Lost New iPod. Mac Won't See Old iPod.

I recently bought a new iPod and gave it a different name in iTunes. A few days ago I lost it. Now my Mac won't see my previous 4th Gen iPod. Any suggestions. Tried reset. Tried reloading iTunes.

I have a 1st or 2nd gen Ipod that uses Firewire and when I update my iTunes it shut out my ipod and now neither my G4 or G5 recognizes my ipod. I can't use the ipod reset utility because computer wont acknowledge it. I look in System Profiler and under Firewire computer knows it's there but wont bring it up on the desktop or itunes. I tried using USB but that was crap. Help

I ran out of space on my time machine because I bought a new I MAC to replace the old one. So I copied the old one on the new one and in addition to that I own a macbook. So what should I do erase the old IMAC on my Time capsule ? Shall I reset it?

Go to the airport utility and erase the TC disk.. a quick erase is fine and takes less than 1min usually.
A one pass erase takes several hours depending on how big the hard disk is.. but is somewhat safer in that it tests the drive condition. I normally don't bother for a TM backup.
When you start over you should be able to fit both backups on the TC.. assuming the disk is 2x larger at least than the space used on both the MB and the iMac.
If not you can also add a USB drive to the TC, and use that for one of the computers.
The slowest one is best.. as USB is slow.. but fast enough for wireless you won't notice much.

Canon 7D-Mac won't see it

Oops, I posted this as a reply in another topic, so I'll do it here as a new one. My Mac won't see my Canon 7D when I plug it in. It should show up as a drive, just like my little AVCHG camera does. I have installed Canon's EOS Utility software, and it will see the camera and take in stills, but not video. So I know the cable is OK. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Had the same issue when a client brought in a HD project on a 5D MKII.
I located the movies on the 5D with iPhoto and imported them and then moved them to
my capture scratch folder. There's probably a better way but that worked for me with a tight deadline.
Have you tried Log & Transfer??

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

Mac won't see some files/folders on external hard drive that i know are there, pc sees them fine..

I have a external drive full of music, my mac won't see all of it , its like some files are hidden... I have formatted the drive to exFAT and copied folders I knew were missing and they won't read that way either... I have as well renamed the folder to something different, but the Mac still will not see them, but my PC sees them fine... anyone??

Same problem here!!!

New Mac mini won't see old Apple Keyboard/Mouse

Just got a brand new macmini, got my apple display plugged into it and working, turned it on. It recognized my apple wireless mouse for a couple clicks, then when I got the screen to enter in the serial number, it wouldn't recognize my keyboard. And now it doesn't recognize the mouse either.
I brought home a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo from work and was able to setup the server that way, but it still won't recognize my Apple brand keyboard/mouse that worked fine on my old PowerBook. I've rebooted several times.
Any ideas?

Hello mc:
The devices, if paired with another system, need to be deleted from the Bluetooth preferences (you need to disconnect them in the BT preference pane and then delete them). Then a restart should begin the connect/pair sequence.
BT devices may only paired with one system at a time.

Can't Restore because Mac won't see ipod

Ipod 2.3 was dropped several feet. (Thanks to my cat.) Could not get a menu to appear.
1. I reset by pushing select and menu buttons. Now all a keep getting is Apple logo, OK to disconnect (Disk Mode) and file with exclamation mark.
2. I trashed itunes and down loaded new itunes. When I went to reinstall ipod software it keeps asking me to hook up ipod. It is plugged in. I have tried both firewire ports.
Ipod keeps clicking and will do this for several minutes until very hot.
I would like to kill my cat. Any suggestions? (Regarding the ipod - not killing my cat.
G4-ipod 2.3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I am having the same problem. Network settings are correct, cleared the old ipod update software out of the iPod Software Updates folder and truned my firewall off. Still no luck and nothing in the knowledgebase. Has nothing to do with the language as discussed in another post in this thread.

New FaceTime account won't allow old email to be added "already exists on another account"

Since I was having difficulty getting Facetime to work, I set up a whole new Apple ID account. I used a gmail address, because the system kept telling me my regular email was already connected to a different account (which the "fill in the blank" Apple search could not seem to locate). Any idea how I can get my regular email removed from the old account so I can use it again?
I'm not sure if this problem is really clear, so I'll try to explain it another way. A friend has me set up to connect via Facetime using my present email which is through cableone. However, evidently when I set up my original Apple ID, I used an email that no longer exists. So I tried to locate all that account information, and when I was unsuccessful, I went ahead and created a whole new Apple ID. I had to use my gmail account address because my cableone address is somehow connected to the older Apple ID. I'm wondering if there is a way to "disconnect" my cableone address from the older ID so I can use it again.

Same thing here. I am getting the authorization message with iPad, 2 iPods and 3 iPhones. I'm furious about this. I reviewed my itunes account info and everything looks accurate. I downloaded a movie this morning and I can't sync it to iPad. Let's see what explanation is offered.

