Windows will not open with Nano in dock/charger?????

Hello to all.
This is first mp3 player and have not had a great experience so far. Technically this 2nd Gen 2G is my second one, the first was immediately returned to store becoause of problems.
Anyway, now my computer will not get past the first black screen where it checks it's drives and OS. It sees the primary and locks up. If I turn it off and disconnect the iPod and re-start, everything runs like it should.
I first discovered this with my 1st 2G and thought it was part of the problem. I was just leaving it plugged in with the USB charger cord when I turned off my computer in the evenings. I found a cool little charging dock with an RCA jack to plug into my bookshelk system by my computer. Still does the same thing! Downloaded iTunes 7.0, but still having the same problem!
This is my first experience with mac/Apple and so far between the PITA software, difficulties I am having with the Music Store, (another issue), and this start up problem, I ain't impressed!
Any help to ease my frustrations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you're not even booting into Windows, updating iTunes won't make a difference (as you've found out). What it sounds like to me is that your computer is trying to boot off your new Nano. Many newer computers allow booting off USB devices. It's possible (especially given the way you have explained the problem) that your computer is set to boot off of either external or USB devices first. This would explain why you had the same problem with your previous iPod. Do you know how to enter the BIOS in your computer? Usually when you first turn on your computer, it will flash hit F2, F10, Delete, or something like that in order to enter setup. You should be able to find something related to the boot order. You want to set it to boot from your hard drive first (or CD drive if you want... but then be sure your hard drive is next).

  • Windows will not open with iPod plugged in!

    Well, I thought Joey got me through this problem about a week and a half ago, but it only worked once and has been back to being a pain.
    If I leave the iPod Nano 2G, plugged in when I shut off my computer, (XP SP2), then go to turn it on the next morning, it grabs the iPod immediately and my computer locks on the black screen that checks the system. I have to turn the power off disconnect the iPod and then the computer fires right up when I start up again.
    I had 6.? with the Nano, updated twice already to 7.?. Had the problem with all those, but it has to be something before that because it never gets to boot up Windows.
    I have played around in BIOS changing boot sequenses, but have been unsucessful in getting it to start up while plugged in to USB port. I have changed the iPod options as a disk and managing my music, but to no avail!
    What's the sense in having a dock for your iPod when it's in & out, in & out???
    Anyone??
    Thanks in advance!

    No I have not, but this was just brought up to me this past weekend, as a possible solution by a local IT guy.
    I'm trying to sift through all the documentation from when I purchased my computer system, to find out what kind of motherboard is in the tower and then go to a site for a BIOS update.
    Unfortunately the manufacturer of my system is defunct. Shame, because I have had no problems with this system since I bought it over 2 years ago.
    Thanks!

  • Mail will not open with Viewer Window

    Hi-
    When I start Mail, I only get a menubar. It will not open with a Viewer Window and the option to do so is grayed out on the File dropdown menu.
    It was having problems earlier displaying messages when moving between folders and was unable to send a message I had just replied to.
    New to Apple, don't know where to start..
    Thanks,

    Too late. Already fixed it. Must have been a bad message on the server because after I logged into my .MAC mail account with another reader (Opera) I was able to download and delete all the messages on the server.
    Next time I tried Mail, everything bounced back into shape.

    I installed new version 4. Whenever I double click on any htm or html document it will not open with firefox it gives a message window saying "Windows can not file path please type correctly" (not extact these words) .. It was working when old firefox was there..

    Phillipp,
    I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

  • Finder window will not open

    Finder window will not open from the dock unless I right click and click "New Finder Window".  Currently running Yosemite 10.10.3 (14D87p) public beta (iMac - 27" late 2013). 
    Tried the following fixes:
    1.  Deleted finder.plist and restart.
    2.  Force quit Finder - when I do this, I get the "Finder not responding" and have to restart computer and right click for "New Finder Window".
    3.  Perform "disk permission repair".

    Well I'm glad that I"m not the only one with the issue. I'm also running Yosemite 10.10.3. About 2 days ago Finder stopped responding. I have reported it via "Feedback Assistant".
    I did create a new profile and it does open with a new profile. Which is kinda strange. I have also done items 1-3 listed in the original post.
    I will keep an eye on this post to see if anyone solves the issue at hand.

  • I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

    When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
    I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

    You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Edited clips will not open with other apps

    After editing video clips using Adobe Premiere Elements, clips will not open with other apps (like VLC, Media Player, etc...)

    Just saw your post and wanted to leave a just in case note.
    From the information that you and John T. Smith just exchanged, it would appear that you attempted to play back the saved project file (project.prel) with your VCL Player and Windows Media Player. You need to export the Timeline content to a file format that is supported by the player of your choice. By now, you have probably been there and done that.
    This is the just in case note about projects and their project.prel file....let us say that you have two separate projects and you decide to put the content of one project into another. Cannot do. One cannot import a project.prel into another project.prel. You would have to export the Timeline of one and then import that export in the other project. Alternatively, those with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1, 9.0/9.0.1, and 10 could use the ClipMate program to copy/paste between programs without issues. However, with Premiere Elements 11 there are some problems in that regard.

  • My options window will not open

    I opened my options to delete cookies and browsing history and mozilla crashed. When I re-opened and tried to do it again the options window will not open. I have re-opened browser windows several times and still nothing happens when I click on options.

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the <b>browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once</b> pref to true.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • I am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully,

    i am having problems exporting my time lapses from quick time pro i need to save my files as photo jpegs but the standard video compression window will not open fully, it just keeps my mac (old 1.6Ghz 2.5 GB sdram G5 still good for most stuff i need) spinning for ever but i can see compression type H.264 selected and the other setting but i can not select any other options as it still thinking but never opens! why is this happening how do i get round it?
    my work flow is: 300 images shot on a 5d mark II medium jpegs opened in Light Room cropped to 16:9 then exported and opened in quick time i can save a .mov H264 giving me files sizes of 14 mb for a 16 second time lapse, mp4 9 mb. the only way i can get large files is saving as a self contained movie then i get 300mb files.
    i need to save my files 1920 x 1080 photo jpeg codec as i want HD quality.
    i am sure there is a simple way round this?
    thanks guys!

  • Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
    The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
    CS5 is history and it is not longer supported.  There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
    You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

    My sister is having the same issue on iPhone 4. iTunes only loads the menu buttons at the bottom of the app with no content. I'm going to have her try the reset settings.
    I will add that iTunes on my iMac seems to require a cookie from Safari to keep you logged in. I've never seen the same requirement on the phone but iBond's solution will work if you ever have an issue with iTunes log in on your computer.

  • IPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon.  It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

    iPhoto will not open with pictures when I click on the icon.  It does show that it is open on top toolbar. What happened to my photos?

    Did you run any updaters recently, i.e. like just before this happened?  Try this first fix: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file,, Cache.dbt, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..
