Ipod claims there is a "new user"

Hello. I connected my iPod today, and a message came up in iTunes saying that "there is a new user using the iTunes software, please ask user to log off." problem is, i don't know what that means. I have a vague assumption. But i haven't connected my iPod to any other computer or anything. Can Anybody help with this?

this simple means that u must only use the ipod software with one suer. If ther are other users accounts on ure computer log them out and try again. if not restart the computer and then try without logging into any one else user account.

  • Freaky new User log-in option at start-up-arrgrhghghhh

    When I start-up (10.4...) I am presented with the log-in screen per my usual preference settings - I recently had to reset my passwords using the install cd to access the options for such a task (don't ask). Everything went as planned but when the computer restarted, in addition to my usual list of users there was a new user, listed as 'Other' and if selected a screen opens presenting spaces to type in a User Name and User Passwork.
    When I check my system prefs>Accounts, this new 'Other' is not listed. How do I make it go away?! It's freaking me out. MANY THANKS!

  • Gmail created a new user account on my MBP

    This morning I restarted my machine and was shocked there was a new user account in my start-up menu by the name of 'Gmail'. No one has had physical access to my computer. Have I been hacked by google? I've noticed a lot of google updater activity of late. Is this a possibility?

    It sounds like you have seriously been hacked. Even if your Mac's ports are closed now, it's possible, even likely, that major damage has already been done. Your system software could have been modified and your Mac might now be being used to attack others, or to mine personal data from you and send it to a remote computer. The creation of a new user account without your knowledge indicates to me that major damage has already been done and needs to be repaired right away. To fix it:
    1) Immediately disconnect your Mac from the internet and from any other network
    2) Back up your personal documents and files
    3) Reformat your hard drive and restore everything from a old backup you made before the intrusion started
    4) Change all of your passwords and ensure all unneeded ports are closed.
    5) Reconnect the internet and restore your personal files and documents from your latest backup.
    If you have no such older backup, you'll need to follow these steps instead:
    1) Immediately disconnect your Mac from the internet and from any other network
    2) Back up your personal documents
    3) Reformat your hard drive, and reinstall Mac OS X and all of your Apple and third party applications from the original CDs.
    4) Make sure you choose passwords that are different from any you might have used before. Ensure that he firewall is on and all unneeded ports are closed.
    5) Reconnect the internet and run Software Update to make sure all of your system software is up to date.
    6) Update any of your third party applications.
    7) Restore your personal files and documents from your latest backup.

  • I have an Ipod Nano 6th Gen.  I have been getting the error 13019.  It puts the song title into my playlist, but the song isn't there when I disconnect, and find the song.  Everything is up to date.  I have tried to create a new user, and nothing works.

    I have tried putting music onto it, and it puts it on the playlist, but when I disconnect, it isn't there.  I have also tried creating a new user, and still get the error.  Please Help!!!  Thanx!

    Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
    Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.

  • Creating a new user to synch ipod, ipad and iphone?

    Hi,
    Apologies if this has been covered before. I'm in the middle of moving from the UK to the US. My "real" computer is in transit and I won't have access to it for a few weeks. I'm traveling with an ipad, ipod touch and I've just picked up a us iphone. I'd like to synch everything up, esp the apps between the devices I've brought with me from the UK and the iphone I've just bought.
    My partner has his powerbook with him running the latest version of osx. Could I set up a second user account on his machine and synch apps, update locations on the UK devices via itunes on his machine? I don't want to interfere with his existing itunes config, if that makes sense.
    Thanks!
    Pete

    That would be feasible. But understand that iDevice syncing is basically one way - computer to iDevice. Since the new user account is essentially empty, when you sync you will lose most everything on your iDevices, except the iPhone which is already empty.
    To avoid this you need to start with your iPhone (nothing to lose) so you can then configure iTunes NOT to automatically sync when a device is connected. Then you need a third-party utility that can be used to transfer the contents of your other iDevices into the iTunes session you are setting up in the new user account. There are a lot of utilities for this such as Pod2Mac, PhoneDisk, etc. Look for them at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. Use one or more of these utilities to copy the contents of your iDevices to the iTunes account. Once that's done then you won't lose that data when you sync.
    One problem with the above is I don't know what you can do about your contacts, calendar, and email. You will need to arrange to get that data transferred as well. If you have a MobileMe account then all that data is on MobileMe so you can sync it to your iDevices via MobileMe.

