Ipod locked, can't reset or enter code, Any ideas?

I have an iPod touch, Gen3 I think. It was locked by entering the wrong pass code too many times. Now it says,
"IPOD DISABLED connect to iTunes" I connect it to iTunes and I get an error, "iTunes could not connect to the iPod "name" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter the passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes" with no change to the iPod screen.
I have used every suggestion in the support community. I can shut it off, but cannot restore it. I honestly don't think there is a fix for it, but I'm will to try anything. Please help!

Did you try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring?

Can i reset nidaq status codes, after +10846 code?

(sorry for my english) I use nidaq with hard real-time acquisistion in win2000, in double-buffered mode. Sometimes, my application, don't read the halfbuffer and 10846 code (is plus, is a warning) occur. After, every check of DAQ_DB_HalfReady return 10846 code, and i can't see if another failure in read occur. How can i reset the status code? Thanks, Piero.

Search the Knowledge Base for the document titled "What Is the Difference between Data Acquisition Errors -10845 and -10846?" It will explain what the error is and how to correct it.
The status code is updated and returned after each function call in NI-DAQ. There is no function call to go in and clear the error condition in the DAQ device (this is an eror in the software buffer anyway, not the hardware, so NI-DAQ may actually be generating it, not a status bit on the card). If subsequent functions generate an error (or message) then you can ignore it or write a wrapper for whatever error handling routines you are using to clear the value of the status variable. Error handling is something you should handle in software; but, most people use the error handler in th

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Have you turned the phone off? If so, and it hasn't fixed the issue, try a reset:
Press and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds. Ignore the slide to turn off indicator, and wait for the Apple logo to reappear. Release buttons. No content will he changed with this process.

I Can do that for home but not at friends and work places, nobody else has any problem joining it!! I'm wondering if restoring factory settings will solve it but don't really want to do that as its a hassle to reinstall everything for it to not solve the problem!!

The error that I am getting is this "Time Machine can't use the disk image because it can't be written to." Any ideas on the fix for this?

The error that I am getting is this "Time Machine can't use the disk image because it can't be written to." Any ideas on the fix for this? When I go to the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro shows that it is locked, I think I did something wrong, but can't figure how to unlock it to see if that fixes it.

As far as we know, Time Machine cannot write to a disk image. It needs to write directly to the Time Capsule disk.

I have just installed Captivate 7 but I can't get Help to load, any ideas?

I have just installed Captivate 7 but I can't get Help to load, any ideas?

Hi hazelplt,
When you say you can't load does that mean Captivate does not launch?
Try launching the application as 'Administrator' and check.
You might also want to check by launching it in 'compatibility mode' and see.
In case you still face issues, try resetting Captivate preferences and then check by launching the application.
To reset the preferences, please follow the steps below :
Close Adobe Captivate.
Locate the preference folder:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7 folder
Rename the Captivate folder.
Restart Adobe Captivate. A new folder is automatically created.

My iPod 4th generation doesn't Power Off. Any idea how to force it to shut Off?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

If you have your MBP charger, try a SMC reset:
