Im about to throw this thing through the window!!!!!

Need some help...how do i play my songs in order?...I pressed the play button 5 times...but then it only plays my first song then suffles again?

Hi Chadillac,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
You probably should throw it out the window because you bought an iPod Shuffle (joke). Anyways, make sure your you iPod switch is in put in the "Play in Order position (2nd out of the 3). You may want to look at iPod Shuffle Tutorial. If that doesn't work, try resetting it (Knowledge Base Document #300595 on Resetting iPod shuffle.

  • HELP! I am about th throw this iPhone out the window!

    I have had to restore my iPhone TWICE now with tech support guidence. I've has nothing but TROUBLE since both the 3.0 AND the iTunes update, and am BEYOND frustrated!!! I won't even go into all of what else went wrong previously, but now my photos will NOT show up in iTunes to sync on to phone. I have troubleshooted by reading on here...I've tried everything. Before all this trouble I had done it so I know it's not just me. The folders show, but they say 0 pictures.
    Again I'm SO SO SO frustrated. A phone I LOVED and was thrilled with has been nothing but pure frustration since the 17th. Everything I do on it is nothing but a hassle and 2 hours of MY minutes with Apple techs!!! I ahve to admit I am in tears right now.
    I hope I get some replies (!!!!) and thanks in advance... why will my photos not show up? Just empty folders???

    OMG OMG I am so embarrassed....they DID go to the folder as PPSP files. I'm so sorry! Thank you though for taking your time on me. I will go change them all and see if that works. If not I promise i'll come back here before tossing the phone out the window Again I'm sorry...but hey, if it weren't for you I never would have checked. I don't know why it saved them like that!

  • Help.. before i throw this thing out the window

    I've had my macbook pro for about 2 weeks now... at first the internet was running insanely fast; you know, as it should have been. Lately, however, when i try to get online the pages wont even load, and when they do load, they load half-assed. Half the pictures don't show, only 3/4 of the text... i was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix this. If there is a way to clean the computer.. i dunno just get it running to what it was like when i first got the thing.. thanks.

    Here's a few questions, some which others above have implied:
    1) Click the Airport icon in the Menu bar (the icon that looks like waves spreading in a v-shape in the top right-hand corner). Are you connected to YOUR network? Sometimes your MacBook Pro may connect to another network, and that network may have a low signal strength or a slow internet connection.
    2) Try using Firefox or another browser to see if the problem doesn't lie with Safari.
    3) Try connecting your laptop directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. If the internet runs fine, you may have a problem with your Airport card.
    4) I'm no expert to know if this will help you, but the following has helped with a few software glitches I've had. Run Disk Utility, select your Mac partition (NOT the hard drive, and be especially careful if you have a Boot Camp partition), click the First Aid tab (which it probably opened into), and click repair disk permissions (this may take several minutes). Try out Safari to see if its any faster.
    I have no idea whether force quitting any application would affect internet speed. But like I said earlier, I'm no expert. You have a Mac, so you don't really NEED an anti-virus program, but if you have to or insist, the best av program would be a free one. See:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6743168&#6743168
    or just search these forums for antivirus. But again, you don't really need it as many posts throughout Apple Discussions have said they cause more problems than they fix. Hope I was able to help and that your problems get solved soon. The MacBook Pro is a wonderful, powerful computer and it's a shame that your having problems with a slow connection speed.

  • About to throw this mb OUT THE WINDOW

    Ok bought a new 915p combo Motherboard and it posts and does all of that just fine.
    However Now I cant get it to boot Xp. And yea I know what your going to say fresh install xp
    but there is another glitch I cant even get it to run my harddrive utility disk or cd.

    This might seem utterly, absurdly, stupidly obvious, but in my experience sometimes obvious solutions are the most difficult to arrive at. You say it wants to start back at the beginning after the first reboot: have you either taken the CD out of the drive or changed the boot order in then bios? I’ve seen the setup program just initiate itself on the first reboot when I hadn’t even touched the keyboard (you’re supposed to get the message “press any key to setup windows” or some such) That sounds like what might be happening.

    hi my bluetooth cannot see the other bluetooth devices. When it is picked up by a different device tries to pair with it but the pairing does not occur. what can I do apart from throwing this **** thing in the bin?

    It isn't supposed to pair with the MacBook.  You can use WiFi to connect but not Bluetooth.  You can setup a personal HotSpot on the iPhone and connect the MacBook, or setup the MacBook AirPort to create a network and attach the iPhone, and use the USB cable to connect the iPhone to the MacBook for syncing and backup purposes.
    The communications are rather limited.

