  • I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes

    I have a iPod 2nd generation and it will not charge or connect to itunes, I have tried pressing the power button and home botton together and nothing happened.

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Also:
    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

  • Hello I have a imac G5 17" and it will not boot up.

    Hello, I have a imac G5 17" and it will not boot up...... There isn't any chime when you turn it on and the led light will come and fade out a little but will stay on and the screen will stay black. Does any one have any suggestions on what's wrong and how to fix it?

    The bottom of that article says to contact an authorized service technician.  You may also find that simply replacing the PRAM battery (the coin shaped battery) helps.   Note: if you have any capacitors that are labelled X on their top (as opposed to just K), you may have the problem of the leaking capacitors which required a power supply and/or logicboard replacement.  The leaking capacitor was an industry wide problem.

  • Hi i have just reset my ipod and it will not my home  wi-fi hot spot

    hi i have just reset my ipod and it will not my home  wi-fi hot spot can u help ASAP

    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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset Network Settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Could this be the problem?
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    It is unclear from your description what happens when you try to connect.

  • I have iphoto 9.2.1 and it will not load. The loading screen after I click on the app keeps circling. Can anyone help Please?

    I have iphoto 9.2.1 and it will not load. After I click on the app it opens but the screen continousley tries to load. Please Help

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    If iTunes sees the iPod, try a manual install, as pointed out on link below.

  • I have an ipod classic original and it will not connect to itunes for me to sync new music

    i have an ipod classic original and it will not connect to itunes for me to sync new music

    The first two generations of iPod (that used a standard 6-pin Firewire cable) don't work with Windows. There was a workaound through MusicMatch for the second-gen, but I have no idea if that software is still available, or even if it will install on a modern copmputer (Windows ME, 2000 and XP era).
    If instead of original, you mean the first model that got labelled as "classic," with a dock connector, if you describe exactly what appears on both the iPod and the PC screen when you plug it in, somebody might be able to help you. My first recommendations would be to (1)try a different USB cable, to see if that's the problem, and then (2) try synching with a different computer, to see if your PC is the problem. If neither of those result in success, then the community here can help you to try troubleshooting the iPod itself.

  • I have rented a movie yesturday and it will not play. There is 3 hours left to watch it and Im feeling like i just wasted five dollars on something i wont be able to see.

    i rented the movie Wraith of the Titans and it will not play. I very dissapointed that i wasted my money on something I cant watch. There is 3 hours left to watch and it still wont play. This is the last time i rent a movie, or buy one for that matter, from itunes.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • I am trying to Re-install CS5 and when going to use Photoshop, I have my original Serial Number and it will not let me activate the Software on a new hard drive.

    Why is Adobe making us jump so many hoops just to re-install software?
    I had a hardware crash and had to re-install all my programs.   We can not activate Photoshop CS online or by phone!  What gives?
    I am in the middle of a project and I can not use Photoshop CS
    Please advise.

    So let me get this right..... I Pay for Creative Suite 5.   I have my original discs and serial number.  I still have the entire box it came in.   I simply need to re-install the product.   I can not use Photoshop because it can not be activated via phone or online.  I am supposed to just in a chat page and you are put in a cue with "We are still assisting other customers, thank you for your patience. You can also try ourcommunity forums, where experts are online 24/7." 
    IS ADOBE FOR REAL???   THEY EXPECT YOU TO SIT IN A CUE ON HOLD WITHOUT AN INDICATION HOW LONG YOU WILL BE IN CUE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WORK DAY.
    NOW YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE HACK THEIR SOFTWARE!   
    I HAVE A JOB TO DO AND CAN NOT TELL A CLIENT, MY PHOTOSHOP DOES NOT WORK, I AM WAITING IN ADOBE'S HELP CUE!
