Receiving a "Restore" prompt upon connecting.

I currently have an iPod 30gig video. Recently I have ran into an issue when connecting my iPod to my computer. It prompts me to restore my iPod so that iTunes and the iPod can sync (at least I would assume that is what this is for). When I left on a trip a week ago I loaded up my iPod with fresh tunes and went on my way. When I returned home and attempted to connect my iPod to recharge / add more music, I was greeted with the prompt to restore.
On my trip my iPod was used once on an airplane flight, other than that it sat undisturbed in my bag. My computer also remained running (disconnected from the internet) but idle until my return. There is seemingly no explanation for why there is a "Restore" prompt greeting me every time I connect my iPod.
1) Will Restoring my iPod erase the music / pictures I currently have on my iPod?
2) Why did this happen?
3) How can I prevent this from happening again?
Any help getting these questions answered would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
30gig, iPod Video. Windows XP Pro 6 months old.

If your iPod is set to auto sync, then this link will provide you a way to still connect your iPod without having it erase everything. This will allow you to put it in manual mode so you can manually put your files where ever you want. I got this link from this forum, so it should work just fine. Be sure you follow the key combinations for the type of OS that you have either windows or mac.
You will have to be on your other machine now with iTunes installed. Also be sure to Authorize the new machine through iTunes.
By the way, if your iPod is NOT set up for auto sync, then you are already set to manually move your files and you don't even have to worry about the link provided.
I hope this works for ya man.

Restore prompt when connecting ipod to computer

I'm getting a prompt to restore my ipod after I connect it to my computer. I recently purchased the ipod and downloaded the latest version of itunes (less than 2 weeks), everything worked fine and I was able to download most of my library to itunes and sync it with my ipod. I went to reconnect my ipod after uploading some songs to itunes and rec'd the message. Can anyone tell me why this message would suddenly appear? How do I resolve the issue without actually restoring my ipod? Has anyone had a similar situation that they were able to resolve? Any help is appreciated.

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting

HT1420 I use two MacBook pro, two iPads and two iPhones. Upon connection and attempt to synchronize photos I receive a message that my authorization limit is exceeded. I read that iOS devices do not count against the authorization limit.

I use two MacBook pro, two iPads and two iPhones. Upon connection and attempt to synchronize photos I receive a message that my authorization limit is exceeded. I read that iOS devices do not count against the authorization limit. One iPhone and one iPad show in the authorization list. iTunes wants to delete my purchased programs and books from the iPad to continue synchronization. What can I do?

Ok, now I do wish I could edit....
I forgot to APPLY the network settings for the USB cable to work. Connected thru USB I can tether.
So, I kept playing, and playing some more...
I had previously unpaired everything, and gone as far as removing network devices HOWEVER...
I didn't remove the Ethernet, Firewire or Airport Network devices.
Now, I have done so. I REMOVED EVERYTHING
No pairing, no network devices.
Bluetooth was already turned off, and I rebooted.
I turned off tethering and rebooted the iphone.
I turned on bluetooth (on the MBP), I turned on tethering. I browsed for the iphone. It said I was already paired???? Ok, repair AGAIN, and THE IPHONE SHOWED MY BLUETOOTH TETHERING BLUE BAR at the top of the screen!
I opened a web page, no go... d4mn, I was close...
Opened network preferences and the created a new bluetooth PAN and voila! Internet back on the MBP. I am about to reinstall the ethernet and airport (I can live without firewire for now) and see what happens.
Basically, the link I posted two posts ago, I had already done that, but I NEEDED to remove ethernet, firewire and airport as well...
So MAYBE it's fixed, we'll see for how long. I'm not going to mark this as answered for now, because basically, it has failed for no reason, and I want to know why...
Hopefully someone can come up with something, but having to delete and reinstall all pairings and network devices (to me) is not really a solution, it's a workaround (at best).

