Ipod Trouble -- Big time!
I have just acquired two used Ipods to give as gifts to my kids. On each unit, every time we connect to the comptuer (and to several others we have tried) we get this message - "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it..." Does anyone have a clue as to A) what is wrong, and B) is there an easy - or difficult - fix??
Bob
first stick with one PC and one iPod at a time. On this PC make sure it has iTunes version 6.0.5 by going to help>about iniTUnes. If it doesn't, disable your antivirus/security programs and download/install it from apple.com
Next go here and download/install the latest ipod updater version 06-28-2006 here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

I Think I'm In Trouble ( Big Time)
Hi good people of Adobe forums,
I'm in need of your help yet again, this time with Encore CS 4. A little history, I had problems with Encore a few months ago, when it decided to not even start up when icon clicked. So l uninstalled Encore, ran CC cleaner then Tune up maintanence program, rebooted and reinstalled Encore and the update file to bring up to new version. All worked Honky Dory started up after installation without any problem, and l have been using Encore everyday since without any problems. Today however, after finishing editing AVI file in PP l double clicked Encore icon and it went straight to "Adobe has detected that the application has unexpectedly quit screen. Started to get a little nervous at the sight of this but tried again to start the program from the icon, same message, restarted the computer, and tried again same story, turned off computer waited then started again, same message. Uninstalled Encore ran CC Cleaner then Tuneup maintanence rebooted and installed Encore again with the latest updates for EN, PP & Media Encoder rebooted went to start Encore and same message screen pops up. I can't believe my eyes l must have done something wrong. (held tongue in the wrong side of mouth whilst installing) So l went through the whole process again turning off Commodo & anti virus program. Same result again. l have an XP machine with the CS4 suite installed as well the only problem with it is that it (XP) crashes at the most inconvenient times, (always whilst encoding of course) so shifted all relevant files to 2nd computer to finish off a 10min AVI to DVD which took close to 1/2 Hr due to it crashing.
Whilst trying to pull out the hair that l don't have and turning my office blue with swearing l suddenly realised that the Adobe Flash Player had updated itself a day ago, l don't know if l'm clutching at straws here but it's the only explanation l can think of. Finally l'll ask a question If l use Adobe's clean script will it wipe all of the installed CS4 suite of programs, or is that what l have to do now. Does that also mean that l have to also deactivate the software too so that l can reinstall entire CS4 suite again on the same machine. I've included a crash report so if someone smarter than l can interpret it l would be most grateful for your help.I can't seem to find an option to put the crash repot into this message, bugger it.
Anywho l hope this is something to go on, specs l feel are not relevant as l've not had any problem what so ever with the other Adobe Software (at this stage) suite. Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Simon AllanHi Jeff,
I Think I'm Not In Trouble Now. Thanks to your last option l was able to delete the prefs and start En without problem, l also have done the same thing for Pr on at least 2 occassions, you would have thought l could remember that. But you have saved me alot of work reinstalling when l already have alot of real work to do and for that l thank you very much for your help.

I have big problem
My Ipod ha the error : Use Itunes to resotre
but my ipod disconnect every time...
What is the problem, I have tested my Ipod on other pc and uses others wire...
Plz help me...
thank
Excuse for my english I y am french
Ipod Nano Windows XP ProI've been encountering the same problems that other users have been describing with syncing my iPod and automatically disconnecting itself. I've applied the suggested fixes that have been suggested (the 5 Rs, reg hacks, shut down background apps, etc.). I've finally got it back to the point where iTunes will recognize my iPod and the first few songs the I sync (from 1 - 2 songs up to 5 - 8 songs) will get uploaded to my iPod, but then when I try to upload another song or two, my iPod will disconnect itself again automatically.
With 4400 songs and 110 videos to move back onto the iPod, it'd be a pain in the butt to sync them to the iPod a little bit at a time.
I have closed iTunes and shut down the iTunesHelper.exe process and was able to keep the iPod connected for as long as I wanted to. Of course, when I launched iTunes, it didn't detect my iPod.
However, I've been having problems with my computer's power supply in general lately and I suspect that this may be causing my iPod to disconnect soon after connecting to my computer. What could be happening is that the iPod is trying to draw power from the computer's power supply and when the iPod can't get enough, it will basically give up and disconnect itself. This is only a hunch.
I'll be replacing the power supply on my computer to see if that does the trick.
I should note that my wife also has a 60GB Classic and has not encountered any of the same problems. It's been smooth sailing for her.

