Help! my ipod is freaking out!

I dropped my ipod, and it stopped playing music and the screen went blank white. I pressed and held the Menu and the Center buttons, but the screen just went black, and the Apple logo never came up. When I plugged it into my laptop, it beeped 3 times, and iTunes "couldn't recognize" it. It told me to restore it to factory settings, so I did but once it was done restoring, it said it couldn't recognize it and once again told me to restore it. I restored it again, but it just kept telling me it couldn't recognize my ipod, and it would need to be restored. I don't know what to do! Can my ipod be saved, or should I pronouce it dead, and replace it?

this has happened to me before- Plug your ipod into the usb cord and plug it into your computer- follow the instructions that itunes gives you. If it doent work try pluging it into the charger and holding the lock botton
hope one of these works:)

HELP! I am FREAKING OUT about this.

HELP! I am FREAKING OUT about this. Sorry about the caps, i composed the question elsewhere and am pasting. Please someone offer mer some help on this!
RE: my sweet old OS 9.
MY SYSTEM IS NOT CRASHED BUT MY MOUSE ARROW IS FROZEN. THIS OCCASSIONALLY HAPPENS, AND BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU IT IS NOT A HARDWARE (I.E., BAD WIRES, BAD USB PORT, BAD MOUSE) PROBLEM. WHEN MY MOUSE PROBLEMS OCCUR THEY TURN OUT TO BE A SOFTWARE ISSUE, FOR WHICH A QUICK REINSTALL TO ORIGINAL FACTORY SETTINGS ALWAYS FIXES. BUT I OBVIOUSLY CANNOT DO THAT THIS TIME BECAUSE SELECTING THE CORRECT REINSTALL OPTION REQUIRES USE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED FROZEN MOUSE ARROW (IT’S THE THIRD BULLET POINT DOWN THAT YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE FROM THE ROUTINE. OTHERWISE ITS JUST STUCK ON THE FIRST OPTION). OTHERWISE I’M FORCED TO USE ONLY WHAT I CALL THE WUSS REINSTALL OPTION THAT JUST SAVES ALL THINGS IN AN ORIGINAL ITEMS FOLDER, KEEPING THE BAD SOFTWARE LURKING ON THE SYSTEM, KEEPING THE ARROW FROZEN. SO, I’M SCREWED UNLESS I CAN ENTIRELY ERADICATE THE PROBLEMATIC SOFTWARE SOME OTHER WAY, WHICH I COULD DO IF ONLY I COULD EMPTY MY TRASH. SO:
HOW DO I EMPTY OS 9 TRASH USING ONLY KEYBOARD COMMANDS?
AND HOW DO I EVEN INSURE THAT THE LOCKED ITEMS IN THAT TRASH ALSO GET DELETED AFTER I INITIATE EMPTYING THE TRASH?

Hi, Adam -
To use the keyboard to empty the Trash, press Command-Shift-Delete (that's the large Delete button two rows above Return).
Normally, to delete a locked item when emptying the Trash, one would press Option while selecting Empty Trash from the Special menu. However, adding Option to the Command-Shift-Delete combo does not seem to work (just tested it).
If the issue is indeed software based, it should not be at play when the machine is booted to an OS Install CD. That's one of the reasons to boot to a CD - all software on the hard drive becomes nothing more than data files; none of it is in use.
One of the main causes for such behavior when using an Apple Pro mouse is that those mouses had a defect - the wires inside the cable could fray at the point the cable leaves the mouse body, causing random open or short circuits.
Another possible cause occurs when an optical mouse overloads the non-powered hub in the keyboard. This happened to me - it finally killed the keyboard. After replacing the keyboard I came across Apple KBase Article #58649 - Apple Pro Keyboard: Devices Connected. I reconfigured my USB connection scheme so that the mouse was plugged into the powered hub in my monitor, and have not had a similar problem since.

DId you try to jailbreak your phone? Evidently, the computer you're syncing with has been used to jailbreak, or attempt to jailbreak an iOS at some point and there is an entry in the host file that attempts to bypass Apple's authentication servers.
Google is your friend.

My ipod is freaking out!

My ipod is having a completely blank white screen. It started to be pixelated, like a staticy tv. Then it is white, and wont lock, wont exit out,and neither button helps. What do I do?

