My 4th gen. shuffle keeps on sending me an error message that it cannot connect with iTunes because it's not formatted properly.
Hi,
About two days ago my shuffle started to send me an error message that it cannot connect with iTunes because it's not formated properly.
So I've already updated the softwer, I tried to use it with every single USB port on my computer and searched for solutions on the net but couldn't find any useful information...
I literally see the following message: The iPod "194" cannot be used with iTunes because it is not formatted properly.
Any ideas?....
Thank you!
If you cannot access the iPad because of the passcode, you have no choice but to restore it using the same steps that you would use if you forgot the passcode.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering ...

I can update apps that are on my phone though my daughters iTunes account but I cannot update my apps with my account. Please advise!
If it isn't working on multiple networks and a restart didn't help, the next step would be to restore the iPhone. You may even have to try restoring it as a new device.
If you don't want to restore the iPhone, you can try to avoid the problem by updating the apps in iTunes and then syncing them to the iPhone. Who knows, maybe the problem will go away after syncing one or two of the updated apps. -
How does one shut off and reboot an I Pad? I think you have to hold button to the right for several or more seconds until a red arrow appears. I am not sure and I want to resume my connection to I tunes store and heard this is the best way for them to get back to me with certain info.
Thanks. I tried every method to reconnect to the I Tunes store since the error was cannot connect and I could not update or download apps, even tho the I Pad worked fine otherwise. When it re booted and re set the I tunes store message popped up and asked me for some credit card and other info. When they got it I was back in business and apps could download as before. I tried every other suggestion online and this was my last chance and it worked great. My router had to be re set the other day by turning it off and then on, and that's when all this started happening. Probably changed the I Tunes setting but I never thought it would affect the IPad in any way since all my othe computers worked just fine.
Again, many thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to sync my new Ipod to get the new album I got but when I connected it the meesage: The Ipod SYS cannot be used with itunes because it is not formatted properly. appears in itunes. I have restored several times now but it is not working I already downloaded music to it, it is brand new..just 2 weeks old. Somebody can help me? Do I need to return it to the store I bought it from?
The last Restore completed without any error message, or do you get the "ipod SYS" error message?
I'm thinking this is a case of iTunes and Windows confusing the iPod's storage disk with another drive, described here
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1493
So, iTunes/Windows thinks another drive is the iPod, and errors out because that drive is not formatted as expected (for an iPod). The solution, in the document linked above, is to change the iPod's assigned drive letter. -

I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password. I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." How do I fix this?
You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

I use Ebates. Now when I go to Ebates and choose a store, then the transfer to store website comes up and then an error message that firefox cannot find the listed server. I keep getting that message alot.
On the frontier homepage there is an error message that firefox cannot find the ad server for yahoo.
I was having problems with firefox so I did a reset firefox and then installed the new version 31.
Seems it might be draggy or slow/sluggish. I like using Ebates. I contacted them and they said they were not having any issues at the moment. I contacted my antivirus provider and they said they could not detect anything either. Would a system restore get me back to the older version?You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an "unrecognizable format". It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic. I have had these cameras for a few years and have never had a problem downloading.
I am having the same problem which has happened very infrequently before. Generally it's one photo and happened when my battery died.
However today I tried to download six photos.
None would download including several others for a total of 21 that would not download.
Since I had just installed a new powered hub and added three new external 4T hard drives, I got concerned that it was the hub. Then got really worried that I'd have problems with the data I have been backing up.
However following this sequence of events, I've determined it's not the hub, but still don't know what is causing the problem.
(1) Put a fresh battery in the camera - same results
(1.5) Used a different port in the new hub - same results
(2) Put the card in the card slot in the back of my iMac - no problems except that one image I knew about last week. The six new images imported.
(3) Tried again using the cable - still same error
(4) Changed cables - my husband has the same camera - still same error
(4) Put the card in his camera with his cable - still same error
(5) Put the card in a card reader and used the same slot in the new hub - no problems - same one wouldn't import but message that there are no new photos to import.
(6) Moved the offending one image to the Trash while the card was in the card reader
(7) Put the card back into my camera and used my cable. iPhoto had no error and displayed the message there are no new photos.
Conclusion:
Not the camera
Not the cable
Not the hub
Must remove bad photo from the card
However, I have not had to do that before. I went through several imports on vacation when there was one bad image and just ignored it each time.
Any idea why this is happening now?
Thank you -
For the past few days, since the Thunderbird update, I have been unable to send any emails from my thunderbird account. I have also tried going into my juno account online, and any emails that I send out come back with the mailer demon response - tha the email did not go through. With help from Juno I have tried to reconfigure my account, turn off my Anti-Virus and Firewall (Norton 360) changed my password many times, but nothing is working.
This is the error message that I receive...An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Access denied...4664b9656464c9c921b121b9b9c5354d11b420a93520358d357984a56d99d1cd24a07174e57559e0b1f00c7149f025b925ed4d45140c20f5.... Please check the message and try again.
In the past, I have received this message and was told by Juno to change my password. When I did that, I was again able to send out emails. But this time nothing has worked. I even tried a system restore to go back before the Thunderbird update, but that did not help either. I really need to use my email, and just can't imagine what has happened to it. I am not sure if this is a problem for Thunderbird or for Juno my email server. Please advise. thanks.To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.
Note that Norton's is notorious for not being "off" when their interface says they are. Safe mode with networking guarantees that. -
