Help!! iPod is acting strange!

Hi,
I have had this problem start about three days ago (Jan. 25th). When I turned off my iPod for my French class, it did. But then later, I hear some loud music coming from somewhere. I look around, and its not from anyone. I glance down, and my iPod is on! My headphones are blasting the music, and I remove it from my belt clip to turn it off. Strange. It's playing a different playlist from when I turned it off, 3 minutes ago! I was playing some pop, and now its playing rap! I turn it off, and the day goes.
The next day, I leave my iPod on my table while I do some chatting on MSN. Suddenly, I hear whirl of a hard drive. It's not my computer, it sounds like something from an iPod...I look over, and its on! It already played through 6 songs on my rap playlist and was to re-load its cache, on its 7th song. I turn it off, and nothing happens later on.
The very next day, I come from my kitchen after having some pizza for lunch, lean down and turn my computer on. I suddenly hear a whirl of hard drive, the same sound. I look to my iPod, and its on its 7th song, about to re-load its cache, agian. It's playing a different set of songs, and the same playlist as yesterday, but different songs. It looks as if it re-loaded the same rap playlist and started playing it, in diffrent orders. (I have shuffle songs on) It used up about half of battery capacity since 3 days ago, and I'm afraid that it will turn on at middle of night or in middle of a class and drain the battery. Anyone have solution?

This happened to me and turned on during R.E class! It doesn't happen that often though. Perhaps take out the earphones after turning it off to prevent it playing but i'm not sure about the battery sorry.

Why is my Ipod shuffle acting strange?

Ever since I put certain songs on my Ipod Shuffle, it has acted strangely with those somgs. For example, when I try to skip one of the songs, it instead goes back to the beginning. The same thing can be said for going back in the song list. Sometimes, after doing it fast enough, it changes the VoiceOver language for no reason from English to a language I can't identify. This is even wierder when the song title is in English. Some of the songs I added are not llayed at all, or when I play a voiceover of one of the songs, then go back to hear the name of it again, it says a different title. This happens only with these songs, which is about 8 sings, but the Ipod only plays 5 or 6, and it says one title one second, and another title the next. Is it the audio files? I have erased all of the music, then re-synced it, but it did not help. This problem is very complicated and strange. Also, this all happens when the songs are in order, as I do not listen to music when it is shuffled.

Puede que se haya averiado. Llévalo a tu centro Apple más cercano. A lo mejor es problema de las canciones. Prueba formatearlo y luego meter otras canciones. Si pasa lo mismo será mejor hacer lo que te he comentado antes. Espero ayudarte y suerte con tu problema.

PD. ¿Eres español? Por favor vótame soy nuevo en esto y tengo muchos cocnocimientos pero la gente no me responde. Gracias y otro saludo.

Ipod Touch acting strange

My ipod touch is acting really strange. Several things are happening, but I think they are connected somehow because they all started at the same time. First, when watching movies the screen expands and contracts. It's really distracting. Second, when listening to music or audio books, the display screen (with the song, play/stop/fwd/rwd) reverts back to the playlist screen. If I want to fwd to the next song, I have to hit "now playing" to get back to the screen with the song on it. Third, If I am scrolling down my songs, the screen will automatically shoot back up to the top of the list (the A's, for example)without me even touching it, and before I actually have time to make a selection. Has anyone else had these problems? I can't find any information on it. I have tried cleaning my screen and "restoring" my Ipod....both by hitting the two buttons on the touch and while synced to Itunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My advice would be to just go into an Apple Store and get it checked out with all these problems. If you don't have a store near you, you should arrange a call with an expert on the Apple website. Go to the support page, go to the bottom and select 'Contact Us'. Then choose what you want to do.

My iPod is acting strange. It keeps shutting down every time I try to edit a photo! What's wrong?

Every time I try to edit one of my photos on my iPod touch it shuts down!

There is a bug in iOS 5.1.1. You have to wait for an update (if you have a 4G). If yo have a 3G iPod there may be no further updates.

Check this link regarding the keyboard:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
The only things that would make noise would be the fans, or hard drive or optical drive if you have one depending on the version of 2012.
You can take it to an Apple store Genius Bar for a free diagnosis/evaluation

Help! My keyboard is acting strange : (

Help! My keyboard is acting strange. I just moved and when I started to type in my Mac Book Pro after not using it for a few weeks, every time I typed certain letters, two other letters in the same column appear (eg: when I type c, edc appear or frv when I type r). Numbers seems to work well though. Any ideas?