Hello,
Try reseting your device by holding down both the home button and the power button for 10 seconds.
Your device should then reboot without erasing any data.
If that does not work, then you may have to put the device into recovery mode.
That should do it.

My iPod completely freaked out...

Last week, my iPod froze up on me a couple times. The first time, i was able to fix it... sort of. When I went to listen to it again, it froze after a few songs. Since then, i've tried a bunch of things on the support pages here, but nothing was working.
I've apparantly restored my iPod, as there is no longer music loaded onto it. I was having a problem w/ my iTunes reading my iPod, so i re-installed iTunes and all that fun stuff, and it seems to be working... for now.
The problem right now is, when i went to put my music back on, my iPod shows as having 22GB of space being used up aleady, but there is no music back on there yet.
Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Thanks.
I did the whole restore thing, and it showed no data on my iPod, but when I went to load songs onto it, it gave me an error message (something about a write error? i cant remember what it was exactly).
I ended up just unplugging the iPod, and when i tried to plug it in again, Windows recognizes it, but not iTunes.
I still have a few days left until my 1 year waranty is up (i think) so i might just try to send it in to get repaired. any advice on that?

Why is my ipod touch freaking out! tapping on its own

My ipod is randomaly opeing stuff in the application i am on like i was on safari it was going back and opening article on its own. has any one encountered this before i think its rare. It just taps on its own. I have done restore reset everything its definitly hardware. Has anyone fixed this by replacing the digitizer. Or is it somthing more serious.

Tap Settings / Safari. Clear the History, Cookies, and Cache.
Restart your iPod. Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't make a difference, restore the iPod as new.
How to set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch as a new device
Could be one of the third party apps is causing the erratic behavior.
After you restore as new re sync 5 apps at a time, then test the iPod.

Please help! Mail is freaking out on me!

Mail is downloading thousands of messages into my inbox, i think it's old emails from my yahoo account (the email service i use), but normally in my in-box i have about 100 messages. they keep coming and won't stop, even when i quit mail and go back in, they keep coming. Each message seems to be coming in multiple times. Also, i am not receiving new messages. anyone know what i can do?

And what are all those messages doing on the server? What are your Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings? If you leave the messages on the server indefinitely, Mail may eventually end up losing track of which messages have already been downloaded, maybe as a result of some changes made at the server.
I don’t think you’ll be able to fix this problem without moving a significant amount of messages out of the server’s inbox. You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded by means of Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server — choose Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window.
If the account allows web access, however, it may be preferable to remove the messages from the server that way, or at the very least move the messages to other server-stored mailboxes if the server provides that functionality via webmail.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Help, My computer is freaking out

OK, maybe someone here can shed some light on whats going on (please keep in mine I'm a newbie).
I have a KT3V ver 1.0 (ms-6712)mainboard (says it will support 333 FSB), a AMD 3000+ processor (333Mhz FSB), 512MB DDR SDRAM/PC3200, geforce 4200ti dual monitor vid card, 80 gig HD, XP pro, cd burner, DVD player etc.
I have several questions:
#1 - Why doesnt my computer recongize the 3000+ processor. While playing with settings, it shows as anywhere from 1.275 mhz to 1.725 mhz, is it running at those speeds or is it just not showing the correct info in system info?
#2 - With this set up, I would assume that I should not have any "slow down" issues. However I have a real problem with my music (music match) breaking up severly when opening new programs.
#3 - where is a good place on the net to learn more about overclocking, bios settings etc?
Any help would be greatly Appreciated.
Thanks
Alan

Once you install 1.8 (which is required for your board to recognize the 3000XP), you need to set your FSB frequency to 167 mhz.
Save and Exit.
You\'ll then be running at 2.18 GHZ.
No I havent updated the Bios (I played with settings and froze it up so I've been kinda afraid to change it again)
My board clearly says KT3V with model # ms-6712 version 10A on it, is that wrong?
Why will I only be at 2.18 Ghz? Will this board not handle the 3.0?
If the board & processor says it will support 333 Mhz FSB, why isnt that an option is Bios (only goes up to 280)?
Thanks for your help.

My Ipod touch is freaking out!

