Shuffle not working on either mac or windows?

I've been trying forever to get my 1GB shuffle to work on my home PC. Re-installed and everything as per the instructions on the website, even tried to format the drive. Each time an application such as Itunes or windows explorer trys to access the shuffle it freezes up.
I took it to work and tried it on 3 more computers... a windows 2000 machine, Windows XP Pro machine, and a Mac G5. In fact it totally locked up the G5 when we plug it in, which is the same thing that happens with windows.
The light flashes amber when you plug it in and never stops. Alls the instructions say about that is "do not remove the iPod shuffle". I've left it like that for *5 hours* once, when i came back it was in the same condition.
The shuffle still plays tunes, still appears to be charged/charging. but i've not been able to update it for over a month now.

I have the same problem yesterday. I think Sam has got a solution for this, and i found sometimes it works, but not always.
1. download the lastest version of both itunes and ipod updater.
2. open ipod updater and itunes.
3. when window for ipod updater shows 'insert your ipod', insert your ipod.
4. let the ipod updater restore the initial settings on your ipod.
5. may be after this, itunes could recongise your ipod and transfer music to your shuffle automatically. So, it is a good idea to get all the songs ready in itunes before restoring your shuffle.
BTW, using a rear usb on your pc might be helpful.

ITunes 10/Homesharing not working between my Mac and Windows computers

Can see my three libraries but cannot drag and drop between the Mac iTunes and my two Windows iTunes libraries. Windows libraries can drag and drop between each other. Have tried to turn homesharing on and off. Have deauthorirized and authorized again also. Please help.

I'm having similar problems too and have been scouring the net for the past few hours with no luck in finding a solution. Right now on my home network I have 3 machines that have iTunes installed (all the latest version), my MacBook Pro running 10.6.3, my wife's Mac Mini running 10.6.4, and our HTPC running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. My MacBook Pro and PC have no problem using Home Sharing but the Mac Mini refuses to co-operate. The only way I can get it to see any other libraries, or for it to share it's own library, is to turn on network sharing. This works, but it isn't as nice as Home Sharing (when Home Sharing works that is :P ) I've followed all the instructions listed on Apple's site to enable Home Sharing on all the machines. Obviously I've done something right as the MBP and PC talk fine. The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with 10.6.4. If anyone has any suggestions I am certainly open to hearing them.

I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.

It's been a while but it should work on a Mac because Macs can read Windows formatted devices. Otherwise, you can perform a restore operation to return it to the Mac format. If you go to support.apple.com/manuals/ you can find a copy of the user manual for the model you have in which this is all explained.

Mouse.hide() not working on air/mac app

Hi,
I have an air app with a Mouse.hide() that is not working on the mac, but in an odd way. It has the latest AIR runtime as of the other day and I am publishing to AIR 2.0 from Flash Pro CS5. I'm making it from windows where it works fine, but the show computer is a mac mini.
I am calling Mouse.hide on the Document class in the ADDED_TO_STAGE handler (right before going FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE), as well as 2 seconds after ADDED_TO_STAGE via a timer.
Here's the thing. If you launch the air app from the dock in osx, it works every time. However, if you launch the app from a finder window, the Mouse.hide() does not work! It also doesn't work when the app is set to run at login, as this is a trade show display setup just to run this app. It is also worth noting that in this case, the app still does have keyboard focus as the keyboard events are registering properly. Hit "M" and I've got the mouse hiding that way with no problem. Trouble is the client wants it to be automatic, so that show staff can hit the power button on the computer and be done.
I would post my code, but seriously it's just on ADDED_TO_STAGE -> Mouse.hide() and it hasn't changed. Shouldn't that work? This has been working since the beginning of this project almost 10 months ago but just stopped working recently (within the last couple of times we have updated software on the show machines).
I need to come up with a solution to this, but as far as I can see the only solution is to upgrade the project to run at 10.2 and air 2.7 to use native mouse cursors and load a blank cursor. To do that I think I would need to convert my .xfl project over to a flex builder project with components but I'm still not quite sure how to do that, so it would definitely take some time :/
thanks for reading this and if you think it would help for me to show my code I'll put together a test bed.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for posting. Here's what I filed 6-27-13, but I did not receive a tracking # from Adobe:

Feedback Report            : ******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
When using Flash Pro CS6 to build a standalone Mac .app player, this code from CS5/AS3 no longer hides the mouse cursor. SWF and .exe files are not affected.
If you use Mouse.hide OR the FULL_SCREEN command, they work fine. Just not concurrently, like in CS5.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Use the following AS3 code together:
stage.displayState=StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
Mouse.hide();
2. Publish .fla as .app
Results:
App is full screen but mouse cursor is showing.
Expected results: Mouse should be hidden.

Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7

I received a product key for Windows 7 Professional N whilst I was at University via Dreamspark. I'm building a new computer and when it's come to inputting the product key, it comes up saying Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7.
The version I installed was Windows 7 Professional using an iso and a USB. I rang the phone activation number and when I got through to a representative, I gave him the product key and he said it is valid and should be working. He transferred me to technical
services but instead I got cut off.
At this point I'm really not sure what the issue is, the key was for Windows 7 Professional N, I installed Windows 7 Professional and customer support confirmed it as a valid key. Am I missing something?

Post your issue to the Windows 7 Genuine Issues forum. Here are the instructions on how to produce a diagnostic:
MGA
Diagnostic Report:
To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once downloaded, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.
Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post.

Issue Per Thread:
Most Activation and Validation issues look the same, on the surface, but can have many different causes and fixes. This is why we ask for a diagnostic report and this is also why we ask that you create your own thread for your issue (in other words,
don't post your issue in another person's thread).
It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.

Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
Instead they are greyed out now.

If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

Have you opened Disk utility and formatted it? Most new HDDs come formatted for Windows, not Mac.

Shuffle not working pc

I have a shuffle that works on my mac. now I need to transfer data to a pc, it works on some pc's but not the one i need it to. No removable hard drive does not come up (does on some pc), what would be the problem. I don't to use Itunes just transfer some data files. Any suggestions what would be wrong with the pc, it xp.

Your shuffle is programmed to be on your mac, not your PC. They aren't compatible.
How you deal with Apple, I don't understand.