Smartview webf run time prompts upon submit are not picking up from the POV

Hi ,
I am in Planning 11.1.2.1 and using Smartview 11.1.2.1.103. After connecting to Planning Webform from Smartview, i am saving a composite form which should launch a Business Rule with run time prompts attached to the webform upon submit. The business rules are running with default run time prompts and it is not picking up the members from the POV ... is there a way to make it pick up the members from POV into the run time prompts upon saving it ? so far the workaround is to initiate the business rule from the planning tab in smartview .. any thoughts on this ? cheers

I found a known issue for smart view in 11.1.2.1 read me doc
11075506
When you open a data form in Smart View, if a business rule is directly attached to a composite data form that is set to Use Members on Data Form and Hide Prompt, the runtime prompt values are not picked up. Instead, the Runtime Prompt dialog box is displayed, and the user is prompted to enter a value.
Good Luck

Multiple logon prompts when connecting to either server console session or RDS farm

All,
Since last Sunday when installing updates users are being asked to login multiple times.
This affects both admins connecting to the console session of members servers and users connecting to RDSH boxes
If i run 'mstsc /v:servername /admin' i'm prompted to enter my credentials. Normally this will log me right in and i'll land on the desktop. Now, i'm getting the main login screen on the server and having to enter credentials again.
All servers are 2008 R2 SP1.
Clients are a mixture of XP SP3 and Win7 SP1.
All servers are in the same member server OU and recieve the same GPO.
The problem only affects approx 50% of servers despite all boxes recieving the same policies and having the same updates installed.
Like i said, this started to occur after we installed updates on all boxes last Sunday. The updates installed were KB2533552 & KB2534366. I've uninstalled KB2534366 but KB2533552 doesnt support removal.
There are no errors in any event logs on any machines.
Is anybody else having issues with recent updates or ideas how to fix as i'm really at a loss now.

Hi,
Did you enable “Always prompt for password ” in the RD session host or GPO?
If you do, please uncheck this option by the following steps:
1.
Start>programs>Administrative Tools>Terminal Services> Terminal services Configuration) >right click on the RDP-TCP go to Properties>Log
on settings tab> Uncheck always prompt for password.
2.
Computer/Administrator Templates/Windows Components/Remote Desktop services/Remotedesktop session Host/security/allways prompt for password upon
connection
Thanks

Upon connecting iPod I get BSOD

I have a new 5th gen iPod and connecting it to my husband's computer works fine. Upon connecting it to my system (both iPod and iTunes are at current versions of software), I do not get the popup window for a new USB device (as I get on my husband's system) and shortly thereafter I get the BSOD on my computer. It is a laptop, and I've tried deinstalling the USB devices and letting Windows reinstall them. I've tried a few other things in the help forums, but nothing has worked, including deinstalling and reinstalling iTunes, resetting the iPod itself. Obviously this is a problem on my laptop, but I don't have any new ideas where to look.

hi stophammertime,
Welcome to the Forums.
It looks like you have some bad sectors on the HDD that's why the OKR didn't work or for some reason, OKR worked but the bad sectors corrupted the OS installation files. To verify this, you will need to run diagnostics on the HDD (try ultimatebootcd as it has diagnostic tools for ever brand of HDD's)
Also, the OneKey Recovery runs on a hidden partition on the HDD (usually the last few sectors of the drive). It's possible to trigger the OneKey Recovery if the partition structure isn't damage but if the target drive has bad sectors (i.e. Drive C:\), it may fail to image the drive or corrupt the installation files.
If verified that you have bad sectors on the HDD, you will need to replace the HDD and from here, you can:
1. Use a recovery disc to restore the default OS (this is only psosible if you have created one using this method)
2. If you can still read the COA product key at the bottom, you can burn an ISO copy on this website and use it to clean install Windows into your PC (if you get issues activating Windows, try to activate by phone).
3. Scratch Windows and use Ubuntu as you're primary OS.
Hope thish elps

Iphone cannot make or receive calls. restore from itunes

Hey, my iphone 4s said "iphone cannot make or receive calls. restore from itunes" but when i try to restore it, there is a -1 error. please help

Connect the phone to your computer and open iTunes. It should prompt you to restore. If it doesn't see this:

When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I already am connected and the software will not install.

When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I am already connected. This also occurs when trying to install an Adobe update.

