"No Content" problem still happening, tried all the little fixes. Any updates 3 years later?

The last post was archived and ended in 2010. Now, in 2012, I am still having this problem.
There have been several little fixes that people have come up with, but unfortunately, none of them work for me! These may include zonealarm, language settings, playing iPod through iTunes, and others.
I'm assuming there was never a fix released. Is anyone else STILL suffering along with me?
I have an iPod touch, first generation. Without music, this device's PRIMARY purpose is dead...gr!

  • I've tried all the reported fixes to make Time Machine to get past 9.5 GB.

    I've tried all the reported fixes to make Time Machine to get past 9.5 GB. This is a brand new iMac that came with 10.4.11 installed, we then installed 10.5.2 that came in the box for this machine. I have a new 150GB Firewire HD that I formated and partitioned using "GUID" scheme. I repaired permissions on the iMac HD, with no errors. I tried "safe mode", reformatting and everything else that I can think of. Time machine still won't get by that 9. something GB and reports the error. Any help with this will be appreciated, Richard Dion (508) 881-2535

    Can you detail what the error is, and what fixes you have tried?

    Is your printer selected? <br />
    Is '''Print to File''' selected, where the web page is being printed to a file and not being sent to your printer?

  • I cannot get apps  to appear in my library menu so i can update them through iTunes. Happened since update to 11.0.2.Have tried all the suggested fixes such as making  the sidebar appear etc New update is 'nasty'

    As stated no matter how hard i try i CANNOT get apps to appear in my sidebar library menu so i can update them through itunes.Has only happened since last update of itunes .Really wish i hadn't updated as i have never had an issue b4.Spent most of day on fone to apple yesterday as the update created an issue that meant i could not sync at all.Anyway thanks to 'james' in arizona we sorted the first piece of trouble the update created .(sortof).
    Not sure why it has to be messed with.Well i spose it is progress!!!
    I've looked at lots of posts re this and tried all the suggestions but just cannot get the magic 'apps' category to appear in my sidebar in itunes???
    One suggestion was that the apps if clicked on would have an 'update ' button but all i can do is delete them
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
    (running osx 10.7.5 on MBP -slightly tricky cos i also run windows in a 'bootcamped' partition.Mind u itunes etc is in mac partition and has been working fine for the last 10 years!!!!!!!!!)

    I'm going to assume that you use only one Apple ID so the two things that I can think of are to quite all processes and restart all devices and then try to sync those apps again. Quit iTunes, restart your computer and the iPad and then try to sync the apps again.
    The other thing would be to try to reset your iTunes account by signing in and out of the account on the iPad. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account and try again.

  • My I touch gets very hot when charging, and it won't turn on.  I've tried all the resets/fixes and it does not respond.  Any Ideas?

    I have tried charging my itouch on the computer, in a docking station, and it gets very hot.  It won't turn on, even after trying all the resets I've read on this site.  Any ideas what the problem is?  Is it fixable?

    Hey Halefarm, What happens if you connect directly with the charging source with your cable, no docking station? Since resetting did not help, try connecting directly with the cable to your power source and your iPod. Next  try a different cable, there could be a short in the one you are currently using. If still will not charge correctly, I'm leaning in the direction of a failing battery. Set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated by Apple. Have your iPod evaluated for possible battery issues. Take the cable and dock and have them tested as well. If it is a failing battery, you choices are; replace the battery, either through Apple or third party shop. Replace it yourself, if you can. Or,  you look into getting a new iPod. I don't have the cost of a new battery for an iPod 3, but I'm sure it's under $100. Check with Apple for exact pricing. Good luck, Cheers.

  • Firefox will not save my tabs or prompt asking if I want to save tabs. When it reopens it doesn't even bring up my home pages which have been properly saved. I have tried all the suggested fixes - the problem persists even in safe mode.

    Firefox does not prompt to save my tabs nor does it bring them back when it reopens. It does not even bring up my home page. I have tried the suggested fixes in the help section. This still happens in safe mode so I tried disabling plugins etc. - no change.

    this should solve some of your problem if it is because you got the '''newer''' version!!

  • Q5 is not starting/booting up. Tried all the solutions. Any suggestion?

