Impossible problem with iPod Photo

Ok, so here's the kick:
I joined this forum because I cannot find a solution to this problem whatsoever. I have an iPod Photo that has been sitting in a drawer for about 2 years. I just got a new car stereo and I wanted to fix my old iPod instead of buying a new one. Besides, all I want is the music playback. The original problem with the iPod was the hard drive. It made the usual "clicking" noise everyone has heard at least once, so my first goal was to change the hard drive. I ordered a 30GB Toshiba Drive that fits exactly for my iPod. Actually, it upgraded it's old 20GB one without occupying any additional space. While I was at it, I also ordered a new battery, since I was pretty sure 2 years ago the battery already had problems, and it couldn't have gone better with the years.
So, first package arrives: Hard Drive.
I replaced the hard drive and connected the iPod to my computer. Yay! No more noises! But, for some reason, the iPod cannot connect to my computer. Here's what happens:
I connect the iPod
iPod turns on
Apple Logo appears
Exclamation Folder or Sad iPod icon appears (normal, since I just changed the hard drive and there are no iPod Software files)
After a few mins, the "Do not disconnect" message appears, and my computer starts to connect with the iPod
Not even 30 seconds later, the iPod completly restarts. The screens flashes off like it ran out of battery.
So, I though, maybe it was the battery. So, 2nd package arrives: Battery.
I changed the battery and I'm still having the same problem. Here are some steps I've taken:
1. Put iPod in Disk Mode and connect: Computer doesn't recognizes it, iPod restarts after 45 secs approx
2. Charge iPod: iPod wont charge in any outlet. It will just try to start and, since it will fail due to the lack of software, it will just turn off. I tried putting the iPod in Disk Mode and then charging it, and it did work. I left it charging for about 30 mins and retried connecting it, and I had the same problem/results
3. Put old Hard Drive back: just for the heck of it
I sincerely have NO IDEA of what to do, and I haven't been able to find any help on Google nor any other forum.
Does someone, ANYONE, has a suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

I, too, have this exact same problem after trying to use my daughter's IPod Photo 30GB that she abandoned about 2yrs ago. I've replaced the battery but this does not make any difference. I managed to get it into Disk Mode but when I try to restore it on the pc, it cannot see it. I also tried someone's suggestion of using a Mac but it made no difference.
Someone also suggested rebooting the hard drive using the reset button inside. However, have opened the IPod up and can't see a reset button anywhere on the hard drive. Have seen photos of hard drives in other IPods and it is really easy to find!
All I want to do is restore the IPod, there must be someone out there who can help. PLEASE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AppleTV big problem with my photos

Hi all,
I´m a little bit helpless. A few weeks ago I bought a new Flatscreen TV (Philips Full-HD 40") and a AppleTV. As I´m a passioned photographer I want to show pictures to my friends / family / clients not on the small 17" MBP - I want to show it on the big screen.
I was very disappointed about the quality the AppleTV delivers on the Screen!!! It looks like a picture with 640/480 bumped up to Full-HD! When I store the picture on an USB-Stick and connect this Stick directly with the TV I get a completely different picture! With correct color and sharpness!
That is the quality I had expected from the AppleTV!! I have searched the Internet but have found nothing in this regard. Am I the only person who see this weakness and shame for the AppleTV???
Please follow the link and download the comparison picture.
http://gallery.me.com/killermac1#100644
I´m looking forward to receive tips for resolving this. Could be a human error from my side! But there is not enough room to change settings on the Mac or AppleTV that I could make such a mistake.
Many thanks for your help.!!
Regards,
Bernhard

Hi,
first of all thank you that you take the time and try to help me.
To your questions:
2. I use the "auto" option regarding the HDMI settings
3. The format originally is RAW which then is converted into JPG
4. To present the photos I use iPhoto and Lightroom
5. Most of the photos are only converted in Lightroom to JPG
As you see in the comparison picture the TV is not the problem. It is not a cheap Full-HD TV. For me the issue is the AppleTV and hopefully the settings of the AppleTV. I have searched in the settings but I have never have a chance to change the resolution of the photos anywhere.
From my point of view the TV is not the problem and also the pictures from iPhoto are not the problem (when I connect the MBP directly the photos from iPhoto looks great on the TV!). In the compatibility list of Apple for the AppleTV is Philips included. I have the following TV: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=40PFL7664H/12&scy=de&sl g=de
Thanks again
Tell me what do you need to know and I will do it.

