Ipod is recognized, but ipod name and files wont appear

I have my ipod on my home computer and it works fine, but at my other computer when i plug the ipod in an ipod appears on in the detail, but it reads "system" instead of my ipod name, and none of the files contained in my ipod appear in the listing. i have tried resetting my ipod and restarting my computer...and deleting and reinstalling the driver. Anyone know what could be causing this and what i can do

Try another USB port- if there is one in the back of the computer (assuming a desktop) try that one.

New iPod not recognized in Vista PC and no devices in iTunes

Hello, plugged iPod Touch into computer and Vista showed usual little box which said automatically located drivers and installed them. But couldn't find iPod in My computer. Installed iTunes from download area. No devices in left column.
Reinstalled iTunes from fresh download. Plugged iPod in every USB point on computer, but nothing happens. IPod not found or recognized.
Tried to find USB driver in Device Manager but all have generic names and so can't identify which driver was installed for iPod. None show installation date or anything which may identify which one. Also forgot to create restore point first (kicking self - always do this normally before installing something new).
Been through Apple help pages and tried all their ideas including reinstalling. Still nothing found.
Could someone please suggest what to do, besides dropping computer out of window?
Many thanks

Have you tried here:

Sounds like this:
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
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

File Name and File Content not gettinng passed from Proxy to Business Serv

Hi All ,
I have a requirement in OSB , where i need to pick the file from remote Source and FTP the files to Remote Target .Below are the steps which i did to achieve this.
1.Created a FTP Adapter in JDeveloper to Get the files from Source and a FTP Adpater to Put the files to Target.Inboth the adapters i have choose 'Shema is Opaque'
2.Imported the wsdl and jca file to OSB
3.Generated Proxy Service (PS ) and Business service (BS) out of Step 2
4.I edited the Message flow such a way that , the PS is routed to invoke the BS
Aslo i assigned $inbound/ctx:transport/ctx:request/tp:headers/jca:jca.file.FileName to a variable 'FileName' in PS
and in BS service i passed $outbound/ctx:transport/ctx:request/tp:headers/jca:jca.ftp.FileName = 'FileName'
When i tried to activate my session , the file that is getting written to the target has 0 byte.Also , the file name is also not getting passed from PS to BS
Can some one help me with the steps on how to use the Xpath , so as to pass the file name and file body from proxy servive to business service.
Thanks
John

I search multiple shares to find a common file name then create a single output file. I will be doing this search and file creation
for 5-10 different file names. If there is a better way .. certainly open for suggestions. It's working but having issue with
the cmd file for every file and folder I check. It puts this error out for each run of the process.
Error message in LOG file:
Get-ChildItem : Cannot find path 'F:\powershell\-SearchFor' because it does not exist.
Thanks.
I tried your code with little changes and saved in Temp folder.
My CMD file has the below code
PowerShell C:\Temp\Untitled1.ps1
It worked.

What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window but in other cases, both the label and caption appear in the context help window?

I am trying to polish an application, and find that I cannot seem to reliably control which of the label or caption text appears in the context help window because I don't understand what rules are in place to determine which should appear. It seems like if I reate a named constant, then use it's right click menu command "Create Indicator" I get a control with only a Label (as long as I don't add a caption). This then appears in the context help window as the label name followed by the description text (after entering some description text). But if I add a caption, the label name is shown in bracket
s which is a 'feature' I would like to avoid, because I have certain controls where I would like to use a descriptive variable name on the block diagram side without using so much space on the front panel. It seems like there is no way to avoid showing the Label name in the context help for a control/indicator. Is this true?
I thought the purpose of having a seperate caption was to make the text that appears with a control programmatically controllable, but if that control is not extended to what appears in the context help window, it limits the usefulness of the caption and forces me to re-consider some Label names. However, the problem goes deeper than that because then even when I make the label and caption exactly the same, or if I delete (via a select caption text-backspace or select caption text- delete key .. sequence) the caption for a control, the label name in the context help window still appears in square brackets!
Can I have complete control over the context help fo
r a particular control (or has anyone found a third-party context help solution that functions compatibly with LabVIEW 7 in a built application that they will be so kind as to recommend?)
I have used LabVIEW for three years, and I am now using LabVIEW 7.0.

