  • HT1481 hi when going to sync my ipod shuffle it says ipod can not be found any help to fix would be great

    hi i cany sync my ipod shuffle it keeps saying ipod can not be found and wont restore any help would  be great

    Any ideas of what might have changed since the last time it was able to successfully connect? Did you recently install any new software or USB peripherals/drivers that could be causing some sort of conflict?
    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting?
    Does the Shuffle still charge while you have it plugged in?

  • Moved Music to New Hard Drive - Required folder not found??? pls help

    Hello
    I have recently purchased a new external hard drive as my crappy Dell was full to the brim with music.
    I have moved all my music files over to the hard drive and re installed itunes.
    Now when i drag my music folder into the itunes library it updates but the shortly after an error message occurs that says:-
    'Itunes Libray music file cannot be saved. Required folder not found'
    Previously i have saved my itunes folder within my music folder?.
    Now everytime i close down itunes all my music has gone from it!??
    Any suggestions....sorry if being really ignorant..not too profficient on computers..
    Thanks in advance.

    I think itunes by default looks inside you my music folder. In the itunes preferences screen there is an option to select a new folder to your library. Change the path to the music folder on your external drive. Make sure to always have the drive turned on before launching itunes though.
    You may also be able to replace the my music folder with a shortcut to the music folder on the external drive. This behavior may not work in windows though so I'm not sure.

  • When I try to play a song it says "orginal file not found"

    When I open itunes and try to play a song I get an error message that says "original file not found."  What does this mean?

    Hello samdogman - I am having the "original file not found" problem and found your post in my search for solutions.
    I'm not sure how this happened. I erased a couple of songs the other day and think I erased those song files.
    If I was to go to each folder stored in my iTunes folder and add folder to library I will have duplicate songs..correct? Will consolidate library create duplicates as well?
    I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thx.
    You have to actually have the song file paths saved
    in your iTunes library memory. Don't drag them into
    iTunes--they'll play until you turn off your computer
    but they're not getting saved in your library this
    way. Instead of dragging a folder/file into iTunes,
    go to the top line in iTunes and select "file">"add
    File to library" OR "add Folder to library". Browse
    to the location of the files/folders you want to add
    and click "ok". Now iTunes will have the actual path
    to your music stored and will be able to find your
    songs.
    Or, to make things go quicker. You can go to the
    advanced tab and click on "Consolidate Library", then
    you can browse to your music file location and add
    all of your music files at once.

  • Trouble loading firefox. message says "entry point not found".

    My Firefox will not load. red X with message pops up, says " Entry Point Not Found. procedure entry point could not be located in the dynamic link library."
    my boyfriend clicked on some update and tried to go online (using firefox) while the update was running.

    Do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Cannot Play Disc Folder Not Found

    I created a project in DVD Studio Pro 3 and it seems to play in all computers and players with the exception my trusty iMac G3 400 mhz special edition. Everytime I insert the disc I get a message that says "Cannot play disc. Folder not Found." Most commercial DVDs and one disc that I created is DVD Studio Pro 4 play fine. Anyone know why this happens?

    In DVDSP Preferences, in Project settings, you can change the by default setting for new projects.

    Hi...
    Based upon the folder error, my guess is the Desktop Manager is having difficulty determining your default mail client. I am not sure why but it is easy enough to redo a profile in Outlook just to test this. (Control Panel / Mail)
    Of course, I would backup my PST file prior to doing this and then create a new profile and import the PST file into the new profile. Once the profile is running and tested ok, I would again go to the Control Panel / Mail and set the default profile to point to the newly created profile. Then run the Desktop Manager and see what happens....

    I understand you are experiencing an issue with your notebook. However, since this is a commercial notebook, you should post your issue on the notebook board of the HP Enterprise Forums for a better answer.
    Thanks and have a great day!

    i have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing   wht to do???

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!
