My iPod has ceased to work

So, I'm listening to my iPod and it freezes, right?
Since I am not home, I have to let the battery die so that I can go home and plug it in to charge. Well, I go home only to find out that nothing is happening. That it is still dead, and it does not show up on my iTunes or my hardrive. I am in dire need of some assistance. Please help.

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

My iPod has just stopped working for no apparent reason?

I used it this morning for twenty minutes when I went out for a run. It may have gotten slightly sweaty (bleghh, sorry) but I don't think it was a factor in this! I listened to it for another ten minutes or so after the run, too, so it was still working then. But about half an hour later, I tried to listen to some songs again and it just didn't react at all. The screen was completely blank. Resetting it didn't work; plugging it into the mains did nothing but cause the Apple symbol to appear, disappear, and continue to do so, flashing on and off. Plugging it into the laptop, then pressing reset made the Apple symbol appear again, but then it vanished and the screen just kept flashing - it's quite dim so it's difficult to tell, but I think it's trying to show the Apple symbol but is crashing before all the bars can build up into a clear image. It's infuriating, because I only bought this iPod a couple of months ago, and I could have sworn I saved the warranty but now I can't find it
I would really, really appreciate any help you can give, I hate not being able to listen to music!

Hi Klaus
Thanks for the welcome and offer of help -- much appreciated.

IPod has completely stopped working

I received my 80 GB iPod near the end of May and it's worked perfectly until now. I left it to charge over the weekend and when I tried to use it today, it said the battery was "very low." However, when I plug it into the computer to charge, the computer only recognizes it for a few seconds before giving me the "device was not removed properly" message. The iPod was making a really weird noise -- the hard drive would hum, wine, and stop. Rinse and repeat. I unplugged it and it eventually stopped making the noise.
I've tried the lock/menu+select thing, as well as resetting it on iTunes, but the latter just said there was an unknown error and neither worked.
Why doesn't my baby love me anymore?

Just bought a ipod nano for my daughter in law and same thing happened, froze up. Took back to shop and fixed in seconds.
Quite common fault! Switch on and off hold button first, then press and hold down Menu button and also press and hold down the centre button. (do this together)
The ipod then resets itself. You do not loose any music etc.
Good luck

Background music option in slideshow has ceased to work in iPhoto

I have followed the instructions in the "Setting slideshow options" page to the letter and am unable to hear or prelisten to background music for a slideshow from within iPhoto. I have no problem seeing my iTunes library from within iPhoto and the music I am selecting is not protected. This functionality used to work in iPhoto and I can listen to music directly in iTunes (not a hardware issue). The symptoms are that the slideshow starts as if no background music has been selected (it has of course). I have updated to iPhoto 6.0.5, I'm running iTunes 7.0.2 and I have all OS (10.4.8) and firmware updates on this MacBook Pro. I am starting to think that this functionality stopped working as a result of updating Mac software but I'm ready for something more obvious. Anyone had the same problem? Can anyone please help?

Jed:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you repair disk permissions after each of the updater were run? It's important that it be done after any software installation or update. I'd give it another go and see if that helps. Also Terence's question regarding Quicktime is important.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

My iPhone4 Home button has ceased to work.

It was intermittent for a while and now has stopped working altogether. Any ideas?

If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage definitely have Apple resolve the problem for you.
If no coverage, first step is to clean the iPhone Dock Port to see if this returns the function, use a clean dry toothbrush. If nothing, try cleaning Dock Port with a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol.
If still no function, next step is Restore iPhone Firmware. If still problem then Home Button Flex will need replacement or you have serious Logic Board problem.

IDVD has ceased to work.

I tried to open up my iDVD app and received the message that it is not compatible with my version of the OS. But I have always used it, what has gone wrong ? I have auto-update on the applications, and currentluy have iDVD v 7.1.1 and OS X 10.5.8. Why are they not compatible ? Please ??

OK I've just worked it out ! My HDD went down and had to be replaced, which meant a complete re-installation of everything...the worst possible nnightmare. I had not realised that the Snow Leopard had not been re-placed, so now I have V10.6.8 and all is working correctly. Phew !

After updating Firefox on my MacBook Air (OSX 10.6.8), it has ceased to work. I open it, but it never gets beyond the Connecting... message.

I have always used Firefox on my MacBook Air. But since updating to the latest version of Firefox (7.0.1), it freezes as soon as I open it - there is a constantly running "Connecting..." message, and the little circle turns continuously, and there is a blank page. Eventually, I get an error message saying "Connection Timed Out" - and it does not matter which website I try to contact. All my other browsers (Safari, Chrome" work fine

Hi franverdi-
It sounds like you've run into issues from the upgrade. I've found a Support article that helps with issues of not being able to connect after an upgrade:
[[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]
I hope that helps!

ITunes has ceased to work.

I've tried rebooting, I've tried reinstalling, I've tried everything the http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ page suggests. When I open iTunes, it immediately gives the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." error message.

Haha. I have about 45 GB of content total. (thousands of songs, hundreds of audiobooks, hundreds of music videos, a few movies) I'm using the most recent version of iTunes, whatever it is. =P and my computer is very screwy. I've had it freeze 3 times where I had to restart the computer by holding down the power button, and sometimes the screen becomes covered with noise and the monitor becomes completely useless for a few minutes.

My ipod has completly knackered it's self and the touch screeen has completely packed in, wont work on the computer when i plug it in also i cannot switch it off or on standby. What should i do?

hard reset the ipod. IN THIS ORDER. plug in the ipod, turn the ipod off, open itunes, press the sleep button (top) for 3 seconds, continue to press the sleep button and also (at the same time) press the home button. Contunue to do this until 3 seconds after the screen flashes. Then release the sleep button and continue to press the home button until the ipod shows up in itunes. do a factory reset.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

Help ASAP needed

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.
