  • My computer won't allow me to duplicate a CD!  Error code -8058

    I need to copy a CD and my lousy computer won't allow me. Is there some reason why it's not?

    You didn't mention what CD you are trying to copy.
    If it is just a regular CD, then it is possible that it is somehow copy-protected. This is a standard industry practice to prevent you from making copies of their programs. This is supposedly to crack-down on software piracy.
    If it is a DVD, then the above suggestion is still possible. All DVD movies (well the commercial ones) are copy protected. And, duplicating them by any means is actually illegal in the United States (although there are programs that will do it - but those programs are also illegal here).
    Copying program DVD's (such as the Mac OS) is legal if the license agreement permits it, and even then usually only for the purpose of having a backup in-case the original gets scratched or damaged somehow.
    If it is not copy protected, and it is a DVD, then:
    You should verify that your source DVD and destination DVD-R are the same type of disk, and that your drive can write that type of disk.
    There are standard DVD disks and Dual-Layer disks. The Dual-Layer disks hold roughly double the capacity of a standard disk.
    So, if you are trying to copy a Dual-Layer disk to a standard DVD disk, then it's not going to work.
    Likewise, your drive also needs to be capable of writing to a dual-layer disk. Only the drives in the 17-inch MacBook Pro are able to do this. The 15-inch MacBook Pro is not able to write dual-layer disks.
    Now, assuming that both the disk you are reading and the disk you are writing to are NOT Dual Layer DVD disks, then you may have a media problem.
    In this case, it could be that the media is not a type that works well in your computer. Some drives are very particular about who's disks they'll work with. Others will burn anything.
    So, I would check to see if the computer will burn files to that disk (or the same kind of disk) without trouble.
    If it will write to that disk, but still will not copy the disk you are trying to duplicate, then you are probably dealing with copy protection or disks that are in a format that either you cannot write or are of different types.
    If you are working with a DVD, you can usually tell if it is a dual-layer disk by seeing how large it's reported capacity is in the Finder.
    Right-click on the disk on your desktop, and then click on "Get Info". If the reported capacity is beyond 4.7 GB, then you are most likely working with a dual-layer DVD.
    And, of course, the obvious, don't try to copy a CD to a DVD or a DVD to a CD.
    And, one more detail is that you need to have plenty of space available on your hard drive to burn a DVD or duplicate one. I tried with about 4 or 5 GB of space free, and was given an error. But, with more space available (around 20 GB) the computer was happy to burn a disk for me.
    Again, without more information, it's hard to say for sure what your problem is. But, hopefully the ideas above will provide you with some help in making sure you are on the right track.

  • I recently updated my iPhone to IOS 8 and it said I need the latest version of iTunes to sync and back up however my computer won't allow it what do I do !??  Anything helps!!!

    If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

  • FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

    Are the other iPods models, same version as yours. The 2 New FM Tx may need a new iPod software, which you can update via iTunes.
    Good Luck!

  • I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

    I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

  • I have two computers connected to my iTunes. but it won't sync. My new computer won't take the songs already on my iPod or give me the new songs on the computer. What do I do?

    I tried figuring out the icloud thing but all my settings are set to "on" so it should sync but it isn't... and plugging my ipod into my new computer doesn't change anything. The computer won't pick up the songs on the ipod and the ipod won't pick up the new songs on the new computer.

    What do you mean by "won't pick up the songs"?
    You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage mauic and videos among different computer by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    You can transfer iTunes purchases to a computer by:

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Will one copy or iTunes work with 2 iPods?

    A friend, who has the same kind of iPod I do, the 4th gen 20GB click-wheel, has asked me to help him with his. He's unable to get anything at all put on it by his copy of iTunes, which he recently downloaded and installed.
    I'm thinking I'd like to try his iPod with my iTunes on my computer. (Both he and I have Win XP.) But can iTunes work with 2 iPods with no problems? Can I sync from my library to his iPod, make sure that it plays on his iPod, then restore his iPod? After that I suppose I'd have to reinstall the latest software version, 3.3.1?
    So a bunch of questions..
    Thanks

  • Will the Google Docs app in the iTunes store work with my new iMac? Description states it works with the iPod, iPhone and iPad.

    There's iOS apps for iOS which is what iPods, iPads, and iPhones use.  Then there are Mac Apps (which is a different store) which is what run on a computer with OSX.

  • How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5???

    How do I get this beta IOS 7.0.2 JUNK TO WORK with my iPod touch 5?? I was prefectly happy with my iPod until I got the notice to upgrade itunes to 11.1 and would you like to upgrade your iPod from IOS 6 to IOS 7. And like an idiot I took the little green pill and pushed the button. Now I can't open iTunes, some apps; like the Lindsey Sterling app, Safari and Disney don't work either (not that I care about the Disney one, but, it's part of the base setup, you'd think "IT" would work!) almost anything with video links will not open, iCloud can't find me. All I get is that annoying white screen. I'M NOT HAPPY! I could have bought a Windows machine for a lot less money and have the same problems!?! (I'll bet Mr. Jobs is spinning like a top right now!)  And I have goggled-- found a few fixes: re-install, restore, etc. found one that stated to get iTunes back to go into the iPods setting by double ckicking the home button go to iTunes app and sign out, then sign in again-- those options didn't work.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • My Griffin fm transmitter stoped working with my Ipod Touch.

    My Griffin FM transmitter used to work with my IPod Touch but then it suddenly stopped working. A message pops up saying "This Accessory is Not Supported by IPod Touch" but that doesn't make sense since it worked a few hours before hand. The FM Transmitter still works on my IPod classic though, so I don't understand why it suddenly stopped working on my Ipod Touch. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
