2 new radio remotes not working on 2 new iPods. Any ideas?

I bought 2 new video iPods 3 weeks ago from the Apple store in Florida. (1 black, 1 white - so I assume different batches.) They both worked fine with no problems until I came home and bought a radio remote in the UK.
The remote didn't work at all and seemed to drain the power from the iPod as soon as it was plugged in, the screen faded and the iPod switched off. The only way to get it on again was to unplug the radio and plug in the usb charger for a few seconds. This was the same with both iPods.
Called Apple who thought the remote was faulty so they sent out a new one. New one has just arrived and it does the same thing, again on both iPods.
Apple are sending out yet another remote, but I'm concerned there may be some sort of compatability issue with certain video iPods maybe? Would there be any difference between UK bought and USA bought items that could cause a problem? I don't really see how but it seems strange that it happens to both iPods. Maybe just sheer bad luck to get 2 faulty radios?
iPods are up to date btw - 1.2.1
Anyone any suggestions or had similar problems?

Yip, back in the UK and no, no ipod stores near me, it's all done via the helpline and the PO.
The latest replacement radio arrived today. It works on the black iPod but not on the white one. It drains the power on the white one, as did the others.
I think I may have had 2 issues here....faulty radios but also a faulty iPod maybe.

    Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

    Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

  • Dx4-1548dx notebook -power connector is not working.need replacement/ fixing? any idea?

    This is my second HP laptop malfunctioning as many years.  Power connector (slot where you plug in power cord) goes off and on at will. Laptop totally useless if I cannot charge the battary.  Look like I have to toss the laptop.  May be somebody out there can help me save my computer.  Thanks.

    Sir,
    I tried out with another charger but of no use. Also I tried out with the following steps suggested by HP:
    1) Flee power discharge.
    2) Remove and reseat RAM/HDD.
    1 thing:
    Also, sometime back, I contacted a service center for this problem, and they informed me that there is a transistor iin power line of the laptop which is not working. And we need to replace the laptop's mainboard to rectify the problem.
    Thanks.

  • Touch Screen Not Working on IdeaTab 2109A-F - Any ideas on how to fix?

    I have an IdeaTab 2109A-F tablet.
    The touch screen has stopped responding. 
    The unit boots up just fine, but nothing on the screen responds to touch.
    I have tried the power drain, charge fully, then turn on. This made no difference.
    I can turn the tablet off by holding the power button down for 10+ seconds. I can then get to the Android System Recovery screen by holding Volume + at the same time as the Power On button. On the System Recovery screen, none of these fix the problem:
    - Reboot system now
    - Wipe Cache Partition
    - Wipe data/factory reset
    When I select "apply update from external storage" I get the message:
    Choose a package to install:
    /sdcard
    But I have no idea what to do then....
    When I select "Apply update from ADB" I get the message:
    Now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"...
    Where would I find this package? And how do I get it sent to my tablet?
    Anyone got any ideas?
    (I am not very technical... sorry!)
    Thanks!

  • Effects panel is not working on editable text? Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Trouble shooting this with even starting with a new box and still having the problem.

    In order to apply Effects to text, Muse needs to rasterize the text into an image. Therefore, Effects on text will only works if you have chosen a System Font or if you have rotated your text - both of which force the text to be rasterized. The ability to select an Effect for Web Fonts or Web Safe Fonts depends on browser compatibility which is not equal for all browser platforms as compatibility with CSS on browsers is something which Muse cannot control within its design , We allow users to apply it to text using System Fonts because we are already rasterizing the text frame.
    If you want effect on the text frame you have to add a stroke.

  • My dvd drive is not working its ejecting dvd's any ideas?

    i havent used my dvd drive in a while and not had any problems but it has stopped working , i ve tried cd's and dvd's it just ejects them after a few seconds any suggestions ?

    Hi,
    Try following the procedure under the sub-heading 'Let me fix it myself' on the link below to manually remove the Upper and Lower filters.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982116
    Next, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Now, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open up DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select Uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.

  • Boot Camp on rMBP - Games are not working well. Drivers updated, any ideas?

    Windows 7 64-bit Drivers are updated, and OS is current (both in the Mac and Win sides).
    In Asassins Creed III, the resolution stays at the lowest setting. Any attempt to increase the resolution above the lowest setting (not just to the highest setting) results in a blinking screen and an eventual reset back to the original (low) resolution.
    In other games, the mouse appears to be "off" by about 100 pixels to the right. When I click on something, the cursor is not where the clicking happens.
    In still other games, the sound is off. Sound seems to be turned down, even though it's at its max in the game's settings. This only happens for some games.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Did you check Control Panel>Device Manager  ?
    Open up the DVD/CD-ROM Drives and see if your drive is even listed.
    If it is try updating the drivers.
    If not Run Action>Scan for Hardware Changes and see if Windows finds the Drive.

  • Pioneer DVR-105 Not Working In Quicksilver...Any Ideas?

    i just bought a dvr-105 on ebay. i installed it, and it's recognized in the system profiler, and it ejects and i can put a disc in there...but then the disc is never recognized. i try different discs, and dvds and cds...but it never spins up and acknowledges the disc.
    i have it set to "master" on the jumpers, and the firmware is version 1.33, which seems to be the newest one. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I checked out your link to Pioneer. I see that v 1.33 is listed as a Windows firmware version and v 1.30 is for Mac, so I would start there.
    I believe some devices require that you boot into OS9 in order to install the Mac firmware, however, the firmware update itself is not OS dependent. You will need at least an OS 9.2.1 boot CD or drive partition, or it can boot to OS 9.2.0 if it is the original QS G4 disk.
    I was using my QS G4 exclusively under OS 9.2.2 when I had first used the DVR-105 drive, but I had no problems when I later upgraded the OS to 10.3.5.
    I have since moved the drive to my back-up B& W G3, but I have never experienced any problems.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Sylvia.
    There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.
