60GB Video having repeated issues...

I've had this problem for awhile. I've finally decided to post here in order to get a straight answer, because it's going to cost me upwards toward $300 to get my iPod fixed by Apple (it would be cheaper- and easier- to just buy a new one, but I don't want to).
Anyway, my iPod works fine when it's working, but after a half-hour or so of playing time, it freezes during a song, or skips a bunch of songs, and becomes unresponsive. I have to restart it by holding down the center & Menu buttons. However, when I do this, it gives me an error message in four different languages that says "Connect iPod to computer, Use iTunes to restore" or something to that effect. I found out rather quickly that this does not solve the problem, and just takes up some of my time.
In order to TEMPORARILY resolve the problem, I hold down the center & Menu buttons several times, sometimes alternating with the center & Play buttons (which puts the iPod into disk mode, then takes it out). This process can take anywhere from two minutes to half an hour, and is getting very irritating.
Does anyone have the same problem, and/or any solutions? Thank you.

Do you have the current software on the Ipod?? Also run the Diagnostics for the Ipod under the Help menu in Itunes. See what it gives you back as possible ways to troubleshoot your ipod. It may be that your software is corrupted and may it may not be able to be restored because of that. Restore can only solve some software issues and not all.

  • Anyone else having repeated wifi connectivity issues with the OSX version 10.8.5?

    I just updated the software on my iMac to OS X version 10.8.5. Now I am having repeated connectivity issues with the wifi in my house. This is the only device that is having these issues. My phone, ipad and tv are not having any problems at all.
    It happened immediately following the update. I was sending emails and browsing before the update without a problem.
    from apple:

    I had a message like that last week - only it asked what browser I would be using - I just quit safari - purges caches etc - and at that time noticed I was getting RSS feeds through PUBSUB - tracking them down to the top sites view I never use - I deleted all of the top sites (most of which I don't go into so it must have been a preset) that included MSN and Google - I don't use google so that was pointless.  (deleting a top site means you are blocking it from that page)    Have not had the message since so it must have had something to do with top sites activity.
    Just a note:  Did see somewhere probably BBC tech - that Google was going to stop supporting older web browsers.

  • Why am I NOW having major issues watching YouTube videos using WiFi vs Ethernet?

    Why am I having major issues watching YouTube videos when the cable modem is connected to Airport Extreme, but they work flawlessly if my computer is connected directly to the modem? Comcast is the internet provider. 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo is the iMac. Getting the dreaded "This video is currently unavailable" OR "An error occurred. Please try again later." I swap back and forth... it's unbelievable. Videos that give errors over WiFi play fine when hooked up via ethernet.

    If your wireless connection is slow, video streaming will stutter or fail completely. The wireless connection can be slow if there are other wireless networks in your area, all competing for the same limited number of wireless channels.
    If you have a fairly new Extreme, you can use 5 GHz. Your iMac is capable of using it, and this will mitigate the effects of wireless interference.
    Keep one thing in mind - if in the course of troubleshooting you have been routinely disconnecting and reconnecting your Extreme and the iMac to your modem - "swapping back and forth" as you described - be sure to power down the modem first. Most cable modems will refuse to communicate with a different device, until after you reset it by powering it down. If you want to compare wired speeds to wireless, connect your iMac to one of the Extreme's LAN ports instead, and turn off the iMac's wireless in its WiFi menu. Its speed should be nearly identical to that you will have by connecting it directly to the modem. Swapping connections in this manner does not require a power down cycle.

  • Photoshop CC(2014) is having "redraw" or video driver/GPU issues

    Since upgrading my Mac to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), after a working on a file or two, my photoshop image window looks like this:
    This is a JPG, after I have opened a RAW file, with Camera Raw 8.7 beta (happened before the Camera Raw
    update), and make my adjustments, and save.  Everything seems fine, the jpg preview looks fine, but after working
    on about 3 images, EVERY jpg opens and looks something like this.  I can see parts of other recent images
    in the garbage as well, and the image changes drastically when I zoom in and out.
    I already posted to the Adobe forums, and someone suggested it might be a video driver/GPU issue with the new OS X.
    Any suggestion?

    An Adobe employee in the online community had me turn off "Use Graphics Processor" in the photoshop/prefs/performance,
    and that worked.  Not a total fix, since I can't use that now, and something is clearly not compatible, but at lease I can use
    Photoshop.

  • What is a packet problem? I'm having sound issues.