A cable modem always needs a complete reset whenever you change the device that it is connected to.
To get your Internet signal restored, it will require at least one major step including the reset of your modem and complete network power cycle.
If that is not successful, the second major step is to reset the AirPort Extrreme back to factory defaults and then combine the steps above again.
Try this first:
Push the reset button on the cable modem (if present) and pull the internal batter (if easily accessible) then power off the modem
Power off everything else on your network....all devices....order is not important
Wait at least 20 minutes...longer will not hurt
Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots or world icon) on the AirPort Extreme
Re-install the modem battery if it was pulled in the step above
Power up the modem and let it run for 4-5 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 4-5 minutes
Power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
Check the network for proper operation

Upon connection, iPhoto starts, not iTunes

I cant even activate the iPhone to get started, and i have the most current version of iTunes.
Why would iPhoto start upon connection?

do you know how to turn off image capture on XP? Three programs, Windows fax viewer, cannon camera window, and Adobe album starter all fight to download the pics off my iphone....untill today when my computer stopped recognizing my iphone all together. I read the troubleshooting section of the users manual and have reset the phone, restarted my computer, reinstalled itunes. I don't have the energy to restore all settings, the phone works good, but there won't be any sync-ing going on until I get this fixed. Problems have been happening ever since I purchased the PRO edition of Quicktime to convert my slideshows for the iphone. That still doesn't work, they come out pixelated and have no sound. One full day of dinking with that and my 400GB external started having delayed write failures and then I fixed it once by running the chkdsk utility, so it ran all night recovered almost everything--then after 20 minutes it completely crashed. My son recovered the data for me on his computer. Now the iphone won't sync. Any ideas?? you seem like a knowlegable sourse of info? Thx if you have the time!

Hi,
There can be many reasons why the Login is "up the creek".
Any break in the network at your end whilst logged in will cause an issue.
A sort of discrepancy between what iChat thinks the state should be and what the server thinks.
If they don't agree the server will refuse to accept.
A Crash at the server end which does not log you out properly will also do it.
Any file at any time can be come corrupted.
Luckily with the iChat .plists they are recreated if removed with an iChat Restart.
If it were AIM you can also get your Account Suspended and this will not log you in.
(It tends to happen from Chat rooms where people notify AIM about bad behaviour (as they see it) and you have to apply to get Un-suspended).
Most of the big IM services use multiple servers.
Sometimes these go out of Sync.
In the case of AIM this happens when they remove Old unused Screen Names from people's Buddy List prior to making them available for re-registration. I am not sure if this happens at Google.
You seem to be talking about an account that has worked at Work and having new computer at home.
As I mentioned the Priority thing you have not said that it has coincided with the new computer logging in (this will kick the work Computer out of Google whether you are logged in on the Web Mail page or in iChat)
IN addition to that iChat stays partially logged in for Off Line IMs
This is done in the background by a support app called iChatAgent
If your Computer is ON but ichat is not started people can still send you Messages.
Instead of saving these on the server until you login iChat will start up.
Depending if the home Mac is effecting the Work Login it may be holding sway over your Login.
Using your girlfriend's login may have booted her Off Line where she normally uses the name/login.
The AIM Side can be specifically set to allow Multiple Logins and therefore NOT allow them. If this happens you get a warning and messages to do something about it.
You do not get these in any Jabber or Google Login as the Priority setting is supposed to take care of it.
If the Login works at the Web Mail Login and on one computer then the .plist on the work computer is the most likely issue.
There is a small chance that a Corrupt Buddy Pic (Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat/Pictures) may be the cause.
Set this folder to icon view and also use the Finder's View Menu > Show View Options and select icon view.
This should show all pics as their icon.
Check that all display properly.
At this point I would try a COMBO version update install of the last Update you did over what you have.
This often corrects hard to trace things

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

No event in Udev upon connecting a DVI-HDMI display

Hi all!
Im pretty new to Archlinux and sarted "linuxing" generally not so long ago.
Arch is my latest stop and love-for-first-sight, learned a lot from its wiki and forum.
I tried to cook (honestly more like copy) a script today to let KDE (xrandr) automatically configure my TV, which is connected with a DVI-HDMI cabel through a HDMI switch.
As per instructions i tried to check out its proper name with
udevadm monitor
but there r absolutely no events in it.
Im guessing thats why my script isnt invoked upon connecting/disconnecting.
Also, even if i connect/disconnect TV, KDE generally does not get it untill i let Display Settings run or
xrandr
from terminal.
That means if i disconnect, then reconnect, my settings r still the same. If i run any of them in the while, or boot up Linux so that my TV is turned off, i loose my settings.
Is that normal?
What can i do that i can get udev events?
Thanks a lot for your help guys in advance!
EDIT:
Two more things
Disconnecting my primary monitor shos nothing as well at udevadm monitor.
Interestingly DVI-0 is my TV with DVI-HDMI connection
HDMI-0 is my primary monitor with DVI-DVI connection.
Kinda weird.....
