected data. Maybe try moving the iPod Photo Cache? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1324 should guide you for how to do that.
If you tell us whether it is library-specific, user-specific, or system-wide (happens in both users), we could maybe give you better advice on what's going on.'
If the new user has the same behavior, maybe remove the SC Info folder - there are not many system-wide files iTunes touches. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389 covers how to remove that invisible folder.
iTunes uses /Applications/iTunes.app, /Users/Shared/SC Info, ~/Music/iTunes/ and ~/Library/Preferences/ and a bunch of other files. I think the most effective way to help you is knowing whether the issue is system-wide or user-specific.
I hope this helps and feel free to reply if this is all confusing.

Satellite M100-165 cannot shutdown - turns itself on after a few seconds

Hello!
I have the same or very similar problem to those described in threads:
Link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=15325]
Link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=109125]
When I try to turn off my Satellite M100-165 ("Turn Off" in Windows or even by pressing the power button while I'm in BIOS) it turns on after a few seconds. It doesn't turn on when it works on batteries. It also doesn't turn on when I press the power button for 4 seconds.
I tried to recover system with recovery CD (Windows XP Home). I also tried it with Windows Vista. Still the same.
Actually I have BIOS version 2.90 (upgraded from version 1.90 as far as i can remember) but with earlier version the problem also existed.
I think that when I had BIOS version prior to 1.90 this problem didn't existed (but I can't remember number of that version).
Thank's for all suggestions.

Hello
It is very unusual issue and, for me, there is no some simply explanation. It will be interesting to know what Toshiba experts say about this. Make a call and let us know what they say.
The strange is that the same happen with two different operating systems. I cannot say for sure why this happen but your notebook is somehow confused and obviously change shutdown with restart. If this is result of BIOS update service people should know about this.

Virtualization, XP Mode on Satellite M100

How to use virtualization processor on a my laptop (Satellite M100-150)?

Hi
As Im not mistaken the notebook has been equipped with the CORE2 DUO T7400 (2.16GHZ) CPU.
According to the intel page this CPU supports the Intel Virtualization Technology
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27256&processor=T7400&spec-codes=SL9SE,SL9SK,SLGFJ,SLGFV
If the BIOS does not contains any options to enable or to disable the VT then the VT should be enabled by default.

Satellite M100 will not turn on unless the AC adapter is pluged in

I also am having the same problem with my Satellite M100. The computer will not turn on unless the AC adapter is pluged in and switched on at the power socket.
Any ideas as to how to fix this problem? The battery should be fine.
B.

> So there is no question about the battery being dead. Battery charges fine too. So obviously the battery is fine, and so are the electrical connections to/from the battery.
Well, if you are 100% sure that this is not a battery issue, then it must be something working with power supply electronic on the motherboard.
This would mean that this is a hardware problem which cannot be fixed easily but in most cases the faulty part must be replaced.
But at first the notebook should be checked with new battery even the battery can be charged properly, it could be a battery issue too
But these are only suggestions and if you want be 100% sure what part is affected then you should get in contact with an notebook technician in order to run some diagnostic tests...

Windows 7 on Satellite M100-222

Hi, everyone!
I want to install "Windows 7" (x32) on my "Toshiba" "Satellite" M100-222 (PSMA1E).
Someone have correct instructions about it? I have display drivers (ATI Mobility Radeon x1400), sound drivers ("Realtek" high definition audio codecs), "Toshiba" Bluetooth stack v8.00.02.
I installed & checked these drivers. Everything works correctly. I didn't install other drivers. 'Cause "Windows 7" found and installed drivers during installation. Also chip set drivers.
Have problems with "Toshiba" VAP v1.2.40 (Value added package). I received error message during installation VAP. This version of VAP I downloaded from official site "Toshiba" especially for my laptop.
I looked at forum about "Satellite" L500 VAP & Flash card support utility for "Satellite" M100-221 (with BIOS v5.60). May be this method will solve problem with VAP for my "Satellite" M100-222 (BIOS v3.00). I will check it. But I want to know!
Someone use "Windows 7" on "Satellite" M100-222? Please, help solve this task.
Thanks to everyone!

I dont have this notebook model and cannot say for sure how it works with Windows 7 but what I know is that principle for Os and drivers installation is the same for all operating systems.
I have checked Toshiba download page and saw that you can download Installation order document for Vista. Use this list for drivers, tools and utilities installation.
I presume you must make mix between Vista and Win7 stuff.
Follow this list and install Win7 stuff, if available. If something is missing try to use Vista stuff. It should work.

How to upgrade First Generation Touch to use Remote for Apple TV

Hello and thanks in advance.
Can anyone tell me how to upgrade the OS for a 1st Generation iPod Touch so that it can use the Remote App from I tunes to control the Apple TV device. It needs to be the 3.1.2 version, but Apple seems to offer only 3.1 I found the 3.1.2 version on a non-apple site and attempted to download and install it but it didn't work out. (Error 14). I was expecting to control the TV with my 1G Touch and am a little disappointed with Apple that the older Touch units seemingly cannot do this. Any help appreciated.

You can buy 3.1 thru iTunes then use it to upgrade to 3.1.3.

Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?

