2nd gen freezing. Rebooting, but freezing regularly... Please help
Hi, I've got a 2nd Gen iPod Touch 32Gb that I haven't used in a while since I got an iPhone, but I gave it to my daughter at Christmas and now it is freezing. It is on 4.2.1 (the list recent software that I can download to it), but randomly it freezes. It could go for 2 hours, or need the home and power button rest after 5 minutes.
Googling it suggests a "hardware" failure.... Any advice?
Please help!
Thanks, Simon
I have got a problem with my ipod 2nd gen shuffle. It firstly started out having power in the orange light, so not much, and then when i charged it for a few hours, no power went in.
Now the power has completely drained and i can neither charge it, get it detected by the computer nor can i open it. Whenever i plug it into a comp, sometimes it shows on the orange light for a few seconds and then disappears and nothing happens after that.
Please help me. (I love my ipod and my music =P

When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.
The computer freezes? There may be something wrong with the USB port. If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port? If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer? Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub. Something like this one
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply. You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer. This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected. Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery. -
I own a MacBook Pro 2.4 ghz non unibody. I turn on my laptop for ten seconds and it freezes. It boots perfectly and runs for ten seconds until everything freezes. Please help!
See if you can boot into single user mode with Command S.

Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.
I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az -

My iPad shows it is connected to the Internet wherever there is free wifi but it is getting up and I can't get it to work? I tried rebooting but it didn't help. Any suggestions?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Ipod has frozen I have tried to reset it but no luck, please help?
Let's ensure you are doing the reset process correctly.
How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
Restoring erases the iPod hard drive, so you will need to reload your songs from iTunes. -

Hi,
I have an old laptop running WinXP Home SP3 with iTunes 10.2x installed. I sync my old iPod Classic120GB and a newer iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro. I am moving everything to the new one. I did not have a problem with the old iPod. But when I tried to sync the Touch it just freezes while trying to backup the existing contents. I have read a few support docs and have tried some of them where I have to tweak some of Window's Admin tools. I have also uninstallled and installed iTunes. There are so many things to try in the troubleshooting steps that I can't really figure out which is which. I also can't backup the contents of my current iPod Touch by attaching the device and right-clicking on it. The Backup context menu just isn't there.
I currently have iTunes v10.3x and I need some "serious" help. :-) I did the Run Diagnostic with the device attached. I looked at the report and saw something that might be the cause. I am running iTunes not as the administrator. But if I try to run it as an admin, the Library is now different and I'm just "scared" to screw things up some more.
Thank you.
Horace
P.S. Should I send the diagnostic report? Is it safe? If not what info should I exclude? Thanks." When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -
2nd gen freezing, loosing music
My 2nd gen Ipod has been freezing, then when I do the "press select/menu" to restart, all my music disappears and I have to upload it all again. I've had it for around 8 years or so now (got it new), is it time for a new one or can this be fixed?
I recently bought a 2nd gen shuffle and I've
connected to my pc and uploaded music without any
problems.
However, while I'm using the shuffle, for some
unknown reason - and completely at random, the
shuffle seems to lose certain tracks, not all - just
some.
I have loaded nearly 2 hours previously, but after
this disappearing trick has finished, there's usually
only about half a dozen or so left.
I have re-loaded a couple of times but I was
wondering if this is a common/known error and as
such, whether there is a workaround or fix, or should
I just take it back and get another one?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Are the "disappearing" tracks mucis that was purchased from the iTunes Music Store... in other words, what's their provenance? -
IMac Freezing/crashing, please help. Tried everything! :(
Hello Fellow MacTalkers,
I am writing this post to ask you for a help with an issue that is very frustrating to resolve.
To begin with, I have purchased my MacBook Pro 2.4 GHZ, 3GB, Leopard running notebook about 7 months ago.
Until recently I have discovered that my computer is crashing randomly.
I am not a very tech oriented person, who knows much about console, logs and sorting out the hardware / software related issues.
About 2 months ago I started to experience some random freezes on my computer. Those freezes were occurring on different type of situations so it was hard for me to identify what could be causing the problem. The most common freezing that I have encountered, was and is that my computer screen just freezes and I can't perform any reset or rescue. Simply hard reset.
I started to think that this could be a cause of getting an extra 1GB memory that I purchased from Apple store, and that the memory could be faulty. But just to make sure I have done a clean re-instal of my os. making sure that I have all my permissions everything that could be a "common" cause of any weird behaviors on a mac sorted.
After the reinstall it got even worse.
I decided to take my computer to Apple authorized centre in Sydney broadway NextByte shop.
I explained the problem, asked if that would be possible to check some sort of console logs and track back what could be the cause of the problem that I am experiencing.
I left my computer for 2 weeks in service. And after that 2 weeks they have replied to me saying that they have detected no faulty with the hardware what so ever. I keep on persisting that I understand that the service people have done all the tests on external peripherals, checked the system performance through some kind of testing tools and it resulted with no problem. I rang the Apple complaints department asking if they could do anything about it as I am very worried that this issue won't disappear. They have informed me that there is nothing thay can do and they are basically sending my back home.
I collected my computer 2 days ago and started setting up some programs like adobe and all my apps. At first it was running all well, but then it started (leopard or hardware) to freeze again. On no particular occasion. I had to crashes in 3 hours.
I remembered the time of the crash and after the reboot, I checked my console and here is what I could find:
12/05/08 11:00:07 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (0x10b260.mdworker[1036]) Exited abnormally: Segmentation fault
I don't know if that is related to this post in any way, but as I said at the beginning I have no technical knowledge on where to investigate it further.
I would like to ask you for your recommendation on what should I do next.
I hope there is nothing that I am doing wrong with my computer as I am keeping it organized nad well maintained.
I thought also that that could be overheating related issue so I bought a notebook cooler, but that doesn't seemed to resolve the problem.
I am running out of ideas. Apple won't help me in solving the problem, I am also not sure how should I approach this case from the legal perspective. Can I go to fair traiding institution and ask them for help to enforce apple on returning my money for laptop, should I perform any tasks on my computer to fix the problem with some software.
Help, I am really running out of ideas. I am doing graphic design daily and this problem is driving me crazy.
I would appreciate your feedback or any suggestions on what should I do next.
Sorry for my cracked english. Im still learning my lingo in Australia
PLEASE PLEASE, help me on this one.
Kind Regards,
Michael Saganowski

