New shuffle works with Windows but not with Mac

Just got a new 2nd gen shuffle. Initially it was formatted as Fat32 per Disk Utility on Mac. I reformatted to Mac OS (journaled). iTunes was recognizing the new shuffle on the mac and I created a playlist that showed it took up disk space in the "summary" tab. However nothing played on the shuffle when I disconnected it. I was trying to update the software but that function is greyed out. I tried to click "enable disc use" and when I applied it, it says it can't find the ipod. It wont let me update anything. The only thing I can do is create a playlist that the summary says is on the ipod but it doesnt play.
I then connected it to my Windows XP machine and it asked me to reformat the drive, which I did, then everything worked flawlessly. I would really prefer to download things to the shuffle from my Mac than Windows XP but it just won't let me. I tried using "iPod Updater" and the most recent one from the list was 03/2006 and that didn't help anyhting. "iPod Reset Utility" would not recognize the ipod to reset it even after I sucessfully set it to Mac OS journaled in Disk Utility.
I am very frustrated. This also happened to my Nano I purchased a few months ago and I have to organize it on the PC as well.
I am running iTunes 7.2

I have exactly the same problem with my two
computers, both of which are Macs. The shuffle is
recognised on one, but not the other.
Here's a screenshot of iTunes ->

t-recognised.png
BTW, I also have an older white iPod in use on the
Mac that doesn't work.
I've tried a few things (including running iTunes
under a different user account, reinstalling iTunes)
but nothing seems to help. The only thing left to do
is reinstall the OS, but that sounds a little extreme!
That's way too extreme... Use the shuffle Reset Utility.

Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
It's the same problem in the other feed.

AIRPORT WORKS ON WINDOWS BUT NOT ON MAC OSX

I own a Mac Mini Intel and I have installed Windows XP with bootcamp. In Windows XP I can connect to my wireless router (and Internet)without problem, but not in Mac OSX. I had this problem with the 10.4.x version, and although I have upgraded to Leopard, the problem continues the same. I can access the router in Windows and change any settings (I say that for if someone knows the solution and it includes changes in the router). Has someone had this problem before? Has someone any solution to this problem? Thank you.

Yes i Seem to be experiencing a similar problem as you, in which connecting to a router on OS X is easy but as soon as i try it on windows xp it cannot establish a connection but my router is already connectingto other windows pcs. Maybe this is because windows cannot recognizethe built in airport, or perhaps it needs to be configured in a way to work with both Xp and os X

Firefox works at mcdonalds with windows but not with linux

I have Windows 7 Pro and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my laptop. I use firefox browser on both OS's. I am able to connect to internet when I use Windows OS and run firefox at McDonalds. But, when I try to use firefox and Ubuntu OS it will not connect while at McDonalds. Otherwise, the Ubuntu distro and firefox work fine everywhere else.

Thanks for the response. To narrow this down a bit more, the wireless makes the connection to their router, but, mozilla does not bring up the splash page that is needed to accept their connection. Again, it only happens when running firefox with Ubuntu; not when running firefox with Windows.

Laptop monitor stays black with Windows but not with Ibuntu

Can someone tell me why my daughter's Compaq laptop has no video, monitor is black, in Windows Vista but works fine with Ibuntu? The service shop said it is a bad video card but wouldn't that apply to the computer and not work in either operating system. I keep trying to repair it in Vista but this has me really puzzled. If it works with one OS shouldn't it work with the other?

Hello, @cliftram
I see that the screen is black on your daughters notebook. That you've installed another OS and it was working. I will try to help you with this.
The short answers to your questions, would you're right.
"wouldn't that apply to the computer and not work in either operating system" - Yes, if the issue was a faulty graphics's card neither OS would work.
"If it works with one OS shouldn't it work with the other?" -- same answer as above.
What this indicates, is there's an issue on the Windows side.
As i'm on sure where the black screen occurs, but try booting into Safe Mode. If you can do this, then something may be going on with the OS or driver.
If you got into safe mode, try a clean boot first. Restart and try starting up normally. If this works an application on the computer is causing the issue. If to doesn't try, using the HP Recovery Manager to restore all the drivers on the notebook. (if your model doesn't have this, pleas let me know).
If you cannot even boot into Safe Mode, the only option left (if you haven't tried it), is a System Recovery (for the Windows side). Make sure you back up prior to doing this.
Let me know what you're able to do.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Super Drive works on Windows but not on Mac OS X

I used Mac OS X to burn a DVD, used different media but it always spits the DVD out saying an unexpected error occured. Am able to burn to the same DVDs on Windows (Boot Camp).
Unable to find a solution.

