PLEASE HELP?  Desperate, I can't get the iPod to Restore!!

In desperation, I want to restore my ipod, as nothing else I have tried has worked.
I cannot get to that step. I have done everything I am supposed to, going by Apple's list, and nothing has worked.
I have uninstalled iTunes, and reinstalled. I have gone down their list, and nothing is working, the updater won't recognize that the ipod is connected, even though it is, and is showing up in Windows.
PLEASE HELP ME?

Have you tried dropping your Ipod? I read it on these forums and decided to try it myself. I dropped it 3 times from waist height onto a carpet. It has worked fine since.

  • Please help! I can't get my iPod to sync with iTunes on my PC?

    This problem is really frustrating and I would really appreciate some guidance because I'm completely stuck. I have been trying for many hours over the past few days to get my iPod touch to sync with iTunes on my PC. When I plug my iPod touch into my PC, iTunes opens up and this message pops up:
    "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    I have completely removed iTunes from my PC several times and reinstalled it several times but this message continues to pop up and its really annoying because I can't put my music onto my iPod. I have followed instructions on the apple website which were to temove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel and then restart the PC and reinstall iTunes again. I've tried this several times and it simply didn't work and the error message continues to pop up when I plug my iPod into my PC. I really need to know what is the software required so that I can use my iPod with iTunes on my PC. I can't explain how much I'd appreciate help with this. Thanks in advance.
    Do I need to install software on my iPod or on my PC? :S

    Two ideas, but what version of Windows? what versions of iTunes? did you manually remove what the uninstaller left behind as outlined in Apple support article?
    Did you upgrade to iOS 5 or not? what version? what about your iPod Touch model?
    Backup its backup. Backup content.
    USB is directly connected to a motherboard port?
    Have you had to restore the iPod?
    Also, many have pointed finger at Apple Mobile Service needing to be restarted first, then launch iTunes and then connect iPod.
    Create a new Windows partition and use that to do a clean install and for testing. Always works.
    Some security software. Microsoft Security Essentials does an excellent job, free, works.
    I have not read or seen "the req'd software is not installed" mentioned by others, but could easily miss (new to iPod + iTunes myself and there were so many threads when iOS 5 came out).

    You were already provided the answer. If you do not have a backup of the phone while the photos were on the phone, they are gone. When you restore your phone from an old backup, anything that has been saved to the phone since that backup is deleted. Sorry.

  • Please help. How can i get my mic to work??

    + Hi all
    I have a creative inspire 5. 5700 hooked up to my X-FI extreme music via Digital I/O port.
    However im a bit pissed off because i cant get a microphone to work, it seems that the port i use my speakers for is the same port as the microphone..
    Any ideas how to get my mic to work without unplugging the digital I/O?
    Cheers

    /Re: Please help. How can i get my mic to work? The only solution that I can think of is to get the?X-Fi I/O Dri've. Unfortunately, Creative does not sell this anymore on their store. You can buy it online, though most places I find it at, it is refurbished.
    This is what it looks like: http://us.creative.com/products/prod...5&product=4659#
    The other alternati've is the X-Fi I/O Console. This, however is rather expensi've (I think it is anyways).

    Unfortunately those are the only ways I know of. The X-Fi Xtreme Music does not hook into normal front panel solutions.

  • On Maverick my i cloud will not change the verification phone number even though I have change the phone number in apple and on contacts and restarted the computer. Help? I can't get the code necessary to fix the keychain.

    On Maverick my i cloud will not change the verification phone number even though I have change the phone number in apple and on contacts and restarted the computer. Help? I can't get the code necessary to fix the keychain without it.

    You can change the phone number the verification code is sent to from a device or Mac that has your iCloud keychain enabled as follows:
    In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    In OS X Mavericks v10.9, choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you don't have access to a device or Mac with your iCloud keychain enabled, you'll have to contact Apple support to verify your identity and get assistance making the change: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

    Ask the store for a local Macintosh Users Group / Club... maybe someone there can help you. You might check pawn shops in the area for a machine that has a full set of disks. Apple will sell/mail you a set. I don't know of anyplace to legitimately download them... For what its worth any commercial (e.g. full retail version) install of OS X on disk should work for your machine.

  • Please Help!! How to get the width of the String for print out?

    Hi there,
    I need to do some printing in my application. I just want to know how can I get the width of the string when it is printed on the paper.
    I have tried to use the following code to get the width
    Rectangle2D rec = font.getStringBounds(str, new FontRenderContext(null, true, true));
    double width = rec.getWidth();
    however, the width I got from that function is not correct (the returned width is longer than the printed one)
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Thank you and Happy New Year !

    hi,
    The getFontMetrics(Font) is also defined in the Component class and therefore you can retrieve it even if you dont override the paint method.
    try the following (provided ur code extends some class that extends Component indirectly)
    FontMetrics f = this.getFontMetrics(this.getFont());
    int width = f.stringWidth(str); //str is the String for which u need to check the width.
    hope this was useful
    happy holidayz

  • Please Help!  I can't get Itunes or Quicktime to install properly

    Ok, I'm about fed up. I'm trying to get itunes installed along with quicktime, and everytime it goes through the installation & says everything is ok, but then when I try to run Itunes, it comes up an error. The problem seems to be with quicktime, b/c when I click on the quicktime applet in the control panel, I get "An exception occurs while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
    The error I get when I try to pull up Itunes is:
    Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry.....yadda yadda...
    So then I click on more info, and I get this:
    Exception Information
    Code: 0xc0000005 Flags: 0x00000000
    Record: 0x0000000000000000 Adress 0x0000000000000000
    The following files will be included in the error report:
    C:\DOCUME~1\NATALI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\5424_appcompat.txt
    So anyway, I did a search for solutions in the database & I feel like I've tried all of them...at least all I could find. One said to go to a local settings folder & delete the temp folder, then reinstall. Did that...same thing. So then I saw something where you had to type a dll command in the run line, but that didn't work either. I also installed a microsoft visual basic file that was suggested might help, but it didn't. Actually, downloading that file helped me to get past the install probs, but now I can't pull the program up without an error. Please help! I really would like to put some music on my ipod. Incidentally, I recently reformatted my hd, and that's when the trouble began. I know, you're going to say just reformat, but right now is a very inconvenient time. I need a workable solution. I would greatly appreciate anyone's help. Thanks in advance.
    p.s. already tried reinstalling, even hunting down residual files & registry entries with an uninstaller program to get a clean install...didn't work though.

  • Please help with "You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I have seen other responses on this but am not a techie and would not know how to start with that solution.

    Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
    Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
    Many thanks
    AppleSueIn HunterCreek

    I am afraid there is no solution.
    PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
    You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline.
