I-pod crashes and then can't access it for afew hours?

Hi all,
Sometimes my ipod crashes and I cant get in2 it for afew hours sometimes. It just stays on the same screen and I cant go back a menu or play/stop/rew./f.forward. and if the light was on even that stays lit til' it sorts itself out. Often I have 2 wait til' the battery runs out til' I can use it again. It get proper frustrating sometimes, especially if I'm out all day and it happens in the morning!
Has any1 else encountered this?
Liam

Mine is doing the exact same thing at the moment. This is the first time it's happened and I'm not quite sure what to do either. It is frozen on a song. I cannot click on any of the buttons and the clock has stopped. Did the clock stop on yours as well? Tried to plug it in - but nothing happens. Is this similar to your problem? It has been frozen for about an hour now and I'm rather frustrated.

  • Xserve Services are accessible for a moment and then can't access

    I have new Intel Xserve. Set up as a gateway, open directory master, web server, etc. Ethernet 1 connects to the wan and Ethernet 2 connects to a new Airport Extreme. The client machines are Macbooks. The Xserve is set up to be the dhcp server. The Airport is a bridge.
    Everything was working fine until last week. Here is what is happening: The Macbooks can use the services that the Xserve provides for a short while, ie they can browse the Xserve's websites, browse internet websites and authenticate with open directory. Then after a short while they can't. For instance attempting to get to www.apple.com with the Macbook will result in a constant "contacting ...." status in Safari. Authentication with Open Directory is no longer possible. Even trying to browse 192.168.2.1 (the Xservers Eth2 IP address) results in "contacting...." and nothing happening. Interestingly I can still ping 192.168.2.1 from the laptop.
    To get things working again I've found I can simply make a change to the setting of the ethernet card on the Xserve. For example I might switch it from static ip to dhcp and back. I might change the ethernet from auto to manual and back or whatever. Just make a change to the network settings and apply then change them back and apply. The laptops will be able to access the services again for a short while (maybe a minute or two) and then things get stalled again. They won't be able connect to websites or get access to the internet etc. Again even http://192.168.2.1 won't work. Change something in network settings and change back and it will work for a short while again. Nothing is popping out at me in any logs I'm looking at.
    Do I have a hardware problem? At first I assumed DNS perhaps? Since the server is pre-production I erased the harddrives last night and reinstalled OSX Server. Set it up as a gateway and webserver using the apple setup aids and the same thing. Laptops can access the server for a few moments then fail. If I make a change to the networking settings in preferences that seems to reset things for a short time and then it fails again.
    I'm stumped, but then again I'm also new at this.
    Xserve   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    &tWhen the clients keep on showing the "connecting..." screen, that is usually a DNS problem. Do you have the DNS servers correctly listed under DHCP services by the server?
    If you can ping your server but cannot access the Internet try the dig command and see if the DNS servers are responding.
    ;b>dig www.apple.com
    The last few lines should contain the IP address of your DNS server like this:
    e.g. Covad DNS server
    ;; Query time: 25 msec
    ;; SERVER: 64.105.189.26#53(64.105.189.26)
    ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 284
    If the IP address shown there is not the one for the DNS server, you have configuration problem.

  • How do I use my iPad with apple tv if my pc crashed and I can't access iTunes to turn on home sharing?

    I bought my husband an apple tv for Christmas but his pc crashed. He can't turn on homesharing on his iPad or access the iTunes store except on my computer (and he doesn't want to do that and sync with mine and lose all his data and apps). He wants to be able to use his appletv but it's looking like our only options are to either return it or buy a new computer. Is there a solution?

    The iPad only words with it by using it A's AirPlay output

  • HT4623 I just upgraded my iPhone to OS 7.0.3 and I created a passcode.  I regret having done that because the code I keep typing in isn't being accepted and then my phone gets disabled for 1 hour. How can I get into the settings to unset a passcode

    I just upgraded miy Iphone and now have 0S 7.0.3.  I ended up creating a passcode; which for some reason does not allow me to clear to get into the phone.  How do I get into my phone to change the settings so I will not be required to use a passcode every time I want to use my phone?   Carin

    Hmmm...
    First of all, your profile says you have an iPhone 3G.  Is this true?  The iPhone 3G cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1.
    Second, your post says you "just upgraded my iPhone and now have iOS 7.0.3."  That is not possible either, as the latest iOS is 7.0.4.
    You can go to Settings > General > Passcode and turn it off there ... if your iPhone is truly not jailbroken or hacked.

