Why does it ask me to update every time??

I'm very disappointed that a product that used to work so well has gone south. I use a Dell computer, I use firewire for my iPod connection. But while iTunes used to come up automatically, it no longer recognizes my iPod. Also, every single time I plug in my iPod, it wants to update my iTunes or iPod software...and I mean every time! I update, but it makes no difference! The updates aren't even recognized the next time I dock the iPod or call up iTunes. What the heck is the matter with this thing?...this didn't happen until one of the previous updates.

Avinash, after I posted this morning, I restarted my computer, and immediately noticed a recent e-mail from Apple about iTunes 6.0, so I installed it. After I did that, I reset my iPod (I should mention I have the 15GB docking model). It seemed to be working as it should, as it recognized the iPod and allowed me to disconnect (manually) after updating (in the past, it never said it was ever ok to disconnect). Now, even though I thought it had a pretty good charge, I could not get it to turn on once off the docking station. I put it back on, so we'll see if it charges.
I have a neighbor who tells me he has to reset his similar model all the time (and he has an EE and does Computer Security for the Govt!!) Thanks for your reply and I wish you luck!
I have actually spent more time installing updates and trying to get them to work than I have listening to my iPod over the last two years.
Also, my hard disc crashed last fall, and I had to replace it, consequently, I lost my entire library when I went to update my iPod, and had to rebuild it piece by piece.
When I see how much trouble of a similar nature people in these discussions have, I have to wonder. I thought when they came out with iTunes for Windows (to sub for Musicmatch) things would go smoothly, but my friends with Mac computers say it will only ever work really well with a Mac computer.

  • Why does it ask me to register every time the application is opened?

    Why does the application manager ask me to license, or trial my software everytime that I open any of the applications? I thought it was only suppose to check every 30 days?

    Hi Leetou02,
    You're correct, it is only supposed to check every 30 days.
    You might install the latest version of the Adobe Application Manager from here:

  • Why does the EEvents message come up every time the computer is opened after being shut off?

    Why does the EEvents message come up every time the computer is opened after being shut off?

    You need to check the software you run.
    Some officially supported and sold Mac versions of software use Wine for porting in some fashion or another.  If some program you are running is spawning these Wine processes, its probably buggy and not shutting down correctly.
    How to figure out which are Wine and which are not...?
    Well if its a Cider ported game, you just see if there is a Cider logo on the game.
    If its Wineskin ported, theres no super easy way to tell, depending on how much its been modified, but you can look inside the app (right click and "Show Package Contents") and go to Contents/MacOS and see if Wineskin executable is in there.  Unless its a very old version of Wineskin it shouldn't be able to hang like that without major issues int he Windows software running in it, and I don't know any any company would release it if it was that buggy.
    If its WineBottler Ported, you'll notice quickly because it launches X11 and runs the windows under X11... of course not all X11 apps are Wine, but if you have a program that launches and runs in X11.app then you can look inside it at Contents/MacOS to see if its Wine related.
    It could also be Crossover, or a Crossover port of software... you'd have to dig around inside of its app too to see if it looked like one of those.

  • Why does Flash Player try to load every time I open a link

    Every time I open a new link Flashplayer fails to load, I don't know why it's loading anyway. Maybe for the ads About.com puts on top that I don't want and can't get rid of. I get an error screen and have to close Flashplayer. So who cares except it's a pain in the neck. Why? I am legally blind and this is hard to read

  • Why does Mozilla send two e-mail every time I send an e-mail?

    Every time I send an e-mail, I see two of the same e-mail in my sent box. Why?
    Also why does Mozilla delete my e-mails off the main server automatically? I like to do it manually.

    Is it really sending it twice or are you just seeing it two times in the sent folder? Some providers like gmail place a copy in your sent folder already so you need to go into Thunderbird settings and tell it not to do it again. Then you will only see if it once in the folder.

  • Why does pages prompt the save dialogue every time i save?

    Just like every other word editing program, I should be able to just click save or push COMMAND S to save easily without getting the Save dialogue, once I saved for the first time.
    Why does Pages insist on bringing up the Save or Save As dialogue box every time I want to save a version of the document?  Once I saved for the first time, name the file, and save it to my hard drive, I should not have to deal with this anymore, unless I specifically click Save As....  I should be able to click Save or push COMMAND S and have it save in the background as with every document editing program.
    Is there a way to change this?

    You are obviously confused in thinking that Pages is a MsWord substitute which it is not, it is its own program.
    When you export to .doc you are doing exactly that, making a copy in a different format to the one you are working in.
    TextEdit can save to .doc and Save to it as can several other applications, but none of those are MsWord either.
    If you want to work in MsWord, why not use MsWord itself?

  • Why does Lenovo Solution Center keep running every time I log back on?

    Hi all,
    Have a Thinkpad L430.
    Every time I log back into my user account on the laptop, whether from fresh boot, sleep or hibernate, within a few minutes I get interrupted by the Windows 7 User Account Control asking me if I want to allow lsc.exe to run.
    If I view details it says it is program location '"C:\Prgam Files\lenovo\lenovo solution center\lsc.exe" -updatestatus'.
    I've no problem with the machine checking for updates but a) I'd rather it did it when the daily Windows Home Server backup is running (i.e when I'm still asleep and not actively using the computer) and b) I'd like to know if there's any way to allow this program to run as admin so it doesn't keep interrupting me
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You should be able to disable it in the LSC dashboard.  I will download LSC and locate it for you. 
    *edit*  Launch LSC>Dashboard View>Edit>Drag "Updates" or any unneeded item to the right "Events not monitored" section to disable.

  • Why does CC keep reinstaling Add-ons every time I start my system?  e.g. Server Behavior

    Reinstalls every time.  As well as this irritation why is there no filter in the Add-ons site to differentiate between what's compatible with CC2014 and other add-ons built for earlier iterations of Creative Cloud.  Surely there should be?

  • Why does my Indesign program appear pixelated every time I open it?

    I have recently downloaded the Creative Suit 6 but every time I have tried to open Indesign it appears pixelated making it hard to use. Does anyone have an explination and/or solution to this problem?

    Are you referring to the resolution of placed images? InDesign has different levels of preview quality that you can select to match the speed of your machine. The default level is "Typical," which is a low resolution image preview that draws quickly but looks horrid. Any reasonably modern machine should be able to handle the High Quality Display setting without choking on most files, and you can change it from the the View menu by choosing View > Display Performance > High Quality Display, but it's probably even better to open the application prefernces and change the default setting. You can choose to leave object level dispaly performance enabled which will allow you to set the preview individually for very large images that cause a delay while working.

  • Why does my husband get e-mails every time I add an event to our shared calendar

    My husband and I share a calendar through the cloud.  Every time I add an event to our shared calendar, in addition to the event showing up on his calendar on his ipad or iphone, he gets an e-mail saying I've added an event.  How do I turn off the e-mail notices?

    as far as i understand iCal it is on the "receivers/subscribers" side to deal with email-updates (and not on the "senders/changers" side):
    snippet from my Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events? (there is a screenshot as well):
    to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

  • Why does the spinning wheel come up every time I open an application

    Every time I open an application, I get the "spinning wheel" for an extended period of time.  This is a VERY FAST computer and this slows me down terribly.
    For instance:  I just opened iTunes to sync my iPhone.  When I opened the software I got the wheel, when I tried to select my iPhone, and yet again when I tried to hit the "sync" button.  This is more than is typical, but it happens EVERY TIME I open EVERY application.
