IPod touch 3g stuck in recovery mode, but iTunes doesn't detect it.

I tried several times to update the software on my ipod, but each time was interrupted by my computer going to sleep (pc, Windows 7). Now my ipod is stuck in recovery mode, and itunes doesn't detect it at all. The ipod also won't turn off. I have tried all the troubleshooting here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 and here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US. Please, does anyone else have any ideas? TIA

Thanks, I'll try it out, and update here. It might take a little while for the battery to drain without being used.

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 but my PC is not recognizing my CDRom and I cannot download the program. I tried copying the files on the program disc to my hard drive but get a message the installer will not work. I have the redemption code and serial numbers. Can I download the program online somewhere? If I download a trial version for instance will it allow me to enter my serial number and use it for the full program?

Disc stuck in DVD drive

Hi
I have a disc stuck in my drive. When I eject its stats to come out, sounds like it gets wedged, then goes back in again. Is this as serious as I fear and is there an easy way to get the disc out without resorting to striping out the drive.
Many Thanks
Adrian

I am trying to get itunes to burn a disc on a Samsung external drive but I get a message disc burner or software not found. Itunes 11.1.5.5 does recognize a bought disc in the drive.

I am trying to get itunes to burn a disc on a Samsung external drive but I get a message disc burner or software not found. Itunes 11.1.5.5 does recognize a bought disc in the drive.

Try HT203242: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.

Wont burn. Error..."No disc is in the drive. Insert a recordable DVD disc."

Get error message "No disc is in the drive. Insert a recordable DVD disc."
After multiple attempts with "Staples Brand" DVD-R (up to 16x Speed) and DVD-RW (up to 4x Speed) Recordable & Rewritable Disc. I tried every disc in the package (12). None of them will burn? The DVD player still functions. So I don't think it's a hardware problem. Any body got any ideas?

I have burned to "Staples" media in the past (about a year ago).
Staples, and many other 'big box' stores, buy their own brand media from low bidders and so it can come from many sources.
If it was dust, wouldn't that also effect the read ability?
Not necessarily.
I was leaning towards the "Cheap Media" as the main problem
So am I.

My Computer Doesn't Detect My Camera

My computer doesn't detect my camera! Can someone help? (If you haven't noticed, I created this account just to ask this question! Help is greatly appreciated!)
I recently had to do a system restore on my computer. After I restored, I tried to upload photos from my Powershot A4000 IS camera to my computer (I had done it before successfully) only to find that the Autoplay window didn't pop up (like it usually did) and the Hardware Fail sound played. I then tried to start my CameraWindow software manually, but it said my camera wasn't connected. I have several Usb ports on my computer, and I tried all of them. Nothing happened! I'm sure that I'm not missing any essential Canon software and my camera isn't damaged; I barely use it, and the Powershot A4000 support page claimed that I didn't need any extra drivers for my edition of Windows! Help!
P.S. My OS is Windows Vista SP2.

Stupid_Computer,
There are some additional questions I would like to ask that will help me determine what is wrong.
1. Have you tried connecting your camera to a different computer?
2. Do other computers fail to recognize the camera?
3. Do you have any other devices connected to the computer, like a printer, scanner, webcam, external hard drive, etc?
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

My computer doesn't detect my Vision M 30

It started with my player working however the screen was scrambled. I couldn't read anything. So I did the clean-up, format and reset the firmware but now my Vision M turns on and says there is a firmware problem and it says to reload the firmware. The screen is also still scrambled. So I hook it up to my computer but it doesn't detect it. Where is this firmware and How do I get the firmware on my player when my computer doesn't detect it's? I'm lost and don't want to send it in, if I don't have to. Please help!

When you "reset" the firmware, you actually erased it. You can download the firmware from the Creative downloads page. You should check Windows Device Manager to confirm that it is connected, as the Creative programs, like MediaSource won't detect the player if it hasn't booted to an operational mode. As for the screen, something has probably gone bad in either the screen or the main logic board sending the image to the screen, but of course that also brings up the question as to how you were able to read the "Firmware Problem" message.

How do I eject a disc stuck in my drive?

How do I eject a disc stuck in my disc drive? I have tried all the normal eject methods.

Hello stewmail,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the disk that will not eject. I recommend the following steps:
If you can’t eject a CD or DVD
Choose Apple menu > Log Out, and then log in again. Try to eject the disc again.
If you still can’t eject the CD or DVD, choose Apple menu > Restart. While your computer restarts, hold down the mouse button or trackpad button until the disc is ejected.
You can find the full article here (the article title refers to Mountain Lion, but these steps will work for Mavericks too):

HT4904 Help. I have an older 20 inch iMac and had Lion running on it but the internal hard drive died. I'm trying to install Lion on an external drive but it doesn't look like Lion Recovery is supported. I have Leopard installed but am stuck.

Hello,
My 20inch iMac's internal drive died and I'm trying to re-install Lion on an external drive. If I could get the Lion DMG file I think I'd be all set but am not sure how to do this. It doesn't look like the Lion Recovery feature is supported in my older iMac. And I have Leopard installed on the external drive but there's no AppStore to download the Lion DMG file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Lee

Without a bootable backup/clone or a Time Machine backup of your previous Snow Leopard installation or a saved copy of Lion's install app, you'll have to upgrade your Leopard volume to Snow Leopard (10.6.6+) so you can waste another hour or more DLing the Lion thing again.

Replaced my internal hard drive but it doesn't show in finder

my internal drive on my imac was recently replaced by apple but it doesn't show up in finder. How do I correct this?

Finder -> Preferences -> Sidebar
Check the options under Devices as appropriate for what you wish to see.
Regards.

Connected a flash drive but it doesn't show up in devices

I downloaded songs to my flash drive and i want to put them into i tunes but it doesn't show up in devices do I need to look somewhere else. Thanks

Your flash drive won't show up in iTunes, look for it in Windows Explorer, it will probably be labelled Removable Drive.
