I've got an 8 1/2 year old I Pod that just stopped playing. battery shows over half charged, song shows on screen but I can't shut it off or move it to another song or get it to work on I tunes off my computer
my 8 1/2 year old i pod quit working. the battery is charged but the i pod won't play or advance to next song or work on i tunes. its like it just died and i haven't dropped it or got it wet. help?
Howdy sld1106,
It sounds like you are able to see the screen but it is otherwise unresponsive. I would start by resetting the iPod with this article:
Reset your iPod - Apple Support
That should get your iPod back and working. If not let the device charge for 30 minutes, and then try turning it on normally first, and reset it one more time if it doesn't turn on.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

HI there all, have got a 2 year old macbook pro that just recently wont start up. Even if I know the battery is fully charged. What I have to do is remove the battery, wait a minute or so, insert back in and it will fire up. Any ideas?
Try the old two stand-by's first:
Reset PRAM, and;
Reset SMC.
If that doesn't help, call back,

- 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.
- Delete the songs and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
also when i was downloading them a few had stopped for unknown reasons but i just resumed the downloads and it said they were all done and i synced the 19 songs fine.
can anyone help with this?If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, 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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -
How do I fix a song that just stops playing
I purchased two songs from itunes and one will play almost the whole song befor stoping but the other will only play 25sec.and then stop what do I need to do.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -
Music stops playing in the middle of my song
All types of music I play (YouTube, purchased etc. ) just stops playing in the middle of the song and still has the pause button as if the music was still playing. This isn't the first problem I've had with the iPhone recently. My camera had condensation in it at what point and no water had gotten on the phone. Also, my lol button recently stopped working and it isn't stuck or anything. I don't understand why there has been so many issues with the phone. I take very good care of it and I have a lifeproof on it.
- First place the iPod in a sealed container/bag of rice for a couple of days. Change the rice daily. Do not turn on or charge before it is dry.
- The try the standard fixes, reset and restore, including restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.
- Try both headphones and speaker.
- If no usccessful then the water caused permenent damage to the iPod and service is required. -
can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.
Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it. -

If I install a paid app on my iPhone, can I later uninstall it and move it to another iPhone?
If I install a $25 paid app on my iPhone just as a trial, can I later uninstall it and move it to another iPhone?
the phone I would move the software to is not one that is owned by me or manged by my iTunes account.
Not possible. All apps are forever tied to the Apple/iTunes ID they are purchased under.
Exception: As wjosten pointed out, you can share apps between devices with different Apple ID's if used in the same household... Home Sharing. -
I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits. It was just working and now it wont. What is wrong? What can I do?
Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. To 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. See if that fixes your problem.

When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes. Any idea what to do to get the synch working?
OKay, here is the deal. You cannot change the location of encrypted files nor can you share them with other machines. There is no file server for iTunes so even if you export the movie index from iTunes to an external volume, each time you reboot your computer itunes has to reindex the external drive every time you want to access the files. The second you run your mobile computer without the external drive or try to access the HD movies from another device or another user on the same network, the indexing gets out of synch. The entire process is self defeating regardless. The HD movies are encapsulized by apple to stream to your devices via iCloud and NOT via Cloud. Only your TV can play 1080p. That single file you download from iTunes has mutiple versions of the same video in the capsul, one version for each type of apple device. There are no 1080p apple devices except for the Apple TV. When you buy a movie you are buying a license and not the movie. It's going to get worse with all the new copywrite laws. Already you cant share any apple devices with other itunes accounts. Your airport express just stopped streaming music to all users on the local home sharing Cloud. Only the one user for each device and soon only airplay speakers connected directly to the device. No more passthru via your TV and no more file sharing with other accounts on the same wi-fi. All the ISPs are doing the same thing. And soon everybody will be buying their phones and TV's and iPads from the cabble guy.
Apple has done a poor job of educating the consumer as to the difference between the Cloud and iCloud. They are not the same at all.

My 12 year old Canoscan 8800f has suddenly stopped working.
My 12 year old Canoscan 8800f has suddenly stopped working. When I press the power button a light comes on inside, but after a bit of whiring it goes out and the scanner switches off. Is there a solution or should I buy a new scanner?
Solved!
Go to Solution.I would still get a new one. They aren't too expensive and they have added a lot of features such as LED bulbs and instant on.

You need to move the music from the iPod to your iTunes library on your computer then sync with the iPhone.
Assuming you have a PC you can use this: http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/ -
IPod classic stops playing in the middle of a song
I've had the same iPod classic for seven years. It still works very well, except that lately it stops playing in the middle of a song. I have to hit "play" for it to start playing again. Sometimes it will go for only ten seconds between stops, other times it will play just fine for several minutes before stopping. The song that I'm playing doesn't affect the stops. This only happens when I'm running, so I'm wondering if maybe the vibrations from running are what's causing it.
Does anybody have any suggestions for what I could do to fix this? I've tried restoring the iPod, and that didn't affect anything. I always keep the battery fully charged.See if this helps ... https://discussions.apple.com/message/21623941#21623941

I have an old I pod that was syncd with a windows computer, now i am trying to sync with my mac itunes account. We have the same i tunes account but it is saying i will lose all my songs if i sync now. Help?
I would recommend you use a program called senuti that allows you to copy your songs over to a new computer from an iPod. Unfortunatlly you have to pay for the full version but it allows you to have 1000 free song capacity of copying over and a movie counts as the capacity of 1 song.