    Hello,
    Around after two-three minutes, from when the battery of my Q5 was remaining around 2 percent, the device restarted automatically while I was typing an email.
    While it was rebooting, I plugged in the charger. But somehow there was an infinite loop of rebooting process. The device was rebooting itself as soon as it was started. This happened for three times (three reboots). So while it was booting up for the third time, I unplugged the charger. This time it started normally. I waited for few moments, everything seemed OK, so I plugged it again. It re-started itself after I plugged it in, and started the loop again.
    So I removed the charger. I was busy at the moment, but after 15-20 minutes, when I looked at the device, it was turned off. I don’t know why it was turned off though. I mean, whether cuz the battery was drained or cuz of some other reason.
    Then I connected it to the charger, but the orange LED didn’t turn up. I waited for few (clock) minutes, no response from LED. I tried to turn on the device by pressing the power key, no response.
    Then I turned on the laptop with MS Windows/Link on it, while device was still connected. Windows did not show any sign of a USB device being connected to the laptop. I opened up Link, I tried to reload the software. No luck there as the device can’t be reset as required by Link.
    So, I checked if the USB cable was working, by connecting my Bold. I checked my Q5’s charger by connecting Bold to it. Everything was OK.
    Then I searched online, and found these/threads solutions:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Q5/Blackberry-Q5-turned-off-and-wont-turn-back-on/...
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Q5/Can-t-start-up-Q5-after-shutdown/m-p/2610451#M6...
    What I’ve done so far (before posting here):
    •    Checked the working state of charger/cable, and plugged it in the outlet (wall, not computer).
    •    Left the device charging for almost three hours (no any activity from LED during this period)
    •    After three hours, tried to start the device in usual manner. Held the power key for almost 20 seconds, no reaction from device/LED.
    •    Pressed both the volume keys simultaneously for almost 30 seconds. No response.
    •    Tried the last two steps again after disconnecting the device from charger.
    Further details:
    •    All the installed apps, are installed from the BlackBerry World itself. No other apps were installed, not even .apk s.
    •    No media is stored on device memory, I keep everything on MMC. In total, usually 20 megabytes of the device memory is occupied by “user files”. These files contains only pdf, word, and .txt files.
    •    At any given moment (at least in last two months), almost 50% of the device memory is free.
    I am not sure what the exact problem is. I mean, whether it is hardware or software malfunction. As I’m in India, usually after 20 minutes of charging backside of the device gets a little warm. Today, even after 3 hours of charging, the device is cold.
    I do not have any problem to wipe the device clean/reloading the software. I’ve everything backed up; and I use enterprise on other BB device. All I want to do is to get the device started in any way, as soon as possible.
    Please help folks!!
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Best Regards,
    keypaduser.

    You've done a pretty thorough job of troubleshooting. At this point I'd say it's time to contact your provider and get a warranty exchange (if it's less than a year old.)

  • Error during movie encoding - tried all the common things, any suggestions?

    HI, Attempting to burn a DVD from iDVD 7.11
    I'm getting the "Encoding Error: There was an error during movie encoding" dialogue at the end of an attempted burn. Tried several times and many of the suggestions already on the forum
    I have "shared" the movie from iMovie. When it first opens iDVD I have to change the default setting of "best Performance" to "Professional Quality" and the video mode to PAL (I'm in Australia). I change it both in the preferences pane (a change which seems to be ignored when I restart the program) and in the project info.
    - I'm trying just to make a disc image, but haven't got past this first step to getting it to DVD...
    - There is only the movie in my project (I've not added audio or pics in iDVD)
    - I've used the "Modern" theme and deleted the default drop zones and menu audio,
    - I've checked the chapter markers are not at the start of the movie or near any transitions,
    - There are no special characters in the titles,
    - All titles and menus are within the TV safe zone,
    - I've deleted the com.apple.iMovie.plst files and emptied trash,
    - I've tried deleting encoded assets,
    - Repaired permissions, restarted the computer, checked for updated software,
    - (tried a "safe boot" as someone suggested somewhere, but the program couldn't find the movie or audio files),
    - I have 660GB free on the main hard drive,
    - I've disconnected external drives,
    - no error appear in map view,
    - I preview the project and all appears fine,
    The original footage was filmed for me. I was given a DVD which I ripped into an MP4, import into iMovie, edited the audio, added AIFF audio, added a jpeg image and 2 transitions. (Unfortunately the audio on the original I was given is unusable, else I could just copy the DVD I was given.)
    So if anyone has further suggestions as to what might resolve this issue, please let me know!

