Ipod wont sync - Says library is being used by another version

I try to open iTunes and it keeps giving me an error message saying my library is connected to a different version of Itunes (or something to that effect). I do not have another Itunes program. Last night I did install media Sync for blackberry I thought that might be the problem so i uninstalled that program but still no luck...I am very frustrated.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

The exact error message would be helpful.

  • Emails won't load says account is being used on another device

    If you believe that has happened, change your password. There's no way to verify that such has happened.

    Have been unable to empty trash for the last 24hours, says it is being used by another task, how do I clear it. Thanks for any help.

    Generally when you get the resource in use error logging out or rebooting will take care of it. When a file just absolutely refuses to delete try restarting in Safe Mode (hold the left shift key after the computer restarts) and then empty the trash.

  • Ipod cannot restore"because files are being used by another application"

    Hello all,
    I hope someone can help me. I think I mad a big mistake. I did a favor for my father who bought the newest IPod clip on shuffle for my mom. I agreed to get it up and running using my laptop, (which has Itunes for my Ipod w/video) would this create a conflict. Unfortunately I didn't think of asking BEFORE i tried to get the shuffle up and running. The shuffle works fine now but my 30GB Ipod is not able to sync any songs and has requested me to restore to the default settings. Which I tried but when I do it states that I can't because "files are being used by another application" So I tried to use the chat help on this website and when I logged in it picked my product type as a SHUFFLE. Can someone give me any advice. Thanks

    I get this messager and I have no other ipods or dev. to my system and have problems when I disconnect also?? Even have done a complete restore, to no help. Help

  • Ichat says camera is being used by another application when its not!

    Evry time i go to hook up my cam, (sony handycam), the stupid computer tells me that my camera is being used already by another application...even when every app is closed and off.. it still says this

    Hi,
    This message can also show up when iChat is having trouble recognizing the video format coming from the camera. I'm not sure if it will help, but you may want to try installing the iChatUSBCam demo to see if it help iChat to recognize the camera.

  • IPod wont sync - says corrupt no matter what i do

    I have a late 2009 iPod that has had games put on it - how do i get them off?  All of the music and everything has been wiped off.  The iPod freezes iTunes and everything else when connected.  I have reset it, then tried to restore it (when I finally get the message to restore), then it gives the message about being corrupted again.  I have updated iTunes, updated all Windows XP fixes - everything.  I have even gotten it in to disk mode and it still gives the corrupted error. I am almost certain that the issue is with the games (iQuiz, Klondike and Vortex) Any ideas?

    First try changing your iPod's Disk Letter as described in this Apple support document to see if it helps with the restore issue.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493
    Otherwise, try disabling any and all Firewall, AntiVirus, and other security software you have running on your system before connecting your iPod.  They may be causing the freezing issue.  See this article for more troubleshooting solutions.

  • Somehow my alternate email address was changed and when I try to edit it says that email is being used by another account?

    Will not let me change my alternate email address...says it's being used by another account.  Don,t know what I have done.

    It probably really is being used by another account. That account holder may be you, or it may have been an Apple ID used at one time in the past, which again may have been you. Doesn't matter which. Once it's used, it can no longer be used by anyone, ever again.
    By "already in use" it means that email address might be an Apple ID, or an "alternate email address" associated with any Apple ID that has not been deleted from that Apple ID, or a "rescue email address" for an Apple ID that also has not yet been deleted. Therefore if you have another Apple ID go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and using the "Manage your Apple ID" button, check your account for alternate email addresses. If that email address is present, deleting it will make it available to use for an Apple ID.
    Rack your brain for any other Apple IDs you may have used in the past.

  • Isight camera- Camera is being used by another program

    I use my MBP with an external keybpard, & mouse, and monitor so I run it witht he lid closed. Everytime I go to click on the ichat icon- I get a message saying camera is being use by another program.
    I am also trying to use an external camera. THis message happens with out without the external camera being connected.
    Any thoughts on this?

    Try this... shut down ur machine, then hold the power
    button for almost 10seconds or until u hear a beep,
    then once ur machine is fully booted up the camera
    should start working again. Good luck!
    I don't have any issues, but I'm interested... What does this actually do? And what is it typically referred to as?
    Is it similar to resetting the PRAM?

  • HT1351 Whether or not I sync items on iTunes to my ipod, I cannot eject the ipod because a message keeps coming up and saying that my ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. How do I fix this?

    I just got an ipod classic 7th generation a couple days ago and I'm having a heck of a time with it. My latest problem is that with media on iTunes, I cannot eject the ipod because it says that it cannot be ejected because it contains files that are being used by another application. What application is this, and what do I do about it?

    Hi newipoduser,
    Here are some possible solutions:
    Do you use musicmatch jukebox on your computer? If you do, you have to go into task manager on windows and end process mim.exe. It interferes with disconnecting ext devices
    Empty your "trash/recycle bin."
    If that doesn't work, try quitting all your programs, especially music-type programs, basically things that look for mp3's etc.
    if that doesn't work, "log off" then "log on" and that should refresh/purge your OS system.
    Finally, you can restart your computer.
    Hope one of these helps!
    Cheers,

  • Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?

    Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
    Offered solution doesn't work:
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    I can't download photographs from my iphone or my digital camera.
    Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?
    There is a possibility that when I went to update applications that I started to install Mavericks which I then interrupted and cancelled. I am not definite that this caused this problem but it was at about the same time as when this problem started.
    Many thanks,
    Ed

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I have an ipod that I have been using for iTunes, when I connect now to sync, and hit the eject ipod, I get a warning it can't eject due to applications being used in another program. I am having trouble disconnecting. Help!

    I am having a problem with the new iTunes store. I can connect my ipod, and it will show that it is syncing. Once the sync is complete on iTunes, my ipod still shows that it is connected, do not eject. I have not had a problem with this until the new verision of iTunes. When I go to eject my ipod, it tells me that it can't eject due to application being used in another program. I did receive an ipad 2 for Christmas, that I also sync with iTunes, but only the ipad shows up in my devices on the site, what happened to my ipod device and how to add it back to devices? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • My iPod isn't being used by another program!

    So I just got a new, 2nd gen green iPod shuffle today. And I updated it once and I got all my Kelly Clarkson songs on it. Then I synced some MCR songs on iTunes and I plugged my iPod back into the computer via USB dock. It kept on saying 'iPod is being used by another program, not able to update.' I tried this several times and the same message kept on popping up. I got really frustrated.
    Would someone be kind enough to help me?
    iPod 2nd Gen Shuffle   Windows XP  

    Just try restarting your computer first. Your computer has many, many applications running at any one time so its not surprising that your iPod is being used by another programme. If you uploaded your Kelly Clarkson songs then closed iTunes and then opened iTunes up again, without turning your computer off, or even worse - just pulling your iPod out of the USB port without pressing the disconnect button!, then the computer may still think iTunes is using it and iTunes itself may think another programme is using your iPod when actually, iTunes is using it itself! So I suspect that once you have turned your computer off and turned it on again, then when you plug your iPod in again it will work.

PLEASE Help! I have emailed 4 times & no help. Thanks for understanding.
