I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
any suggestions on how to fix?

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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.

TV w/Built-in DVD Player ejects disks without playing

I purchased this Toshiba 15LV505 15.6-Inch Widescreen LCD TV with Built-in DVD Player (Black)< Order #002-2619780-0839408 in April 2010.
I have never tried to use the DVD player until recently.
When I tried the DVD player it simply kicked the disk back out, after a couple of seconds, with no error message. I have tried several disks from Netflix, always with the same results.
I did some research and the Toshiba site says this problem is associated with the following:
Disc's may not playback properly because of region code settings on the disc do not match the player.
    The DVD standard include codes to prevent playback of certain discs in certain geographical regions.
    Each player is given a code for the region in which it's sold.
    The player will refuse to play discs that are not coded for its region.
    Regional codes are entirely optional for the maker of a disc.
Discs without region locks will play on any player in any country. It's not an encryption system, it's just one byte of information on the disc that the player checks. Check the disc or disc manufacture for the region code setting of the disc.
My question is this: Is it possible that this TV/DVD player won't accept disks made for the U.S market?

No, that model should be capable of playing US-region discs. It sounds like a hardware failure.

How do I fix iMac that automatically ejects disks without reading them

How do I fix an iMac that automatically ejects disks without reading them?
Have tried resetting the SMC, didn't work.
If I have to get a new drive, how much do they cost on an iMac and where do I get it fixed?
Very disappointed if we have to spend money to fix computer as we have not had this computer for a very long time and we bought a Mac because it was supposed to be better.

Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
Also might try one of those cleaning CDs.
Replacing it isn't very easy, but...
So we know more about it...

Can I factory restore an IMAC Late 2009 without the orginal DVD's?

Can I factory restore an IMAC Late 2009 without the orginal DVD's? I was given a computer and want to remove the previous owners user login and passwords. I want a fresh install like it was bought new.

You can create a new Admin User in System Preferences then delete the current User. This will give you a clean User but the base system files might have extensions etc installed.
If you upgrade to Mavericks, then you would wipe the computer giving you exactly what you want.
While your computer might meet the requirements, also check your applications for Mavericks compatibility here: http://roaringapps.com/
Make sure all your software like Microsoft Office and Adobe CS Suites is compatible with Mavericks.
OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
          ▪          iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
          ▪          MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
          ▪          MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
          ▪          MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
          ▪          MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
          ▪          Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
          ▪          Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
          ▪          Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
          ▪          OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
          ▪          2 GB or more of memory <--- I suggest 4GB as minimum
          ▪          8 GB or more of available space

Hi John,
Open up the case, remove the front cover and check the eject button on the CD/DVD drive to be sure that it is not sticking.

IMac will not play the DVD that I have made on imovie and burned on iMac SuperDrive ?? (DVD plays fine on household DVD player and also play fine in Toshiba laptop ) Why not on the iMac - anyone know???

iMac will not play the DVD that I have made on imovie and burned on iMac SuperDrive ?? (DVD plays fine on household DVD player and also plays fine on Toshiba laptop ) Why not on the iMac - anyone know???

There are many reasons this could be the case but whether an optical disc can be read or not is a function of:
The reflective media layer of the disc
Whether the burned disc was a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW
The brand, model, and production lot of the disc
The specific frequency of the Write lasers that burned the disc
The specific frequency of the Read lasers that are attempting to read the disc
Are the Read lasers in the drive working (it is common for one set of lasers in a drive to fail while others continue to work)
How old are the Write and Read drives (laser frequencies change with age)
Is there dust on the read laser
Is there dust on the read lens
etc.
At one time it was estimated that fewer than 80% of all burned discs were readable in 90% of the drives. That has, I believe improved over time but at the same time it seems the faillure rate of lasers in the drives has increased but that may simply be the result of how many different read and write lasers there are in today's superdrives. Fortunately todays drives are a lot less expensive the replace -- now that Apple no longer installs optical drives in their computers.

My 2007 intel imac ejects discs within 2 seconds

My 2007 intel imac ejects discs within 2 seconds. The last time I used my disc hardware was to install software for a new Cannon all in one. It worked perfectly. I have tried many discs including one movie made on this same machine. Pleease help me troubleshoot before I have to transport my computer to the Apple store. Thank you in advance.

