IPod setup/welcome screen issue

Hi Everyone,
this is probably simple but everytime I plug my iPod touch into my Mac and iTunes launches I get the setup/welcome" screen in my iPod window (clicking ok takes me to the iPod window)
I will note that this only started occuring since I used a different iPod cable to connect to my machine (I have one from and old iPod Nano)
Is there any way to stop this setup screen appearing everytime I plug the iPod in?
Regards,
Peter.

Software update fixed this issue.

IPod touch 8GB screen issue

I posted this in another forum, but I didn't get any replies. So I'll post it here.
Hi guys. I've been trying to fix this problem ever since it occurred (a few weeks after I received my iPod... I've had it for around a year and a half now), but something like this has never happened before.
I just updated my 8GB iPod touch to iOS 4 a few days back (I also updated to iTunes 10). Now, when I'm on my 'Songs' list, and I try to scroll down using the right side's little list thing (A to #), the screen doesn't respond. I'm also having issues with the keyboard--the letter 'P' to the far right of the keyboard won't respond when I casually touch it--I need to put more pressure on it then the other letters. As for the right hand side song list, it only responds to me sometimes, if I'm pressing down really hard. This never happened to me before iOS 4, and it's becoming a huge nuisance.
The side list works if I press down hard with my thumb/any other finger. But I can't just touch only one letter any more--I have to keep an even pressure on the entire list.
This is annoying. Is it also an update? Because that doesn't make any sense... the 'P' button on the keyboard still isn't working properly, though.
I tried a soft reset, then I tried a hard reset and restore. Didn't work.
I read on some other sites that this can be an effect of updates, but I'm not too sure about it. I even took off my protective cover to see if the screen worked/responded better. It doesn't. Plus I don't think I have a warranty for it, and I bought this iPod from Wal-Mart, not an Apple store.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
P.S. If I downgrade my iTunes to 9.2, can I restore my iPod touch's firmware back to 3.1.3? Just wondering. Thanks.

Thanks, you guys, for replying! I was getting scared.
Really? You're kidding... I don't want to replace the screen. DD: I mean, it's happened to me before. I hope it'll go away in the next update because I swear, it was working fine before this. I didn't know my iPod had a hardware issue either. {sigh}

Hope that answers your question."
I don't know if they warranty still applies. I'm pretty sure it's been a year since I first got it. Thanks, though.
Thanks for giving me this information, though. I appreciate it.

Ipod touch flashing screen issue

I have a 4th gen Ipod touch. A few days ago, a thin red line appeared near the bottom of the screen, about 1/4 of the way up. after a few days, it turned into a white line, and the screen flickers when using it. The line isn't there when I first start using it, but after a few minutes, it shows up, and then the screen begins to flicker. I have used up my warranty already, as I had to send my other one in, as it wasn't working, and they replaced it, and that was almost 8 months ago.
Has anyone else had this problem, or have any ideas what is wrong?
Thanks

PRE7: Strange disappearing of Setup button in Welcome screen

Hi,
I am new to Premiere Elements 7.
I successfully created one video out of MP4 file from my Samsung HMX-H105 camcorder,
BUT on my second attempt I do not see Setup button in the Welcome Screen.
As far as I remember from the Setup button I can change the type of video that I am creating - right now every project I start is in 4:3 aspect ratio, and my videos from the camcorder are in 16:9 widescreen. And everything seems streetched to the left and and right.
Can somebody tell me how can I get back the Setup button in the Welcome screen.
Thanks.

It is difficult to choose the proper Preset, when the Presets go on holiday! This is an odd, though not unheard of issue. Glad that a reinstall brought them back. Bet they're all rested and tan by now.
We'll look for your other thread, and glad that you got this sorted,
Hunt

10.6 server setup stuck on welcome screen

I have a Mac Pro Late 2009 that I'm installing 10.6 server on. After install I boot up to the Welcome screen with buttons greyed out and spinning icon in lower left of the screen. Tried connecting with SA tools from an iMac and I can select the server on the left under Ready for Setup, then select server from main window, then click Set Up... button but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Should I get the iPod Touch? (Also a question about the screen issue)

Hi,
I recently purchased the 8GB iPod Nano, and now i'm considering to add a $100 and get the iPod Touch 8GB. Would you guys recommend it?
Another question I had was that I heard about the iPod Touch having some Screen Issues, and read somewhere that if the Box has a picture of Macy Gray then its Bad. But I personally think the Macy Gray image is for the 8GB, and the other artist is for the 16GB.
Is there a 100% definite way for me to find out if it has a good screen or not?
Thanks in Advance!
Saeid.

