80GB VIDEO IPOD STARTED MALFUNCTIONING IN 6 VERY UNUSUAL WAYS! PLEASE HELP!

I just got an 80GB iPod yesterday, and it's already giving me trouble. It's cutting off, giving me "sad faces", not turning on/off, making weird beeping noises and a few minutes ago it picked up a popular local radio station completly on it's own. As well as it is skipping and songs are only playing backwards and they start on they're own, even when it's turned off it turns it's self back on. It has not been abused or mistreated and has recieved perfect care. Please help!

check this out. u received the ipod yesterday, which means u have a 14-day grace period to exchange it 4 a new one! : )
it would be easiest done thru an apple store. so make sure 2 bring ur receipt and the original ipod box with everything in it.
i tell u that cuz the apple store told me the same thing tonight. haha.
good luck! : )

  • 30 GB Video IPOD will not play the songs...PLEASE HELP!!!

    My 30 GB Video IPOD just stopped playing the songs. You can move easily through the menu, select a song, and press the play button, but the song will not play (the time bar doesn't move at all). It's as though it is frozen...it never moves from 0:00. Every other aspect of the unit is working...but the songs. Can someone help???

    Been through these?

  • My 30GB video ipod keeps hanging up, im using mac osx (PLEASE HELP)

    i just got my ipod, a few weeks ago, it keep wanting to restore, and i ignored it for a week and when i connected it to my macbook the icons were black and white and it had to restore, so i did and i put all my music back on it, when i went to play a song it started, then it stoped, and there was a clicking noise coming from the ipod, ive tried the 5r's and they havent helped, my battery is completely full.
    please help

    You've done everything that's reasonable for an almost-new iPod. If I were in your position, I'd take advantage of the warranty. If you're in the U.S., call 800-275-2273.

  • Very unusual problem, please help

    Hi. I have CS4 and use an iMac with an Epson R1900 printer.  Here's my problem:  Every time I print a picture, the picture comes out with a textured background.  For example, I'm attempting to print a picture of a flower with a green background.  The picture  prints such that the background is textured (just as if I had applied a texture filter) but the the flower comes out just fine with no texturing.  This just started last night and I don't know whether I hit some sort of setting by mistake but it is frustrating the heck out of me.  I've tried printing several images and they all come out the same.  The main subject comes out fine but the background is textured or patterned.  Can anyone help me?
    My guess is somehow the program is corrupted.  Now I still have PS3 installed too (never uninstalled it when installing CS4)  and tried printing a picture.  The exact same results; textured/patterned background.  Has anyone ever had this problem before?  Appreciate any help you can give.

    Well Jeff, you were right.  I printed a test page last night and it seemed to have no problems.  Once I read your post I reprinted another page and sure enough, the yellow and black nozzles were not right.  Although they weren't completely empty, I replaced those cartridges and ran through some cleanings.  The prints then came out correctly.  The way the picture printed really threw me.  I thought these were patterns or textures but they were just due to clogged nozzles.
    Thanks for your help.  I really really appreciate it.  From now on I will definitely check the nozzels before printing especially if the printer has been standing idle for a while.  Lesson learned.  Thank you.

  • Error message when connecting 80GB Video iPod

    I'm getting this error message when trying to connect my 80GB Video iPod:
    "The iPod (name) cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)."
    Never seen this one before.
    I haven't synced this iPod for a few weeks but it always behaved fine before, taking a few seconds to appear in iTunes (v7.5) then syncing perfectly when I hit the Sync button (I have it set to manually sync only because sometimes I want to change the contents or only sync music).
    Before syncing on this occasion, I did an iPod software update via iTunes - iTunes said there was a newer version (1.2.3). After the update, I disconnected the iPod for a few minutes (somehting I wanted to check content before syncing), then reconnected it. At first iPod took about a minute to show up in iTunes - way too long. I Reset the iPod and tried again but still LONG delay to appear in iTunes (again about 1 minute). I did another Reset - same result. Then I did a complete Restore, after which syncing to restore the contents gave problems - it refused to finish the sync. I had to disconnect and start again, syncing the data one section per sync session - Contacts, music, videos, iCal - which seemed to work fine. Then I disconnected, waited a few minutes then reconnected the iPod to check. It wouldn't connect at all. Did a Reset, tried o connect again and it did connect but then proceeded to resync all my contacts taking almost 30 minutes (way too long) to do so (I had made NO changes in Address Book since that data was put in there). I tried to reconnect again but then got the error message (above). Did another total Restore and the same shenannigans happened. Now, I have an iPod with data on it and works fine, but iTunes won't recognise it - just gives this error message every time.
    By the way, my 8GB Nano (software 1.1.3) seems to sync fine on the same system, same computer.
    Could this be the 1.2.3 iPod software giving issues? I appreciate any help because I also use this iPod for recording for my work, which getting a little urgent now.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks Zevoneer, but no real success. I did all that but when I tried to sync after it, it got partially through the sync (about 10% I'd guess) and presented an error message saying that the disk couldn't be read form or written to (sorry but I forgot the error number). I disconnected the iPod, waited a few minutes then reconnected and again got the message but then the ipod continued to finish the sync, even though almost all of the music and 2 of my 4 videos didn't go over to the iPod. I'm now thinking that this just isn't satisfactory reliability from the device since I use it a lot in my work and rely on it. But this new iPod is only a few months old, had very little use and only made about 12 recordings - In comparison, I've used the Nano heaps but now want to move over to the bigger one, basically for more capacity and bigger screen for video. I wonder if it's a hard drive failure in this iPod?

  • 80GB Video iPod - Shuffling playlist?

    I have 2 iPods,
    8GB nano shuffles tracks inside a playlist by default.

    Please help.

    Hello.
    I have found a temporary work around the iPod playlists not recognizing videos. I too think this a really big problem. I just did not realize just how bit it was!
    I use mine to pass thew time whil I workout at the Gym.
    This is my temeporary soulution util apple fixes the problem.
    I used a video editing software Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 because I am just descovering QuickTime.
    I have copied my desired videos into the Adobe program.
    I then export the one video made up of many videos using MPEG4.
    I Then use the quick Time Player Pro to convert the MPEG4 video to iPod.
    I then Sync my iPod to my computer.
    I create the lenght of the video time I desire for my workout which is between 45 minutes to one hour.
    I have created various videos.
    This is in no way as good as the playlist but it is certainly much better than the present sintuation.
    PS: I hope Apple fixes this problem soon!
    If anyone needs some help with this you can email me at [email protected]
    Thank you.

    Take it to an Apple store genius bar to have the techs see what your options are for repair/replacement.  An out-of-warranty replacement is $149 in the US for the iPhone 4.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    Hi JimHdk,
    I have also upgraded to ios6.1.3, and facing same wifi connecting problem, after upgrade my iphone3gs is not connecting to my laptop shared wifi, which was working perfect with ios6.1.2,
    and its not an hardware error, its software error, crippy apple does not test their releases which causes problem to users.
    Updates:
    Earlier wifi connection which i was using on my Iphone 3gs, was WPA2, which was shared from my laptop via "Microsoft virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter", was working perfectly till ios6.1.2, but when i have upgraded my iphone 3gs to ios6.1.3, my iphone 3gs became unable to join wifi,
    Today I have created "adhoc network"  on my laptop using "Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n"(default wifi adapter of my laptop), and kept security type "WEP", and found my wifi working fine with my iphone 3gs,
    So if someone using LAN internet on their laptop, they can share their LAN internet to use on their ios devices, via creating an 'adhoc network',
    How to create an 'Adhoc Network',
    choose Security Type : WEP (compatible with ios6.1.3)

    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
