It just keeps failing in everything!

Well i plugged my iPod in, it started updating in iTunes then half way through it said it failed, which it did. So i restarted my iBook with it still connected and it wiped the iPod clean, so i thought ill just put it all back on when it started up...but now it wont mount at all and when i try to restore it etc. in iPod updater (latest version) or Disk Utility it just keeps saying it's failed and it wont recognised the volume etc. it's NEVER done this before! Help anyone?

Hello
/b] Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

  • Facetime stopped working on mac. says "failed".  works fine on phone and new mini.  Any ideas.  already went thru all the troubleshooting. added a unique email address to the mac.  just keeps failing. ????

    facetime stopped working on mad.  says "failed".  works fine on phone and new mini.  tried all the troubleshooting, added a unique email to the mac facetime, nothing seems to work.  just keeps saying "facetime failed".  any ideas???

    I Got the same problem. When you change the output to internal speakers again facetime works again in the mac.
    I think it may be some kind of incompatibility with the current driver. I used in the past the old tascam Us-122 and worked well but its driver don't work more for the mountain lion system so i bought this newest one.
    When i used the old one I could use the volume keys on the mac keyboard to control output volume; now with the us-322 when hearing music you can control volume just from the tascam.

  • Folio 9480m Windows 10 Keeps Failing to Install FAILED THROUGH WINDOWS UPDATE

    Ive tried many many times to get this to work and dont know what to do, is there specific secuirity settuing with my folio 9480m that i need to disable before trying to update? it gets to a point where it says the drive isnt unlocked or something alike that. then back to windows 7 just keeps failing at windows update straight from microsoft trying to get upgraded to windows 10 technical preview

    if u have updates that wont go away and every time windows fails they pop back up, right click and hide them before next attempt at windows 10 installation (it is most likely what gives the error and most likely is a driver issue)

    It would also help to head to Settings -> General -> Date & Time and make sure it is set to Automatic.  You could also try using Google's DNS servers as doing so has resolved the issue for a number of users.  Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected to.  Scroll down to the DNS fields and enter in 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

    I have been unsuccessfully trying to extend the wifi of my Time 2T Capsule with an Airport Extreme 2nd Gen. It works for a while and then loses configuration. I have done everything possible, disconnected it, reset it but it keeps failing, what to do?

    What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
    What firmware is the AE?
    Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
    Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
    Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
    I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
    I would do a couple of things..
    1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
    3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
    Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

    Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.
    Restore iPad
    If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

    In that case it sounds like your DVDs have a physical problem or your DVD drive has an issue reading the DVD,
    I would suggest you try making DMG inages of your DVDs, save them to your Mac and try installing from the disk images instead...  (Disk Utility reads the DVDs in a slightly different way that can help get around certain physical issues)

    Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
    The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

    Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any icon until they all start to wiggle, tap the red minus sign & close every app listed, tap home button when finished. Then reset your phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Bluetooth speaker pairing keeps failing no matter what I try.

    I have a Jam Classic speaker that I successfully connected to my Mac Mini with no issues for many, many months. Then I recently reinstalled the OS. It's Yosemite, which is what it was before I reinstalled it. Now my Jam won't pair to it. It just keeps saying "pairing failed". I read the Apple troubleshooting page for bluetooth and tried everything they suggested. The speaker is fully charged and on, and bluetooth is on. The speaker is sitting right in front of my Mac, and the speaker has not been dropped or damaged. I tried turning bluetooth off and on. I tried shutting down my Mac for two minutes and restarting it. My wireless mouse is connected and works fine. I can't find any other advice to fix the problem. Everything is the same. I don't understand why it won't work now. The only thing that was done was reinstalling Yosemite, and if it was a problem with the OS, wouldn't the mouse not pair either? Please help, I can't afford to buy another speaker.

    Thank you! That solved it. I thought it was a problem with my Mac Mini but it was actually the Jam Classic that was the issue. I needed to clear out it's pairing history by holding down the pause button for five seconds. Thanks so much for guiding me in the right direction!
