    - 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.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Fix for Half Life 2 & Radeon VPU Recover / Crash / Lock up...

    Hi All,
    Just a heads up to a fix for anyone with a Radeon who is suffering from VPU crashes in Half Life 2. From what I can gather, I think that this can occur with a number of different boards and some Nvidia users have also suffered from this... Although they just get a lock-up or a BSOD...
    SYMPTOM: Half Life 2 (and CS:S) will lock up anywhere from 1 second to 30 minutes in to a game. The sound will loop continuously and, if you have VPU Recover enabled, you can ALT-TAB to Windows whereupon you will see a dialogue from VPU Recover asking whether you want to send a bug report to ATI.
    Other games will run fine.
    After searching around a bit, updating drivers, checking temps, running Memtest etc, etc, I have found that the following workaround will address this issue:
    1) Set AGP to 4x in BIOS,
    2) Disable Fast Writes.
    Hope this helps any one else suffering from this issue. This was occuring with Catalyst Drivers 4.12 & 5.1...
    Regards,
    fM

    hi Jazza!
    the best explanation for this that i've seen is that there can be power drain problems in USB 2.0. drop below 500 mA running through the port and everything goes to pot. this may well explain why switching back to USB 1.1 sometimes works like a charm, and also explains why it's important to have the ipod plugged into a high powered USB port rather than a low power port.
    i've seen a confirmed case of a USB connection going west after a scanner got plugged into the beast in question ... periodically i see other reports along these lines, too.

  • Ipod update freeze, firewire problem, possible fix for many.

    Hello all,
    I've been having a problem with my ipod 3rd gen updating in much the same way as many in this forum have throughout a number of topic threads.
    PROBLEM:
    During song/playlist/content (not software update or restore) updating function one of two things would happen:
    - update would freeze at some point of the transfer (5, 74, 687 songs in to the update) and I would have to force quite itunes and, not being able to dismount the ipod through recommended procedure, I would physically dismount the ipod and receive a scolding for improper dismounting of device.
    - system would crash at some point of the transfer yielding the shaded screen and a prompt to restart the computer by depressing the front panel button for two seconds.
    In each of the above cases, no matter how many songs that itunes thought it had transferred, I would only have about a dozen songs on the ipod itself, perhaps indicating a bottleneck on the G4 end of the transfer.
    DEADENDS FOR ME THAT MAY STILL SOLVE PROBLEM FOR SOME:
    - swaping out cables
    - ipod software restore or restore to earlier version
    SOLUTION:
    After contacting Apple support, I was led to the opinion that the problem was with the firewire port itself. This was confirmed by attaching my ipod with my cable to a roomates G5 resulting in a faultless transfer of his song library. I was ready to go out and purchase a new firewire PCI card but decided to research firewire problems in the G4 folder of Discussions. This is where I found the fix to my problem (see links at bottom of document). It would seem that Mac ports, both firewire and USB, have a tendency to bog down after awhile and need to be reset. This can be a addressed by one of three possible solutions. The first and easiest was the solution that worked for me (for other solutions please follow links at bottom of page):
    - powered down and disconnected all firewire and USB cables from the G4
    - disconnected power cable from G4 (for laptops I would guess that the battery would need to be removed, not sure if that causes any other problems though, please research)and let sit for about 30 minutes.
    - reconnected all cables and restarted computer. Ports should be reset at that point
    - I took the added measure to restart my computer once with nothing attached to USB and firewire ports and then powering down with front panel button before connecting cables and proceding with final restart.
    RESULT:
    Faultless transfer of 37.6 gigs of content in less that 45 minutes.

