I am ready to throw it away.....

Please, somebody help me: A week down the road and I am still stuck in the restore loop.... (it never worked: I set in up loaded music, disconnected it and next time I connected it, the message about corruction appeared and that's it)
The iPod is 30 GB Fifth generation.
I think Windows XP doesn't see the iPod: Diagnostics in iTunes says: "iPod Connection status -failed"
I read almost every post and article and tried:
To restart, reload software, etc.
WindowsXP see it as removable drive with 0 GB, so I can't do any formating...
I can't remove registry key: the message "can't delete" pops up.
Can anybody help? Does anydoby has the same issues?
Thanks in advance for your time!!!
Juls
iPod 30 GB   Windows XP  

Unfortunately, I can't return it. I was given it as a present. I tried to set it up back then, and it worked on the first music load only. Then due to my work (travel a LOT) a couldn't get to it. I saw new iTunes and tried to fix it. By the time I am ready to give up, I checked with Apple for the waranty and it expired 5 days ago!!!! Ha-ha-ha... I tried to talk to somebody in the services, but the girl just laughed and said that "that's just my luck and she doesn't know how to help me". That's what really convinced me that it's not worth keeping it. Their attitude...

    Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

  • STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod , Ready to throw it out the window

    I'm ready to throw this iPod out the window , I spent all day yesterday over 10 hours , trying to get videos onto my iPod , my iPod software and iTunes are up tp date , first I just drag and dropped them as MPEG no luck iTunes recognized and played them but wouldn't let me drag and drop them to the iPod then I used iSquint , it converted them to MPEG 4 , they transferd into iTunes and played but not the iPod I got an error that they weren't transferable and not recognized by the iPod .
    I called Appe this morning and they were no help since I didn't get the Vid's from the appple store and since you only get one free service call ,and wouldn't tell me the format for the videos I didn't want to waste it . They suggested I buy Quicktime Pro .
    Then I tried , Movies For My iPod . I used the transfer for iPod option , it converted them to .mp4.m4v . I drag and dropped them directly to the iPod no luck , they're there but wont play or show up in the iPod then I opened up iTunes and drag and droppped them into iTunes again played in iTunes not transfered to the iPod although it said it was updating .
    Then ,I tried the custom settings file format MP4 , video format , MPEG-4 Improved , Image Size 320 X 240 QVGA , again I tried to drag and drop them onto the iPod still not there , now I tried to drag and drop unto iTunes , again they're there and play but won't show up on the iPod . I've pretty much had it .
    In the Movies For MY iPod they're are some custom settings . File Format MP4(ISMA) In the Video there is an MPEG-4 Improved setting with a bit rate of 256 kbits/sec Image size 320x 240 QVGA frame rate 30 plus alot of other settings which I have no idea what they are .
    Today I have 6 hours of frustration into this still no luck . I'm really disappointed with Apple ,I started out with the first iMac a Bondi Blue and have been working my way up , I have an iBook , an iMac Graphite , a G4 iMac a 15G 3G iPod now the 5G iPod . Apple should have included Quick Time pro in the G5 , and only one support call, come on , even Dell gives you a year of support .
    And to top it all off the Black is beautiful but scratches easily , I'm a chef , my nails very short and allready it's scratched to bits by the wheel, I keep it in a case when I'm playing it , you can hardly touch it . I'm not very happy with Apple and this iPod , they rushed it out for the holiday , so if your in the jacksonville Florida area look for a flying iPod .

    Lets run down a list of possibilities:
    1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
    2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
    3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
    4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.

