Windows/updater wont acknowledge my iPod, but will acknowledge another iPod

Hi, I just got an iPod Nano for my birthday from a friend, it had no installation disk, but was unused. I tried to install the iPod into my PC by connecting it through the USB port in the front. My windows says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance..." I tried everything that windows suggested, and it wasn't any help,i downloaded the updater(newest version was june i believe)and not even the updater would recognize it being there, it would promt me to plug it in, and when i did, it wasn't acknowledged. So i tried to piece together my own way to find out where the problem lies (its either the USB cord, the USB port, my PC, or the iPod itself). So i had a friend bring over their iPod nano, and they hooked it up to my computer through the same USB port, and to our amaze, it was acknowledged by my compter, AND the updater that i downloaded, so this elminated my problem being the port, cable, pc.
I tried to restore my iPod, and putting it into disk mode, looking at the iPod, and using it there seems no problem except using it to connect to my Pc, the only difference between our two ipods is one that worked is version 1.1 and mine is 1.0, this is becoming very frustrating, and getting through to phone support was impossible because the lines were too busy. If ANYONE can offer some advice or ways to help fix this, it would be very helpfull.
Thank you,

I am having the same exact issue with my 3rd Gen.
iPod. When i plug it in using firewire my computer
doesnt recognize it at all and it says that it is
charging. i bought a new cable. didnt work and
returned it. bought a new firewire card. didnt work.
tried the 5 R's except restoring because i cant
because i cant connect it to the computer.

software for iTunes and iPod software. any
suggestions?

TS1369 I have set up 3 ipod today and now the 4th one wont connect to itunes, but will charge from a power point

I have set up 3 ipod today and now the 4th one wont connect to itunes, but will charge from a power point

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Try another cable. I dubt it will help but do it since you have more cables
- Try another USB port
- Try on another cable. Again I doubt it will do anything
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My WINDOWS UPDATE wont work since I have FIREFOX

Can I download something so I can use my windows update?

THIS MAY BE SO but MY WINDOWS UPDATE WORKS ON MY OTHER COMPUTER.
I had computer problems on this computer when someone broke into my apartment and flooded the floor with water and then put a virus on my computer that made it connect one one website.
I am here because of NAVY INTELLIGECE , I was mentally disabled for 10 years before joining. I am in a building they made me do research on which killed my mom and dad because OLD WOMEN was getting pregnant from me who had tricked me when I was 13. They caused watergate.
The CRIMES OF THIS AREA ARE BEING INVESTIGATED AND 80 FEDERAL WARRENTS ARE GONG TO OCCUR. All of the CRIMES was connected to APRIL 8 which is the day they give money from COLORADO TAX REBATE for DISABLED PEOPLE for real estate tax. They had CRIMINALS that was using the LOCAL H AND R BLOCK in this town and had commited some murders and connected them to a place in NEW MEXICO. That is where they sent the TAX peopel from NM to FLORIDA WHERE i was living.
Now see all this APRIL 8 STUFF is connected to KEN who has 160 million who lives in FLORIDA because they could not catch the local people if they did not connect more crime and get them in too deep.
So see they wont give in, I caught some of them on my research 2 days ago dong murder and hiding it, they was COURT PEOPLE and then MORE MAFAI came, it broke in and flooded my floor and connected them up to more crime which made me have more problems.
So see I almost lost my computer and then had put FIRFOX on and it came back party and then I cant get the MICROSOFT UPDATE TO WORK.
What they was dong is CONNECTING UP THE VIRUS which was a HOME PAGE that wold not go off my computer to the BACK OF THE BUILDOINTG becasue the loca rackateers who are gong to be arrested needed to cnnect it. They put a new person here who does not know they used him for crime BECASUE CEO members purchased a NEW PRISON in NM that is privalty owend that I am gong to own with the help of intell. See thy pulled real hard on my system with the VIRUS , BROKE IN ECT AND I HAD FIREFOX AND JUST NEED MY COMPUTER WORKING, I am not allowed to work as my civial rights has been broked by the RACKATEERS.
I am disabed and wil have 89 million dollares in a minute, It has taken my over 20 years an my research is over 10 pages ttyped.
So see what I need is MY WINDOWS UPDATE TO WORK.
That APRIL 8 STUFF is Just a game where they are stealing from my property temp and we will pull it back and arrest them. They think they are gong to purchase new telephoen companies ect, When they do that it is called ESPIONAGE and they use foreign counties, That is where we arrest them becaseu we could have a nuclear war in less than ten years because of the RACKATEERS who was using me all this time who had hidden murder which I caught which are connected to the CEO who put a medial person here next door and broke in a flooded my floor and then put the viris on.

