I lost the CD that came with my ipod and can't connect to new computer

When I put my shuffle in the USB port it says there is an unknown host in the port that windows does not recognized (it says it has "malfunctioned"). I don't have the CD that came with my ipod to reconnect it to this computer. A guy from another forum told me all I needed was itunes but I have itunes. The ipod isn't recognized by either.I believe I need that CD unless there is a downloadable version of the cd here somewhere? HELP.

I believe I need that CD unless there is a downloadable version of the cd here somewhere?
You don't need a CD. As noted, you need iTunes.

How to format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.

Dear user, can i format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.

As you need to be on 10.6 to be able access the App Store to download Lion, either get replacement discs via Applecare (you'll need the MBP's serial number to get the right ones) or get the SL retail disc. I would recommend the Original disc replacement set (assuming they were 10.6) as they carry not onlyApple Hardware Test for your model, but the iLife apps other bundled sftware that isn't on the retail disc.
Once you've installed, and used Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you can then get Lion if you're feeling masochistic.

HT1695 I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little bit of information in the folder that came with it, all I can do is turn it on, but it just powers down after a few seconds. How do I work this thing?

I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on. Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything! Help! What do I do to get this thing going?

You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

I can't download the software that came with my ipod

I'm having trouble downloading the software that came with my photo ipod 20G even though i have windows 2000 professional. It comes up with a message when the cd starts loading saying that i need a higher form of windows. I think it might have something to do with the SP4 business but I don't even know what that means, let alone how to find out whether or not I have it. And if i don't, does anyone know how i could and would it be as difficult as changing to windows XP. (My mum said it cost her $1300 changing it at work)
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can download the software here...

But, I am not sure how that helps since you need the admin password...

I've just upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 6.0 and have lost the YouTube that came with iOS 5.1 Help?

I have only had my iPad2 with ios 5.1 a few months but already had several videos stored with the YouTube app that came with iOS 5.1.
I have just upgraded to ios 6 and appear to have lost this App.
What has happened?
Can I get it back, along with my stored videos?
I did sync my iPad with my PC and so there may be copies there, but not being computer literate, I would not want to transfer them from the PC to the iPad with any risk of losing them, assuming that the YouTube App transfers with it or that I can download a YouTube aPp for ios 6.
Any advice on this aspect of the problem would be much appreciated.
Chris

Sorry, no YouTube in IOS 6.
You can use the iPhone version of YouTube or Jasmine

Is there a way to remove the apps that came with my ipod?

so you know how when you hold down the home button then all the apps become shaky with the little white X in the corner of them to delete it? Well i was wondering if there is a way to delete the apps that come with the ipod already loaded onto it and dont show up with and X and only shake. Because i never use some of them and they are just taking up space but i dont know if you can delete them. is there a way? thanks!

You can go to settings, general, restrictions, and then enable the restrictions. You can then choose what you want visible on your home screen. To bring back what you've restricted, simply go back to settings, disable the restriction, and it'll be regular again.

How do I separate a new calendar app from the one that came with ipad, so entries only are made in new app?

How do I separate the iPad's own generic calendar app from a calendar app I purchased, so that the entries I put into the new app don't cross over to the generic app? Also, whenever changing over to a new calendar app, is it always possible to transfer all data from the old to the new or is there a limit on quantity or time frame ever? Does it depend on the app?

Cloning And Backup Tools
A bootable clone is an exact copy of your drive which is capable of booting your computer. Making a copy of your computer which is capable of actually starting the computer requires special copying procedures. Some people just back up data files but if you have problems you have to reinstall all your operating system and all your applications. With a bootable clone you just start up from the backup drive and clone back everything.
To copy files from one hard drive to another hard drive you can use:

Where can I download photoshop cs 8.0 I have the serial number from the case but I can't find the Cd that came with it. I can't find where to download the software for it so I can just enter the serial number and download the program.

I am trying to find at least the trial version so that I can enter the serial number that I have on the back of the case and activate the full version so I can get some work I need to get done finished. My laptop was thrown away after a flood in my basement and I believe the cd was still in it. I don't recall ever taking it out.

Forget your existing disc and serial number. They won't work.
Download the new non-activation version of CS2 (applies to CS owners as well) from
Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
Install then enter the new serial number provided at that link.

I need to create a new admin account. but i lost the cd that came with the macbook, and forgot my password. also can the cd be replaced.

You can purchase replacement discs from AppleCare:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support visit online support site.
You can try the following to reset the password without the DVD:
How to change your username and/or password from the Terminal
1. Boot into single-user or verbose mode
2. At the prompt enter the following commands. Press RETURN after each:
fsck -fy
mount -uw /
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
dscl . -passwd /Users/username password
Replace username with the targeted user and password with the desired password.
reboot
This allows you to reset the password in single user mode without booting from the install media. The above tip is attributed to Satcomer.

"charging is not supported" when using the cable that came with ipod

I get an error message that "charging is not supported" when plugged in using the only cable that came with my ipod touch. My ipod will charge for 5 minutes then when I check on it, I notice this error on screen and the ipod has stopped charging. I'm using the same charging method I have always used since I owned this ipod which has been over 2 years now and this only started happening recently. I believe this started when I upgraded to 5.0.1.

- Look at both partsof the 30 pin dock connector. Log for bent. mising or corroded contacts of orther abnormalities. The cable could be bad. Try a new one.
- Try a reset. Nothings is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

How do i recover the drivers that came with the delivery? (Dolby problem after 8.1update)

Hello there community!
I have a burning question.
I recently bought a thinkpad edge 540. Which came preinstalled with windows 8.
When i updated to 8.1 I lost my dolby audio, this seems to happen a lot more, reading through this community.
There is a solution for that, to just reinstall the audio input and output device with the drivers that came with the delivery. However, and here is my problem.
In the solutions given, they are talking about a section on the hard drive that should contain the drivers. In most cases E:\DRIVERS.
Unfortunately, thats not the case with me. I know there is a recovery partition, but i cant see it within windows.
I used this to reset to the factory defaults already, but i cant find a drivers section.
Im hesitant to update again to 8.1 now, because it gave me several issues. One of them was the intel wifi driver, which was hard to resolve in the beginning, but also now the DOLBY audio.
Can anyone tell me, where to find the drivers? or is it just not possible?
I dont have a drivers section, or partition on my hard drive anyway..
Can you guys please help me out? Since i like the dolby feature, and it would be a shame to not be able to update to 8.1. (safety issues and features).
I know there are more people encountering this problem, but the solution to just use the preinstalled driversection.. is not an option for me, sadly. Or perhaps I am wrong..
Any help is greatly appreaciated! Thanks guys!

You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you may be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download however they are not under any obligation to do so. The policy on lost songs is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
You can email them from any of the links on this page: iTMS Customer Service
