HELP PLEASE ANYONE my ipod is messed up

never had an issue with my 30gb ipod. until today, i just get home, a song just ends, and than, it shuts itself off, i can't turn it on, nothing (and its not dead, i checked battery life all day, it was well over half).
So i open my itunes, and hook up my ipod to my pc, and itunes says your ipod has been corrupted, you need to restore it. So I click restore, it downloads this thing saying something about bug fixes for my ipod version 1.2.1 . it downloads, and than i think it automatically began installing, and while installing itunes froze. nothing happened, still no response on my ipod
so i go to restart my pc, my pc won't boot all the way up, i turn it off, try to restart it again, it wont boot up again. i unhook my ipod, and start up my pc, and it boots up fine.
i hook up my ipod, go to itunes, itunes wont start. i unhook my ipod, and itunes will start, i hook up itunes, and same process again, says its corrupted and i need to restore it, i click restore, download the bugs fix thing, it starts installing and freezes itunes
HELP ME, if nobody can help whatsoever, pls leave a support # i can call, this is crazy, the ammount of gd money i pay for this thing to do this to me, i really hope it can be fixed or i'll be ******

These types of problems are best diagnosed and repaired when a technician can work with the hardware directly.
When I have problems like that with my Mac and peripherals, I take it all in to an Authorized Service Center for expert tech support to sort out and fix. I would do that in the case that you have mentioned here.

Help please!-new ipod

Hello all, this is my first post.Can someone please advise me on a couple of simple points/scenarios.I have read the recent manuals, but can't seem to find anything specific to these questions.itunes is completely new to me :
I have just bought a new 30gb video for me, and a ipod nano for my daughter.I have just put 200 albums into the itunes library. Before I add them to my 30gb ipod, I want to make sure I don't mess up right at the start.
Question 1. If I just connect my ipod to itunes and let it sync automatically, can I change this to manual at a later date, and then add manually if I wish, or if I let it sync automatically from the start, is that it for all future connections to itunes (is there no going back)?
Question 2. How does this affect me connecting and syncing my daughters ipod nano to itunes if I have synced my ipod to itunes prior to this?
Question 3. Obviously I don't want my 10 year old daughter to have all of what I have saved in the itunes library.Therefore I'd like to create a seperate bit to add her cd's to the library and add manually to her ipod.What would anyone advise is the best way to do this. Otherwise, If I don't create a seperate folder, then surely when I add /import one of her cd's onto the computer, it's just going to go into the main library which I don't want.What I'm saying is that I'd like to gave the main library for my stuff, and a seperate folder for her stuff without it being in the main library - because then surely if her stuff is in the main library, then when I go to sync my ipod again at a later date, it's going to dump her stuff on my ipod also? Yes?
Question 4. I have also just bought a new laptop and have donwloaded the latest version of itunes onto it.I haven't done anything else with it.What would be the best way to copy the library from my main computer to the laptop - would you advise external hard drive, or using the ipod? Also, on the laptop, if I was just to connect my ipod to this, would it automatically take the music from the ipod and dump into the new itunes on the laptop.
I work away from home alot, and basically want a duplicate library on both machines.Any advice??
I have windows XP on the main home computer and the new laptop has vista on it.Would this affect anything?
Any help on these matters is greatly appreciated.Thanks to you all.

"I have just bought a new 30gb video for me, and a ipod nano for my daughter.I have just put 200 albums into the itunes library. Before I add them to my 30gb ipod, I want to make sure I don't mess up right at the start"
When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
b) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:
Using Windows XP User Accounts

Help please! my ipod wont sync with my libary anymore..

Can anyone help? - my ipod is only picking up a few songs from my libary yet it worked fine before!
My libary has 1702 songs and seems fit and well but its only syncing 630 to the ipod. This has only happenned in the last few weeks - i have downloaded the new itunes today but still the smae problem.
I've tried to restore with no results (in fact there is now less songs than before!)
Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks.

Hi Mike_200207,
Does it work if you manually manage your iPod's music?
To switch to that setting, click on your iPod in the Source List of iTunes, and go to the "Music" tab. Deselect the "Sync" option, and click on "Apply" in the bottom-right corner of this iTunes screen to save your settings.
Then, in iTunes, click on your iPod's "Music" section. Manually select all of the songs, and delete them off of your iPod. Then eject/disconnect the iPod from your computer.
Now, connect it back to the computer again, and try to manually transfer all of your iTunes library songs to your iPod (to do that, select all of the songs, and drag them to your iPod's name in the Source List of iTunes).
After the songs have loaded to your iPod, you can eject/disconnect it again, and see if all of the songs that you transferred appear on the iPod.
For more information on how to manually manage your iPod's music, see this:

Mew...Help please sister's ipod not working!

Mine of course if fine but hers seems to just turn on and then the green light stays on and won't go off. I think I have tried to reset it but it does nothing. The computer recognizes and downloads songs onto the ipod but will just not unfreeze off of the freaking green light. If you know the answer please tell me!

Sorry, I don't have a solution, but I have the same problem. I have songs downloaded onto itunes and it plays, and it shows I have songs on my ipod, but when I take my ipod off the computer and turn it on nothing happens. All I see is the green light. It's so weird because it worked before I deleted all my old songs and put new ones on it, and now it doesn't. I think my problem is that I should buy songs from the itunes store instead of downloading them off of mp3 sites, I don't know what to say about yours...Does my problem sound like yours??? Sorry if I couldn't help.