After being tricked by the fast talking smoothy helper at Apple store in London to buy a micky mouse ipodtouch (fourth generation) two years ago I am stuck at ios 4.1 and find that all the useful applications need 4.3 or more. So I went to the trouble of letting the macbook stay open all night to load yet another micky mouse version of itunes so that I can upload the more recent version of ios and now (since I don't want to continually have a lot of rubbish on the ipod I disabled the automatic sync "feature") I can only go round in circles whereby the only real possibility left is to turn on the autosync feature. I have had messages like "your ipod will be completely erased if you proceed" and "do you wish to fiddle another few days with this nasty system, then click on continue" and so on.
Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?
That would be great (maybe) because otherwise I will toss this children's waste product on the floor and set up my HD camera to show how easy it is to smash the brightly lit screen into pieces and relieve myself of trash which Apple sell to unsuspecting gullible humans who believe that they are not being tricked by such a nice company who produce shiny colourful gadgets which only work for a month or two before becoming 100% obsolete.
Great to hear from those who have wasted many months of their lives and discovered how to trick the system into doing a simple update operation!
I am insulted by the tricks that fool many and that apple pretend are "necessary".

Illaass, your help is amazing - miles better than anyone working in this part of the world who is paid - and you do this for free - because, like me, you LOVE to help people!
BUT, as I said above -
1. There is nothing "mobile" under Application Support. For whatever reason.
2. Devious - that Apple has set up iPod to not show in Finder - a red herring and sign that corruption is visible.
I will try iFunBox next and it sounds like they provide this for the more serious users but use a trivial name to excuse further strangeness.
After
There are purchased items on the iPod that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating the iPod. Are you sure you want to continue?
I get
Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will backup and restore the apps, media, contacts, notes, and settings on your iPod touch.
Please do not interrupt the update, which may take an hour or longer to complete.
Cancel          Update
And then I wait for hours to arrive at the above mentioned
Backing up iPod   \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Stop
and then as above
An error occurred while backing up this iPod (0xE8000084). Would you like to continue to update this iPod?
Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPod.
Cancel                Continue
and so we are back to where we always land - the user is left in the Apple designed sabotage situation which annoyed me so much initially.
"Most users will give up at this point, loose all the data or buy yet another disposable from Apple. Less than 3% will work their way to this site and 90% of the 3% will leave the iPod to gather dust in the hope that someone will help later. In all, Apple gains, since people blame themselves for "mistakes" which Apple programmed to throw out users who do not take the 100% Apple path. But Illaass and myself still play the game of "trying to fix" something which Apple don't allow." was the comment which I was going to write but decided against it, adding no value to the conversation other than explaining one reality which we all hoped could be wrong but which I thought to have a very high chance of being closer to the truth.
Apologies for my doubts towards the integrity of the creators.

Recheck: Under Application Support "mobilesync" folder has appeared (MobileMeSyncClient has also appeared [while again trying to update iPod] with zero size) - Good news, a Backup file is there, but it is only 3GB while my iPod has 32GB and is close to full (800MB free space).

More Infomation    OK
So it looks like I may have lost all the important pictures documenting various items all around Europe for the last two years - luckily I moved a year ago from the iPod toy camera to a Panasonic real camera with SD card which can be read on any computer. Hence important items lost may only be older than one year rather than the most recent items.
Glad I have changed to Panasonic since they don't try to screw you when you don't use their system.
I will now check the "more information" rather than just click on "OK" since I am of the 3% who "don't accept cr*p".
For full information I quote that the iPod now shows a screen with a USB ikon, an upward arrow and an iTunes ikon (all micky mouse language which reduces transparant, clear and technical discussion and thus covers the trail of "where things went wrong").
The iPod is still attached to the computer but the above MMTALK may mean that the iPod should be attached via USB to the mac. I record much of this activity on Video to be able to later prove EXACTLY what occurred, rather than having to rely on screenshots and opinions. We are after all dealing with important items which may later be required to be shown in court, as evidence against fraudsters.
The "More Information" link leads to
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
which I have already seen before.
I clicked on OK and a help screen (unnamed as ever because no one like myself demanded that the help screens be named for later discussion) arrived:
You can help Apple improve its products a
while copying this into this message the computer began to start up Final Cut Pro and this was cancelled, then iTunes came up with a message:
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
ok
And I presume the earlier message about helping Apple is gone because I keep getting interrupted by this message called
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
ok
it has appeared now at least six times interferring with anything else I do. Each time I try to write, this message appears and blocks, but only when I write. I tried to do a carriage return and the message appeared taking the carriage return as acceptance of the OK in the
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
ok
Message. But since I have not removed the USB and keep returning to this message I am able to write for a few seconds (now 30 seconds or more) and the message remains on the screen but not blocking this conversation. It appears to be random but in fact as you can later see from the video, it is not reappearing each periodic number of seconds but as I reach a new comment.
I will try to close iTunes so that this can be stopped (I clicked on OK and it appeared another few times, each time I clicked on ok and now it has left me in peace to write here although iTunes is still not yet closed).
Difficult to log down all the strange behaviour but I think you can get the gist of what is going on.

Should I remove the iPod and stop iTunes? I have a nasty feeling turning to indifference since I have video footage which will verify all the above in a court of law if later required. The truth must always win over any devious attempts at forcing people to do things they don't want to ;-)
