Windows or Mac ? How to check this out ??

HI,
I just restored for the third time my new IPod. I use a G4 and my Ipod was always ejecting itself without me doing anything. I phoned the Apple people and they told me it was because my Ipod was set up for Windows.
Now the question is: How can I checked if it is now set up for my Mac without having to restore it again ??? I have a 30GB fifth generation color IPod.
Thanks

On your iPod, go to Settings>About. If you see a serial number then it's Mac formatted. "iPod: How to determine your iPod's disk format" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61672

    After renaming my MAC hard drive, Acrobat, Illustrator and Bridge fail to launch. Acrobat returns the error message "An internal error occurred". I've checked this out and it seems related to user permissions. The version is Acrobat X. My machine has multiple user accounts. Any help would be appreciated. I renamed the drive to its original name but to no effect. RR

    I resolved the issue.
    The problem is indeed a permissions issue with the Adobe Application Support folder.
    First, in MAC OS Lion the ~/Library/ folder is hidden by default. You must unhide it in order to proceed. (if it is already visible in your ~/User/ folder, proceed to Step 4.)
    Next launch the Terminal application.
    At the command line, paste the following command line: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    Go to /Users/youruserid/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Get info on the ~/Adobe folder and reset your permissions to read/write and apply to all enclosed folders
    Problem solved. RR

  • I submitted my podcast and I got an email saying error, I checked with the feed validator and got this message: This feed does not validate. line 40, column 6: Undefined item element: itunes:order, how do sort this out, someone help me please.

    Ignore it. 'itunes:order' is a recent addition which FeedValidator doesn't know about. If your podcast is rejected that is unlikely to be the reason. Of course as you haven't posted the feed URL nor the text of the error message I can't make any further comment.

  • Email virus that says check this out

  • Hey guys check this out!!

    I though that Tiger was only able to run in apples pcs I guess not....this is crazy.
    Check this out http://os-emulation.net/pearpc/web/tiger.html I have never seen this before Have you guys?

    PearPC is a Mac emulator. It creates a virtual Mac on the Windows box, similar to (but the opposite of) Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac.
    I'd guess it's slow and unreliable, but certainly possible.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • HT4623 how to sort this out?

    I have just tried to update my iphone 4 to ios 7, but I am at at friends  place and therefore their itunes wont reognise my iphone, any advice on  how to sort this out?

    I would not risk doing a major iOS update on another person's computer. You are going to want to make sure you have a backup of your device as well as access to your iTunes to resync apps and other data. If something went wrong at the friend's, you could risk losing all of your data and not being able to restore to a backup.

  • I THINK SOMETHING HAS ENTERED MY E-MAIL AND TAKING ADDRESSES. hOW TO i CHECK THIS OUT?

    I'm getting e-mails that look like they are from some one in my address book but are not. A check of the source shows that isis not from the legitimate member of my address book.
    Just now I attempted to reply to an e-mail and got a blacked out dialogue box with a strange message at the top, sometimes in what looks like Asian calligraphy. Now, when I open an e-mail the dialogue box opens, closes and opens a second time in a blink of an eye. How do I find out what it is and get rid of it. My anti virus does not pick up a problem.

    If email is not from who it is pretending to be from - do not repond to it. Do not click on any links in the email. Delete the email. then compact the folder to remove all traces.
    Send an email to your friend teling them someone is abusing their email address. Ask them to use a signature in their emails so you can easily tell it is genuine.

  • Windows Internal Database on Windows Server 2012 - How can I find out what role or feature is using it?

    We have setup many roles and features and apparently one of them is using the Windows Internal Database (WID). We have had some events logged for WID and need to troubleshoot them. But we are not sure which role/feature is using it. How can I find
    this out?

    Hi,
    Several components of Windows Server 2008 and 2012 use Windows Internal Database for their data storage: Active Directory Rights Management Services, Windows System Resource Manager, UDDI Services, Active Directory Federation Services 2.0, IPAM and Windows
    SharePoint Services.
    Which role did you setup or what is the error message did you received？

    If you have two CD inside the drive, I suspect you've got to take your machine to Apple store. But how come you've got both CD inside the drive? I never encounter a problem like this one before.

  • Email attachments coming as winmail.dat - how to sort this out permanently?

    Since I upgraded to Office 2007 at work, any email received from there that has an attachment is named winmail.dat and will not open. Upgrading my work PC is NOT an option, but I'd like my Mac to be able to recognise the attachment for what it is, either a pdf, or a xls or doc file etc.
    Help!
    I've located a programme called letter opener 3.0.3, but I need some freeware please.

    Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
    Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
    You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
    Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
    1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
    2. Click the Mail Format tab.
    3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
    Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
    Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac...
