At the end of my rope

I've been having the same problem for about three days now.
Everything was going just fine, other than little intervals of freezing here and there, and sudden--BOOM!
I keep getting the little sad ipod guy (who looks car sick to me), or the half charged battery. Why it keeps saying the battery is low when I've been charging it for two days is beyond me. I've reset it dozens of times, restarted my computer, got the new updater (which does nothing; it won't let me update or restore my ipod).
It seems I've tried everything and nothing is working. Help please!

I would be interested in knowing how others are solving this prob?? Is it just coincidence that I have had my ipod for a year and did not re-up my applecare protection on it when I received an email from apple recently.
Anyway, the problem with my ipod is similar. I know it is/was charged and while trying to use it with earphones plugged in, it would play a song or two and then quit. This also has happened with an itrip plugged in. If I connect the ipod to a power source, it would go back to working, generally for as long as I used it. Today it kept quitting and I would get it back to working and after the third time I stopped. Then I tried to update or restore, following the steps on the apple page. When the computer was recognizing the ipod it would not let me select it as a location to update. Now I can't even get anything up on the ipod!!!??? ***!!!!!! Someone help.....

  • 6.0.5.20, at the end of my rope

    I installed 6.0.5.20 and it has not allowed my 5G or Nano to connect to iTunes. All I get is the message: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not istalled correctly. Please reistall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
    I've tried reinstalling it. I've tried removing and reinstalling it, I've tried the McAfee firewall (it has full access to iTunes), I've tried the Quicktime standalone install, I've tried the MSCONFIG setting, I've tried removing iPod updater 2006-28-06, I've tried sending an e-mail to Apple. I can't restore my iPod, because now I get an "iPod service error" when I try to run any updater, new or old. Absolutely nothing has worked.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I'm at the end of my rope with this.

    Ok, I solved my problem. Here's what I did: I went through all the steps in the article linked above and nothing seemed to work. Part of those steps has you remove iPod stuff from your computer. I would follow the steps for "Removing iTunes." From what I could figure out, it was the iPodService.exe that was causing my problem because it would never show up under the "Processes" menu in the Task Manager. I downloaded version 6.0.4 from oldapps.com. Then I reloaded my iPod software from the CD that came in the box, my Nano had iPod update 3-26-06 on it. When I opened iTunes, everything worked fine. My God it took forever to get that done. I've been working on this for a week.

  • Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

    You probably don't really need 1080 at 60 for your finished projects but since you're just starting out with Motion, you need to lower your expectations. A long way. 1080 is about 2 million pixels per frame, DV is only about 400,000. That's not just five times as many pixels for the Mac to track; everything in video is exponential.
    Explore the training tutorials available by Mark Spencer. You will get an idea of how his super powerful machine reacts with the software.
    Adding a light roughly doubles the processing time over flat scenes. Two lights increases processing again. Reflections require processing the lights and then calculating the reflections so add another quarter of the time required for flat scenes. Add camera movement, motion blur, and depth of field and you need exponentially more processing time for every frame. The preload of renders into RAM is one of the cooler features of Motion, as comapred to After Effects, but that takes tons of time, to.
    Try working in ye olde DV resolution for a few days. Get to know the software's limitations and what gets imposed by your Macintosh. Step up to 720p/30 and see how things slow down.

  • At the end of my rope with recent upgrade

    I just bought the recent upgrade it's 2.0.1. Anyways before I bought it and updated my ipod everything worked perfect. My favorite thing to do was sit outside on the ipod surfing the net. Well now that I updated it I can not get online. I can connect to my wifi which works no problem as I am on a computer right now using wifi but I can not access the net, youtube, itunes anything at all. If I am lucky I can load apple.com or gmail.com but that is it. If I click on a link it will not load another page. I have googled like no tomorrow to fix this and nothing has worked. Here is what I have tried.
    - Reset by holding down home and power
    - Taking off all applications I had downloaded and doing a complete restore putting the ipod back to factory settings and then syncing minus the apps as the apps and the 2.0.1 is the only things new on my ipod.
    - I have tried messing with the settings under the connection on the ipod as suggested in some sites I found.
    - I have tried changing my secruity settings on the modem, unplugged modem and reset modem even though modem has nothing to do with it since I still get online on my computer.
    - I have tried forgetting network and refinding it, I have also tried renewing it.
    I am so fed up. I want whatever was on it before 2.0.1 back since I could get on the internet then. I bought the ipod back in december so support will do nothing for me if I called them.
    Please Help!! I am ready to throw the thing out the window.