    Good Luck
    GKE

    This worked perfectly for me!!!
    SOMEBODY PLEASE TAG THIS POST!!!
    i have had the problem that everyone has posted about (i.e. - updated iTunes/iPod software and had the update/freeze problem, tried all solutions, to no avail, and was pretty much screwed.)
    JUST DO EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS TO DO (powermac g5, by the way):
    1) power down the computer
    2) unplug EVERYTHING (usb, firewire, power, monitor, etc.)
    3) leave unplugged for 30 minutes
    4) plug power back in
    5) power up from main power button
    6) wait for computer to start back up, then shut down from power button
    7) plug everything back in and power up
    8) restart once more for good measure
    9) update your ipod
    10) take a sigh of relief!
    you are seriously a godsend...only one thing...I BOUGHT A NEW ONE ALREADY!!! i literally bought it the day that you posted this solution. After a month and a half of trying to fix this problem, i finally gave up and bought a 20GB iPod Photo with applecare...cost me about $380.
    no matter, i think i'm gonna sell my "older" ipod to my mom or dad. they'll use it doing whatever they do. plus, that way, if there's any problem, i can fix it for them without feeling bad about screwing over some stranger.
    thanks again, this solution worked perfectly.

  • APPLE PLEASE FIX MY IPOD SHUFFLE FOR ME !!!!

    Ok i am starting to really get annoyed.
    Every single time i have connected my iPod Shuffle to my computer (and i have own two computers within the last year) so i have switched to the newer one, so basically its not my PC's fault.
    Every time i connect it, it messes something up. last time i tried to charge it, it froze my pc. I tried again, it kept on ejecting and reconnecting magically without even moving about. And i always connect the iPod to the REAR USB 2.0 ports that i have, and i have 6 of them.
    So anyways, after RE-installing the latest software updater, and iTunes, and restarting, and trying a thousand times, i somehow managed to get songs on to the shuffle.
    But now we have another problem. When put my ipod in SHUFFLE mode it goes alphabetically from A to B to C (artist wise), and when i put it in Normal mode which is supposed to go alphabetically, it goes randomly from A to D to Z to F, etc.
    Also i have 68 songs on it, and somehow it managed to play the same 10 songs over and over and over, without me even turing it off... acting as if i only have 10 songs on the thing.
    Its been less than a year i have own this, and i dont think i have AppleCare on it, since my Uncle bought this for me around April/May 2005.
    PLEASE HELP, or APPLE PLEASE FIX MY IPOD SHUFFLE FOR ME!

    <sarcasm>Here's a deal ... mail your iPod to me and I'll get it going again or, more likely, confirm that there's nothing wrong with the shuffle itself. That will take ........ ohh, I'm estimating a few minutes. Eventually, when I can find time in my busy schedule, I'll mail it back to you. Be sure to remind me to do that.</sarcasm>
    Seriously, though — do I understand you correctly? You want everyone else to do your homework for you? Okay, fine ...
    You've noticed the 101 Class .... but no, too busy for that. You could just go to the Troubleshooting page, I suppose, and get your question answered directly and who knows? Maybe that would have been more productive than writing up your three separate posts today. You will have to click one or two more times and read a little bit, granted, but I just did all of that in the middle of writing this reply to you.
    Oh, right, I forgot .... too busy to find it. Here you go

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer.  I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it.  Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.

  • Fix for "iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes"

    This is a possible fix for those with the "iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes" problem. This also fixes those have the update/restore problem (ipod disconnects after clicking update/restore in itunes)
    SOLUTION
    SOLUTION
    I had the exact same problems before, iTunes doesn’t recognize iPod after connecting it, I had to use the restart iPod Service method to get it working.
    I tried this on my second computer and it worked perfectly, iTunes recognizes iPod every time I plug it in.
    I compared the process/services opened in both computers, and I turned on some services which were previously on disable(excluding iPod Service). Unfortunately I forgot which services it was, so I took some screenshots and compare these with your services.
    After modifying the services, I tried plug and unplug the iPod several times without closing iTunes, iPod was instantly recognized by iTunes every time!
    I attached the links to screenshots of my automatic services and manual services, ignore the service if its not on your list!
    For those don’t know how to open Services, Start -> Run -> “services.msc”