Big problem with ipod nano

It won't switch on unless you plug it into a computer but when you do it flicks between 3 screens before turning itself off.
Its brings the apple screen for 1 second, the do not disconnect for 1 second and then then folder and exclamation screen for 1 second and then switches itself off.
All the time it is plugged into a computer it continues to do this in succession.
However it does not show up on the computer.
Any ideas?

Well it could be the battery is dead, the nano is locked up, or the flash drive is damaged, well go thru afew steps.
1) Connect the ipod DIRECTLY to the PCs USB port, not thru some USB hub, Just the USB code one end hooked to the nano, the other end hooked directly to the back USB port on the PC.
Keep it connected for 30 min to an hour so it gets a full charge.
2) After that if its still acting up try resetting the nano by holding the center and menu button for 6 to 10 seconds.
3) If reset doesn't fix it, open the ipod updater 06-28-2006 (Can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ ) And try to restore it if you can
4) if all that doesn't work we'll try formatting it in windows. If you reach this point just post back and I'll walk you thru this step

Big problem with ipod 2nd gen

My ipod will show up on the computer or itunes. It is 4 years old and may now be a paper weight. Last night it had new music put on it and was working fine. When i put it back on its dock (it has to stay docked due to battery issues)and nothing. =( Its buddy (ipod 3rd gen)had the same work done and it works and it DOES show up on the computer and itunes.
Can someone help me jumpstart my paperweight or is my dino dead? (2nd gen is dino 3rd gen is half dino)

It may have gone into total battery failure. Try resetting it while it is connected to your computer. If no go then you might want to put a new battery in it.

BIG problem with ipod 80gb

When I connect it to itunes and try to copy music to it (without syncing) itunes get stuck that hard, that i have to disconnect the ipod. It happens every time i connect the ipod, and after several times, itunes just erases all music, without warning. And yes, i restored it several times, and yes, i have the latest itunes version.

Your issue is confusing.
If you want to transfer your music from iTunes to your iPod, you need to Sync.
If Sync hangs iTunes, it maybe because of your Antivirus program, so stop your Antivirus program but first make sure you are not connected to Internet.
Have a Nice day!

Big problem with photos after update to iOS 4.3

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem with the photos on my iPhone 4 after updating to 4.3
There is not enough space for them, anymore. Before the update I had about 9000 photos synced with iTunes -and I had about 10 GB free. Now, iTunes can't sync the photos anymore because there is not enough space on the iPhone??? The same amount of photos does not fit anymore. I suppose there is an error in the Itunes photo compression module. Anybody else with the problem? Any suggestions for a workaround?
Thanks, Olaf
Update: The same number of photos is taking up three times as much space than before.

Me too, but I have the solution.
There seems to be 2 problems. First, for some reason your data is taking up more space post update, so if you were close to filling your device, you now overrun. This isn't well handeld by iTunes, but doesn't seem to be the biggest problem as I'm sure that would sort itself out if you could just get it to sync.
The root problem is the 2nd one - the missing file. Mine was a photo, but it took me ages to find it and you're not going to like how I did it. I started to untick things to sync one by one (music first) and attempting the re-sync. I found that it was a file in my photos that was causing the problem, so I removed those and then re-loaded everything back up and I'm now OK again. I use Aperture to sync with.
I had the same problem with the last OS update and it's a pain because it takes ages to sort with a nearly full 32G device.
Now onto my iPad for an update, but that's proving to be a non-starter as the thing wont back up due to "another session in progress". More rooting around to solve that I guess......

Having big problems with Creative Zen Micro Photo!! I need much urgent help!

