My Wife and I are both getting an getting an error message please help!!!

We both got this error message: Your ipod needs to be reformatted for use with windows, and i get the option to open itunes. When i do, itunes says (On Both ipods)
that an ipod appears to be corrupted and that it needs to be restored. When i restore it it deletes every thing and restarts on its own like i said it would. afterwords i unplug it and replug it and i get the same error message from windows and itunes. I have tried 5 times and nothing, i have even tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling from itunes.com and nothing. What could be the problem?

You could be having a drive letter collision. Do you have other devices connected to the USB chain?

  • My wife and I are both Family Sharing Organizers of each other's group! How do I stop this and have me as the only Family Member Organizer with my wife as a member of my group?

    This new Family Sharing idea is great on the surface, but without some management tools to fix problems its worthless. Case in point - somehow, when my wife and I upgraded our iPads to 8.0.2, I decided to become the organizer, since my Apple ID is the one that does all the purchases. But somehow, while I was setting up my wife's Apple ID with iCloud (she was originally set up with my iCloud id), I became a part of her Family Sharing plan with *her* becoming the organizer. Now I'm the organizer on my iPad with her as a member, and she's the Family Sharing organizer on her iPad with me as a member!
    I've tried everything, including erasing both iPads and even creating new Apple ids for the both of us, but both Family Sharing accounts just reappear out of nowhere when we reboot. Is there any way to get rid of both our Family Sharing accounts so we can start over again?
    Thanks

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • Trying to sync iPhone 4 with itunes and get an error message PLEASE help

    I am currently using and iPhone 4. This morning I had synced my iPhone with itunes and it was working fine. I came home and wanted to add some music and such to it and all of a sudden i will plug it in to itunes and i,t looks like its going gets to step 2 of 6 (which is the back up process) and then an error message comes up saying itunes has stopped working, my only option to do is exit the window..
    Any ideas why this would be the case? its really frustrating me. I am also not the most computer savvy.
    Thanks

    Try reinstalling iTunes  http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If that doesn't help, if you are using a Windows based computer, could be your anti virus software or your firewall that's preventing the sync.

  • Wifi connection: error messages:Please help!

    I have perfect connection from home. For a year now I have brought me laptop to work and wifi worked perfectly.
    2 days ago I got a message box saying something like isp settings xxx were already in use....and I could not connect.
    Today the message I get is "self assigned" Ip address.
    I read through alot of confusing suggestions to fix this...
    before I try anything...my main concern is:
    Since everything works perfectly from my home location, I don't want to do anything to mess that up.
    When I go to internet setup..when I click on my WORK location..will trying some of the fixes ONLY apply to the WORK setup?
    (not that I really know what to try once I am at that point)

    I just tried going to the network preferences and to my work settings...in advanced...
    set it to automatic and nothing changed.

  • I keep getting "ViewNX Quit unexpectedly" Error Message Need Help

    I keep getting this message can't open my view nx and get this huge list of "problem details and system configuration" Can someone please help.  I'm using Snow leopard and 1.5.2 of viewnx.

    JaequelineH,
    That product is not an Apple product so you may also want to research with the manufacturer.
    You can try some basic resets such as a SMC and PRAM reset but before doing that restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It is possible one has become corrupt. Please report back what happens after restarting in Safe Mode, then restarting normally and testing.

  • Cannot update to iTunes 8.2 - get error message, please help???

    I have Windows Vista. When I try to update to iTunes 8.2 (which I need for the new iPhone 3Gs I bought yesterday), I get this error message:
    "Errors Occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose 'Tools > Download Only' and try installing manually"
    I've read a lot of the posts and tried 'repairing' the Apple Software Updater, and that doesn't work.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I am in the same boat.
    I originally had the same error. So I tried the following unsuccessfully:
    - Download Only, several times and on 2 different computers, one with XP and one with Vista o/s
    - Downloading from the Apple site, several times over the last 3-4 days and each time it gets to a different % downloaded and then stops and after a while returns an error.
    - I've tried uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime
    - I've tried clear the cache, delete all cookies etc.
    I upgraded my phone using a friends computer and now I can't connect to iTunes at all as it is not compatible (and the computer I uninstalled it from I can't download it to reinstall.
    Not sure what else to try. A friend warned me that iTunes was problematic and frustrating to use, but I bought an iPhone anyway and now understand what they mean!

  • OS system feezes and show up error messages, please help

    My OS X window suddenly freezes and a bunch of error messages
    appear overlaying the window. How can I fix this? I tried to boot
    from CD but unsuccessful, I then tried cmd S and fixed partitions
    and final reboot. Windows opens up for 1 minute and same symptoms
    appear.

    Welcome To Discussions Macd@y!
    The first thing you should do is run Repair Disk.
    If you still can't startup from the CD, try using the Startup Manager.
    THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
    1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
    2.Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu, on the Menubar at the top of the screen.
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
    3.Click the First Aid tab.
    4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
    6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
    7.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    8.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
    9.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
    10.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
    Please report the findings, and your system specs.
    What is "Other OS"?

  • I opened my iPod nano 6g to fix the sleep button and now when i connect i get an error message, PLEASE help!!

    earlier i was bored and decided to open my iPod Nano 6th Generation to see if i could fix the broken sleep button, i think when i was removing the battery i might have beat it up a little, and idk if i did anything wrong to the logic board, now when i connect it it says, "USB Device Not Recognized, One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it" and it gets hot when i charge it and the music doesnt play even if i use the headphones with controls on them, it was working fine earlier:(

    They are pretty much designed to fail after about a year so you will have to buy a replacement.  I would suggest an earlier model or to take your business elsewhere.  I have gone through my fourth and final ipod nano 6th generation.

  • I have installed my lexmark x1100 printer to macpro but it keeps telling me that the ink pots are wrong and they are not how can over ride this issue please help

    I have installed my lexmark x1100 printer to my macpro lion but though it registers its there it keeps telling me that the inkjet pots are not in position or wrongly inserted, how can I overcome this problem which is driving me crackers!!!!!

    Thanks for the additional info. If the printer works using your Dell Laptop, then the printer is working fine. The problem is with the driver. The Lexmark X1100 is only compatible up to Mac OS 9.2.2. If you have the Mac OS X, unfortunately, it's not compatible with that OS.
    You might want to consider purchasing a new printer - preferably a network printer since you have multiple computers. We do have printers that are currently on sale online. You can check it out here: http://bit.ly/KQBDe0
    Those printers are compatible with the newest Operating Systems both for Windows and Mac. It also has drivers for Linux.
