Please help, IPOD can not restore

My IPOD is 4 days old, worked fine unti I downloaded the updater, first it kept saying do not disconnect, now when I plug it in it says ok to disconnect, I tunes does not recognise it but my computer does.
I have tried uninstalling IPOD and updater, then reinstalling but nothing happens, all it does is Say OK TO DISCONNECT! is my IPOD broken now or does anyone know how to fix it? I have tried all the help topics recommended (5 r's)all I get is the icon that means incorrect software but I do not know how to get this off????
I would really appriciate some help..

  • Please help. ipod will not show up and i have tried everything

    i got my ipod two days ago. ipod nano 4gb.
    when i plug it into my computer it comes up with 'do not disconnect' and occasionally a small circle icon in the top left-hand corner. the computer recognises that there is a 'mass storage device' connected, but the ipod doesnt appear in itunes or my computer.
    when i unplug the ipod it displays the apple symbol and then goes to the language selection menu. after i disconnect it i also get a message saying that the file could not be saved to the drive because it was interrupeted or something like that and i should try storing it somewhere else.
    so thinking that maybe this was it being updated, i let it plugged in all day while i was at school because surely that would be plenty of time for anything to load onto it. But when i got home today it did the same thing.
    I have two computers and the same thing happens on both.
    I have tried it using my sisters usb cable, still nothing works.
    Any ideas? Oh on one of my computers it doesnt let me uninstall itunes as well.
    And when I try to open the updater to restore the ipod it freezes the application and i have to do controlaltdelete and close it.
    I am SO angry about it right now.
    Since i only bought it a few days ago do you think i could get a repleacement from the store where i got it or will i have to go all the way through apple.
    I havnt been able to use it once and it is making me very frustrated, please help me if you have any ideas.

    Sally,
    OK since you using 2 computers, we will first focus on the one that will not uninstall iTunes, afterwareds we will get the ipod working on one PC first.
    On the PC that will not uninstall iTUnes, goto control panel>add and remove and try if you can to uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    Once done disable any antivirus or security programs, then goto apple.com to download and install the latest iTUnes.
    Also on BOTH pcs make sure you have "ipod updater 06-28-2006" you can download and install it here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    Once iTunes is properly installed on this PC, you need to only connect your nano to the main PC you use for now so we can get it working, then we'll focus on the other PC if needed

  • Corrupt iPod can not restore

    For some reason my 5th Gen iPod has become corrupt.
    When connected to iTunes I get a message to restore it which I have done several times.
    Is there a file on my Mac that is also corrupt causing the iPod to be restored which continues to corrupt it?
    Once I connected it to another Mac and gave it a different name it has behaved so far. If I change the name to what it had been the silliness starts all over again.
    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue?
    Thanks,

  • Please Help! Can't restore VF0380 operation after many recovery attempts

    My model VF0380 webcam has been operating effectively for over 5 years. Until two months ago it had been operating on my current computer (HP Pavilion running Windows 8.1). The webcam still functions on another PC (running Vista). When plugged into any USB port on my computer, Driver Manager identifies VF0380 under 'Other devices' with a yellow exclamation point (code 1) - actually there are two identical VF0380 device items. Any attempt to update the driver fails - it reports that a driver can be found but 'errors when attempting to install it'. I've made many attempts to reinstall the current version of the software (LCOR_0380_PCDRV_LA_1_03_03) - using the exact downloaded file that installed and operated this webcam previously (and I used a new copy). After initial failures, I uninstalled (and deleted) everything in the file system about Creative software or the webcam. During installation, after extracting the files, setup reports 'An error occurred while setting up the driver' (setup exits after clicking 'ok'). I've compared the driver files under system32 on my PC with the same files on the (Vista) computer where the cam still operates - driver files in system32 have the same names (some have different sizes and dates). There are no system restores back to the period when the cam was operating. There is nothing unusual about my computer - there are no viruses. I can only imagine that a file is missing, the registry is corrupted, or there is a dll conflict - but I stumped. Please help!

