Updating software on one computer but register/library on another one?
I just purchased a new Nano and, having dial up internet at the house and having just seen my kids setting up their new Nano's this Christmas, I expect to spend the next few days downloading and updating the software on this Nano(Why doesn't it come with updated software is another question). But I was wondering, can I use a computer (with iTunes) at work that has a very fast connection to update the software on the Nano but NOT register it on this work computer?
You don't need to register an iPod for it to work and you can use it on multiple computers so you can use your work computer any time you want to update it. If you choose to register it, once that's done you won't be required to register it again on another computer. One thing you need to be aware of though is that if you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

My ipod is showing as corrupt on one computer but not corrupt on another computer
My ipod (5th gen classic) was working fine. I connected it to my desktop where i store my library but it showed as corrupt. I restored it as per suggestion but it still says it is corrupt. When I connect the same ipod to my laptop itunes recognizes the ipod and asks me to go through the new ipod set up steps. Why is one computer saying ipod is corrupt and the other computer is not?
I have tried bypassing the usb hub on my desktop and connecting directly to the usb card, but that did not work. I also went through the 5 R's twice but still does not work.
I also tried changing the drive letter for the ipod as per another article I found on line but that also does not work.
I could use my laptop if I could import my music from my media server to the itunes library on my laptop but itunes does not recognize the media server as a disk location. My music appears under Shared...but cant sync shared to my ipod (at least I don't think i can).
If anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks.So you are plugging your iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port that is directly located on your PC's motherboard?
My suspicison is that is somesort of driver or software conflicts with iTunes your iPod that is causing iTunes to not properly recognize the device. Have you tried removing and re-installing all Apple related software? Use the instructions in this article to walk you through the process.
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
There is a link in that same article in case you have Windows Vista or 7.
It wouldn't hurt to also check and make sure all the BIOS, firmware, drivers, and chipsets are up do date on your system.

How to synchronise a calendar on one computer and the music on another one
As I don't want to import my music on the business computer, I'm wondering if it is possible to synchronise a calendar on one computer (business) and the music on another one (private) ? Does anyone have an answer ? I tried with itunes homesharing but everytime i try to synchronise only the calendar, it deletes all my music on my iphone.
Turn home sharing off & uncheck content like music, videos & apps on the computer you only want to sync your calendar with. You can sync your contacts & calendars with multiple computers, content like music with only one.

Labview program works on one computer, but doesn't on another.
We have a laptop running a custom data aquisition program that was made with labview by an external company. It communicates via ethernet with a box full of national instruments hardware that is connected to some sensors. While it works fine on the laptop, attempts to install the software on other computers results in the following error message "An error occured while attempting to open the configuration file "C:\program files\(name of the program)\data\(name of our company)fieldpoint.iak"". This error occurs whenever we try to open the test settings page or run a test. I've checked that directory and the file is in fact there.
The new computers (we've tried several) always have difficulty connecting to the hardware via ethernet, and if you look at the network activity in windows you can see a whole bunch of packets being sent but only a few if any being recieved. I'm wondering if this is a network configuration problem? I've tried to match as many settings as I can find but to no avail.
The company that made the software isn't responding to emails.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.I suspect that the problem you have communicating with the equipment is a configuration issue. You mentioned you see lots of packets going out but nothing coming back. Are the packets going out being sent to the correct IP Address?
I am not sure why you are not seeing the file since you say it is there. When you installed this application did you use their installer or simply copy things over to the other computer. There may be registry settings that are not there if you simply copied it. Also, there may be other support files that are not present on the other computer. You may also want to check the permissions on the files too. You will get an error if you try to open a file with the wrong permissions and this error is not always clear about what the issue is.

Mac Mail is fine on Lion but on the Snow Leopard computer its rejecting the password - been absolutley fine up until today?
Any ideas?
SteveYou have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

My MacBook Pro that is running on Mac OS X 10.6.8 won't update software that I need in order to download the newest iTunes software to connect to my iPhone 6. Problem is that when I go to update, it restarts the computer but never updates any of the software.
In addition to Stedman's spot-on reply --
When you buy an upgrade disk, all updates in that OS can be found on Software Update.
For instance, I bought Snow Leopard at 10.6.
All other updates have been free and downloadable. So I'm not a 10.6.7.
10.4 (Tiger) went to 10.4.11.
10.5 (Leopard) went to 1.5.8
10.6(Snow Leopard) is currently at 10.6.7.
Now, when Lion come out (the next major upgrade of OSX), I will have to pay to go to 10.7.
After that, updates are free til 10.8 comes out. -
Songs playing on one computer, but not on others.
I use my iPod on three different computers (Home/Work/brand new laptop). I recently upgraded my iPod from original 80gb to new Classic 160gb. Before I purchased my new iPod, I transferred my whole library (about 50gb)from my iPod onto my new laptop(using transfer software). Then when I purchased my new iPod I synced the whole library to the iPod. The problem is that when ever I connect my iPod to my work or home PC some songs have an exclamation mark next to them (and they don't play). So when I went to replace the "exclamation marked" songs from the laptop (where the whole library exist), I had NO exclamation marks. So my question is why do the songs play on one computer but not the others? Please help!

I have windows. One computer but multi users. Home sharing is on. 2 apple accounts-1 per user. 4 devices-2 iphones and 2 ipods per user. How can we share music on one computer between 2 users?
Hi Justinece, I've solved the problem in this way:
In my wife user profile I've set in itunes settings/advanced the path to my music library: /Users/"MY NAME"/Music/iTunes/Itunes media.
Than, from my wife profile using my administrator user and password I've set the "read/write" privileges on the above mentioned folder.
Finally I've added the folder in my wife's library taking care to not duplicate it ( leave blank the flag in itunes setting/advanced).
I really don't understand what's the use of home sharing... -
i have my iphone set up with itunes on one computer, but i recently bought my own computer. How do I set up my iphone with the new itunes account? It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer. -

"printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)
printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)
This is pretty common to see when your firewall kicks in and blocks certain communication paths the printer takes.
Here's a list of ports and programs that when allowed through the firewall, will restore communiction.
Ports to open:
UDP ports: 427, 161, 139
TCP ports: 9200, 9220, 9290, 9500
Programs to allow:
hpiscnapp.exe
hpoews01.exe
hpofxm08.exe
hposfx08.exe
hposid01.exe
hpqkygrp.exe
hpqste08.exe
hpqtra08.exe
hpznui01.exe
hpzwiz01.exe
SLP_Service (also known as UDP 427)
Have your security software provider walk you through allowing these items through your firewall.
If this does not fix your issue, it is most likely an issue with the driver configuration. Your router may have assisgned the printer a new IP address and this can be changed in the properties of the existing driver. -
I have to move desks and computers a lot at work. Today I bought $30 worth of music on one computer - but now I am sitting at a new desk and computer and can't find my music. Don't tell me to make sure I log on and off....i do! So where is my music?
The music you purchased is probably in our profile directory on the computer where you purchased it. Unless your IT department has the computers setup to use "roaming profiles" your "My Music" folder will be stored locally on each computer. I don't know of too many companies that use "roaming profiles" as they tend to cause about as many problems as they were designed to "fix". If you are going to be moving to many different computers, I suggest that you consider moving your iTunes Library to an external drive that you move with you. This way your purchased content is stored on your external drive and not on the local drive of the PC you are using at the time of the purchase.
