HELP ... TROUBLE WITH 4GB NANO

Hi, I got an ipod nano 4 xmas and has worked fine till recently. It didn't work, and when I tried to reset it (menu+select) it comes up with the apple logo and then it fades out with lots of white, fuzzy lines ... and now, it doesn't even do that anymore sometimes ... HELP !!!

All the 600 odd songs on my "broken" iPod are from my old computer which I don't have anymore. If I restore the iPod, I will lose all these songs so should I restore it or am I better off giving it back and getting a brand new one?

  • Please help me with my Nano P

    I recently purchased a Zen Nano Plus and am having difficulty getting my laptop to recognize it. When I connect it via the USB it takes an ungodly long time for it to appear in my Windows Explorer (although I get notification in the lower right of my screen that it's connected).After say 30 minutes of waiting, it finally appears but I can't transfer music or anything. I was finally able to get the firmware update (which I saved to the desktop) to connect with it. Then I got some sort of error message in the process, but it did appear as if the firmware was updated. Last thing I did was reboot and try to connect it again. Nothing appears on the little display panel, I cant even turn it on now and it's not being recognized by my IBM Thinkpad at all. I'm using a USB hub, but I even tried connecting to a USB card and no success at all. I just purchased a Vision:M at few weeks ago and had no problems whatsoever. I initially installed both softwares on the same dri've but put the Nano plus onto another hard dri've in case there was a conflict. But the only conflict I'm having is w/ the Nano plus.

    Looks like there are a lot of us experiencing this kind of trouble with the Nano Plus. I've noticed that when I uninstall the USB 2.0 drivers for my motherboard (Intel 865PE chipset), the Nano Plus works perfectly (although painstakingly slower because it reverts back to USB .). Install it, and the problem occurs. I read somewhere in the knowledge base that certain chipsets from VIA, ALI, Intel and Nvidia have problems working with the Nano Plus. Whether it's the fault of the Nano Plus or the chpset, Creative isn't sure (but that's too many chipset makes against one device... makes it kinda obvious, doesn't it's) Looks like this thing will give you a good time only if you have the right PC for it. Otherwise, might as well get another player.

  • Downloading songs troubles with new nano

    Hello. I recently revieved a new pink ipod nano for the holidays. I am having some trouble downloading songs onto it.
    I curently have one ipod mini and one itunes account.
    I have followed the little instruction thing that came with the new ipod nano but i have no luck.
    [when it told me to turn off the computer it did and it turned back on and nothing really happened after that]
    I would just like the songs to transfer to the new ipod nano. everytime i plug it into my computer it just is charging the battery and is not downloading any of the songs from the existing itunes account. do i need to make a brand new itunes account?
    i would really not like to make a new itunes account on my other computer due to the ammount of space taken up by it.
    i think i am doing it right but having the already existing itunes account has made it difficult? i really don't know and am confused..
    if anybody could help me with this i would really appreciate it!!! i would like to have this problem resolved within the next day or two seeing i am going on a trip.
    not sure     none

    A few questions for you.
    Is this music purchased from the iTunes store you're having difficulty with, or all music?
    How do you normally transfer music? Any error messages?

  • Help trouble with forwarded message

    Hello,
    I realized that many people have this issues as I had recently, but I still need some help about this.
    I found that original sender was actually receiving my forwarded message to other people.  I had an important correspondence to make with my Attorney since February, I forwarded several messages from my opponent to my attorney.  We have been resolving issues very well, but one day, the opponents suddenly changed their attitude and giving me a hard time.  I was checking my older correspondence with the person who was actually mediating the situation and found out that my conversation with my attorney was leaked to the opponents because I hit "forward" to including the original message from the sender(opponent).  The mediator actually saw what I was talking with my attorney.  it was bad enough, the mediator was not telling me she was recovering my e-mail to my attorney.  Now I have a trust issue to my mediator.  It is not professional that mediator leaked my conversation with my attorney to the opponents, but Apple mail set up caused this situation.  Am I wrong?  I want to know if I could avoid this by myself, if it was my problem, I want Apple to teach me how to use e-mail setting correctly ASAP.  In my understanding, it should be my choice if I including the original sender or not when I forward the message to others, correct? 
    Why Apple automatically include the original sender when I forward my comments to others???
    is anyone know to fix this problem?  We act civil to each other and the mediator was taking her position fairly, but once they knew my attorney has more to say to opponents, the mediator revealed her position toward executives in the company (opponent)  My legal issue to justify my position should not be jeopardized by something like this that I cannot control.  Bad thing is I didn't know the opponent are reading my conversation to my attorney until now.  I didn't say anything wrong on the e-mail to my attorney to offend the opponent, but the opponent has been over reacting to the issue with me.  Original issue was mediated by the mediator, but now I need my attorney longer to resolve the issue.  Because of the forwarding message setting with Apple, I had extra problem.  I recently send a message to the mediator and asked if she received any e-mail that should be going only to my attorney, she has no answer.  I don't like any e-mail setting I cannot fix causes this trouble in the future.  I will never forward the message to my attorney and ask a question again, but I want Apple to make better setting to avoid this kind of situation.

