Powerbook Won't Recognise My nano

I set my nano up with my Windows XP machine.
The XP machine died so I'm trying to get it set up on my Powerbook now.
I can see the iPod in System Profiler but it won't mount in the Finder. Won't mount in iTunes and won't mount in the iPod updater.
Any suggestions?

I'm experiencing similar problems to what you initially described, but your fixes didn't work for me. It's not that it doesn't see it at all, but it won't mount. It gets the message not to disconnect, and Disk Utility sees it. However, Disk Utility cannot repair it but can eject it. When it tries to repair it, I get the following error messages:
Verify and Repair disk "disk1s3"
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file
Invalid sibling link
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error.
Since it does not mount, even after putting it into disk mode,
I cannot use the iPod updater to restore it. So There's a hole in
the bucket, dear Liza, so to speak.
Should I use Disk Utility to erase it completely and then use the
iPod updater? I don't mind losing all the songs since they are in
iTunes on my Mac, but I'm just worried about doing something
irreversible.
Any sage advice?

Powerbook won't run off of battery - requires PMU reset to power up with AC

Like everyone else posting here, my powerbook won't run from the battery. I have two batteries, one that came with the computer 3 - 4 years ago and a newer one that I purchased about 1 year ago. When I am plugged into AC using iStat Nano the newer battery shows cycles 173, health 89%. The older battery show cycles 0 and health 100% (go figure!). Both batteries just say 'calculating' on the tool bar battery meter. The light around the AC adapter plug always shows green as if the batteries are fully charged.
Here is where my post differs from the others. Once I shut down the computer I can't power it up again with reseting the PMU. I've tried reseting NVRAM and deleting and re-establishing the powermanagement plist as suggested elsewhere on this forum to no avail.
Is the PMU something that can be replaced? How is it related to DC-IN? I've read elsewhere here that is another problem that could cause these symptoms. Has anyone had these two components repaired and did it fix the problem? How much did it cost?
Thanks in advance for any information you can give men.

I had the same experience. I have 10.4.10 on the cloned drive but the battery is still not charging. I decided to take a closer look at the battery updater instructions and discovered that even though I am at 10.4.11 on my Powerbook the BatteryUpdater.bundle was at revision 1.1.3 and hadn't been updated since Jan 6, 2006. So I downloaded the BatteryUpdate that is posted at the top of this forum and installed it. It has made no difference in the operation of the computer. The AC adapter still isn't charging the battery although the green ring light is on which usually indicates the battery is charged. furthermore, when I go back and look at the date and version number on the BatteryUpdater.bundle they haven't changed. Who knows what the update actually changed! There is no mention of it running in the software update log. My system profiler says:
The battery is installed
Full charge Capacity 3890
Remaining Capacity 0
Cycle Count 173
AC adapter cannot charge battery: YES
By the way, my battery is a replacement battery.
I have just about exhausted all my option other than taking it into an Apple repair store and I'm not sure at this point I want to give Apple any more of my money. I am going to live with it the way it is for a while in the hopes that someone will post a fix for the problem. Good luck with your investigation. If you find out anything else please post it here as I will check back on a regular basis. If I find out anything else I will do the same. Nice working with you.

Powerbook won't play VCD

Hey all,
I know VCD's are old skool but my hometown's production companies can't afford.....(well they can but would rather cut costs) to encode movies in DVD format and use VCD instead. Anyway my family brought lots of movies in this format but my powerbook doesn't recognise....well it does recognise that a CD has been inserted BUT it wont play it whereas my windoze counterparts play these VCDs easy. Does anyone know whats wrong and how to solve this or is it just a DRM issue i have to live with. Any replies appreciated.

Hi El,
VCD's won't work with DVD player. You'll need to watch them in Quick Time. After inserting the disk launch QT. Select File>Open Movie in New Player. From there browse to the VCD open the folder marked MPEGAV. Find the file with the extension .dat. After clicking it should launch your movie in QT.

Car won't recognise ipod

Have had my 30gb ipod in my Audi S3 for nearly 2 years now with no problem. But since i connected it to my pc to add some new music and it autoupdated the software, the car won't recognise it when i connect it. The car recognises my daugher's nano OK but its only got miley cyrus & the jonas brothers on it so i'd rather drive with a knitting needle up by a* than listen to that!
Can any of you boffins help me out please??
Thanks in advance, Dave

The Shuffle doesn't offer audio output through USB. It only has the four conductors needed for either USB (charge and sync) *or* headphone audio+controls, and can't do both functions at the same time. You would need a Nano, Classic or Touch (with a lightning port or dock connector) to get that feature.
Or, if your stereo also offers an AUX audio input, you could connect your Shuffle using an audio cable with e "headphone" plug at both ends. Note that this will not charge the iPod at all,

I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working. Please help.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

BLACKBERRY TORCH - won't turn on and desktop manager won't recognise it - I can't get my contacts

