IPod Connection Error -- Please Help

Hey there -- I'd love it if a Mac genius could help me out with this. I recently gave my 4G iPod to my roommate when I got a 5G. I tried to connect it to his iBook and it stopped updating after about 70 songs. I reset the iPod's software to factory settings and it still happens.
He's got an 833MHz G3 iBook, and I'm connecting a 4G iPod that's never given me any problems.
iTunes tries to update for a while, then gives me a message that the copying failed and that the iPod cannot be read from or written to. But it did copy a few songs before failing, so it's not like nothing was copied.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Does the iPod mount? Make sure it is in disk mode
from iTunes prefs. Open disk utility and you can try
erasing and reformatting if your iPod is visible as
one of the HDs.
After you reformat with Mac OS Extended (journalled).
Try running the updater and restore again.
Is there a good charge on the iPod?
I just did that and I thought it worked, but then I got the same error.
I used Disk Utility to reformat into Mac OS Extended (journalled) and then I used the iPod Updater to restore to factory settings. When I plugged in my iPod, it transferred about 300 songs, then stopped with that same error message.
Yes, the iPod is fully charged.
Wow, what else can I try at this point?

Connection Error Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

I have Nokia 5230 it has Symbian 9.4, 5th Edition
I am having some strange problem with my mobile, don't know what to do.
So here is my problem :-
When i insert Tata Docomo Sim Card in my 5230, and whenever i try to call any one it says Connection Error and am not able to call anyone, nor able to receive any, although the network signal is full.
When i removed Docomo simcard, and inserted Reliance in 5230, than it works fine and i am able to send & receive calls.
When i put that Same Docomo simcard in Motorola, than it also works fine.
Why does Docomo simcard shows Connection Error in Nokia and works fine in Motorola??
So i am freaked out. What exactly the problem is ??????

Sometimes if a phone is branded (or even if it's not) you may need to contact whoever supplies your sim card to get them to send the settings required to your handset, try contacting your service provider, they should be able to solve your problem. This doesn't seam to be a Nokia/Handset problem !!
Good Luck

IChat connection error, please help!

I've tried searching previous posts for a solution to this problem, but can't seem to find a solution. I don't understand what is causing this error.
Please help.
Whenever I try to use iChat, I'm able to send 1 or 2 messages...then it crashes and kills my DSL. I changed the port from 5190 to 443 and it hasn't fixed the problem. Reconfiguring the DSL is never consistent, so it's extremely frustrating!
I'm not sure what information is needed to help diagnose and fix this problem, let me know if you need additional info.
Quad processor G5, OS X 10.4.9
No router, just a DSL modem (ZyXel Prestige 645M-UHP)
iChat AV 3
Server: login.oscar.aol.com
Port: 443
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi lovbaerry,
The 645M-... Is not listed on the Port Forward site.
The base 645 is here Now this may not have the same screens as yours.
However have you opened the ports for iChat in it ?
Does your have UPnP ? (I can not tell from the pics on that site)

IPod Connection issue - Please Help...!

I have a strange problem! My iPod does not connect (any more) to Windows (and hence not iTunes). I have seen lots of other people raising this problem, but mine is slightly different. What happens is that when I connect the iPod, it IS initially picked up by Windows (Vista), the computer makes a 'dun 'sound, and if I'm quick, I can see it in the Devices area (under Storage). But then within a second or two there is another 'dun' sound, anmd the iPod disappears. It never gets as far as saying 'unrecognised device'.
Incidentally, the iPod (event though not recogised) does charge up through the USB port, and (incidentally) other devices (e.g. pen drive) work on the port.
Any GURU's out there that can help me. I'm desperate! I need some podcasts!!!
Thanks

Go to your "Device Manager" which is under the Hardware tab in System (at least on WinXP). There, you'll probably see the device is having an issue, a yellow "!" or a red "x". First, try updating the driver, if that doesn't fix it ... delete the device from the system. Then restart and reconnect it, let windows automatically install the device again, and it should work again.
I don't know why this happens, but if you look carefully through the forum here, you'll see it seems to be happening quite a bit with Windows XP and Vista.

Ipod connection problem, please help!!

Hi
The problem is when i plug my ipod nano, into my computer the new hardware sound happens and it shows up in device manager and disk management but doesnt come up in itunes, my computer or ipod updater. I have tried the 5 r's (cant restore because it doesnt show up) and tried changing the drive letter. i have recently upgraded motherboard and it has stopped working since then so i am guessing it is something to do with that. (also it works on other computers)
Thanks Joss

HotSpot Shield sounds like that may be the issue--especially if your IP address is different.

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1441?viewlocale=it_it
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,
Mario

cont contact apple server error please help with ipad touch 4. im just fed up with apple please help me because why is it only apple with these kind of problems?

If you mean updae server
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Otherwise what server are you talking about

Dreamweaver CS6 - internal data error - PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
I'm experiencing an internal data error on Dreamweaver CS6.
I've tried all the things on the forums like deleting your cache, if that's not working deleting the whole cs6 folder, I've reinstalled and still its happening.
Very frustrating, need to update clients websites and I can not connect.
Please help!!!!
Regards Stephanie

Which operating system?
Is DW installed on your primary hard drive?
When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences

If all else fails, use the CS Cleaner Tools below to wipe CS6 off your hard drive followed by a software re-install.

Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!

Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!
Hi,
I have the following set up:
* Lenovo T-61p
* Windows XP Pro, SP 3
* HP Photosmart 8250 printer (with nothing plugged into the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer)
I am getting the following error:
Windows - No Disk
Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x75CE023C
0x84C40C84 0x75CE023C
I have done a lof experimenting and thru process of elimination, and believe I have determined that this only happens when the HP Photosmart 8250 printer is plugged in to the USB slot of the computer.
I can stop it from happening by safely removing hardware, and removing the drive that the 8250 creates on your computer when you plug it in. In my case, this is drive E. I'm guessing if there was something in the the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer, that's what those would be, but I don't those use those functions of the printer.
I understand there is more at work than simply the printer, because I did not used to get this error, so some software changed as well, that is scanning all ports, and finding a drive that has no disk, and producing the error.
A simple google search finds a lot people all over the world having this problem, and are solving it in different ways, because the suspected source is different: Norton, HP, etc.
I have tried everything I have read, and the only thing that works was my own idea, of manually safely removing the drive the printer creates each time I plug in the printer.
Anyone every any better, more permanent solutions? Or know what the real root of the problem is? What is scanning all the drives and being showing an error message because it found an empty drive?
Thanks and Happy Holidays/New Year!

I've been getting the same error on my 4G nano for the past week. I've had my nano for about a month and the first few weeks were fine. Tried it on 2 different computers (Vista and XP) and same problem. Tried it on a 3rd (XP) and it started ok. Problem started coming back after a day.
I was able to find a quick fix though. I noticed that sometimes the message says something like "iexplore.exe... no disk..." even if I don't even use IE. What I do is end iexplore.exe on task manager before running iTunes and syncing my nano. I don't get the error whenever I do this, but one drawback is that the contents of my nano suddenly pops up in a window - even when disk use is not enabled.
I've reset/restored my nano dozens and dozens of times to make sure it's clean. Leads me to believe it's a driver issue. Either that or I have a friggin malware problem I can't seem to find.
I'll be posting updates every now and then. I'm no expert so I'm hoping an Apple expert also steps in to give some input.

You cannot use it. You would have had to set it up on your ipod itself before you lost it. Since you did not "turn on the icloud", then you have not set up find my ipod.
Sorry.
There is no way to track your ipod.