    I understand that you are trying to help. I came to realize that it must be a sig or something that automatically attaches at the end as it is no longer in more of the thread it is always at the bottom of the thread. I am so fed up with this stupid thing. I have tried everything it seems and everything mentioned in this thread. I got the IPod beside me to try each new suggestion. I can't go to an apple store as we do not have one here. I am ready to call apple and force them to deal with this in the morning. I got enough on plate I don't need this added stress even as minor as it is in the big picture.

  • No Sound Device/Playback Device --At the end of my rope

    First let me state that I've tried several methods to fix my problem already, and none appear to help or work, I've followed the advice given by several others, and I'm really not sure what I can do at this point. I even bought a new Soundcard thinking it would solve the problem...but it has not.
    If I were to go into Device Manager right now, Windows detects TWO Audio Devices:
    Soundblaster Xi-Fi Extreme Audio
    Vinyl AC '97 Codec Combo Driver (WDM)
    The latter I can easily disable in BIOS on Startup, but this does not help me one bit.
    I have checked my Sounds and Audio Devices:
    No Audio Device/No Playback Device/Sound Recording is Soundblaster/Midi is Creative SoundFont Synth/No Voice Playback/Voice Recording is Soundblaster.
    I have checked my Services (Local):
    Windows Audio Service is "Started" and set to Automatic?
    I have checked other media devices and get errors regarding "Direct Sound" or "Wave Out".
    Regarding the programs related to my drivers, I have tried to uninstall them and reinstall them in Safe Mode but this has not helped. In particular one of the programs VIA Audiodeck (related to my onboard audio) cannot seem to find certain files to uninstall itself, aside from the fact it couldn't run when I installed it in the first place. (In part I'm looking for a free program that can uninstall stuff that can't be uninstalled the usual way).
    Finally I've discovered I'm getting errors in trying to check for Windows Updates (even though I have Service Pack 3 now). Windows Automatic Updates says it's "On" but doesn't show up.
    I don't really know what the root of my problem is, as I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers several times (even attempted to?clean up the registry from leftover fragments). I've used programs like Belarc Advisor and Driver Scan but these don't tell me what to do or how to proceed. I'm at my wit's end here.

    I'm not sure what anyone here can do
    Nothing. These are user to user forums, of which Apple employees do not take part in.
    Does anyone know who I can EMAIL about this,
    Nobody...Apple does not offer email support/correspondence. Call support and ask immediately to speak to customer relations.

