That Apple ID is already in use.If this Apple ID was created by you, simply sign in with your Apple ID and password.If it does not belong to you, try again using a different name. - After downloading the latest software for my iPod, I got this message. ?

I began to follow the steps after the "restore" and when I got to the point where I add my email address, this is the message I recieved. I cannot use my iPod now because of this update! help!

Trying where? What sort of email address? The following answer is based on a guess as to what you are talking about.
If you already have an @me.com address, perhaps as a result of having had a MobileMe account, and you are now setting up an iCloud account with an Apple ID you will find you will be asked to create a new @me.com address, and that you can't add your existing one because it is already an Apple ID.
You can do one of two things:
1. Sign out at System Preferences; sign in with your existing @me.com address and enable Mail.
2. Stay signed in with the present ID and add your @me.com address in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
If you have further questions, or if your situation is different from what I've assumed, do please post back, but in a suitable forum - this one is specifically about using these Forums.

  • I recently downloaded the latest update for my Ipod Touch and now all the music I had downloaded (not from Itunes)....can I restore those songs now that there were 350 of them and they are gone? Thanks

    I recently downloaded the latest update for my Ipod touch. When I finished all the music that was downloaded to it was gone. I really need help from any one that knows how to restore music - not bought from Itunes - to my Ipod touch. Thank you very much

  • Help - I downloaded the latest update for my ipod, but instead it seems to have completely wiped it!

    Can someone please help me - I have downloaded the latest update for my ipod to try to get it to work with iCloud, to back everything up, but instead it seems to have wiped everything and restored my ipod to its factory settings and now when I try to sync it, it says 'Sync in Progress', but then doesn't do anything.
    When I got my ipod I installed loads of music from CD's, other mp3's etc on to my computer and downloaded it to the ipod. However over the past year I have bought all my music and apps straight from the ipod instead of the computer as I bought a new computer and every time I plugged my ipod in to it, it said that it would download content from the computer, which I didn't want to do as there was no music installed on the computer and I didn't want to lose anything. I had also previously read that you couldn't upload music from an ipod to a computer for some reason.
    However, I then heard about the new iCloud where it automatically updates your purchases to all your Apple devices. So when I looked up how to get iCloud it said I needed to install the new ios5 to get an account. I then plugged my ipod in to my computer and tranfered all my purchases to my computer. Once this was complete I clicked on 'update ipod' where it said it would update it from version 3.something to version 4.something, so I left it to it, but when I came back to find it was complete, I looked on my ipod and there was nothing there -no music, no apps, nothing except what was there when I first bought it.
    I tried to re-sync it to at least get back the 300-odd songs I'd purchased that are on my new computer, but every time I do it, it displays 'Sync in Progress', but then stops and it hasn't done anything. The ipod itself is working fine and I have no problems with my computer, so I can only assume itunes is causing the problem.
    Please could someone tell me if there's a way I can restore my ipod and if there's a way I can get back all my music, including the 2000 odd tracks that I had that weren't bought from itunes?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files?

    I can't open the RAW files from my new Nikon D4s camera in photoshop? How do I download the latest software for RAW files? Cheers!

    What version of Photoshop are you running?  You will need at CS5, CS6, CC or CC2014.  Each version needs a different ACR-plug-in to open files from that camera.
    If you are on CS4 or earlier, you'll need to upgrade—or, in the alternative; look for, download, instal, launch and run the free, stand-alone DNG Converter 8.6 on each file of raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs first so you can open them in your version of Photoshop and ACR plug-in higher than 2.4.

  • My apple TV  can't download a movie without stopping several timese aftervindid the latest software update. Plus, I got a message that it could not connect to the iTunes server for a full day. Please don't tell me I spent all this money for nothing!

    After a day of my apple tv not being able to connect to the iTunes server, I am now able to connect but can't even download a movie. Please don't tell me all the money I spent on this system as well as content was a waste. What the heck is going on apple?!? You guys used to be the best!

    Thanks for running that test on the brand new library, jfinch420. I can add that Home Sharing seems to be otherwise working. Yesterday, as a test I shut off Home Sharing and rebooted the AppleTV and my iPhone Remote app stopped working. I reenabled Home Sharing and the app began working again. The Remote App requires Home Sharing to work. This would seem to indicate that Home Sharing on my AppleTV seems to be working.  So the problem for me is very specifically that all network services work on my AppleTV except the ability to access my iTunes library.
    I'm trying to think of what variables changed. iTunes was updated to v12.0.1.26 on October 16th, and there was an AppleTV update on November 17th, but my 2nd gen AppleTV is still running 6.2.1. There is no later OS for it. I was using my AppleTV to stream media from my iTunes library on the 26th. For the life of me I cannot identify what changed while I was away over the holiday. By November 28th, my AppleTV could no longer connect to my iTunes library.
    In addition, my AppleTV frequently crashes and reboots when accessing preferences from time to time. It's likely related. In fact, last week I changed my library name to see if the AppleTV would notice. I did it again a moment ago and my AppleTV crashed every time I selected "Computers". I rebooted iTunes and the AppleTV and that fixed the crashing problem. I don't know what it means, but I'm throwing it out there for what it's worth.
    I will check the following things next:
    1) Connect iTunes & AppleTV via ethernet to rule out WiFi router issues.
    2) Use a different iCloud account to enable Home Sharing.
    3) Wait for the weekend when my friend can use his iCloud info to test home sharing between his laptop and my AppleTV.
    4) Call Apple. Maybe there is a component on the AppleTV motherboard that has gone bad causing the problems.
    BTW, I have an enormous library, too, but your test ruled out library size as an issue.

