Hi,

I tried everything but it is not working...
If somebody knows how to resolve this ..... kindly reply to this...

The iPod shuffle forum would be best to post this question. Here's a link to it.

  • Can not sync ipod shuffle says : The Ipod SYS  cannot be used with itunes  because it is not formatted properly. But i have restore it several times and still not working

    Hi, I'm trying to sync my new Ipod to get the new album I got but when I connected it the meesage: The Ipod SYS  cannot be used with itunes  because it is not formatted properly. appears in itunes. I have restored several times now but it is not working I already downloaded music to it, it is brand new..just 2 weeks old. Somebody can help me? Do I need to return it to the store I bought it from?

    The last Restore completed without any error message, or do you get the "ipod SYS" error message?
    I'm thinking this is a case of iTunes and Windows confusing the iPod's storage disk with another drive, described here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1493
    So, iTunes/Windows thinks another drive is the iPod, and errors out because that drive is not formatted as expected (for an iPod).  The solution, in the document linked above, is to change the iPod's assigned drive letter.

    Good Morning,
    I just did a software update on my phone (finally) last night and now my phone will not come on.  It keeps showing the charger pointing up to a blue circle with iTunes inside and will not go any further.  Can ANYONE help me please???

    The phone is in restore mode and the picture is telling you what to do. Connect the phone, by cable, to iTunes in the computer you normally use for syncing, and retore the phone.

  • Error: iTunes could not connect to iPod because it is locked with a passcode.  You must enter your passcode on iPod before it can be used with iTunes.  We do NOT remember the passcode used.

    I am trying to restore my son's iPod Touch 4th generation. I went about 20 minutes into the recovery process and got the error message, iTunes could not connect to iPod because it is locked with a passcode you must enter your passcode on iPod before it can be used with iTunes. The whole problem started with my son putting in a password that he has now forgotten. How do I get passed this? 

    its the 1st time ive heared of this
    can u link it to an computer to add music?
    if so you should be able to restore it
    connect to itunes under  the devices tab click on the ipod now click summary on the top
    on the page you should see and check for update's or update tab
    below that there should be an restore tab just click on the restore tab
    NOTE RESTOREING WILL DELETE EVERYTHING YOU ADDED TO THE IPOD AND IT WILL BE BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS

  • Can't connect to my itunes because the message states that another user is using my itunes when thi is not true.

    I can not connect to my itunes account because the message states that another user in using the account and this is not true.

    After a visit to the apple store, they were able to get through my pass code but unfortunately I found out that is was a problem with the logic board. Since Apple only wants to sell and not fix, I was able to locate an iphone repair near me that deals with logic boards and they are currently working on it right now. i should be getting it back soon. Im not sure if the problem you are experiencing is the same as i went through but it does sound like it may be also a hardware issue and would suggest searching online for an iphone repair place that can diagnose what exactly is wrong. Hope this helps.

  • Can DAP be used with iTunes

    No.
    Movies are already compressed so it wouldn't work anyway.

  • I just got a Ipod Touch 5G but it won't sync with Itunes because it is not newest one. What should I do?

    Well you see, I just got this new Ipod 5G that I really wanted but something went wrong when I tried to sync it with Itunes. It said that the ipod needed 10.7 Itunes but clearly I had not so late version 10.6.3. And I can't update my itunes because it is at the point where it can not update for now so I don't know when it will ever update to 10.7 but right now I am stuck on 10.6.3. And if I can't get it to update how will I be able to sync my music into this new ipod, what should I do?

    You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD or use a combination of these instructions and iTunes Match to put content onto the iPod touch.

    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor

    You have to purchase the upgrade from Apple for $129. You ned to call and order ti since it is not listed in their on-line store. You can also try eBay or Craig's List. 

  • I upgraded my Iphone, but now I can't connect it to itunes because it is not upgraded. However, when I want to upgraded, it says that my computer (imac)  needs to be upgraded to another version. I can't find anything to help me out.

    I upgraded my Iphone to IOS6, but now I can't connect it to itunes (10.6.3) because it is not upgraded. However, when I want to upgraded, it says that my computer (imac Mac OS 10.5.8)  needs to be upgraded to another version. I can't find anything to help me out.

    You need iTunes 10.7 or later.
    To get this, you need Mac OS 10.6.8 or later.
    You can get 10.6 Snow Leopard here -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • Why the iPad became blank black when I syn with itunes and it did not work again?

    Why the ipad became blank black when I syn it with itunes of the desk top.  It did not work since then.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I just got an iPod touch 4th generation for my daughter. I already have a iPhone 5 setup with iTunes. All I want to put on her iPod is music and apps. How do I set the iPod to only get that information using my iTunes?

    I just got a new iPod Touch 4th generation for my daughter. I have a iPhone 5 that is already set up on iTunes. The only thing I want on her iPod from my iTunes is music and apps. How do I set her iPod up so that it only gets that information? Do I set it up as a new device? If so will that alter my iTunes?
    Thanks.

    You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    But you'll have to use your Apple ID to sync bought media to her device. Disable all other things you don't want to sync like photos, contacts, etc.

  • Ever since I upgraded my MacBook to Lion the system reports I can't do this or that because I'm not connected to the Internet.

    At first it was the CS4 Adobe suite. I could't launch any application. The computer gave me this "you are not connected" message al the time and said some Java thing was required in order to operate, but was unable to download.
    Then Carolyn Samit showed me where to find that Java plugin online and I installed it successfully. I can run any Adobe application again.
    This morning I tried to download a new voice in Spanish for my Speech responses and "you are not connected" showed up again, suggesting me to get a diagnose from the Network preferences control panel. When I run the Assistant / Diagnose / Wi fi check up and it asks me to reset the connection from scratch it simply says the computer is not able to establish a connection, even when I already was connected in the first place.
    I quit the System Preferences and get online again as simply as clicking the antenna icon in the top Menu and selecting my network signal. Of course I can connect! —And I don't even need to retype the Wep password.
    Why do I keep getting this message? Why can't I connect using the Network control panel?
    Hope someone can help me, please!

    Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
    I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
    You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
    In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
    You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc.

  • Can Captivate be used with a LMS that is not SCORM compliant?

    We are currently using Flash for all of our online courses, but would like to switch to Captivate.
    Unfortunately, our LMS is not SCORM compliant. Is there a way to use Captivate with our LMS? We would need it to record test scores and student information. We're open to a third party solution.

    TLC is correct, you could report to your own DB.
    Reply to a similar question with webpointers:
    Ways to integrate captivate with a database?
    Is your LMS AICC compliant? Captivate will work with AICC as well.
    And while Adobe Connect is not technically SCORM compliant, Captivate will work with that as well.
    AND Captivate can track via xAPI (TinCan), so there's that option too...though I suspect if your LMS doesn't support SCORM, it probably doesn't support xAPI.
    So you have a few options...

  • Error with iTunes "The iPod Group Storage cannot be used with iTunes...."

    I bought a usb hub to accomodate my multiple usb devices. I plugged my iPod into this and got the following error:
    "The iPod Group Storage cannot be used with iTunes because it is not formatted properly."
    I plugged the iPod into the computer rather than the hub. Same thing
    Tried to restore, per the error message's direction. It says it has restored it to factory settings, then it brings up that message again.
    I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. Same thing. It was playing fine but it needs re-charging now and it won't because of the error.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I don't know what to do now.
    Thanks.

    Try to reset your iPod using the recovery mode as described in this support article
    However, this will erase the iPod completely. If you have an iTunes-backup on your computer you can restore your iPod settings later from the backup.
    I have never tried this in WIndows, however. The procedure might be slightly differeent.