Hi all,
I'm new to this so please bare with me.
I'll try and be as brief as possible. Up until last week I had the Blackberry Torch 9800. I was due an upgrade and about two days before I went to contact my network provider my Torch battery died (it wasn't broken at this point, it just was drained and needed charged) so I went to charge it and it did that thing where the battery was so dead it wouldn't even switch on whilst charging.
I plugged it in and rather than charge like normal it was completely dead and the only activity it offered me was two red flashing lights as it 'charged'. From that moment on it has not turned on. Dead as can be. If I plug to charge (wall charger OR USB port) I get the two bright red flashing notification lights but it will not go on.
Anyway rather than send it to be repaired I opted for a new phone as I was due an upgrade anyway and intended on doing so whether the Torch was alive and kicking at this point or not. Cut a long story short I got my new blackberry (9360 curve) it is all set up with my e-mail etc, media card and same sim card swapped over but as Blackberry insist on your contact numbers being saved to the handset and not the sim my contacts are stuck in my Torch 9800.
When I go to plug the Torch in to Desktop manager to get the contacts saved to there and then sync over to my new handset the Torch is so dead that DManager won't even read/recognise it. My network say since this is not an issue with network etc they can't really help and gave me a number for Blackberry services in England somewhere (they are office hrs so can't phone until Monday morning).
Please can someone help? I have my new 9360 all up and running but my contacts are stuck in my Torch and that is the only place they are? DManager won't recognise the Torch because it is dead - except the two flashing lights - and therefore won't let me at the contacts that way.
ANY help would be appreciated - please not too techinal as not great with all of that side of things!
Sorry for the long post.

ITunes won't recognise my iPod on USB 2.0, only 1.1

my computer won't recognise my iPod touch 1.1.4 when it is connected via my USB 2.0 PCI card, only when it is plugged in via the motherboards inbuilt USB 1.1 ports. I have plugged it into other computers (all pc's) and it works fine on their USB 2.0 ports.
What could be causing this?
cheers.

Try this if you have not already. This removes and reinstalls ALL Apple software and sometimes that is required.

HELP NEEDED! My wife's 5c won't recognise on my laptop anymore. I plug it in and the laptop makes a sound but won't show up the phone. I only recently discovered this problem when I upgraded. It will recognise my 5c and even the iPad but not her 5c

I discovered this problem when I upgraded my iPhone 4 to a 5c.
My laptop will recognise my 5c and even the wife's iPad but won't recognuse her 5c, when I plug it in it makes a sound but just doesn't show up in iTunes.
It DID work on my laptop as recently as November when I backed up her phone and updated her software but like I say ever since I upgraded it just won't recognise her 5c but does mine.
I just can't think what is wrong? I haven't messed around with anything on the laptop or messed around with the wife's settings on her 5c
HELP!!!!

I would test with another computer and another cable
if it the device would not be detected by any computer I
would say that it's connector was broken

My iPad won't recognise my air printer, it is connected as I checked by typing in IP address into Safari, but when I try to print it just says cannot find any air printers.

my Ipad won't recognise my printer. It is connected as I have typed the IP address into Safari which confirms connectivity. Spoken with canon who suggest it it is a problem with IOS not recognising the functionality. When I try to print it says cannot find any air printers. Printer is working via LAN set up on my laptop. Don't want to have to spend £25 to speak to an apple support team. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Printer is a canon MG 3250.

A few things you could try:
Reboot your modem/router.
Turn your printer off then on again & make sure it's connected to the network.
Reboot your iPad holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears then release & let the iPad boot up normally.
Try going into Settings on your iPad & select General->Reset->Reset Network Settings.
Also, have a look at this:

Yes that is correct
Okay. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Since updating to Lion the iMac won't recognise the external hard drive (maxtor) when waking from sleep mode,

Hi All, Since updating to Lion, my imac won't recognise the ext HDD (Maxtor) when waking from sleep mode, I have tried another port, diisc utility (Ext HDD not listed in here) but nothing works. I now find that I have to restart the imac to get the drive recognised..which is fine until the imac goes into sleep mode then I lose the drive and have to restart etc etc.....anyone suffering same issue. The Ext Drive worked perfectly until the upgrade..

Thanks for this, and apologies for delay in replying...in between seeing your post I backed up the ext hdd to another mac and used the disc utility to erase and repair and then re mounted the ext hdd. OK. I have then tested the ext hdd being recognised when waking from sleep mode a few times and everything appears to be fine. If this doesn't work (long term) I will follow the instructions as you have suggested....
I now have a new problem with my HP printer (Photosmart Plus) which is not being recognised by a new wireless router..Ok whilst the router is switch on and I have reconfigured the printer..but when the router is switched off overnight and then switched back on...I get a 'printer is not connected' message and have to go through the re configure routine all over. I am minded to think this is a router problem as the same issue is happening to my wifes Mac Book Pro (which is only a few weeks old)...any suggestions..

Old Itunes library (from PC) on external hard drive - Mac won't recognise

I feel like I've tried absolutely everything, so hopefully someone here can help.
I had my Itunes library stored on an external disc. This was when I was using Itunes on a PC. It all ran fine....
Now we've upgraded to a Mac and for the life of me I cannot get Itunes to recognise the library.
First I just tried changing the folder location with no luck. Now I've tried holding down alt when starting Itunes, I've located the folder, and at first it seemed all was well as the albums (sans artwork) all appeared in Itunes. But when I try to play them or send songs to my Iphone, it says it can't locate the file. I've tried to then manually point it to the external drive and the old library and it still won't recognise it.
Can anyone suggest anything??

I have upgraded iTunes to 10.5.3, but it still won't recognise my iPhone.

What the title says.
I've upgraded iTunes on the laptop to the latest, as recommended by others, but it still won't recognise my iPhone.
It didn't recognise with the older version I had before upgrading.(Can't really remember what version it was...)
