I FINALLY GOT MY 160GB CLASSIC TO WORK

This may work for everyone as well. So try it. I got my mine to work and my friends.
*plug in your 160GB
(yes...it will freeze your itunes but that is okay).
*Now if you have windows go to My Computer.
*You need to be able to see all your drives (especially your IPod - which should be there).
*Now open your music folder (I have music that I have downloaded from Itunes and music that I have gotten from CDs that I still use with windows media player...you want one of those.
*drag any album randomly onto your IPod.
*It should start syncing. drag another album onto it if you need to. I had to do about 2 or three times.
*your IPod should now show up on Itunes and unfreeze the system and function normally.
Once you have done this. Go back to your ipod in My Computer and delete those albums that you have previously draged in.
Start syncing normally.
It should work. Unless I was just lucky with two Ipods.

Or they may have just corrected it. But give this a try if you can't get your Ipod to work by just normally connecting the IPod.
good luck

I finally got the TV@nywhere master working

After installing winamp 5 and this plugin:
http://winamptv.zapto.org/
I didn't install MSIPVS.
I finally got my TV@nywhere master working under XP SP1.
I've got all the channels and a good video and sound quality.
I didn't install the new drivers, the ones I got with the card are working fine.
I hope anyone can solve their problems the same way...
TVANYWHERE is real fun, now it works....

I have that plugin and it works wonderfully. Although you cannot actually record television from it and thats one big loss. I'm still having trouble with mine blue screaning when shutting down, restarting, hibernating or standby. [ see this threadand help me! ]. I use the card to do a lot of recording and tis just annoying now.

I am using Tiger, 10.4.11, and have an iPod classic 120gb working fine. Just got a 160gb classic and would like to sync it to same i-Tunes file. It said "must have iTunes 9.0 or later to sync." If upgrade i-Tunes to 9.0.2, will my 120gb iPod sync o.k?

I am using Tiger, 10.4.11 and have an iPod classic 120 gb working fine with about 7 gb of music on it. I just got another iPod classic 160 gb for my wife, and would like to sync it to the same iTunes file, but I got a message which says I must upgrade to iTunes 9.0 or later. If I upgrade to 9.0, will my 120 gb iPod be o.k. with that? Rumor: I have heard that iTunes 9.0 or later changes the format of the music.

Thanks to all for reviewing my question. I am trying to avoid a possible disaster here, having to load about 90 cd's all over again. If anyone knows, could you tell me what will happen if I download iTunes 9.0, and install it. Will it copy all of my music into it, or fail to recognize it, or recognize 8.0 and just upgrade rather than replace it? Thanks again. Tom

160gb classic, only working when attached to mains power outlet

In last 24 hrs my classic has decided to only switch on when plugged into mains outlet. Screen flickers when attached to laptop, had to restart computer to get it to switch on and sync. I have tried restoring to factorysettings before synching tunes back to it. Anyone out there who to can resolve this before I have to pay for repairs?

Take it to somebody with more experience fixing iPods.

HT203167 I finally got the update of IPHOTO 11 to download, now when I try to open my IPhoto it says it needs to be prepared to work, so I install that and it says it is downloaded, but when I try to open my Iphoto it just keeps repeating that it needs to

The above question is too big to read, so this is what it says>>>>I finally got the new IPhoto 11 to download after problems with the installation; now when I open it, a message pops up that says to continue I need to prepare the old version for the new....so I downloaded the preparation download and it says it is installed, but when I go back to open IPhoto again after this installation, the same message keeps popping up! I cannot find any of my pictures either. What is going wrong and how can I continue with IPhoto and update and get my pictures again? This all has happened because I made a big book of my travels and when I went to purchase it it said I could no longer buy books using the old IPhoto 7.........so I updated everthing and bought the new version and did everything it said, but still not working:::HELP!

You have to download and run the upgrader then launch iPhoto. Go to the utilities folder in Applications and launch the iPhoto upgrader. Then launch iPhoto and it will upgrade the library

Finally got it working Thanks!!!

Greatings,
I finally got my Nano working again! Maybe this will help someone else. My iPod basically was not reconized by my computer so I followed the info posted elsewhere to reformat and then restore which did not fix my problem. I then reinstalled all the software which allowed my computer to recognize my iPod but iTunes still couldn't see it. iTunes would only recognize the iPod in disk mode but I could not get it out of disk mode; it would only flash the apple symbol. So after trying everything again I left the iPod connected to the computer and flashing do not disconnect and went to work. When I came home the laptop had shut itself down so I turned it back on not remembering the iPod was plugged in and still flashing. When the laptop came on it automatically went into an XP diagnostic screen saying that the volume on drive E was dirty and that it was repairing the drive. Once that finished I fired up iTunes and the name your iPod screen came up and then it started downloading my library and is working just like new now. Hopefully this will help someone else because it is very frustrating when you get really close to fixing it and can't make it work. Thanks to all folks that post!

excellent news Libba. (that was an absolute nightmare with the reinstalls that you were going through before.)
this is actually the second time now i've seen something like that ... where XP finally noticed that there was something wrong with the drive on the ipod, and then the disk repair allowed a restore to go through properly. (so we were in exotica territory with this one too ... granted, Mitch and other folk spend more time doing disk-damage remedial work than i do.)
Mitch here is checking on the following possibility with the drive letter:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
for additional info on how Windows drive letter assignments work, follow the link in the document through to the Microsoft KB doc on drive letter assignment issues.