    After more hours of investigation, I discovered how to restore my webcam operation. The DeviceInstall service had Stopped (I don't know why) - it was Stopped even after reboot. After setting the service to Running, a device was installed. I reset the Sevice's default state by using RestoreDeviceInstallServiceWindows8.bat that I found online. I found the dead installer because I was (subsequent to my webcam hassles) failing to install another device (an iPhone service) - so I looked at Services via the Task Manager for anything suspicious. Learning how to install iTunes through the back door (see link) led to a lot of other learning I hadn't planned to do. But, it helped me to discover how to restore my webcam (which I did through WinSxS - I was never able to get the LCOR 1.3.3 install to work since the original install.

  • Please Help ipod software not on ipod nano

    I have accidently deleted the software off my boyfriends ipod nano and now there is nothing on it at all. Stupid thing to do i know formatted it cause he wanted the songs taken off but did it the wrong way and got rid of everything.
    Do any of you know how to get the software back on the ipod? Have tried transferring it off another ipod but it still doesnt work.
    Please Help
    Thankyou

    Download the latest version of the iPod updater program from Apple, install it, and then run it. While it's running, have the iPod connected and pick the option to Restore the iPod. that will put a fresh copy of the ipod software back on it.

  • Please help, I can not open the word document after I have exported from a PDF

    Please help, I have bought this programme to convert PDF documents to word documents. All I find at the moment is that the document is not being converted and will not open once I have saved. It asks which programme I would like to select to open the saved file, and them does not work.
    Please let me know where I am going wrong?
    Ko

    Good day Ko,
    It sounds like the file extension may have been dropped when you saved the file to your computer.
    Does your converted file have the .docx or .xlsx extension on the end?  If it doesn't, try renaming the file and appending the  file extension.  You should be able to open your saved document in Word or Excel then.
    Kind regards,
    David

  • Please help - I can not create large arrays of images (no more than 108 elements)

    Hello,
    I am working in an application where i acquire 300 high resolution images (3Mp) and then i process each of those frames.
    When i try to put alll those frames in one array of images, the system does not let me more than 108 elements. There is no such message like out of memory or memory error. It is just that when i visualize the array of images, there are good frames the first 108 elements, and then white frames the rest of the elements.
    Ideallically i would prefer to process frames as i am acquiring them, but i am concerned about the remaining processing time for the rest of the tasks.
    Then, as an alternative, I have tried to store frames in two shorter arrays, and i ended up observing that when the first array (say 50 elements) is full and the second array starts (another 50 elements for example), labview needs a certain time in the the middle (like three seconds between closing first array and starting acquiring on the second array). If i dont wait that time between arrays, both arrays contain the same information. I know, this is weird, and i know about the fact of passing information by reference on imaq images. 
    The most interesting thing is that when i reduce considerably the resolution of the image (say that now, instead 3Mp they are 2Mp), the maximum number of elements on the arrays are exactly the same: 108, so this makes me wonder if it is a memory constrain. And the code is fairly simple, there is no way that i am cutting the acquisition at the number 108.
    So my question is, How can i put 300 frames in one just one array? or How can eliminate the time i have to wait between arrays?
    I have heard about memory allocation and so, but i am not sure how to proceed. I have windows 7.
    Thanks in advance,
    Roberto

    It's hard to visualize.  Please post the code - or at least a shell representing your code - so we can see what is happening.  Are you sure you are getting 108 contiguous pictures, or are some aquisitions being skipped?  Is the first picture in the array the first aqcuisition?  Is the last picture the last acquisition?
    I really don't think it is about memory allocation.  I think it could be about your method of acquiring and processing said acquisitions.

  • Please help! Can not retrieve Quicktime Pro registration code!!!

    I purchase Quictime Pro online many months ago and recently re-formatted my PowerBook. I am having trouble registering again. I have explored the Apple sites and tried to log in to my account to retrieve the number but the card I used to buy it was a Laser card (I'm in Ireland) but my account is presently set up to a Visa card. I tried setting it up again with the Laser card but it wouldn't accept it.
    Is there some way of finding the number? I can answer any security questions regarding my account to verify I bought it. I even have the order number from when I ordered it!
    Can anybody help?
    Any information would be sooo appreciated. I'd hate to pay for it again.
    Please respond to:

    Did you try logging into the Apple Store where you bought Pro? You should see a link to review your account. Clicking that should bring up a screen to enter your Apple ID and Password. After entering those items you should see a link to Software Downloads that will show your registration name and key. You will need to use those items exactly as listed, so it is best to copy and paste them into the registraition page of QT preferences in the Player Edit menu.
