Is yours the original ipod touch?

HT4235 ipod will not sync after mcafee vulnerability scan installs itunes update?

ipod will not sync after mcafee vulnerability scan installs itunes update?

When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
Thank you Espeon for the article

How do I install all my old programs and data from an old system folder after I have reinstalled the same OSX system after a crash?

The system is OSX10.5.8 Leopard on a 2009 imac. A new system was installed from the installation disks and the original system saved to a folder.
I need to use my Adobe programs, rescue my email, i-tunes and iphoto data. The disk utility indicates that my Time Machine back-up disk is damaged and I don't want to take a risk of having Time Machine erase my hard drive and try to reinstall the exact system existing at the time of the crash. There was over 650 gb of stored files that I was copying and removing from the drive at the time it crashed. The total size of the original system file is still about 650 Gb.
I would prefer to go back in Time Machine and only rescue the programs as most of the files have been copied to external hard drives, but I can't access the back-up hard drive from the new version of the Time Machine. Or by I don't want the Time Mchine to start copying the new operating system which would include all the data in the old system file. Time Machine was working fine at the time of the crash.

No, the disk was backed up with time machine a few hours prior to the crash. I was unable to open the computer when I tried to restart it- got a grey screen with the spinning disk- after a few minutes the screen would go black and would reboot continuously, but not load any images or programs. I started the computer from the 10.5.4 installation disks and checked both the time machine external hard drive and the Imac internal drive with the disk utilities. Both showed as damaged --the internal drive and permissions were repaired, but the external drive (time machine back-up) was damaged and not repairable by disk utilities. I don't believe that the external drive for Time Machine was connected to the computer at the time of the crash as I was copying files to a different hard drive drive. And I was not having any problems with the TM back-up drive prior to the crash.
I accessed the Imac internal disk by firewire (as a target disk) and copied as many data files as I had room for on my external hard drives available. And I deleted quite a few files from the imac internal drive (mostly just jpegs, duplicate tifs, etc--nothing that was used by i-photos, i-tunes or the Mail program).
Then I installed a new OSX10.5.4 system from the installation disk and the old system was moved to a folder on the hard drive. I previousy had had the option to reinstall the complete system from Time Machine when I connected that drive and booted with the installation disks with the C key depressed. But it didn't seem like a good option because I was unsure of the condition of that external disk and whether it would be able to reinstall my data correctly, once it had erased my internal hard drive.
I'm considering buying some new external hard drives and backing up the present system to time Machine (so I'll still have my old data in the old system folder). And then I would try using the old Time Machine back-up to try to reinstall the sytem previous to the crash. That back-up would reinstall about 700gb of data and operating software and programs which sounds like a lengthy back-up. Since I have never used Time Machine to do a full reinstallation (I've only used it for individual files), I'm reluctant to do anything rash.
I'm a professional designer (with a deadline) but I can still use my Illustrator and Photoshop by opening them from the old system folder and saving the files to an external drive. So it's not neccessary to do anything hasty except to delete some of the excess art and document files that were causing the computer to run slowly and the Adobe programs to crash when I tried to save my work. I have quite a few books on tape in the i-tumes folder which is probably talking up tons of space but I don't where the i-tunes files live.
Thanks for any help. Peggy

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard on both of my computers.
Some time ago, one crashed my computer and I had to reinstall the operating system and all applications.
After I had installed once Acrobat 9 Sdt in the computer, I wanted to update the software version 9.0.0 update to the same level as it was before the crash and that the other computer has version named 9.5.5.
The system for update from version 9.0.0 does not work at all. "There are no updates" listed in the dialog.
Can you advise how I get my Adobo Acrobat 9 Standard (Version 9.0.0) could be updated to the same level as the computer had before the crash.

I just got a new computer and my iPOD will not sync to it because of the old computer. How can I get my library to sync on the new computer????

I originally synced my iPOD to my PC in April 2011. I purchased a new computer but my iPOD will not sync to it because it is synced to the old PC. I do not want to erase my iPOD to sync with the new PC because I have loaded alot of music from CD's to it. HELP!

See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Why does my iPod Gen6 not sync after changes made in iTunes on PC?

I make changes in my music in my iTunes program on my PC (check/uncheck certain music/songs) and these changes are not reflected after I sync my iPod Gen6; all music is the same as it was before on the iPod.

How is your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library? Automatically or manually? In other words, what options do you have enabled from under the iPod's Music and Summary tabs?

ITunes and ipod do not sync after loading itunes 10.3.1

The system gets stuck on "verifying your ipod". The Windows 7/64 bit is now recognizing my ipod as a USB mass storage device. Is there anyway to make sure this doesn't happen again. Each time there is an upgrade my iTunes does not sync with my ipod, it crashes with not being able to update my library with not enough memory and my windows operating system recognizes my ipod as a USB mass storage device.
This has happen for every upgrade and its not fair!!!
Each time i've had to uninstall the the upgrade, rename my itunes library then reinstall and it begins to work again. This time it did not work. Does someone have another solution?
I cannot restore my ipod because iTunes freezes and then shuts down.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
Try restart.
If that fails to solve the issue, try reset, and so on.

HT1386 itunes recognizes my ipod but wont sync. I have just done a system restore.

After system restore, ipod wont sync. itunes recognizes my device but sync starts and then abruptly stops.

Are you still signed into your Apple ID on the iPod? Just noticed that you have the iPod classic. Maybe you would be better off posting elsewhere. Try here.

I have had problems syncing on my Windows XP computer and yesterday I got my laptop back with a virus removed and was able to sync. Then I updated the operating system to 5.0 and now the restore won't work. Please help! I got error code 50.

I have had problems syncing my iPhone 4 and my iPad on my Windows XP laptop. My computer had a virus and spyware, but is now fixed. I was then able to sync both phone and ipad, but when I tried to update to ios-5.0, the update worked, but the restore would not. Now I don't know what to do with my phone. Is there a way to get the restore to work, or should I set it up as a new phone. I have lots of apps, etc. that I do not want to lose.

Hello,

2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Have you installed any new hardware on this computer, before the issue appeared?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?

I want to keep my current firefox session (which is around 50 tabs) after I have upgraded my operating system to Windows 7, how do I do this?

As above, I want to retain my current firefox session after I have upgraded to Windows 7

The ''sessionstore.js'' file in your profile folder stores your currently open tabs and windows. You can create a backup copy of this file and place it in your new Firefox profile.
* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
To be extra-safe, it's a good idea to right-click a tab and choose '''Bookmark All Tabs''', then create a backup copy of your bookmarks for safekeeping.
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]

My MacBook Pro will not boot. When I inserted the OSx installation DVD, there is no hard drive to select. I can't eject the DVD either. Do I need to reinstall the operating system? Please help!

I forgot to mention that there is a grey screen on startup also a flashing folder with a question mark. I have tried the solutions offered on these forum pages. I cannot get past the disk utility screen.

Regarding the DVD in the optical drive:

The MBP cannot find the OSX, and either the HDD or connector has failed. If you can get the installation DVD to work, start the installation process and when the menu bar appears on the display, select 'Utilities'. From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility>First Aid and run 'Verify' and 'Repair'. If unsuccessful, a new HDD is in your future.
If you cannot get the DVD to function, then a trip to an Apple store is your best option.
Ciao.