Finally got round to buying an iPhone 4, really excellent to start with. The sharing of music from my Mac Mini was excellent. ios6 update has ruined all that! The artist view miss's out most of my music and the sharing sometimes doesn't work at all!

How do I get this feature working again? I am reluctant to move to iTunes 10.7 because I don't trust Apple at the moment.

My suggestion:
1) Always using MAC AIR with the power plug in.
2)Don' let the power level of battory fall under 30% percentage.
3)If the MAC can't be recharged now, just let it be with power plugged, WAIT...

i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone. I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone. My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarted. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

I hooked up mine and finally got it to work but every once in a while my web browser get stuck. how di fix this?

i hooked up mine airport and finally got it to work but every once in a while my web browser gets stuck. how di fi?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

I think I finally got it to work!

I FINALLY got something new on my screen...now it says: "waiting for iPhone" and there's a little circle on the bottom of the iPhone screen that's rotating as if it's "thinking."
Whew, I hope it works now, it only took me 6 hours and hundreds of tries, LOL!
Boy, I sure am glad I shelled out $400 for this awesome phone! (sarcasm...heavy sarcasm)

Did you do anything different to get it to this point? I'm having the same problem...tried the 'solutions' noted in other postings about updating drivers as best I could, but I'm not on Vista...

Finally got Time Machine to work!

It was a pain - numerous hangs, 3 kernel panics and 6 failed backups, but I finally got it to work ..... I hope!
What I did was to
1) Erase and rename the target drive (Tardis seemed an appropriate name ;-))
2) Prevent Spotlight from indexing the target drive (System Preferences> Spotlight> Privacy)
3) Set the Screensaver to "Never"
4) Delete the TimeMachine plist file
5) Repair Permissions everywhere
6) Close all open applications
7) Set up target drive in Time Machine and initiate BackUp
8) Walk away from computer - don't even touch the mouse - and come back several hours later when Time Machine has finished backing up.
This worked for me but, as in most things, your mileage may vary.
Message was edited by: Pornits - Forgot to include the important "Delete the TimeMachine plist file" step

From what I've read here, the kernel panics may be associated with Spotlight trying to access data that is still being written by TM. Another interesting point is that, my kernel panics also seemed to occur at about an hour into the back-up process .... which, coincidentally, is the same time period that TM uses to make it's incremental back-ups - a scripting error perhaps? Don't you just love being a beta tester?
In any case, this method worked for me - TM now appears to be functioning as advertised. If it's not working for you, my only suggestion is to disable TM and wait for Apple to post a fix. In the mean time, a back-up solution like SuperDuper may be of some help.

Audigy 2 ZS, Vista x64: Finally got bass redirection working!

=Audigy 2 ZS, Vista x64: Finally got bass redirection working!B Hey guys,
I have hooked a Teufel Concept G to my Audigy 2 ZS. The Speakers do not have internal cross mix, so unless the sound card provides a bass signal there will be NO bass at all. This has not been a problem under linux, since it automatically configures the sound card to send out bass, but very frustrating in Windows Vista x64. GTA4 is no fun without bass ;-)
After endless searching and messing with different drivers (breaking the whole vista sound system) I coincidently got bass redirection (and CMSS2 apparently) working today.
These are the steps I took:
. Fresh install of Windows Vista x64
2. Installation of Audigy 2 drivers provided by WindowsUpdate, did not download from Creative Labs
3. Use an old CtPanel-App which actually could activate bass redirection and CMSS2?
I uploaded the App:?
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L6J0ZJVA
If you start the App it will take ages until it pops up, but then it works just fine. Feedback appreciated!
regards
Tiedemate?

I also have the same problem, sound stop working after getting SP2, I updated vista to SP2 because I want to update to windows 7, with win 7 I have try all the drivers without success I still have no sound and with some drivers I get a blue screen. After 2 restarts windows 7 ask me to fix the problem with restore and vola everything works ok but no sound.

HT3964 Finally got to the reset SMC step and this worked. Powered the Mac Book Pro A1150 on the following morning and again grey screen and this time the SMC reset refuses to work!

After following the Apple knowledge base support notes on resetting the SMC I finally got to the reset SMC step and this worked. Powered the Mac Book Pro A1150 back up on the following morning and again grey screen and this time the SMC reset refuses to work!
The battery still as before indicates not charging and no lights on the battery pack confirm this along with the system profiler which suggests the battery should be replaced. The charger itself actually works ok.
Any further advice would be useful.

Replace the battery.