    I'm at my wit's end. I am having sound issues. I've run diagnostic tests and everything comes back as OK, but it's not OK! Something somewhere is messed up and I can't figure it out.
    I have been to the help rooms on paltlak and opened up support tickets and everything they told me to try has not helped. They suggested I change the sound tuning on my chat program, change exceptions on my firewall, uninstall and reinstall chat program, uninstall and install earlier version, download drivers for sound card, and etc. Nothing is helping this problem.
    Someone mentioned that it may be router problems or packet problems. I'm not sure what that means, and that is why I'm on this forum asking for help. I have no other sound problems on my computer. My music and videos play fine. It's just when I'm in a voice enabled chat, do I experience these problems, or if I'm on a website that has videos, the video will not load all the way, so I only get 30 seconds of a video. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
    I have used this chat service for over 5 years and up until a week or so ago, it worked fine. I did a complete reformat of my computer in hopes that it would help, but I'm still having the same problems. I lose sound within 5 seconds of entering the chat room. Then it takes between 3-5 minutes before I hear sound again, but then I only hear it for a few seconds. Then it goes away for another few minutes. Repeat. Over and over again.
    I'm running Windows Vista on an Acer Aspire 380 with wireless cable modem. I keep losing sound in any voice/sound enabled chat and on any site that has videos. I have 1gig of ram, 300 gb hard drive, 32 bit operating system, 2 processor cores, directx version 9, realtek sound card. Everything is up to date, and firmware is up to date. My speed test is: download: 6.162 mbps and upload: 926 kbps.
    When I do the ipconfig/all, it shows
    Tunnel adapter local aera connection* 6: Media State: Media disconnected
    description: teredo tunneling pseudo-interface
    dhcp enabled: no
    autoconfiguration enabled: yes
    I don't know if this has anything to do with my sound issues on the chat program or not. ??
    Also shows:
    node type: hybrid
    dhcp enabled: yes
    autoconfiguration enabled: yes
    default gateway: 192.168.1.1
    dhcp server: 192.168.1.1
    netbios over tcpip: enabled
    If by chance it is a packet problem, how do I fix that?

    Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it just started recently and after not being able to fix the problem, I completely reformatted my computer and started with a fresh slate, but still having the same problems. The videos will not continue to load. They get less than half way and then just totally stop loading, therefore I only get to view the video up to the point where it stops loading. I just took your advice and I disconnected the router and connected my computer directly to the modem and my sound issues were fixed. I went into the voice chat and had sound for over 10 minutes (and then I disconnected) instead of the usual 5 seconds that it'd been. So is it the linksys that is causing this? If so, how can I fix it? Thank-you. Message Edited by nightrider7000 on 01-22-2008 11:34 AM

  • Audio doesn't match video because repeated half way through

    Hi guys,
    I am currently editing videos from my Canon SLR with Adobe Premiere Elements (Windows).
    In the same project, I have only uploaded videos taken the same day with the same equipment. I have been able to process them all normally apart from one. For some reason, when I play this file with a basic video player, everything works fine but when I import it in the Adobe software and play it either through the small window or in the timeline, I have the same problem:
    Everything works fine (audio and video in sync), until it reaches a specific point (totally random as far as I can tell) when the video keeps going but suddenly the sound repeats itself from the beginning of the file (and the audio which would correspond to the video is replaced by it). For you to understand better the problem:
    Video:   ABCDEF
    Audio:   ABCABC
    I have tried opening it in a different project and somehow it happens exactly at the same point.
    I am totally clueless of what it comes from and getting really frustrated!
    Any idea?
    Cheers
    Babs

    Hello, I'm new to using forums like this.  Is it appropriate for me to post that I'm having the same issue?  Also sounds similar to Audio doesn't match video because repeated half way through as well.
    My situation is:
    Win7 64-bit, i7 920, 2.67GHz, 8GB RAM
    Multiple Nikon D7000 video clips I've taken play back fine except for the following clip.  In Windows Media Viewer, I have no problem, but in PE10, in the timeline editor, this clip repeats the audio from the beginning starting about 6 minutes into the video.  I have Quicktime version 7.7.5 installed which I noticed was mentioned as a possible culprit in the other thread.
    I've been using my camera primarily for stills, but decided to have my mom tell her story before she wasn't able to.  I'm so frustrated with this problem because I know the audio is just fine since I can play it back synchronized throughout the entire clip in WMV.  I've tried cleaning out PE caches as best I can figure them out and created new projects without any better luck.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm open to getting a new version of PE or another program if I could believe that I wouldn't run into this issue again.  This seems like such a vanilla problem since all my other clips seem to be fine and this one does too on WMV.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.  I don't really know where else to go to figure this out.

  • Is anyone else having these issues?