  • Please help find driver, at the end of my rope with this ca

    I purchased a used soundcard from a computer repair shop near here a few months back. The sound card did not come with an installation CD. So i was pretty much left on my own to find drivers for it. Ive got a good many years experience building pcs so i figured this wouldnt be a problem. How WRONG i was lol. After being unable to find drivers for it originally I finally gave up and put the card in a static protection bag i had laying around and havent thought about it much since then just counted it as a loss. Now im back at it trying again to find drivers to get this card to work.
    The following is every bit of information i feel applicable to this sittuation, however if anymore infos needed please let me know and ill try to provide it.
    My operating system= windows XP with SP2
    The following is off the card itself. (which says its a creative sound blaster Li've!)
    Theres an inkstamp on the uppper left hand corner of the non chipset side that reads
    32AMN08B 853
    94v-0 k
    (backwards RJ looking symbol)e9697 3999
    Serial number= m48309402990
    Model number= CT4830
    Steps i've taken so far are i originally went to the creative search function and looked for the drivers on their site it gave me a link to two files which i downloaded.
    This is the link where i downloaded the following files
    http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=&nRegionFK=&nCountryFK=& nLanguageFK=&sOSName=Windows+XP&region=&Product_Na me=Li've%2&Product_ID=4857&modelnumber=&driverlang =033&OS=0&drivertype=0&x=26&y=
    And this of course is the two files i got.
    . Li'veDrvPack_Patch.exe
    2. Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe
    File number one has a warning as follows:
    (This is an update patch, it is not a complete driver installation. You must have the previous Li'veDrvPack.exe (SBLW-XPWEB-W3-US), posted July 7,2002. in your system if you wish to use this patch.)
    Ive searched the site i cant find this file (SBLW-XPWEB-W3-US) after searching through the forums a bit i found this thread http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=25677&vie w=by_date_ascending&page=
    Which had lists of ISOs for all the different installation CDs. I downloaded everything i seen on filefront (http://hosted.filefront.com/BadBoyforum) badboy had posted that had LIVE in the name. These include the following ISOs.
    . SB Audigy & Li've!.iso
    2. SB Li've! 5. (SB0228).iso
    3. SB Li've! 5. (SB0229).iso
    4. SB Li've! 24bit.iso
    I mounted each image in daemon tools and attempted to install and recieved the following error
    ERROR= Setup could not detect any sound blaster audio card on your system. Please ensure that your sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will now exit.
    Im kindve at a loss as how to proceed. Ive tryed looking through driverguide.com and a few other generic driver sites without much luck. If anybody at all has any suggestions on this id be very appreciati've. Like i said its a used card so it could be an OEM but it appears to be an ODM but who knows im by no means an expert on all this. I may have missed one of the LIVE isos off that filefront site but i dont think so. The only one i see thats left is the external one and its an internal card so i dont see how that could be right.

    I patched it and it said it was successful. when i ran each successi've setup it still didnt detect any soundblaster hardware.
    I also went to compaq and tryed a driver i found there without any luck. Im thinking at this point it is an OEM
    Although i still dont understand how you got compaq from the model number, im going to continue looking around their site.
    Maybe ill luck out but so far im about to the point im ready to throw this @#$%@%#@$@##@$#@$% thing away lol.
    Im looking on driver guide now again. :Sighs This is so aggrivating Normally i wouldnt have bought a card without the drivers but
    my wifes the one that got it and she didnt know. Oh well......
    You can get the model information from here.
    You can also try by installing kX drivers -> if kX package don't get installed, your card may have some problems.

  • At the end of my rope with phone support.

    I'm not sure what anyone here can do, but I need somplace to share this with. Its extremely frusturating.
    Less than a month ago, I purchased my first iMac. It was a slightly older model- a 20" Aluminum 2.0ghz machine. It was purchased from a re-seller and had obviously been sitting on the shelf for a while. I know that the warranty date starts from the purchase date of the re-seller; there is a form to fill out if it needs to be changed to your actual purchase date. In a situation like mine, where the computer had been in the store for around a year, this was essential if I wanted any kind of phone support.
    I filled out these forms, faxed a copy of the receipt to the number I was supposed to, and assumed everything would be fine. Within 24 hours, Boot Camp managed to screw up the OS X partition of my hard drive. I needed to make several calls to customer support, where I had to argue with all of them due to the purchase date update taking up to 72 hours to go through. After several phone calls, where I had to explain my situation 15 times and wait on hold for 45 minutes while they found out that it takes 72 hours for the change to go through, and after literally 5 hours of driving to my nearest Apple stores until someone was willing to help me with the problem even though I was "out of warranty" (Reminder- I had purchased this computer 2 days prior. New, off the shelf in the store. It absolutely should've been under warranty.) I was finally able to get the computer fixed.
    Today, I figured I'd check on the status of my purchase date switch, so the next time something goes wrong with my computer I don't have to battle with tech support to get them to listen to my problem. I entered the serial number in the warranty info page, and it tells me:
    *Our records indicate that your product is covered under a custom contract. For more information about your coverage, please contact us.*
    *Your product is not eligible for complimentary phone support.*
    When I click "contact us," the only thing that would be able to potentially help me out is the Apple Customer Service phone number. I don't feel like calling and having someone with a medium-thick accent repeat back to me what they understood my issue to be 5 times until they finally get it right. I would love to write it out so someone can just re-read it if they don't wrap their mind around it the first time.
    I don't see why I should have to argue my case. I went to an Apple Authorized Reseller, swiped my credit card, and walked out with a new iMac. No, it's not the newest model, but its still new. That's money that just went in Apple's pocket, because of my purchase. There is absolutely no reason why it should be this big of a struggle just to get the warranty that I deserve. I don't feel like I'm being unreasonable or out of line in any way.
    Does anyone know who I can EMAIL about this, or am I going to have to put up with the non-help I get on the phone? They're going to tell me that they can't help me out, because I'm supposedly not covered for phone support anymore. Ugh. Please help.

