IPod can't be restored due to another application

Here's the scoop....I have a iPod Photo 40GB and I have the latest iTunes 7.0 installed on my computer. Whenever I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes will detect the iPod and show the summery in the main window but when I try to restore the iPod it gives me the following error.
"The iPod "B's iPod" cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application."
Any ideas on what I should do?
FYI, my iPod shows up as a P drive due to my network connections. Could this possibly have something to do with my Disk Management?

I used the MSCONFIG to troubleshoot this problem and I think I may have fixed it.

  • Locked out of ipod touch 4th generation, I tried restoring it to factory settings but after a while an "error" window will pop up saying "iPod can not be restored due to error"... HELP?

    I just got this iPod today and my last iPod touch broke back in november, so I have no clue what the passcode could be. I tried resetting it to factory settings but an error window pops up and and says that it can not be synced even though it got to the part where it says "Connect to iTunes" but then it shuts down. I don't know what to do, I live no where near an apple store and I don't have the money to fix it. Plus it has a cracked screen if that tells you anything.

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11.1.5) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

    If that Article does not resolve it... then you have a problem.
    Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

    If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Can't drag a photo to another application in Photos now

    Among the MANY problems and loses of functionality when going from iPhoto to Photos is the inability to drag a photo to another application. It appears that I must export the photo to the desktop and then drag to the other application. This involves several additional steps and is much less efficient than in iPhoto. If I am only moving on photo, it is not as big of a deal, but when I have to export many photos it wastes a lot of time.
    Am I missing something?

  • Can we copy a region to another application?

    I have a region which contains a lot of items and I want it to be also in another application....
    Is there any way to copy it?
    Saad

    Hello,
    >> I have a region which contains a lot of items … Is there any way to copy it?
    The pre condition to any kind of copying is that the source and target application shares the same workspace, or the same workspace ID.
    AFAIK, you can’t directly copy a region from one application to another, nor to export it as a component. However, you can copy a region between two pages on the same application, and you can export a sing page, or copy it between applications. Hence, the only solution I can think of, to your situation, is to export the source page containing your region; Import the page into your target application, copy the region from the new page into your existing page, and delete the newly imported page. It seems like a lot of work, but for a complex region, it can be worth it.
    Hope this helps,
    Arie.
    Sorry, I didn’t see Scott post.

  • Can itunes playback be paused when another application (such as Quicktime) plays audio?

    I listen to music using iTunes all the time on my Mac. However I am constantly having to listen to snippits of audio from recordings that I have made, and I would ideally like to briefly pause iTunes during playback.
    Is there a way to automatically cause iTunes to pause its playback when another application generates audio output? When you make a call on Skype this seems happens, and so I just want to replicate this functionality on other applications that can play back audio files.
    PS: I know I can simply go to iTunes and pause it, but hey, this is all about finding really easy ways to do things you do a lot and it's annoying (and distracting) to have to do all those extra keystrokes.
    thanks

    Hate to say it but its still a problem with iTunes although better with 7.0.1.... at least on the Win side of things.

    please help

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • HT1766 what if it doesnt let you back up the ipod can u still restore it?

    my ipod is locked and disabled. i cant exactly open the settings to do a back up and im wondering if theres an easier way to restore it without the back up process needed.

    You'll need to manually place the iPod in recovery mode first and then connect it to iTunes and restore it.  See this article for getting the iPod into recovery mode.