It could be that the laser has dust on it; a laser cleaning disk is available at stores which specialize in audio and video- BestBuy, or OfficeDepot would be a place to start. Run a cleaning session to see how that plays out. It could be the optical drive itself. The best approach is first to try steps that do not involve transporting your iMac as you indicate.

Imac shuts down without any error message

imac shuts down without any error message

Need more details. Which iMac? Which OS? When does it shut down, under what circumstances? What are you doing when it happens? Is it reproducible, i.e. can you make it happen? Does it appear to be getting very hot before it shuts down?
Open Console in Applications>Utilities and navigate to system.log. Do you see any messages related to shutdown from the time when this has happened? Enter "shutdown" in the filter field, upper right corner.

My Seagate external 250GB hard drive ejects improperly without command. I am trying to use Time Machine to backup my macbook via usb cable... I keep getting the message that the disked ejected improperly... Any solutions...

You are not alone. Thousands have this problem, on various models of Macs. Short answer, it has something to do with the disk going to sleep (possibly?). You can't do anything about it and Apple won't address the problem. Maybe you should buy a time capsule. Just keep giving them money and use their proprietary equipment.
For a more complete answer, see this thread (all 65+ pages of it with NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT... except for some 3rd party solutions that sometimes work, sometimes don't): Disk Drive ejecting itself

I burned an edited movie to disc using H.264 codec and a second movie to MPEG -4 Video both worked well on my iMac but will not play on my Sony DVD Recorder/Player which accepts both DVD RW and DVD-RW. Any suggestions?

I burned an edited movie to disc using H.264 codec and a second movie using MPEG-4 Video. Both played well on my iMac but would not play on my Sony DVD Recorder/Player which accepts both DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs. I have tried other 'codecs' DV-PAL; DVCPRO-PAL; DVCPRO50-PAL; AIC; and finally share to iDVD. iDVD works on both my iMac and DVD Recorder but the picture is very poor with major shimmering which is unwatchable. Can anyone assist? The other codecs I used either do not pay on my video recorder or fail when I play them back on my iMac. I am at a loss as to what I can do. I am from the UK so using PAL is essential.

If the source video is interlaced, you may have problems using iMovie. It de-interlaces everything on output which can cause picture to look strange. Final Cut Pro X supports interlaced video, but it costs a lot more.
Standard DVD Players don't support H.264 or MPEG4. You might want to look at this article on transferring HD video to DVD. I wrote this article mainly for Final Cut Pro, but many of the same principles apply.

Synchronizing iMac and iPhone without using iCloud?

Some "genius" at an Apple Shop recently told me that the newest version of Mavericks would allow again to synchronize iMac and iPhone without using iCloud. Is this really true?

Yes.

Reset imac to factory without os disk?

how can i reset imac to factory without os disk?

You can't exactly, but what is it you wish to accomplish exactly?
You can also call AppleCare with the Serial# handy & usuallly get cheap replacement discs for it's original OS.

IMac ejects 10.4 installation disk at startup

I screwed my system up by means of a Stupid UNIX Trick (tm) in Single-User Mode, and now all system files (including the kernel) have been moved to the /tmp directory. When I go to reinstall the system, the iMac ejects the system disk at startup. Holding down 'C,' holding down 'Option,' etc. don't work. Never had any issues with the drive before, and it's running the latest firmware. What gives?
Alternately, is there anything out there that will get me a command prompt at startup so that I can un-gork my system, or at least move files to an external drive?

Thanks, but the problem is that everything on the HD has been moved, including the kernel and all operating system files, so booting into single-user mode doesn't work. It's actually how I messed things up in the first place -- I booted into single-user mode after having some problems booting normally, then ran fsck. fsck found problems with two Chinese-language files that I had for some reason put in the / directory; Chinese characters in filenames display as "???????" at the commant prompt.
So like some kind of genius, I typed "mv ./?* tmp" and hit enter, realizing about 1/100th of a second later what I'd done. Too late: 'ls' 'cd' 'mv' and other commands were no longer working, and thus my travails began.
