Searched first, please help! :)

hey, i am new to the boards and to having an ipod. i have had many problems with my nano but i still love it. i can deal with the minor scratches, the installation nightmares are all in the past.
but could someone please help me with this? i hooked up my nano to my friend's computer to get copies of her cds. it asked to replace the library and we clicked yes. i have all 511 songs of hers on my ipod but they don't work. when i press play they scroll through and don't let me stop to hear one. resetting it did not work. i'm at my wits end, to be honest.
I tried on my computer to add my songs back. and it won't let me update my songs. i don't understand. i tried selecting checked playlists and putting all my cds into a few playlists. it seems like it is updating but never adds the songs.
I was concerned about the do not disconnect message but then learned from the discussion site that this means windows reads my ipod as a hard drive. (i guess that is why it is listed as removable drive e on my computer icon!)
and my ipod doesn't charge on my computer (no icon or anything). apple care told me to take it to store, but it charges on friends laptop. odd.
I would sincerely appreciate anyone's help in the matter. i don't know what to try next.
thanks!

Hi Daniella, welcome to discussions.
i hooked up my nano to my friend's computer to get copies of her cds. it asked to replace the library and we clicked yes. i have all 511 songs of hers on my ipod but they don't work.
This is what we call 'stealing music'. You probably won't get much help with this one, since what you've done is basically illegal.
I tried on my computer to add my songs back. and it won't let me update my songs. i don't understand.
Probably because your iPod is now linked to your friend's iTunes library.
If I were in your shoes, I think you should wipe out the Nano by doing a restore from your computer. This should give you a fresh start to load all of your tracks back on the iPod. You can do the restore using the iPod Updater utility which should be installed on your computer already.
Then, don't hook the Nano up to any other computer but your own!

    Hi Monica, Thanks for you patience with me.
    I have tried writing a selection sort method but am having some errors. Could you kindly have a lookand correct me please.
    This is the code i wrote

              String strFirstName;
              String strLastName;
              Comparable temp;
              for(int i = 0; i < lastName.length; i++)
                   lastName = index;
                   for (int j = i; j < lastName.length; j++)
                        if (lastName[j].compareTo(lastName) < 0)
                             lastName[j] = lastName[i];
                   //Swap the string values
                   temp = lastName[j];
                   lastName[j] = lastName[i];
                   lastName[i] = temp;
    As you requested, below are 4 error messages I had

    ...tag. If you wanted a description and keyword meta tag, you first need to create the correct format...
    <meta name="description" content="this is where the description goes" />
    <meta name="keywords" content="keywords go here" /> (ignored by most browsers)
    You also MUST reduce the size of that description. Generally speaking one or two sentences is it and formatting is also ignored (all the line breaks). That massive block is being ignored first, because it's not correctly formatted, second even if it was, it is going to present to the search engines as a cramming situation and be ignored.
    Your meta tags are not a major factor in how your site will be found. In fact, the keywords meta tag (which it appears you have combined with your description tag) is completely ignored by the major search engines. Your site needs to have keyword rich, relevant html text first and foremost. Without it, you won't be found.
    EDIT: Also, being indexed takes time. You may benefit from creating a Google Webmaster Account, but there is no guarantee it will speed up the process. Indexing can take up to a month in some situations. If the site just went up, give it time.

  • CTL-F = ColdFusion Search = BROKEN = PLEASE HELP!!!

    I'm using CF Builder Version: 2.0.0, Build: 278082 (I just installed hotfix 1 hoping that would solve these problems, but it didn't)
    1) Using the ColdFusion Search between files doesn't work for me. Example: CTL-F (opens CF Search dialog) and I paste in "cfoutput" (without the quotes). I repeatedly hit the Find button and cycle through all the matches in the document. Then I select a different document, the ColdFusion Search dialog is still on top, I click the "Find" button and nothing happens. The ColdFusion Search dialog doesn't do anything, even though there are matches in the current document. I have to close the dialog, hit CTL-F again, and re-execute the search. This is completely different from the eclipse Find dialog behavior, where you can conduct the same search after switching the current document.
    2) Why do multiple ColdFusion Search dialogs open? I can open as many as I want by entering CTL-F. Shouldn't it just select the dialog if it's already open? I don't get it.
    Also, the CF Search dialog window position is not saved, which adds a lot more clicks to my work flow!
    I must be missing something here... this is either broken or I'm not understanding something. Or better yet, maybe I can have my old eclipse find dialog back!!!
    Thanks in advance!
    -JP