    5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from 

    Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
    By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
    * Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
    * Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
    * General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
    I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

  • My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

    My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

    Your iTunes account won't include your non-iTunes purchased e.g. music copied from CDs etc, nor photos that were synced from a computer.
    To get non-iTunes music you will have to go via a computer. If you don't have that music on, for example, an external drive, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer then there are apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them between devices and/or to a computer (though photos are 'optimised' as part of the syncing process, so if you do copy them back to a computer then they might not be the same as they were on your laptop).
    There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

    You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver and any other ones off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • I have totallymessed up outlook on my ipad, attempted to change password, and then couldn't send email and now can't access at all.  can i reload "clean" new version and start all over?

    i have totallymessed up outlook on my ipad, attempted to change password, and then couldn't send email and now can't access at all.  can i reload "clean" new version and start all over?

    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account name>Delete Account. A window will popu after you select your email account in the settings and there is a large red Delete Button at the bottom of the window.
    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Add account. Tap on Add account and start entering your email account details again. If your email account doesn't fit one the per installed accounts in there, tap on Other - and add your account in there.
    I would restart the iPad after you delete the email account, just to be starting "fresh" again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button

  • Since downloading Maverick I have a long hang time, computer crashes, can't use word and I can't access finder, why?

    Since downloading Maverick I have a long hang time, computer crashes, can't use word and I can't access finder, why? Also, iTunes is horrible. While I'm listening to my music iTunes will just stop playing the song for at least 5 minutes and I can't force quit why does it do that? This is the first time I have ever felt like my iMac is just as bad as a PC and I wonder if Steve Jobs would have let the program be relase to the public with all the problems involved. No wonder Maverick was free. IT ***** BIG TIME!

    Hello, vanvu. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Since you are experiencing this issue with both a wired and wireless connection only on your home network and not at other locations, this issue would related to your router.  I would first recommend power cycling the router and testing the connection again.  If the issue persists, try updating your routers settings per the article below.

  • I have a new computer and I can't access my Itunes account.  The message says that I am allowed to have only 5 authorized computers on this account.  I do not have 5 authorized computers on my account.  What can I do?

    I have a new computer and I can't access my Itunes account.  The message says I can't have more than 5 computers on this account and I don't.  What can I do?

    First of all you should really post this in Itunes forums cause you might get more hits on it.. Anyway.. You can only authorize up to 5 comps on one itunes account.. This does not include iOS devices. Those you can have 10.
    So to fix this issue, open itunes, hit store on the left side, click log in (or your e-mail address if you are already logged in) in the top right hard corner of the page. One you log into your account you will see a a little area where it says you authorized 5 out of 5 comps. Below it should be a button to clear all those out.  Itunes will de-authorize all computers on the account then you need to go back Store tab in the menu bar and select authorize this computer.
    Remember it will deauthorize all your computers, so you need to re-authorize any other computers you have.

  • I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my usernames prefills the UN field and I can't access the other account. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled username. Ideas?

    I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my two user names (always the same one) pre-fills the user-name field and I can't access the other account. The website rightfully rejects my password. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled user-name because the second I hit enter to logon, the original user-name rewrites itself into it's field. Neither of the user names is being saved by firefox anywhere in the "tools"; Options, security, advanced or privacy menu fields.
    I did notice that that website has installed a cookie onto my computer called "_rememberme" which contains the user-name that is plaguing me.
    This is a website that I access for very sensitive and important information and I must have both accounts accessible at different times.
    Thanks, Joshua

    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I added the second account on this website.

    You need to clear that remember me cookie and make sure that you remove a check mark to remember you on that website.
    Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    You can disable the automatic fill of a name and password.
    See:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_only_filled_after_entering_user_name

    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
