How many times can you reset an ipod

I have a 4G iPod purchased 6/05. My computer is 14in iBook with Mac OS X 10.4.3. I mainly use the firewire dock connector my iBook to update music/podcasts. I use the iPod on my way to work with a Griffin iTrip and at work by hooking up to Kensington dock.
I've been having intermittent problems with the iPod freezing on me. It has happened a few times when I hit "play" on a song when it wasn't hooked up to an output source (no headphones or dock connection). But in general, I can't determine any specific inciting event to explain why the iPod freezes or why I need to reset.
The iPod responds well to a simple reset, which has been going on weekly. On one occasion, I had to completely restore it--including renaming the iPod and resyncing everything.
So, is this a normal occurence? Is a reset every week or two out of the ordinary? Is there something wrong with my iPod?
Thanks,
Meetul

i think having to reset your ipod really at all is out of the ordinary. bring it to an apple store, call support, or look around the forums for topics pertaining to this.

How many times can you reset the Region?

A few minutes ago, I put a DVD into my MacBook for the first time.
It was a Region 1 disc, and immediately Apple's DVD player opened and began playing the disc. I was rather surprised, because the first time I inserted a DVD into my Mac Mini, Apple's DVD player opened, but informed me that the region must first be set before I could play a disc.
(I know that the system preferences can be set so the machine "does nothing" when a DVD is inserted. It isn't the fact that the DVD player opened that surprised me--it's the fact that I wasn't given a region-setting warning before the DVD began playing for the first time.)
I then stopped the DVD player, ejected the disc and inserted a Region 2 disc. Again, Apple's DVD player opened, and when I hit the play button, I received the notice that the drive's region was set for 1 and would have to be changed to play the Region 2 disc.
However, what was strange is that the message indicated that I only had 4 region changes remaining.
I always thought we were allowed 5 region changes.
Am I wrong, or is it possible that the region setting on my MacBook had already been set (and perhaps even reset) before I purchased it?

I encountered the same thing when I played a DVD in my MacBook for the first time, I had assumed it would ask me as my other Macs had done. However, it appears that since Panther, an administrative user does not get asked this question. The following is from the Info Article on DVD Regions
"In Mac OS X 10.3 Panther and later, users with administrative privileges aren't prompted to change the region the very first time a DVD-Video disc of a single region is inserted. Instead, the region of the DVD drive is automatically set to the region of the DVD disc that was inserted."
The article also indicates that 5 changes is the standard, so if you were logged in under an admin account it automatically set the first one for you.

How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets?

How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets itself?

Hey Robin.T,
Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
iPhone is disabled
iPad is disabled
iPod touch is disabled
You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
Thanks,

How many times can you resend an iTunes Gift Card?

Tried sending an iTunes gift card to a @facebook account but the recipient hasn't received it.
Is it possible to send to another of their @facebook accounts and if that also fails then to a conventional account?
I guess my question is how many times can you resend on Gift Card and to how many different email accounts?

To use an iTune Gift Card to buy books...
Open iTunes on your computer and click on the iTunes Store.
You'll need to be signed in...
Click on the little House icon in the dark gray bar across the top. (or Shift+Command+H)
On the right side of the page under Quick Links click Redeem and enter your code.
Then it will show your credit balance in the dark gray bar across the top next to your account name to let you know how much you have to spend.
Then as you buy books, it'll deduct from the credit balanace.
There is a distinction between, iTunes Gift Card and Apple Gift Card.
Apple Gift Card: can be used to purchase Apple hardware and accessories at any Apple Retail Store, the Apple Online Store...
iTunes Gift Card: To give music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, or anything on the iTunes Store, the App Store, the iBooks Store or the Mac App Store, select an iTunes Gift Card

How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer?

How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer? Will the leopard dvd run out of installations and not let you install anymore?

Hi colman Prez;
Now that the funny comments have been made, I have a serious question and that why are you worry about reinstalling Leopard with an Erase & Install which is what I take that you mean when you say clean install. In actually fact there is no such thing in OS X as a clean install.
I am curious because in all the years I have used OS X, I have yet to do an Erase & Install yet.
I know with Windows that they suggest reformatting and reinstalling at the drop of a hat but that isn't true with OS X.

How many times can you install Lightroom 5? My problem is that I have saved my programs on C. To I have more space, I want to save my programs now on E. Can I now uninstall Lightroom and reinstall from C to E? Can I use the same license code as the first installation?

Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

How many times can you watch a rented movie in iTunes?

Title describes the question. I'm thinking about either buying or renting a movie in iTunes, so question is how many times can you watch a rented movie? Just once? X times within a given timeframe? Thanks,

You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library. Happy movie watching!

Offline updates mechanism: how many times can you use it before corrupting the image(wim)?

Hi,
As title mentions: "how many times can you use sccm 2012 offline updates for the wim file before corrupting the image(wim)"?

In my experience the offline servicing feature is only OK and too unreliable for production.

HT1977 How many times can you download an app?

I have purchased an app from itunes store, my family has alot of devices and i want that app on all of them. we upgrade alot so how many times can you upload an app? Unlimited?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can download an application in all the devices with your Apple ID as many times as you want for free. You may have to pay again for it if the developer releases an update and wants to make it paid.
It's recommended to have the same Apple ID in all your family devices, but you can also use it with a different Apple ID. In that case, you will have to let your family know your Apple ID password to update the application

How many times can you transfer music

Hi,
Over the last few years we have had laptops breaking down and have had to transfer music and I was wondering how many times can you transfer from computer to another computer?
Please help because at the moment I am slightly confused!

Once you no longer use a machine, you are deactivating the iTunes library on that computer, right?
You have 5 total simultaneous activations per music library managed by a single Apple ID. As long as you deactivate unused systems, within that limit of 5, you can transfer at will.

How many times can you restore from the same backup?

how many times can you restore from the same backup?

As many times as you want till you delete or modify it.
It's YOUR backup, a copy of all your stuff.
Not some copyrighted, access controlled bunch of bytes representing a picture, a song or a movie, with a bunch of lawyers from the entertainment maff1a hellbent on restricting what you can do with it.

How many times can you burn a protected song?

How many times can you burn a purchased iTMS song onto an audio cd?
I know they say you can only burn a playlist so many times but does that also include the purchased songs? (I hope not)
Does anybody know the official iTMS ruling on this?
-J

I believe I read that you are allowed to burn it seven times, but I burn mixes all the time and have never run into a message that I've reached my limit. Honestly, though, if you are—at some point—unable to burn anymore, you can reimport a purchased song from one of the burned CDs.
Hope this helps!

How many times can you burn "protected AAC" to CDs...?

How many times can you burn Apple iTunes Store's music files (Protected AAC) to a CD? Seven?

I can put any of the individual songs onto a playlist and burn it to a CD and do it an infinite number of times?
You don't get unlimited burns of a single playlist including any tracks from the iTunes Music Store, no,
Any given playlist that contains a track or tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store can be burned a maximum of seven times. After that, you either have to alter the playlist (add or remove a track of any type, iTMS or imported) or create a new playlist with the iTMS track(s) you wish to burn. That playlist can also be burned up to seven times. Etc. etc.
Note that this only applies when you're burning an audio CD. You can burn your iTMS tracks as data for backup an infinite number of times. Though of course those data disks won't play in a CD player.
Hope this clears things up.
