I have two computers that don't properly recognize my Ipod!!

Specs of computer # 1:
A VIA K8VNXP motherboard
Radeon X800 XT PE
AMD 64 3400+ (Socket 734 I believe)
1 gig of 400mhz Cosair DDR ram
160 gig IDE 7200 RPM hard drive
Audigy 2 sound card
Specs of computer # 2:
Specs:
Shuttle SN25P Mobo/case combo
AMD 64 3000+ (Socket 939)
1 gig of Cosair 400Mhz DDR ram
Leadtek Geforce 6800 GT
Disclaimer: The ipod I'm having trouble with worked perfectly on my Sager notebook. I sold that notebook about a month ago and built a shuttle. I only used my ipod on my Sager notebook before testing it on my shuttle and desktop
Pretty much when I install the Ipod software, the "ipod configuration" portion of the installer would recognize that the ipod was connection, but would not be able to "find" it. The progress bar keeps going until it tells me my ipod needs to be formatted (Which it is mind you, fat32 too).
If I click on format, it just keeps looking for what seems like forever and finally gives up.
If I ignore the configuration wizard and install itunes and the driver software, itunes never is able to find the ipod nor can the ipod update utility find the ipod.
The ipod DOES work as a hard drive, meaning I can transfer files to it and stuff, but it doesn't have the ipod icon as the drive icon nor is it recognized by itunes or the update utility.
After digging on Apples support site, I found this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
The only potential problem may be the section that says my ipod needs to be connected to a "high powered" USB 2.0 port.
Well I know I have a USB 2.0 port that's properly configured and I know that it's powered (I have a USB mini vaccum cleaner that draws power from the USB port). But is it "high powered"? Is there a difference?
How do I find out if it's high powered? If it isn't, how do I make it high powered?
I am really running out of ideas guys. It can't be this hard to setup an ipod (since I had no problems with it on my notebook), why aren't both of my computers playing nice with it?????
Also the ipod I bought is an 60 gig ipod photo, is this a 5th generation ipod that can play video?

hi Michael!
hmmm. it might be worth checking to see if at least one of the recognition problems is a drive letter issue:

keep us posted.

I have two computers that are not working

i have two computers that are not working with 1 year warranty

If offering for sale I will give five dollars for the pair. Barring they are not for sale and each have one year of warranty my suggestion is to contact HP Support by telephone about sending the computers to a repair facility.

Your subscription allows for you to install on two machines. One condition is that only one of the installations can be in use at any given time.

I have two computers that give this message when trying to view Dishnet "Camelot" on computer: "Widevine media transformer plugin could not be installed - it is not compatible with firefox 4.0.1." I am told that it is, how do we resolve this? Thanks

The plugin says that Firefox does not allow it.

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required

We have two users that have been using Creative Cloud for almost a year. Recently, sometime in the last 4ish weeks, the users can no longer run Creative Cloud apps. (Yes, our subscription is paid.) Error simply says administrator access is required to install. The apps have already been installed. The users cannot run them unless they are in the local admin group.Using "Run as admin" does not work. It gives the same error.
I have opened a case with adobe support and was basically told to suck it up and put the users in the admin group. Actually, what was said was that it is "mandated that the users have administrative rights".
There are a couple of things wrong with this. It was working for both users until recently - a recent required creative cloud update. The users have never been local admins yet the apps were working (poorly, but working).
We are in an enterprise environment and users simply do not have administrative rights on the computers.
I have changed permissions on all adobe folders, granting users or authenticated users modify or full control rights, did the same in whatever Adobe registry HKLM keys I could find. Nothing has allowed the users to run the apps - unless they are put in the local admin group.
Someone has to have a fix for this. Adobe apps have proved to have far too many vunerabilities to even entertain the idea of elevating user rights. I can't imagine that enterprise environments are allowing this.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Jeff,
Thank you for your response. The users in question are "standard" domain users. We do not reduce users permissions below the standard level.
The apps do not load with their current standard user permissions.
The thing that makes this odd, is that up until recently they did this issue with cloud apps. The only way I can make it work for them now is to put them in the local administrator group on their pc's - which is not going to happen.
This is what they now see. As I said before, this was not a problem up until recently they would see all their available apps. If I put them in the local admin group the apps are listed without having to install. Everything is there, just not accessible to the user.

Is it possible to have two DADs that access the same database?????

Hello,
Is it possible to have two DADs that access the same database?
One DAD would be password protected with Authentication mode Per Package and the other DAD would not require a password/login
If it is possible can you also give suggestions about how to do this

HT1349 Apparently you can have 5 computers registered for iTunes. I have 3 active computers but I guess I have other computers that are still activated that I no longer use. Is there a way to delete or see what the others are? Please help!

Apparently you can have 5 computers registered for iTunes. I have 3 active computers but I guess I have other computers that are still activated that I no longer use and I no longer have as they crashed. Is there a way to delete or see what the other computers are so that I can go in and delete them? I've tried to email Apple directly but apparently I need my hardware # and obviously I do not have that # since I don't have the equipment any longer. Any help is greatly appreicated. I am trying to add another computer and it won't allow me to as they say I'm at my limit. Please help!

Sure.
Just open up iTunes on your computer -> Go to the iTunes Store -> Click your e- maill address (top right corner of the window) -> Type in your password for your Apple ID -> Under Computer Authorisations (underneath your Apple ID account balance and address) -> Press 'Deauthorise All'
-> This will deauthorise all computers and devices from your iTunes account -> you then need to re- authorise any computers/ devices you would like to use with your Apple ID for iTunes content -> to do this, select the Store tab along the menu at the top (where 'File', 'Edit', 'View' etc..... are) -> Then click 'Authorise this Computer' -> Type in your Apple ID -> Voila!
For any iOS devices (non- computers) you wish to re- authorise, these will automatically do so when you go to play iTunes content, download an app or anything like that on those devices!
Hope this helps!

I tried to authorize a new computer with windows 8. Per iTunes Help,there should be an "authorize computer" section on the iTunes store menu. I only have two computers authorized so I know another one is possible. Suggestions?

Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer.

Adobe currently supports Acrobat X and Acrobat XI for Mac and Windows platforms. More details about base system requirements can be found here: Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and the changes to these requirements with the product updates can be found here : Overview — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes. So the earliest version would be Acrobat X and the Latest would be Acrobat XI.
Please let us know if that answers your query.
