Clicking on and off

Hello,
I've had my iPod for about two months, and things have gone well so far, up until this. About a week ago I had a friend over who has an iPod (I have an iPod mini), her battery was dead, so she asked if she could plug in into my computer (using my connector) to charge it, I said no at first, as I had seen that it doesn't work or recognize another iPod if there are two- but she said that since she was just charging it, there'd be no problem.
Well since then, when I connect my mini to the computer it will either click on and off (between saying 'Do not disconnect' and just being on the main menu screen). Many times when it's connected, my iTunes will not even notice that it's there.
I was just wondering, is this because my friend connected hers to my computer? And if so, what can I do to fix it?
By the way- I've tried the whole "hold down menu and the middle button for 6-10 seconds" thing...but it doesn't change anything.

Ashley,
It's unlikely that connecting your friend's iPod to your computer caused this. You can connect multiple iPods to one computer, so I'm not sure where you've seen that you can't.
Try restoring your iPod to factory settings.

Apple icon clicking on and off?!?!?!?

My nano froze and I was kindly pushed in the direction of restoring my nano on disk format...whcih I did and everything started working okay-ish! Then after going back to normal format the apple icon appeared and for a short while I had the normal screen, but the apple came back and has been clicking on and off ever since (I say clicking not flashing because I can actually hear the click when the icon goes off!!!)
I am really stuck now...the battery is charged, I have reset...reset....reset....restored on disk format....and still it isn't working!!!!!
Please someone help me!!!

jack...sounds lik the click wheel is almost in a permanently pressed state and it's making the Nano re-set? If you haven't used your one free call to ttech support, I'd use it now....if there's a defect, Apple will fix it.

Old Geezer needs HELP. clicking on and off and on and off

I have an ipod classic 80. It keeps clicking on and off and on and off. The little apple logo pops up on the screen when it comes on but then it shuts off again. I hear a faint "clicking" noise when it powers off. I tried pushing menu and select buttons and nothing happens. I'm old, aggravated, and sad. Please help the elderly !

I sent the following to someone else a few minutes ago. It may help you also:
Plug the iPod into your computer. Go to iTunes. Click on the iPod icon in the sidebar of iTunes. Click on the Summary tab. Click on the restore button. This will delete everything from your iPod, so you will have to re-sync all movies, music, pictures, contacts and anything else you have on it. If you are using the disk-mode option, it will wipe all this data too, so be sure to back these files up before you embark on the restore procedure. This is all assuming that the iPod will mount and the clicking noise isn't what I think it may be; A failed hard drive.
If none of this works, and the hard drive has failed rather than the iPod just needing to be restored then it is almost certainly still under warranty (the 80gb Classic has only been around since last September so I think you qualify for repair).
And you can always work your way through the Apple hints at the following link:

If this doesn't resolve the problem, you should probably get in touch with Apple Support:

Good luck

Flash CS5 bug - clicking on and off "allow smoothing" in bitmap properties dialog crashes Flash

I had a situation where I was clicking on and off the allow smoothing checkbox in a bitmap properties dialog to observe the difference in appearance and that crashed Flash - Windows 7 Professional, Flash CS5 Professional 11.0.2.489, 8GB Ram - there seem to be a number of bugs like this because I've seen a number of cases in different places in Flash CS5 where doing something normal just crashes it. Kind of annoying when you are in the middle of something and haven't been saving your work every 5 seconds.

Hi,
We have a problem with our action script and seems to be using cookies of clients computers.
We have a action script as under ..........----------
function my_function38()
    var _loc1 = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
    totalNodes = _loc1.length;
    cityname_mc.fl_name_mc.fl_name.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.name;
    rate_mc.rate_anim_mc.fl_rate.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.rate;
    fl_month.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[cnt].attributes.month;
// End of the function
my_Date = new Date();
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.load("DEL.xml?uniqueID=" + getTimer());
my_xml.onLoad = my_function38;
my_xml.ignoreWhite = 1;
if (!cnt)
    var cnt = 0;
} // end if
++cnt;
if (cnt >= totalNodes)
    cnt = 0;
    gotoAndPlay(1);
else
    gotoAndPlay(1);
Xml Data as under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding= "UTF-8" ?>
<cities>
<city name="Delhi" rate="£365" month=""file location"></city>
</cities>
What is happening is we are storing many swf files and xml files for different cities on server location 1 with same code but are just changing the xml file to be picked.
I.e
DELHI.XML    DELHI.SWF
BANGKOK.XML BANGKOK.SWF
SYDNEY.XML SYDNEY.SWF
All are in one folder and we are just changing the xml path in fla files and loading the new swf.
Then we are giving out swf urls to an advertising company which is in turn picking up swf files from sever location 1 and displaying the same on their website.
The problem is each time we access the swf file on there site the data doesnot display properly. It is picking up the wrong xml data. When we check the fla the path for xml is ok. What we think is it is saving swf or xml in cookies of user computer. Is there anyway to prevent it from happening.
We Are using Adobe Flash CS5.
Thanks

