Ipod doesn't work on mac

My ipod shuffle says I need to restore my ipod, but i can't, because I need the adminnistrator's name and password, but I can't get it from him, because were not supposed to download music. Can I get some help?

Sorry, Julian, but there's no way around that problem that I know of. It looks like you'll have to restore your iPod on your own system.

  • IPod doesn't work after mac connection

    i don't know why my mini ipod doesn't work anymore (it doesn't read the songs!) after i connected it with an imac g3. i started my ipod with a pc... and transfered a program for mac with it... then i connected it with the mac and now it doesn't read the mp3... suggestions?

    Try to do a Reset and a Restore, bear in mind please make sure that you have all the music with your iTunes on your computer, as doing a Restore will erase all the data in your iPod

  • Windows iPod doesn't work on Mac after iTunes 5 update

    Hi. I have a windows formatted 2nd (touch wheel) generation 10gig iPod. I also have an iBook G4. The windows iPod always worked on my Mac until I updated from iTunes 4.9 to iTunes 5. I have the latest iTunes software, but now I can't put songs on my iPod. (I use automatic update.) What's more, whenever I plug in my iPod, my iBook deletes some of my songs from the iPod, and says that the iPod software needs to be updated. When I tried to update it, it said that the iBook couldn't do it because it's a Windows-formatted iPod. It's all a mess. Can anyone help?

    Are you trying to switch to mac or to use two different computers?
    There are a lot of threads dealing with using an iPod on both PCs and Macs at the same time. I believe there is a problem if you try to do automatic uploads from iTunes from both computers, but check the discussions specific to that.
    If you are switching, your life would be easier if you reformatted the iPod to HFS+ (mac format)

    Did you close the disc, or leave it open for further burning sessions?

  • IPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

    iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

    At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

  • [BUG]: MakeWritable doesn't work for mac

    I'm trying to use oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.MakeWritableHelper in my plugin, and I found it doesn't work for MAC. The byte code shows it only check the osname for "Windows" and "Linux".
    and some Jdeveloper refactoring feature failed due to can't make file writable, they may also related to this class.

    My MAC version is OSX 10.5.4.
    I don't have a stacktrace. It just fails silently.
    You can easily reproduce this bug by reformat a readonly file.
    Here is the code I reverse engineered from oracle.jdeveloper.refactoring.util.Util.java:
    public static boolean setReadOnly(java.net.URL url, boolean readOnly)
    boolean ret = false;
    java.lang.String cmdarray[] = null;
    java.lang.String platformPathName = oracle.ide.net.URLFileSystem.getPlatformPathName(url);
    java.lang.String osName = java.lang.System.getProperty("os.name", "");
    if(osName.startsWith("Windows"))
    cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
    "ATTRIB", readOnly ? "+R" : "-R", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
    else
    if(platformPathName.equalsIgnoreCase("Linux"))
    cmdarray = (new java.lang.String[] {
    "chmod", readOnly ? "u-w" : "u+w", (new StringBuilder()).append('"').append(platformPathName).append('"').toString()
    if(cmdarray != null)
    java.lang.Runtime runtime = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
    try
    java.lang.Process process = runtime.exec(cmdarray);
    if(process.waitFor() == 0)
    ret = (new File(platformPathName)).canWrite();
    if(ret)
    oracle.ide.model.Node node = oracle.ide.model.NodeFactory.find(url);
    if(node instanceof oracle.ide.model.TextNode)
    oracle.ide.model.TextNode textNode = (oracle.ide.model.TextNode)node;
    textNode.isReadOnly();
    catch(java.io.IOException e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    catch(java.lang.InterruptedException e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    return ret;
    }

  • Account doesn't work on Mac Mail but does on iPhone

    I have a IMAP email account with my company that works on my iPhone and in Entourage but doesn't work in Mac Mail. I have tried to copy the settings and even did a full erase and reinstall of Leopard and no one has an idea why it won't work, the hosting company or Pro Care. Any idea out there?

    No idea what  "My apple ID account doesn't work on my itunes but it does on the web" means.
    Please explain

  • I made a mistake of trying to put 5.0.1 beta 1 firmware on my ipod touch 3rd gen. Now the ipod doesn't work at all. Any suggestions?

    I made a mistake of trying to put 5.0.1 beta 1 firmware on my ipod touch 3rd gen ( non-registered) unsuccessfully. Now the ipod doesn't work at all with any public firmware. Any suggestions?

    You can try putting the iPod into Recovery Mode and restoring it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that doesn't work, you'll need to take this up in the forums to which you have access as a member of Apple's iOS developer program.

  • Both Chrome and Safari interrupt online streaming to request/demand an update for a PC program that doesn't work on Macs. What is going on?

    Both Chrome and Safari interrupt online streaming to request/demand an update for a PC program that doesn't work on Macs. What is going on?

    The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
    You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
    If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're almost certainly the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
    The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
    After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
    Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
    1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
    2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
    3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
    During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
    Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
    If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

  • Software doesn't work on mac

    hi, i just got an airbook. i have never had a mac before. it is nice, but my language software ( digital publishing) doesn't work on mac, but i don't want xp or vista on my computer. are there any patches or other software which could make my language software work? thanks

    *"are there any patches or other software which could make my language software work?"*
    You could try CrossoverMac from Codeweavers.com
    Otherwise, you'll need to see if there is a Mac version of your software, or else install Windows on your Mac.