I was using my ipod when the screen froze,then it went black/gray with messedup pixels and lines everywhere.I already tried plugging it in and connecting it to my computer,but nothings shows up in itunes, and my ipod doesn't respond to any buttons.Plus it won't go off.Someone please help; i don't want to have to replace it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

How do I have 2 itunes accounts on my mac book-1 for me(which is already on) and one for my partner who's PC has crashed and need to uae my mac book to sync his phone. Help please anyone?

I have a mac book which has my itunes account on it. My partner's PC has crashed and I want to get his itunes account on my mac book so that he can sync his phone. Can someone help me with how I do this please?
Many thanks

Thank you for the reply.
ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.

Intermittent Internet Connectivity Problem. Sometimes freezes Windows XP. Help please, anyone?

We switched from Comcast to Veriozon FIOS about a month ago. Everything has been fine with the internet connection until recently. I have two computers running Windows XP SP3, hardwired to the Verizon wireless router. One has Norton and one has AV Antivirus programs running. Computer 2 suddenly started strange, occasional symptoms. Click on a desktop shortcut icon (any of several, such as Yahoo or Ebay). Intenet Explore begins to load and then freezes. Entire Windows seems to lock up. Use Windows taks manager to try to stop NOT RESPONDING IE. Sometimes successful, sometimes we had to just shut down and reboot the computer. Retry internet by clicking on the tray E for IE icon....no problem getting on line. 10 minutes later, leave internet. Try again...XP freezes up.   In many cases a short cut icon to internet would not work twice. Sometimes Computer 2 would go days WITH NO **bleep** PROBLEM. Now for the last week, computer 2 is running properly, but today, good old reliable No 1 is acting up the same way. All OK 70% of the time...big headache the rest of the time.   I even noticed a report from AV antivirus that internet connectivity was lost. Then apparently restored.
Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Thanks for the first two replies.
1. Norton and AVG antivirus ran last night.   No problems. Spybot also was run.   So I don't think the problem is related to Arun's ideas.
2. I have a MI424WR Verizon router.   The WAN light is on solid green, all the time. The Internet light flashes.
The router is fed by coax.
I dont know what bit torrent is.   Computer 2 is only used for Pogo on line simple stupid gaming (I am whining about wife's activities).   My Computer 1 is only used for ebay and simple web activities.
I tried resetting the router once today...helped nothing.
Just now I could not get connected via shortcuts.   BUT---I can always get on line through Outlook Express. And I got here via an email link.
go figure

Help Please anyone good at reading BT hub3 stats

Hi all again, I've asked this question before sorry to ask again, COULD someone please indicate what download speed should I be receiving at my computer in MBps please, Line has been tested by Openreach engineer and been told it is A1,phone wire goes straight to a master socket with a built in filter, no other phone sockets in house, from master socket straight to BT HH3 then a BELKIN Ethernet Cable FastCat5e RJ45 to computer below is screenshot of BT hub manager taken around 8ish tonight. its the 21cn upto well it was 20mb copper line not infinity. All my tests at btspeedtester thingy is wired
screenshot below of home hub thanks for your time.

the answer has not changed since the last time but marginally slower as your connection speed has dropped from 19.43 to 19.24
last time
with a connection speed of 19.43mb that should give a profile of about 17.13mb so your download speed will be less than that so about 16/16.5mb. run btspeedtester and see the results - not beta version

Adobe CS3 programs wont open after reinstalling...help please anyone?

Hello
Im wondering if anyone know how to fix this...
Im running windows vista and my adobe creative suite 3 master collection decided to stop working and started saying there were errors and asking that i reinstall. I unistalled the copy and reinstalled and now the programs wont even open, i get no error messages or anything the programs just dont open no matter how many times their clicked.
Ive uninstalled and reinstalled several times trying to install using my activation code, installing without just as a trial and nothing seems to make a difference. Finally after about an hour of waiting Ive just got a message when opening fireworks saying "Licensing for this product has stopped working" something about unistalling and reinstalling that I didnt manage to catch. This is installed as the trial version so there should be no licensing issue... right?
Has anyone else had this happen to them and does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks

Expander only works form 2 feet away!!! HELP Please, anyone!!

Hello,
After much fiddling and manual labor, I have finally seem to have a link with my range expander. The problem: I can only access the administrative tools and ping when the darn thing is about 2 feet away. Obviously, this defeats the purpose of having this equipment. I currently have the following set-up:
Modem>>>Netgear Router>>>Access Point [wap54g] ((()))Range Expander v.3
The access point has the most current Firmware and is in "Repeater" AP Mode with expander MAC address specified, WEP security enabled across the board.
Due to some IP conflicts, the default IP had been changed (this seemed to work), subnet and gateway are the usual suspects.
I had to input this stuff all manually, so I am wondering if I am missing something. Please pardon if I sound daft - I am one of those who has enough knowledge to be dangerous - but is there something here that I am missing?
Should the gateway point to the access point IP to ensure it is using the point as a resource rather than the router? Any advice would be appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!

Well the linksys wap54g only repeats the signal of a linksys wrt54g or another wap54g.So the first problem may be there between ur access point and the netgear router..
and secondly the xpander cannot work with a device thats already repeating the signal of a router.....logically .
so the best thing u can try is to get a linksys router (wrt54g) and i am sure that rest of the devices will start working fine.

HELP PLEASE My NEW iPod Shuffle wont play

My computer recognizes the iPod, so does ITunes, it says its transferring my songs but when I try to play them the iPod just flashes the error green orange green orange green. I tried to "re-set it" but it just wont play any songs. If I plug it in my computer again it shows that the music is one there. What gives?

check the box "convert higher bitrate songs to AAC 128", do an autofill, and try again.