    I'm not sure what anyone here can do
    Nothing. These are user to user forums, of which Apple employees do not take part in.

  • IPhoto spinning ball - at the end of my rope

    I can't get iPhoto to load. Every single thing I've tried results in the spinning ball of death.
    I've tried:
    rebuilding the library
    creating a new library on another drive
    using iPhoto Library Manager rebuild
    restoring the picture library from a back up made before I was having problems with it.
    rebuilding thumbnails
    removing the .plist and .lock file
    creating a new 'empty' library and that locked up too.
    Nothing is working and I'm very frustrated.
    I've got several gig of space on the drive, so space shouldn't be an issue.
    I downloaded Picasa and tried using that, but it locks up, too. What the heck is going on?
    I don't know what else to do. I'm thinking I'll have to move all my photos, years worth of them, folder by folder and just put them on another drive and delet iPhoto and start all over again. I don't know if I'd lose any meta data of the pictures if I did that.
    Looking for some help, please.

    That suggests that an external or 3rd party software is causing the problem.
    Boot normally and then lauch Console (in your Applications/Utiities folder)
    Then Launch iPhoto and see if any messages get written to it.
    Regards

  • K8N Neo3 Issues (At the end of my rope)

    The parts I have are as follows:
    1x K8N Neo3 MOBO
    1x Sapphire x1600 Radeon Video Card 512MB PCIE
    1x AMD64 Sempron +3000 (Socket 754)
    1x WD 100GB HDD
    1x WD 250GB HDD
    2x DRAM Master PC3200 DDR400 Memory Modules
    1x DWL D-Link 11.0Mbps Wireless USB Adapter
    1x LiteOn 16X DVD Dual Drive (ATAPI/E-IDE)
    Some things to note:
    All of the parts have been tested in other machines and work perfectly. I'm currently running XP Pro on a 15gig partition on the 100GB HDD. All of the drivers are installed on this partition as well as firefox. On the other partition on that drive, I have 3DMark05 and windows media player classic installed. Both partitioned were made after formatting the entire drive. On the 250GB HDD, I have some anime and various wallpapers. Hardware acceleration currently set to two notches left of full. All of the drivers are up to date, and I have flashed the BIOS.
    The problems:
    First off, my CD driver could not read CDs all too well. In the middle of installation I'd get tons of errors which was odd considering the fact that the CD (XP Pro) worked in other comps. After I flashed the BIOS however, this problem was removed, or rather, it pops up less frequently.
    Another issue I'm having is with the memory. Both memory modules work well, and were memtested with no errors, however, unless I go to Advanced Chipset Features in the BIOS and enter into DRAM Configuration and change the timing mode to manual, set the Memclock Index Value to 250MHZ and the CAS# Latency to 3, I can't boot into XP. Instead, it'll clear POST, and then pretend like it's going to take me to XP, and then reboot. On the issue with memory, it's interesting to note that with my old sempron processor (AMD 3200+), I don't have to change any BIOS settings to get the RAM to work.
    The next problem on the list is with my video card. As mentioned previously, it's a Sapphire x1600 Radeon 512MB PCIE and I can't get it to work on this system for the life of me. I tested the card in a friend's computer (uninstalled his drivers and installed mine before attempting) and it worked like a dream. In mine however, whenever I go to run a graphic intensive program such as 3DMark05, it locks up after about 10 seconds, some times sooner. Occaisonaly VPU will kick in, but usually I have to perform a reboot. Even the little car animation in catalyst control center locks up my computer. It's interesting to note however that when watching anime, that I can usually go about 2 or 3 episodes before my computer freezes up on me, or just reboots.