When you moved did you pack up your mac and did it have anything pressing on the lid and keyboard area?
Try a SMC reset and if that doesn't fix it you need to go to apple and probably have the keyboard replaced.

ZEN MICRO PHOTO ACTING STRANGE PLEASE HELP.

I have had my Zen MicroPhoto for a bout a month now and it is great! I use it quit often. However just yesterday, it began acting strange.... It deleted many of the files that I originally transferred to it and whenever I start it up, it says "rebuilding library" Also it does not display the now playing info for teh current track. it only displays "choose a track from music list" It will play songs and stuff but it just seems strange..... I do not know what to do about it.... Should I reinstall the firmware or what? please someone help me.... I would appreciate any advice on the subject... I freakin' love using my ZenMicro. help me save it. Thank you.

aaron78: Follow the advice in the section "My Zen is not behaving properly, won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?" in the FAQ.
Snoweagle: Reloading the firmware shouldn't erase the data, although you should ALWAYS keep a backup.

Powerbook acting strangely....help!

Hello!
My Powerbook g4 17 has been acting strangely the past two days. It all started when I had both Safari and iPhoto open. I got the Beach ball of death and my computer froze (I had been getting the SBBOD on occasion, but never had it caused a full blown freeze before). I tried all the force quit commands and finally I had to manually shut it down. It had trouble restarting, it would chime but then it wouldn't get past the first screen with the grey apple symbol. I turned it off and let it "rest" overnight. The next day it turned on fine, but the computer's "thinking" noises sound different. More of a buzz now than the usual clicking and whirring noises. The power button also makes a strange "BEEEEOOOOooooop" noise when I turn it off, which is also new.
To make a long story short, I tried to run disc utility and it froze on me again when it finished. I had to hard start it (and again, and again, and again...)and it won't go past the first screen UNLESS I let it sit turned off for at least 5 minutes. Once I do manage to get it turned on, it acts fine for maybe a half and hour or so until it slows down (thinking gets labored) and freezes on me again.
Any ideas on what may be going on? I'm worried it's something really bad.....

Thank you BGreg.
I have 27GB free out of my 80GB drive, so no issue there...
I tried to do the boot up with the OS X install cd witn no luck. I was on the phone with AppleCare last night for over an hour and after trying many different things, it seems I am going to have to mail it in for repairs.
Here I was hoping it'd be something simple.
And of course, I backed up as much as I could. I'm crossing my fingers!

Updated and now my iPod is acting weird...

I upated and restored my iPod a couple weeks ago. I saw where it said update and I thought that would make my iPod a little bit faster, however, ever since I did that my iPod has been acting strange. First my unlock slide bar, it wouldn't slide. Next the iPod would black out and wouldn't cut on. Its been like that for about 3 weeks now? However when I went to take it off charge a couple min ago to see if it worked it let me slide it open, its still a little hard to slide open because I have to kinda use my finger tip.. near my finger nail. When I opened my iPod the game and texting icons were gone. All the icons open that were left expect for my music icon. There is a new icon I didn't see before called "Game Center". I can't connect to my wifi. I feel as if when I updated my iPod to the newest version on my itunes account it did something wrong to my iPod. Is there any way I can get my first generation back to were I had it?? HELP PLEASE!!!

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

Safari is acting strangely on several counts

For the last several days, Safari is acting strangely on several counts. I haven't downloaded any updates or plugins recently, and I am not aware of any Safari viruses on Mac OS X, so I'm totally lost here. Please help!
1. Periodically, Safari will stop loading a page completely. So it will start and then the url bar will be partially blue and the circle will keep circling but nothing will happen. Once it does this on one tab in that window, it will start doing it on all new tabs opened up in that window, but any original tab there might still go through. If I close the window and reopen another window, all sites on all tabs will go right through. I tried disabling DNS prefetching, and that helps Safari behave for a few minutes, then it goes back to such strange behavior. I tested using my wireless and using a different network, and it happens on both, so it's not my router. Sometimes, opening a new window doesn't help. So I shut down Safari and restart. Sometimes that doesn't help either, so I end up having to reset Safari. Obviously, having to reset Safari multiple times a day is neither productive nor ideal.
2. When it does that url thing, it also seems to become incapable of completing from history or bookmarks. So for example, if I open a tab and type a website name, it won't complete it, even though I have that bookmarked. Generally when that happens on the first tab of a window, I can pull up the site from bookmarks and it will load immediately. But the next tab I open in that window, will do the webpage not loading business I described in #1 above.
3. A short while ago, i tried resizing a window and it did the strangest thing where it would expand the window space, but just give me a "gray area" rather than expanding the whole web page. I closed the window, opened a new one and resizing worked fine again.
4. A short while ago, another strange happening: everytime I opened up a new tab in the window and loaded a site, it would merge that tab with my old tab and delete the first tab, so at any given time, it was just a single tab window. I closed the window and reopened, and voila normal tab behavior again.
Strangely, if I have two windows open - as I often do - only one window will be affected by such strange behavior. The other one will function normally. But such odd behavior is not limited to instances when I have two windows open. It's also happening when there's one window open. For reasons I do not understand, it seems something in the processes of a window gets corrupted after a little while on Safari and that window starts acting strangely.
Odd and irritating and difficult. I'd greatly appreciate your help!
I'm using Safari 5.0.6 on OS X 10.5.8... thanks!