    I am absolutely frustrated with this new phone. My old phone, a 3G, took a total dump, so, I bought this new 4G with Siri and I cannot get it to update. I keep getting the same error message that I got with the 3G error "3014". I am ready to throw it against a brick wall!!

    The support document that you refrerred from explains it, however I have posted it here.

  • PLEASE someone help me before i throw this thing out the win

    edit - whew. good thing nobody saw this post. it was mean. i figured it out.. finally :\
    now i just gotta figure out how to get the tracks in order!! any ideas?
    Message Edited by no-sweat on 02-08-2005 07:48 AM

    You could try using simple software like Tag and Rename, very usefull to sort out the tags, Creative Zens micros and Touch's all need the tracks to be proporly tagged, Album, Track, and if you do a whole album and want the tracks in the same order as they are in the album you will have to edit the title so it has a number 0, 02 ect infront of every song, easidly done with good tagging software.

  • About throw this thing out a window - please help get it working properly

    Got one of this "seemingly" cool and efficient devices for Christmas, but since trying to install it's been nothing but a PITA. After clearing my playlist in hopes of wiping it clean, I changed the update option to manual in Edit > Preferences. Now the "Update iPod" option is grayed out and I'm getting this message upon opening iTunes:
    "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "NAME HERE". Use the iPod Software Updater application to restore the iPod to factory settings."
    I've unplugged it from my computer, reset it, plugged the cable into the USB port, then connected the cable to my iPod and the problem still persists. I've also reinstalled both my iPod and iTunes. After one unsuccessful installation I got it working, then upon updating it seemed to put the songs I blatently did not want on the iPod on it. Is anyone having a similar problem and can help me get this devil's device working? It would be extremely appreciated.

    Here's a few questions, some which others above have implied:
    1) Click the Airport icon in the Menu bar (the icon that looks like waves spreading in a v-shape in the top right-hand corner). Are you connected to YOUR network?

  • I am going to throw this machine out the window!  STATIC!

    This static is driving me CRAZY! A little background on what is going on: I am using 2 USB microphones to record a podcast (30Something Podcast). I have recorded 11 shows without any issues on my Macbook Pro and now I am getting static on ONE of the microphones. There is not static all the time, and I have yet to see a pattern on when it happens. I thought it was due to the 10.5.2 update, so I completely wipped my machine and reinstalled leopard with 10.5.1, not 10.5.2 and reinstalled iLife08. I think I did the update to Garageband 4.1.1 after the fresh install. Set everything up again, and about 22 min into the show, static happened. Again, this is on a totally fresh machine. If I restart it, it goes away. The only thing I saw that was weird was after a while during recording, the Garageband counter (the timer) seems to come down to a crawl even though the vocals seemed to be recording. It was like the entire machine was slowing down, but nothing else was running. Again, I have recorded fine a bunch of other times without issue or changes on the machine. I looked and there are no drivers for the logitech 250 headphones, so I am at a total loss at this point. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    Many usb and firewire interfaces have had some static and audio out problems with os x updates. I have a Alesis Firewire Multimix and a M-Audio BlackBox that have between the two have experienced pretty much all the problems. I e-mailed both manufactures during these problems and they told me that they were working hard on fixes but as soon as they put up a fix Apple made more changes. They said apple was aware of the problems but need to make changes. I bought a Presonus Inspire because it was reported to work flawlessly "hardly" but it did work.
    To make a long story endless in the past few months Alesis and M-Audio and Apple pushed updates that totally fixed my problems. Best thing to do is contact M-Audio with your Mac's specs and os version and see if they have or are working on a fix.

  • About to throw ipod & laptop out the window

    I received a ipod nano for Christmas and hate it already! I plugged it into my laptop that has Windows XP and got an error message stating I didn't have a high-speed USB port on my laptop. I tried both USB ports and have no idea how to get the error message to go away. All I want is songs, shouldn't that be easy enough?

    To find out what USB you have, right click on 'My Computer' then click on 'Properties' then click on 'Hardware' then click on 'Device Manager' then click on 'Universal Serial Bus controllers'. If you see Enhanced Controller, then you should have USB 2.0. If not, you do not have it.

  • Airport Extreme Base Station - I am ready to throw this thing...

