Ipod error won't go away

My ipod says "Firewire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided. Press center to dismiss". When I press the centre the message just comes back on, and when I connect my USB cable my computer says that Windows does not recognize it. My Ipod will charge and update new songs, but it won't turn off.

Hi phishy75,
Have you tried resetting your iPod? To reset an iPod:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times.
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
If that doesn't work, then try forcing your iPod into disk mode, by following the steps here:
Putting iPod into disk mode
With the iPod in disk mode, connect it to your computer, and try restoring it in iTunes.
If you don't have any success with that (or getting the iPod recognized in iTunes for a restore), then you may just need to let the iPod's battery run down.

Help! Network error won't go away

I was setting up my Mac G4 running Tiger and was going to connect it to the network. I opened the Network Prefs and I get a drop-down error message that says "Your Network settings have been changed by another application."
This error message won't go away; if I click OK then the message just comes back. I have to force quit Network Preferences. There is no way to access network prefs while the error message appears. This message appears whether I'm connected (via ethernet) to the router or not.
I don't know what application could have changed my settings or how to change them back or how to make that error message go away. Any suggestions? Thanx.

Hi Ken,
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
Try this cure for Security update...

I got a big red X on my iPod that won't go away! Help!

So yes, l do have this big red X on my iPod (l'm thinking this is like red ring on an Xbox 360), and no matter how many times i reset it, it won't go away.
I'm thinking this time is no trick, it's messed up. What can i do?
- l did try and connect it to my computer, but it resets, and shows the red X again. It's not even showing up on iTunes, so i can't restore it.
What should i do?!
- It also shows the website "www.apple.com/support/ipod", and when i go there,
it does nothing for me.

Spotlight problem: privacy list error won't go away

My Spotlight suddenly stopped being able to find anything. So I tried dragging the main disk's icon onto (and then off of) the Privacy tab of Spotlight, to ask it to re-index. But it gave me the Privacy Index error. So I went to Terminal and did sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight-V100, which succeeded, but: the privacy list error is still there, and oddly - the one thing that used to be in my privacy tab is still there! I thought that info was somewhere in the /.Spotlight-V100/... folder - how is it still there?!? What's a better way to wipe that info and ask Spolight to re-do everything?

I'm ruddy well frustrated
And we understand that. Most of us have been in similar situations. But troubleshooting a problem is hard enough in real life. When all we have to go on is words typed here, it's of the utmost importance to be painstakingly precise. In your case, it is very often the solution to reboot the iPod while it's plugged into the wall, and you had never stated clearly that you had done that. Go back and read your previous posts if you doubt it. If we are able to help each other, we have to know exactly what has happened, and even then it's not easy. And again, we are all just fellow users who come here voluntarily to help each other, so all getting mad at us does is make people not want to help you.
There are several things that might be going wrong, but one that I would test is your cable. Perhaps some of the wires inside have broken and that's why it's not realizing it is plugged into the wall outlet. Do you have a friend that you can borrow a cable from to test that out? (And to answer your question about the dock, it won't make any difference.)

Popup Error - Won't Go Away

Recurring pop-up window on boot:
Popup Error
Failed to listen for incoming Popup jobs. You will not be able to use Popup printing for the duration of this session. Please report this incident to a system administrator.
How do I make this go away? I just upgraded my MacBook from Tiger to Leopard, everything else seems to work fine except for this strange error message. I haven't figured out what Popup printing is, don't really care. Just want this to go away.
Thanks...

I am having the same issue. Popup printing, I believe, involves printing over a network. For example, at school, I can print from my Mac to any access printer on the school's network through popup printing. It's a great feature, but isn't working because I'm getting this message error as well. I am making a list of all the problems I've had with Leopard since installing. I should be studying but instead I'm having to fix my Mac. Never thought I'd say that. Please, if anyone can help, I need my printer back.

Cannot verify server error won't go away

I can not get this error to go away. I tried restoring on pc but have windows 8 and it's not recognizing the ipad. Any other ideas?

Three things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Registration Unsuccessful error won't go away

Registration Unsuccessful error message appears every time I open Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard. I recently loaded it onto new computer running Windows 8.1 and successfully registered it. I spoke to tech support and they confirm that it is registered on my new computer. I have tried all the options: submit again, register later and never register but it still comes up every time. Tech support did not know how to stop the message from appearing and suggested I ask the community. I tried the registry fix someone posted for Windows 7 but the path was not the same. I found the Adobe Viewer and changed it as recommended but it didn't work. Please don't recommend I purchase a newer copy of Acrobat - no money left after getting the new computer and A8 meets all my needs. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Jodiwer,
ThankYou for posting on the forums, Adobe Acrobat 8 is not compatible with windows 7 and above.
Thanks,

Snapshot too old error won't go away ...

