Anyone else having this strange problem?

my brother bought this ipod mini a little over two years ago. my parents gave him a video one for his birthday and he gave me the mini. it would work perfectly, with no problems, until now. when i try turning it on, all it shows on the screen is the apple logo. and it flashes on and off. then the logo completely disappears forever, unless i press a button. then it comes back and does the same thing over. i tried to reset it but that doesnt respond at all. also if i connect it to the computer, it says charging and shows the battery halfway charged but thats it, it doesnt move from that. any help would be appreciated.

I am having a similar problem. I reset my i pod and connected it to my computer, but there was no response. The computer didnt show the i pod, and my music was never transfered back as it would be usually when you reset the i pod. after forgetting about it for a few days I tried to disconnect the i pod, [it had been charging, with a half full battery icon on the screen for two days] and it immediatly showed the apple, and then a battery exhaustion icon and the screen went blank. I am contemplating getting a new i pod altogether.

  • Anyone else having this Battery Problem?

    My battery is draining when my MBA is fully shut-down ( not just asleep) and unplugged. I turn it off with a 100% charge capacity and depending on how long I leave it it will have anywhere from 80% to empty 0%. Wondering if this is a common problem or unique to mine. I wonder if the people complaining of short run time are actually having this problem... hopefully a little more power in groups so Apple will address if it is a real issue.

    Firstly, I love my Macs. I bought my first one 5 months ago, a MBP in November, and am already on my 3rd unit and it has had to visit the Genius 2 times. But I still love the Mac platform ... for a non-computer person, it is a dream. I got the MBA a week after release and am now on my 2nd unit. Like the MBP, I love the computer but they are not perfect and I think the Apple Care is probably going to prove to be an essential purchase.
    My 2nd MBA seems pretty good - personally I think the battery charging and run-times are pathetic and I certainly agree with those who say a swappable battery would be nice. Phone tech support was all over the place on the MBA - I called at least 8 times before getting a replacement unit and tech aptitude varied widely - some saying they have had a lot of battery related calls, and others saying that hadn't heard about any battery issues. One tech, who was suppose to be a MBA Specialist took all my information, including mailing address and ended by saying that I definately had a battery issue and that she would overnight me a new battery that day. I told her that was a very nice offer of her, but what will I do with the new battery when I receive it? As well, the Tech at the Genius bar turned the unit over and tried to pop the battery out, he also couldn't find the ports or where to plug in the AC adaptor, so it indicates that these people were not being trained on the MBA. Still, if Apple stays persistant and reins in their quality control and support, they are looking at a great computer.

    Judging by the number of other threads on this, yes many people have been having Yahoo mail issues with push, and it appears to be on Yahoo's side, not Apple's.

  • My iphone 4s voice dictation for text messages is not consistently working. Sometimes it works, other times after the dictation it just gives me a blank space. Anyone else having this problem?

    My iphone 4s voice dictiation for text messages is not consistently working. I've had the phone since Thanksgiving and it always worked perfectly, but the last few weeks it's been hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyone else having this problem? I tried the hard reset but that hasn't fixed it.

    I have the same problem since updating to IOS 8.3. Any app to which I want to send a new link via IMessage does not allow me to select a contact to send the IMessage to. Using a pre-existing thread does not have same problem.

    Look at this comprehensive trouble shooting document;

    I suggest that you start with SMC and PRAM resets.

  • MSN's latest update is crashing Firefox many times per day. When I try to send the crash report to Firefox, it says it has trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting that can help?

    Firefox is crashing every time I have my MSN email account up. (Since I use it for business, that's many times per day.) It seems to coincide with hotmail's latest update where the email is checked and downloaded to the inbox automatically. Then when it asks me if I want to send the crash report to Firefox, I select yes and it tells me it had trouble sending the report. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting I can change? I can't seem to keep my email account up for more than 10 minutes.
    p.s if you're reading this Microsoft, it's still not bad enough to make me to go back to Internet Explorer!

    Hi,
    /Users/sarahschadek/Desktop/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
    Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
    Restart your Mac.
    That's why you see this:
    When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
    After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click:  Software Update ...

  • IPad with IOS 7 is suddenly unstable and crashes many times in a day. Had been very stable until 2 days ago no new apps added. Problem is worse on iPad 3 than on iPad 2. Anyone else having this problem? Possible answers or solutions?

    Two days ago my iPad 3 and IPad 2 started to crash very unexpectedly. Both iPads have wifi and cellular and both are running iOS 7.0.2. I will be working and suddenly the screen just wipes to black and then the big white Apple appears as if I have done a hard reset. The iPads always come back, but the crashes and unexpected app closures are happening with greater frequency. It happens more with the iPad 3 than with the iPad 2. Until two day ago both iPads had been very stable.  I don't keep a lot of apps open and I have plenty of GB of free space. I do hard resets after each event, doesn't help the situation. Did Apple do some kind of update to the OS in the last few days? I was just getting used to the new OS and this is very frustrating. Anyone else having this problem, have a possible answer or solution? Thanks for your help.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    the devices is not popping up in our itunes. is anyone else having this problem. can  you help me if you have the same problem

    Try rebooting the computer and restarting the device.
    Try a different cable.
    In rare cases fluff in the connector port can prevent proper contact with the connectors used to transfer data. An air duster or thin piece of card or plastic can be used to tease out debris if that is the problem.