Music skipping, speeding up & voice control clicking on and off

I have had a problem the last few days when i am listening to music on my iPhone 4. songs that are playing are skipping to the next or previous tracks, cutting out completely or starting again. Also the voice control keeps clicking on & off. is anyone else experiencing these problems or has a solution on this. i am not sure if it is a software problem, hardware or even the headphones that are the problem. i shouldn't think it is hardward as there are no moving parts but as it has occcured when phone has been stationary or in my pocket while walking i am unsure of the cause. any help is greatly appreciated

I finally figured out what is going on with my ipod skipping tracks. I thought about how everyone was saying that their ipod would start malfunctioning after about 20 minutes if they were either at the gym or jogging. The common denominator between these two activities is sweat. Sweat is the culprit! You're probably using an ipod with earphones that have a microphone on them. You'll notice that if you're on a tradmill or jogging, the microphone is right next to your face. As you work out more, you sweat more, and as the mocrphone brushes your face or next, sweat is tranferred to it. After about 20 minutes of exposure, the microphone starts to malfunction and the ipod starts skipping and the voice command comes up. You'll notice that after an hour or so after your workout, the microphone has time to dry out and the ipod goes bak to normal. To solve the problem, find a way to cover the microphone while you work out OR used a pair of headphones that doesn't have a microphone. Hope that helps!

Ringer going on and off?

I bought a Mophie Juice Pack Air (not sure if this has anything to do with it...but this is when the problem started) and the ringer decided to go on and off. Sometimes I can increase the volume up and down, and sometimes it flat out turns off and I can't hear the sounds when I receive a text, send a text, etc. It looks like this.
I've gone into Sounds - and clicked on and off for the Vibrate option, and messed with all the other options that would control this. Anyone have this issue before?

Your phone is fried. Water and electronics don't mix. Bring your phone, and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement.

Phone key tones are audible now even though keyboard click noise turned off

My phone key tones are audible now even though keyboard click noise turned off. i have turned keyboard clicks on and off and turned iphone on and off but still happening.

Why do you believe keyboard clicks and dialing tones are connected in some way? Neither one has anything to do with the other.

When I use AC Adapter, Ipod turns on and off

I will try to explain this the best I can, here goes...
When I use all the battery in my ipod, so that it is completely dead, and I attempt to plug it into the AC adapter, the ipod turns on and off. I can hear the hard drive clicking on and off. It will not stay on; it just keeps doing this. However, if I plug the ipod into my computer, it will charge.
Do people think that this is a problem with my ipod or with the AC adapter?
I'd appreciate any feedback or if people have had a similar problem, let me know.
Thanks so much.

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

It will only delete your backup from iCloud.

Where in gods name is the homesharing button, I see a little cloud that you cannot click on and tells you what account you have but thats is. There's an option for turning on and off homesharing, but no button to access the actual library of the other PC

Where in god’s name is the homesharing button, I see a little cloud that you cannot click on and tells you what account you have but that's it. There's an option for turning on and off homesharing, but no button to access the actual library of the other PC. On either PCs. Both are logged in and both are registered for homesharing. however because apple keeps updating and moving things around for no reason there appears to be no way of accessing the homsharing button in the latest version of itunes. the website refers to " Once set up, all the libraries from your computers you've enabled Home Sharing on will show up in the SHARED area of iTunes:" well I have searched all over in the recent itunes versions and there is no "shared area" to be found.
Please find the attachment of a screen cap of my itunes.
If anyone can help by telling me where it has been moved to or if it even still exists that would be much appreciated.

When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I select the photo, click print and the preview shows there is a lot of the photo cut off. It also prints this way. How can I print the whole picture?

After selecting File > Print, a pop-up window should appear. Select "Customize" and this should take you back into a panel within iPhoto. Towards the bottom, you should see an option for "Layout". Select this option and choose the correct photo orientation.
Hope this helps!

When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer, a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

Could you explain what you mean by 'Someone has hacked my things'?
