Why am i getting an error message that my itouch is in maintenance mode?

I am trying to use I Got Chat.  I have installed this on all but one of my itouches (the whole family has one).  I have one itouch that won't save the user info (thus allowing me to use the app) because it says the device is in maitenance mode.  I have checked everything I can think of and don't see anything that might need to be reset.  I also restarted the itouch.  I also googled mainentance mode for itouch and found nothing.  On the apps support site, there was one person who had the same issue, but the company's advice didn't help me and it didn't appear that the issue was every resolved. 

First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Why am i getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when i try to update my apps in the app store

    Can someone please offer some suggestions why I am getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when I try to download or update my apps in the app store?
    Thanks!
    disregard! i noticed someone else's post about signing out of the app store and signing in again and it worked.....

    Hi ...
    Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
    Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.

  • Why do I get an error message that says "Your Apple ID is not eligible to purchase gift certificates?"

    I am trying to purchase a printable gift certificate from iTunes, and I keep getting an error message that says, "Your Apple ID is not eligible to purchase gift certificates." You can purchase gift cards from retail locations. I can't do this because I live overseas. I've tried deleting and re-adding my credit card information, and I've submitted a support ticket to ask for help. I see from my Google search that this is not an uncommon error message to have, but I can't find a solution!

    No, I am a US citizen living overseas, but I am going through a VPN and I am using a US-based credit card. I have no problem purchasing apps, just purchasing gift certificates. I'm going to try gifting the app to the person I am purchasing for until Apple straightens this out for me.

  • Why do I get an error message that my macbook pro will not accept an adobe update

    I have a Mac OS 10.9.1 and flash player version of 12.0. Now all of a sudden after latest download of adobe I get an error message that Mac OS system is not compatible with Adobe Player. Also I can"t print .pdf anymore.

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • Why do I get an error message that says "Incompatible Types"?

    I am a newbie to Java programming. I have experience with VB.
    I am using Net Beans 6.1. I was following a sample program that shows me how to use the JDBC ODBC bridge to connect to an MS-Access file.
    I get an error message at this line:
    statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
    statement was declared earlier with:
    private Connection connection;
    private Statement statement;
    private ResultSet resultSet;
    Here are my imports:
    import accessingmsdb.Page1;
    import java.beans.Statement;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.ResultSet;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import java.util.logging.Level;
    import java.util.logging.Logger;
    import javax.swing.text.html.Option;
    import java.lang.String;
    I am also getting erros on the following 2 lines (these follow the first statement above):
    statement.execute(query);
    resultSet = statement.getResultSet();
    The site that has the sample does not have a forum. Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

    statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);Probably because that driver doesn't allow you to use the mix of the two parameters that you passed.

  • Why do I get an error message that tells me I need to close the current session of Firefox. It is open somewhere and I must restart my computer to get past this. Why?

    I cannot open Firefox on my system as a message opens that tells me I must close the session that is currently running. However, I have not opened it and it doesn't show anywhere on my computer that it is open. The error message tells me that I must restart my computer which I have to do to get past this point. Then it works fine after that. I have been using Firefox for about 5 months and it has happened about 6 times now. A bit frustrating I must say. Thank you for your assistance on this matter.

    Open Task Manager and click on the Processes tab. Scroll down to "Firefox.exe" , click on that line and click on "End Process" button.

  • Why do I get an error message that says can't burn dvds or watch videos because of errors in register?  This occured after installing upgrade to 10.4

    Since updating itunes with 10.4 I get an error msg stating I can't burn CDs or put videos into itunes.  I tried repair option twice, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, same problem.  I do not have any CD/DVD burning software installed.

    I recently had to reinstall my software for a
    dell computer a dell latitude d 830, then after installing all of my software and such including itunes the player did well even record to disks with no problems now that my system has done alot of updating of system files....now the itunes does not burn to my cd...error message 2131 this time
    The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
    Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131?

  • I blog on TypePad using Word 2007 and documents freeze when I'm looking at them in Windows explorer; why do I get the error message that Mozilla is looking for a script?

    I have now had two error messages - the first one looked for this script: Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:258. The second one (today) looked for Script: resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js:68.
    I have reset my word template, also reset word registry for data and options (as per Microsoft's help pages) for both those 'fixes' there was an initial improvement, but the problem happened again after I reposted on my blog today and then went to Windows explorer to view my files. It seems to 'seize' as I select a file, so that the preview does not appear (for up to 15-20mins).
    I see on the internet using the second script as a search just now that one other has had a similar problem and one also since Mozilla 4 upgrade. My problems have also been pretty much since I upgraded.
    It happens (apart from my fixes) every time I go to look at a word document via Windows explorer. Excel files are less affected.
    One web suggestion is to clear the cache, but I am hesitant to lose all my passwords unless I have to.

    I still have the problem although I uninstalled Mozilla (clearing the cache didn't work and neither did Word diagnostics), so have ended up thinking it could be Norton (the manual update worked x1) or Windows. Today I found an answer: disable the preview pane in Windows Explorer - there's a history of problems with this view.

  • TS1424 Why would I get an error message that the file I am trying is corrupted?

    I am trying to download a song (using my laptop-Windows8) and I keep getting a message that the file is corrupted.  Advice, please?

    Travel and detours have kept me from following up sooner. If the problem that you wrote about still persists.....
    Let us go back over that Adobe document regarding troubleshooting damaged projects.
    3. Delete the Application Preferences
    Where you able to follow that path and delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file at the end of the path? And, after you did, did the saved/closed programs still refuse to open? If you could not carry out this procedure, what were the limiting factors that kept you from do
    7. Test to see if individual media files are causing the problem.
    That is an important one. How far did you get into following the instructions given in the document? If you could not complete the test, what was the major block that prevented you from doing so?
    I want to make sure that we have gone through everything in that document and ruled all factors there in or out. If it was a matter of you not understanding the instructions, I am hoping that the above will channel you questions to me so that I can clarify anything that you did not understand in the Adobe document instructions.
    I do not recall if I asked previously. Even if you cannot open all your saved/closed projects, can you still open a new project and save/close it? Maybe even reopen it?
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • Why do I get an error message that the IP address of my new Airport Extreme base station is invalid?

    I have tried several times to replace my Airport Express with Airport Extreme by following the instructions. These attempts were made with both options, Replace an Exiting Network and Create a New Network. I get to the Setup is Complete page and wait for the base station to restart. The amber light goes from solid to flashing but never turns green. After waiting several minutes I get the problem page stating that the IP address is invalid. I have powered off my computer and modem, reset the Airport Extreme and tried again witht he same result. I am now back on Airport Express to enable connection to the Internet.
    Any suggestions?

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.