I don't see anything in your post regarding the Safari cache. BTW, a "reset" does not empty the cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache. Restart your Mac, try Safari.
If that didn't help, quit Safari if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try Safari.
If nothing above helped, make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If nothing above has helped, try Safari in another user account. If you see the same issues there, log back into your admin account.
Launch Disk Utility. Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.

IPad mini acting strange. Apps open and close randomly. Any ideas?

My iPad mini acts strange. Apps will randomly open and close and I have no control over it. I have reset it to factory and started all over but it is still doing it. Any ideas on what I should do?

If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless... Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

New Socket() acting strangely under Windows

Hello,
First a little background:
I have a client application that connects to a server application through a socket. The client first checks to see the server is 'reachable' using the .isReachable() method. If this return true, all is good. If it returns false, the application sets up to use a Microsoft Windows DUN connection and VPN to connect to the server. This is handled through a 3rd party .jar file called jdialup. Oh, one more thing, the client pc is connected to the network through a hub. In other words, the pc is connected to a hub. The hub is connected to the network using it's up-link port... Everything so far is pretty simple enough...
Now the issue:
If I disconnect the network cable from the back of the pc and run my client application, it says that the server is not reachable, which is fine. The application then dials out to our ISP and connects to our VPN. The client application connects to the server application through a socket and sends the request and receives the response. The client then disconnects. Everything is GOOD.
Now, if I disconnect the network cable from the up-link on the hub, thus removing the client pc from the network, this is where the strangeness happens! I run my client application, it again says that the server is not reachable, which is fine. The application again dials out to our ISP and connects to our VPN. This is fine. Now though, when I attempt to make the socket connection to the server, it times out! The actual call to
Socket socket = new Socket(ipaddress, port);times out...
This seems very strange to me... Any ideas?
PS: In both situations when I connect to the VPN, I can ping and telnet to the server. It is the Socket call that is acting strange...
Thanks,

I've been following this and I'm baffled by the
discussion so far. Has the thread been trimmed? I believe we got off on a tangent, but the problem is that in certain circumstances the client application tries to connect to the server application the call the 'new Socket()' times out... You will have to read my original post...
Anyway, I believe that I have figured it out. It was related to the gateway option in the network setup on the client pc.
Originally I had the gateway option set to be an ip address internal to our network. Our network guy said that in this situation, I needed to set the gateway to an ip address outside out network. When I did that, everything now work beautifully. Why? I have no real idea as I am not a network guy, but it work now and I am happy...
Thanks for everyones help and sorry for all the confusion.

Last night Adobe PS CC updated and it's acting strange

Adobe CC PS updated last night and so Adobe CC PS (2014) updated. Now when I upload to Bridge and open ACR I have the old sliders, not the new ones and my ACR Presets are acting strange and not working like they were before. Does anyone know why? Should I try to delete one of the programs? I work on an IMax . Newest system updates. Thanks in advance
Julie
[email protected]

I showed a screen shot of what happens when I open my photo in PS.
So here are the other screen shots. I select the Preset I've always used.
Which changes my ACR to 2003:
Then I have to click on the I icon thing at the bottom of the grey to convert back to present ACR. (see below)
All of my images are taken with a Canon 6D just a few weeks ago. Does that help?

Safari's Tabs Acting Strange After 10.6.4 Update

Hi guys,
After the 10.6.4 update Safari's tabs have been acting strangely. Say I have Apple.com open in one tab and I hit Apple-T to open a new tab. It then changes that tab (which Apple.com was loaded on) to the Top Sites, keeps the focus on this tab, then opens a blank tab right next to it. I effectively lose the page I was using and a blank one appears. Any ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks for the help!

HI,
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still having problems...
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
And if you didn't repair disk permissions after you updated Safari, it's a good idea to do that.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
