Keeps prompting to restore

I have the iPod classic 80 GB and iTunes keeps prompting me to restore my iPod. I have, several times. I have done the 5r's and when I connect it still wants to restore. I cannot get past this. Do I have any options?

Maybe this...
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • Finder keeps prompting a 'Restore Windows'

    After installing Lion, Finder went nuts and started prompting a 'Restore Windows' warning. I've tried everything but but just doesn't go away... Other programs work but Finder. I'm in the process of reinstalling Lion again from Recovery.
    If anyone has had the same problem please advise me. Thank you

    I'm afraid that deleting Trash didn't help me.
    We're still getting the loop of Finder crashing and restarting with the "Restore Windows" prompt which disappears before we can click on an option.
    Currently using Spotlight to run commands like Console !
    I've tried Repiaing Permissions and restarting with the Restore Windows button unchecked to no avail.

  • Keeps prompting to reinstall player

    Have an old laptop, Vista 32bit, Internet Explorer 9.  Never had problem but then about a month ago everytime I access sites that require flash, I'm prompted to install an updated version, even though I have the latest version installed.  I searched forums, found many with same problem, but it always goes unanswerer or suggested tricks (which I tried but do not work).  Finally I restored my computer to a previous (one month) version via System Restore, and it all worked fine for a couple of weeks.  Then Windows updater downloaded the new April fixes from Microsoft and bam, it again keeps prompting to install an updated version, even though I have the lastest version.  i go ahead and install it again, but it still prompts every time.  Driving me nuts.  I'm about to throw the pc in the garbage.  I don't understand why Adobe doesn't recognize and have a fix for this problem that via the forums so many seem to have,

    It did not work for me...it says that it is enabled, the http link you gave says that the lastest version is installed, it says that activex is unchecked, yet each website I visit I get a prompt to install the latest version, even though the latest version is already installed!

  • Firefox keeps prompting me for password with the popup

    Firefox at my work computer keeps prompting for password with the popup message "The proxy moz-proxy://proxy:9119 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://proxy:9119"" This happens too often,even If i provide the username and password I get the next popup with same message.
    Its very annoying, I am not finding web better because of this, I goggled and figured about the config settings of - network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies and the other one not working.
    I guess I am missing the PAC URL or something which I remember like solved the problem sometime back but not in same domain though.
    Can someone help ?

  • Why can't I log in to my iTunes account (iPod Touch)? Whenever I put in the password it refreshes and keeps prompting me - it doesn't say it is incorrect, it just refreshes it.

    I just bought an iTunes card and was eager to redeem it. My iPod prompted me to log in as usual, but when I put in the correct password it just kept prompting me again. I've tried putting in my password to log in but it won't allow me to get into my account, rather it just refreshes and prompts me, and I've been doing this about ten times before I gave up. My internet connection is fine and all else is running smoothly.
    And no, it isn't the incorrect password. I have tried putting in an alternative password to check, before refreshing it said it was incorrect.
    With the correct password it'll just keep prompting me over and over so I cannot get in. This is really annoying and I don't know what to do as this hasn't happened before.
    If anyone knows what is going on please inform me.
    (Also: I cannot sync my iPod into any computers at the moment. I lost the previous computer and if I synced it with the new one I would lose everything on it, and some information on there is dear to me such as photos and videos. That is if I had a choice - computers with iTunes don't seem to recognise it as an iPod device, rather a camera which I can't take anything off of.
    This is another problem on its own, though.)

    Have you tried going to Settings>iTunes and App Stores (or just Store) and signing out and then signing in again?

