WINDOWS WON'T RECOG. SOLUTION HERE!!!!

I had tried everything short of a complete wipe of my computer's O/S.
Ipod Clicking: drop it or slap it a few times...
Windows won't recognise: I did two things which may have fixed it, one close antiVir, the other was to insert the original disk that came with my ipod.
I'm thinking that the Ipod's base operating software was corrupt or some ****.
YOU CAN BREATH NOW!!!!
Tim
Get it on!!!!!!!!!!!!

Insert orig cd, let software run, if it doesn't run auto like mine, open it and install... Goes though installation, at some point you asked to format the ipod, mount it, then it will wipe everything!! But that's a start at least you can do something!! right!
Installation didn't complete as newer itunes detected.
Restart
Select language, mount ipod, itunes launches auto like it should. Register. There's your ipod in the left column!!!
Copying 500 of 9900.
Ipod quite hot

  • Lenovo Yoga Windows 8.1 Update Solution Thread

    Before you attempt anything, I would suggest you read it first . This is probably not a conclusive guide for everyone's situation.
    I updated to Windows 8.1 about a couple of hours ago and it's screwed up everything. I noticed users on this forum having a load of problems too so here's my 'roughish' guide on resololving all the issues that affected me (Lenovo Yoga 13 (2191))
    Lenovo have release some official upgrade literature (incl rough solutions)
    http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/windows8-1/upgrade/ideapad/index_en.html
    You are going to need to download new drivers and reinstall a few apps.
    Windows 8 Drivers (Back them up - Do not delete them)
    This is what I've done. All of your drivers will be stored in c:\Drivers if you haven't got a custom installation. I would move everything in there into a new folder (C:\Drivers\Windows 8) so you have a historical backup because the Windows 8.1 may not upgrade them all.
    Windows 8.1 Drivers
    Go here;
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_GB/
    Click Drivers & Software and search Yoga. This link should take you directly there but they never seem to post right on forums so...
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_GB/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032590
    Change the filter to show Windows 8.1 as the OS. Download everything it displays and save it in a new folder (C:\Drivers\Windows 8.1).
    Now you have all the new drivers ready to install. Go into your C:\Drivers\Windows 8.1 folder and install each thing in the list on by one. If they request a reboot I would suggest you do that before progressing onto another driver. Do this until everything is installed.
    At the time of writing the drivers include;
    Bluetooth/Wlan, Camera, Card Reader, Chipset (Important), Management engine, Alscontrol, Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework & Graphics.
    WARNING:
    Updating Wifi  drivers it may reset your settings (lose network passwords etc) so you may need to get your wifi pass to hand or skip this driver if you have no problems.
    Graphics
    My graphics went blurry. This was due to the HD graphics driver. This is in this pack. This fixed it for me, but in case it doesn't totally fix your problem, there is a suggestion to change a setting if problems persist of your graphics (Thanks Ezekial)
    1. Right-click on Desktop and select "Screen resolution" option.
    2. Now click on "Make text and other items larger or smaller" link.
    3. It'll open "Display" settings page. You can also directly open "Display" window by selecting "Personalize" option from Desktop context menu and then click on "Display" link given at the bottom of left-sidebar.
    4. Now enable "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays" option and apply the changes.
    5. Restart your system and your problem will be fixed.
    Trackpad
    If you have a problem where you lose your trackpad like I did, you can uninstall in that device manager but I would suggest you are careful in there. You can then click actions, and scan for hardware changes. 
    Get to Device manager this way;
    Right click My Computer/This Computer and click manage. Down the left side look for Device Manager.
    When updating the drivers (anything with an exclamation mark) you should right click and update drivers. Search in your new folder. If you installed all the above drivers you may have nothing here.
    Airplane Mode Hotkey/Function
    To fix the problem with the AirPlane mode not working you will need to go back to the above downloads page and change the filter to Windows 8 and look in Power Management. You will need that. I had to run it with Windows 8 compatibility and Run as administrator.
    Lenovo Transition/Auto-Rotate/Keyboard Disabler
    Download this;
    http://driverdl.lenovo.com.cn/lenovo/DriverFilesUploadFloder/36071/Win8_lenovo_transition_x64.exe
    (Thanks to the other th3is & mikey94025)
    Uninstall Lenovo Tranisition.
    Reboot.
    Reinstall the downloaded version. If it fails at the end, reboot. If it's still sketchy uninstall, reboot and install again but with Windows 8 compatibility. Hopefully you won't need to do that though.
    Sound
    This was broken. Drivers haven't been updated so in device manage update from your "C:\Drivers\(Windows 8)" folder
    Bluetooth
    I haven't tested my bluetooth yet, but if your's is broken the drivers are in your "C:\Drivers\(Windows 8.1)"  folder if you downloaded the drivers linked above..
    Others
    Citrix Receiver (I wouldn't expect this to affect the majority of you)
    My desktop version of this broke. Maybe my custom installation, but a reinstall with the same commands fixed this.
    Windows Update
    I would suggest you enable this and make sure you are up-to-date. Swipe in from the right and search for update. Find Windows Update.
    I would also update other apps & drivers (link on that page to download an update to enable this.
    I don't seem to have any other problems. The support page Is not all completely relevant IMO and it has some drastic views on what you should do to upgrade. Just take note that McAffe may have also broken, so be careful on the net as you may be unprotected.
    You may want to run through Device manager on anything you are still having problems with. Also depending on the age of your yoga there may still be other things you could update, but unless you have a problem, I wouldn't really worry too much. 
    Windows 8.1 also no longer pins your apps to the start page by default. Now just swipe up from the bottom to find your apps if you want to pin them or just search for them (swipe in from the right)
    Good luck!!! Sorry if I missed anything.