Sorry for that.. I was changing the text of my question and didn't read carefully enough in the preview stage. I wanted it to read "What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window?"

Make "File name" and "Files of type" fields read-only in JFileChooser

I try to make the "File name" and "Files of type" fields read-only in JFileChooser dialog. Anybody
knows how to do? Thanks.

You mean so the user can't choose the name of the file to open or save? Not much point in even using a JFileChooser, then, is there? Or did I misunderstand the question?

In logic X I am trying to normalize but the track and file option in the edit window is not there at all just the drop down for pointer eraser etc. Any ideas? Thanks!..

FileSaveService ignored the file name and file extensions

I am using the JNLP API to build a JWS application. When using the FileSaveService, I found it automaticlly ignored the file name and file extensions I passed to the 'FileSaveService.saveFileDialog()'.
My code is like the following:
String[] xtns = {"csv"};
FileContents fileContents = fileSaveService.saveFileDialog(
".", xtns, stream, "testFile"); Im running this application in JRE version 1.6.0_20-b02 in Windows XP.
Although in the JNLP API, it said the file name and file extension 'might be ignored by the JNLP client', I still wonder if anyone has a better solution for this?
Thanks very much :)

Type some characters into the text area then activate the 'Save File' button. Do you get a file chooser that defaults to (.zzz) extension?
Then if yes, and that is a 'better solution' for you, then yes, I have one. The code of the demo. can be downloaded at a link just to the right of the launch link.

Upgraded lastest version of itunes, now ipod touch will not sync. My ipod is recognized by my computer and will charge, but itunes does not recognize it.

I am not tech savvy, to say the least. But the latest versions of itunes and an upgrade for my ipod touch popped up for an upgrade, so I upgraded both. Now, my ipod touch (purchased in 12/2010) is not being recognized by itunes. My computer picks it up and it will charge, but nothing else is happening. I have tried resetting the ipod...but that didn't help anything. What else should I do? I keep seeing info about uninstalling itunes....how does that work and will all of my files (music and apps) be ok?

General troubleshooting for unrecognized ipods in Windows is mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
Start by checking Apple Mobile Device Service: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Removing and reinstalling iTunes is covered here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
As mentioned in this article, reinstalling iTunes will not delete your music and apps, but backing up is always a good idea.
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. See how to back up the contents of your iTunes library in How to back up your media in iTunes.

IPod recognized, but where's the file?