  • Found Practically new iPod Touch 5th Gen. - I'm throwing it away

    Hi,
    I've read several of these same questions: Someone finds an iSomething, can't find owner, and wants to get it out of "disabled" mode and use it.  And then they get accused of being a criminal.  I have an iPhone 6, iPad 2, iPhone 4, and my son an iPhone 5s.  I don't give an iShi* about this iPod that I've had for two months, but if I do not get an answer as to what to do, that doesn't cost me anything to return it to its rightful owner, it's going to be thrown in myTrash outside.
    Facts:
    Son found iPod Touch 5th Generation that was disabled at a party over two months ago.
    Tried to find owner, and knows the owners name
    Owner has changed his phone number, is no longer on Facebook, and his name is pronounced and spelled so weird, we (now i) can't locate him
    So, iTried this:
    Plugged into iTunes in recovery mode and wiped clean.
    Turned it on and after asking the couple of standard setup questions, says it is attached to z*******@gmail.com
    Had my son go on Facebook and ask if anyone knew how to get in touch with this guy
    Stopped at AT&T and Verizon, and asked if they knew what to do.
    They said, "I guess take to an Apple store."
    Apple store is 60+ miles aways from where I am right now, and trying to contact support is enough to make me go batsh** crazy, as I've just gone through this same process with my son trying to get his XBox 360 repaired under warranty from Microsoft, and spent four hours with four different "chat specialist" just to get a simple e-mail sent in order to print shipping label and send the thing off.
    I do not want the iPod, even if I could get it detatched from this guy.  I'm 40 years old, and don't spend all my time listening to music and Twittering and Snapchatting, and Facebooking, and everything else that is ruining the minds of every young person I know.
    So, if someone could kindly direct me DIRECTLY to the place where I can get ship this thing to Apple for free, or contact them, I will do so.  If not, I've spent enough time on trying to do the right thing, because I'm sure this careless 19 year old who was drunk at a party didn't buy the thing to start with, and his poor broke mom probably bought it for him, and like my sons, because of the very things he's lost, his attention span is like that of a moth and he doesn't care.
    Thank you, and have a nice day.
    P.S. Apple should have an address or a link built in so that if someone reaches this stage, they can instantly have the iUselessDevice returned, or get in touch with someone at Apple without going through a hundred thousand menu prompts.  If they do, please tell me where they have this available.  I've wasted 20 minutes typing this right now, and I'm angry about that.
    P.S.S. But before I throw it away, I will take a hammer and bust into ten thousand pieces just to let all this anger out.  Because if Apple gets it back and can't find the owner, they win, because they will keep it and donate it or scrap it or use it for parts or whatever the he**.  And before it reaches that stage, someone should be able to have it and use it, since the owner and Apple doesn't care.

    Turn it into the police. Apple does not help find owner of lost/stolen devices.

Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

    Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
    That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.

  • Airport Extreme Base Station - I am ready to throw this thing...

    Dear All,
    I'm about ready to throw this thing out the window, along w/ everything else from Apple I own... Sorry, at my wits-end and have finally had it with this thing.
    My g/f and I live in an apt with an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS), 10/100baseT Switch, Xbox 360, PC clone tower (PowerSpec), and two Centrino Laptops... The topology our network is the following
    DSL == Modem => AEBS => 10/100 Switch => (XBox 360, Powerspec)
    Every other day, the AEBS drops out for no obvious reason. Not only for no reason, it DROPS the connection and causes interference on our wired network. If I'm playing Call of Duty 2, for instance, and using Skype at the same time, anywhere from 10-30min later, the WiFi connection will drop altogether and the wired network will go down too.
    I've done multiple hard-resets and the issue persists. Apple wants $80 to talk to me (after we paid $150 for it because it's supposedly "the best") after only owning it for a little over a year. It seems that this problem has been persistent.
    My g/f finally cracked down and bought a Verizon EVDO card and uses it while she is out, but in the house because she cannot use our home network reliably.
    I've tried using it on WPA2, WEP, and even left it open but the thing still drops for no reason...sometimes within hours, or two two days. I'll come home, boot up my laptop, and the WiFi is completely gone...non-existant. Boot hers, same thing... I doubt it's interference because we have 1 cordless phone and it's a 900mhz, which we rarely use anyway.
    Does anyone else have any of the problem(s) we're having? This has been semi-often since we got it, and all Apple told us was "interference" and won't help us because we use PC (I used to own a Mac, hence why I got this).

