I'm gonna throw it against the wall!!

I've only had my ipod for about two weeks, and already, it's messed up. (It's the newest iPod video, the black 30gb)
It was working fine, and I hooked it up to my computer to add some more music files. My screen saves went on, and actually went to the XP screen listing the users...which apparently caused my ipod to freeze.
Now, when I connect the USB cable, the little arrow pops up on the bottom right tray (the green arrow icon), but iTunes doesn't start automatically and when I open it, it doesn't register my iPod.
My iPod stays constantly on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen, and the hard drive is spinning, but that's all it does. And it also erased all of my songs, except for one at some point...
I'm frustrated, and I bought it from Target. I was considering just taking it back and seeing if they'd do an exchange...Unless someone can tell me how to fix it!

Have you Tried the 5R's yet? http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ Sounds like you may need to restore it using the iPod Updater.

I Want to Throw My SONY TRV350 against the wall!

I HATE it!
(I have another camera now, but still...)
I have hours and hours and even more hours of 8mm, Hi8, and D8 footage that I am unable to capture into iMovie because my stupid camera is a peice of junk. Oh it works fine alone and without any connections but try to connect it to iMovie via Firewire and nodda... try to pass through via the analog connections (like you would a VCR) and the stupid picture is in BLACK and WHITE!!!!!
Forgive the rant, but maybe someone here has found a solution.
note: Doesn't work with Final Cut either.

Before you throw it against the wall.
Do these steps, as I described to another guy a minute ago.
With the computer off, AND the camera off, plug in the fire wire cord to the camera (4-pin) and to the computer (6-pin). Then turn on your camera FIRST and put the control knob in play mode.
THEN START YOUR COMPUTER and open iMovie.
Then switch iMovie to camera mode. A blue screen should come up saying "camera connected". That is all there is to it, plug and play no problems.
I have on several occasions found that the camera will not show as connected in iMovie.
If this happens, leave the camera connected, plugged in with fire wire, and in play mode. Restart the computer. Open iMovie and see if your camera is recognized in iMovie.
WARNING!!!!!!!
Plugging and unplugging the camera (Called "Hot Plugging") can sometimes solve this issue HOWEVER every-time you do this you risk frying the fire wire port on your camera and/or your computer.
I FRIED THE FIREWIRE PORT ON MY $1200.00 PANASONIC CAMCORDER.
Now my camera cannot be recognized by my computer rendering the camera useless for video editing. Repair costs for video cameras out of warrantee are OUTRAGEOUS. So I am looking for another camera.
I hope this did not happen to you.
If your fire wire port is fried, then you may throw it against the wall.
In my case, Panasonic wants about $265.00 up front (NON REFUNDABLE) just to look at the camera, no guarantees that it can be repaired for less $$$ than the purchase price of a NEW High Definition camera.

My iPod touch is not turning on or nothing. i have done all the things i could think of, other then throwing it at the wall. Please help!!!!!

I cant get my iPod touch to turn on or do anything. Can you please help i have done all i can think of and i'm about to throw it at the wall.

Without knowing what you actually tried:
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 another cable
- 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.

FWIW, I have no problems at all with Lion. Running on a Late 06 iMac with 3GB of RAM and it handles it fine. A little slow, especially compared to my Mid '11 iMac, but neither one of them have problems with the beachball. I push the '11 iMac especially hard with multiple Windows installes running in VMWare Fusion at the same time as well as Safari, Word, Excel, Mail, iTunes, iPhoto, and iCal all running.

Sadface. I swear im just gonna throw it at a wall

I was using my ipod today, and i paused it. It wouldnt return to the song when i pressed play, and then i got the icon with the sad face, and exclimation mark, and it said www.apple.com/support/ipod
All the things im finding, are saying to connect it and restore it on the computer, but it doesnt show up when i plug it into the usb port. It doesnt work at all. When i reset it, nothing happens. It also keeps saying PLEASE WAIT, VERY LOW BATTERY, even though its plugged in. Everyone else is telling me to smack the top right corner, but that doesnt work either.
Someone help please

Iam having the sam problem! I wantted to throw my baby at the wall too! so ****** right now! Anyone help. plz.

I am going to throw it against a wall soon....FILE with ! next to it!!

I use it everyday but have not for about a week or so.
I went to use it today and there was a file with at ! next to it or the apple...it would go back and forth.
I thought no biggie when I get home I will plug it into my PC and update.
Not working. I have updated the Itunes and Ipod fix from the ipod.com site. I have tried the restore by holding the menu and the middle button.
NOTHING is working. Just the apple with the file and the !
I have recently upgraded to a DSL modem. Do I need to get a new USB cord to plug into THAT instead of what I do know which is plug it into the USB in the front of my PC hardrive.
I just need help. I have been going over and over and OVER the ipod site and nothing is working.
It seems to be updating when I plug it into my PC with the USB cord it has the "Do Not Disconnect" but then it goes back to the apple then to the file with ! then to the Do Not Disconnect.
It is a regular 20G ipod I got it last April.
Also in my Itunes it no longer says MY IPOD on the far left.
Any help would be VERY VERY appreciated
Thanks.

