My iPod will charge in the computer but not my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same sofware and generation. Why won't mine charge?

My Ipod will charge in the computer but noy my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same software and generation. Why won't mine charge?

Look the dock connector on your iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corred contacts, foreign material and cracked/broken plastic.
Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears..
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

Ipod WILL sync with Windows Media Player....not iTunes!!!!

To no avail, my ipod is not recognized in iTunes... however it is by my computer, and my Windows Media Player will sync to it...
I have tried to Reset, Restore, Reinstall... all of that, but nothing has worked. I have Vista, anyone have any ideas? I would much rather use iTunes, so I can download some games, and such... but I CAN work around with Windows Media Player using mp3 files... no album art

have you ever found a solution to your problem? I would like to know, because I'm having the same issues with my Nano. If so, help me Please......

Ipod touch- syncing w windows vista problems

i just bought my ipod touch and it wont sync up with my windows vista.. it keeps telling me to load the softwear but no matter what i do it still doesnt load so i unable to sync it

if anyone knows of any software which will help or just any help please say

ICloud available for Windows Vista, but not Snow Leopard???

I have Multipal Macs with the Core Duo chipset that can not run LION and no $$$$ to upgrade hardware right now.
WHY does Windows VISTA get iCloud suport but I who can't upgrade to LION do not?
I understand leaving out Leaopard, but SNOW too?

With the removal of Rosetta in Lion and the requirement for Lion in order to use iCloud Macs are no longer an option for poeple that need to be able to run older applications.
Many places bought Macs because they could run just about anything, Windows, Linux, PPC software, even Classic applications via Sheepshaver.
The big issue is the loss of being able to run PPC applications. Freehand, Pagemaker, Framemaker, Quicken to name just a few applications that will never be ported. People and businesses have huge amounts of documents in these formats. It's not stuff that is used regularly but it is files that need to be accessed and sometimes modified.
All these applications can run on a modern Windows machine as can iCloud but not on a Mac running Lion.
While I'm complaining... I setup a bunch of Macs, iOS devices and some PCs all on iCloud today. The loss of email account syncing meant I had to spend hours setting up email on each machine ( each device had just under a dozen accounts on it) instead of just one machine and having it propagate to all the other devices. Going to be real fun trying to keep email rules in sync on all the Macs.

IPod is recognized in Windows XP but not iTunes

I just had my iPod mini replaced. When i connected it to my computer, it said "New Hardware Found" and recognized the iPod as an iPod. However, when I went into iTunes, it wasn't there, and the iPod Software Updater is up-to-date and says, "no ipod connected."
Apple just replaced my last ipod for the same reason. This one is new and the same thing is happening.
Did this happen to anyone else? If so, how did you fix it?
Thanks!

Icloud calender will sync to my iPad but not to my iPhone

hi all
my calendar entries made from either my mac or ipad will sync perfectly to icloud, and does show up on both my ipad 1 and my ipad 2 , and on my wifes iphone 4s, but NOT on my iphone 4S
if i turn off calendar on the iphone 4s, and turn it on again, it will sync and show all calendar entries from the icloud, but after that, nothing happens.
the strange thing is , if i edit or make a new calendar entry on my iphone, i will show up in all the other devices, but entry´s made from other devices will not show op on my iphone?
have tried to delete the icloud account on the iphone, and set it up again, and at first everything works, but newer calendar entries, doesnt come throught...
i have compared the settings on both my iphone 4 and my wife, and they are exactly the same,
can anyone give me a hint of what to do
Sincerely
Carsten Larsen

ipads are are designed to sync with only one computer. You need to choose one of the two and maintain all your music,photos etc. on that one computer.

Error with windows vista but not xp

Hi there all,
IT have recently changed my computer to Windows Vista from XP.
i have lots of reports that were created pre transfer and they now dont work in vista.
it seems to be a common problem when a report containts "Date Job completed" it returns an error of "ERROR DURING SQL EXECUTION DA0003" so i assumed it must be a time out error and ameded the times in regedit.
however it still doesnt work. i cant see it being a date format as a simple report that contains "date job raised" works. its just these other date ones!
can anyone shed any light on the problem im experiencing? IT have now given me my old computer back to fix the problem but im gonna need to go back to the new one again soon!!
also, i assume it must be a setting somewhere that needs changing!?!?
thank you
sam
p.s. i use desktop intelligence XIR2.

