That yur iPod is sick
Try the following to fix:
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What does the bulldozer icon mean?

Hi,
I've noticed recently whilst my LV program is running the mouse pointer changes to a small bulldozer symbol.
What does this mean?
Thanks,
Dave.

What platform are you on? I have never seen the not-so-friendly bulldozer on Windows, but on LV2.2 for Macintosh it means/meant that you were running perilously short on RAM and LabVIEW is trying to reallocate memory. Usually, but not always, preceded a crash.

What does the padlock on I-Tunes mean?

I just bought my Nano today and having troubles. I hooked it up and it automatically downloaded my songs on it. But now it's got a padlock at the bottom of screen by the bar that shows how much memory is used and what's left on my I-Pod and the list of songs are not black for me to click and move. What does the padlock mean?
thanks
Chris

The padlock icon indicates that you have the iPod set to auto transfer. That's also why the songs are 'greyed out' and not selectable or editable.
If you want to change this, you'll have to select manual transfer instead.

What does the apple sign mean when sometimes it shows ?

What does the apple logo mean when sometimes i turn it on it just pops up and goes back to normal??

Ayip,
The Apple logo appearing on your iPod nano is your nano's start-up icon. Normally, when you turn off your iPod nano, you are really putting it into a deep or semi-deep sleep, where it is ready to turn on at the push of a button and resume where you left off in your Now Playing list.
If, however, you leave your iPod in a sleep mode for some time , it will shut down. To turn it on again, you'll need to hit the center button (deep and semi-deep will wake up with any button press). When turning the iPod on from a shut down state, it will display the Apple logo while loading your music iPod software.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
-FD

What does the red bubble mean that is near the phone symbol and moves over to the vm symbol when phone is turned on

What does the red bubble mean that appears near the phone symbol then moves over temporarly to the VM symbol, when first turning the phone on. It goes away with a few seconds

It means you have no signal, or if on the VM icon, it means to visual voicemail. Sounds like you're just getting it temporarily until the phone establishes a signal.

What do the little icons mean?!?!

Hi,
A quick question, well 2 really!
I have a specially inquisitive client, who is always asking me difficult questions:
1) In mail, what do the little icons mean that you sometimes get when opening an IMAP account. They look like little circles next to the inbox name - one has, like, 3 quarters filled in, the other has, maybe, 1/8th filled in... I can't find this information anywhere!
2) Why does it take longer to show messages for IMAP accounts? I guess its because Mail is checking the synchronisation (or something else) between Mail and the IMAP server, but what's the official line?!?!
Cheers!

Hi James,
Since no-one else has replied I'll try to answer your question.
The circle you discribe is shown to the rightside of inbox when the Mail-app is connecting (retrieving) messages. Or when you click on another mail-box such as Trash or Junk. If it's not completing which it should then disappear, Apple suggests you go to DOT-MAC & read your mail there. This is because since the release of Tiger or mid 2005 Mail-app has difficulty reading unread mail from DOT-MAC! But I do find that if it's already open it can sort my in-coming Junk mail OK! And un-read messages. This answers your second question, I hope this helps.

I was playing with my ipad settings (it's an older model) and noted in the advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view website databases. When I clicked on this I saw websites. How do these get there and what does the space amount mean?

I was playing with my ipad settings and noted in he advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view "website databases". When I selected this I saw a multitude of websites.
Can anyone tell me how these get there? Can a website be posted even if it was never went to? What does the space amount mean? For example, 1.5 kb...is this quite a bit? Would it indicate someone has gone to a site multiple times?
I share my ipad with my teenage daughter and I'm trying to find out if she's lying to me. Obviously she's swearing that she has "no idea" how these got there and I'm trying to keep her safe (she's only 14).
Thanks everyone.

Think of your PC and the 'temporary internet folder' where it keeps cached copies of web pages or elements off a web page for 'quicker display the next time you visit'. That's pretty much what that folder is. 1.5K is tiny. Probably just a basic page with some text on it. (you might be confusing 1.5K with 1.5 megabyte....megabyte is large...it's roughly 1000 kilobytes, so the 1.5K is a tiny file)
As far as I know, the only way info gets into that folder is if the browser has been to that site.
if you have a concern there are browsers out there, McGruff is one i've seen recommended, that allow some degree of parental control and supervision. That or you could passcode lock the iPad or enable the restrictions to turn off some parts of the device to have some control.

What does the word Factory mean in "naming factory "

What does the word Factory mean in "naming factory" in JNDI tech?

A Factory class is a class that produces an instance of an object. For example, a ParserFactory class will have a method that returns a Parser. Usually this Factory class is looking at something in the environment to decide which object to return. "Factory" is just one of many "Design Patterns" that you will encounter in the programming world. Several (many?) books have been written about design patterns.

What does the plus sign (+ ) mean in the app store updates?

What does the plus sign (+) mean in the upper corner of the app updates in the app store? Does it mean it costs more money?

No, it is free. I have yet to see a paid update. The + sign means it is a universal app, meaning that it works across iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

What does the dotted circle mean?

When connecting itouch to itunes, what does the dotted circle mean next to a song? Thanks for the help.

Hi pfn,
From an earlier post on this topic - this may work for you - it's worth a try:
First go to the 'On This iPad/iPod/iPhone' section and note all the tracks that have dotted circles.
In the 'Music' section, un-check/de-select all the tunes noted
Apply and sync the changes.
Once that completes re-check/re-select the same tunes just un-checked/de-selected in the 'Music' section.
Apply and sync the changes again
Go back into the 'On This iPad/iPod/iPhone' section
Hopefully all the dotted circles will be gone and all the tracks can be played
See if this helps!
Cheers,
GB

What does the exclamation point mean next to a song that is unchecked?

what does the exclamtion point mean next to a song that is unchecked?

If you hover over the exclamation mark (or you may need to click on it, I can't remeber), it should tell you. Usually, it means that the original file (for that song) cannot be found, either because it has been moved, renamed or deleted.
