Ipod will not install - HELP

I've got a 1 gig Ipod shuffle using on Windows XP. When I first got the iPod the install was perfect. I recently had to re-format my PC and I figured the Install of the Shuffle would be fine.
I insert the CD that came with the iPod and then it asks me to connect the iPod. When I do it waits then tells me my ipod needs to be formatted. Then I get a message "waiting for iPod". This doesn't go away. Windows sees my iPod as a removeable drive but I cannot get it installed. When I launch iTunes, it is not seen. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and going straight from the CD, downloading the latest from apple.com. Nothing seems to work. I had no desire to have an iPod until I won one at work and now I'm tripping because I can't use it. Can anyone help?

If it fails on the device , try updating on the computer then syncing apps once.

windows installer has stopped working
a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avabilable.
... and that's one that I wasn't thinking of ...
Head into your Windows Update. Are there any new updates available for you? If so, and you install, does that clear up the error message?

IPod will not install drivers on Windows Vista

Hello,
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on 2 computers. One computer connects to my 60GB iPod video just fine, while the other looks for drivers and then fails to find any. I get a window that pops up saying "Insert the disc that came with your iPod" after Windows searches for drivers. Because of this, the iPod does not appear in iTunes, nor does it appear in My Computer. I have tried performing a soft reset on the iPod (Menu/Center combo) which did not work. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes to no avail. This is a brand new Windows installation and I just can't figure out why it won't work. iTunes seems to work just fine in all other respects.
I have also followed the steps in this article:

Scroll down to the quote from WickedMX.
Basically, C:\Windows\System32\Driverstore\Repository and look for a folder that starts with usbstor. You will probably have two different versions. Open the folder that is the newest version and then copy the files usbstor.inf and usbstor.PNF. Copy them to the C:\Windows\INF folder. Try installing your device(s) again and it should work like a charm!

CC desktop app will not install, help

I have a MacBook Pro OSX v10.8.5 and purchased PS via the CC with an annual membership. I can not get CC installed on my computer! heres what happens:
1. I click CC installer icon on desktop
2. a text box appears saying "CC Installer wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I do do that.
3. Initalizing installer pops up, loads quickly, then disappears.
4.Then a white verticle rectangle with a black toolbar on top (home/apps/ file/ behance) appears and a loading circle spins.
5. This loading circle will spin forever and nothing happens. Ive tried restarting computer, uninstalling and reinstalling the installer, and updating my comps software.
What can I do?
Thanks.

Jubarudi please try solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html. Removing the OPM.db file should resolve the difficulties you are currently experiencing.

Safari will not install, HELP!!

My update to Safari Beta was interrupted and never installed, but in the process Safari 2 was removed from the system. Anyways, I can't find a safari version to install, every version I have tried tells me I need a different version of the OS.
Example:Trying to install 2.0.1, at Select Destination, I select Macintosh HD and the Installer gives me the !You cannot install Safari Update on this volume this
software requires Mac OSX 10.4.2. and Safari 3 Beta give me the !You cannot install Safari 3 Beta on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.
Any clues? I am running the latest OS and

What seems to have happened is that the 3 beta has removed Safari 2.0.4 and not installed 3 - unfortunately you cannot install 2.0.1 because it's too old and 3 won't install because it doesn't see a version 2! You should note that safari is an extension of webkit and if this has been updated in the OS to the v.3 version then this could also stop the beta from installing as it thinks it's already in there. May be the uninstaller will work if it's there?
I'm not sure what to recommend here, sorry, I'm afraid the lesson is to stay away from betas!!
Best guess from here is to archive and install from your OS disk (a pain if it's 10.4.0 I know) and update from there - any other suggestions, anybody?

3rd Generation, 15g Ipod- Will Not Charge- HELP

I have a 3rd generation, 15g Ipod- I keep it for nostalgia purposes but I can't get it to charge.
It has a new battery.
I'm extremely frustrated at my experience with Apple. Technology changes so fast (i've owned it 7years) that no one seems to know or care to assist me either at the Apple 800 number or in the Apple store.
I have the original Ipod but not the cradle or anything else that I can find. We have purchased so many Ipods over the years.
So I have been told that if the battery gets to low I must charge it with the a wall adaptor. So today I purchase a new wall adaptor but it won't charge the ipod. Plugging into my 2 year old Imac won't charge it either. Is there another way to charge the Ipod?
I just received it back with a new battery. It was 1/4 charged and Imac recognized it perfectly. I just think the battery got too low and needs to be charged another way. HEEEEEELPP!

