The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Ipod Shuffle: Unable to mount/update; Anything at all!

Asked by Ai3d in Operating Systems Miscellaneous

Tags: ipod, shuffle, mount

Hey, I recently got a iPod Shuffle which I have been trying to connect to my pc for a while now (on the back into high-powered USB 2.0 port I believe)
I installed the iTunes and iPod software as was instructed.
Now, in iTunes, I get the following error upon transferring a song:
"The iPod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to."
The iPod updater says "Cannot mount"
The Removable Disk is not in 'My Computer'
The iTunes does not understand the option of not bloody running when I connect the bloody iPod. It just launches everytime, even though I've changed the preference a few times now, when I click OK on that dialog, it says updating iPod, after a while it updates the iPod. Then I remove/reconnect it, and voila! iTunes launches yet again!
This is one of the most frustrating experiences ever. I regret missing on that Creative Zen.
And btw, I also know how to use www.google.com and I've made several searches so far.
Please help or I'll consider donating this to smashmyipod.com
