Insanely Infuriateing Problem

OK so itunes stopped working right after i plugged my iphone into my computer, and yes i am completely ****** off. It stopped working, it now says itunes cannot find the library.itl fle in the "my Music" Folder. And not knowing that i could not sync an iphone with 2 differet computers even if they where with the same libary, all m songs go deleted i am left with nothing except my 3 custom ringtones! please help me fix this!.

So, you don't have a previous libraries folder as mentioned in the article?
If not, you will have to create a new library file. Hold down the shift key when opening itunes.
Here are directions on that
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.6/en/15502.html
You will have lost all playcounts and ratings....but at least you will be able to open itunes and re-create your library by dragging all the music back into iTunes.
Set your iPod to manual sync if you don't want current content erased.

My iPhone 4s will not charge in car or truck. It would appear after research that this is a software issue with ios5. Will there ever be a patch to correct this infuriating problem?!!!

Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

Logic X with rMBP SSD 16gb RAM insane CPU problem.

Hi, just got a brand new MacBookPro retina SSD 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i7, 16 gb RAM. The reason I bought this was because I was told it shall solve efficiency problems when working with LogicPro. Well, it didnt. It acts 10 times worse than my older MacBook. A few instances of native synths and plugs completely freak out my CPU. Just having Logic open eats up 56% of my CPU. On my older MacBook (with 8gigs Ram and a regular HD) I could run huge sessions with no CPU spike ever!!
This is insane, why is it happening? I updated to the latest version of LogicProX, my processing threads in Logic are set to 4. Buffer size set to minimum an I still get annoying latency and unecceptable CPU crackle - like when I was working FL studio on a crappy PC a decade ago... All that, on the latest "bad-***" laptop there is out there.... Is there any hope to work professionaly with this machine, or did I just waste a lot of money?
P.s. I use a Metric Halo 2882 firewire interface connected via Thunderbolt. I tried to listen to the session after swithcing to built-in, same problems occure...
H e e e l p ! ! ! !
Thanks : (

If you didn't mistype.....
You have set up things completely the opposite to what you need for your setup.... and so, to help prevent the issues...
Go to LPX's audio prefs... and try the following;
Your i7 has 8 cores not just 4.. (4 real and 4 virtual) so set according...
Having the I/O Buffer size set to minimum increases the loads on the system, not decreases.. so change that setting... If you have it set to 32, increase it to 64 or even 128 or 256 samples... and test with each change to see how you get on....
Also what do the actual latency figures show.. (Just below I/O buffer size...) after each change...
Finally, check what you have set the Process Buffer Range to.... If it's set to small.. set it to medium and test... and then to large and test.... and again see how you get on.

Insane mouse problem in X {gnome/e17}

Hello,
A couple of days ago my mouse started clicking when I was trying to watch a video (in e17, my main environment) after a while this stopped and was replaced by a variety of odd things, no window focus, no clicking, no mouse wheel, constant window focus and now it has settled down to no right click at all.
I checked pacman logs and xorg and system logs and it reports nothing unusual at the time, anyone having the same problems or have any idea of a fix?

Hmmm, i would think it was hardware but it seemed to be moving correctly but the focus in X was wrong at points, not sure how that would be hardware, will try a new mouse though. No updates happened that were connected to X or the kernel or anything before it happened.

Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer

Hi
Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network printer
Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
Best Regards

Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.

An alert messarge i don't underdant: insane object at BDHP + 83ACC in "VI name's":{graphics} (0x80):Front Panel Terminal (Term)

Hello!
I don't know why in just yesterday appear in one of my VI an alert message or error message when i want to close oer save the VI.
The message is like the following one:
Insane object at BDHP + 93ACC in "Vi name's": {graphics} (0x80}: Front Panel Terminal (Term)
I don't know why now it appears this message because i have no modify the Vi.
I want to ask you why it appears this message and the most important......how can i solve it?
Thank you very much
Larson