  • Why does Outlook keep prompting for password

    We have seen our community members ask questions about Outlook keeps prompting for credentials many times. This issue could be caused by numerous reasons. Below is a list of the most common reasons for this problem:
    Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
    Incorrect password cached in credential storage
    Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
    Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
    Corrupt Outlook profile
    Slow or unstable network connection
    Antivirus programs
    Shared calendars
    Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
    If you are using an Exchange account, there is a setting in your Outlook profile to always prompt for logon credentials. To find the setting, please follow:
    1. In Outlook 213, go to File tab > Info >
    Account Settings > Account Settings…
    2. Highlight your Exchange account and click Change button.
    3. Click on More Settings button.
    4. Select the Security tab.
    5. Under the User Identification, make sure the “Always prompt for logon credentials” option is not selected.
    If you are using other types of email, please make sure you have ticked the option “Remember password”.
    Incorrect credential cached in Credential Manager
    Your Windows system stores user credentials on your computer. If the cached credentials are incorrect, you will be prompted for password. This issue usually happens after the password for your domain user account is changed. Before your password changed,
    you saved your credentials. The stored credentials are not overwritten when Outlook triggers the authentication prompt even if you enable the Remember my credentials option.
    To fix this issue, you need to remove the corrupted credentials, follow these steps:
    Click Start,      click Control Panel, and then click Credential Manager.
     Note If View by is set to Category, click User Accounts first, and then click Credential Manager.
    Locate  the set of credentials that has Outlook in the name.
    Click the name to expand the set of credentials, and then click Remove from Vault.
    Repeat step 3 for any additional sets of credentials that have the word Outlook in the name.
    Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
    Different email provider may need different authentication settings. Please make sure you have set the server settings correctly. You can contact your email provider to gather the information.
    In general, we select the “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” option and the first bullet “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”.
    In addition, click on the Advanced tab and check if you have enter the correct Server Port Number and select the correct encrypt type. Below is a screenshot for an IMAP account:
    Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
    The Outlook Anywhere feature allows you to access your Exchange account remotely from the Internet when you are working outside your organization's firewall.
    When using Outlook Anywhere to connect to your Exchange server, we need to choose
    the authentication method among Basic Authentication, NTLM Authentication and Negotiate Authentication. The difference among them is the way that the passwords are sent when connecting to the server. With Basic Authentication,
    the password is sent in clear text. Using NTLM Authenticationcan significantly reduce the number of password prompts.
    To check the authentication setting, please go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings,
    select the Exchange account, and then click
    Change. In the Change Account wizard, click
    More Settings, and then click the Connection tab. Click the Exchange Proxy Settings button and now, you can see the settings under
    Proxy authentication settings. Try to change the authentication to
    NTLM Authentication and then check the issue again.
    Slow or unstable network connection
    If your network connection is slow or unstable, Outlook may lose connection to the mail server. When Outlook try to reconnect, it will prompt for the credentials. To verify this, please switch to a stable network environment and then check if this issue
    persists.
    Corrupt Outlook Profile
    Corrupt profile may cause Outlook to no longer remember your password. Please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and reconfigure your email account in the new profile to fix the issue. To create a new mail profile, you can refer:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918
    Antivirus software
    Antivirus software usually integrates into your Outlook and it may cause some conflicts. Try to temporarily turn off your antivirus software to check if the issue will be gone.
    Shared Calendar
    Shared calendars can impact the user credentials, this issue may also occur if you have shared calendars opened in Outlook. You can try to unselect the shared calendar to check the result. It’s recommended to not open the shared calendar unless you want
    to view them.

    Nope...
    I went through point by point by point, top to bottom, checking and verifying every single item as a possible cause for why my system (Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1 and connecting to Exchange 2010) insists on prompting me for my password every single
    time I start Outlook.  None of the solutions worked, my system still prompts me.  I don't even have to supply a password.  When the prompt dialog appears, I just cancel it.  Within a few seconds, the bottom Outlook status bar changes to
    "Need Password" with a key icon to the left.  Then I just click on that message and immediately Outlook connects to Exchange.
    The freaking software is BROKEN!  Period.

  • ITunes keeps prompting me to authorize my computer when I try to play a movie I rented.  Then it tells me my computer is already authorized and I'm stuck in a loop.  I've tried all the troubleshooting options but no luck.

  • Firefox keeps prompting an update, but can't complete it. It gets stuck on "Connecting to the Server" and runs for hours until I stop it. Help!

    I have a Mac OS X ver. 10.5.8 and I've used Firefox on it since I got it 3 years (?) ago. The most recent update for both Firefox and Thunderbird keeps prompting me, but when I say "yes" to update, a bar appears with lines moving through it and it says, "Connecting to the update Server" but it never gets any farther. I've left it for hours at a time and it won't actually update either program.

    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
