Cant Get Rid Of The Sad Ipod Screen

Ok, well it shows the sad ipod screen, and when I plug it into the computer it shows a battery picture with the charging lightning bolt but it isnt charging. Those "5 R's" didnt do a thing because my computer dosnt even acknowledge that its plugged in!

See these troubleshooting articles.
Sad iPod icon.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
PC doesn't recognize the iPod is connected.
Folder and ! error.
Try to restore it in disk mode.

This icon is usually indicative of a hard drive problem, and if none of the above help, it will need service.

I call a class using a Button but i cant get rid of the old page??

Hey,
I cant get rid off the current page when i want to go to the next page! this.dispose(); doesnt work because the class doesnt implement ActionListener!! This is the code that i have used:
JButton back = new JButton("BACK");
        back.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                   VowelmSound s = new VowelmSound();
                    s.setSize(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());
                    s.show();
                    //this.dispose();
         });         });       and this is the code for main
public static void main(String[] args)
{JFrame draw = new punjabidraw();
         draw.setVisible(true);
}so was wondering if there was another method i could use to get rid of the old page?? repaint maybe???
Hope you can help
Kind Regards
RSH

//this.dispose(); 'This' is a nameless ActionListener object. Can't be dispose()ed.
What do you want to dispose() really?
And, what is your punjabidraw class?
Save the currend page reference in a variable called, say, curPage, then do
curPage.dispose();in the event handler for the button.

I cant seem to get my ipod working even tho I put a new battery in it I keep getting the sad face icon and i cant restart it

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

4th iPod in 2 months: Sad face icon appears and freezes entire iPod

Why does this continue to happen? I receive a free, brand new iPod from Apple. I upload all my purchased songs, videos, and podcasts. I listen to iPod and hear the songs freeze then bam!, the iPod shuts down, only to reboot with the sad face icon appearing.
Here is what I know is not causing the issues.
-not temperature related.
-all songs are legit, itunes bought. (1300 to be exact)
-iPod is listened to very little. Maybe 30 minutes a day so heavy use is not an issue.
What may be causing it:
-Car charger/frequency player.
-Bad hardware, but 4 in a row? I think not.
What am I doing to make these iPods go caput?

Have a read through this.

Please help! I keep getting the sad face icon

according to the troubleshooting steps i am supposed to restore my ipod if the sad face shows up... and i tried but my computer no longer recognizes my ipod... so i tried to switch to disk mode and that won't work... and now my ipod wont even charge anymore what should i do?

The Sad iPods icon or folder with an exclamation mark are the toughest problems to deal with, and must do a Restore in order to fix it. However, when your iPod is showing this icon, it is probably too late for your computer to recognize the iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. We've found that in many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
8. Try to do an Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a format with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer). You may need to plug and unplug your iPod with the computer for several attempts, and switching around Format and Restore, and hope out of sudden, it will get recognized.
9. Diagnostic mode solution – which I copied from a thread of a post from thinktwice
“Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
- I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
- I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
- I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.
Details on Diag mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
10.Let me ask you a question, if an iPod with no iPod software with it. When your connect it with a computer, what would happen?
Yeah, the computer will treat it as a fresh external hard disk, which will get force mounted, the computer will ask you to format the iPod. It does not really matter the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted iPod software on the iPod, after that the computer will recognize it.
Once it has been completed, eject your iPod, open the iPod updater and interestingly, you will able to do the Restore this time.
Base on the above, that's why I suggest Windows users who experience trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac machine or vice versa. PC computer will not recognize a Mac formatted iPod, but it will get mounted in an attempt to format your iPod.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.
I have just read an interesting solution about the Sad iPod, it does make sense but the warranty will be waived once you open the iPod, I would not do it myself as I am not good on doing this

How can I get rid of the "Clear Styling' icon from RichTextEditor's history toolbar?

Hi,
I'm a beginner in ADF and using (Jdev release 11.1.1.7). I'm trying to use a RichTextEditor for simple editing work.

Help: How to get rid off the default Window menu from FORM screen?

Hi,
I am working on a FORM application. On the very top left of the FORM screen, there is a default Window menu with:
Cascade
Tile Horizontally
Tile Vertically
etc.
The end user will never use it for this application. To make the screen look nicer, is there a way to hid or get rid off it?
Also if possible, I want to hid or get rid off very top "Oracle Developer Forms Runtime - Web"
Thanks.
Jimmy

Also if possible, I want to hid or get rid off very top "Oracle Developer Forms Runtime - Web"I see you are running with separate frame. In the When-new-form-instance trigger, use
Set_Window_Property(Forms_MDI_Window, Title, "xyz" );
to change the window title.

I keep getting this message: Mail can't connect to the account: "Sbcglobal". Enter the password... So I do and it opens up, but later it will happen again. It's not earth-shattering, but I have to stop what I'm doing to get rid of the bouncing Mail icon.

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

You want this moved to OS X forum? to MBP? An FAQ on system repair and maintenance?
Try booting form OS X DVD and go to Utility: Disk Utilty and Repair Disk Drive - for starters.
Unplug everything.
Reboot holding Shiftkey - called Safe Boot, might want to look that up.
Add more RAM, free up disk space. Delete temp and cache files (I don't recommend using a "cache cleaning utility" though Onyx has been around for years).

Here is a pretty comprehensive post about the sad iPod icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.