You might try pointing JaNeLA *(<- link)* at it, and fixing any errors it reports. Ignore any optimisations suggested. The optimisations are not properly debugged and would not cause the kind of errors you report.
Oh, and a ++++ to that advice to to ensure the console pops open when encountering a web start app. Make sure the code is not [swallowing exceptions|http://pscode.org/javafaq.html#stacktrace] *(<- link)* at any stage.

CS6 Plugin works on windows but not mac

Hi,
We have been developing a plugin for InDesign since CS3 and have recently ported it to CS6 (it was ported to all previous versions too, as they came out).
I followed the porting guide etc. and on windows it compiles and runs just ok - the plugin works correctly.
But when i compiled the same files on our mac machine and put the .indesignPlugin file in th plugins directory i can't see our plugin's context menu.
I can see that it is in fact loaded on startup (when i remove it ID loads 325 extensions, when i put it back - 326), but still it dosen't seem to work...
I initially thought that the versioning was off but our PluginVersion resource relies solemnly on SDKDef.h , i also tried putiing the file in CS5's plugin directory and got an error message that CS6 is required - so the version info is fine i guess.
We are using xCode 3.2.5 (because we have to support Mac OS 10.5 and 10.4) to build on mac and i've never had problems before - it worked on CS4, CS5 and CS5.5.
The changes i made when porting were minor and only in the code - so what has changed? and how come it works on windows but not on mac?
Any input is greatly appreciated, i've already spent days trying to understand this.
Thanks,
Dan.

Hi and thank you for replying.
The resources do get compiled correctly (i assume this because we do get a .indesign file at the end - which means the ODFRC ran ok). they are linked correctly in the mac project (i saw a file that determines the version - it's linked the same way against my win and mac projects and the win version works fine so i guess that's ok too).
the context menu is just another menu on the "menu bar" (don't know how to call it?) - i.e where the "file" and "edit" etc. menus are.
I can't seem to understand how come this works fine under windows but not under mac - they are essentially the same projects linked against the same resources (the difference being iCode vs VC10 projects).
can this be related to the fact we're using xCode 3.2.5?
Thank you.

Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
Thanks,

ShowDocument works on Windows but not Mac

     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
          String command = ae.getActionCommand();
          if(command.equals("save"))
               String insertHTML = getDocumentText();
               showDoc("ProcessPage.asp?BodyCopy='Test'","_blank");
     //Shows a document (htm,asp,..) in a frame
     private void showDoc(String urlstr, String frameName) {
          int pos = getDocumentBase().toString().lastIndexOf("/");
          String DocBase = getDocumentBase().toString().substring(0, pos+1);
          System.out.println("openURL: "+DocBase + urlstr);
          try
          {     URL url = new URL(DocBase + urlstr);
               AppletContext j = getAppletContext();
               j.showDocument(url, frameName); }

          {     System.out.println("new URL() failed for: "+ DocBase + urlstr); }
          catch (IOException e) // openConnection() failed
          {     System.out.println("openConnection() failed for: "+ DocBase + urlstr); }
I am trying to open up a new web page from an applet using showDocument. This works fine on Windows but not on Mac. The applet I am working with extends JApplet. Does anybody have any suggestions?

This is not working for me either. After issuing the showDocument(url, target) command I never see the request come into my webserver log. Although, it only seems to not work when the Mac is setup as Japanese. I know this doesn't make any sense.

Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

BB does sync media with PC but not with Mac

my BB does sync media with PC but not with Mac. At my Mac I got 'Insert media card'. How can this be solved as PC is no problem?

I got the Bold 9790. I am not sure which OS, does that matter? Are there OS versions not compatible?

Slide show works on PCs but not on Macs

A parent at the school where I teach has just created a
website for us. She used Dreamweaver and photoshop to create it.
There are some pages where there should be a looping slide show
(that runs on its own). These slide shows work on PCs but not on
Macs (it just stays on one photo on Macs). For the slide show she
"just added a timeline to the jpg image, changing the imagesource
every 60 frames, that you can do in dreamweaver." Is there some way
to fix this so it works on both?
Here's the school's website: www.smash.smmusd.org

Unfortunately, the timeline function may not be the best way
to do this.
Notwithstanding Joe's comments about 508 compliance, there
have been issues
reported in the past regarding the use of timelines on Macs.
It may be
better to seek some 'banner rotation' scripts using Google,
and replace the
timelines with that script. Your volunteer may or may not
know how to do
that....

My phone is not showing up in itunes. I want to sync it. I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes. What do I do now? It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac. Help!

My phone is not showing up in itunes. I want to sync it. I have a MAC and I have restarted the phone, it's charged, I have the most current version of itunes. What do I do now? It says to reinstall itunes if you have windows but not for mac. Help!

With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up. If not, you are having a sync problem. If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.
