Why did I buy this iPod!!! Help Please!

So I bought an iPod, recieved today, about a week ago I tried to install iTunes to get all my music organized for it and have not gotten anything accomplished in a week.
My Situation:
1. Tried every fix I could on this forum, short of re-installing Win Xp Pro all together, this includes...
a. Setting the appropriate admin rights.
b. doing every step of the "all-steps in one" post
c. trying to trick my comp. doing the "run as.." trick
d. trying to install standalones of quictime, itunes, bonjour
e. now I have an iPod set-up CD, still get the same problem
I always get a silent exit at Publishing Product Info on Quicktime, iTunes, iPod Setup, and Bonjour
I have done everything short of what will be my final step which is burning all my music onto a couple of DVDs and reformatting my HD and re-installing windows. This would take another week. Someone please put a light at the end of my tunnel before I put this iPod back on ebay where I got it from.

Well it is complete!!! YAY!!
B, I did try zahni's(sp?) approach... no luck.
Toonz, I had the same issue witht he stand alone of Quicktime, and I am running the current ole32.dll that was mentioned in previous posts.
But all that aside, I have successfully installed both Quictime 7 and Itunes 5.0.1, unfortunately it took me about 5-6 hours to do so, LOL.
I have sdone almost everything in this forum and finally decided to give up and uninstall SP@, and it WORKED. Everything is installed and working and wonderful. WARNING: Hopefully it stays that way I have not yet re-installed SP2. That aside I am running iTunes 5.0.1 on XP Pro without, yes without, SP2. Technically that shouldn't work I don't think, because I thought iTunes for windows required SP2. Anyway, I have a iPod and a working software interface for it so I am happy for now...
On to re-installing SP2 with my fingers crossed.
Once again thanks for all you guys help and tons of it. So guinea pig or not, uninstalling SP2 worked for me.
Cheers

Help anywhere, why did I buy this

This turned all my word files into something with an Adobe icon, when I try to open I get a message that Adobe can not open because it is an unsupported file or an e mail that was not properly decoded.

I believe those are Microsoft Works files. Are you saying that those files now have a PDF icon (which would indicate that Windows thinks they're PDFs)? If so, you should be able to change Windows' association to the filename extension (.wps) so it understands that those are not PDF files. Here are instructions from Microsoft for doing that in Windows XP: How to change or select which program starts when you double-click a file in Windows XP (the steps should be similar for other versions of Windows.)
There may be something else going on on your system, but the ExportPDF online service wouldn't have automatically changed your filename extensions.
Please let me know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

After finally downloading my MiniDV tapes to iMovie 10.0.6 (Yosemite), I see that there is no iDVD (why did I buy a new Superdrive for my new MacMini). So, can I buy an old iLife 9 and expect it to load to the new machine. This is NOT progress!!

Hello!
They're still being sold in some places: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dsoftware&field-keywo rds=ilife+09&sprefix=iLife+09%2Caps%2C194&rh=n%3A229534%2Ck%3Ailife+09
However, do you absolutely NEED iDVD? There are alternatives, like Burn (free): http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/
I suggest you try it out since it's free. Maybe it'll be enough.

Why did I buy Nokia ??? Its height of testing a cu...

On 18.05.2011 I had given my nokia C6 to the shop from where I had purchased as my new phone was not functioning and its been 12 days since then that Nokia is unable to do anything about the situation. Although the manager Mr.. Aniruddha of the Kalighat Nokia care centre in Kolkata has been extremely polite in helping me out. But my unfortunate phone after being sent miles for some inspection has only reached the Nokia Care Centre only last Friday.
I am just cursing myself that why did I buy Nokia? Can someone do something please ?
Rest of the story goes below:
I am from Kolkata in India and on 01.05.2011 I had purchased a Nokia C6 from South City Mall's Shopper Stop Nokia mobile counter. The phone started giving problems from day 3 but since I was traveling for 16 days I was unable to get it to the same shop. Today on 18th May when I went they told the phone will be sent to service centre and will be returned to me after 25 days. And that too after very rude behaviour of the salesperson. This is ridiculous.
So, I paid for a phone from the Nokia stable and I am unable to use it for more than a month as Nokia would do research on the handset. I have always purchased Nokia handset and ever since mobile services where launched in India. This is the worst experience did not expect this from Nokia. Very bad after sales service.
The problems with the C6 handsets are : software hanging, touch does not work and keyboard not functioning.
MODERATOR'S NOTE:

Solved!
Go to Solution.

That's pretty standard, my N97 took about 3 weeks to be returned, hope your C6 works well now, in past experience, how long do other phone manusacturers take to repair a phone ? Just wonder as I only have lomited expeience of one problem with a Nokia, so can't judge whether they are slower or quicker than other phone manufacturers at repairs ?

Why did I get this stupid email, because my banking dates are the same as before and creditcard is everytime paying ??????? So what's going on?