    Thanks for your post F, much appreciated
    The project is 123 minutes, 4.16GB and it's being broadcast on TV, so I need max quality I can get (without spending money!)
    I think I have sort of solved the problem - addressing what you've identified in a slightly different way.
    Since my previous post, I noticed that clicking on the "Media" tab in the side pane, and selecting "Movies", my project was listed, but when I clicked on it, rather than the thumbnail I get on other movies I've processed, I got this text:
    "This iMovie project can't be used because it hasn't been prepared for sharing yet. To prepare it for sharing, open it in iMovie and choose Share > Media Browser.... "
    I did that (7 hours processing) then successfully created the disc image (2 hours processing). I have now burnt the DVD using disc utility (1 hour processing). It plays OK on the computer, but I'll need to check it on a normal player before marking this as thread solved (I don't have one here at home).
    Unfortunately somewhere in all this processing the video has significantly lost quality. I thought I'd used all the highest quality setting, but will have to go back and check each step again. Unless someone reading this post has noticed anything I've done so far that would compromise video quality. The audio is fine - which for this project is the most important aspect.
    So in regard to my initial problem; it seems there is a problem in iDVD not recognising/remembering the set preferences when using the "Share > iDVD " function in iMovie.
    To summarise my solution for anyone else who experiences the same issue,
    When sending a project from iMovie using "Share > iDVD " it seems you must also choose "Share > Media Browser.... "
    This may be specific only to the case where PAL is required.
    PS
    I should also note, incase it made any difference, that I found the default headings in the chapter menus had dashes in them (i.e. it defaults to "Scenes 1 - 6", so I changed to "Scenes 1 to 6"). The only other modification I made since my original post was using stills instead of moving thumbnails for the chapter selection.

  • Apple TV does not work.  I have tried all the suggested fixes including reinstalling itunes and nothing has worked.

    My apple tv quit working and I have done everythng listed on Apple's site as well as other help sites and nothing has fixed the problem.  I have restarted and reset the apple tv, I have reinstalled itunes and I turned off and reset my router.  All to no avail.  Any suggetions?

    Port is open and router recognizes the Apple TV.  I noticed on the web that certain Apple TV's had problems and Apple was replacing the units.  I am going to take the unit to the Apple Store and have the it checked to see if it is one of the units that don't work with the latest version of itunes.
    Thanks, for your help.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Gen - not recognized by computer or itunes.  Shows cable pointing to itunes logo.  Can't reset it.  Doesn't work at all.  Have tried all the supposed fixes on the apple site with no luck.  It suggested asking other users !

    I have a 3rd Generation ipod touch that is not recognized by itunes or my computer.  My itunes works with other apple devices I own.  I cannot reset the ipod touch and can never get to the screen where it is supposed to show a red battery to turn it off.  I can't reset it.  Have tried to use the suggestions on the apple site to no avail.  Any suggestions ?

    From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes.  Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue.  To update or not to update?  And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
    I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista.  My workflow dictates 32b fyi.  One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126),  5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day.  My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12)  Windows mounts it just fine.  itunes is not having it.  no shirt no shoes no service.
    I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano.  The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad!  Weird huh?  I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
    I'm at a loss on the thinkpad.  Scanned for intruders.  Cut the Lenovo bloat.  Executed system and reg maintenance.  Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail.  NO NO NO.  Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad.  Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update.  :|
    So in summary for me:
    5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^  last working version for me = 11.0.1
    5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0  but no way in the world am I updating
    4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

  • IPhone apps not opening - have tried all the usual fixes

    A few days ago I got my iPhone unlocked from my provider (Telstra) as I am about to travel and wanted to put a country specific sim in it. Since then no non-Apple apps have worked.
    I have tried (many times) to :-
    1. restore from a previous backup (plus multiple syncs) and using different backups
    2. delete an app and reinstall it
    3. download a new free app (and when that didn't work I deleted it and retried installing it)
    4. sign in and out of the app store on the iphone
    5. sign in and out of the app store on my iMac
    6. de-authorise and re-authorise my iMac
    7. wipe the iPhone clean and start with a fresh install
    8. And reset the device too many times.
    Nothing I have found on any site has worked. I thought the wipe the phone clean would have done it but it hasn't.I have wasted about 20 hours trying to get this thing working again.
    If I wasn't going on vacation tomorrow I would be at my provider getting them to fix their mess but I can't.
    Can anyone help? Please?
    iPhone 4S
    (Apps are active - just won't stay open)

    Further - the AppleId I am using is the one I first started with years ago - where all my music and app purchases have been made. Signing out of this AppleId and then signing in using my "me.com" address and downloading an app under this address allows the new app (and only the new app) to work. And it continues to work when I sign out and sign back in with the original AppleId.
    This is really annoying as I have heaps of paid apps that aren't working.