    Here are the bugs I created... would be great if they got votes. I cannot use CFB 2 without fixes to these problems because I rely on CTL-F to work correctly. I'm not sure how these things passed QA... it's a far departure from the way std. eclipse and CFB 1 work. At the very least, we need a patch or workaround that will allow us to turn off ColdFusion Search and use the built in eclipse Find dialog.
    ColdFusion Search "Current Document" scope does not work when selecting a different file

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • STEVE JOBS!! PLEASE HELP!! LIST OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED IN FIRST UPDATE!!

    DEAR STEVE AND APPLE DEVELOPMENT TEAM,
    I have been a loyal Mac customer for almost 20 years. This is the first time I have been extremely unhappy. My thoughts are listed below......
    In giddy excitement, I rushed home from work on Tuesday September 12, 2006 to downloaded itunes 7 and play with the new added features, but to my dismay the bad upgrade experience began which I go into more detail below.
    I just wanted to mention that I bought some new music videos and they won't play. Contacted Apple and they said that they would not give me a refund or itunes store credit. Is this good customer service Apple?? This past week since installing itunes 7.0 It's been a week of MAC DRAMA! If it's the company's fault that I'm having problems because of a bad software upgrade, should I be punished for being a good customer?? Not good business Apple. Wise up to your customers. Without us, where would you be???
    BELOW IS MY PERSONAL DREAM LIST OF ITUNES 7.0 FIXES........
    1) NOT AN EASY UPGRADE. This was not an easy upgrade. itunes 7.0 removed all of my music videos from my ipod because the preferences are now in the summary and at the bottom of the music tab is a check box for including your music videos. Should this not be on by default? Because it was not, all my music videos were erased so I had to put them all back on my ipod which is very time consuming.
    2) INSTALLING QUICKTIME. Apple don't you think that you should have told your customers to install the latest NEW version of Quicktime BEFORE installing itunes 7.0?
    3) MUSIC VIDEO LIBRARY. The itunes library is now separated into different categories. Good idea if you had thought it through. Apple, if you have three video kind settings in the get info box (music video, movie, TV show) would it not be a good idea to reflect this in the new itunes library? PLEASE ADD A MUSIC VIDEO LIBRARY. I understand that music videos are music, but because they are music videos and not audio, it would just make it easier to be able to access them separately from the rest of your mp3's.
    4) COVER FLOW. Again great idea for the eye candy if it worked correctly. Every-time I try to use the coverflow view and add movie art or album art half the time itunes crashes. I have to force quit, then restart itunes. Never crashed in itunes 6.0. Please fix!!
    5) GET ALBUM ART. Get album art is a great idea if it would work correctly. I click on a song that needs art, use the contextual menu, go to get album art, yeah!!!!! oh... nothing happened? Still using third party software fetch art instead.
    6) CATEGORIES. When you are in a playlist or library and would search for a file — at the top left of the itunes 6.0 window it would give you automatic categories to refine and breakdown your search even more. For example, Music, Music Video, Movie, Podcasts. Why did you take this out in itunes 7.0? It was very helpful in refining your search!! PLEASE PUT BACK!!
    7) MUSIC VIDEOS. Even though I would have my music videos set to skip when song shuffle is selected, I could go into the music video folder of the ipod and just play my music videos and they would shuffle within their own folder. Now in itunes 7.0 they will not shuffle. So of course to get around this.... again I had to do more work than I would like to have, by creating just a music playlist with all my songs so I can have them shuffle separate from everything else on my ipod. Then I had to go into my music videos and select all of them to now not skip when shuffle is selected. Apple why are you making this harder on us?? Why are we having to backtrack and regress to do what itunes 6.0 did for us automatically??!!
    8) FRONT ROW WILL NOW NOT RECOGNIZE ANY OF MY TV SHOWS. I go to front row, TV shows, nothing is listed. Just a blank bar. Only way around this is to get info then change video kind from TV show to movie. If video kind is a TV show, then Front Row needs to reflect that. PLEASE FIX!!!
    9) QUICKTIME CRASHES ABOUT HALF THE TIME I USE IT NOW. No problems until last upgrade. I open a video file, click play, spinning color wheel of death! Force quit restart. Did Microsoft help you with this last upgrade???
    10) ITUNES 7.0 IS VERY SLUGGISH! Not as responsive as itunes 6.0. Apple what happened with taking your time. I feel that itunes 7.0 was not thought through and rushed! IF IT AIN'T BROKE, THEN DON'T FIX IT!!! Remember Coke and New Coke?
    I have read numerous more complaints from customers regarding their own personal experiences with this VERY BAD UPGRADE. Apple, I really hope you are reading a lot of these user complaints and really taking this seriously. This mistake may cost you a lot of loyal MAC fans.
    Steve, I hope your reading this. Please help us!!
    Sincerely,
    Jason Bowles

