Froze on Accessorize Test!!! Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!

my ipod is froze on an accessorize test and says "please plug FW"
I have no idea what that means and i have no idea how it got on that page. The screen is white with black writing. I really don't know how to fix it. It wont reset and it wont connect to my computer. It is not responding in any way.
Can someone please please please help me. What can i possibly do to fix it?

What's an "accessorize test"?
says "please plug FW"
It says that (in those exact words) on the iPod's screen?
If it's locked up with the screen ON and doing the two-button reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
does not work (no response), just let the iPod sit disconnected until the it goes off due to lack of power. Then connect it to charge and try using it normally.
If does respond to doing a reset, but it keeps going back to an error screen, that is different from "not responding in any way." Please post back.

Hi BellaVespaLady,
from your post I can see you were running the diagnostic mode of the iPod, the FireWire cable was plugled.
Simply reset the iPod holding 'Menu' + 'Action' key for for over 6 seconds.
It should return to normal.
I hope it helps.

have you tried restarting the iPod? hit menu and the center button together until the screen turns off.

My ipod 30GB reads---Accessorize test :( PLAESE HELP!!!!!!

PLEASE HELP ME! My ipodGB reads "accessorize test". below that it says "please plug FW, LCD ID:1, FWPWR:0" what do i do? i can not use it, or plug it into my computer...but the backlight stays on. i have tried to reset it many times. i also do not want to be charged to fix it . plaese help me, im lost without my ipod!

Interesting, the link you were given has a similar test within it but to get to it you have to reset and then when the apple logo appears hold down the centre and the rev buttons. When you do that the apple logo reverses and you get a list of tests as shown in the link you were given. I'm guessing you haven't done that?
I haven't ever seen a diagnostic test come up on screen without going into diagnostic mode but perhaps there is some simple test built in just to test accessories.
Usually with the other tests you just do whatever is asked and you get a pass or fail. You can usually exit by doing a reset where necessary or sometimes by pushing the menu button but you've probably tried that.
The other option is to do what it asks and see if you can exit by going through them.
"Please plug FW" means plug in a firewire cable, connected to something probably, so if you have one, plug it in.
LCD ID:1 simply means your screen is connected.
FWPWR:0 means that your ipod is not drawing power via a firewire connection.
If you plug in your firewire cable it should change to a 0.
It is possible that will be the end of it or alternatively you will get another screen asking you to plug in your usb cable and possibly your head phones and a remote.
Hopefully the remote test will be optional because you may not have one!
In these kind of tests a 0 means no or not present and a 1 means yes or working ok or connected.
Having written all this, probably the quickest way to find out how to stop it is to call Apple!
If you get a test for the click wheel you will need to scroll it around and around several times until it says pass or possibly in both directions.
You may get a "key test" which means just push all the buttons.
Good luck and interested to hear what happens.

I can't remember my mac mini password and can only log in under test, please help

I can't remeber my Mac mini password and can only log in under Test. Please help me as I would like to access my photos and personal information. Thanks

Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you cannot do the above then try this:
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
     you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
     then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
   1. Type fsck -fy
   2. Type mount -uw /
   3. Type passwd <username>
I have never tried this method myself.

I cannot install, only hard drive test. please help!

hi,
my iBook G4 crashed about 2 months ago and I got a new harddrive but it came with no operating system. I borrowed a friend's disks but everytime I put in disk 1 it will only go to Hard Drive Test and I cannot make it go to a section where I can actually reinstall. I have tried pressing command, c, command and c, and nothing. every time it goes to the Hard Drive Test and I have already run it and I passed.
the girl with the disks also has an iBook G4 and I do not understand what the problem is. she just bought it after I did.
I bought my laptop in the US but I am currently in Denmark and could not get Apple to actually fix my laptop but there should be no problem.
please help!

heychristaay,
As I asked in My Previous Reply;
"What OS was installed on your iBook before you replaced the HD?
Have you tried installing, using either the disks that shipped with the iBook, or a Full Retail Version of an OS, that you may have upgraded to? Your own disks?'
If the borrowed disks, do not look Exactly like THESE, they will not work to install Panther 10.3.x.

Novice Java Test- please help!

hi I'm new to java and am required to know how to program a certain problem.
please any help is much appreciated. If you can solve the problem that would be nice or if you could tell me how to go about solving it that would be fine too.
here's the problem:
"1. Write a class UniDBug that models a bug moving along a horizontal line, the x number line. The bug moves either to the right or left. Initially, the bug moves in the direction it is facing, but it can turn to change its direction. In each move, its position changes by one unit in the current direction. Provide a constructor and default constructor. (Default constructor not shown)
Public Bug(int intialPosition, int facingDirection)
// facingDirection 1 means to the left, and 2 means to the right
and the following methods:
public void turn()
public void move()
public int getPosition()
2. Write the test program for this class with two bugs, *redBug*, and *blueBug* facing each other, one starting at position 15 and the other at position 3. They should take enough steps to both bugs meet at location 23. Include a print statement whenever a change happens and make sure you identify the bug and the location."
again any help is much appreciated
thank you for your time

thx im gonna do that right now:
"public class UniDBug
     Public Bug(int initialPosition, int faceingDirection);
     UniDBug myBug = new UniDBug();
     public void myBug.drive(100);
     public void move();
          public int getPosition(x);
               position=3;
                    public void turn(1,2);"
obviously, it needs a lot of work

try finding it in

and open hosts with notepad

Try a reset.

Reconfigured itself, now stuck on test page, please help

I went to go listen to my ipod on my way home from work this morning. When I turned it on, it went to a weird screen and said it was reconfiguring. I followed all the prompts it told me to. However, it came to a to a certain screen and it wont let me do anything. the black strip up top reads "accessorize test", it follows with "please plug FW LCD ID : 1 FWPWR : 0" I pressed all the buttons, nothing. I tried holding down the play/pause button and it wont even shut off. When I finally got home, I plugged it into a power source, still nothing. I thought maybe it needed to be hooked to the computer. clicked on itunes and its not even recognizing that its plugged in. I really cant get it to do anything. I dont know what to do. Ive had it over a year so I cant find an appropriate tech support number. it says accessorize but you cant really hook it up to any accessory thing so I have no clue. PLEASE HELP ME

Help! I was downloading apps and my 4th generation froze, so I turned it off and restarted it twice. And it is just on the screen with the apple i dont know what to do. Please help!

I was downloading apps that i deleted and my 4th generation froze. So i turned it off and restarted it and nothing happened. It is just showing me the apple screen after you restart it. I dont know what to do please help!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod 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.

PLEASE HELP 2/24/13 Brand new iPod Touch 5th Gen froze on set up and I tried to shut it down and it was on the apple logo screen for a long time and it shut down but now it won't turn on! PLEASE HELPPPPPP

DESPERATE PLEASE HELP So my mother got herself an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and barely asked me to set it up last night, (BRAND NEW NOT OPENED YET).. I set it up not plugged into iTunes (directly on iPod). I was setting up a new iTunes account for her (got passed Wi-fi set up and location services) and as I was doing that, it mysteriously froze somehow. So I held the home button and power button down simultaneously, which I thought would restart the iPod/shut it down.. so it did, and it was on the apple logo screen for a LONG TIME.. and when I checked after a long time, it was black. I tried to turn it on, charge, and plug it into itunes (iMac computer) and it won't turn on!!!!! PLEASE HELP

Sounds like you may have a harddrive issue. You are probably going to need to get that changed out and then install the OS X again to get it going.