  • Please help me with Ipod Nano

    Hi There
    Just got a new ipod nano for Christmas want to set up on my lap top but I don't know where to plug it in to get the set up assistant.

  • Itunes 7.02 not working with 4gb nano

    I have a 2ND generration Nano that Itunes 7.0.2.16 refuses to see. I have the issue on multiple computers, including a brand new unit I installed Itunes on only for testing this
    When connecting, Itunes will auto start as if it recognized the Nano was connected, but it never shows up as a device in Itunes.
    If I put it in Disk mode, Itunes will see it as a device and immediately connect to it, giving mw the option to update or restore. I did this updating the Nano to version 1.3 of the firmaware AND did a full restore, but the problems still exists.
    Windows see's it as a drive and can access it.
    I have tried the 5R's and a new synch cable.
    I have tried changing the Drive letter to no avail.
    I can format it and Itunes will briefly see it, telling me a restore is in progress.
    Everything is fine on the screen (no sad faces etc)
    Any Suggestions?
    I have slo tried the 5R's and a new synch cable

    I would assume that this is an iTunes bug and not a
    problem with the ipod. If the ipod were faulty then
    it would seem that it would not be seen by the
    computer or iTunes regardless of what mode you had it
    in. Have you tried this?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716+
    I had tried some of those, but not all. Since the unit exhibited the same behavior on 3 PC's and a mac, I was sure it was a IPOD problem
    I took it to the Apple store and they replaced it. Hooked it up to her computer. Said "It doesn't work here either" and gave me a replacement. The new one worked great.
    Even if it doesn't do WMA files or work with Windows media player (hint hint), this policy makes the Ipod better than any other competitor!

  • Please Help: Trouble with nested CASE statement and comparing dates

    Please tell me why the query below is always returning the bold null even when the start_date of OLD is greater than or equal to the start_date of NEW.
    What I want to do is get the difference of the start_dates of two statuses ( Start_date of OLD - Start_date of NEW) if
    1. end_date of NEW is not null
    2. start_date of OLD is greater than start_date of NEW
    else return null.
    select id,
    case when max(end_date) keep (dense_rank last order by decode(request_wflow_status,'New',1,0),start_date) is null then
    null
    else
              case when max(decode(status,'OLD',start_date,null)) > max(decode(status,'NEW',start_date,null))
              then max(decode(status,'OLD',start_date,null)) - max(decode(status,'NEW',start_date,null))
    else
    null
    end
    end result
    from cc_request_status where id =1
    group by id;

    Avinash,
    Thank you for your help.. Here is a more description of my problem..
    Here is a sample of data I have for a table with four columns (id,status,start_date,end_date)
    What I need to do is to get difference of the start dates of the maximum available dates, if data is valid. The pseducode is as follows:
    IF end_date of New status is null
    THEN return null
    ELSE
    IF start_date of old >= start_date of new
    THEN return (start_date of old - start_date of new)
    ELSE return null
    I used the following query but always return the bold null
    select id,
    (case when max(end_date) keep (dense_rank last order by decode(status,'new',1,0),start_date) is null then
    null
    else
              (case when max(decode(status,'old',start_date,null)) >=
              max(decode(status,'new',start_date,null))
              then max(decode(status,'old',start_date,null)) - max(decode(status,'new',start_date,null))
    else
    null
    end)
    end) result
    from tbl where id =1
    Based on the below sample, I expected to get the following result; 14-Mar-07 - 16-Feb-07 which is the difference of the maximum start_dates of the two statuses. However the query is not working.. Please help me.. Thank you..
    Id    Status    start_date      end_date
    1     new      03-Feb-07      07-Feb-07
    1     new      16-Feb-07      21-Feb-07
    1     old      '10-Mar-07      12-Mar-07
    1     old      '14-Mar-07      16-Mar-07

  • HELP: Trouble with partial filled arrays

    For HW, I have to write a deleteRepeats static method for an array of characters that deletes any character previously listed and returns the new array size. The example the problem gives is:
    char a[10];
    a[0]='a';
    a[1]='b';
    a[2]='a';
    a[3]='c';
    int size = 4;
    size = deleteRepeats(a, size);
    The problem then says after the code is executed, a[0] should be 'a', a[1] should be 'b', a[2] should be 'c' and size is 3. I read the section in my book on partially filled arrays, but I still can't get this method to work properly. Here is my code:
    public static int deleteRepeats(char[] a, int size) {
    size=a.length;
    for(int i=0; i<size; i++) {
    for(int j=1; i+j<size; j++) {
    if(a==a[i+j]) {
    a[i+j]=a[(i+j)+1];
    size--;
    return size;
    With that code, when I put in the test array [aabcd], it returns 3, when it should be 4 and it changes the array to [abccd]. I'm sure there's numerous problems with my code. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Please post code in code tags.
    First, I have no idea why they make you work with partially-filled arrays. It seems like the worst idea in the world. You should use ArrayLists for this kind of thing.
    Why do you do "size=a.length;" at the beginning of the method? You lose the size information.
    And I don't see how the algorithm does what you want. When you "delete" an element from your list of numbers in the array, you need to shift all later elements backwards to fill the gap.