This just started happening about a week ago...it seems to be ok when you first turn it on, but after a few moments..it freaks out. For instance, my keyboards--with whatever app, beit email or notes or a game..I try to type a letter--it types everything BUT that letter. And none of the erase buttons work to go back. On the Music--I keep trying to go to Playlists and it keeps flipping to Artists and pursues its own songs! Sometimes I don't even have to touch the Ipod--I just get my finger near it and it picks up the button it thinks I'm trying to touch and goes to whereever! It's like its possessed! It will cut in the middle or beginning of a song and go to whatever other song. It's not on shuffle or genious or whatever...I did a full reset by holding down the two buttons, but that only temporary fixes it. I can't type anything on it because it presses its own letters uncontrollably. Please help..this is a brand new Ipod I just got for Christmas. I didn't get it wet, I've been very careful with it. I do not want a refurb! I have lots of stuff on this 32G! :((

Basics from the manual are restart,reset, restore:

I dropped my ipod touch 4g(black) on the floor at chipotles(concrete) freaking out!!

ok so i dropped my ipod on concrete and now there is a dent beside the screen on the lower sound button when i use my ipod it has this huge black speckly blob by the dent and everything is extremely white it is possible to use it but very annoying and the left side of the screen if i use an app then it fades slowly if i type or try to do something so i can kinda read the right side of the screen but it is very hard i tried white on black and black on white which helped a bit i could see the screen a itsy bitsy bit better. but i am still extremely dramatized cause it took me half a year to earn it and took half a second to fall out of my coat and break. the screen is not cracked and the only outside appearence is the dent and if you look closely when it is off you can see the blob slightly , the blob kinda looks like well around the edges at least kinda like those oil things in puddles how its rainbowy shiny what ever but please help.also i tried restarting it and every else i can think of.

GOD i did pretty much the same think , idropped mine on a chair nd it dented on the lower volume button and at first there was this crack on the screen like a smurf punched the volume button nd left a crater. After i touched the crack a little bit freaking out, the whole screen went white with a small black spot( like the one on yours, but ALOT smaller) after a little while , like 10 min in my pocket, i could see the top of the screen normally(enough to see the time and date while its locked, but the spot is still there nd the rest of the screen is really white. i can make out things easier on the right side, but everything on the left is bright and distorted as if the loer part of the screen was cut in half nd the left side slid down.
But anyways i dont think we can fix this , ive tried pushing out the dent nd now my ipod just has seisures( the screen flashes like a strobe light as it goes from white and distorted to normal nd back)
Might just hav to pay the $99 for apple to replace/repair it

I AM FREAKING OUT RIGHTNOW I HATE MY FREAKING IPOD

i followed all the steps to put my songs on my ipod so that i could put them on to my new computer. then 1083 of my songs say tehres a problem with their files. but i didnt buy the songs or anything they're from CDs.
and i am freaking out right now because i dont want to put all the songs back on, it took forever to do it the first time

Songs that you ripped from a CD won't sync from an iPod back to a computer. It's not a flaw, it's the way it is. I suppose it's to prevent distribution of music. Anyway, there are quite a few programs that can help you accomplish your goal. I don't know whether you are using Mac or PC but for Mac there is a program called iPodRip and there are similar programs available for PC. Most are freeware or inexpensive shareware programs and the place I would recommend finding them is VersionTracker.com. Let us know how it goes.

Help meeeee.... iTunes is freaking out!

ITunes keeps locking up (spinning beachball) whenever I:
1-try to eject my nano
2-Try to quit iTunes
3-My finder freezes too sometimes
I also cannot add music to my nano without it freaking out: beachball spins for an eternity. I've had tp manually shut down my computer several times. I've had to pull my iPod out when it says "do not disconnect." I tried TP2GO's solution here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1239525#1239525
But when the screen came up from booting with COMAND S held down, it kept timing out every 5 seconds and I simply did not have a chance to type in /sbin/fsck -fy as I he directed.
Note-
I keep my iTunes music folder on an external. Recently I noticed some songs were not being saved there, so I manually moved them and then i went into iTunes preferences and confirmed that my music was still being saved to that folder. It was....I think.
Ever since, I've had lots of problems.
Can anyone help????
