I would like to know how to fix an ipod video gen 1 that is displaying a skull everytime I try to turn it on

I have a problem with my ipod video gen 3(classic) I try over and over again to turn it on, try charging it and it does nothing. It just display a skull. What can it be?

It certainly looks like an iPod Classic, and frankly, I didn't know they could be modified. Well, strictly speaking, it can because it does have an operating system - software that makes it work.
Anyway, while you wait to see if anyone more knowledgeable has an opinion about the skull, have you tried restoring the iPod. That's done by connecting it to your iTunes and using the Restore button that's on the Device/Summary pane. Have a search through the iPod Classic forum for Restore for more information.
By the way, all the links that I looked at concerning the skull (on the top right of this thread) are for the iPod Touch. But, as I said...

  • Three annoying issues we would like to know how to fix

    Three issues with our new iMac that we would like to know how to fix:
    1. Sometime (not always) when we shut it down it restarts instead.
    2. Sometimes (not always) the display won't sleep.
    3. Time Machine keeps asking us if we want to use an external drive for backup. We say no. We don't even have Time Machine on so why does it keep asking us this?
    Can you tell us please how to fix any of these issues?
    Thank you.

    Is your software up-to-date; Mac OS X, Security, Firmware, etc?
    Try resetting both the SMC and the PRAM.
    Reset the PRAM
    • (Re)start the computer
    • Immediately press & hold the CommandOption+PR keys
    • Wait for two startup chimes
    • Release the keys and allow the computer to boot.
    Reset the SMC
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Detach the computer's power cord.
    • Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Release the power button.
    • Reattach the computers power cable.
    • Turn on the computer.

  • I would like to know how to include entries in my TOC that refer to paragraph styles that a before the TOC.

    I would like to know how to include entries in my TOC that refer to paragraph styles listed before the TOC.
    Example:
    page i. Title Page
    page ii. Abstract
    page iii. Table of Contents
    I want the TOC on page iii to include the entries "title page" and "abstract". Is this possible?
    Thank you-

    Thesis formatting rules.
    Can you answer another question?
    How do I change the text for a TOC entry? For example,
    I have selected the title on my first page, for example "Summer Report" and selected a paragraph style for it, and added it in the TOC. Now the TOC will have this entry for "Summer Report" and the associated page. But I want it to say "Title Page" instead. Can I edit this text? In order words, have the TOC point to something with whatever name I want to give it, even though it is not the actual name of the section?

  • I recently switched over from Apple to Sony and I would like to know how I can change my settings so that all my iCloud emails are forwarded to my Gmail account?

    I recently switched over from Apple to Sony and I would like to know how I can change my settings so that all my iCloud emails are forwarded to my Gmail account?

    Log in on iCloud.com and go to Mail. In Mail, at the bottom left you should see a gear icon. Click on it, go to Settings (or Preferences, I'm doing this from memory), and in there you'll find an option to forward your iCloud email to another service.

  • Hi I would like to know how I can view a video that has been send via mail. When I tap on the video it only gives me the option to send iit as mail again

    Hi  I would like to know how I can view a video that has been send to me via email. When I tap on the video icon it only gives me option to send as a mail or to open in drop box which I don't want to open in.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are doing this from your phone (as you mention) then you can use the new iPhoto Photo Journal feature to do this.
    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage.

  • I would like to know how to fix my safari. There are many pages that the text and links appear as "AAAAAAA" and I dont know where to click or what to do

    Please if anyone knows how to solve this problem, I bought this mac brand new, first time using it and many pages dont render the texts or links. It shows it like a series of "A"s.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Would like to know how I can view all my apps that we're downloaded to iTunes since you changed your system it has disapeared

    How can I view what apps were down loaded to iTunes and be able to add or delete them since your company updated your system it is impossible to view them or adjust them I would also like to know is there any way to change it back to the old system It was alot easier to deal with

    Um, you're not writing Apple.  We're all users.
    1.  You can not downgrade iOS.  It's not supported nor has it ever been supported
    2.  To view all the apps you have ever downloaded, open the App Store and tap on the Purchased Tab.  They'll all be listed. 

  • I would like to know how to put a karaoke video on Final Cut Pro and then put my voice (singing) over it?

    I had bad experience with YouTube tutorials because it's hard to find the right tutorial video that applies to my enquiries, and I have to wait until the right time till the YouTuber gets to the point, and then I have to go back to find the exact spot which I need to see to learn what I want to know how to do.

    See, that's what I was getting at -- how basic of a step-by-step instruction did you need?  It sounds like you've never actually used the program.
    My first suggestion for you is to look at the "More Like This" list on the right side of this page.  You'll see similar posts, even ones specific to karaoke.  Read those, and see if your question is answered.  One person used Garage Band.  Maybe that will work better for you than FCP.
    As for step-by-step instruction, it's basically place your karaoke video on one track, then add your voice file to an audio track underneath it.

  • Someone stole my Ipod in school and I would like to know how to use the Ipod tracker that comes when you update your Ipod. Can someone please help me?

    Can you please help. The tracker comes with the update for the Ipod Touch with Camera

    There is no tracker application bundled with an iPod (nor iPhone nor iPad). Apple offers an app in the iTunes Store that allows an iOS device on which the "Find My..." service has been set up to be tracked from another iOS device (the app goes on the device doing the tracking). But the service has to have been set up on the device you want to track before it was stolen.