    I have a 60GB Video iPod and am having a few issues.
    1. While playing music at random times the iPod will restart. I'll be half way or so through a song (doesn't matter what song its completely random), and it will go to the black screen with the apple.
    2. When I am navigating through the menus and the back light is on the battery metre shoots down. Once the backlight goes off it comes back up.
    3. When I choose a menu there is a slight delay before the menu actually changes.
    4. Sometimes I'll go into an artist menu then go back to the artists menu and the band name I was just in sticks in the title bar where the word "Artists" should be.
    5. When a song finishes the next one will start playing but there is a delay before the title of the new song shows up on the Now Playing screen.
    These all seam to be software issues, but I'm wondering if I got a dud iPod or if Apple just needs to make a iPod Update.

    You may want to ry a restore to correct many of them...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    Sometimes the iPod is loading something or the HD is busy, causing a small delay, like you describe in 3 and 5

  • Video Card overheating issue

    I'm having issues with my intel based iMac. Whenever I play World of Warcraft, I am having overheating issues with my video card. I get weird graphical errata, slowdown, freezing, and system crashes because of it. I have tried capping the fps through console command, downloaded an application to raise the minimum RPMs on my fans, and set up a boxfan behind my iMac.
    Where are the air-intakes on the 24" iMac? I would like to try using a can of compressed air, in case it is clogged by dust or lint.
    What further steps can I take if that doesn't work? If I take it to my nearest AASP, can it still be repaired under warranty, assuming it's a hardware issue?
    intel iMac 24"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   2.16 GHz intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, 667MHz Bus Speed, 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Run the hardware test that came with your machine:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303081
    If nothing is detected, it is likely your problem is the RAM.
    If something is detected, take it to the AASP and have them repair what is detected.
    If the program you are using is PowerPC based, upgrade it to an Intel based program. That may solve the problem.

  • Encore 1.5 video in background issue

    I am using Encore DVD 1.5 Build 1.5.0.41656 and am having an issue when adding video to a menu.  When I Ctrl and drag the video file from the Poject tab to the menu screen, it adds the video as it should.  HOWEVER, in doing so it deletes a layer out of my menu!  I start with 9 layers in my menu.  Then I Ctrl and drag the video file to that menu, and as soon as the "first bright frame" appears, on of those 9 layers literally disappears, not only from the visible menu screen, but also from the layers tab.  What is going on?!  Help please!
    I'm sorry --- Alt not Ctrl!!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Now, I do not have En 1.5, but your opertion is as I do it in En 2.0. The Motion Asset comes in as the Background (Background in PS) Layer, and replaces the "black" Background of the Menu without the Motion Asset.
    Tell us more about your Menu. What is its Background in PS?
    Does En 1.5 have a Layers Panel in the Menu Editing Pane? As you drag your Motion Asset, does the Background Layer change, or do you see another Layer/Layer Set disappear?
    Good luck,

  • Mac Pro 2008 having boot issues...

    Hi,
    My Mac Pro is having boot issues,It occasionally gets stuck when I turn it on and the fans go up a bit then I just get a grey screen, sometimes just shutting down and restarting works and sometimes not. I repaired the disc though it says has no issues and repaired permissions. It still does it. if I hold down the option key and boot and select my system drive then it boots fine. Once up and running everything seems fine it wakes from sleep no problem but after a shutdown it sometimes will not boot, it's almost 50 50 chance at this point that it does not boot. I can try booting off and older back up and see if it happens. I do have two video cards and 12 gigs of ram but not sure when this started to happen but it seems to be happening more often lately.
    The Mac Pro warranty is over, taking it in for service is not an option at this point. I will install Snow Leopard on a new drive and see if it still happens as a test.

    88 * C is HOT
    Hard drives are not much of an issue, even 4, though I don't like now that WD Black tend to run 40-42C.
    I recommend everyone run SFC regardless. It should be a REQ'D background app!!!
    That and Temperature Monitor  or iStatPro.... but on the whole only use the minimum and no duplication, not even for checking SMART health status. "less is more" or the olde "too many cooks" approach - your system runs better, even faster, and less trouble.
    Kicking the fans up 400 rpm makes a significant change in temps. But of course if it is
    Hutch
    Pushed in corer
    Up against wall
    No air flow
    Direct sunlight
    .... can't help much or enough

  • DMM -- Video Portal Setup issue

    Hello,
    I'm working with V5.0 of Video Portal but I had some troubles with the set up once I took the equipment to my customer's facilities to give them a demo. So I found out that the best way to carrect that is restoring servers to defaults. DMM appliance has a recovery CD but VP appliance does not. I already restored DMM but I can not do the same with VP and I am still having some issues.
    I would appreciate if somebody has some suggestion.
    Thanks
    Roberto Guzmán.

    To rectify this issue follow the steps :
    Step 1 Log in, select DMM_Control, then press Enter.
    Step 2 To restore DMM, select RESTORE_DMM, press Enter, then do one of the following:
    To restore from a backup on a USB drive, select USB, then press Enter.
    To restore from a backup on a video portal appliance, select VIDEO_PORTAL, then press Enter.
