Can't start iPod in Manual Mode

I can't seem to start an 30GB iPod in Manual Mode, even while pressing the command and option keys while starting up.
Any ideas on how to force it into Manual Mode?

iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
Try with it it in disk mode.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It's not possible when using the camera button but if you tap "Camera" in the app drawer or home screen it will go to Manual if that's what you used last time.

  • Can't transfer songs in manual mode

    All the instructions say that in manual mode songs can be dragged from the music library and dropped into the iPOD but it won't work. The only way we can transfer is to set the preferences to automatic. Does anyone know how to transfer in manual mode?

    Janet,
    The songs with the ! next to them means that they have either been moved from the location that iTunes normally looks for them, or that they've been deleted from the computer.
    Either way, iTunes cannot find them. If you were to double click on one, you would get a message to this effect and be asked if you want iTunes to look for it.

  • Can't Start Up in Safe Mode

    I've followed the directions here 8 times now:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
    I've tried it with various timing alterations, and I just can't seem to get started up in safe mode.
    Any clue what I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    Okay, I solved my own problem. Figured I'd post it here, just in case it might help someone else. Though, it probably won't. My set-up is pretty rare.
    My keyboard isn't plugged into my computer. It's plugged into my monitor, which has 4 USB ports. Evidently, those USB ports don't get loaded until too late in the start-up process, for me to take advantage of start-up commands.
    When I plugged the keyboard directly into the computer, it worked fine.

  • Help: Can't start up in Safe Mode!

    I'm trying to fire up in Safe Mode to do a few Spotlight housekeeping tasks but my Mac won't have it. When I try start up Safe it gets no further than the Grey Apple Logo and spinning wheel. After a short while the fans spin up to full speed and nothing else happens. I have to force the Mac to shut down and I can then start up again normally.
    Any help on this would be much appreciated as there may come a time when I NEED to start up in Safe Mode.
    Thanks in advance. Derek.

    Hi-
    Might want to try a Single User mode boot (command +s) and run fsck.
    -Startup in Single User mode.
    -At the command-line prompt, type */sbin/fsck -fy*. Press Return.
    fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK
    -If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command again, until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    -When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
    -Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.
    After this, try a Safe mode boot, again.

  • Macbook Pro can only start up in safe mode

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro has recently been freezing on a blue screen when I try and start up. I seem to only be able to start up in safe mode.
    I have followed some instructions found regarding the blue screen issue: deleting some files out of library/startupitems folder
    and managed to start up normally once, then soon after I got a message saying I need to restart my computer by holding down the power button.
    I am now back to having to log in using safe mode.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?

  • Oracle DB 11g R2, Services starts automatically against "Manual" mode

    if services are in manual mode then it will not start automatically.check is there any script running which will start the services at the time of windows startup.

    I do know that it is not certified, which was the case of 10g while Windows 7 was just launched. We worked on it and MADE it run on Windows 7 machines without having the same issue mentioned in the thread. As far right now, there are no startup scripts facilitating the automatic startup of Oracle services. Oh yeh, I will go ahead and do a re-install to confirm that nothing is wrong place :)

  • Can't start in single user mode, trying to fix blue screen startup

    Trying to fix my blue screen startup and I'm on the step to fix the Network Preferences and I'm suppoed to go into single user mode. It starts but then locks up. last line is: localhost:\ root# Anyone have an idea?

    Hi David.
    Sorry we haven't received any response yet. getting used to the new forum is occupying a lot of peoples time at present I fear. I've yelled a bit louder this time!
    In the mean time, have you already tried starting up in SAFE mode, rather than SU? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393 and following the other processes identified in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464
    If you have access to another firewire equipt Mac then you could also use Target disk mode (connect the two together with a firewire cable, then start up your own computer while holding down the t key. ) Your own HD would then appear on the desktop of the other computer as another HD, and you can then proceed to remove or shift the same .plist files (on your own HD) identified in point 4 or 5 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464

  • Can only start up in Safe Mode, please help!

    Hi friends, I need your help!
    I woke up this morning and my iMac G5 (w/ Leopard) was frozen. I restarted it manually, but it would freeze on a blue screen without loading the OS. It can start up fine in safe mode, but that's it! I've tried repairing permissions and zapping the PRAM - any other ideas?
    What can I do in Safe Mode that might fix my comp? I haven't recently installed any applications, and I have all "open at login" items turned off.
    Thanks for your help!

    Are you able to start with your install disc? If so, use Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    You might also try running Preferential Treatment to see if you have corrupt preferences.
    Please let us know how you get on,

  • My MacBook Pro 13 inch makes a clicking noise from the hard drive and can not start up in safe mode and normal. I then ran disk utility in recovery mode and disk utility shows no problems with the hard drive. What is the problem?

    Please help me, I have a mid 2010 Mac book pro with a toshiba mk3266gsxf harddrive. It started making a clicking noise and then my computer crashed. I proceeded to boot in safe mode, but it doesn't work. When I ran disk utility in recovery mode, it showed no problem with my disk. Does any one know what the problem is?

    Sounds like a mechanical problem with the drive and it ruined the sectors where the Macintosh HD partition (and OS X, and files and programs) reside, but not your Recovery HD partition.
    If you held command option r while booting, that's Internet Recovery and it's loaded via the Internet, not via the Recovery HD partition on the boot drive, so that could mean the drive is dead mechanically or there is another issue.
    In either case the drive will likely have to be replaced, it's a matter of what occured to where and the drive state if you can recover data or not. If you made recent backups then your fine.
    My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

  • Ivisualizualize can't start in 64 bit mode

    Since installing Lion I get the above message on starting iTunes; any reason iTunes is not Lion compatible?

    If the machine has an Open Firmware password set on it, the keyboard shortcut for booting into Single User mode will be disabled; the password can be taken off by following the instructions at the bottom of the linked article if you know what it is.
    You should use a wired keyboard when accessing Single User mode, as some people have reported being unable to use a wireless keyboard in this mode. If only the permissions on the top level of the hard disk have been set incorrectly, they can be fixed by issuing the following commands in order:
    mount -uw /
    chmod 1775 /

  • Can only start Windows 7 (installed with bootcamp)  in safe mode

    I installed Windows 7 about 3 weeks ago, everything has gone smoothly until a few days ago. I can only start Windows in safe mode, if I try to do it in normal mode, it starts to log in but the screen will just go black and the computer will shut off completely. Then it won't turn back on for like 5 minutes. My mac partition works fine, and I can't find a solution to this Windows problem. When I try to do the "restore' thing where you make it go back to a certain install point, it gives me an error. Please help me, I have a course starting in 3 days and I need Windows OS for it.
