I have tried everything on Windows ME...can't update; usb won't even read!

Can anyone help me? I have an apple icon that appears and won't go away. My IPOD mini used to work just fine up until 2 days ago. I have tried all the suggestions listed on this site that I have found and my computer won't download updater nor will it read my IPOD via USB!! It doesn't even recognize that it's plugged in. I purchased this IPOD in November 05 and can't believe that it's malfunctioning already!!! What the heck!!! I have no idea what to do!! It is fully charged....I have used the firewire as well as the USB...nothing happens. When I try to download UPDATER FOR WINDOWS ME...I still get a message stating that I must update to Windows XP! Do I have to get a new program in order for this thing to work!!???

Are you referring to this article?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302091
If so, it refers to first generation regular sized iPods and not the iPod mini. Apple hasn't provided support for Windows ME for a long while now, and never for the iPod mini.
Clicking on the link in that article will take you to the updater download page but this is for the latest updater, and is no use to you. Apple do not host older updaters.
"AM I BEING TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY TO UPDATE/DOWNLOAD or EVEN USE THIS IPOD IS TO HAVE THE WINDOWS XP PROGRAM???? THIS IS INSANE!!"
Yes, you are. The system requirements for the mini (on Windows) are for 2000 with SP4, or XP with SP2. Clearly stated on the box, and in the iPod tech specs.
Fact is, you bought an iPod not designed to work on Windows ME (and neither will iTunes), so yes, that is insane.
Here's a link to iPod Lounge, where it tells how to set up an iPod using ME. It's a regular iPod though, not a mini.

Other than, we can't help.

I am also providing you with a screenshot of what appears! I need photos on my iPad2

You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

Bill,
I know your case well. It comes with the Antec SL350, which has enough power for your system.
I would try different RAM just to see if you have a bad stick.
Take Care,

You have a 1st generation iPod Touch.
It can be updated to 3.1.3 by purchase. See here Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

TS1559 My iPhone 3GS will not now join wifi. This is a very recent problem and I have tried everything so hope someone can help. I go Settings then Wifii, it picks up network no problem but then does not download IP Address.

My IPhone 3GS will not now join wifi, this is a very recent problem. It finds my network but does not download the IP Address hence when I load password Join remains grey. I have tried all the fixes suggested I.e. network reset, airplane on then off but still nothing. I also have another iPhone of the same type and an iPad and they are just fine so I know it is not a router problem. Please please what do I do?

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

I cannot run the 13.0r0 flashplayer with the 28.0 firefox. I have tried EVERYTHING! I also can no longer run an archived player just tell me to update.

running firefox 28, trying to run flashplayer 13.0r0, have windows vista. At this point I can't even pull up the logo to disable the acceleration - that is the only thing I have not been able to try. All I ever get is that the flashplayer has stopped and windows is searching for a solution..... I also did the firefox reset which did not work. Is this fixable or do I need to purchase a new modem????

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

I'm English but live in Germany.I have version 3.6, but cannot get Google to load in English. It see's my IP address and opens the German version. I think I have tried everything, nothing works. Can somebody help

I have set www.google.com as my home address, this always opens the German website, but at least there is a link to Google.com. If I open any other page before changing, it is always the German version, and there is no way to change it.
I don't have this problem with Explorer 8
Any ideas?
Regards

It is not the solution for me. I have a second pc witrh FireFox 3.6plus running on Windows XP service pack 3 This works fine, I get Google in English as normal.
The problem is with my Windows 7 pc, as the Google setup is the same, it must be something local.

Firefox won't open no error message, tried everything in the help article nothing works. Won't even open in safe mode. help!

When I click on the firefox icon (windows 7) nothing happens. not even in safe mode. Nothing in the help article works. I've tried uninstalling twice.

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

Hello,
I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Everytime I open a comment tag 'pop-up,' the Thumb-Nail section opens, very annoying. Have tried everything I can think of. Any ideas? Thank you.

Every time (ALMOST) I open a comment tag 'pop-up,' the Thumb-Nail section opens, very annoying. Have tried everything I can think of. Any ideas? No other problems elsewhere, either in Adobe or Word or my entire computer for that matter. Very strange glitch. Ran several deep virus checks - nothing. Booted and re-booted. Entered different ways into Adobe, no help. Thought about my keyboard (wireless of course) might be doing it, but in other web-sites and in WORD - no problems.
I use WINDOWS 8.1. Also doubled checked my up-date status. Is there a chance that this is a continuing problem that is still being encountered from the last major Adobe up-date? Use Adobe for years with never a problem until the latest up-date. Parting thought, maybe just my batteries in my keyboard are getting low, or a really low threshold virus of some sort, no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Charlie

these are the sites and the information that i followed and none of these things gave me a solution. i am still getting a second tab with every single window that opens. . . thank you for your help!
