Ipod Installer not allowing download

9 times out of ten, my ipod is not recognized by my Mac. I am now attempting to restore the ipod, and have downloaded the most recent version of the ipod installer. On the screen entitled "Installation Type" I am not allowed to choose the installer. It tells me:
"You cannot continue. There is nothing to install."
I have erased and redownloaded the installer to see if it was a bad download, but keep having the same problem. If anyone has any idea why this continues to occur, please let me know.
Thanks!

it's driving me bonkers!

  • After install of Mountain Lion I have no facetime. It is nowhere in hd and ap store will not allow download. Will I need to re-instal ML in order to get it back??

    After install of Mountain Lion I have no facetime. It is nowhere in hd and ap store will not allow download.
    Will I need to re-instal ML in order to get it back?

    Where are you, geographically?
    I might suggest:
    Give this a try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    After this is completed download and install 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo).
    If this doesn't work, then reinstall Mountain Lion:

    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Is anyone else having issues if they purchased a Season and it is NOW not allowing downloads without charging again

    is anyone else having issues if they purchased a Season and it is NOW not allowing downloads without charging again
    I get my email to download then ... it won't.   I go to the store and its showing charges again... rather than PURCHASED

    Not just you. I too am having this issue including with a movie I just purchased.
    If you follow mario49's advice they will eventually help you by posting the purchases to your account again (not actually fixing the current issue) but be VERY specific with them and be prepared to explain your issue about 4 times (I have taken to just copy and pasting) before they actually read what you told them and help out.
    e-mail 1: Response was to explain the difference between a season pass and individual orders (even though I attached the season pass order number to the issue message).
    e-mail 2: Reponse explained how to redownload episodes again (even though I had clearly stated it was a latest episode on a season pass).
    e-mail 3: I may have yelled a little bit here.
    e-mail 4: This one was a complaint about the pre-order that was charged but also now giving me the "you haven't paid for this" message. I attached the earlier complaint # to this one and got they same service person. This time he re-posted every episode from the above season pass to my account and my movie so I got the new episode I was looking for and about 5 others I was not.
    Now I just have to go through all of this for my other 11 season passes that won't download either.
    Good Luck.

    PS is it just me or does everyone get the impression Apple has now farmed out thier customer service to Mircosoft?

  • Why does ipod does not allow to download free app free??

  • OVi Player does not allow download music with prox...

    Hello,
     i've noticed that OVI Player deos not allow to download music when I am inside the firewall or under a corporate proxy. ANy idea if this is a restriction from Nokia Player or is it specific to my connection ?

    Dear svenks,
    If you scroll down the discussion topics, you will realise many other users are facing music download problem after upgrading from Nokia Music to Ovi Player.
    Same for me, whether I connect my WinXP Prof 32-bit notebk behind my company firewall or at my home's ADSL broadband with Windows Firewall off, antivirus off, http://music.ovi.com set as trusted site, the downloading still fails.
    Per advised by Nokia careline, I have already sent them a log file and now waiting for their investigation.
    I wonder if anyone in the world is currently successful in downloading songs using Ovi Player. If yes, I would really like to know what PC configuration they are running under.

  • Installer not allowing selection of hard drive

    I am atempting to install final cut express hd and at the select a destination step. The hard drive is in the window but it is not allowing me to select it. Below the window there is a message "some volumes are unavailable until the installer has finished processing". I've now been waiting 20 minutes.
    Thanks,

    I'm having a similar problem, except on a G4...
    Did you ever resolve the issue?

  • I am receiving a message saying that my security settings will not allow download of apps except from app store or certain vendors. How can I turn this off?

    Can anyone tell me how to turn off the setting that will not allow me to open any app other than one from apple or "selected" others. Unable to open Quickeys and install after download. Thanx   Sam

    Open the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, unlock it, and allow applications from anywhere. Alternatively, launch each application by control-clicking it and choosing Open.

  • Why does the Grid Installer not allow the creation of multiple disk groups?

    Ok I finally managed to get the ASM disks to be visible for the Installer. But now I want to create three disk groups (OCRVOTE,FRA and DATA), but the installer only allows me to create one disk group. Do I have to create other disk groups manually later?

