My ipod touch is stuck on the home screen, will not respond. Displays a gray background with the ipod logo, sliders are unresponsive. Bottom slider displays many different languages, none of them english. Maybe a virus or malware?? Restoring with itunes does not work, neither does holding down the home/sleep buttons to reset.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

My daughter's iPod Touch is stuck on a blank screen with that loading circle thing just going around and around. She said she was trying to duplicate an app or something, and all the the apps started shaking like when you delete them. I turned the iPod off, but it never turned back on completely. I tried to restore it, but it's saying that I have to enter the passcode. But, as I said, there's nothing on the sceen excect the circle thing. Please help!!!!!

My ipod touch is stuck on a white screen and i did everything hold the home botton and sleep botton togher, but it wont respnd it is just stuck on the white flash scree HELP PLEASE!
- Let the battery fully drain. The charge for an hour and see what happens, Try resetting too:
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.
- Connct to computer and restore if it shows in iTunes.
- You can try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then trying to restore. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Also see:

Frequenly the white scree is due to a hardware problem. -
my keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random. "z" is the unresponsive character.
Is it a damaged keyboard ?
The laptop is just 2 months old, will Apple replace it with a new one if its indeed a damaged keyboard or just repair, I use it for official purposes so being without a laptop is not much of an option.No one here works for Apple, so we don't know what Apple might or might not do. If it's a genuine defect, they will of course repair it under warranty. It is not their responsibility if it effects your ability to work or not, so that's on you.
If, however, they determine that the key is problematic as a result of your misuse of the laptop, then everything is on you. And trust me, if they find a glob of dried up beer or coffee there, they will charge you.
Your only choice is to take it in for repair. -

My iPod touch 4th keeps returning to home screen when on the internet
This is a real problem! I can't have more than two internet pages up at one time and if I try to open any other pages it returns to the home screen before thepage has even loaded. I constantly use my iPod for the internet, it's not much use if I can't open more than one page.
I have used the soft reset- holding down the lock and home buttons at the same time- before and it has worked but now my Home button doesn't work at all so I have to use assisted touch, meaning there isn't a way to do the soft reset. Can I do the resset another way?Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Safari amd Clear History, Data and Cookies
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

A few days ago my G5 started to freeze up while in use. It doesn't matter if in Safari, iTunes, Pages, etc. The cursor will not respond nor does any keystroke, force quit, escape, etc. I have to hold the power button down to shut the computer down. Then, try to restart. Sometimes restart will work and the computer will work for a while and then freeze again. Other times on restart, instead of the Apple logo at start up, I get a Zero with a line thru it, have to power off and restart again. When it does restart, the "spinning gear" takes a lot longer than normal to spin up and take me to the login screen. Have been told it may be my hard drive getting ready to fail. Have looked at disk utilities, S.M.A.R.T looks fine, "verified" and have verified disk, and repaired permissions. In case it is the hard drive, I bought external hard drive and hooked it up to Time Machine. The backing up to a long time, overnight, about 10 hours because it kept freexing up and I would have to shut down and try restarting again. Finally got everything backed up.
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!!! Could it be my hard drive is dying? Is the the normal chain of events or is it something else???Ok, to copy the Drive from one to another, get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

Believe it or not, anything on the Desktop uses 3 times the Resources of the Mac than if stored elsewhere, I can note a slowdown from just 30 items on the Desktop on a really fast Mac, so the less the better on the Desktop.
DW will not tell you about Bad Sectors, it's just the very best at Repair Directory damage & such.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process. -
I have tried deleting the program and reinstalling it but it is not working. It is really annoying since I use it for my photography business. I can not work in a program that keeps shutting down.
You must always, always use the uninstaller in the PSE 12 folder in applications. Unfortunately, you broke some stuff by moving the program that way, so now I'm afraid you have a bit more work to do. First, download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
That will not actually remove anything, but it frees things up so you can go around and manually remove stuff. After running it, you will need to scurry around your hard drive and trash all the bits you can find. Start in your username>library>preferences. To see that library, option click Go menu in the finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. look especially for files beginning com.adobe.whatever. While you're in that library go to the saved application states folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
Next you need to go to the library at the top level of your hard drive>library>application support>adobe and delete all the PSE stuff in there. That library isn't exactly hidden, like the user library, but it's hard to get to. The easiest way is to go to the finder preferences>sidebar and turn on Hard Disks under Show these items in sidebar. Then the next time you open a finder window your hard drive will appear in the list on the left side of the window. Click it and the library you want for this will appear in the top level of results.
Finally, after reinstalling PSE, be sure to immediately go to editor>help>updates and update to 12.1, then repair permissions. -
I have had this touch for almost a year. It suddenly starts going to home screen in middle of app, or when loading the app. Contract Killers has worked fine since I dowloaded it, but is not loading at all now. If I restore, will I be able to get my progress back from the backup?
Reset did not work. Just completed the restore, seems to have fixed the other apps from going back to the home page, but not Contract Killer.. I assume it is now a error on Glu's part. Hopefully they will resolve the issue. Thank you so much for your response.

4th gen ipod touch stuck on itunes plug in screen and don't have computer i setup with
Hey 34grumpy4u,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPod touch is currently in recovery mode, and needs to be restored. You can restore your iPod with any computer, then transfer your information back to your iPod once you have access to your backup (whether it was made via iCloud or iTunes).

My pc won't shut down and connected devices are not communicating sucessfully
I have a HP p6741c with Windows 7.
My computer will not shut down anymore. I've had to do a hard shut down multiple times.
Also, my connected devices don't communicate properly.
I have a scan snap S1500 scanner, stamps.com scale, and an hp laser jed pro400 connected. The scanner and printer don't respond anymore when I try to scan and print. I have to manually shut down the computer, restart, then the printer will print docs from the queue that wouldn't print before but then the printer goes back to non-responsive again.
Please help!I would recommend downloading CCleaner and running it on your computer to clean it up a little bit. That may help to resolve some of your issues.
Here is a link to the download: CCleaner
Also, are you running any kind of Malware or Virus protection on your computer? Both of those can cause issues with how your computer operates.

Database shut down and file systems are still busy
We have been copying our production DB over to a reporting DB for the last 3 years. The process we use on the reporting database is: shutdown the DB ABORT, restart it, then shutdown immediate. Then we umount the file systems and copy the production over using a Flex Clone on the NETAPP, remount the file systems and start the database back up. We used to shut down the listener which does not share the oracle binaries on the unix system but lately have left the listener up because other DB's use it. Every so often after shutting down the report database in prep for the copy, the file system that contains the binaries is busy and we can't unmount the ORACLE binaries.
So my question is how does the listener know if the database is up or down? Is it reading something on the volumes we're trying to unmount to see if the database is up? We have users that schedule jobs in odd hours and was wondering if them hitting the listener and even though the database is down it's making the file systems busy?
Any help is appreciated.Mi**** wrote:

Listener is NEVER involved with any ongoing packet exchange between client & the DB.
Listener takes original connection request & if the DB is up passes the request to the DB.
After this initial handoff, the listener has NO more involvement with packet exchange between DB & client