Hi. I am having a big problem with my MP3 Creative Zen Micro Photo device at the computer.Here is the thing:Before I bought this I had the regular Zen Micro & having fun with it. I had no problems with that when I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs. So I bought the Zen Micro Photo & installed it my computer. As normal I used the Media Explorer to transfer songs & pictures.So I reinstalled Windows XP at my computer, and when I installed the CD that followed to transfer new songs, the Windows said that it's an unknown thing I have connected in the USB.So I installed Service Pack & 2. I have tried to install drivers from the cd but it seems that there are no drivers on the cd! The big problem is that when I connect the MP3 to the computer, it doesn't read it's a Zen Micro, it's just unknown! So the Zen Micro Photo Media Explorer program doesn't work & I can't transfer songs or picture on it! And it just happened after I re-installed Windows on my computer. The same thing happened on my brother's computer after he re-installed windows. And when I connect the MP3 to the USB, it says that it's not a USB 2.0, but .! And I am sure it is 2.0 because it has always been like that before I re-installed windows. Also the MP3 does not re-charge when I put it my computer! The battery is just the same, it tries to do it but it doesn't. So I am using my sisters computer to charge the MP3 & transfer songs. I have tried everything but I can't seem to understand what the problem is? I have never experienced something like this before, and I really hope you can help me with this! To be honest I think what I am missing is the driver. So can someone PLEASE provide me the link for the driver? I have downloaded all those 3 on www.creative.com, but they are none of them! Also that playforsure firmawre thingy does not work because it sais that I have to connect my MP3, and it is connected already!Please reply as quick as possible! Thanks a lot for you kind help!
I have also sent this mail to creative support! But please help me I have had this problem for almost 2 months now! =(Message Edited by anakwalajinn on 05-0-2006 08:47 PM

If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
=
RANKX(
ALL(Table1),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(table1),
ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
DENSE
If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

When I'm listening to my music on my Shuffle, I do not hear any sound from my right earphone unless I press down the connecting part of the earphones (I meen the part that goes in to the iPod, don't know the name). So is there anybody that has the same problem and should I send it to the support?

Hi! I have the EXACT same problem with my iPod shuffle! (Except that it is in the LEFT ear and not the RIGHT.) I used to be able to fix it by pressing on the plug thing, but now no matter what I do it still doesn't work. (I've had mine for about, 9 1/2 months.) I'm trying right now to figure out what I want to do with it (whether I'm going to send it in or not), because I also have a purchased warranty from Futureshop, where I bought it... so if you get anymore info about this problem, let me know!

Big problem with my 4th Gen, please help !!!

Hi guys.
Well I've a big problem with a 4th gen Ipod. The prob is that the Select button on the middle doesn't work.
I've tried everything : Did a reset, a complet restore from Itunes 7, but it was unsuccesful.
I don't really understand the problem, I was using the Ipod normally then suddenly the button didn't work !!
Please help me. In addition, I cannot carry it to the Apple Centre because I live in Algeria.
Thanks.

No ideas ???
I've tried to open it as well, I've unplugged all the connectors, cleaned it with alcohol, but the button still not responding.
Do you think that the problem would come from the logic board ?? Because the button itself worked (I used a METRIX to test it), and I can make a reset with no problem (the reset needs the central button).
Please help me. Thanks.

Big problem with playing videos on Vista

I have a big problem with iTunes and Quick Time on Vista. I know other people in the german cmmunity who have it, too.
If ich want to play a video with iTunes or Quickt Time my PC starts wokring very heavy. Then the programm shut down. Sometimes there is a bluescreen, too.
In iTunes it is enough just to leftclick on a video an the programm is freezing without an error message.
I bought a new iPod classic some days ago. With this error i can't use it and 350 € would be thrown away.
I installed both prgramms again and again but that's no use.

Seems to be a hard drive issue. I sometimes get the blue screen of death or a message that one of my 2 raid0 hard drives is starting to fall down. If I restart the PC (3 seconds on the power button... since iTunes blocked everything) and declare the hard drive is OK using the Intel Matrix soft provided by Dell on their website, everything is back to normal (as long as I don't use iTunes). Problem only occurs with iTunes. I am currently doing a backup of my complete HDD to an external drive. I'll try moving my iTunes library to this drive and see if it works better from a non raid 0 drive. Will keep you informed. But an external drive is always VERY slow compared to an internal so it can only be a degraded mode solution to the problem. Apple please do something!!!

HELP ME! problems with removing photos

Hi, I'm having problems with deleting photos from my ipod. I've synced photos from a folder I created, and was successful in getting the photos uploaded. Later, I deleted the folder and a folder I didn't create called "Itunes Cache". I've tried syncing new photos from the original "My Photos" and only the old pictures remain. I'm tired of them and the space they take up! Is there a way to delete them without restoring my iPod? Thanks!