  • Syncing iPod to new user account-need advice

    Hey All! I set up a new user account for my friend on my imac, so he will want to sync his iPod Touch to iTunes, iPhoto, iCal, etc. in his new user account. I know there are plenty of freeware and shareware apps to get his music from the iPod into iTunes, but need advice concerning everything else oh his iPod.
    I know I'll first get that pop up window that says his iPod is synced to another computer, and that I use "cancel" rather than "sync and erase". After doing that, I guess I use one of the shareware apps to get the music transferred over.
    Now, after that, if I do a regular sync, will iTunes transfer his apps that are on the iPod?
    Do I need to open iPhoto and download the photos on his iPod into iPhotot before doing a sync?
    What about text messages? Will they remain in tact?
    I don't think he uses the calendar on his iPod so no worries there....
    What about Playlists that he has on the iPod? Will just the music transfer with the shareware apps or playlists also?
    Will Notes be saved?
    Thanks for your help. Don't wanna screw up his iPod by setting up this user account for him.

    Apps are tied to the ID I assume the new account is just on the iMac and not a new iTunes account?
    Yes, you can import photos into iPhoto the same as you would off any camera.
    You would need to transfer purchased content (like apps). You can't do that via sync as it's a new computer and all content will be erased as you are aware.

  • My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvagable with my itunes library on it.  My ipod touch has all of my music still on it.  Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer??

    My laptop recently crashed and is unsalvageable with my itunes library on it.  My ipod still has all of my music still on it. 
    Is there a way that I can put the songs on my ipod onto itunes on my new computer without loosing them or having to buy them all over again?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • I am unable to synch music from selected playlists in my iTunes library onto my new iPod Classic, despite meticulously following the User Guide.

    I just purchased an iPod Classic, and after making sure I had the latest ver. of iTunes on my Intel MacMini, printed out the User Guide and carefully began learning how to operate the iPod. My first step was to ensure I had manual control (vs. auto synch) because I want only selected songs and playlists on the iPod, not my whole iTunes Library.
    On pg. 24 of the Guide is the topic "Synching music from selected playlists onto iPod Classic." Just what I wanted. OK, I selected iPod "in the source list" (aside: Shouldn't it be "in the device list?" I dispair of imprecision). This brought up the iPod Summary page, showing I had selected Open iTunes when connected and Manually manage music and videos. Next I clicked on the Music tab.
    This presented me with Synch Music next to an empty check box. Below it, and entirely grayed out was:
    Entire music library (showing a checked box)
    Selected Playlists, artists, albums and genres (next to an unchecked box).
    There's also a third grayed out item: Include music videos that is checked.
    When I selected Synch Music, I got the message: "Are you sure you want to removed existing mlusic, movies and TV shows from the iPod and synch with this iTunes LIbrary?   I selected Cancel because:
    1. The grayed option Entire Music Library is checked, not mly preferred option of Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres. .
    2. I can't find anywhere in the User Guide how to "Select the Playlists" I want to synch to my iPod. At present all I have in iTunes is my list of playlists in the left hand side bar.
    OK, my first thought was the checked box in the iPod's Summary window: Manually manage music and videos. So I went there and unchecked it, which immediately brought up an alert  to the effect "Are you sure you want to automatically synch your entire iTunes library, etc. etc...? I quickly cancelled. Thus, I seem to be in a Catch-22 situation. 
    So the questions are:
    How do I resolve the Synch Music issue so I am assured only selected playlists will be sent to my iPod?
    How do I create a list of playlists in my iTunes library to be transferred to my iPod?
    How do I manually move a playlist in my iTunes library to my iPod's lists of playlists?
    Any help much appreciated. Thanks to all.

    For the immediately problem, you can shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.
    There may be a process (program) running on your computer in the background that continuously monitors mounted volumes for things like maintenance, data corruption, and malware.  The iPod's storage is a mounted volume.  If you know of any such program, such as an "anti-virus" utility, and it has settings that allow you to exclude certain volumes, you can set it to ignore the iPod "disk" when connected.
    Also, if you are using automatic syncing (not the manual method) to load the iPod, and you have Enable disk use turned ON, turn it OFF.  With Enable disk use turned OFF, iTunes only mounts the iPods disk when syncing, then immediately unmounts the disk.  Thus, other processes you have running on your PC (not iTunes) will have less of a chance to make the disk "in use" and cause this problem.  You won't even have to eject the iPod before disconnecting.

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

    My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
    It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

    thank you for the tip.
    Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
    Thanks again for the help.

    Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists.  If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.
