Please help...Very frustrating issue with ipods (shuffle and nano)

I'm not the most computer literate person around, so maybe someone here can help.
I have an IPod Shuffle, my daughter has an Ipod Nano. We seem to be sharing an itunes account, although there's separate links to my Ipod and hers.
The problem is, I can't seem to find my songs. The board comes up blank. When I downloaded one of the songs again, it said it was still there, but I never did find it, or any of the others.
My daughter's songs are all there, and her list is growing bigger with her songs, which is fine.
She says she's not deleting my songs, and I believe her.
I tried to re-install the IPod Shuffle CD/program, but my computer's not having any of that.
Any ideas/tips/suggestions on how I can get my songs back, or at least create a separate account on the same computer?
Thank you.

Saga continues.
ARRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!

  • Activation problems with Cingular. Please help very frustrated

    Ok, here is the deal, I live in Orlando, FL most of the time, but I am in Michigan and I bougt 2 iphones today, that was 1000 bucks, plus 200 in security deposits. I went to cingular, payed the deposit, and now that im at home, i cant register the product. I have been on the phone with cingular suppost getting different reasons why i cant answer but i still want to check it out here. Im getting an address verification problem. The guy is saying that when we payed the sucurity deposit, we put our florida market address on file with the Pre Approved Credit Check Number. THere saying our sim cards are michigan sim cards, and its not letting me register because of the sim cards are not in the same market as the credit check number. I tunes keeps giving me an error of address though. Is anyone receiving this same problem? The error is saying that they cannot verify the address on file, as the address that im typing in, even though it is the same address. We tried changing everything to michigan, and still got the same problem. We changed the address on the credit check number, and the address that im trying to register in michigan.
    Please Help
    Rodd,
    Thanks guys
    You can only imagine that im upset not being able to even power the thing up. It wont let you go past the emergency call feature since its not activated.

    Heres what you have to do Rodd...I used to be a RSM for Cingular.
    First you need to cancel your first activation because your sim cards have been set up with activation in Michigan you will get a Michigan area code, prefix, etc. If you did not set it up with the exact are that you paid the deposit in, then you will not be able to activate it.
    Ex: if I live in Texas, but want a California number, I have to go to Cali and set up my account, and then come back to Texas and I will have my Cali number while living in Texas.
    If you tried to set it up wrong to many times it flags your account.
    Either go back to the store you got them in and pay the security deposit again, or go to the closest ATT store in the area you would like to have your area code, prefix, etc. in.
    Example: if you want a Michigan number, then go to Michigan..and set up your account all in the same place that you want your number....Billing addresses can be different but the activation address will be where the iPhone number is given from.
    Hope this helps..God bless

  • After interrupting iPhotos import to mac from iPhone, it is not allowing me to shut down computer as it says 'Importing photos from library' i also cannot import photos from phone! Please help, VERY frustrating. Thanks.

    After recently purchasing a mac i decided to upload my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto. I accidentally disconnected the charger and now whenever i click 'import photos' it tells me that iPhoto is 'importing photos to library' which i can tell you it is not. because the phone is not connected and it has been doing it for days now.i tried to force quit and it hasn't work. It won't let me shut the computer down now either as it thinks it is currently importing something so i have to wait for the computers battery to die which is ridiculous. Becoming increasingly frustrated with this problem and not sure where else to turn. Please help. Thanks, Neil.

    If the  ➙ Force Quit method won't let you shutdown iPhoto try this command in the Terminal:
    killall iPhoto
    followed by the Return or Enter key
    It might take more than one go for it to take.
    Failing that close all other applications and hold the power button down until the computer shuts down.  Reboot and try iPhoto again.

  • Please Help - Very strange problem with internal String encoding

    I created a file in one-byte russian encoding cp1251 and declared String literal with 2 letters:
    String str = "ab"; //attention! ab - two russian characters
    After I got bytes from it - str.getBytes("cp1251") - it returned 2 byte's array.
    Now I created a file with UTF-8 encoding with equal content and suddenly:
    After I got bytes from it - str.getBytes("cp1251") - it returned 4! byte's array. Why?
    I need to get a one-byte encoded arrays (cp1251 or koi8-r) but getBytes ALWAYS returns two-byte encoded arrays.
    It is very strange: cp1251 is always one-byte encoded, but .getBytes("cp1251") returns two-byte on each letter. Why? Please help.

    I did not read a string from a file. I created 2 .java files with different encodings (cp1251 and UTF-8) and compiled them, telling compiler with -Dfile.encoding=*** to read them correctly. While execution java interprets two looking equal in editor strings as different objects with different .intern() representation.
    Why java consider source .java file encoding while creating internal representation of String object and creates from looking equally in editor strings two DIFFERENT Unicode representations. And it is impossible to convert one representation to other - impossible to get two equal byte[] arrays.

  • Connection issue with iPod Shuffle 4th Gen.

