I've upgraded my pc and now Im getting an error message when Im trying to sync my ipod saying I have two itunes libraries. The library thats there is only showing some songs and it's not uploading songs Ive just bought.
You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day! -

I keep getting this error message when I (right-click) on a photo file on my desktop to burn to a CD. I don't understand this code...does anyone? Thanks Ariel**: The disc can’t be burned because an unexpected error occurred (error code 0x80020000).
I tried every obvious solution to this problem with different types of disc (-R; +R; -RW and +RW) and the problem persisted. Then I read about removing a hyphen in picture filenames. I renamed all the images and bingo there were no further problems. Apple should have solved this by now. This error code has been reported for several years and my MacBook Pro is quite new. Anyway, I hope this helps. It does work.

I'm not sure how much more info I can give...When I go to sign on after having been on and shutting down, I get a message indicating an application of Firefox is already running and need to shut it down or restart my computer. As Firefox is not running, I have to restart my computer each time to get back on.
Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

When I run diagnostics I get error 43 telling me to repair install itunes and that doesn't work either.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Is there a way around this?
She has to be using some version of the camera connection kit doesn't she? Only way to get a card reader plugged into an iPad.
if the cards are SD cards, then plugging them directly iinto the camera connection kit is the best way. If they're not SD cards, then you can use the USB attachment to plug your camera directly into the iPad.
If you're using a device beyond the camera or an SD card, some have reported success using a powered USB hub to allow plugging hte camera connection kit to other card readers.
Basically, the USB out of the iPad only puts out a limited amount of power. About a year ago, it put out more and people could plug in card readers and keyboards and even mice, but Apple changed the power configuration so now most things do not work. -
I tried downloaded the browser again from IE, but that hasn't helped the problem.
[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] has steps that you can try. It sounds like you may have something that is hanging your browser on exit (probably an extension or a locked profile) and the steps on that page should help clear it up.

I x off Firefox and work on MS Pub or Word, perhaps my email. If, for some reason I want to go back on Firefox, a box comes up and says it's already running - to close it and restart Firefox. I can't find where to close it? If I could re-open it, that would be fine, but to close it - there are no tabs, icons etc. So, I simply restart the whole computer and begin again. That's a long way round the barn!
SteveCheck the task manager (ctrl + shift + esc) and look for firefox.exe in the processes tab. If it's running, close it.