  • HT1212 screen is blank with the apple logo. Will not boot up after downloading the latest software. Any suggestions?

    screen is blank with apple logo after downloading new ios 7. Any suggestions?

    Hi, ronia90.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would first try a reset of the device.  To reset a device,  press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.  You may need to attempt this multiple times.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    If the issue persists, you may need to attempt a restore on the device via forced recovery.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • After downloading the latest update, my playlists now go into shuffle mode everytime I try to play.  I have turn6ed off shuffle on both my computer and ipod, and even tried recreating a new list, to no avail.  Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

    After downloading the latest update for my Ipod touch, my playlists now go into "shuffle" mode everytime I try to play.  I have turned off shuffle on both itunes and my ipod and even tried recreating the playlist and syncing with no luck.  I don't know what is causing this, because before the last download, it never happened.  Any ideas on how to fix?

    Since this is an XP machine, which version of iTunes do you have installed?  Is it the latest version?
    Have you tried starting iTunes, attach the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod...that is the recovery mode but also should make iTunes see the iPod.
    If that doesn't work you may need to take the iPod back and have it tested by the genius bar techs to make sure the connector is not bad.

  • I just downloaded the latest software to my iPhone 4 and I am now getting my sons messages.  he too uses the same itunes and pc to sync, how do I stop this?

    Hi, I downloaded the latest software for my iphone 4 and this morning I received text messages that were meant for my son.  we both use the same PC and iTunes for our iphones, so will he get a copy of my messages too when he upgrades his software?
    does anyone know how to stop this?  or how it happened in the first place?
    thanks
    Cathy

    You have an Apple ID signed in to all the devices which is causing this.
    "When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
    To correct this, go into Settings > Messages > Send and Recieve at > See below...
    On your phone: Uncheck your son's phone number
    On his phone: Uncheck your phone number.
    On iPad: Uncheck both phone numbers to prevent iMessages sent to either number to also appear on the iPad.
    If you have email addresses associated here, then you may have to remove those as well, although you won't be able to remove the Apple ID that you're using. Any iMessage sent to that Apple ID will arrive at all the device unless you sign out of that Apple ID and create/use another Apple ID for that device.

  • After downloading the latest update when I sync my phone my contacts don't appear, help!

    After downloading the latest software update I connected my iPhone and afterwards found everything but my contacts transfered over so I don't have my contacts on my phone where I need them! Can anyone help?

    It's a problem with Gmail. There is another thread discussing it, but most would rather whine than try to fix it.
    Nobody has figured out what is causing it, but there have been various suggestions.
    One was to display the All Mail folder if you've hidden it.
    You can delete by opt- delete. I think that will delete it immediately.
    Another person looked in the user/Library/Mail/V2/ folder.  He had duplicate account folders, having a sequence digit suffix.  He deleted the duplicates and it fixed things.

  • After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone everytime I turn on my computer I get a message that reads: AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. Does anybody know what this means?

    After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone, everytime I turn on my computer I receive a message that reads: "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite.dll" Help! Does anybody know what this means and how I can fix it? Thanks.

    Yes.  I just solved the problem on my PC.  Here goes...
    Issue:  My Windows7 computer was producing the pop up box with the error text as you described.
    The Problem: You have another application on your computer that uses the like named .DLL file... in this case a DLL supporting SQLite on your local PC.
    Solution: 
    1.  You need to use the Windows File search feature to look for the name "SQLite".  This will quickly locate the offending DLL in the other application.
    2. Decide which program you like the most, in my case "Mobile Me", and uninstall the offending application.
    3.  Uninstall Mobile Me.
    4.  Restart your PC.
    5.  Reinstall Mobile Me.
    6.  Mobile Me should sync at this point, but if not, restart the PC once again.
    In my case, the offending program was my Aptana Studio development application.  I had recently the SQLite3 database to my Ruby On Rails configuration...
    This is where the file was located:
    C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Aptana Studio 2.0\plugins\com.aptana.radrails.sqlite3.win32_3.5.7.1278709071\vendor\SQLite3.d ll
    I hope this helps,
    Ron

  • I want to download the new software on my ipod touch on a different computer to what i normally use, but it keeps telling me i will loose all my downloads. Is it possible to make this computer the main computer to sync my ipod?

    I want to download the new software on my ipod touch, on a different computer to what i usually sync my ipod to, and it keeps telling me i will lose all my downloads. i it possible to download the update on this computre, without deleting my information, and making this computer the main computer to sync my ipod to?

    A manual backup will help in your situation.
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
    Apps can be downloaded again for free, in some countries music as well: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • After downloading the latest upgrade of Adobe, I can no longer open files that are PDF's.  Why do I keep getting error 0.104?

    Since October 23rd, after downloading the recent upgrade for Adobe Reader,  I continually keep getting error code 0.104 whenever I try to open a file that is in PDF format.  No matter if I'm using Internet Explorer or Chrome.  Huge waste of time!  I have restored the Adobe to previous upgrade of September 2014, which was working fine.  I have restarted the computer several times since I restored to prior version with no luck at all.  

    This is the message i keep getting when I try and open my PDF files that are on my desktop. I run a Macbook Pro. I checked for updates on system and adobe all say unto date?
    Adobe Reader could not open 'Employment Application(1).pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