Having similar issues a couple weeks ago and returning my ipod on one occasion, i did have many troubles that made me want to throw it out the window but. After doing the following it is now working better.
1. Get rid of the Januar 06 update (major problem for my computer and ipod with this new release)
2. Use a 1.0 USB connection to update to a prior version, I updated with the november version that was included in the box. For some reason the 2.0 crashed on me, the 1.0 is slower but works. (if yours works with 2.0 - good for you, did not for me)
3. When you connect to I-tunes for the 1st time do not allow the automatic update your firmware "cancel" and also I move the songs over in batches,i did not allow automatic syncros. - Guess this would be depending on how many songs your moving over( there seemed to be a problem moving over large volumes of data?)- Any time after I connect it is on automatic sync.
4. Now I a had at first issues with the system recognizing my I-pod so I changed the drive letter assigned. You may not have this problem
There has been alot of discussions in this forum about the new updater and the problems it has caused. I know for me it has been a major headache.
hope this helps

Gonna throw it out the window!

My Express is sooooooo unreliable! Please help. All worked well for a year or so. Then it started playing up. I'm lucky to get a range of 10 metres from it. Sometimes I don't even get 2 feet! I'm seriously thinking about getting something else.
The unit is about 2 yards from my Powermac and sometimes the Mac does'nt see it. I have tried reseating the Card in the mac and the arial but no luck. My 12" Powerbook still sees it from a few yards away. This suggests the mac is at fault but the next time I start it up its fine again. My powerbook won't see it from 10 metres away. I have tried all sorts of resets to the express unit I have even down graded to 6.1.1. I also tried putting the unit high up. Still it doesnt work properly. Is it duff now? Should I replace it?
Help before I go mad!
Thanks in advance
Chris

I've just tried both channels 1 & 11. 1 seemed to make the internet connection painfully slow. 11 seems to be woring fine. Thanks for the advice. I will keep an eye on it for a few days and reply back to this if problems still exsist.
Thanks

OK Have iTunes on my PC all files converted to MP4 for the vids. It is recognised as it goes on but the new drag and drop does not like my iPad or wont copy files over. Any ideas before I smash it against the wall and buy an android so I can play stuff on

Why wont my iPad accept MP4 Files in my iTunes library unless I sync it. I soooooooooooooo miss drag and drop to the side.

Have your tried using the View menu item Show Sidebar?
This will restore the function of iTunes 11 to what you find familiar.

Motion 4 + layered PSD files = me banging my head against the wall

I posted this same question in the other M4/PSD file problem, but it was marked as answered (and the answer isn't working for me).
I'm having a similar problem, but changing the resolution to the exact max of 2896x2896 doesn't work for me...and neither does any smaller resolution for some reason.
Today, my layered PSD file is at least not experiencing the crazy tile-effect you included in your posted images, but it is now:
1) always converting the top layer of the PSD file to a flattened image of the whole file.
2) ignoring/mutating my alpha channel information, as areas that should be transparent and smoothly masked off are now opaque and/or blocky.
My images are large, but I need to keep them large for dollying in real closely when i fly a camera through the scene. This is not a problem in After Effects, but I also need to do a lot of these 2.5D animations and several need particle/replicator effects... and I just work much much faster in Motion than AE. I don't remember having this problem with Motion 3 at all, but I can't say I've done a scientific comparison (nor do I want to uninstall M4 for M3).

Thank you!

I can't believe I didn't see that! I scanned them in 24-bit color but they are B&W images anyways, so I'm not sure why or how they ended up as 8-bit greyscale... maybe has something to do with the lousy HP dinosaur-of-a-scanner and it's weird proprietary HP interface (couldn't get it to interface with PS4 and don't use it enough to fuss with it).
Thanks!
I think that was about the quickest/least-frustrating help forum experience ever =)

Help before I throw this into the wall.

I just received a ipod for my birthday. I have installed software and have loaded music and some podcasts to itunes successfully. However, when I plug in my ipod it opens up itunes but doesn't send the songs to my ipod.
My ipod is empty. help!
Other OS

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your songs in the iTunes library won't automatically update to your iPod unless you have the correct option set.
Go to "Preferences -> iPod". What setting are you on?
If you are on one of the "automatic" settings (sounds like you aren't though), when you plug in your iPod, iTunes will start automatically update your iPod with the iTunes libary ("ALL") or to a particular folder or playlist in iTunes ("SELECTED").
If you are set for "manual", then to transsfer songs to your iPod, you'll need to go the iTuens library, select the songs you want onto your iPod, and drag-and-drop then into your iPod (which is in the left source panel of iTunes).
I hope this works for you!