    It's interesting to note that my computer has not rebooted on me while surfing the net, or typing stuff up.
    Another issue is that it seems like I can't go 10 or 15 minutes without something shutting down, such as firefox, or msn messenger due to errors. I've reinstalled windows and formatted twice now, and I'm still continually getting conflicts. I'm not sure if this issue might be tied into the ones I'm having with the motherboard, or if that even makes sense, but considering the fact I wasn't having these issues till I switched to this one, I'm ready to put the blame on it.
    My theories:
    My current theory is that there is a device driver conflict somewhere. After much searching, reinstalling, and a lot of crying, I've not been able to figure out what the video card is conflicting with. While this issue might be better dealt with on some ATI fourm, ATI has not such fourm I could find, and since I'm having issues with the board overall, I figured I'd post it here.
    I have no theory as to why one processor would have me to change bios setting to get the RAM to work, and why another wouldn't.
    I have no theory as to why I can watch anime, but not play games.
    What I'm hoping for:
    I'm open to any possible solutions to the problems I'm currently experiencing, and would even be grateful for possible causes if no solution can be met. If all else fails, and I can't get anything to work, (even though all the other parts work on other boards), I'll assume the board is faulty and just RMA it considering the fact that the people I bought it from don't accept returns.

    Quote from: Xfraze on 03-February-06, 19:26:38
    I plan to get a 450W PSU today and see if that helps, I have my fingers crossed though. Last time I though my computer had a power issue, it turned out the problem was somthing else and I forkedout some cash for nothing.
    Yep, that happens ... that is why I always recommend to try it out with a borrowed PSU first. Still, I have the feeling that things are moving in the right direction Maybe it is time to take a closer look at the videocard - you have any idea of the temperature of the card under stress - or about the temperatures in the computer in general? CPU temp, case temp, etc?

  • MagicDVD, at the end of my rope.

    I am extremely frustrated with my mac. I am running OS 10.5.5 and have the superdrive, I have used nearly a dozen DL discs trying to burn a large file, and I get errors or it says it's done but never actually finishes, just continues to work until I cancel the operation. None of the discs have played, and the most recent error was "Multiplexing'. I looked that up and it said it had something to do with space available--I have 175 GB available, so that shouldnt be a problem. I was trying to burn .avi first and after an hour on the phone with apple they said to try converting it and burning it as a different type. So i changed it to MP4 and it still does not work. Someone please help me before stomp on this stupid thing.
    Any help much appreciated--I can't afford the minutes on hold with apple trying to have someone figure it out...

    Have you considered not using MagicDVD and creating an iDVD project to add your movie to so you can save the finished project as a disk image and proof with DVD Player before committing to disk? Saves a lot of discs that way.

    Hey, I hope I am not too late.
    In order for your port forwarding to work, you have to point it to the IP address of your router.  On the setup page, about the middle of the page, there is a 192.168.1. then a box;  place a value in the box, which will complete the ip for your router's port forwarding.
    save it then, try again.  Just did that on mine, I found alot of information on the www.portforward.com web site.

