Software registration won't go aw

A few weeks ago I got a Nomad as a gift. I installed the software that came with it but didn't register it. Later, I returned the player to the store with everything it came with, including the installation CD.
Now the program is really bothing me to register, and I can't uninstall it. It's not under the list of uninstallable programs, and I can't just simply delete the program files because access is denied.
What it's doing is first (when I start up the computer) I get a message that says "Gentle Reminder: Register your Creative products now to enjoy a host of benefits." Gee how gentle, when you click "OK" or even just close it it sends you another message.
"If you are registering portable products, please ensure that they are connected and switched on before hitting the OK button." There's no other button and closing it does the same thing.
Then I get a larger window that basically says "no product detected do you wish to proceed" but this time it gives me a choice yes or no.
Hitting no brings me directly back to the first "gentle reminder" window. It's a loop.
I'll try hitting yes...but this is a real b!tch.

So did you get your iPod then?
Check using MSCONFIG (from Start > Run) to see what's running in the startup. It should be relati'vely easy to see what the program is.

  • Internet Connect crash/Software Update won't open

    I have a 500mhz G3 slot loading iMac running 10.3.9
    About 2 weeks ago, after waking FrankenMac up from sleep mode, I noticed the Airport status symbol failed to appear in the menu bar (next to the volume/date&time etc).
    Looking into my Network settings revealed that I was indeed still connected to the internet, via my Airport, all systems go. However, I noticed that "show airport status in menu bar" was unchecked, so I checked the box. Which apparently did jack squat b/c there's still no icon.
    For the last couple weeks, as long as I've been connected to the internet, I could really give a flying flip about whether the airport status icon is there or not. I mean, seriously. I know this computer is a little old so why rock the boat on something trivial?
    Until today. Today I was determined to figure out where the icon is, why it went away and if there are any other underlying problems.
    I started first with Internet connect. Applications->Internet Connect, clicked on the purple IC button, only to have it launch in the dock, bounce once, then quit.

    I attempted to open Software Update next to see if there was something critical (ha!) I might be missing. Apple menu->software update and it was a repeat performance of Internet Connect, except this time I wouldn't even get so much as the Software Update icon in the dock. The dock would move everything to the left, as if it was going to open, then....nothing.
    *Software update was working as of 6/14*, when I updated (perhaps foolishly) to Quicktime 7.5.

    This ridiculously long post boils down to 2 questions, really.
    • Any ideas why Internet Connect and Software Update won't open and how to fix?
    • Where in the world is my Airport status icon? (not that it matters since I'm connected to the internet, but doggone it!)
    I've run Disk Utility, repaired permissions and the HD checks out fine. I'm just at a loss (not surprising, given my limited amount of fix-it-yerself knowledge)
    Should I just put up, shut up and be grateful that these problems, while aggravating, aren't majorly disrupting my life?

    Trying to install Adobe Photodeluxe (elements 13)   I have box and cd sleeve with serial number,   But registration won't let me type letters only numbers allowed.  Help please.

    You possibly have a redemption code which has to be converted into a serial number.

  • When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

    When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

    You can go back by restoreing your backup of the iPhoto library from the previous version a installing the previous version for its original source
    Of course I use iPhoto - and I have not idea what
    Do you use iPhoto? What version are you using and have you sent photos using it from the iPhoto and used the older templates?
    means
    one last time if you want help you have to start by being percise and shaing information - for example "older version" is of no help since there are 40 or 50 older versions
    again
    Sorry but if you have a question then you need to provide information  - what are you talking about? What version of iPhoto and what OS version do you have? What upgrade are you talking about? what e-mail client are you using?

  • Software & registration number trashed..NEED help!!

    I bought and installed iwork '06 yesterday and trashed iwork '05. Weeks ago, I trashed the paper boxes/materials came with iwork '05 that means, I trashed the software (iwork '05) registration number required for software installation. Is there any way to get back the software registration number from any hidden corner/source? Or, is there any source where I can send email requesting for the registration number? If nothing is possible, I may have to trash the iwork'05 DVD that will be painful.Though iwork '06 is running fine so far, I may need it, for which I paid, in future. Can anybody help me to retrieve the lost registration keys? I do appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

    Dennis,
    Thank you for your helpful suggestion. I will follow your way to be more organised with the installed softwares from now and onward. But, you see, as I remember as a former Windows user, the software serial number is readily availale in a text file (may be in a 'Read me' file or different) in the installer CD/DVD. This is really useful. Once someone buys a software...s/he deserves everything useful to the user in relation to software installation and usage MUST be documented in both CD/DVD and paper. I believe Apple smart softwares are lacking this feature, which is surely helpful to their smart users. Where there are users guides in the CD/DVD, the serial number is not...this is certaily a lacking..isnt it???!!!

  • Software Update won't check for updates automatically

    Hello
    Since my update to Lion, the automated Software Update (Preferences -> Software Update) won't check automatically for updates, even if it's configurated to check daily. I can see this behaviour on different MacBooks with Lion.
    If I check manually, I'll get all necessary updates - but not automatically.
    Do you've an idea or the same issue?
    Thanks & Regards

    If your logged in as Standard User it won't check.

    What does "the registration won't let me" mean? If the serial number is rejected, contact support by web chat. for anything else you need to provide proper technical information and actually explain your issue.

    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

  • Software registration problem?

    I re-installed Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium (Windows) and apparently messed up the serial number registration. Now I get "user name, organization, serial number is missing or invalid" - I'm locked out of my software! Everything was properly registered with Adobe years ago, and again just last week. I have the correct serial number and it matches their records. I have tried re-installing the software but it locks me out every time. The support department sent me here because they no longer support this product. Any ideas on how to resolve this registration issue?

    Hi,
    no shortcut
    scenario is as below:
    1. I run software registration in captivate
    2. Choose Excel
    3. I put number 2 in A1 and number 5 in A2
    4. in A3 I put sum cell A1 and A2 (first "=", second clik into A1, third write sign "+" from keybords, and at the and click A2 and enter)
    after those steps I stop software registration and check (F4) this traning and what happen:
    I see than when I cliked (into cell, menu et.) than new slide is created but when I wrote something from keybords no new slide created
    And this is wrong because clik into cell is first step and write sign "+" is second step (I should see those steps as separate STEPS, but I see as one SLIDE/step and this is wrong and no make sense
    thaks regards

  • Itunes & software update won't download

    I opened iTunes today and it said there is an update so I clicked Download.
    When the App store opens, a couple old apps like Final Cut are still up there that also don't work as well as a new Software Update.
    I hit Install All and nothing happened apart from an error message about Final Cut.
    I restarted twice and still it's happening, although iTunes and Software updates won't show up.

    Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?

  • ITunes claims my 5th gen ipod has old software, but won't let me update

    I have two ipods... one an old 3rd gen scroll wheel ipod that just seemed to go kaput... it wasn't showing up in the iTunes source list or on my desktop. So I followed some directions on the apple site to try to restore it:
    "Step 1
    Delete the file using Terminal
    Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities).
    Type: sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/iPodDriver.kext
    Press Return.
    Enter the administrator account password when prompted.
    Quit Terminal.
    Restart the computer (From the Apple menu, choose Restart).
    Step 2
    Reinstall iTunes
    Download the latest version of iTunes from the iTunes download page.
    Install iTunes.
    Restart the computer after the installation has completed.
    Connect iPod.
    Step 3
    Delete the iPod.plist file
    Remove the following file in the your home directory and launch the iPod updater again
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ipod.plist"
    Anyway none of this worked for my old ipod (I think it's dead) but here's my new problem. Since I did this I plugged in my new ipod, 5th gen black 60g, and I got an error message that said:
    "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the iPod "Honey" because your iPod software is too old. Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click Update to get the latest iPod software update."
    When I went to the Summary page the whole "Version" section is grayed out and it says "Your iPod is up to date."
    What is going on and how can I fix it?

    I am having the same problem. I'm wanting to update to iOS 7, the 'Update Now' button is available, but it says I can't download due to no Internet connection. I DO have an Internet connection, but either way it won't let me update. Help!

  • After purchasing and downloaded GarageBand software, It won't work and start over and over to download the software

    After purchasing and downloading GarageBand on App Store the software won't start and switch to download over and over the software. It's virtually impossible to reach someone from Apple for support grrrrrrr.... So can someone could kindly give me a clue or solution for this issue?
    Thank!
    P.S: Could you please send your reply to:  [email protected]

    Have you restarted your computer after installing?
    if that does not help, repair the permissions on your system drive using the "First Aid" panel in "Disk Utility" (launch from Application > Utilities)
    And if this does not help, reinstall Garageband:
    Quit the AppStore.
    Move the GarageBand Application to the Trash, but do not empty the Trash.
    Reopen the AppSTore and sign in again with the same account you used to buy GarageBand. Now you should be able to download GarageBand again and to reinstall it.