Whenever I try to sync my iPod (20GB, not sure what Gen) iTunes knows it's there, and it gets halfway done with syncing, but then I get this message:
"iPod cannot be updated because the required file cannot be found."
Then all my work is void. My library and iTunes are working fine. Please help!!! I'm really frustrated, it's been like this since December last year!!! Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Amaya!
A "required file" error message like this one you're getting can be caused by a few different things.
So, let's go ahead and work through some steps to try, one-by-one, and see if anything seems to work for you.
The basic procedure with the following instructions would be to disconnect your iPod from your computer prior to actually performing the task.
Then, when you are complete with that step, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer again, to check if you are still getting the error message. Repeat this kind of sequence as you go onto each next possibility to try:
<hr>
Corrupt Photo Cache folder:
Sometimes the "iPod Photo Cache" folder(s) on your computer can be corrupted in some way, which causes this error message.
Try deleting this folder off your computer:
1 - Go to "START > Search".
2 - Select "All files and folders", and make sure that you are searching over your entire hard drive.
3 - Then, type "ipod photo cache" in the blank, and click "Search" to begin searching.
4 - When the search is complete, delete any "iPod Photo Cache" folders that you may find on your computer.
<hr>
iTunes needs to be reinstalled:
It's possible that iTunes needs to be reinstalled, perhaps because some required installation files were not loaded properly, or have been deleted.
Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document for information on it):
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Also, use this article to manually remove the left over files from installation:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
After you've done that, restart your computer.
Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
Now, restart your computer once more.
<hr>
Corrupt iTunes Library files:
-- It's possible that there is some sort of corrupt file in the iTunes library, which is causing this error.
When you are getting this error message, does it seem to occur when it hits a particular song(s) in the sync?
If so, then try tracking down where which song that is, and then attempt to play that song in iTunes.
If you think you've found the culprit, delete it from your iTunes library (with your iPod disconnected), and reimport it into your iTunes again.
-- Make sure that your external hard drive is connected. If you store your iTunes library songs on an ex. hard drive, then make sure that it is connected to your computer, or else you will have files that cannot be found in your iTunes library.
<hr>
USB issues:
This error could also be caused by something with your computer's USB connections with your iPod.
-- First, try connecting your iPod to a rear port, not the front one.
-- With your iPod disconnected, try unplugging all other USB and FireWire devices (except your keyboard and mouse).
-- Update or reinstall your USB drivers. For instructions, see the steps in this article.
-- Also, you could try using a different USB cord. Disconnect your current one from your computer and your iPod, and restart your computer. Now connect the new USB cord (if you have another one) to your computer, and connect your iPod.
<hr>
Firewall issues:
It's possible that your firewall or antivirus software is blocking an iTunes process (like iTunesHelper.exe, for example), from running properly when your iPod is connected.
First, let's determine what Internet security software you have.
If you're not sure, you can go to "START > All Programs", and browse along the list for your security program.
(Make sure to do the following with iTunes closed and your iPod disconnected.)
Here are a couple of firewall/security programs that come to mind, that we have kbase articles (or I have the security program myself) about how to allow iTunes onto it:
If you're using your Windows firewall, then you can use this article to enable iTunes on it:
How to enable iTunes on Windows XP firewall
If you're using McAfee Personal Firewall Plus, then use the instructions in this article to enable iTunes there.
(That article above only mentions "iTunesHelper", but allow anything Apple/iPod/iTunes related on that list... not sure if that is the only one listed there, but look around anyway).
If you're using Norton Internet Security
If you are using something else, then usually, you launch the program, and go to some sort of section like "Settings", then go to something that says "Firewall settings", "Internet Permissions", or something similar.
Try to find a list of applications that it "Allows/Blocks".
Then, like normal, enable "iTunesHelper.exe", or "iTunes.exe", and "iPodService.exe" or anything else iTunes/iPod related (again, not sure if there are many things on that kind of list).
Now, after you've enabled iTunes processes on your firewall, restart your computer. Then, check your firewall again, just to make sure that your settings haven't changed back to default, and are still allowing iTunes.
Then, connect your iPod, and see if it syncs with iTunes or not.
<hr>
Let's test something...
If that does not fix your issue, then I would also like to do a little test with how something acts on your computer for you:
With iTunes opened and your iPod disconnected, go to Task Manager (CtrlAltDelete), and click on the "Processes" tab. Here, there ought to be these three processes listed:
iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, and iPodService.exe.
Carefully watch those three processes (if they are all there), and leave your Task Manager up and runnning so you can see what happens.
Now, connect your iPod to your computer.
Do those three processes stay in your Processes area when the iPod is connected? Or does some other strange thing occur?
For example, do either of those applications only stay for a few seconds when your iPod is connected, then promptly disappear?
Now that were done with the test (please describe the results of what happened in a reply), you can move onto some other possibilities:
<hr>
Other causes:
There could also be other things that could cause this error.
For example, if your computer is out-of-date with its Windows Updates, that might be a contributing factor.
You could try enabling disk use in iTunes, then resync your iPod with iTunes, and see if the error still occurs. (for instructions on disk use, check disk use
In addition, I would suggest that you could try reinstalling your iPod's software update files.
See this for instructions:
What to do if iPod can't be updated because the firmware file was corrupt or not found
For some more ideas on "other causes", you could take a look at what is mentioned in this article. (i.e., running Chkdsk on your hard drive, or keeping your computer up-to-date with its downloads).
<hr>
I hope one of those things solves your issue, good luck,