Hi. I checked on the order and it says the order is currently being processed and I should check back tomorrow. I'm mostly just concerned because I got an email saying the order was on hold, and I want to make sure it actually does go through and I'm not just waiting for a delivery that's not going to come. I'm still confused as to why I'd get an email saying I had to call the fraud department only to be told I shouldn't have called the fraud department.

Why did I buy an 2.7 Ghg I5?

Why did I buy an 2.7 Ghg I5? What does it do that the regular one doesn't?

While you may not use graphics-intense programs today, as technology goes forward in the future, you'll have a better video system that can handle more intense web video's or web site animations or programs you may run.
And having a little faster CPU will help keep the performance up as programs get more complex over time.
So, I'd suggest while you may not use the full capability of your iMac today, it will serve you well over time.

Why did I trust this computer?

Apple and iTunes,
Why did I trust this computer for iPod touch?

Had the same "Trust" message pop up on my iPhone 4S. Also wouldn't appear in iTunes. In Windows Device Manager I noticed that the iPhone wasn't appearing in the USB section (should show it as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver"). That suggests the driver isn't loading or got corrupted. This link walks you through how to find and install the driver:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Scroll down to the section that talks about "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed". Took all of 2 minutes. Bingo.

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

When I tried to open my Mail app this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in

When I tried to open my Mail app on my IPhone this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook. I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox. Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in?

It sounds like instead of opening your Mail App, you actually opened your Settings App, and were somehow in the 'Add Account' section of Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
Close the apps, and then reopen just the Mail App.

I have a problem: every time when i want to download free apple applications in the apple store, apple store asks me which type of credit card i want to use. Why did it ask this question?

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.
To create an Apple account without a credit card see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

Cannot download a TV episode "you did not buy this" error message

I have received two new episodes of programs that I purchased, and tonight when I tried to download, both shows gave me an error message that said "you did not buy this. You cannot download."
But I DID buy this! I've bought these two shows for more than a season!
I had an earlier error message that these shows could not download at this time, in the morning. During the day I shut down the computer completely, and rebooted this evening . . . . . to get this new error message.
Any ideas?

Why should i buy an ipod classic 120GB??? Help me please

I need to make a decision today.
Tell me why i should buy one.
My only worry is that the Classic has a hard drive, and we all know hard drives can crash.
Are there any problems that are common i should know about??
Thankyou for your help

I am sorry to hear that your experience has been so bad with your iPod. As I said, there are some annoyances - some people may be more bothered by them than others. And of course, losing ones music (more than once) is a major deal.
One note concerning one of your complaints - the low volume. Since you mentioned you paid Euros, I would have to guess that it was purchased in the EU. Apple was sued over the maximum volume several years ago by the French government which ultimately resulted in the EU regulating maximum volume in all MP3 players. Units purchased in the US do not suffer from this issue (as my ringing ears can attest to on more than one occasion). And I actually reduce the gain on all of my albums to reduce the distortion that current record producers introduce into the music with over-compression.
The one issue I wholeheartedly agree with you on is the pausing. Though to me it is nothing more than an annoyance (and it happens only rarely), I can see how it would REALLY bother someone. As far as other players are concerned, I've had issues with those as well - a SanDisk device that suddenly decided to show duplicates of all of my songs. Of course, the SanDisk did not cost nearly as much as my iPod.
Are iPods either the best or the worst of the MP3 players on the market. I can't say as I have not done the research. I agree though, that there is plenty of room for improvement.

My ipod basically restored itself and all i did was reset it! HELP PLEASE!

okay, im so aggrivated right now. this is the SECOND time my ipod does this! UGH!
so what happened was that my ipod froze. no big deal, it freezes every now and then. so i reset it, by pressing the sleep and home buttons and sliding the power off thingy, ive done this before. but for some reason this time when my ipod came back on, it gave me the screen that appears when you first get an ipod touch, you know, the itunes symbol with the cord pointing to it. so i plugged it into itunes, and it says that it has detected an ipod in 'recovery mode' and that i need to restore it, but if i resore it i lose EVERYTHING. and i sync manually, so itll take like a day to click and drag all my songs, and reinstall all my apps. ill restore it if i have to, but i just dont understand why this happened. and its the SECOND time! a while back, all i did was plug my ipod to itunes, nothing different, and it came up with ZERO songs, and ZERO videos. but everything else was there!
so what do i do? this isnt something that should happen. do you guys think i should contact apple? is there something THEY can do? should i restore it? please help!
btw, thank you if you actually read this whole ramble.

okay so i restored my ipod, and reinstalled the apps. except for etchasketch, which said it encountered an error. but all my music is gone. ill resync that manually tomorrow because itll take a while. thank your for replying. but i dont think that the apple support wouldve done anything because my itouch is way older than 90 days. i got it for christmas last year but my parents had bought it in early december. but everythings fine now, i just REALLY dont want this to happen again!!
oh and maybe it wont because i had just bought a new app, and just installed it when it froze, so maybe something was corrupted. thanks for the help.