    Can you be more specific with the below, as I can't make sense of what you're referring to?  I don't know what element size is at all, or where to change it.  And, I don't know what you mean by unchecking a checkbox in the device manager as there are no checkboxes.  More guidance and specifics would be appreciated.
    * Change the element size back to recover from blurry text
    * Go to device manager and uncheck that checkbox for the first of the USB devices in HID so that the touchscreen does always react on the first touch (this setting has been lost during the update process)

  • Windows won't boot with Virtualization Techonology enabled

    My Windows won't boot if I enable Virtualization Technology. I've read the other forums and have tried to both disable and update the Bluetooh and Wifi drivers before enabling virtualization again but that's not working. I've also updated the Bios but that doesn't work either.
    Laptop: HP Envy TouchScreen 15-j052nr
    OS: Windows 8.1 (64bit)
    Bios: F.63 (I've tried F.65 A)

    Hi @thyPot ,
    I saw your post regarding the problem with the Virtualization. If you have already tried disabling and updating the drivers then give us call for further options. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

  • Acrobat 9.5.1 update on Windows XP Error 1321 solutions don't work

    Acrobat 9.5.1 update on Windows XP Error 1321 solutions don't work. I can't uninstall program. Error upon error.

    Hi John,
    I'm trying to install the SunMC 3.5.1 Console on
    Windows XP with not much success. The install
    displays the initial splash screen, but then fails
    with the error :
    The install wizard cannot proceed.
    Aborting installation now...First, are you installing from a complete SunMC CD or CD image? If you just copied some files out of a CD/image you may have missed some jar files.
    SunMC Consoles don't like to share systems with older versions of themselves. Try moving/renaming the directory your 3.5 Console is installed in (or uninstall it if you don't need it),... then try putting 3.5.1 in again.
    All my demos/work/courses are on 3.5.1 on an XP laptop, so I know it works.
    I think it's probably just not happy about 3.5 already being installed... so just move it out of the way for awhile to get 3.5.1 in (then put 3.5 back so you can have them both).
    Regards,
    Mike
    The Java version is 1.4.2_03 .
    The Release Notes etc don't give any clues.
    Strangely, SunMC 3.5 works fine on this desktop..
    Any ideas as to where I can go from here? This is
    effectively stopping me from going from SMC 3.5 to
    3.5.1, unless I can get the Console working..
    Has anyone else had problems with SMC 3.5.1 on XP?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Java has been updated as well as firefox but java refuses to run - drop down menus won't work (ebay) and pogo game windows won't load.....HELP

    Ever since I updated firefox to 3.5.16 java ahs stopped working. Drop down menu's in ebay don't, windows from links (such as tracking in ebay) don't work, pogo game windows won't load or will load the widow frame but not the game itself. I work online and run and online business and this wastes a lot of my time. Idon't want to use IE but might have to - I have looked in the forums and online and can't find a solution. Your help would be greatly appreciate it.

  • After the installation of Lion I don't see the partition with Windows 7. The solution?

    After the installation of Lion I don't see the partition with Windows 7. The solution?

    Let's be real clear here -- are you saying you are using Internet Explorer and when you try and download Mozilla Firefox it gets around 75% through and shuts down?
    If so there is something wrong with your computer -- or at least IE. I rarely, if ever, recommend this, but it might be time to reformat your hard drive and reinstall your OS (if you are even thinking about doing this the first thing you must do is back up all your data files, preferably to writable media like DVDR or CDR).
    If you have a friend with a computer perhaps you can get them to download both the latest iTunes as well as (more importantly) the latest firmware updater, and then install them on your machine (they can write them to their own CD).
    The other thing that occurs to me is you might not be logged in as admin on that computer -- make sure you are doing this and are the only user.
    Otherwise my brain is fuzzy right now -- perhaps someone else can jump in after you reply (I'm right in the middle of packing for a cross country move and only able to spend about five minutes a day on this board).