    Dear All,
    I'm about ready to throw this thing out the window, along w/ everything else from Apple I own... Sorry, at my wits-end and have finally had it with this thing.
    My g/f and I live in an apt with an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS), 10/100baseT Switch, Xbox 360, PC clone tower (PowerSpec), and two Centrino Laptops... The topology our network is the following
    DSL == Modem => AEBS => 10/100 Switch => (XBox 360, Powerspec)
    Every other day, the AEBS drops out for no obvious reason. Not only for no reason, it DROPS the connection and causes interference on our wired network. If I'm playing Call of Duty 2, for instance, and using Skype at the same time, anywhere from 10-30min later, the WiFi connection will drop altogether and the wired network will go down too.
    I've done multiple hard-resets and the issue persists. Apple wants $80 to talk to me (after we paid $150 for it because it's supposedly "the best") after only owning it for a little over a year. It seems that this problem has been persistent.
    My g/f finally cracked down and bought a Verizon EVDO card and uses it while she is out, but in the house because she cannot use our home network reliably.
    I've tried using it on WPA2, WEP, and even left it open but the thing still drops for no reason...sometimes within hours, or two two days. I'll come home, boot up my laptop, and the WiFi is completely gone...non-existant. Boot hers, same thing... I doubt it's interference because we have 1 cordless phone and it's a 900mhz, which we rarely use anyway.
    Does anyone else have any of the problem(s) we're having? This has been semi-often since we got it, and all Apple told us was "interference" and won't help us because we use PC (I used to own a Mac, hence why I got this).

    Update: Well, the AEBS 'bombed' out again when I got home on Friday, no access whatsoever.
    I unplugged my DSL modem from it, plugged it in directly to my HP notebook, and was surfing the 'net w/out a problem. Power cycled the AEBS and it worked fine. That was just over one day on firmware v5.5.1, longer than it lasted on v5.7.
    Here's my conclusion...
    I'm 'convinced' that v5.7 is buggy and it's known, or well documented. It will cost more money to fix it, or release a new firmware version that repairs the bugs from v5.7, than to just leave it alone and hope people either downgrade to v5.5.1 or purchase a new AEBS (w/ 802.11n).
    After countless hours of dealing w/ this, of which I feel like a complete and utter fool, I went out and bought a competitor's product (Linksys) and installed it on Saturday morning. As of this writing, I've had no drop-outs and the access seems to be more punctual, or responsive than when I was accessing under my AEBS. Therefore, I'm happy to say my problem of unreliable WiFi access in my apt is solved, but only after spending $50 to purchase a new router.
    I spent $180 on the AEBS and I can remember the first time I had to call AppleCare about printing issues I was having with it; I could print from Windows XP (both wired and wireless), but not from Tiger OSX 10.4. No-one had a clue, but was only told that the issue was my "printer" not the AEBS or my Mac. Despite repeated attempts to re-inform that it works just fine under Windows XP with both my Lexmark and Canon inkjets, it would not print properly (bombed out half/way through the page) under Mac OSX.
    So, here on my shelf, sits the Airport Extreme Base Station that I paid $180 for, and it is basically useless. Apple could care less about it, but then again, why should they--after all, it had a 1 year warranty and despite trying to resolve issues I had w/ it while it was in fact within the warranty period, that time has come and gone.

  • Please help - about to throw heavy 8 core out window

    I had been using FCP 5 on my iMac for nearly 2 years. I have exported via Quicktime conversion, and straight to Compressor with no real problems with speed.
    I have a large encoding job to get done, so i upgraded and got Dual Quad 2.8 with 4 gb of RAM. I also upgraded to FCP Studio 6.
    Encoding times for H.264 are taking longer than on my iMac by a long time. A 15 second test file running through single pass H.264 encode is taking 4 minutes. It took 45 seconds on my iMac!
    I've tried setting up the cluster using 4 instances, I've tried using "this computer only". I've tried with and without frame controls for interlacing. I've tried creating reference movies and importing into compressor. I've tried exporting straight from FCP. I've tried un and re-installing the software.
    I'm dying here. Have spent a ton of cake and feel like throwing this thing out the window. I've googled until my fingers turned blue looking for suggestions. I'm in serious need of help.
    Please, oh Mac FCP gurus, lay your knowledge down on me! I can provide specific settings and specs as needed!
    Please!
    Mike

    Did you try the exact same media file when comparing your iMac against your Mac Pro? Keep in mind that different media is handled differently.
    If you are using any frame controls for your H.264 multi-pass transcodings in Compressor, have a look at this post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7309534#7309534
    As Brian Gary mentiones in that MacBreak video, maxing out your instances in Qmaster is not necessarily the best thing to do when trying to make use of a virtual cluster.

    I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

    Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
    That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.