    Hi,
    as Igoroshka said during the GI installation you create one diskgroup.
    Your screenshot show me that you create 3 disks OCRVOTE01-03. In 12c the the OCR and Voting is placed inside the default diskgroup which is normally DATA.
    You can check this via "query votedisk".
    May be you create these disks while you would like to move ocr and vote in a separate diskgroup you can do this after the installation is finished.
    kind regards

  • Standalone Installer Not allowing install of Remote Server Admin Tools

  • AppStore does not allow downloading Chrome

    Does anyone else have the same problem and preferrably a solution for this
    Leaving aside all the stupid changes Apple's new management has allowed to ruin user experience (except swipe in iOS7), does anybody have the same problem that AppStore blocks download of Chrome in iPhone4/4S? I end up with the following problem with iOS6/iOS7.
    With iOS6
    Chrome is visible in Store, and installing starts normally like with any application, BUT: AppStore downloads the app for a while and then suddenly claims connection to AppStore lost (or something similar). I tested immediately another application and no problem, it had to do something with server (for sure)
    Since my iPhone 4S with iOS6 was like **** compared to my iPhone 4S with iOS5, I installed iOS7 hoping for a new start.
    With iOS7
    This time Appstore allows me to proceed one step further: I get all the way to approval of the new user term (this 59 page legal document nobody really reads and cannot be thus considered legally binding ... well ... at least in my country)
    BUT, there is only a cancel button!! How the %¤#"! am I supposed to get forwards as there is NO button to  approve and proceed ?!?!?
    Almost like someone would deliberately try blocking  Chrome usage in iPhone, but obviously it is not that, just a software feature.
    Any solution to fix this, other than going for Samsung and Android?

    Please feel free to leave.

  • Ipod classic not allowing access to to music or pod casts - shows zero files in music and pod cast but used space shows 3/4 full it is recognized by itunes sometimes on my pc but unable to view content

    ipod classic shows disk 3/4 full  but when i look in the folders  it shows zero for music and zero for podscasts. i can not access these folders on the ipod or when it does connect to my windows computer thru itunes.  it does not connect 90% of the time now.  i let it check the disk when it was connected to my pc which did not good  -  any other ideas?  other than restore?

    Your iPod filesystem is corrupted, so your music and podcastr is in the Others, this is most likely caused by a slow USB connection, which timeout during sync.
    Try the Hard Reset first
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    Then do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, in this earlier post by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but help you decide if your iPod is dying and causing the timeouts.
    Have a nice day!

  • Firefox or Adobe will not allow downloading useable PDF files anymore. Started with last update of Adobe/Firefox.

    For the last few days, I think it was after an update in Firefox or an update in Adobe reader, I cannot save a PDF file from the web and then open it with either Adobe Reader or PDFlite.
    The file opens and I can read it just fine within Firefox using Adobe Reader, I guess as a plug in.
    But if I save the file as a PDF it saves just fine, with a PDF extension, but when I try to read the PDF file with Adobe or PDFlite it gives an error message - "Adobe Reader could not open <filename> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    I download a lot of datasheets so this is suddenly a major problem for me.
    Thanks - Don

    Hi Don, there might not be an advantage for you if Adobe works well for you. There are some articles on the motivation for developing a non-proprietary PDF reader -- which is definitely a work-in-progress -- but I don't have the references handy.
    Let me tackle some of those individual items:
    (1) Unknown publisher warning. This is odd, do you notice that with any other downloads?
    It might be a feature of Windows download security. By default, Firefox marks downloads as having come from the internet. You can turn that off by turning off Firefox's antivirus integration. Your real-time AV software still will check files once they are downloaded; this feature is really for people who do not have full-time AV, only on-demand AV.
    To toggle that setting:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful. This is Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
    (ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to switch it from true to false. You're done with about:config.
    Does that affect the warning?
    (2) Where do you see "Save as PDF"?
    I have "Save Page As" on the menu. That worked when I tried a simple PDF. By worked I mean it opened without complaint in Adobe Reader. I suspect it's doing the same thing as the download button.

  • IPod shuffle not allowing me to hear the left earpiece

    I've tried three different earphones. When the earphones are completely plugged in, I cannot hear the left earpiece. When I pull the connector slightly out I am able to hear from the left earpiece, but then the right one stops working. Is there any way to fix this? Do I need to buy a new iPod shuffle?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Given that refurb 2nd Gen shuffles are $39 at online Apple Store and NEW ones are $49 everywhere they're sold it's probably not worth trying to fix what might very well be a broken connector inside the shuffle. For more information, go to ifixit.com and peruse the guide for 1st Gen shuffle...

  • ITunes Store will not allow downloads...

    I am trying to download albums from iTunes Store, but I get a message stating "Purchase of this item is not currently available. This item is being modified, please try later." I have been getting this for 36 hours or so....any guesses as to why? I have tried both my iMac and my PC - same result both times.

    For whatever reason, the store has pulled it.
    Try later, like the message says....tomorrow or next week....some albums just go away for a few months, and magically reappear.