HELP WITH IPOD BEFORE I THROW IT UP THE WALL

HI I HAD A IPOD ON XMAS DAY ITS THE ONE THAT U CAN PLAY VIDEOS ON WELL ILL TELL U WHATS HAPPENING I READ THROUGH THE LEAFLET AND INSTALLED DISK ON MY COMPUTER AND EVERYTHING I HAD ON ITUNES WAS DOWNLOADED TO IPOD IN SECONDS THEN I UNPLUGGED IT HTEN I BROUGHT MORE MUSIC OF ITUNES BUT CANT DOWNLOAD TO IPOD THERE IS NO IPOD SIMBOL IN ITUNES IV FOLLOWED MANY STEPS BUT NOTHING ALSO IV UPDATED AND CLICKED IPOD UPDATER WHERE U CHOOSE UPDATE OR RESTORE BUT IM GETTING MESSAGE PLUG IN IPOD TO UPDATE BUT MY IPODS PLUGED IN WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON IM GETING DO NOT DISCONNECT SIGN ON IPOD

There are troubleshooting steps here.
PC does not recognize the iPod. Very often, just a simple reset cures the recognition problem. Try it several times, it doesn't always work straight away.
Then there's this.
iTunes doesn't recognize your ipod.
Now, could I ask you a favour please? Don't post in capital letters. Here on the forums it's considered shouting and rude. That, coupled with lack of punctuation in your post, makes it difficult to read. Also, it's best not to swear in your posts. That just attracts the attention of the Moderators who will remove your post, and that's not going to help you at all.
Many thanks.

Portfolio question that I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure out...

I want to build a portfolio with categories. You click something and the appropriate slideshow or lightbox appears or comes into the scene. The troubling part is I dont want to scroll anywhere. I just want 6 categories and each respective lightbox all in one place. Any ideas?

In this case, I would reccomend you use something like a tabbed panel widget and place a lightbox for each inside a specific panel. You could create the overall layout for the lightbox display in the first panel and copy it across the rest to maintain design consistency.
Cheers,
Justin

Banging my head against the wall

I am working on a program to calculate bmi. I have input to read in age range and gender. When I enter input to look at both genders, it does not calculate the total patients or calculate the averages. Any help would be appreciated.
//prompts user for inputs
System.out.print("Enter the file name: ");
System.out.flush();
filename = console.nextLine();
System.out.println("What age range would you like to examine?");
System.out.print("Enter starting age: ");
System.out.flush();
agelooking = console.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter ending age: ");
System.out.flush();
agelooking2 = console.nextInt();
System.out.println("What gender would you like to examine?\n"
+ "Enter F for Female; M for Male; B for Both genders: ");
genderlooking = console.next().charAt(0);
//reads in gender and age range
while (inFile.hasNext()) {
//read in gender
gender = inFile.next().charAt(0);
if (genderlooking == gender){
//read in age range
age = inFile.nextInt();
// filters logic for age
if(age >=agelooking && age2 <=agelooking2) {
totalpatients++;
//reads in height and weight
weight = inFile.nextInt();
height = inFile.nextInt();
//calculates bmi
bmi = (weight * weightkg) / Math.pow(height * heightm, 2);
totalbmi = bmi + totalbmi;
//takes bmi calculation and filters into 4 categories
if (bmi < 18.5) {
underweight++;
if (bmi >= 18.5 && bmi <= 24.9) {
normal++;
if (bmi >= 25.0 && bmi <= 29.9) {
overweight++;
if (bmi >= 30) {
obese++;
} //end while
//calculates averages
averagebmi = totalbmi/totalpatients;
averageUnderweight = underweight/totalpatients;
averageNormal = normal/totalpatients;
averageOverweight = overweight/totalpatients;
averageObese = obese/totalpatients;
//writing results to output file
outfile.println("Results of the BMI analysis for " + practiceName + ": \n\n");
if (gender == 'm' || gender == 'M')
Gender = "Male";
else
if (gender == 'f' || gender == 'F') {
Gender = "Female";
else
Gender = "Both";
outfile.println("Patients of " + Gender + " gender in age range of " + agelooking
+ " to " + agelooking2);
outfile.println ("Number of patients examine: " + totalpatients);
outfile.printf ("%.1f percent Underweight%n", averageUnderweight * 100);
outfile.printf ("%.1f percent Normal%n", averageNormal * 100);
outfile.printf ("%.1f percent Overweight%n", averageOverweight * 100);
outfile.printf("%.1f percent Obese%n%n", averageObese * 100);
outfile.printf("Average BMI: %.1f",averagebmi);
inFile.close();
outfile.close();
System.exit(0);
}

Because this line will never be true is you are looking for both genders, unless one of the records in teh file was entered as B for gender (Hermaphrodite?)
if (genderlooking == gender){
//Change that line to this
if(genderlooking == 'b' || genderlooking == 'B' || genderlooking == gender){

I'm gonna throw it against the wall!!
