I keep getting a pop up saying...

"AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working"
And it will continue to pop up until I close out of itunes.
I have windows vista and an iPod nano.
Please help, because I want to be able to purchase new songs from itunes, but can't because of the popup.

Hello, you don't mention what version of iTunes you are using so I'll assume it's 7.7. This appears to be a fairly common error on Vista which has been covered in these forums before, here is one post you may find useful: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1592534&tstart=0
I believe the main point in that post is to try running iTunes/the helper as an Administrator. If you do a search on Google http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=vistaAppleMobileDeviceHelper+has+stopped+working&btnG=GoogleSearch&meta= you should find a raft of posts that may be of some use. I would try going through some of the posts here first.

  • How do i allocate more memory to my iphoto application? i am unable to add more photos to my library  i keep getting a pop up saying not enough memory in my application

    how do i allocate more memory from my hd to my iphoto application? i have over 80 gb on my hard drive, but only 1.7 gb allocated to my iphoto application & i am unable to add more photos to my library.  i keep getting a popup that says not enough application memory.

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
    A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
    Not enough memory for your usage pattern
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
    Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
    "Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the  leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

    I am trying to hard sync my i phone to my MAC before I purchase a new phone. My MAC however has a pop up that says I already have 5 computers associated with this ID. So I went into i tunes store and had a list of 4 items, I deauthorized 2, my i pod & i pad, which left 2 items on the list. However I am still getting the same pop up saying I have 5 devices. Any ideas how to correct this?

    Go to one of the other computers and use the Deauthorize Computer function. If you don't have physical or network access to any of them, use the Deauthorize All command documented in the article you asked this question from, and if that's not an option, the link to contact the iTunes Store staff at the bottom of it.

  • I keep getting a pop up saying 'It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible.' When I click 'View more information about this update' nothing happens. Do I need an update or not?

    If I click the Next button it says Connecting to the update server for Downloading Firefox. I am connected to the internet. It just keeps displaying the same msg but nothing seems to be happening. I tried clicking the Hide button and now I can't get back to it. What is this about?

    There is a security update for Firefox (Firefox 10.0.2) which you should apply. Unfortunately, it looks as if the updater on your Firefox is messing up somehow.
    The easiest way to work around this and get you secure is to go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download the latest version of Firefox there. After it downloads, go ahead and run the installer over your current Firefox. None of your settings will be changed, but it will apply the security fix, and you will be all good to go!

    Unfortunately, that's not going to be something the forum can help you with. It's something you're probably going to have to figure out on your end. The CreativeCloud software might have the info you need when you launch it. Or, at least, something to help get you on track. You may also contact Adobe support to see if they can offer any help, but I'd get as much info as you can before that.

  • I keep getting a pop up saying Firefox is using far too much memory

    If I try to download a video or film something that would have taken 30 minutes is now taking 10-12 hours.
    My download speed is showing 4.79 MB/sec but it´s certainly not doing that.

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    See my post here and do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
    * [/questions/826858]
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    I recently got the new iPhone 5c I used icloud to back everything up from my 4s to my new 5c.  Now, I keep getting a pop up that says Continue Restoring?  (This iPhone has not been backed uprecently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app date?)
    I seleted to finish downloading because I didn't want to lose anything.  It still will not finish downloading and I have tried this several times.
    What do I need to do to that I can get my iphone to back up and so that I can install the new iOS?

    Hello there, Brandifoote24.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of what you're error signifies:
    iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
    "This iPhone has not been backed up recently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app data?"
    This message is displayed if your iOS device has been trying to complete a restore for more than three days. This can occur if your restore has been interrupted due to network connectivity issues or some other problem occurs.
    Being that this is the case, you would want to go back to the article it seems you were referred to us from and try to restore from your icloud backup again:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
    How do I restore an iCloud backup if my device is already set up for use?
    You'll need to erase all data and settings from your device, so first confirm that you have an iCloud backup to restore:
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device to view a list of iCloud backups.
    Check the date of the backup you want to restore, because you'll be restoring only what iCloud backed up on that date.
    After confirming that an iCloud backup is available, follow these steps:
    Connect your device to a power source and make sure that it is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
    Follow the instructions for restoring your iOS device from an iCloud backup, which include making sure that your device is using the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue persists, then I would troubleshoot Wi-Fi using the following article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

    Since the MobileMe move I keep getting a pop-up screen that says "IDisk Conflict Resolver." I've done everything asked to "resolve" the problem but it keeps popping up every few minutes. How can I get rid of this?

    Ok....so I have found a work around....if not a complete solution.
    I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
    I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
    Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
    I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
    Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd
