TS1538 I have an iPod Touch IOS 4.2.1 that Windows 7 home premium can't see.  Says there's a driver problem.  My other one with IOS 5.1.1 works on the same cable and computer. I don't know where to go.

I have an iPod Touch with 4.2.1 that won't connect to my Windows 7 Home Premium laptop.  It gives a "USB Device Not Recognized" error when I plug it in to a USB port.  My wife's (newer) iPod Touch with IOS 5.1.1 works just fine with no errors.  I'm using the same port - I just moved the cable from one iPod to the other. I've tried the various different drivers using Update Drivers.  I let it search the internet and it says "The best driver software is already installed", but the device shows as "Unknown Device".  I did the browse my computer, unchecked the "Show compatible hardware", and selected Apple, Inc..  There were two Apple iPod USB Drivers.  One was 6.0.9999.53 and the other was 6.0.9999.61.  Neither of these works.  I'm thinking that the maybe I need to upgrade the iPod touch software version - but I don't know how to get to it.  Can this be loaded over WiFi?  Any other ideas?

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

    Your camera roll photos - the pictures that you take with the iPad camera or saved from websites are stored in the iPad backup. You will not see them anywhere on your computer unless you import them to the PC from the iPad.
    You cannot see what is stored in the iPad backup on your PC. It doesn't work that way. This explains iTunes backups - what is backed up and where the backup file is stored on the computer. It may be a little different in Windows 8. now.

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

  • TS1538 I have 2 ipod touches. One syncs just fine, the other is not recognized by itunes.  I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, reset the ipod touch to factory settings. Itunes still doesnt recognize one of my ipod touches

    I have 2 ipod touches. One of the syncs with itunes just fine. The other isnt recognized by itunes. I reset the ipod to factory settings,and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, still no recognition.

    - Do you have the latest version of iTunes on the computer? iOS 6 requires 10.5 or later. The current is 10.6.3
    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - You could try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore the iPod. However, if you can't restore the iPod or use this program to get the iPod out of recovery mode
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    you will lose use of the iPod.

  • Multiple users working in the same document and same time.

    Hello Guys,
    and thanks for looking into this
    At our company we're still in doubt wether or not to update our software to CC or just update to CS6. Currently we all have different versions (going from CS3 to CS5), and that's really time-consuming.
    The most important question would be if it is possible in the CC to work in the same file at the same time.
    Working on magazines, catalogues or books this would be a major time-saving option!
    For example I could work on chapter 1 and 6, whilst my collegues are working on the other chapters.
    The other users could then see how far I am on my chapters, change things (make notes) etc.
    Is this possible in CC or not?
    Thanks for your answers and time.
    Best regards,
    Sam
    PS: If there are major setbacks working on the cloud (between multiple users/computers) please let us know.

    Let me attempt an answer.
    Short answer, no. Multiple users cannot edit a the same file at the same time.
    You'll need a content management system, to enable check in/check out, prevent overwrites etc. But (there's always a but), Creative Cloud offers several workflows and tools that can be used to help streamline multi-user publication workflows.
    Using Creative Cloud will ensure that all users will be on the same version of the software, and there won't be any accidental lockouts due to format changes, and no need to run arounf to get the document downsaved. All users also have access to the latest features as soon as they become availble.
    For products, such as books and magazines: InDesign needs to be the primary software that you use. When you design the content architecture of your publication, you can employ the following techniques and tools:
    Break up your publications into several INDD files, let's say for file for each story.
    Compile the individual files into an InDesign book.
    Link Ps and Ai or other files when you place them in the InDesign layout. That way whenever a designer updates an asset, InDesign will notify you that a linked file has changed and you can choose to update the link.
    InCopy was recently added to the Creative Cloud. Authors can can edit stories without actually having to open the InDesign files. For details see the InCopy help. InCopy has several workflows that can help out in this kind of setup.
    Other than the Creative Cloud apps, you'll also need to setup folder and directory structures on the shared storage location.
    Setup a shared location/drive so that all users have access to the linked files.
    Control read/write access to individual files using the OS commands on the file directory/server. For example, Layout designers only have edit permissions on the layout (indd files); while Photographers can only edit .psd files, and so on. For small teams this might not be necessary, but for larger teams this may help.
    You could also consider storing your files using a Content Management System. You'll need to evaluate the cost and benefits properly.
    Hope this helps.

  • I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

    Hey guys,
    I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

    Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
    Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
    Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
    iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

  • Ever since downloading and opening Firefox 4 beta, when I try to launch 3.6.8, I get an error message saying that Firefox is already running; it is not. I have removed 4.0 beta from the computer, but don't know where else to look for any bits and pieces.

    I need to restart the computer in order to launch FF 3.6.8. Also, in Dreamweaver CS5, I have defined FF 3.6.8 as my default browser, but when I try to view a page in FF, I get the same message that FF is already running. Where else do I need to look to find hidden files that are causing this?

    Did you uninstall the Firefox 4.0 beta version ?
    If you did then did you remove the personal data or otherwise removed to Firefox profile folder ?
    Make sure that you still have a (default) Firefox profile folder.<br />

    I tried to update my 4s to the latest ios6. itunes came back and said there was an unexpected error. the screen on the phone is hung showing a usb cable and an arrow pointing to the itunes icon. itunes does not see the phone as being plugged into my computer. I restarted itunes, no difference. I can't seem to reset the phone. It comes up with the apple icon and then goes back to the usb plug screen. I'm totally hosed right now!!!

    Error 1604:
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • I have an ipad2 and logic pro 9 but my iPads GarageBand exports but 1. Logic cannot find it and the files are hidden so I don't know where they are ,  I've looked all over my iTunes structure which is easy since I just installed everything and it's empty

    So yea title says it all
    Logic doesn't see the GarageBand files and neither do I .... So I reattempt saving it and my iPad sees the files there so .... They're there
    But you shouldn't need GarageBand to access it on my Mac IF I OWN LOGIC PRO

    Hi
    With your iPad connected, open iTunes & select the iPad
    Select the Apps tab, and scroll down to File Sharing.
    Select the GB songs you wish to get onto the Mac and click "Save to"
    By default, these seem to go to <User> Documents, but you could save them anywhere (Check where you setup is saving them).
    Open Logic, and then File:Open
    Navigate to wherever you saved your GB songs to, and select one. Open it
    Logic prompts you to save this new project somewhere... done.