I am Oracle 10.2.0.3 on HP UNIX.
I have a 80GB database. I am doing full export with consistent=Y. I get following error towards the end of export:
. Exporting referential integrity constraints
. exporting stored procedures
. exporting operators
. exporting indextypes
. exporting bitmap, functional and extensible indexes
. exporting posttables actions
. exporting triggers
. exporting materialized views
. exporting snapshot logs

ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 2 with name "_SYSSMU2$" too small

No other jobs are running or even users accessing the database at the time of export database. My undo table space size is now 6GB (I had started with 2GB and increasing it to 6GB) has not helped. Is there a way to consistently get rid of the error? I am assuming rest of my export is still valid.

What's the size of the UNDO tablespace? Just increase it

Backup Assistant Plus error won't go away.

Hello,
After Backup Assistant Plus was pushed to my phone i keep getting an application error:
Is there a way to disable Backup+ since i will probably never use it.
This is on a Samsung Stratosphere device.
Thanks,

Hi NickM219,
Application errors are no good! I know its important to have a properly working phone at all times. Let's get this resolved. If you are not going to use this great feature, you can remove it via MyVerizon http://bit.ly/xB4iTc . Sign in>Click " " sign next to I want to>Plan>Change features>Remove Backup assistant plus> save changes. The device will no longer prompt you to use this application, however the app icon will remain on the device. Keep me posted.
Thanks,

IPod Touch won't sync, false "this cable or accessory is not certified" and several other errors

Helping my dad long-distance with his iPod Touch 5th generation, running 8.1.1.
He's having several problems trying to sync the thing:
1) "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with your iPod" error, even though he's using the cable that came with the device, when connecting to his Mac. (This happens with both certified Apple cables he owns.)
1.1) He's unable to take screenshots of this error, even though he can take screenshots of any other screen.
2) Won't charge when connected to his Mac (does charge when connected to his 5w cube).
3) Connecting to Mac dones't launch iTunes, but does launch iPhoto.
4) Sometimes, even after launching iTunes manually, the iPod doesn't show up.
5) We we can get the iPod and iTunes to talk to each other, he gets 7/8ths through syncing, then gets the error "Some of the videos in your iTunes Library, including the video IMG0925.jpg, were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod." — yes, the "videos" that won't "play" on his iPod are all JPEGs.
6) When clicking [OK] to clear problem #5, it's always followed by "iTunes cannot back up the iPod (device name) because an error occurred." Even though it was 7/8ths done before the error occurred.
7) Issue 5 and 6 occur when connected to the Mac over wifi too. (We've tried with wifi backup both off and on.)
7) He's randomly prompted for his iCloud password at least 3-4 times a week. Entering it doesn't make this problem go away.
8) Tried to update to 8.1.2 (hoping it would fix some of these issues), but after tapping [Agree] in the overlay screen, he's taken back to the T&C screen with [Decline] and [Agree] buttons at the bottom, and NOTHING happens.
So we he back up via any means, he can't upgrade, and we can't wipe and restore because he'll lose a month's worth of updates to calendar and address book.
I'm know my way around Mac and iOS, and I'm stumped. Anybody got anything?

#1
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ghost Rental in my IPOD Video Library...there's a video that I rented that won't go away...how to remove?

I rented a video on my ipod, watched it, and now it won't go away. I can't rewatch it either. When I sync, it is not on the computer as far as rentals. Can anyone help me remove this?

See if you have enabled 'VoiceOver'…
Open Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accessibility, select VoiceOver in the sidebar list, disable that if it is enabled. You may also see a keyboard shortcut listed there (e.g. cmd+F5), it's possible you hit that accidentally

Need Help - ipod video in trouble - white screen won't go away - help??

White Scree appears and won't go away. Can someone help?

Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps.
Reset the iPod.
If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
How to put the iPod into disk mode.
Now connect the iPod to the computer. This step may immediately take you to the iPod's normal display screen. Reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
If you still have the white screen, then you should use the updater to restore the iPod.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure). In my experience, the software updater for version 1.1.1 takes longer to complete the process than previous updaters.
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.
See: iPod service request.

DFS Error 9061 (Replicated folder offline for too long) won't go away

We have a server that got disconnected from a DFS replication group for too long. The error says to remove the server from the group and re-add it. I've done that about 6 times and I keep getting the error. I even tried deleting the replicated folder on
the server so it would copy from other servers but the error just won't go away. How can I get rid of it and get the folder replicating again?

Hi,
Based on your description, we can try to following the steps described in the section

The screen is telling you to restore the iPod via iTunes. You have to do that.