    We have an iMac G5 running OS X 10.4
    all of a sudden it stopped working (when we tried to reformat a G3 ipod from PC to mac)
    so we restarted - it gave us the question mark
    restarted again, unplugged for 30 seconds, still question mark
    so we're reading all the support online, disk utility repair doesn't work - errors out
    so we go to reinstall from the install disks -

    any suggestions please? going crazy here.
    thanks in advance,

    "how does one go about using a 3rd party utility to repair ..."
    You go out and buy a copy of DiskWarrior or Tech Tool Pro. Once you have it, insert the CD into the drive and reboot from the CD (hold down the c-key during boot). Then repair the disk and restart.
    "...or doing an archive&install?"
    1. Insert the Panther or Tiger install-DVD and reboot while holding down the c-key
    2. Once you are booted go to the menu and select disk utility
    3. Repair the disk and Repair permissions!
    4. Quit disk utility and proceed with the installation
    5. Under "options" select "Archive&Install" and check the box "keep user and network data".
    6. Install Tiger
    7. Restart
    8. Go to the folder Application/Utilities and run disk utility to repair permissions again.
    9. Download (or open if you downloaded before) and install the latest Combo update: Mac OS X Update 10.3.9 (Combo) or Mac OS X Update 10.4.8 Combo PPC.
    10. Restart and repair permisssions
    11. Go to the Apple menu and select "Software Update"
    12. Install all missing updates and restart.
    13. Repair permissions
    Good luck!

  • HELP!!! AT THE END OF MY ROPE!!!

    I've tried "restore to factory settings" with no avail. I am tempted to "Erase all data and petitions" but will that also mean that the system recovery petition will also be erased? I don't want that but I don't know what else to do!

    I've tried "restore to factory settings" with no avail. I am tempted to "Erase all data and petitions" but will that also mean that the system recovery petition will also be erased?
    Try the factory restore once again. Power off your unit, press and hold down the '0' (zero) key, power on, keep holding the power key down until you see the Toshiba Recovery menu, return your unit to its factory default out-of-the-box setup.
    The recovery utility, run from the HDD recovery partition, will not wipe out the recovery partition. The recovery utility, run from a set of recovery disks, will actually rebuild the HDD recovery partition.
    But yes, all other user data and partitions will be wiped out.
    If you need to post back here we need your full model name/number from the Toshiba label on the bottom of your computer.

  • Can anyone help, i am at the end of my rope.=(

I set up "single port forwarding" correctly i hope but when i ask my "check port tool" to check the port, it always shows a ip that i dont even know. I run on lan (home) and my wife runs hers on Wifi thro the same router.  I did the cmd...ipconfig /all  thing, entered the IPv4 ip, the subnet and the DNS but no matter what i do, the site keeps telling me when they go to check my router for open port, they were "Refused" So any help with this

    Just a quick overview,
    I've had my 30G iPod for about 2 weeks now. At first I couldn't get iTunes to read the iPod and had all these other problems. Eventually, after trying all sorts of things, I would have to pull the cord out of the USB port because iTunes said there was no iPod connected, but the iPod read 'do not disconnect'. Grr..I've only done this about three times and I know it can damage it whatever, but I had no choice! Now, after I turn it off I always put it on hold, and when I'd later turn it back on again, usually it would automatically turn back on again, now it doesn't, I press any button like the booklet says to do to turn it on, but the apple icon always appears indicating its reset, it happens quite a lot, and when I turn it off, put it on hold, then take it off hold after its been reset, it turns on automatically like it should! However, I haven't had problems with iTunes lately, its all going smoothly, and so had my iPod, but only lately its been doing this freaky stuff!
    Hopefully you guys can help me! I'm thinking about taking it back to the store.

    Even though you eject the IPOD from ITUnes it is still connected to windows. You have your IPOD set to run in disk mode and it has to be dismounted from the Windows Operating System correctly or you will lock it up eventually. Read this first:
    Do Not Disconnect - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61135
    It may be an option to restore your IPOD to factory settings and reload all your stuff on to a clean IPOD drive. Read this:
