Solution for Windows users who repeatedly get "iPod in Recovery Mode".

If you are repeatedly receiving this message using iTunes 7 on Windows when connecting your Nano (it may be with other models, I can't test that), Windows may be assigning a drive letter that is already in use. This is particularly common for networked computers with mapped drives. For example, when I connected my Nano, I got the message above. No matter how many times I tried to restore it, I received the same message. Turns out, Windows was mapping the Nano to F:, which was already a mapped network drive in Windows. This is NOT a bug with the Nano or iTunes, it could happen to pretty much any removable drive. To fix this:
- Open Disk Manager (Right click on 'My Computer', select 'Manage', then select 'Disk Management' under 'Storage').
- Locate your iPod and right click on it. Select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths'.
- Remove the current drive letter assignment by clicking 'Remove'.
- Add a new drive letter assignment by selecting 'Add', and choosing an available drive letter that is not currently in use, and is not being used by another removable device.
On my computer, I have several removable drives, as well as several network mapped drives. My USB backup drive is B:, my thumb drive is T:, and now my iPod is I:. I don't know why I didn't think of this solution sooner.
If you need any help, reply here. I'll see what I can do.

HOW DO I GET OUT OF RECOVERY MODE?

Simple question, but seems to be hard to answer. Maybe nobody knows the answer. i have posted and posted time after time and no body gives me an answer. Go to clean up. ok been and done that. nothing happens. run pc scandisk. did it. nothing happened. connect to pc. did it. it does connect. i can get stuff off my nomad muvo 2 but for some reason
I CANNOT GET OUT OF RECOVERY MODE.
Could someone, anyone, give me a fricking straight on how to get the **bleep** out of RECOVERY MODE. I didn't spend $70 dollars on this piece of crap for it to not work.
So for the love that is all good and pure in the world, could someone please, please, getting on knees and begging for someone to help? And do not, and i repeat DO NOT REFER ME TO THE FRICKING RECOVERY MODE HELP THING, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HELP. SO DON'T BOTHER TYPING THAT IN.

I have a Zen Micro Photo and have been frustrated for many weeks. Sometimes a certain sequence is the key to success. I tried everything to no avail. I could not even get the Zen to charge with my Computer or wall outlet. I was stuck in Recovery Mode Hell. Of course, my battery drained and you must have a charge to upgrade the Firmware or do anything else. I even ordered a new battery on eBay. In the meantime, I purchased a **competitor** MP3 player which is the absolute best I have ever seen. Anyway, I read the Post here suggesting you try a certain sequence---which I then tried---and it worked for me. Somehow, I was able to get a charge from my PC last night. Without being hooked up to the PC I did the sequence (it would get locked up in Recovery Mode as soon as I hooked up to the PC anyway). My PC would simply refuse to recognize the Zen Micro Photo no matter what I did. As suggested, from Recovery Mode I clicked on "reformat", and when it was done I clicked on "reboot"--which it did. I then plugged in the USB cable and to my extreme surprise my PC recognized the player! I had downloaded the correct firmware file so I clicked on it. It opened and asked me if I really wanted to install this Firmware update as my player already had this Firmware installed. Really? I did a Format and I thought I erased the Firmware. I told setup to upgrade the Firmware anyway--which it did. Suddenly, my player started "reloading" its Library! I now have a working Zen Micro Photo (and a new **competitor**). I transferred a few MP3's to the Zen and they play just fine. I am serious when I say I tried everything-----over and over again. The player just remained locked in Recovery mode. It was this certain sequence that worked for me and possibly may work for you. This was my last attempt before the trash bin. Prices have fallen drastically for MP3 players and quality has improved (**competitor**), but I am happy that I now have two working MP3 players. One of them is going on eBay---any guess which one?

LR Launch With iPod Solution For Windows

I found it necessary to go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and change the name of apdproxy to REMapdproxy. Then go to Start > Run > msconfig > Startup and uncheck apdproxy. I found that unless I did both of these changes, LR will restart apdproxy on the next restart.

Help with PDF formsmaking them work for Windows users

I'm using a new user of Acrobat 8.0.0 and having a helluva time figuring out how to make PDF forms that work for Windows users.
I can make the forms okay and Mac users can fill them out (using either Preview or Reader), and I get them emailed to me just fine. But all of the PC users that I send them to tell me that they "can't save them."
Here's a test PDF I've created (with just a few plain fields in it):
http://www.braintoniq.com/dropbox/test.pdf
Can someone who's got XP tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or what I can tell my XP users how to save it and be able to email it back with their text.
thank you!

tuqqer;
Worked on my Firefox browser PDF plug-in running XP on my MBP. Opened the completed form in Adobe Reader 9 Windows and all looked fine. Just a note on your fields; date field not properly formatted and once filled, it has the same name as the NAME field. Just make sure our fields are named separately.
Best.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

How can I share my a public calendar from iCal (through iCloud) with Outlook for Windows users?

I have a public work calendar that I wish to share with colleagues in the office. No issues for those having a Mac or an iPhone, but how can I share the calendar with Outlook for Windows users?
Thanks for the help!

Hello ramirofromstrockholm,
The steps detailed below explain how to go about publicly share a calendar (which doesn't require that one be an iCloud user to accept).
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.

Obtain a primary token for a user who does not have permission to logon locally

I would like to know whether it's possible to obtain a primary token for a user who doesn't have permission to log on locally. If yes, what the recommended way is for doing that.
I called LogonUserW with logon32_logon_network logontype for user which is not allowed to logon locally. It returned impersonation token. I called DuplicateTokenEx to create primary token but it still returned impersonation token.

A Network Logon is always going to return an impersonation token. This is by design.
A Batch or Service logon would return a Primary Token. The user would need the corresponding right to return these 2 types of token. Typically, all users are allowed to generate a Network Token (Impersonation Token) but as you have discovered
it has limited usage which is by design.
thanks

How can I deploy EFS using Group Policy and automatically encrypt computers for ALL users who login?

How can I deploy EFS using Group Policy and Active Directory with a goal to automatically encrypt computers for ALL users who login? (NOT an option for me to use BitLocker)
I was asked to deploy EFS to encrypt the user my documents folder and profile on all of the users laptops. The laptops are in common areas (board meeting rooms, etc) and security of files is a must.
I successfully created a recovery certificate in AD. I created an OU and setup an EFS policy and users can now login and select to encrypt their own files. The issue is that management would like to have automaticy Encrypt ALL users my documents AUTOMATICALLY
when a user login.
Can this be done?
Please help