so my old laptop was a HP pavilion Vista. And my new laptop is a samsung windows 7. I pluged my ipod in as usual, transfered all purchases, yet all that got moved into my library was just what was stored on my ipod at the time, I had authorised my new laptop yet i still dont know how to get everything grouped into my new laptops library... Anyone know how i can do this?
How do you do what?
Copy everything that you included in your regular backup to your computer.
Copy contact back to the computer, copy calendars, copy documents, etc.
You can type "move itunes library" into the Google search bar for itunes instructions. -
Me compre un ipod classic de 160gb cada vez que trato de ponerle musica de mi disco duro externo solo copia hasta 1500 canciones y luego me congela el Itune y no lo puedo cerrar, me pide que restaure el ipod como de fabrica, lo hago y nada. Trato de cerrar el programa de itune y no me deja, trato de apagar el computador y no lo puedo apagar, he buscado para ver si tiene errores el disco del Ipod y me dice que esta bien. Lo he restaurado como 8 veces y le he puesto musica y videos pero siempre me borra todo. He aplastado Menu y Seleccion para entrar al sistemade diagnostic o del ipod y le pongo el test manual donde entro al IO y me dice q todo esta bien. Le he dado ya varios Format directamente desde el Windows 7 y nada tampoco, siempre me borra todo desde que pasan mas de 1300 canciones y me congeal todo el equipo. Ya no se que pensar de esta compania Apple porque no da ninguna solucion ha este tema.

Why can I not download apps on my iPod? I had to erase the memory now it keeps saying I have to agree to new terms and policies but it won't download that will just keep popping up.Why won't my iPod let me download anything? Ever since I downloaded iOS6 awhile ago it was acting up I had to erase my whole iPod now every time I hit download on an app it keeps saying I must agree to knew terms and policies every time I hit download.
I'd like to know who Marlene is....oh wait, it was a mixup.
I suspect these posts will be deleted.
It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens. -
Trouble with Time Machine (runs constantly). Erase and install?
Trouble with Time Machine (runs constantly). Tried re-installation (equivalent of archive install) of Snow Leopard. Time Machine still unable to complete a back-up. Erase and install recommended at Genius Bar. Have backed up data to external HD using Super Duper. Should be a bootable backup. Last successful backup through Time Machine was 6/1/11. Not sure if I can access this back-up if I erase and re-install.
Computer shipped with Tiger (7/2007). Have original disks. Now running Snow Leopard. So: erase HD, install Tiger, then update to Snow Leopard? Start-up from Tiger disks does not appear to work (starting up holding "C" key). Suggestions? Want very much to transfer data to new iMac, but do not want to carry bugs forward. Very nervous about erasing HD. And have the questions above about reinstalling system software.
Advice desired! Thanks.Well if you can hold option and boot off the Superdupes clone and it works fine then you should be set to do what you need to do to the original boot drive.
Disconnect all drives and c boot off the Snow Leopard install disk, use Disk Utility to Erase > format HFS+ journaled your internal boot drive.
Quit and reinstall OS X Snow Leopard, setup (do not use Setup/Migration Assitant!) and update to 10.6.8
When you setup the new install, use the same hard drive name and user name as you did before.
Now the free iLife that came on the Tiger disks you won't get naturally, but you can pick them off the disk with the shareware program called Pacifist.
install your programs from fresh sources, this way you don't get the "crap" from the older setup.
Once your machine is up and going. Hook up the clone and transfer your user folders over manually. With iTunes just replace the whole folder. Because you kept the same user and boot drive name as before, the playlists should be fine.
Once your all peachy, take the opportunity to clone this new setup to a external drive, label and disconnect.
Make another clone for day to day, or week to week clone updates and your just a hold option boot away for recovery.
You know Superdupes and Carbon Copy Cloner both have auto-scedualing/updating ability, so you can leave them plugged in and it will perform a update so your clone stays fresh and recent.
But you should keep a clone timed back about a couple of weeks back just in case you install something bad and don't learn about it right away. -
Trouble with Time Machine/Time Capsule try Backup instead
Trouble with Time Machine preparing to download taking hogging your system followed by errors that don't make any sense even if you look at the console logs to try to figure out. Try Backup instead.
Find the software here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/backup312.html
It allows you to configure when to do back ups and specific data you want, and includes templates for configurations to make it easy. The only catch is you loose the Time Machine benefits of restoring an individual file easily. For me it gets around the issues w/ Time Machine hogging my system resources (Finder at 98% CPU cycles both cores) while "preparing backup", followed by strange failures that can't figure out, followed by more "preparing backup".I was running backup instead of time machine until I saw snow leopard had time machine improvements. I'm very happy with the performance so far w/ snow leopard (OS X 10.6) time machine performance.

