Updating multiple ipods.Why does it have to download each time?

Hi,
I have 3 ipod touches, mine, and one for each of my sons.
Why is it that when apple comes up with an update like 2.2.1 I have to download it 3 times to update the 3 ipods? I should be able to download the update 1 time and then update all 3 ipods. It is a pain having to download the same file 3 times...
Any idea about this? Am I doing something wrong?
Please help

You're doing this via iTunes, right? Which is set up to download and upgrade the firmware/software on the attached device in one operation. However, if you download the firmware/software directly you only need to do it once - the following link shows how you do this on a PC :

If you download the software/firmware directly from the Apple website instead of via iTunes, you will get one item only which you then apply yourself to each device in turn.

Why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view videos

why does mac have to download adobe flash player to view video clips?

If you have a new-ish Mac or one you just upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, Adobe Flash Player is not installed by default. Since some web content is created specifically to be seen only with Adobe Flash Player, if you want to see that content, you need to install it.
It's trivial to do so. Start here:

Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint 2010 Library

Hello guys,
I'm facing some design issue with sharepoint 2010 and Microsoft office, hope you can help me to fix this.
Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint Library when I'm already authenticated via the browser?
Please help me to skip this authentication when i try to open office documents from sharepoint library.
Thanks

Hi Jeyaraman, in addition to Alex's solution, check the following browser settings:
Make sure “Enable protected mode” in security tab & “Require server verification” in “sites” area are unchecked. In “Custom level,” choose “Automatic logon” way at the bottom.

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
Given:
1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
I love this forum...thank you again!

Why does the Reminders app crash each time I try to open it on my iPad 2?

At one point, a few weeks ago, I was able to use my Reminders app on my iPad 2, fairly close to perfect. Now, since then, each time I open the app, it freezes or does not allow men to complete reminders or add new ones. If I close the app from Multitasking and try to reopen, it just opens the app but it is blank. What is happening and why does it keep crashing? I like the app to set reminders for upcoming bills but the app seems useless right now until I figure out to make it stop crashing on me. Thank you!

I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4 (running 6.0.1 (10A523)). I have rebooted several times since this started occurring but it doesn't change the behavior. It was also reporting a "storage almost full" error quite often when I still have 1GB - 3GB of free space. As a troubleshooting exercise I removed all my music so there is now 20.1GB free. The storage warning no longer appears but the same issue still persists with reminders. Help, please!

Why do I have to click each time in the "TO" bar to add an additional email address? Before 4.0, I could keep typing and adding more addresses.

When typing people to send my email to, I have ALWAYS been able to start typing and the address pops up, so I select it, then I can start another, and so on. NOW I can only start typing and select ONE email. The cursor is no where to be found and I can only add more email addresses by clicking EACH time in the address bar. HATE THIS!!!!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Why do I have to download every time? I need it in order to open strayer university's home page!

In order for me to open strayer university's home page, I have to down load firefox. Can I keep it as a home page or something so that I don't have to redownload again.

I limit on how to gift money has no correlation to the player being bad. Ipods remain the most user friendly devices available. I looked at most before purchasing one myself.
Don't know what the issue is with getting a gift card at a store. I have always made iTunes purchases from a balance created by entering the cards. That way I keep my spending down to what I can afford instead of charging.

Firefox won't let me update. It tells me I have to reboot each time to finish a earlier update. I tried three times.

When I try to update a popup screen tells me that I need to reboot to complete a previous update. I have rebooted three times and keep getting the same message.

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

Why does Lightroom Require Admin password each time I open it?

Hi,
Just joined the community and downloaded Photoshop as Admin.
I then enter my non-admin user (same PC).
Photoshop works fine - I open it no problem.
Ligghtroom, which I had downloaded a trial version a copule of weeks ago, required me to always enter the Admin pw every time - annoying.
Does anyone know how to stop this happening?
Many thanks, Dave

Dave if you create a new Standard account do you face the same password request? Is your computer remotely managed?
I don't believe reinstall Photoshop Lightroom will change the behavior. If you do wish to reinstall though then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html if you face any difficulties with reinstalling Photoshop Lightroom through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

Why do I have to resend each time I want to refresh on some websites?

When I try to refresh on pages such as AuctionSniper I get this msg.
To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.
How do Iget it to go away and just do the refresh

Why does itunes have me logging in multiple times to buy a song? I can access everything else fine, but now my account is disabled for some reason although my password was entered correctly... help

I've seen a couple of other threads over the last 10 minutes posting similar problems, so it appears to have affected other people as well - the poster on the first thread has now posted again saying that it's now working for him, so you could give it another try.

Does the device show up in Windows Explorer when connected?
Have you tried going into Control Panel > Programs & Features > iTunes > Repair?
Have you proved the cable with a different device, or the device's connectivity with a different computer?

HT1338 Why can't I update my iPad iso 4.2 version? I go to setting and it does not have it like it should. Why does apple have to make things so freaking hard! Help!

Why can't I update my iPad iso 4.2 version? I go to setting and it does not have it like it should. Why does apple have to make things so freaking hard! Help!

If you have an original iPad 1, the latest version of iOS it can run is iOS 5. So you should be able to update no problem.
Update iTunes to the latest version (11.0.2). Then simply plug your iPad into the computer and open iTunes. Click the iPad either in the sidebar or the top navigation bar. Then attempt to update the software. If it doesn't work, please post the exact error message.
Note that it would be wise to first ensure you back up the iPad.