Hi Samantha,
Are you getting the error message while accessing deski through infoview or just local deski.
If it is deski through infoview, Can you please let me know which version of Internet Explorer you are using.
You can try the below steps to increase the timeout of IE in your machine and then test the report.
Now, here are the steps to increase the IE7 timeout-
Backup of your registry settings, before making any changes.
Add a ReceiveTimeout DWORD value with a data value of (<number of seconds>)*1000 in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
For example, if you want the timeout duration to be 8 minutes, set the ReceiveTimeout data value to 480000 (<480>*1000).
Restart your computer.
Repeat all of the above steps on every computer that uses IE 7.
This particular error message appears because of the Timeout setting in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. By default, IE 7 has the timeout of 30 seconds.
Also, here is the link from Microsoft which identifies the issue-
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050/en-us
Lets hope this resolves your issue.

HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z Wireless connection prints from Windows Vista but not from Windows 7

HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z printer appears to be connected to my Dell Notebook running Windows 7 on the HP Solution Center page but does not print.Documents just get stuck in the que. It was printing then it wasn't then it was then it wasn't. The printer works when I print from an older notebook running Vista. The last time this happened, I uninstalled and reinstalled HP software and that didn't seem to help. Then, for some inexplicable reason, printing started working. Now it has stopped working again.I can scan from the Windows 7 Notebook but no printing. I've tried all of the troubleshooting tools I could find without success. Thanks for trying to help.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello-
It could be caused by a couple things :
1. Firewall on PC or in router.
2. wireless interference (ie microwave, cordless phone base @ 2.4 Ghz)
3. distance from router
4. corrupt print driver.
Turn off any firewalls you have and move anything that can cause interference away from router.
If none of the above resolves issue, I'll have you install another print driver.
Click on start.
Go to Devices and Printers.
Click on Add a Printer.
Add a Local printer. Create a new Port and choose "Standard TCP/IP port.
Hit Next.
Type in 192.168.1.12 in the Hostname or IP address box. (uncheck "Query the printer" box)
Hit next.
When the Printer List opens up, click on windows update. ( this will take a few mins)
After the box shows up, Pick HP (not Hewlett Packard) on the Left and pick "Deskjet 990c" on the Right.
Click next, set as default, and finish.
Try to print using the Deskjet 990c.
Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.

Today i added some shows and it compleatly deleated my playlists.. they were from my brothers library the songs..but now it will not sink to his computer. but it will to mine. i tride reseting it, and nothing.

However, you can manage music among different computers. See:

I have a new computer and my nano erased my library from it. How do i get the songs onto my nano? It will sync the new purchases but not the original music

My nano original music was erased from my nano. How do i download the music again?

if you had non-purchased music on your ipod nano and synced with a new computer it does an erase and sync as it can only be synced to one library at a time - if you have not yet done the erase and sync then you can google some kind of ipod extractor software to see if you can get the non-purchased music off the device - back to the computer - and back into itunes - good luck

HT1296 I have an iPhone 5 and a Mac desk top with the latest software versions. I cannot sync calendar items entered on my phone to the computer. Items entered on the computer first, will sync to the phone, but not the other way. What settings do I need t

How do I get calendar items entered on my iPhone5 to sync to my Mac desk top? The sync seems to omly work from computer to phone.

The iCloud settings for the computer and other devices are in the iCloud preferences in System Preferences. If you open iTunes with your iPhone connected to the computer, select the iPhone under Devices in iTunes' sidebar, then click on the Info tab in iTunes' main window. Look at the various items you see listed. Be sure to check the Mail component for your GMail account because it is not an iCloud mail account. Your Calendar and Contacts components should state that they are being synced by iCloud.