Message was edited by: sgnwskFor what its worth, it sounds like the Leopard woes I was having before I left and went back to Tiger. I was in leopard for three months and I had too many problems to list here, but some common ones were Random system freezes/crashes (especially in itunes coverflow), Finder freezing, Adobe CS3 crashing and being generally buggy, not being able to run Final Cut Pro and After Effects at the same time.
My advice to you, check your memory if you feel like it could be the problem. If your memory is OK, then wait for the 10.5.3 update which is supposed to be out really soon (like within a couple of weeks or so from what I hear.) -

Dell Windows XPi tried reinstalling itunes, clicked the repair button, then it says that the bonjour service wasnt installed or something like that.
Was that the message from the following troubleshooting document?
"Bonjour service failed to start, verify you have sufficient privileges" error message when installing
... or is your one different? If it's different what is the precise text of your one? -
My computer keeps glitching up and freezing. Please help!
So yesterday my computer started blinking black with white marks on it. The only way to get out of the freeze was to restart it. This kept happening but at one point it started mirroring the wallpaper when it "highlighted" areas on the screen. It wont allow me to click on anything and when my sister went on it to her user, it did nothing. Also when it glitches up it makes rectangular white noise marks at random places and flashes black with the background. Please help me!!! Also I don't know what operaing system it is.
You have one of these.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2377
And there is nothing that can be done. Apple had a Recall on them but that is long over with. It only lasted 4 years from date of purchase.
About the only thing you can do is do a search for Baking a 2008 logic board. Or find an indepentant repair shop that can do basically the same thing. But that fix will only last so long before it starts to fail again.
There is LONG thread on it on this forum. Something like Failed Logic Board. Dating back a few years.
