When attempting to install ios5 iTunes starts to backup the iPod but the back doesn't finish and the progress bar keeps moving left to right, any ideas why please?

When attempting to install ios5 on my iPod touch , iTunes starts to backup but doesn't get anywhere and the progress bar just keeps going from left to right, any ideas please as to what I can do? Thanks

Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to your computer.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try again.
If that didn't help, try restarting the AMDS > iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    Lyall,
    I have seen this before, a long time ago (several years), and I cannot
    remember how/if we resolved it.
    If this is an impotant issue to you, I suggest that you open a case with
    BEA support.
    Regards,
    Peter.

    This is a rather important issue, I have seen another post with a similar problem.
    While not being a show-stopper it certainly raises concerns.
    The application works ok until the application exits (in both development and
    executable form)
    Apparently this did not happen with Tux 7.1
    It does with 8, I do not have 7.1 so I have no workaround.

  • When I try to format an external usb drive  the progress bar only goes half way then freezes up can anybody help please

    When I try to format an external usb drive  the progress bar gets to half way then freezes , or stops and  what ever time I allow it never gets any futher on , I have to go to the task bar and click quit  to get on  and the usb drive is not formatted  is there a fault with my disk utility program  I have updated the system
    to lion 10.7.2
    Can anybody advise please

    Are these new external drives? How are the currently formatted? Have you tried doing this:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

    when i try to sign in itunes tells me my apple id has not been used before and to review account but get directed to a set up apple id page.  any ideas why please

    Could it be that you are using your account on more than 10 devices? Or that more than 10 devices are still connected to your account?

  • My itunes no longer has the 'internet' tab for free streaming radio.  Any ideas how to get it back?

    I recently downloaded the itunes program to a new computer with Windows 7 and I notice that the 'internet' tab feature is missing from the icons.  The internet feature allowed you to browse all the different types of music, talk radio, etc. online and free stream.  I still have it available on my old Windows XP professional computer, however.
    Anyone know how to get that feature on the Windows 7?

    I actually found the answer to this in another discussion!  Thanks anyway!

    Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

  • My Mac keeps crashing (whole system) when I'm watching videos with Firefox, any idea why?

    Ok so I got a new mac and as usual install firefox which is my favorite browser, suddenly my computer started crashing, not just firefox the whole system froze and I had to reboot to make it work again, I didn't know what was happening until I noticed that said crashes happen when I was watching videos on firefox, I tried to use chrome and the issue was gone. So anyone has any idea why this is happening? I really would love to start using firefox again!

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
    If this does not fix the issue, you may need to reinstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer.

  • Itunes 11 sorts album under different artists name in the artist view - any idea why?

    I have just be kindly given the Maroon 5 Holiday gift via 12 days (thanks iTunes).  I also have their album 'songs about Jane' and a track from a Rihanna album which is a Maroon 5 track featuring Rihanna but issued on the Rihanna album.
    When sorted by Album the Maroon 5 albums and Rihanna track are sorted together under Maroon 5.
    However, when sorted by Artist the artist for the Album 'Songs about Jane' is being shown as Rihanna (?) but when I check the 'Get Info' data Maroon 5 are clearly shown as the Album Artist.  The holiday gift and the Rihanna track are shown under the artist Maroon 5.
    Wierd ... any ideas why and how to correct?

    Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

    Are you using WiFi? if you are this will take a long time, switching to a wired connection will go much faster but as you have started I would not change now.

  • When sending email from my Mac, Word documents do not send correctly. The recipient cannot open them. Any idea why???

    I have been dealing with this forever. No matter what format I save a Word document in (.doc .docx or whatever else), the recipient (microsoft user) is still not able to open the file in word. Does anyone have any idea why? It's driving me a little nuts.

    Right, I may have misunderstood what you meant by download to desktop. When I click the attachment, I can either "Open with: Text Edit (drop-down menu)" or Save. But save doesn't save to desktop. I can "Open with: Microsoft Word" fine.
    When I compose an email, I click attach. I select the file that is in a .docx format. It appears to load to the email correctly, and if I click that extension, it opens correctly in Word out of the pre-sent email. After being sent, it appears in god knows what format and wishes to open from TextEdit.
    Was I doing something wrong when you wanted me to download to desktop?