  • HELP troubles with dynamically generated URLs

    I'm trying to integrate a new shopping cart, but DW CS4 can't follow the dynamic links in the template pages. They render fine in Live View. I can follow the CSS in the CSS Styles panel, but of course, it's not editable. Related files are far from complete and if I try to click on one, I get an error that the file can't be found.
    The templates all contain dynamically generated URLs such as:
    <?php include("${__TPL_DIR__}pages/templates/part.header.tpl.html"); ?>
    The .ini files used have site root relative references.
    Any ideas? Or am I stuck limping along?

    Thanks David,
    I found a few articles in the Developer Center that were helpful in understanding what I was looking at. The articles on creating Drupal and Wordpress themes explained how the pages are created dynamically, as well as how to use DW to modify and create themes. Though the specifics are different than what I am looking at, the concepts are similar. They also confirmed that attaching the relevant CSS files as design time style sheets was a practical workaround in the absence of an add-on to help DW understand the site structure. I was hoping that I had just not done something correctly, but I can live with a workaround, knowing that an "easier" way isn't just waiting for me to learn something about DW.

  • Help, trouble with my OS and device maybe.

    Guys, I heard the new OS 10.3.1 has been released, but my Blackberry hasnt updated yet! Tried BlackBerry link, OTA, Web, none works. It shows that my device has the latest available device software! My BlackBerry is currently on version 10.2.1.3062! Help please? Please? :'( I really wanna use the new OS 10.3.1!! :'(

    As has always been, unless you purchased from ShopBB, then your carrier controls when (if ever) you will receive the update via the official methods.
    If you want to move to it anyway, then I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader method:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using​...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

    If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

  • Please please help trouble with exported quality

    please please help me> i have been searching the net for over 3 hrs for a solution and whatever I have found has been a little too technical for me . I am uploading video to i movie from a disk. the file types on the disk are mp4. I am then editing the clips on iMovie '09 when I go to export the movie I am chosing to export movie as a "large" 960x540
    .mov file. The quality ***...it is blurry and grainy and unusable. Someone in another forum told me to run the mp4 movie in quicktime and tell them what movie inspector says about the clip. Movie inspector says:
    Formatt: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 640 × 480, Millions
    FPS: 29.97
    Playing FPS: 30
    Data size 129 MB
    Data Rate: 1504.39 kbits/s
    Size 640 x 480
    I am dying over here any help please? and thank you all so much

    once I share to the media browser where does it go? cant find it.
    It's "hidden" in your user folder Movies>iMovie Projects. Right-click (Control-click) on the name of your Project and select "Show Package Contents". In the folder named Movies you will see your exported file. It could be either a .m4v or .mov file, or possibly another type, depending on whether standard definition or high definition and the size option chosen when exported. If you are producing a DVD, you drag the file from iDVD's Media-Movies pane onto the Theme background.
    Also, when sharing to the media browser I can only save it as "medium" quality...the other choices arent available?
    Then AppleMan's earlier advice will be correct (as always) - he recommended using the Medium setting based on your QuickTime details. It appears that your original MP4 video has an aspect ratio of 4:3, unless your Project settings are incorrect. You set the dimensions (standard 4:3, widescreen 16:9 or iPhone 3:2) of the project in File>Project Properties then selecting the General tab.
    In iMovie '09, I've mainly worked with AVCHD video which produces .MTS files that are converted to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) on import. This is high definition footage which iMovie can import as 1920 x 1080 or 960 x 540 (both widescreen 16:9). Hence, on export I can share at Large (960 x 540) or HD (1280 x 720). I'm not sure why you are only seeing a Medium option - could be due to the aspect ratio or maybe it's standard definition in MP4 format (just guessing!). If other options are greyed out, have you tried ticking the boxes - that activates each option for me.

  • Anyone have trouble with ipod Nano earphone jacks stop working?

    I have had 2 ipod Nano sice 2007 have earphone jacks that have sytopped working. My latest one was purchased in April 2010, and earphone jack stopped working 2 days ago. Anyone else had this issue?
    Thanks!!

    I have done some experimenting and testing with my old Classic iPod that uses operating system 3.1.1. I don't think this operating system has changed. However, later generation iPods such as nano, shuffle that use a different operating system seem to work absolutely perfectly in my 2010 Lincoln Navigator, especially the ones without a hard drive (i.e. flash drive). My conclusion is that the Ford SYNC updates have somehow not been backward compatible with the older operating system. I know this can be attributed to Apple for part of the problem but I suspect that Ford somehow did not do enough testing with the older iPod operating systems. Turns out there are probably 7 or more operating systems on iPods and while you would assume that "backward compatibility" is a no-brainer, that seems not to be the case with second party vendors such as Ford SYNC. Personally, I have given up trying to solve this problem and have gone to flash drive and a "line in" option. My old Classic iPod works exceptionally well, plus I have a spare so I can probably use these thing till "H freezes over". Being a older retired American these things may actually last a life time!