Hi,
I just think the battery got too low and needs to be charged another way. HEEEEEELPP!
No. You're lucky that the battery went for 7 years. They do not last forever.

10.7.2 will NOT install help please

iMac 27 (2.8 / 4gb) and my mbp (2.8 / 4gb)
Neither of then will take the 10.7.2 update. Both machines reported the corrupted update (not expandable or corrupted during download error) after The lion recovery update downloads / installs, the OS update completely downloads and reboots. On reboot the machines both error out 30 seconds into the install.
There is a thread on here that states others have had the same issue and worked through it using a combination of the repairing their disk permissions and immediately installing the update from the downloaded combo update DMG and NOT using software update.
When I download and launch the update combo update dmg or the client update (non combo?) dmg ALL of the dmg's also error out on INVALID checksum ... On two completely separate machines, I get invalid checksums from dmg's from the apple site? someone please explain. Even if I skip the verification the installer looks normal until it starts to install and then also errors out.
The reports that have been successful at getting the update to install all report that repairing the permissions are the cure... - when I repair disk permissions, I get a load of system/library/coreservices/remotemanagment/ardagent.app....... Junk that should be.... And i get the same list on both machines. The permmisions repair lists them as repaired.
.... Then if I DO nothing, other than simply press "repair disk permissions" again, it lists all the same mess of mismatched perms....
Please help?

thank you for your reply putnik- i'm sorry my explanation was confusing. i'll try to clarify my explanation and shelve the frustrations.
I am currently sitting at 10.7.1. When I ORIGINALLY started this adventure, I did my usual update through Software Update and there were two items listed:
"Lion Recovery Update"
"Mac OS X 10.7.2"
I simply allowed all to proceed as normal. When the machine rebooted to install the OS update- it verifies the installer for about 30 seconds and then I get -
"The update "Mac OS X Update" can't be installed. The update could not be expanded and may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."
And this is where I cannot get past. No mater what procedure I do- I cannot get the download to install on either of my machines. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16378707#16378707
is an earlier thread that I has been experiencing the same issues, and this is where I got the info regarding the disk permision repairs- and trying to install from the downloaded image and not through Software Update.
This makes no sense to me. I have downloaded the update dmg from apple at least 10 times on two different machines, and on every one- their checksum is invalid? Even when I check the checksum with disk utility it reports an error?
Only other thing of note is that my iPads will also not update through itunes and also report that the download was corrupted or damaged during download?
I'm stuck. I hope that this explanation is clear?

Itunes update will not install help - read details - help

it will start updating like normal but when it starts to install the following messege comes up -
"the feature that you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available
click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi' in the box below."
i have searched for the file itunes.msi but i cannot find it, as if it has been deleted or summit. i done a search and i can only find it as a hidden file. i cannot change the file or use it as it says that it is for older versions of itunes.
i cannot delete itunes as i have tried the add/remove programs option but it asks for the itunes.nsi file again.
i have tried deleting the file manually but this doesn't work either.
itunes will work normally but i cannot update as i want it to be able to get the 3.0 update when it is released.
does anyone know how i can deal with this option so that i can update itunes and preferably keep my existing music and video files.

I have the same issues. Any one out there with any good thoughts here.

Garageband will not install, Help, Please!

Where does the App store download files to?
I am having loads of problems with App store on my iMac running 10.6.7, my MacBook is fine and working as it should, but my iMac is a total disaster. It started with Update buttons appearing on the Purchases tab, which you cannot update because of the "log into the account" error and I tried all the methods outlined on the forum, none of which worked. I ended up trashing the offending apps and re-installing them. My only problem now is Garageband. It has gone. Every time I open the App store it asks me to install it, which I do, waiting 5 minutes sometimes whilst it downloads. Then nothing, it just won't install. Is there any files I should delete from the old install? It has me stumped. Any ideas?

Try a Spotlight search for Garageband. If it appears under Applications double click on it to start it, close the intro page, then on the top menu click on Garageband and then About and see what version it is.
The download you get when you are notified of a software update is a delta update as it only includes what is needed to move you from 10.6.6 to 10.6.7. The combo update contains all of the updates since the start, hence it can move you from 10.6.0 to 10.6.7, or anything in between. It is also why it is much larger than a delta update file. To my knowledge it does not contain any new updates for Garageband or anything else. It is always a good thing to try if you have problems after an OS update and some people will only manually install the combo update.
You might also want to try booting from your OS X disk and repairing permissions on your disk (there are also many different opinions on this, but it won't hurt anything).
Let us know how you get on.
