Error with Ipod - any suggestions?

Hi
I've had my Ipod for a good 3 to 4 years now and it has been great up until 3 days ago when it decided to display an error message with a picture of an unhappy Ipod, also it is making a repetitive noise that keeps going until it turns itself off. I have looked at the online support and I haven't really been able to reach any conclusions or fix it - - If anybody has any hints or tips about what is wrong with it or how I can fix it then I would appreciate this greatly. It may just be that it's reached the end of it's life and it's time to invest in a new one but hopefully not so if anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

    If you are getting a network timeout error then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. If it's a different error then if you say what it is somebody might be able to help.

    Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane.  This brings you to the Summary tab.  Locate and click on the Music tab.  What configurations do you have made from under this tab?  Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

  • When sharing a videos I get a rendering error: -50.  Any suggestions?

    when sharing a videos I get a rendering error: -50.  Any suggestions?

    I have an iMac, Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, memory: 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, OSX 10.7.5, FCPX 10.0.8. I have no third party plugins. First time responding to community. Forgive any protocol errors.
    Been working on variety of work projects for months prior to update with no problems. Took time off for a simple new project after updating to 10.0.8. Finished this small (11 minute) new project that is a combination of video and stills, with a few titles and simple transitions. Plays fine within FCPX, however, ran into same problem that started this chain, ie cannot share/export without getting same error message stated above related to a faulty frame.
    Tried several share/export Master File settings. Tried moving project (from within FCPX) to another drive which resulted in same error message, but related to other different frames. Tried replacing original data in affected frame with freshly exported replacement files using QTime. Same problem again. Was able to export to Compressor, but resulting ProRes 422 file was so jumpy it wasn't usable.
    Tried suggestions of Mark M 98021 and Hank LV, ie, halting all rendering in preferences and deleting render files. After this, I was successful in sharing/exporting at will.
    I have several other major projects that I am afraid to return to. I'm not an expert at the inner workings of FCPX and don't have time to keep dealing with this issue. I can leave rendering off, but not a satisfactory solution. Not sure if old rendered files might become infected.
    It would seem that there is a problem in the update. I hope this is corrected so I can continue with my work.

  • My screen blacks out and computer starts up again due to an error. Anyone any suggestions what could case this?

    My screen blacks out and computer starts up again due to an error. Anyone any suggestions what could case this?

    Hello nattygrimm,
    I was looking into the issue you are describing and found a great resource to try and fix the issue without having to re install the OS. It is an article called Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199.
    I recommend starting here:
    The first and easiest test to try is to see if the issue affects a different user account on your Mac. Each user account has customized preferences and other items stored in its home directory. You'll first need to create an additional user if one does not already exist (follow steps a-h below). Then, log out of the current user and test the issue in the new user account.
    If this resolves the issue, there may be an issue with a file in the home directory of the original user account.
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Accounts (or choose Users if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
    Click "+" (or click New User if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
    Give the new user a name and short name.
    Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click the Password tab, and give the user a password.
    Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click Security.
    Select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". This makes the user account an administrator.
    Click OK, or quit System Preferences.
    Work your way down the article as needed.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • HT4061 I have loaded on my lap top, unistalled and reinstalled itunes and keep getting Apple application support error 2. Any suggestions?

    I have loaded itunes on my laptop, unistalled and reinstalled and keep getting "Apple Application support" error 2. Any suggestions?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

  • I can't launch Acrobat XI. I downloaded it and a mandatory update gets an error message: Error 16820. Any suggestions?

    I am very frustrated that after downloading Acrobat XI I can't use it. I get a message that I must install a mandatory update but the update won't download. I get an error message: Error 16820.
    Any suggestions?@

    I think this is a mandatory update for something which (confusingly) is nothing to do with Acrobat XI. See Mandadory update 2.3.0.0 gets error 16820

    Can't access https://www.cmsid.navy.mil/ - receiving this error, (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap) - any suggestions?
    Trying to log in - I'm a navy sailor. Used to be able to access it while I was away in school. Since I returned home, no such luck!

    but the regular http://www.navy.mil/ shows up fine so the subdomain is down or has been removed.
    also the connection isnt trusted that is why you are getting that error message

  • I have iMac and need a good photo editing program to use.  Reviews say aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?

    I need a program where I can remove objects and touch up dead grass, etc.

    Reviews say Aperture runs really slow with Lion, any suggestions?
    To add on to Corky02 answer:
    The recent Aperture release AP 3.3.x is very efficient, both on Lion and Mountain Lion. But you need a decent hardware to support it. The older Macs will have problems with the storage and CPU requirements. For good performance on large raw images plenty of RAM is important, at least 4GB, but 8GB would be much better, and your library should be on a fast disk, preferably on an internal drive. And don't let the system drive get too full.
    Many reports about Aperture being slow are due to putting the Aperture library onto slow disks or acessing  the original image files over the network, insufficient RAM, or corrupted or  ill-designedAperture databases.
    Aperture excels at all kinds of image processing that can be considered image developement - raw processing and color/lighting adjustments, but does not do compositing. If you are shooting raw and want professional image developement I'd recommend to do this in Aperture and not in iPhoto - you will have much more control over this in Aperture (after a steep learning curve). You can also  repair and retouch the image to correct minor blamishes. For graphics compositing and inpainting you can set up an external editor and send your images from Aperture to this external editor - any of the editors Corky recommended would be o.k. for this.
    To see, if you will want the advanced image processing in Aperture or the easy to use, more basic options in iPhoro will be sufficient to you have a look at the Aperture User manual, or the tutorial on the support page: Aperture Support
    But Aperture is a professional apllication, not "plug and play". You should only consider it, if you are willing to spend some time on learning to use it properly and are willing to work your way through the manual.

    I have a samsung scx 4100 series and i just updated to mountain lion and now i keep getting a "filter failed" error, anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it.

    Hi again, when you clicked on Mountain Lion and Lion in the App Store you are telling the laptop to reinstall them both.
    You may have allowed simutanious downloads checked at the bottom of the window, I don't know, but I expect Mountain Lion is downloading, so Lion is waiting for it to finish, so if you have Mountain Lion installed cancel both download's.
    Cancell both downloads anyway.
    Go to the apple logo , top left, click on it, then click on about this mac, a window will open telling you what's installed,  Mountain Lion is OX 10 version 10.8.2 click on more info, to find out more, Lion will be OX10 version 10.7.4.
    Only update were it say's check for updates, not download now.