  • "File Upload" window won't stay open

    When you go to add an attachment/document via the "File Upload" window, you can select Photos from the Media section on the left side, then choose iPhoto library to find the pictures you want to send/upload.
    My iPhoto library is pretty large - over 200GB (I take a lot of pictures!) and I can't seem to be able to use this feature. In some apps, the file upload window won't even open any more - it pops up, then closes immediately. In other apps, it just hangs.
    Any suggestions (other than delete my photos, which is not an option!)
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response. Sorry for the delay getting back here.
    I get several:
    [ERROR] no photo paths dict from iPhoto DB.
    then:
    Mozilla has caught an Obj-C exception [NSInvalidArgumentException: * -[NSURL initFileURLWithPath:isDirectory:]: nil string parameter]
    What is interesting is that this was happening in every application that I tried to upload/attach files with (Mail, Safari, Firefox) but since I created the account to test with, it only happens with Firefox (at least so far - Safari and Mail are working). I still get the "[ERROR] no photo paths dict from iPhoto DB." messages from Safari but get nothing when attaching in mail.

  • I tunes is not workin.Windows is serchin a solution

    I tunes is not workin.Windows is serching a solution.Thanks

    I spent five hours yesterday messing with this issue.  After uninstalling, trying to reinstall, restarting my computer, here is what finally worked for me.  I uninstalled all of my apple products, including Quicktime and I-Cloud.  At that point I kept trying to reinstall and couldn't get the software for ITunes to download.  So I gave up and reinstalled Quicktime and I-Cloud off of the Internet. That part of the reinstall worked.   I was about to give up for the night, but logged into my I-Tunes account and tried one more time to reinstall, and it worked!  It seemed to be the combination of uninstalling everything, reinstalling the two software programs and then logging in before trying to reinstall I-Tunes.

  • Actions window won't open

    When I select a the {.} 'trigger/actions' icon it won't open the Actions window. I can see a faint outline/shadow of a window about 50px X 50px  which stays offset from the click location as if the window won't redraw
    Also when I use the Code Window hitting CTRL + S to save inputs 'DC3' at the cursor position and fails to save the composition.
    The application is also running very slow and a Save takes about 5 - 8 seconds an iMac (with thin retina display - so relatively recent)

    DOWNGRADE SOLUTION - Adobe Edge Animate 4.1 to 4.0.1
    I managed to copy the Application folder from one of the other Desktops that still had the older version.
    Initially there was a pathing issue to the newer version (Probably still in regedit) however I just adjusted the Application Folder name and since the path resolves it's all working now on 4.0.1 again.
    Adobe has completely changed the symbol Obj in 4.1 so if you are referencing undocumented attributes to symbols in your legacy applications you're in for an interesting day or two upgrading all your scripts. PLAN FOR THIS IN YOUR QUOTE TO A CLIENT if you intend to upgrade any Legacy applications
    Only lost 6 hours of development time.

    I charged my phone and now I can't get it to turn on again. What do I do? I can't find a solution here. All I get are error messages.

    Try pulling the battery for 10 minutes and putting it back in.  Try pressing and holding the power button for a while 15-30 seconds to see if it will respond.  Did anything happen to it, drop, submersion, etc. Was it functioning before you charged, When did it last work. Are you sure it charged up and the charger is working.

  • Help! Mail freeze: window won't open, nor will it close so I can restart

    I've just had a strange problem with Mail. The window won't open - or has issues with opening (it did, but only briefly). It's generally having problems - its menus aren't dropping down - and I would like to quit and restart the computer (a Mac Mini). I've tried an apple q and nothing is happening. So the computer won't restart unless I force a shut down by manually holding down the button.

  • On MacBook Pro, trashing anything requires password. How to fix so it doesn't. Also, finder window won't reopen in same place. How to fix?

    On my MacBook Pro, trashing files and folders requires that I input my password. How do I fix it so that I don't have to do that every time? Also, finder windows won't reopen in same place and configuration that I left them in when I closed them. How do I fix this?

    My guess is that you are storing your files on the root level of your HD. If so, move the files in to your user folder and you shouldn't get password prompts.
    Once you close a finder window you cannot continue that session. You can set the default location that a finder window opens however. Click on the finder, from the menubar select FInder/Preferences then click on the "General" tab. Where it says "New Finder windows open", you can select any folder on your drive as the default. My sggestion would be to set it to your User folder where you should be storing your files.