Ok, I recommend the iPod Touch. 8GB is fine, and totally worth the $$.
The screen issue has been fixed by a firmware update, so as long as you update to the latest firmware, you should be in the clear.
I have a 16GB macy Gray and it is working perfectly so far (1 week of ownership)
However, you mentioned using your iPod in the rain. If you do so, the Touch is not for you! I would not want to get water even near it, because the technology could be very very sensitive to water. It was raining here the other day (in Los Angeles) and I was so scared to use the touch that I took my 8GB 3gen Nano with me instead. And I was still scared to use that.
You will have to take the touch out and look at it if you are going to operate it properly.
The good news:
you can make playlists on the go! That means you can, while it is still dry, set a nice playlist without connecting to your computer. But, if the volume needs to be adjusted, there is a shortcut that would take just a bit of memorization and careful skill. In your pocket, you can double tap the home button, and then the volume, pause and track forward/backward "buttons" pop up. If you can memorize their position and hit them right, the Touch can be operated in your pocket. But make sure your hands are dry!
So it's up to you. I think quality wise, the Touch has had most of its bugs worked out. The only things that will come in the future are additional features.
Good luck and I hope you get it.

Welcome screen and setup appeared out of nowhere!

I have G4 iMac, running 10.4.11. Upon logging out of my user, my iMac went to the welcome screen and the setup programme, as though I had just installed for the first time!
I decided to shut the machine down and now, when I restart, I get the gray screen and the apple shows up, but then it hangs and the fans start running.
HELP!!! What should I do?

Whew, we've got at the very least some Disk Corruption, occasionally this will work...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), if it eventually boots, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If not, "Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

If the Diisk checks out but you cannot still boot up...
Reset OS X Password Without an OS X CD...
http://theappleblog.com/2008/06/22/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/
Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... though I was just thinking, this new User probably shouldn't be the same name as an existing one.

Touch screen issue on iPod touch 5

About 1,5 months I broke my iPod's screen, but it still worked fine. 4 days ago the sensor started to... turn off (don't even know how to name it): I just browse the internet or play a game and the screen just stops responding. If I lock it, I can unlock it normally and use my iPod again for a few minutes until it turns off again. What is it? Can I fix it without any screen replacement (I really think it's not the screen issue, btw)?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Culd be that the damage caused bu dripping progressed and is causing the problem

Lion Welcome Screen Localization Issue

Bonjour,
I'm using Lion 10.7.1 with Language = French.
All goes fine except the welcome screen:
I'm prompted for a password and not a mot de passe (=password in French)
the time is in AM/PM format and not in 24:00 format.
How to obtain the right mot the passe prompt and 24:00 format?

It seems launching again
/System/Library/CoreServices/Language Chooser.app
could help solving this problem.

Why does the white welcome screen come up after I restore a backup.

I am currently managing 60 iPads at a K-12 school through apple Configurator, since iOS 7.0.2, whenever I create a backup and then try to restore all the iPads to that backup at least 90% of them end up showing the white welcome screen and I have manually go through each one and go through the welcome screen. Any suggestions on why this is happening and how to eliminate this issue?

Hi,
I have been having this issue. It only happened when the new IOS was deployed. I manage 10 iPads at a public library and I learned a lot, though I am not really certain of any of this. I will share a little of what worked for me.
1. My iPads have updated to the new IOS.
2. When that happened, the backup of my bookmarks, etc. will not restore.
3. I tried to set the IOS to never update, and Configurator would not restore.
4. All those white screened iPads probably need to be re-set-up as their own user. like [email protected], [email protected], etc. They need their own password, etc. I say "probably" because I keep trying to share the same username even though I know I'll never be able to install VPP apps for them like that and plan to re-assign apple IDs to each.
5. Today I get Error code 4 on my Configurator and the backup will not work, so my bookmarks are "flushed" and I don't know how I'll restore them. I may submit and create apple IDs for each one today.
6. It was possible at one point to go through the setup screens on one, decline to set up "Find my iPhone" and then make a backup of it. Restore the new backup to all iPads, then re-set them up as their own machines, save a backup for each individual one, then setup Find my iPhone. THEN, re-save a new backup of each individual one. That worked for me really great until yesterday when I get this Error Code 4.
7. I really liked having them all share an apple ID because when I log into iCloud.com, I can see all iPads on one map.
I may check in with my result since it seems there is no reall official support for Error Code 4 yet.

When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15", my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen. How do I fix this??

