It won't eject the Ipod without shutting down the entire laptop....

I have what I guess is the 'classic' 30g iPod it has no problems syncing at all my problem comes in when I try to 'eject' it. I have tried getting itunes to 'eject' and the response comes up:
"The iPod _ cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."
This happens if Itunes is the only thing running OR when I shut Itunes down and try to eject it with the icon in the task bar (blonde I don't know what it's called but a screen comes up and you click the 'stop' button and it's supposed to turn lose of things that you connect with the usb cord) and I get the same message "other applications are using the ipod shut down all applications and try again later"
I have tried starting the laptop then itunes and connecting the iPod or running half a dozen different things it makes no difference. The ONLY way I have found so far is to completely shut it down (restarting the comp doesn't give me enough time to get it unplugged before the laptop 'grabs' it again and shows the do not disconnect screen) the ONLY thing I currently have 'syncing' to the ipod is music... no pictures, no calendars, and no contacts.
I have downloaded the newest updates for both the Ipod and Itunes.... any one know why it's doing this and how to make it quit? .... having to shut everything down just to make this 'turn loose' is getting old real quick and I would like to have contacts, calendars, and pictures back.

Fair enough. Another thought along similar lines ... even though you're getting a slightly different set of messages, the sorts of applications discussed in the following document are also worth checking on:
Windows Vista "No Disk" or "Exception Processing Message" alert occurs when ejecting iPod after enabling disk use
... and also the application discussed in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6828218#6828218
(Thinking about the latter one, because if it's a background process that is checking the iPod, then that might cause grief even though your Task Manager is not showing that any other applications are running.)

How do I put the new games on the ipod without taking off the old ones?

downloaded some games from the itunes store, on my ipod, then I had to restore my PC causing me to have to redownload itunes. Now I tring to download more games so how do I put the new games on the ipod without taking off the old ones? Because if I press sync then I it will take off all extisting games? And is there a way to back up everything including games and videos.

You can't. Games from the iTunes music store are only for the iPod 5th gen.

SAP System copy without shutting down the source and the target system

Hi,
We need to need to System refresh without shutting down both the source and the target system, i read the docs from SAP looks like we need to shutdown the source system during export and import phase, is there any way to do the system refresh without shutting down the system.
Sathish

Hi,
Think a little bit about what is a database and you'll get the answer that what you "need to need" is impossible.
Of course it is possible to keep the source running (hopefully, because ususally it is the production system !) by using an online backup, but you need to stop the target system because you will restore a backup on it.
If you use the export/import way, you have to stop both source and target system.

Is it possible to kill a (last) task without shut down the hole App?

Is it possible to kill a (last) task without shut down the hole App?
For example you wanna open/import something in Adobe AE and the finderdialog hangs.
You dont have any chance to save your work before quit the app.
May it could be a code in Terminal or something like else.
So, is it possible to whrite it down for me please?
thx frank

You can kill any individual process by using Activity Monitor, selecting the process, and using the Kill Process command. The location and precise phrasing of the command will vary by version of OS X; in Mavericks it's the "x" button at the upper-left corner of the screen.
If it's some part of the application that has hung, though, it's highly probable that killing a process associated with the application will bring down the entire program. In such as case there's almost never any option. In the case of the application hanging in the file open/save dialog, then I don't believe that there will be any way you can recover without forcing the entire application to quit.
Regards.

If my iPhone is stolen and the thief shut the phone down, I wouldn't be able to locate it anymore. Is it possible to disable the possibility to shut down the phone when a passcode lock is set up?

enable prohibition shutdown option, with out a jail break tweek
Apple should think about this, if not already in the new IOS 7

No.
The battery will run out sooner or later anyway, even if you could prevent shutdown.
iOS 7 includes a feature that prevents anyone wiping and then re-setting up the phone without your AppleID and password.

Can't open Elements 8 more than once without shutting down the computer

After starting up my computer, I can open Elements 8 (organizer and/or editor) and work as usual. However, if I close the program, then check email or work on something else, and then I decide to open Elements again, I get the opening screen, click Organizer, and it just disappears. When I shut down the computer, it says there are programs waiting to close, but it shuts down quickly despite that. Once I have restarted, all is normal again, until I decide to open Elements twice.
I have Windows 7 professional.
Do I need to reinstall Elements 8?

