How can I use an ipod nano that was synched to another computer?

My daughter gave me his 2nd generation ipod nano because it is no longer use it.  When I plugged in my USB to load, I got a message informing me that there is an update.  It would not be updated beause "ipod cannot be updated because it contains files that are used by another application."

What should I do to be able to use this ipod nano?

I don't think that this message is related to the iPod is synced to another computer...  It is usually other applications or processes on the computer (which is not iTunes) accessing the iPod for some reason if iTunes is not able to perform the update.  However, your question in the subject heading ("How can I use an ipod nano that was synched to another computer?") is valid, since the iPod was previously used by someone else, with a different iTunes library.

If you want to start using this iPod with your iTunes library and put on your songs, instead of doing an Update, you need to restoreThis erases the iPod, reinstalled the latest version of the software, and sets it to the default settings.  The iPod gets a 'new beginning', as when it was new.  To resolve the problem with this "files in use by another application" error message, try restarting your computer.  Immediately after the computer finishes starting up, run iTunes, plug in the iPod (if it isn't already) and try to do the restore (or Update).  If you still get this error message, please after return.

If you are restoring, you can configure it to sync with your iTunes library.  You can post back, if you need advice on options for the implementation.

    (1) make sure that your e-mail account password is strong, don't share between multiple accounts and make sure your PC has good antivirus and a firewall.  Scan frequently.

    (2) it's strange looking (topic...), ask them if they sent before you open it.  Be very suspicious to the links and attachments.
    And pls change the dangerous link out of your post.

  • How can I disable the Adobe applications that were installed on a computer that is no longer available?

    How can I disable the Adobe applications that were installed on a computer that is no longer available? I have a creative cloud subscription, and I want to disable a device that is no longer available. I would have thought that there will be an option to disable all devices somewhere in my account, but I can't.

    This isn't what Mary said.  You get 2 facilities by title.  You should have disabled software on your old machine first, but since you have now 2 methods to disable older facilities.

    My first recommendation was to contact support with your product purchase information and disable them.

    Mary offered another option which is to go ahead and install the software on your new hard drive.   If an error saying: you have exceeded the limit of 2 machine, press the button continue to disable older facilities.  You will then be able to install on you're your new hard drive plus one more.

    Make sense?

  • How can I make my iPod Nano (7th generation) read albums in the correct order?

    I just bought a new Ipod Nano (7th generation) and synchronized my entire library.

    Now I want to listen to an album, but it seems that this system is unable to sort the pieces by number.

    Some are in good order, while other aren´t and when you listen to an album, it's really the most

    annoying as I ve ever had with any mp3 player.

    I looked for a possible system behind this and everything that I could find was, which instead of the title number the

    titles are sorted by add date. Is it possible to fix it?

    In addition, a way to contact support directly without having to CALL them?

    Sorry, but with a system that I had to pay € 150, this shouldn´t certainly happen...

    For a general context, see grouping of tracks in albums . Albums play in the wrong order when metadata numbers or sort of disk are set inconsistently. Playlists in iTunes can also be set to play in a different order than shown that can sometimes be confusing. Album by artist upward is usually the most sensitive order and can be copied to the reading order by right-clicking on the name of the playlist in the sidebar once you have set up.

  • How can I change the iPod nano 7th generation aspect ratio 4:3?

    I'm one of the few people who watch YouTube videos on an iPod nano. Not only that, but I'm watching old movies in a 4:3 picture format. My 5th generation died, who played the fine of 4:3. I'm a 7th generation, which extends to 16:9. No there is no way to solve this problem? I tried to adjust the handbrake and Any Video Converter and it did not work on either.

    No, there is no adjustment on the Nano to change the format.

  • How can I find the private forum that was set up for me about my hotmail password reset problem?

    You have found the information I sent to reset my password to be insufficient. I need to give you additional information you need, but the link you sent to your email address doesn't seem to take me anywhere where I can do.

    In addition, some of the information requested was for my credit card, but I'm using a free account and I guess I don't need to present this type of information. Is this correct?

    Hi Daniel,.

    I know not who talk you to or by what method (phone, online, email, chat,...), or how it started, but I strongly suspect that is NOT anyone of Hotmail and you should stop communicating with them and providing personal information any more than you already have and immediately delete all emails from them and who come in the future and do not go to all the links in the emails and do not open attachments to emails.  I'm almost certain it's a scam and an attempt to identity theft and possibly worse.

    Now let's awhile back and check something.  Did you password reset instructions below and receive the email them with a link to reset?  If so, this may be valid; However, if the link is not valid (or even if it is still perhaps not trust because he could easiily be redirected) and request information (enamel on their part is not ask for information but just give a link), especially as your credit card, then it is totally wrong and what I said above applies. In this case, I post on the forum and forget that normal reset method and get help directly from them where you KNOW who you're talking about.

    If they want to use the e-mail process (or need to because you have not provided no alternative), then ask you provide the link they will send (I guess they won't) or to include a way to check for certain that the email is from them given the circumstances - perhaps including a few special as coded message "this message is verified to support Hotmail with the code we agreed on Au93kgke9le ' or some thing like this and ask them to send you a private link response so you can send private code and not in the open air in the thread.

    To resolve this issue, go to http://windowslivehelp.com/product.aspx?productid=1 for support of Hotmail.  For assistance with your password, post your question in the following forum: http://windowslivehelp.com/forums.aspx?forumid=d3fda415-1e53-4007-8e0c-2a77180ffb1d.   Here is specific information on the password reset: http://windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=bf5d34bf-db28-44ca-ac9a-93838d81b2d6 but be careful if the messaging process is used and do as shown above, or make them use another method (or offer a safe alternative).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

Any help on this would be much appreciated.
