  • 160GB iPod Classic Hard Drive Problem? please help!

    hi,
    I've been trying for weeks to figure out what is wrong with my 160gb classic. it is 14 months old, so just out of warranty. I recently updated to iTunes 10.1.2, after not having synced my iPod for a few months. a few weeks later i went to plug in my ipod and it wasn't recognized by iTunes. i got a bit worried, so i kept trying to unplug it and plug it back in. the one time it popped up, iTunes said it needed to be restored, but the restore failed and it was stuck in disk mode when I unplugged it. I replugged it in and it would only show up in Disk Utility. after tonnes of searching, i tried to do an erase from there, which only made things worse, as the erase constantly failed. Finally i tried to plug my ipod into my old PC running Windows XP. after a few tries iTunes recognized it. the first few restores failed, but after about 5 one completed and i could finally access the menus on my iPod again. However, my ipod still won't show up on iTunes on either of these computers. I did a diagnostic test (SMART or whatever) and the number of the ones that aren't supposed to be high are really high. it this a hard drive issue? is there anything i can do?
    another thing i ended up doing is plugging my dad's 3G nano into my mac. iTunes wouldn't recognize it either, which worried me. Disk Utility would see it though, so i just ejected it as to not break it any more.
    I really want ONE of these ipod's to work! please help!

    Hey mastel2,
    Shut off your computer. Then power it on holding Command + R. Select English as your language then click "erase and reinstall".

    There is no 'Erase and Install' command on a Mac with a Recovery Partition (Command+R), please check your research again.

  • I am stumped I do not understand why my roommates macbook pro when duel screened will display perfectly on my monitor while mine refuses to, but mine will display perfectly when using another monitor that is not mine. Please help me out.

    One day when using my duel display the second monitor decided it wouldn't display at full resolution in the middle of doing something i was confused. I use a mini display to hdmi then hdmi to the second monitor. I thought maybe the converter or cable died. I bought another another mini display to hdmi and tried another hdmi cord and the same issue. My roommate has macbook pro as well so i decided to see if it was the monitor, when i pluged the mini display converter into his and used the external monitor it displayed perfectly not below resolution. Doing this I knew it was not the monitor or the mini display to hdmi or the hdmi cable. I took it into the genuis bar assuming now that it was my grapics card or logic board. When the genuis went to duel screen it on a cinema display it displayed perfectly. So went home tried to duel screen it again and still not displaying at full resolution. That is where I am stuck, in summary:
    My screen used to display perfect resolution on a second monitor and suddenly did not.
    Tested two mini display to hdmi and hdmi cords both were fine.
    Tested to see if monitor was issue but displayed perfectly when i used roommates laptop.
    Went to genius bar and displayed perfectly on second monitor so it can display perfect resolution on apples monitors but will not do so anymore on my monitor, even though roommates macbook pro will display perfect resolution on my monitor.
    I am beyond confused.

    Apparently you have tried everything except - take the monitor in question to the Apple Store along with your computer.  If it works there, the mystery continues.

  • Since update, computer won't connect to iPhone personal hotspot through USB cable

    Since a recent software update from Apple, my MacBook Pro will not connect to my iPhone 4 personal hotspot through the USB cable. I can still connect using wi-fi. But often, I'd rather connect through the cable.

    hello,
    i have the same problem on two different iphones 5, with two different mac book pro; the message si "either the cable for iphone is not plugged in or the device is not responding"
    any solution ?

  • My ipod Classic continually reboots itself.  PLEASE HELP!

    I get it to disk mode and then attach it to iTunes where it wants to restore the ipod to its latest software - which on mine is 1.1.2 everything looks good until it stops trying to restore and gives me an "unknown error 1430"
    SO, I try to update my software through iTunes, then I get the iPod software update server could not be contacted.  There is nothing wrong with this server. It has been working fine all night until iTunes couldn't get through.  Every single new piece of information has a problem associated with it - this doesn't sound like the Apple that I once knew.  I just know I have a whole lot of work ahead of me on trying to fix this problem, and I've already been disappointed by Apple a few times lately.  If only Steve Jobs were still here - he'd get this ship back in order.  LOL!
    Does anyone know a way for my ipod to work like it should again?
    Thanks for letting me vent too, by the way.
    Erik

    I SOLVED THE PROBLEM !
    for anyone else who else is having this problem.
    Uncheck "Manually manage music" and when that question pops up, just click okay.
    then Enable disk use will be checked.
    then everything works perfectly!

  • I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.11 and I need to upgrade Firefox from 3.5.6 to something that will support Constant Contact's new Wizard templates. I am unable to upgrade to Firefox 4; please help me out, thanks!

    My operating system won't support Firefox 4; I got that message via Firefox's auto window. I'm an amateur/non-techy and was unable to find where I can download an earlier version of Firefox than 4. I'd sure appreciate your help. France

    You need to use a newer Mac OS X version. A G4 can be upgraded to 10.5.8(if desired, buy a retail DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay), but you'll likely find it more cost-effective to buy a secondhand Intel Mac.

  • Using an iPod Classic USB cable on an iPhone 4S

    Can you use an iPod classic (1st generation) USB (1.0) cable to charge the iPhone 4S? Is there any effects in doing this? I wanted to use this as an extra charger for my USB car charger.

    I don't know... Just use the USB cable the nano comes with.

  • WHEN I USED TO CONNECT INTERNET FROM MY IPHONE 4S PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB, AN ICON IN THE NETWORK PREFERENCE NAMED "IPHONE" GETS OPENED.... BUT NOW THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AND I AM NOT ABLE TO CONNECCT PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME OUT

    Please don't shout!   Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet.  If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
    Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet?   Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network?  Or do you have other options?

    Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
    You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
    You should let it dry for  a week or so, then try.

    JWhy not just restore from the last backup you have?
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