SCCM Windows Updates - Client stuck on Downloading but never finishes

I am running SCCM 2007 with 200 clients. I have been sucessfully performing windows updates through SCCM without an issue for about 6 months. Recently I approved updates released in March and most of the updates installed ok, but there are two, KB938464 and KB958690, which sit on status Downloading for hours until the desktop is switched off at night. The times reach 14 hours on some machines.
I have tried to cancel the updates by removing them from the Advertisements and from the Deployment packages but they still try to run everyday on 167 of 200 desktops. If I manually go to Windows Update and install the updates the issue goes away, however, you can imagine my unwillingness to do this across 167 stations if I can avoid it.
How can I do one or both of the following:
A) Cancel the updates so they no longer want to run on the clients
B) Fix the issue so the updates download properly.
The process that I use to approve and deploy updates:
Under Site Database -> Computer Management -> Software Updates
I select the updates I want to deploy and add them to a new update list. I place a check into the box to download the files associated to the updates.
Once the update list is built I select to deploy the updates, give it a name that represents the update period
I select a template that deploys but suppresses restart in the updates.
I select a deployment package, the same one I used for all my past updates
Download from the Internet
English
Schedule
Finish.
This has worked sucessfully for months.
Thank you for any help that can be offered.

I think you can use powershell command to modify the cache size
Here is the link: http://thephuck.com/scripts/use-powershell-to-change-sccm-cache-directory-cache-size/
$ColQuery = "select * from sms_cm_res_coll_SMS0005E"
$CollectionMembers = gwmi -computername SCCM_Server -namespace root\sms\site_SMS -Query $ColQuery |sort Name
foreach($comp in $collectionmembers){
$server = $comp.name
write-host -fore green `n`t "working on " $server
$ccmcfg = gwmi -computer $server -Namespace root\ccm\SoftMgmtAgent -Class CacheConfig
$ccmcfg.Location = "d:\path\to\cache"
$ccmcfg.Size = "2048"
$ccmcfg.Put()
#stop service, sleep for 10s, start the service

Firefox won't display an image from one directory, but will from another. IE displays both.

I have some very simple logo jpgs I want to add to www.foautah.org. I have been having a problem where IE will show the jpgs, but Firefox won't. I have narrowed it down to a very simple test and found that in a little html test page: test.foautah.org/test.html Firefox will load two images from one directory (graphics), but not from another (sponsors). The images are identical copies. IE shows both from both directories.
NEVER MIND. After wasting hours, it finally dawned on me that Adblock might be doing something. Turns out it hides anything with "sponsors" in it. Time to rename my directory. Argh!!!

hello, yes, you'd have to uninstall flash from the windows control panel in windows7 (just diabling it in firefox won't work in this case). alternatively you could run the uninstaller-tool that adobe provides on its website: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Itunes wont read my iphone but will read my ipod nano?

Neither me or my wife can get our iphones to show up on Itunes, but my ipod nano shows up just fine. I went through all of the troubleshooting process and still nothing. Can someone help, i have a 3gs and my wife a 3g.

I'm having the same problem. My iPod Classic syncs up with iTunes and charges fine, but when I plug in my wife's iPhone 3G (may be 3GS) it doesn't do anything; it doesn't charge, it doesn't mount, it doesn't show up anywhere. There's no response to either my iMac or her iPhone, as if it isn't plugged in at all.
I've tried different cords, different ports, restarted the computer, restarted the phone... ugh...
I'm using iTunes 10.4.1, Mac OS 10.6.8... I've gone through the Troubleshooting Assistant at http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/
The iPhone is charged... never had a problem before; synced it previously with no issues.

Windows XP Wont Recognise My IPOD (with Windows on Drive D?)

I have been using the my IPOD sucessfully with Itunes for over a year now. However since recently rebuilding my machine with Windows residing on Drive D: (was on Drive C orginally), the IPOD is not recognised by ITUNES or the Updater. I read somewhere that ITUNES and the Updater requires drive C: to be the main drive. I can't believe this but since I am desperate I will try anthing. However before I go to this extreme step, can anybody shed any light on this please. Much appreciated!

I really appreciate your help..thanks very much.
Now I put the "wee darling" into disk mode as you suggested and no, it did not show up in the disk management screen.
When I got it into disk mode, following the instructions, it came up correctly with "ok to disconnect" however, when I connected the Ipod, it did not come up "with do not disconnect" as it should have done, again according to the instructions.
I have previously and recently used this firewire port with my movie camera, so I know it works. I also get power from the Firewire port ok.
In case this helps, this is a first generation Ipod with the scroll wheel. (bit ashamed to admit this).
Its Christmas day here, so Merry Christmas and thanks again!

