Since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off. HELP!!

since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off!! I updated the itunes software last week and the next time I synced the ipod, it immediately deleted all songs. After further investigation, i realized that my songs are still in itunes. Under the music tab, it shows the capacity and the content of the ipod. It used to have 4 gb of audio on there and now it have no audio and 4 gb of 'other' files. what does this mean? i can still see the songs in the library list, but i can't even make a playlist with them. When I click on playlist, nothing happens. Also, I can't turn the ipod off since the update. Please send any advice my way.
Thanks,
regan101

yes, and the problem is unresolved. i really feel that the problem is occuring with the itunes program and not the ipod. thanks, though.

Pretend I know nothing about this topic, because I DON'T, and help me figure out how to format bullets in 'Pages' for IPad. I turned them on somehow, and now can't turn them off, and they are popping up in all the wrong places

I think I effectively proved my point about knowing nothing about this, by posting my whole question in the title. To review, I have a 1 year old iPad, and have Pages on it for a word processing program. I somehow turned on bullets on one of my documents and can't figure out how to stop it, and they are in all the wrong places. How do I turn it off?

If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.
Good Luck

IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be 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

Took phone update and now can't turn down volume all the way?

I took the latest phone system software update, and now when I turn down the volume (using the volume button on the side) the lowest it will go is vibrate instead of silent. This is annoying, because I sometimes like to turn it all the way down in meetings or when I sleep at night, but it vibrates on incoming calls or corporate e-mail notifications.
Why did you guys do away with the fully-minimized volume choice?
The Motorola Droid (Droid 1, I suppose), under the original software load, allowed you to turn down volume (in some number of steps), down to Vibrate, and then finally all the way Off. The only sound it would make would be if you set an alarm clock.
With the new load, turning it down only goes to vibrate, and not silent.
The "Silent Mode" available when pressing the power button should be more appropriately named "Vibrate Mode." It appears that there is no longer a true "silent" mode under the Droid O/S.
I looked at a number of marketplace apps, but they all seem to be based on a timer setting, i.e. set a time frame that you don't want any sounds.
Why did Verizon (or is it Google?) have to break something that didn't need fixing?

It's a known issue and has been discussed numerous times. If you need quick access, you can get beautiful silent from the market for free which will allow you have a widget on your homescreen for silent mode.

It's in recovery mode. Anything that was on the phone and not already backed up is already gone. You have no choice but to restore.

How do i change screen saver setting, it's on and i can't turn it off

ugh, can't view anything on the tv but the APPLE. voice says screen saver is "on" and i can't find any documentation about screen saver.

You'd need to enable/disable/setup under Settings menus.
If you can't get out of it unplug the unit and restart.
If still no joy you may need to restore the unit connected to iTunes computer using a microUSB cable.

Update Word and now can't even login! Blue Screen and returns to login!

Hi,
I'm new to Macs and recently put Word onto it. Went to use it a couple of days ago and it said that it had a critical update for Word. So I clicked yes to update.
Next thing...it all froze!
Then took me to login screen. Initially I just thought..."Oh it's restarted after update." But when I logged in it accepted password...went to a blue screen and came back to the login.
Now I can't get into my mac!
Please help...what do I do!!???

There are a couple possibilities. Start out by turning the computer on while holding down the 'Shift' key until you see the grey Apple. This is a safe boot and you can read more about it here. If the computer boots up to the login screen and you can log into your account the problem may be solved. The failed Word update may simply have led to a scrambled cache file that kept the computer from booting.
The other possibility I'd consider is that the update failed due to a disk drive error. If the safe boot doesn't work get out your System disc and restart your computer with it. (Start the computer, hold the 'C' key and insert the System Restore disc. Once it has booted, move to the Utilties menu and select Disk Utility. Perform a repair and if it reports the drive isn't repairable you'll know that's the problem - and we can talk about what to do next.

HT1338 when updating OS X on brand new mac book pro 13 Retina, all it does is wait for several hours and I can not turn it off

Brand new and update showed up for the OS X. sected update and all it does is say wait for hours. It will not let me turn off the mac because the application loader keeps cancelling the request to either turn off or restart. Help

Hi again,
I have lost count of the number of posts here, in addition to my direct experience with my clients, where FileVault is discovered to be the main cause of whatever symptoms are being experienced. I refuse to turn it on on any of my systems and will always, always advise against turning it on to anyone who asks me.
I would recommend that you initially back up all your data to external media (either external hd or DVD-R) and then attempt to turn off FileVault. I purposely used the word attempt because, more often than not, even this can cause issues. If you are unable to turn FileVault off, indeed even if successful, I would recommend that you carry out an Erase and Install using your MacBook Pro's system disks.
In short, my message is ---- stay away from FileVault.
If you require to protect your files then the best way to achieve this is via Disk Utility and creating an encryted image. More details here:

A video has popped up on my start page and I can't turn it off or stop it from replaying.

My start page is the basic firefox page. Just today (11/18/14), a video popped up about the internet. I watched it, but it keeps replaying and I can't find a way to turn it off. FYI, I don't tweet or use facebook, so if I'm supposed to vote or go there, I can't.

The easiest way to get around that is to just set your own homepage.
See - [[How to set the home page]]
Many of us have disabled the changes to the top part ''[brandLogo portion]'' of the Firefox Start Page, so that we don't see that "stuff".
If you feel venturesome, here's how to "fix it".
Type '''about:config''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter. Accept the "dragons" message to see the advanced prefs screen. ''Use the Search field at the top to enter the pref mentioned below.''
You can set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty string to stop your Firefox from retrieving "snippets" and brandLogo changes. Right-click that pref and select '''''Modify''''' then clear the Value for that pref in the box that appears, then click OK. ''That will also disable the "snippets" that appear below the Search container on the default homepage.''
Then you need to open your Profile folder, via Help > Troubeshooting Information > Profile folder >> Show Folder ''button''. Then close Firefox.
With your Profile folder open and Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit), wait minute or so, then delete the <b>storage\moz-safe-about+home</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder to remove the brandLogo and snippets stored in IndexedDB to make Firefox use the default brandLogo and a default snippet set.
If you should later changes your mind about those modifications, you can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu and use Reset to get the default value back and start using the '''''storage\moz-safe-about+home''' folder again.

My I phone is buzzing. The screen is blank . I can not turn it off

Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. If it won't reset just let it discharge and stop on its own, the recharge it and see if it works again.

Have installed maverick and now can't open any new pdf files from internet. I can open old ones

I have just installed Maverick. When I use Safari and try and open a Pdf file from a webpage I get a black screen and tells me to download Adobe. I have reinstalled adobe reader but still don't get anywhere. I can open any pdf files I have previously stored or have in downloads or in documents. Any one any ideas what i need to do?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.
