First make sure you have the most recent iTunes software. It's currently at 7.5. You can find your version by selecting "About iTunes" from the "Help" menu. If you have an older version of iTunes then go to http://www.apple.com/itunes and get the latest.
Then start iTunes. You shouldn't need for it to be running in order to sync, but go ahead and start it first just to eliminate one potential source of problems. (Note that you can configure iTunes to not automatically start when you plug in an iPod, so maybe that accenditally got turned on somehow).
Then plug in your iPod to the computer. Listen for the Windows audio feedback that let's you know a device has been connected (of course you need to have your computer's speakers un-muted for that:-) If you don't hear anything, then for some reason the computer isn't recognizing the iPod at all. Another way to see if Windows sees the iPod (different from listening for it), is to double-click "My Computer" to get an Explorer window. Then when you plug in the iPod you should see something for it show up (it shows "Mobile Device" on my XP laptop). If this isn't working for you then maybe try a different USB port, different computer, or different cable.
If the computer recognizes the iPod, you should soon seen iTunes add an entry for the iPod in the left bar under "DEVICES". If that doesn't happen, then, umm, I'm not sure what would cause that.
If you get the iPod to appear in itunes, then select it (just click the entry under "DEVICES". I don't remember exactly what happens next, but it should be something about registering your iPod. That will not only register it, but also activate it and install the latest firmware on your iPod.
I hope that helps. If it doesn't, then it would help if you post back here telling what part of this process fails for you, so that people can help you troubleshoot the problem.

  • Can captivate guide someone through a form on my website and then they can submit it?

    can captivate be interractive with a form on my website and guide someone through the process of filling it out with step by step guidance, and details. And then they can submit it?

    Hi there,
    You can create a short training in Captivate to guide someone, then can insert web object interaction in Captivate and give the URL of the form on your website, so learners can fill the form from there itself.
    Do you have a form on your website, or is it Adobe's formscentral form?
    Thanks.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Then GULP, check for this...
    Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
    http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
    /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
    /Applications/avast!.app
    /Applications/ClamXav.app
    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

  • I'm not that good with computers and I need some help....

    I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3.3 for windows 7 so I could print out sheet music (pdf file). When I try to open it using Adobe Reader, this pops up:
    "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association for this program in the Default Programs control panel"
    and I need to know what to do, to fix it. It might be a small problem, but I have no idea what to do. so could someone tell me in detail, how I'm supposed to fix this?                                                                     thanks,

     Actually, when I open Adobe Reader (just by itself) the same message appears, and if I close the pop-up, adobe reader closes.
    That is very unusual - it appears that the Reader is not installed correctly.  Can you open Control Panel, then Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Adobe Reader.  Then reinstall it from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe

  • Pages with Adressbook (and Bento) – who can help?

    I created the fields in my pages document as required. I imported an address from addressbook. That worked.
    Then I imported an address from addressbook that I previously imported in adressbook from Bento (in Bento). It imported the Name and company but not the address like street and city. It seems that it does not recognize the address as an address?
    Can it have something to do with the German version? Because the address created in Addressbook worked, the one from Bento not. What can help?
    Thanks for helping me,
    Michael

    New idea: I opened the .csv with TextEdit and replaced the ; with ,

    What will you do for decimal numbers containing a comma ?
    But I assumes that there is no such datas in a list of address.
    This huge oddity: a program from Apple and a program from a 100% Apple's subsidiary which don't speak the same language is already reported to Bugs hunters.

  • I have an Apple16 GB with BT Yahoo home pad that had a small box to let me go to mail and another for  weather and below them I had my local weather in box,somehow I have erased them and don't know how to get the back ,not very good with computers.

    I have an Apple16GB with BT Yahoo home page which had a box for mail and weather and further down I had my local weather, I have touched something and lost these boxes and my home page has changed  and I would like to get it back as it was. I have to admit to being useless at computers although I love my I Pad. 

    Is this the website that you are looking for? According to the very little bit of research that I did on this before responding to you, there have been changes made to the website and to the way that works ...if I read everything correctly.
    http://home.bt.com/
    Did you have a shortcut to the website on your iPad home screen? If that is what you want to create again, navigate to that website in Safari and then tap the arrow icon next to the address/URL field at the top of the Safari toolbar. Form the window that will pop up, select - Add to Home Screen. That will put an icon on your home screen that will allow you to open directly to that page in Safari when you tap on it.

  • Firefox keeps crashing I have tried removing and reinstalling but it still crashing what do I do I am a silver surfer not very good with computers

    ON Frid I went on firefox and it kept crashing I kept sending to firfox to fix the problem and it still crashing I have tied removing and then reinstalling the program but the same thing happend I can get opera and internet explorer no problem but i prefer to use firefox

    Since a few days we have a lot of crashes with [http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport Trusteer Rapport]. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing.<br>
    You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport<br>
    You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it.<br>
    http://www.trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem<br>
    If you do not have Rapport, then we need to have a crash report ID. When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.<br>

  • HT201412 I bought my I pad 3 2 days ago and the touchscreen buttons are not responding.  some voice is telling me to double click on the apps and then telling me what the app is!  I am not great with computers and so on - can anyone help???????  thanks!

    I bought an I Pad 3 2 days ago and updated to IOS 6 Software.  Was working fine until last night and now it is not responding to touchscreen but is instead a voice advising me to double click on my apps and then which explains them - like a tutorial.  Please help!

    Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
    If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

  • HT5622 I can't get music onto my iPhone or my iPod. A message says that an internal error has occurred when I try to sync it. Anyone think they can help?

    Is there a problem with my computer or my itunes account?

    Do you see a number associated with the error?
    What does it say is syncing in the little window at the top of iTunes?
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and then try syncing less content to identify what is causing the problem.

    Hi Tim, welcome to the forum,
    have you turned BT on using the Fn+F5 key combination? BT is "off" as default unlike wireless which is "on" as default.

  • Hi! I need to load a GET url that si very long. On other browsers, I can load the url. In firefox 3.6, no. There is an addons or a plugin so I can extend this limit? If yes, is possible to load automatically this addons when loading a certain page? thanks

    Hi!
    I need to load a GET url that si very long. On other browsers, I can load the url. In firefox 3.6, no.
    There is an addons or a plugin so I can extend this limit? If yes, is possible to load automatically this addons when loading a certain page? thanks
    The url is sometingh like this (this is correctly loaded, but it could be longer)

    Firefox should have problems with long GET data appended to an URL (long would be over 64k).<br />
    If there are problems then it is possible that an extension is the cause of that.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • I had my MBP near two finger length magnets and someone told me that its not good for computers! Anyone's opinions on this cause my computer seems fine?

    I had my MBP near two finger length magnets and someone told me that its not good for computers! Anyone's opinions on this cause my computer seems fine?

    Don't worry about it.  The MBP has built-in magnets.  Does magsafe power connector ring a bell?  The motor inside of the hard drive has a magnet.
    You would need an extremely powerful magnet to affect a hard drive.  I'm sure the electromagnet they use at a scrap yard to pick up a car could do it.
    A long time ago I tried to erase some floppy diskettes by placing a magnet directly against the outer cover of the diskette.  It had no effect on the recorded data.
