my ipod was frozen, but now it has an x on the screen. What can i do about it?

See here: iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon
Note that the fatal red X is often a clear indication that your iPod's HD is shot and in need of replacement. You'll need to take or send your iPod in for repair either through Apple or a third party service.

    - Try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring via iTunes
    - Next try DFU mode and restore.

    If this happen recently, then Reset the iPod by
    Pressing Menu and Center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON then release the buttons.
    Select your language.
    Check the sound.
    Good luck!

  • Yahoo is my homepage, when I downloaded Firefox 4 my email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

    Yahoo is my homepage, I have been using Firefox for years but when I downloaded Firefox 4 my yahoo email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, it was there for a while but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Purchase/install any new app

    The shuffle is not a backup device.
    Was the media actually moved from the old computer to the new computer? If not, how did you magically make the content appear on the new system?
    Use the backup of the old computer to put all the content on the new computer.

  • I upgraded to iphone 4s and installed iOS 6 but now my battery life is significantly reduced. What can I do to fix this problem?

    I upgraded to iphone 4s and installed iOS 6 but now my battery life is significantly reduced. What can I do to fix this problem?
    I restored my settings my I got the new phone but I think I heard that with the iOS 6 updated that can be an issue and it is better to start from scratch rather than restore your settings.

    reset all settings
    settings- general- reset - reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings - wifi- click network name - enter password - join
    if issue persists backup info and restore via itunes
    Peace, Clyde

    I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

  • Hello, my friend's ipad locked and need the apple id and password to unlock the setup and open the ipad but he don't remember any one of them nor his email and security questions what can we do about that please solution?

    hello, my friend's i pad locked and need the apple id and password to unlock the setup and open the i pad but he don't remember any one of them nor his email and security questions the serial number of tha i pad is DYT*******PH and the part number is MC979ZP/A what can we do about that please solution?
    <Edited by Host>

    Your friend will have to remember or find his account id and password, without them he won't be able to re-activate the iPad.
    Does he have any of the account's downloads in his computer's iTunes library : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name.
    Or has he tried finding it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID.
    If he can find the account id he can then get its password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com
    (As these are user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple, I've asked the hosts to remove the serial number from your post.)

    If this is a fairly new Mac running either v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion she can use Lion or Mountain Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.

  • My iPod nano has a lock on the screen.How can I unlock and use my nano?

    My iPod nano has a lock on the screen. How can I unlock and use my iPod?

    Do you know there is the lock/unlock thing on the top or bottom right? If that doesn't work, hold down the middle circle and top portion of the circle button at the same time and hold until the screen goes black. Let go and soon an apple will appear. If you wait / press some buttons (i am not sure exactly how this part works) it will turn white and then the screen will appear again. You have all your music and everything still but the problem should be gone. This also works if your iPod ever freezes.

  • My iPod was dead but now it's alive and kicking -- I'm confused

    Friday morning, I was at the gym listening to my 4th generation iPod (which I have owned for about 14 months -- after warranty) when I heard a click and then my iPod froze. I got to my office and and saw the "unhappy ipod" on the screen. I went to the apple iPod support site and followed the "5 Rs". Nothing happened.
    So I took the iPod to the Apple Store Saturday morning and one of the "geniuses" took a look at it. He tried resetting and putting it into disk mode. He told me the battery needed to be replaced and gave me a list of dealers although he recommended iPodResq.
    I went to their website yesterday morning (my iPod was still dead to the world) and ordered the battery replacement service ($89.00). Today I received the overnight shipping box in which to send my iPod for repair.
    So, I reach for my iPod (which has been in my bag for over 24 hours since I was unable to use it). Well, I pull it out of the bag and the thing IS ALIVE AND KICKING. Works fine, like there was nothing ever wrong with it. All my music was still there along with some audio books. What the???
    Now I've got the shipping box (along with $89.00 that I've already paid). I can get a refund from the company but parrt of me is thinking "What if this is a fluke and the things goes dead again tomorrow?"
    Has this ever happened to anyone before?

    Yes, it did happen to me too. Very likely that the head of the HD of your iPod got stuck that night, which caused the Sad iPod icon.
    My suggestion is to do the following now (which will erase all your data on your iPod)
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    Let it run for over weekend, if it appears the Sad iPod icon again, then send it for repairing.

  • My Ipod was white but now it's black

    So, a week ago I dropped my Ipod and the screen turned white.I tried reseting it and restoring it but it still is white. I opened it up to check if anything was out of place and closed it.Now the screen is black. Can you guys help me?

    A white screen means the video electronics cannot "talk" to the LCD display panel.  A black screen means the back light (a really small and fragile flourescent light) is not working, or the iPod is not powering up.
    What could have happened when you opened the iPod is you disconnected the touch screen or you may have damaged the flex print cable that connects the touch screen to the main board.  This will keep the iPod from powering up.
    The bottom line is, you're hosed, but you do have some options:  You can buy a new iPod, or you can invest in a new LCD panel and mabye a touch screen and then see if you can fix what you broke...  parts are available on line.  eBay and Google are your friends....