  • TS1368 I tried all the above.  Any other thoughts. Thanks

    Tried all support options any other thoughts?

    Hello Gradesetter,
    I was looking into our resources to try and find a way to troubleshoot not being able to connect to the iTunes Store and found another article for troubleshooting the issue. It is called iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297.
    Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)
    Make sure the issue is with the iTunes Store only. (You need an Internet connection to access the iTunes Store).Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for the iTunes Store. This also tests if the main ports 80 and 443 are accessible. If the website works but the iTunes Store does not, it is most likely a firewall blocking the iTunes software or servers. If this is the case, follow the steps in the "Blocked by software firewall" section below.
    Test using another device.If possible, another device, ideally on a different network, would help troubleshooting any iTunes Store issues most efficiently. If another device on another network has issues, the iTunes Store may be undergoing maintenance, and will be available soon.
    Test using another network.
    Connect your computer or device to another network and testing helps determine the next step. This is also helpful if multiple devices are affected.
    If your device can connect to Wi-Fi and a cellular network, larger downloads may not be possible over the cellular network.
    If the issue disappears while connected to another network, you may need to work with your support options to open access to:
    itunes.apple.com
    ax.itunes.apple.com
    ax.init.itunes.apple.com
    albert.apple.com
    gs.apple.com
    ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
    mzstatic.com
    Note: iTunes may use the fully qualified version of these addresses for additional security.
    iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
    It is critical that your date, time, and time zone be correct:Windows:
    Click Start and then click Control Panel.
    Click "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options" and then click Date and Time.
    Click the Date & Time tab.
    Make sure that the date and time settings are configured to use the current date and time and then click OK.
    Remove any restrictions that may be causing the issue:
    Windows:
    It is recommended you use iTunes from an administrator account.
    Refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.
    You can also check using iTunes Diagnostics if you are recognized as an administrator by iTunes.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • TS1631 On an off for the last week or so I have had same problem with my iPhone 4. No sound or no bars show up when trying to increase the volume. I've had it for 14 months and no problem.  I've tried all the little tips re turning it off and also holding

    Sound on my iPhone 4S is messed up, tips and suggestions left by others not working any more. At first turning it off for a while worked, when turned it back in the keyboard click would work for a few keystrokes but now not even that.  Had the phone for a bit more than a year, so I know my sound is on and checked all my settings. Posted suggestions from support is not helpful. I guess next step is to take it in for repair? Or is this Apple's way of telling us to upgrade? :(

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    FYI, Apple does not repair iPhones.  If basic troubleshooting does not resolve either purchase a new iPhone or take the device to Apple for an Out of Warranty replacement which is $199US for the 4S.

  • French characters fail to display properly (have tried all the regular fixes)

    I am updating a website with french characters and they are not displaying correctly. This website has been live for a long time and had no problems, but while updating some wording/punctuation on the development (before rolling it into live), I am seeing that my characters are failing. We recently bought CF Builder 2 and I believe this to be the problem, as I had something similar happen like this - but with an email blast - a while ago (I ended up having another worker develop the code on his PC with a different program).
    I have googled this and have ensured the following settings are correct:
    window-->preferences-->workspace--->text-file encoding: UTF-8
    project-->properties-->general-->text-file encoding: UTF-8
    I've also tried putting
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" >
    at the top of my pages and they still display incorrect characters when french accents are used.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Cameron

  • Wifi is working and accessible on my IPad and IPhone but can not connect with another iPad.  I've tried all the listed fixes, forget network reentering password.  The iPad sees the network but the wheel keeps spinning.  Help thanks.

    Wifi working on 1 iPad and iPhone but not on another IPad (same model). All posted fixes tried with no help.  The iPad recognizes the network but the wheel keeps spinning.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    first step would be reboot
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1 the cure for most ios ills
    then I would troubleshoot by taking it to another wifi network to see if it had problems in general with wifi
    then if it did not then I would try to update the firmware of my wifi router for better compatability