    You're wasting your time writing letters to Apple here as these are user to user forums.
    Use the iTunes feedback form to request improvements and fixes.
    It looks like you used the iTunes Store support form to ask Apple for a refund or store credit but if you think about it, anyone could ask for a refund saying their files don't work and Apple wouldn't know if they were telling the truth. You can ask for replacement copies of your purchases just like I did when I had a corrupted file one. If there really is a problem I suspect an iTunes/QuickTime update will render your videos playable again.
    Most people like me are not experiencing the problems you describe and I can honestly say all my videos and music are playing just fine.
    I updated to QuickTime 7.1.3 after I updated and played with iTunes 7 so that didn't make any difference. I also repaired permissions before and after the updates and permissions were changed so that may have been important.
    I don't know about the erasing of videos from the iPod as I don't have a video capable one.
    I totaly agree about the need for a Music Video library to go with the other libraries and I don't want my music videos in the main music library. This is preferable to using a Music Videos Smart Playlist. I currently find my music videos/behind the scenes interviews etc in the Movies library because their Video Kind is set to "Movies" and the option to change that is greyed out which is a pain. Temporarily I added a grouping tag of "Music Videos" to those videos and edited the Music Videos Smart Playlist to look for that Grouping tag, so at least I can find old and new Music Videos in one place.
    I've had no issues with Cover Flow whatsoever and despite extensive use of iT7 have had no crashes so can't comment on that.
    The Get Album Art feature only works if your track information is correct and the songs are available in the iTunes Store because that's where the artwork comes from. It also won't work if you already have artwork in place from another source so you'd have to remove that to make way for the iTunes artwork if you're wanting higher quality artwork than you could elsewhere.
    The thinking behind the categories change is that you have separate libraries so you can go straight to the appropriate one for movies, podcasts etc. The seach box features a drop-down menu to narrow your search down to All, Album, Artist, Composer or Song so whichever library or playlist you go into you can narrow a search with that.
    I am not finding iTunes 7 to be sluggish at all and having tested its cpu usage I know that's using about 1.5% when idle to 7-10% when playing a song.
    Clearly something is wrong with your installation so assuming you've done the usual practices of repairing permissions and even a reboot for good measure then maybe a reinstall of iT7 and QT is in order.
    I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you or Apple crack it and all will be well again.

  • TS1702 how do I find apps for the Ipod version 3.1.3 for the Ipod touch in Itunes?! Is there no more apps for the first gen Ipod? I've tried and tried and googled and can't find a single app that will install on this old Ipod. Please help!

    I recently had an Ipod first gen with Ios 3.1.3 fixed and am in need of finding games for my son to play, but I cannot for the life of me find any games or any apps that can be installed on this Ipod! every time I download something and try to install it, Itunes keeps telling me that the app requires a newer Ios! There isn't any new Ios version for this ipod that I can find. Itunes won't install any newer version of Ios, and no new apps can be found that can be installed. Please help me.

    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