    Update: Well, the AEBS 'bombed' out again when I got home on Friday, no access whatsoever.
    I unplugged my DSL modem from it, plugged it in directly to my HP notebook, and was surfing the 'net w/out a problem. Power cycled the AEBS and it worked fine. That was just over one day on firmware v5.5.1, longer than it lasted on v5.7.
    Here's my conclusion...
    I'm 'convinced' that v5.7 is buggy and it's known, or well documented. It will cost more money to fix it, or release a new firmware version that repairs the bugs from v5.7, than to just leave it alone and hope people either downgrade to v5.5.1 or purchase a new AEBS (w/ 802.11n).
    After countless hours of dealing w/ this, of which I feel like a complete and utter fool, I went out and bought a competitor's product (Linksys) and installed it on Saturday morning. As of this writing, I've had no drop-outs and the access seems to be more punctual, or responsive than when I was accessing under my AEBS. Therefore, I'm happy to say my problem of unreliable WiFi access in my apt is solved, but only after spending $50 to purchase a new router.
    I spent $180 on the AEBS and I can remember the first time I had to call AppleCare about printing issues I was having with it; I could print from Windows XP (both wired and wireless), but not from Tiger OSX 10.4. No-one had a clue, but was only told that the issue was my "printer" not the AEBS or my Mac. Despite repeated attempts to re-inform that it works just fine under Windows XP with both my Lexmark and Canon inkjets, it would not print properly (bombed out half/way through the page) under Mac OSX.
    So, here on my shelf, sits the Airport Extreme Base Station that I paid $180 for, and it is basically useless. Apple could care less about it, but then again, why should they--after all, it had a 1 year warranty and despite trying to resolve issues I had w/ it while it was in fact within the warranty period, that time has come and gone.

    I ended up having them call me then was able to give them 1 of my secret questions right and they reset things so I could reset all my secret questions.
    Try going into contact support and see if you can schedule a call. There seems to be some issues with peoples' id's and this update. iTunes thought that I'd never bought anything from my computer or device before, and I clearly had, so it's like it got confused. THen I tried to get my questions reset, but the mail never came, which is why I just got a phone call because I felt it was 'real person' time.

    OK ok I am ready to throw my S3- it drops calls constantly- sent it back, got a new one, now is doing the same thing- HELP???- I know others have had this problem , is there a permanent fix or do i switch phones?

        Hi kiz,
    I also have the Galaxy S3 and I have not experienced any issues with calls. I want you to have the same experience! As indicated by Ann154 (thank you!), the coverage in your area may have something to do with the quality of your calls. Please provide us with your ZIP code and we'll check the type of coverage in your area. We can also replace the SIM card to ensure that this issue is not SIM card related. If you have not requested a SIM card replacement yet, please follow me and send me a DM with your account number and I will follow up with you to order a SIM card replacement.

  • Linksys connection problems (ready to throw the thing out the window)

    I own a G4 powerbook OSX 10.3.9. and use a WRT54G v5 router. Everything was working fine up until a week ago. Now, I am CONSTANTLY losing my connection and because of this, I have to reboot the router every day. Even then the signal only works for a few hours. I've upgraded to the latest firmware and that hasn't helped.
    I'm at my wits end here and don't know what to do. It's so very frustrating. Can anyone make any suggestions? I'm seriously ready to throw my powerbook out the window.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    So, what happened about a week ago? There has to be something that happened to cause this trouble. Did you have a freeze/crash? Hard shutdown? Kernel panic? Did you install something other than firmware? Any security updates?
    Unless you have cleared your logs, you can look at your system logs (Console/logs/system.log and ppp logs (in Console/logs/var/log). you may find a hint as to what started occuring around the time of your troubles beginning.
    It could be a DNS problem, and the following link has an in depth discussion and fixes, regarding such:

  • Ready to throw the printer out the window!!!!!!!

    So i've been trying to update my portfolio and im ready to throw this printer out the window and probably never buy another HP product if someone cant help me fix this problem. Everytime i go to print whether its landscape or potrait it cuts the top of my photo off.  This is a new problem, its never happened before up until now.  I have spent days trying everything, ive tried printing it off my Samsung galaxy tab S.  My desktop.  i have tried resetting the printer, updated the software, troubleshooting, aligning, everything and have gone through $100 worth of ink to get nothing out of it.  I am very angry with this product.  what the hell is wrong with **bleep** thing?????? havent even owned it for a year!!!!!!

    Hello,  In the printing App that you are using, there should be an setting option to select the Paper Type and Size. Make sure you got that settings changed to the type and size of paper you are wanting to print on. I am not sure if you are  using the inbuilt app of Samsung to print or HP's ePrint & All in One Remote app . ? HP ePrint app is used for printing using.HP All in One Remote app is used for Scanning . Click HERE to access more info on this Apps.

    Hello,
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