    Hello, I have problem with my iPod Shuffle 4th gen. One day i tried as always to turn it on and listen music but i heard only short "info" sound and saw short green diode impulse and nothing else. My computer (windows 7) also can't find it, after plugging it on, ipod's red diode turns on for 5 sec. Any suggestions?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Please Help, Very Frustrated - iPhoto 11  & Canon Raw(.cr2) files

    I recently started shooting raw(.cr2) with Canon 6D (on the list), while on vacation of course.... while there I loaded all my images to my Ipad to save room, due to only having my 16gb memory card with me, yesterday I decided to take them off the ipad and store them in iPhoto where all my work is stored and back it up to my external harddrive,  I have tried for 4 hoursto figure out why it won't upload to iPhoto 11, nothing works, it acts as if its uploading and then after 30 mins it says unrecognizable format(see screen capture below).
    I have read several other different forums and similar questions all the way back to 2005 and nothing seems to help, I tried making a smart album, updating the software, but iPhoto will not recognize the pics.  I did find one forum that said use Image Capture and do it that way, It worked to move them off the ipad but only to my extrenal hard drive with no image preview, saying it cannot open the file, all I eally want to do is have them load like all my other images into iPhoto which I use almost everyday and not have to go back to shooting jpeg along...PLEASE HELP any suggestions??

    Thanks everyone...I tried and even downloaded the specific software released from Canon specific for Mac for my camera a Canon 6D... Nothing worked... IPhoto never would recognize the images.... 
    BUT .....  in case someone else has this problem... I had to jump through hoops to figure it out... but finally with the help of several forums on here... I figured out a way to save my images and have them in a jpeg format to save for my memory folder for my daughter....so I did figure out a way to make it work...
    If you transfer for images from camera(in raw format .cr2) to your ipad...... and cannot load them to iphoto like me....here is how to do it....
    1. I searched my Mac, it comes with a software installed called "Image Capture" find it and load your pictures on
              your ipad to a folder on your desktop for easy finding.
    2. Search Google and Download Program Called Rawker....
    3.  Open Rawker... go to File
                                  a.  Select Batch - Select source Location - Select your file you saved your images in
                                  b.  Select File Batch - Select Source Destination - either make a file on your desktop or
                                            select where you want your newly converted RAW/jpeg images to be placed
                                  c. Select File batch and Start Batch...
    4. After its done with the convert -  you can import that new .jpeg folder of images to your iphoto
    Bunch of crazy circles because I was told it was better to shoot in Raw .cr2 ... NOT ... It might be if you have the right program but I guess none of the ones I tried worked....
    Until I find a better way I will just go back to shooting in jpeg fine.
    Thanks again Everyone

  • WRT400N connection issues with iPod Touch and MacBook

    I'm a newbie, so please bear with me.
    I recently upgraded to the WRT400N from a Linksys BEFW11S4. 
    Since the change, the connection to iPod Touches and MacBooks at the house have been shaky at best.  The connection frequently drops out completely on the iPod Touch even if it's right next to the router.
    I've tried resetting the router, changing settings on the iTouch and MacBooks, but the problem persists. I don't want to mess with the router settings as I'm not experienced in that area.
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thank you.

    You can try the below mentioned settings.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
    Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
    This should fix the issue for you.

  • Issues with iPod Touch and latest update (4.3.3)?

    I recently updated my iPod Touch 3G to 4.3.3.  Before updating, I had absolutely no issues.  Since updating, the iPod will shut off at will, sometimes flickering, sometimes going straight to the "slide to shut down" screen.  Sometimes it will shut down in the middle of an app, I'll start it back up, and it will shut down again immediately.  Occasionally, when I start it up after crashing, it will make the camera shutter sound!  And there's no camera on this iPod!
    Possible extenuating circumstance: I upgraded from a Power PC iMac to an Intel iMac at the same time I updated the software on the iPod.  I have read the suggestions and the troubleshooting guide, and nothing has helped so far.  I wiped the iPod clean and reinstalled and all that did was wipe out my settings (of course).  Resyncing the iPod worked (apps and music loaded fine), but still it shuts down without warning.  I tried installing a new free app, but that didn't work.
    Usually I'm pretty good at figuring out these sorts of issues, but I'm at my wits end.  Is anyone else having these problems?  Am I screwed?

    Okay, so now I have read that you have to install a free app through the phone, not through the computer.  I've done so and it looks like everything is good for now.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  My question now, is that if this is a common occurance with the 4.3.3 update, why did Apple imply that I needed to wipe my iPod clean when this was the much easier and less invasive answer?

  • Very frustrating problem with mousepad, clicker, and cursor.

    Hi, guys. Anyone who could help me with this would have my sincere appreciation.
    Recently (in the last week), my three-year old MBP has been giving me ****. Sometimes the problem is around, sometimes it isn't, but tonight was the last straw. I can hardly use MS Word to type anything, which is very frustrating since I'm a writer.
    When I move the cursor over something, sometimes it will select whatever it's over even though I didn't click. For example, in Word, it will click some random space in the middle of the page and automatically put the typer there. Another example- when I use iTunes and I want to select a specific spot in a track I'm listening to, it won't "click out". So when I move the cursor, even though I've clicked out, the cursor will still drag the music backwards or forwards. Another thing that happens, is I will unintentionally open a document or program, even though I did not click, but the cursor was over it. One other thing- if I'm on the Finder and there's nothing on the desktop, sometimes the cursor will start making those gray selection squares and even though I keep clicking out, it keeps making new ones.
    Is this a virus? Is it a hardware problem? Any ideas?
    Thanks for the help. My MBP is up to 10.5.something.

    Couldn't find an edit button, so I'm double-posting, sorry. Anyway, recently, I've been restarting when the problem gets too unmanageable and every time I've restarted, it automatically ejects my disc somewhere between blacking out and the log-in screen.