Having trouble getting time capsule to backup my files automatically.
I have been having trouble with time capsule ever since I upgraded to the Mountain Lion OX. I get the error message..."backup disk can not be found". The only was I can get it to work (temporarily) is to unlug the time capsule and plug it back in. Then the next day, same issue appears. I have checked and my airport firmware is up to date and I check/update everything else on a regular basis.
Any help on how to solve this problem permanently?I have been having trouble with time capsule ever since I upgraded to the Mountain Lion OX. I get the error message..."backup disk can not be found".

I am having trouble with Time Machine. I keep getting several messages: 1. Mac OS X can't repair the disk "Mona's I MAC" 2. You haven't selected a location for Time Machine Backups.
When I try to select a location there is nothing there to select and the time machine will not stay on. I have an external back up "my passport" by WD. Could this be full?

ITunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time....
My Shuffle 2G lost power yesterday and when I connected it to my Mac mini to recharge, the light flashed a few times before getting the error prompt "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time." The prompt instructs the use of the reset utility, which I ran repeatedly to no avail. I've tried all the rebooting, restarting iTunes, switching USB ports, etc. with the same error message each time.
The power indicator is no longer responding at all following the first time that I connected it yesterday. Is my Shuffle completely fried? I've only had it a year and it was hardly ever used during that duration. Help!The exact same thing just happened to my 2nd Gen shuffle. It stopped playing due to low battery charge, then when i tried to connect it ti iTunes, it said it 'could not recognize iPod at this time" and to use the reset utikity. I have now ran the reset utility a few times....but there is no change.
I would really appreciate some help in solving this issue....... -
I wrote a few days ago about this and was told that gathering
information from a form using Post as the method and having the
results emailed to someone wasn't a good idea and that it didn't
work very well. People basically told me to investigate scripting
or hiring someone, or use a pay service like MailChimp. None of
these are options for me right now, I absolutely have to get this
site done tonight and the person I'm doing it for will not pay for
a service.
The client wants to have a form on his site to collect email
addresses so he can compile them into a mailing list to send out
infrequent emails notifying people of upcoming events he's putting
on. He's a local artist with a very modest following, nothing big
time. I have no idea about databasing or MySql, and the person
doesn't want to pay for a service, so basically I'm stuck doing it
the "unreliable" way.
Can someone walk me through how to do this in Dreamweaver? I
assume I add a form field, and put a text field and submit button
inside of it. Here's my questions, to get this to work and use the
mailto: thing, what do I put for...
Form Field: Name, Action, Method, Target, Enctype
Text Field: Name
Button: Type, Name, ID, Value
Any help would be greatly appreciated by one stressed out,
hack web designer, thanks!If this client doesn't want to pay for a service then tell
him the best
you can do is gather INDIVIDUAL emails from his site and have
them
emailed to their email address. Then it's up to them to mail
out to
their modest following INDIVIDUALLY.
Basically you put a form on the site to collect the email
address of the
user. Like this:
<form name="emailForm" method="post"
action="formmail.php">
<p><label for="email">Enter email
address</label><br>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email"> </p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
You would then need to send the submitted form to a formmail
script
which will then send it on to the clients email address.
A free script named Formmail does exist if you search for it
in google
under Free formmail script
You would need to alter the script as per the instructions
which should
come with it and then upload it to your cgi-bin assuming you
have one on
your server.
You then point the form at the script by filling in the
action attribute
like:
<form name="emailForm" method="post"
action="
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi">
I no longer use formmail because it can be a bit of an issue
to set up
for beginners.
I now tend to use server side scripting like php to gather
the
information. IF you have php running on your server then
NateMail is
FREE and very very simple script to set up. It comes with
clear pdf
instructions that will do the job in about 10-15mins.