It sounds like the Organizer and Editor aren't closing all the way, which makes it so you can't re-open them.
To know for sure if this is the case, after you close either program, open Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC), go the Processes tab, click the option at the bottom to show processes from all users, and then scan the list for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and/or PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe.
If there, then that means they aren't getting closed.
As a temporary workaround until you find out why they won't close, you can end the process in Task Manager instead of rebooting the computer.
As for the cause, it is possible that something else you have running in the background, perhaps security software, is causing the issue. To determine if that's the case, restart the computer without any startup items or non-essential services, and then run Elements 8. Here are some instructions:
Windows 7/Vista: http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb404913_en-us
Windows XP: http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb404984_en-us
If you can close and re-open the Editor/Organizer properly without anything else running, then something was preventing the program from closing properly. Use a process of elimination to determine what; something similar to this method:
Open the System Configuration utility.
Re-enable approximately half of the items that were disabled.
Click OK, and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Check if you can close and re-open the Editor/Organizer.
If you can't anymore, open the System Configuration utility and disable half of the most recently enabled items.
If you can still, open the System Configuration utility and re-enable half of the remaining items.
Go back to Step 3, and continue dividing the items into halves until you have determined which startup item or service is causing the issue.
Once you have isolated the problematic startup item or service, contact its manufacturer for an update or configuration information, or leave it disabled.

My external drive won't eject. should I shut down my computer? It says if I force eject, I might lose info stored!

My exernal drive will not eject. Should I shut down my computer? It says if I force eject I might lose info!

Hey I typically have this problem as well. For starters what steps have you went to to eject the drive? Have you just done it from finder or have you gone to the Disk Utility and tried to eject from there as well? If not then I would recommend this first. I would also recommend before doing anything to save any neccessary information that was placed on the drive locally if possible.

Backup the database without shuting down the database

Hello All,
Just want to ask if any one can tell me if it is possible to backup the database without shutting it down
When can you do so if it is possible?

A hot (or on-line) backup is a backup performed while the database is open and available for use (read and write activity). Except for Oracle exports, one can only do on-line backups when the database is ARCHIVELOG mode.

That is true, and if it is restored to factory settings, and so on. Find My...works when a device is connected to the internet and logs itself in as long as it has not been "sanitized" so it is not recognized.

When asking to view statements in online bills--firefox continuously runs a blank tab that is added to my downloads and I cannot stop it without shutting down the computer?

I use Firefox for all our online bill statements. When I go to my Charter One bank account and press view e-statements, firefox does not view these statements, it has started to show pages that are blank and the tab is say charterone.com....dafault/???????(not
sure what is after default) After shutting down and restarting, my downloads are loaded with these blank pages that I've been deleting--hundreds of these. How do I stop this from happening every time I want to view my account statements?

Hi,
Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20keeps%20opening%20many%20tabs%20or%20windows this].

How to test Windows 2012 R2 DHCP Failover without shutting down the service?

How can I test the Win2012R2 DHCP Failover?
There is a command or script, that i could use to test if DHCP failover is working properly?
How to monitor the sync of the objects?
How to make sure that it will do the job, if required?
Or i have to really stop DHCP server main server and see the failover?

Hello,
you have to keep in mind that this has ONLY effect for machines that request during the downtime a lease. So if your lease time is for example 8 hours a computer will ask after 4 hours for the renewal of the lease.
Means there is no problem for running machines during the test. You just need a computer to start after the service is shutdown on the first DHCP server, should take only some minutes to check if the fail over works. Then you could already start the service
again if you see the lease on the new server.

Unpredictably, Firefox hangs and does not load websites. It can be closed, but will not restart without shutting down the Firefox.exe *32 process via task manager.

This happens during almost every session I am online with Firefox on this computer alone. I have been using FF for years without issue.

Way too complicated to solve the problem of "firefox is already running ....etc." and there must be a more simple solution to this problem which occurs once in awhile.
It seems to me that Mozilla developers can find a better solution and one that allows control-alternate-delete to fix the problem.
Otherwise, it is just resort to the old reboot solution.

When I open up a browser I get an automated voice telling me what website I opened. I want to shut down that feature without shutting down the sound I need for other watching TV or YouTube

When I have multiple windows I will click on a site and an computerized voice will tell me what the website is. It is as if everything I am doing is getting a voice over from Firefox. I want to disable that aspect without it causing any problems when I actually do need sound like watching shows on TV. Everytime I put the cursor on anything it will tell me what I am doing which I don't need.

Hi elamothe! It sounds like you just have VoiceOver turned on for your Mac. You can find VoiceOver by going to ''System Preferences->Universal Access->Seeing'' on your Mac, not in Firefox. This will allow you to disable VoiceOver.
CMD + F5 will toggle the setting as well.
Hopefully this helps!
