60GB iPod: all keys are always locked.

Hi there,
Just today I've received my new 60GB iPod and BOSE Sound Dock, with my with great anger and displeasure I have found that the all iPod keys are permanently locked and I'm not be able to unlock it using normal unlock commands.
I've tried to successfully restart it more and more times, using the lock-unlock-holding down the "menu" and central key for 6 secs sequence, without results; I've restored the default parameters using "iPod Updater 2005-11-17" appl, without results. The Mac USB connection is OK and I have correctly uploaded a lot of music. All the music are OK and play very well if I insert iPod into the BOSE Dock an control it by IR remote control.
I don't know what I can do more and so I need "... a little help from my frends..."
Thanks
Sisto

I had the same problem with my 4th generation iPod.
I fixed the problem by opening my iPod with a butter
knife and found the clickweel's connecter had come
loose inside. I simply slipped it back and
snapped the case back together. (This will, of
course, void the warranty.) I'm not sure if the 5th
generation is as easy to open and I do not want to
have to find out. Use your own digression. (I also
happen to be good with electronics.)

  • New 6th generation ipod - loaded my library onto the iPod  all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist.

    I have purchased a new 6th generation ipod and registered it with Apple- it has loaded all my library onto the iPod but when the library is displayed all songs are greyed out and I cannot add a playlist. Can anyone help me ?

    The content that you are viewing on your Nano via iTunes is grayed out since your iPod is set up for automatic syncing with your iTunes library.  If you want to be able to manually manage your contents (which is sounds like you are trying to do), you must enable the Manually manage music option from under your iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.

  • All projects are always open/workflow?

    Is it accurate that in FCP X all your projects are always open? You can't open just one at time? If that's true, that's just... well I don't want to use profanity.
    Isn't that a ridiculously inefficient use of memory and computing power? It's also forces a much less organized workflow and tons of visual clutter?
    One more question: Can I work on a FCP X project on a hard drive connected to my desktop, eject the drive and continue where I left off on my MacBook Pro... just like I frequently do in FCP 7?

    Hi Michael,
    I am experiencing a similar problem in the staffing dashboard. It is only displaying 5 resources (Resource Dashoard) and 5 projects (Staffing Dashboard). I think it has something to do with the level you are talking about. WHere do you configure that.
    Thanks,

  • Newly created files are always locked

    I have a small but annoying problem with Indesign. (Several, actually, but the one on my mind at the moment is...)
    Whenever I create a new document, it's always locked. I can't save changes to it, add it to a book, or do many other routine things with it. It doesn't matter what I do; I can close out of everything completely but when I re-open Indesign, the file is still locked.
    What I can do, which provides me with an easy workaround, is do a Save As..., delete the original document, and work with the one I created with the Save As. (Documents created by Save As don't seem to have this problem, only documents created by New => Document). After I do that, everything works as expected. For this reason, this problem isn't the end of the world, though it was pretty scary the first time it happened. But it's still an annoyance that strikes me as an obvious bug, and if anyone's got a diagnosis and a means of keeping it from happening in the first place, I'd love to hear it.

    Here's a post from a regular forum contributor that will explain:

  • Layers are always Locked

    Hello All:
    I am using Photoshop CS2 and whenever I open a .jpg , .gif or use my scanner and scan something into PS the layer always starts out locked.
    Is there a way to change this so it is not locked everytime?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    No, there isn't.
    Jpg is a flattened file format so the Background will always be locked by default. Double-click on the Layer thumbnail.
    Gif is Indexed Mode and flattened as well. Change to RGB and double-click on the Layer thumbnail.

  • My ipod update downloads are always interrupted about halfway through. I have no problem downloading anything else. Any solution?

    Can't download the ipod touch update. It keeps timing out about halfway through.  I don't have this problem downloading any other large files. Is this an issue with the ipod and/or software?

    Hi there,
    What gen device are you using?
    Disconect your Firewall or any security programme that could be blocking this download.
    If all else fails then totally uninstall iTunes and Apple mobile device support then reinstall it.
    Hope this helps!

  • Replying to all emails are always sent from the '1st' listed email

    Whenever I reply to an emails, choosing 'reply to all', I then change the 'from' address from specifically list my hotmail.com email account, when the emails get to the recipients, it always shows as being sent from the 1st listed email address configured on the iphone (in my case it is my gmail.com email.
    Someone sends me an email to my hotmail.com account. I click 'reply to all', or even 'forward', then click send, the email is received from my gmail.com email account. (I do not have anything setup between my hotmail/gmail accounts for the other (i.e. different 'reply to' addresses, etc..) on my iphone, nor within the actual email addresses either.
    Even if I change the 'from' address to specifically say from my hotmail.com account, it always comes as showing from my gmail.com address.
    This only occurs on my iphone. It does not occur when sending emails from outlook, nor hotmail's web-interface, so it must be an issue with the iphone configuration.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Can anyone help me?  I have a MacBook Air mini and I'm not sure which key or keys I need to click on to be able to unlock the keys ... I can't seem to click on anything because I think the keys are on lock mode.

    Please anyone help me please!

    If you don't have Time Machine or an External USB Hard Drive for Storage, I hate to say this but you may have to erase and re-install your Operating System.
    If you didn't empty the trash after you threw the Application Folder in the trash you can click on the trash and when it opens you can drag the Applications folder to the Desktop and drag and drop it back to the Mac HD.

  • 8900: All Keys + Trackball wont work.

    Hello,
    I have the 8900 and my carrier is Tata Docomo. None of the keys and the trackball are working, This includes the mute key on top of the phone, the lock key, the side push button keys , . .  all keys are not working. And neither is the trackball.
    I flashed the OS, as in reinstalled the OS, 5.0.090 (Platform 4.0.023) but that didnt solve the problem.
    I've also plugged out the media card, to avoid any conflicts.
    Have done hard resets of course, but thats not helped either.
    Except for the keys not functioning, the phone is otherwise functioning, I can recieve calls, which I of course cant pick up. I am being able to use it as a modem and connect to the internet using Desktop Manager. The Desktp manager is detecting the phone, too.
    The Desktop manager version I am using is 5.0.1.11.
    Out of the 252.5 M device space available, I have 131.0 M free.
    Please help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I found a solution...maybe 
    ok, so this same thing happened to my 8900 yesterday and after countless battery pulls, swaps etc. i finally just let  the thing drain itself out of battery. as soon as it had died, i plugged it back into the wall and pressed the power button. I don't know why this worked, but when the screen came back on i could use all my buttons and trackball again! I suggest you try that, might sound stupid but it worked for me!  
    --hope that helps

  • 60GB iPod locks up

    Hello,
    I use my ipod in my car exclusively via USB and I have noitced that over the last year, my ipod will just lockup for days when it hits around track #900.  It did it again today at about track #940.  I have a 201 Acura MDX and I have had the dealer check to make sure the USB coonections are fine and they are.  My ipod software is current as is the Gracenote database in my car.
    I am thinking this might be a batter issue since the ipod is alwasy plugged in to USB and therefore charging all the time.
    Any help would be great because this is getting annoying.
    Thanks

    I tried all of these options as well. I had a black 60GB iPod up until about an hour ago. I returned it to BestBuy for a full refund. I am waiting for a new shipment to come in to buy again.. definately got a defective one. If it still locks up after you fix it you've got major problem...go back to the retailer or Apple before time runs out.

    When you do a full bootable clone using either SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner does it copy contents of the Trash? Since its a "clone" I would image it would. But I can not find the trash on my ext. HD. If it does clone the trash where is it?