External HD connected to Airport - Mac won't see it

Just bought an external HD (Lacie 2big tripple) and connected it to the airport extreme via USB.
The HD won't appear on my Mac (MacBookPro). The disk utility won't find it.
The Airport utility recognizes the HD (giving correct information about size and free space), but that's all.
When I connect the HD directly to the computer (either via FireWire or USB) everything works. The HD apears on the desktop. By the way:When I initialized the disk and copied some stuff from the computer's HD to the external one I used the wired fire wire connection.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

So, after several hours of fight I reached the follwing status:
- have this disc now as a folder of the "shared disk" airport base station
- - the disc utility won't recognize it
- the time machine is not able to make new copies altough a partition was configured previously (when wired)
At least I can use the storage for my media files, but my intention is to see and use the disk in the same way as if it would be conected via wire to the computer (as in the previuos post).
So can somebody share his/her expericences with an external HD connected via the Airport Extreme?
I mean
- can you see it in the disk utlitility
- can you see it in the finder as a "normal" drive as it ws connected by wire and not as a folder of a shared disk
- can you make a partition for the time machine purposes?
- can you see it

New MS Word won't open old MS Word files

We've got a new MacBook Pro, running Lion, with MS Word 2011 for Mac. We've just copied over our old MS Word (Mac) files, with the .doc file ending. I think the files were created in MS Word 2004, some files even ealier than this. The new MS Word 2011 (which we've updated) will open the old files. We have to open the file in Word using "recover text from any file" --- but they loose all their formatting.
How can we open the files and not loose the formatting?
Thank you
Mark

That's interesting. How do you do it?
Are you using Lion? Do you have to open the files within Word (you can't double click on them)? And do you have to open the files within Word by using "recover text from any file" option? I presume your old files have .doc ending, or have you changed this?
Thanks for any guidance
Yes using Lion on Mac and both Win 7 Pro and XP Pro on PC hardware. On PCs I have Office 2000 installed, yes even in Win 7 (and Win 8 Preview, Office 2000 installed without a problem). On Mac I have Office 2011 Mac, and all updates.
As far as the files they are all in a folder called My Documents on both systems. I change/edit or create files on either system then I use a Sync program to sync the My Docs folder between all PCs and Mac. If I'n sitting at one of the PCs and need to open any doc I just open it, word opens and loads the file. Same for if I'm sitting at the Mac. I have Word files that were created on Word 95 (or whatever that was called) Word 98 and now 2000 and Mac 2011.
Never had any problems. Even if by accident I save a file in the new DOCX format on the Mac. I have the Document converter program installed on the PCs that only have Office 2000 installed.
Sorry I don't have any real tips for you as mine Just Works, both Windows and Mac.

Mac won't "see" my camera

Hi,
When I plug my Nikon camera into my Macbook, nothing happens. No icon on the desktop or anything. I have loaded the Nikon Transfer CD and just downloaded an update. But still, nothing. I emailed Nikon's tech support many days ago but they are very slow to help.
Please does anyone have any ideas?
Someone did tell me that I should try a card reader, but I am about to go travelling for a few weeks and don't want to have to carry more stuff. However, it would be nice to download my photos.
All other USB devices (memory sticks, external hard drives, printer, iPod etc) work absolutely fine. But the Mac doesn't seem to "see" my camera when I connect it.
Thank you.

Great. Image capture worked. Thank you. However, (1) is it okay that I just switched off the camera and then unplugged it? (there was no icon to drag into the bin to eject), (2) now I have an annoying little window that I can’t close telling me “no image capture device connected”.
Not sure how I change the default from whatever it is now to Nikon? Maybe that would make a difference. But it’s strange that the Nikon software doesn’t work.
Thanks everyone

New Airport Extreme - can't see old Airport Express

I've succesfully installed my new airport extreme but the old airport express is not visible anywhere. What is the procedure to connect it to the network?

Do a factory reset. Unplug the Express, take a paper clip or ball point pen, depress the reset button and hold it in while you plug your Express back into a power outlet. The light will blink green a couple of times and then blink amber rapidly. When the amber light stop blinking and stays solid, you can release the reset button. Give it s a few minutes to recycle. Then open Airport Utility (I assume when you say that you installed your new Extreme you mean the 802.11n. If you mean the Extreme g, use Airport Setup Assistant. Once it opens it should scan and your Express will show up with its factory ID. You can use the Utility to set it up.

New leopard macbook won't see panther macbook os in migration assistant

I just got a brand new MacBook (leopard) but when i try to use migration assistant, i get as far as it waiting for target (MacBook with OS 10.4.11) to restart, which it does with the firewire symbol, but then it tells me i don't have any versions of OS X on there! I have tried a number of times! Any advice?

First off, your naming conventions already put to doubt what you have.
10.4.11 is Tiger, not Panther.
Are you sure the machine you are putting into Target Mode is a MacBook?
If it says Powerbook or iBook on it, don't use it for Migration Assistent
transfer, and instead use this article:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
If it is indeed a MacBook, make sure you Target Disk Mode is set when nothing except power is connected to the MacBook. Target Disk Mode initiation frequently does not work when other cables are connected to the computer.

You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.