Hi Everyone,
This problem just started today. When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version), my screen is light gray like normal, and then after a few seconds my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds, and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen (where I choose to login as myself or a guest user). This suddenly started today and has not stopped since. This keeps happening every single time I turn on or restart my computer.
Yesterday I installed all the Mavericks and other updates that were available in the App Store, so I'm wondering if this is related to that since this never happened prior to my doing those updates yesterday. When I first installed the new OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) update, it went through the whole installation process (took about 10 minutes), and then during the installation I got an error message saying that it couldn't verify my iTunes application that was on my laptop, and then my laptop finished installing the updates. Then once my laptop restarted, the App Store "Updates" section said that I had to do the whole OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) and iTunes (Version 11.2) updates all over again. So my laptop did the whole installation again (took about 10 minutes, but this time I didn't get that "iTunes error message" during the installation process).
Now, when I go to the App Store "Updates" section, it says the following under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 days":
-Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update (Version 5.05) installed May 15, 2014
-OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
-iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
-OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
-iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
-Security Update 2014-002 (Version 1.0) installed April 22, 2014
I'm wondering if this flashing bright yellow screen upon bootup is related to the fact that my laptop installed the OS X Update and the iTunes Update two times each? Or is this new problem totally unrelated? It's just that this problem started a day after these 2 updates were installed twice.
My Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version) is otherwise working fine at least as of now. The only issue so far is this flashing bright yellow screen every time I turn on or restart my computer.
If anyone could please help me fix this so that my bootup screen doesn't flash completely bright yellow anymore, I would be forever grateful!
Thank you so much for reading this and for any help you can provide.
hope everyone is well,
Elaine

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Can't open web pdf document: Adobe Reader 10 stops at welcome screen

I installed Adobe Reader X.
Now, when I open a pdf file from the web, the browser (either Google Chrome, Opera or Firefox) downloads the file and opens Adobe X.
Funny, I thought. Up to this date (using Adobe 9) the browser opened the file into a browser window, using the plugin.
Of course, I went into Reader Edit/Preferences/Internet and checked the "Display PDF in browser" to no avail: instead of opening the pdf inside the browser, the browser launches the Reader X program.
However, after downloading the pdf and opening Reader X, you find a nice gorram welcome screen.
As there is no way to close that screen (you have to choose one of the documents opened in the past or pick a document from the disk), Adobe Reader will not open the file I just picked in the browser. It just sits there waiting for me to pick one of the options of this welcoming screen.
Of course, the page with the files I'm trying to download uses an script or something similar to load them, so I cannot right click on any of the files to download them to a folder and then open them using Reader's "Open file" option.
The file I'm trying to open is this one: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/DCRTRV19.pdf
The page where the file resides is this one: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=DCRTRV19&template_id=1&region_id=1&tab=man uals#/manualsTab
So, how in heaven do I open this file from my browser? (as I said, Opera, Chrome and Firefox all display the same behaviour. I haven't tried IE and I refuse to do it).
To be sincere, in Firefox the file opened once. I read the first pages and then I made the mistake of indicating to the browser that it should use the Adobe X to open pdf files. (Firefox "offered" that option out of its "own free will").
Now I have the same problem in Firefox: I see a nice blue bar that indicates the percentage of the file downloaded and, when it reaches 100%, Adobe opens and "freezes" the browser, because Reader sits there at the welcome screen and the browser is waiting for the file to open.
Of course, the help for plug ins at Firefox and Opera (I haven't checked Chrome) says simply: download Adobe Reader and that's it.
I frankly hate this behaviour: up to this date Reader has been the source of simplicity, the example of a software that does only what it was made to do, sitting quietly in my PC, churning pdf files without the slightest complain, a veritable jewel among poorly designed software.
As this unclosable welcome screen seems to me a blatant attempt by Adobe to undercut the many web sites that offer to translate PDFs to Word documents, my only thoughts are: thanks, people at Adobe! You have managed to break the unbreakable.
Can anyone help me? This day has been a nice one up to this moment...

Please let me know the following details:
1. The exact version of Adobe Reader on your system. You can get the same by clicking on Help > About Adobe Reader or getting the same information from the Add/Remove Programs section in the Conrol Panel. If its not the latest version of Reader i.e. 11.0.03, please download the same from: http://get.adobe.com/reader and see if it solves the issue.
2. Does the issue also happen if you just launch the Reader application alone without launching any PDF.
3. Are you using any 3rd party plugin for Adobe Reader. If so, please remove the same and see if it solves your problem.
In case you arent sure regarding the same, please follow the below steps and see if it helps:
     a. Navigate to the Reader installation folder. Usually its C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0
     b. Ensure that Adobe Reader is not running and delete the entire "Reader" folder
     c. Initiate a Repair transaction for Adobe Reader from the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
4. Try temporarily disabling the Anitivirus software, and see if it solves your issue.