Trying to install boot rom update on 10.7.3 - but will not

I'm trying to install boot camp and I can't install until I update the BOOT ROM. I've downloaded the package macmini2011efiupdate.pkg and this coorsponds with my 5.2 model identifier. I have already updated lion to 10.7.3 and I seem to think that maybe the boot rom update was intended for 10.7.2 and it won't let me install on 10.7.3 because it thinks it isn't compatible?
The message I get when I try to install the Boot ROM update is this software is not supported by your system.
Sincerely, Kevin

Same feeling here... I am not advocate of mac. I bought one only for iPhone development. However the hardware is cool, it is my main home PC with Windows 7. For the OSX I left only 80GB disk space and the rest goes for Windows. Well, things would have been different if the OSX was workable the moment I bought it but it was not the case until this EFI update. Now I do not even think of get rid of the Windows.
Back to your case, what is wrong with your mac so you long for the update so badly? From the link you provided I gathered that your mini 5.2 is the one with ATI Radeon discrete graphic. Are there any problems with those? I thought only the HD3000 were so "crappy" because they were the cheapest version.
Anyway, if you slow down, do not expect too much, you will just gradually get used to the OSX philosophy. It's just different than Windows or Linux (on purpose I think). If you lunch Finder and Navigate to Application->Utilities there are the very useful things for start: "Grab" let you do screen capture and "Console" is like the EventViewer on Windows. You should lunch the Console, select "All Messages" and try the update again - look if there is anything logged from the update package which might help. You can also try to reset the SMC and check if that would help - if I remember correctly, the procedure is to unplug everything from the mini, wait ~5 minutes, plug only the power cord keeping the power button pressed for ~1 minute. The funny thing about that is that you have to follow it literally, I left the mouse and keyboard connected and I got wierd result - the fan was keeping at maximum speed. But try to verify the exact procedure on apple web, sorry I am a bit lazy now to search for it again ( I did it because I was desperate about fixing the sleep-resume problem). Anyway, again I would recommend not touching anything if you do not have any problems with your mac just because it does not want to "get something new". Just a common sense
Well, sory I just have scrolled up, and see your originall post why are you about the EFI update. It's really bad the Boot Camp does such check. It really does not make sense. You can do the install manually if you like, it's not so complicated. First go to disk management app in the Utility folder, and partition your disk formating the new one as FAT32 (the one which would be your windows partition). Next boot your minit keeping left alt pressed - you should see a list of booting devices so if you connected USB DVD (or pen drive with Windows - it's simple to do it yourself, just google for the recipe) you can boot the windows install. During the installation select the FAT32 partition and let Windows format it as NTFS and that's all. You can download from apple web a package for all drivers for Windows 7, and just install it in your windows. To choose which os you would like to boot, you can always do the left-alt select. I opted for installing rEFIt - it's really cool boot menu.

My windows pc wont recognize my ipod

i downloaded the updater and itunes but the updater says "plug in an ipod to update it" even if it is connected and itunes also does not recognize my ipod

Ahh, Windows is fun! Try doing a right click on my computer then clicking manage. Expand disk management and make sure that you are able to see the ipod on the list of available drives and be sure that it's not interefearing with other mapped drives (if you have them).

Safari wont load some sites but will open others

Hi
Since yesterday morning, my mac will all of a sudden not load certain websites while others load fine. For example some that wont load are google, gmail, commonwealth bank, about.com, but facebook and a number of others still load. I get the "Safari can't connect to the server" error page. Same thing in firefox.
I have an ADSL modem (netgear) connected to my mac running 10.6, via ethernet. My modem is not a router. I share my macs internet connection via airport, and i can still access everything fine on my iphone and ipad which tells me its something specific to my mac.
I havent changed any settings so I have no idea why my internet is suddenly so selective of what it will access.
I tried flushing the DNS and changing the MAC access in the terminal with no result.
Any idea? Its driving me insane :-/

HT204384 My SD card wont read in FInder but will show in disk utility, any advice?

Hi, my card reader started to become inconsistant over the last week and it has now stopped reading cards all together. It will show up in Disk utility so i can format it etc but it just wont show in the Finder section. When i remove the card without prompting, i get the 'Failed to eject properly' message. Any advice would be appreciated. I only purchased in Nov 2011 brand new so not sure what operating system it is but you may know from date of purchase.
Thanks
Rob

I had this problem too on my MBP mid-2012 running Mavericks. SD cards (in MBP slot or USB reader) would not show up in Finder. I was able to see them mounted in Disk Utility. What tipped me off that they were in fact mounting (and led me to check Disk Util) is that the OS complained of improperly ejecting the sd card when I removed it.
To clarify what BDAqua said, but I didn't understand until I saw another thread, here's what fixed my problem: Click on 'Finder' 'Preferences', select Sidebar tab and tick the box 'external disks' in the Devices section.
Now my sd cards show up. Thanks!!
