I think my iPod is coming back to life! Interesting behaviour

Hi All,
We have established by now that there is a major issue with Shuffles. Minehasn't worked since the last updater, tried restoring, loading original software cd etc etc.
Tonight I had a thought that my battery was so empty that a good solid charge would help it come back so i can at least see some lights! When charging in my USB port in my keyboard i've noticed that the light is on but its only very very faint, you can see it when in complete darkness.
Has anybody else experienced this problem? If so does this mean there is still life in my shuffle? Nothing else seems to be working i.e not mounting into iTunes or desktop, not playing or any "proper" lights are showing. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Carl.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the advice however when my iPod was working fine i could only mount it onto iTunes and desktop when connected via keyboard. When the Shuffle is in one of the back USB ports it never seemed to light up or mount. I will try it for a few hours in the back of my iMac to see what happens and will post back with results.
Carl.

Screen dimming after 20 seconds - not coming back to life

This morning, when I started my laptop, it was working fine. THen after about 20 seconds the screen went really dim - dimmer than you can make it go normally, and too dim to use, but you can still see somethign.
I put it too sleep, then brought it back again, and it came to life - but then did the same thing.
Can anybody tell me what is wrong?
Thanks

You also may want to check TVT Power Manager; there are a few options in there that dim the display, some of which really dim the display quite a bit.

I 'think' my Ipod Touch is in recovery mode and people say to hold the power and home button for 10 sec and i did, but its still not turning back on. Plus its dead and wont charge

I 'think' my Ipod Touch is in recovery mode and people say to hold the power and home button for 10 sec and i did, but its still not turning back on. Plus its dead and wont charge. PLZ HELP ME!!!!

- If in recovery mode the screen will have an iTunes logo with an USB plug.
- Have you tried connecting it to your computer for a n hw and then see if it appears in iTunes. If it does restore the iPod.
- If screen is blank, try placing he iPod in recovery mode and then restoring. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

I have tow itunes libraries. Music from one library has merged with the other and I can not delete the songs. They keep coming back.

I have two ipod touch libraries under my account. One for my daughter and one for me. I bought my daughter an Iphone and then opened her ipod touch libraryon the computer (Windows Vista). I plugged in her iphone so that she can have the stuff from her ipod touch on her new phone. Somehow her library has partially merged with my library. My ipod touch now has some of HER games and music on it. I went into my library and deleted these games and songs, but they keep coming back. How do I get rid of these once and for all. I don't want to be shuffling AC/DC, Rob Zombie, and then get Justin Bieber all of a sudden while sitting at a red light in traffic.

- 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
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT204053 i am trying to create an account for icloud. i have had itunes for years and am using my apple id. however it is coming back as saying this is your apple id but not your icloud id??? from what i have read this is the same thing. i cant get passed

I am trying to create an icloud account and have used itunes for years . Therefore have been using my apple id to sign in. Unfortunatly it keeps coming back saying this is my apple id but not my icloud id is this different?
Ive looked at help and it states its the same i have changed my passord several times as i thought it was this. Can anyone please help.??

I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
Thank you for any help you can give.

I had to format my HD, now iTunes says my iPOD is sync'd with another computer. How do I get my iPOD's music back in to the library and sync it with the computer again?

I had to format my computers hard drive. Now the iTunes thinks my iPOD is sync'd with another computer. How do I get re-sync the iPOD and computer and get my songs on the iPOD back in to the iTunes library. Thanks!

Can't tell you exactly, as it can be used to facilitate piracy and Apple blocks this sort of thing from occuring (except for itunes purchased music)
But you can find out what your looking for at iLounge, i'd suggest that method for "mixed" music from different sources, that way you get it all back.
Next time, hit the iTunes menu and backup your library to disks, only takes a few minutes and a few DVD-R's.
Good Luck

Deleted mail keeps coming back in to mail

Using mail on Imac, Laptop, ipad and iphone.
When I move a message to a folder on the imac it keeps coming back in to the mail account. It appears to work OK on the laptop when I move a message. All the settings appear to be the same. Any idea what is going on?
Thanks

An update to my previous questions. This problem I think started after Maverick was installed. Also if I just try to delete a message it will pop back in. Appreciate someone telling me what is going on?
Thanks

Photos Disappearing and Coming Back Out of Sort!

Hello...Please read this box carefully and help me anyway you can:
Some hours ago I was doing some changes in my settings and then when I lunched Photos, suddenly I saw all my photos have DISAPPEARED!!! I paniced! those photos mean a lot to me! I've recorded my best moments in this device! then after a minute I saw a word "Restoring..."
I became happy that everything is going back to normal but I saw only some of my pictures and videos in Camera Roll are coming back WITHOUT ANY ORDER! Every Pic that was in this App, was following one of my nice memories one by one but now they're somehow all GONE! Also my handmade Albums are all gone too! I don't know what to do. I just want my photos back in the sort they were! Plus, I have no backups on iTunes or iCloud...
Waiting for your help, Thanks...

Thanks I'll have another go at that then...think there might be a <base> tag in there somewhere confusing things a little.
By the way, have you had a problem when making the first switch to https, after the cert is accepted it hangs on my setup and will only continue if you refresh the page...
Thanks again.

HT4899 I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though i delete them they just keep coming back

I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though I delete them they just keep coming back. I now have 7 email that I that I can delete several times a day and they just keep coming back. Very frustrating !!

Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password. This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

HT1918 my credit card info is correct and is coming back declined and also charged my account over $60

my debit card isnt updating and it is correct coming back decline also charged my account over $60 trying to update info with new card PLEASE HELP

Your post's title says credit card, but in your post you say debit card - which one is is ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management.
For the $60, each time that you try to add or change your card details (how many times did you try to add the card ?) a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

Will there be a new ipod touch coming??

With the new 3G iphone S which is faster, will there be a new ipod touch coming? Thinking of buying an ipod touch but not too sure if it is worth the wait for a newer model.

will there be a new ipod touch coming
It's almost certain there will be an new iPod touch coming. I doubt very much that they have stopped developing and discontinued the iPod touch with the existing models.
The question is "when?", and no-one outside Apple knows that.
Thinking of buying an ipod touch but not too sure if it is worth the wait for a newer model.
Does the current model do everything you want? Is it at a price you think reasonable? If so, buy it.
If not, wait for a model that does do what you want at a price you like.

My iPod came back to life!!

I'm happy, really happy right now. My ipod has risen from the dead. He drowned about 2 weeks ago in my messenger back. Now after much fiddling and patience he is back, alive and happy. I am too. Here's the story...
After a long tiring day at work I grab a bottled water from the shop down the block. I take a few sip and throw it in my bag and jump the bus, all is good, so I think. I get home and apparently the cap was not screwed on tight enough and my bag is full of water. What's in the bag you ask? Phone, bills, sketchbook and my iPod which I use everyday at work, everything swimming around. I freak. First reaction is to wipe everyday off dry, second reaction is to see if they still work...wrong reaction. So the iPod freaks out a little and gives me a frozen half charged sign then dies. I hit this website to see what to do next. Don't touch y'all say, let it sit for a week y'all say. ****, I killed it I think. So after about 5 days I check it out, horrible clicking sound and the dreaded "! sad face" sign then it dies, shuts off. My computer won't recognize it, the clicking sound hurts me. I try everything and nothing works. I let sit for a couple more days, think about selling it off to iPodresq for $35 and putting that toward a newer 5G iPod. I start saving money.
Just as I was about to purchase a new iPod from a guy off of Craigslist I try one more thing. I restart, menu-select, then immediately press back-select. Something different happens, a weird menu that allows me to restart by pressing forward not scrolling like normal, I do. Hook it to the computer and restore and cross my fingers, Poof! The iPod is on my desktop, all songs gone, but I could care less, my iPod is back! Yippee!!! I update all the songs back in and give it a listen, all is good. I'm happy, really freaking happy.
So before you think your iPod is dead and your ready to sell it for $35 to iPodresq try a little messing with it longer, really try it worked for me. Its like I have a new iPod, I can quit stealing my girlfriends. To think I almost bought a shuffle just to hold me off till I could afford the iPod video......
iPod 4th gen
iPod 4th gen Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, I try not to associate luck and electronics in the same sentence! Unfortunately, HDD do have an expected life to them. I have had a couple crash at home, and a number at work, when I was responsible for our network. Believe me, nothing is scarier than part of your RAID array going bad. Especially, when it is the ones holding the operating system!!
There are a number of repair places listed in other forms, or you can do a Google search and find some that will replace the HD. You can also find sources that you can buy drives and replace yourself if you are so inclined.
Hope this helps.

Retrieving the previous session fater coming back from a different appserv

Hi
My requirement is given below .
Currently I am in Application1 with session1 -now i went to Application2(different app server than application1) with session2 ....now i want to come back to Application1 with previous session i.e session1.is it possible to retrieve the old session using urlrewriting?? if yes then how??
Regards
Ravi

Hmm,
I don't think so, with URL re-writing. The reason is because application2 would need to do the re-writing, and so would need to know the JSESSIONID of session1, which presumably it wouldn't know.
Options, I guess, would be to pass the JSESSIONID for session1 to application2, which stores it, then uses it to re-write the URL when coming back to application1. Or you could add a persistant cookie that stores the JSESSIONID from session1, then when you enter into application one, check for the cookie, and re-use the same session. You would want to double check your session timeout however, because the session may die if the user is in application2 for too long.

ITunes sometimes 'thinks' the iPod is corrupted

iTunes sometimes thinks the iPod is corrupted. But it only thinks so if I connect the iPod WHILE itunes is running. If I connect the iPod and then start iTunes there isn't a problem. Or if the message below appears I can click OK.. stop itunes, restart itunes and then iTunes can see the the iPod just fine.
http://codethought.com/images/itunesfailmsg.png
I've tried reformatting the iPod - same thing. I've also flushed my OS installation out.. reinstalled OS X from scratch.. and the problem went away... until today. Now the problem is back.
Any thoughts on how to determine what the root cause might be, or how to diagnose it?

I am having the same problem with my old iPod. I just bought a new iPod an hour ago and same thing.
Help anybody?
I am using Windows XP

I think my ipod might have a software problem what should i do????

i think my ipod has a software problem and i call the place i brought it from and they said for me to reset the whole thing so it would show the itunes logo and usb logo i tried to connect it to itunes nothing happened but my brothers one works so should i return it to the place i brought it frome because i have a garantee on it for 3 years so can any one give my some info on what i should do???????????????????????///

It rest every thing and left me on the usb and itunes icons the guy said if it does not work then I should take it back to se if there is a sofeware issue and they will repalce it.