Hi!!! I copy and paste from an NI engineer post asking about what is the "insane object" problem:
This message means that an object in LabVIEW such as a wire or a loop tunnel does not pass an internal test known as a sanity check. If the errors are serious enough, LabVIEW exits because something has become very corrupted. Sanity checks occur before each save, to ensure that corrupted VIs are not written over good VIs. They also happen as part of the compile process. Thus, sanity checks happen frequently. Many insanities are actually fixed (made sane) after the dialog box appears and will not appear again, so the first thing you should do after receiving an insane object error is to try to make a backup copy of the VI, run it, and perform some additional editing to see if the problem was resolved automatically.
VI corruptions do not happen often. They can happen because of disk corruption, but this will often lead to a file that can no longer be loaded. Corruptions can also happen because the programmer did something that corrupts a LabVIEW data type, perhaps as the result of a call to external code. The following are examples of insane object errors:
Insane Object at BDHP+4D50 in 'sksks.vi': (graphics) (0x80):wire segment (WIRE)
Insane Object at BDHP+5CA0 in "CAPL3.vi": (graphics) (0x80):loop tunnel (DCO)
In the first example above, the error message itself gives information about which object is insane. BDHP means the offending object exists on the block diagram heap, as opposed to the FPHP for front panel heap. The +4D50 is the hex offset in the heap where the object is located. The "Wire Segment" text indicates that the object is a wire object. The "graphics" text indicates that the insanity is graphics-related, which means it is not serious and will most likely be repaired automatically.
The second message above is similar, but refers to a loop tunnel (i.e., the tunnel formed where a wire crosses the edge of a loop) rather than a wire.
Solution: If you receive an insane object message, it is best to delete and recreate the most recently created objects on either the front panel or block diagram, depending on whether the error message contains "FPHP" or "BDHP". Make use of the text in the error message in deciding which objects to rebuild. In the case of the second message above, it would be best to delete and recreate the most recently created loop tunnels.
Another workaround that works best if the VI is small is to select the entire diagram and copy it to a new VI. After saving the new VI, there is a good chance the insane object error will no longer appear. If the VI is too large to cut and paste to a new VI and another computer with an identical version of LabVIEW is available, you can copy the VI to disk (or to your network if that is available) and open it on the second machine. If the insane object errors do not appear, save the VI (on the second machine) and transfer it back to the original PC (by disk or by network). The new, uncorrupted version of the VI should now run without generating the insane object error.
Hope that helps you,
Jaime

Can you please help solve my sudden problem saving photos in version sets?

Saving edited photos in Version Set
Ever since I have owned the excellent Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0, I have saved edited photos in a version set with the original. Now, in spite of the 'save in Version Set' box being ticked, they are saved separately. When the edited photo is saved, it says 'imported from hard disk'. It has never said this before.
When the photos are imported from the camera, they are saved in Adobe/Digital Camera Photos/code provided by photoshop (eg 2006-03-10-1632-38). Under properties/history it says imported from Panasonic DMZ-TZ3. This has not changed. All the saving arrangements appear to be unchanged.
Photos (thousands!) have been successfully edited and saved in a Version Set. Under properties/history it says 'edited version' and 'imported from Panasonic DMZ-TZ3'.
Suddenly, photos that have been edited and should have been saved in a version set, now say under properties/history nothing about being edited. They say 'imported from hard disk'. In other words they are being treated as a new photo.
I really hope you can help me to solve this infuriating problem. Please ask if you need more information.

Michael: are you still using an old version o0f PSE (e.g. PSE V4)? Problems similar to the one that you described are relatively frequent in old PSE Versions ( I was suffering a lot from them)..... and there are quite seldom in newer PSE versions. Unfortunately, I do not remember which PSE Version became much better in this area (was it V5? or V6?)
If using an older PSE version and encoutering often the problem: consider to migrate to a newer PSE Version..

Major 6600gt Problem - Need to pick your minds

Heya everyone ... I need some experienced minds
So i got a MSI 6600gt AGP the other day and have been having insane freezing problems. Lets start with my specs...
Athlon64 3200+ cpu - 1gig PC3200 ram- MSI 6600gt agp (have used Cd Drivers and official 66.93 to no avail) - Antec 430psu - Latest Mobo Bios from my PC vendor - Windows Service Pack 1 w/Directx9c- Use DH DriverCleaner to the letter before each driver install
I should have everything to make this puppy go but it's not. One thing of note is that the card worked at my dads house.... then i took it back to my house and the problems started. I thought it may be the older nature of this houses wiring so I took things off my power strip and also went out today and got a 430watt (replaced the old 250 watt psu) antec PSU from Circuit city but the same freezing still persists. I can try and load Joint Ops or HL2 but then it just freezes. My bios is set, I'm doing clean driver installs with proven drivers, I have a more than adequate PSU, the card isn't running hot at all, but I have no joy! Ohhh and yes... I did connect the one molex connector to the back of the card to power it. Please tell me if you have anything thought about this.
One thing though... yes it worked at my dads (got a 7500 3dMark03 score) but me getting the new 430psu should have fixed the potential of a power problem yes? Could it be that i dont have windows Service Pack 2?... i doubt it...all that is a security update. Also would using Driver heavens TuneXP 1.5 hurt anything with this install?
This seems like a hard one...give it a shot if you could
UPDATED >> I DL'd Service Pack 2 and a utility from MSI that tells you if the Driver is current and if the VGA Card Bios is up to date (Both of which were)... I also Disabled TuneXp 1.5.....Nothing happened...Same problems

Hi, I had the exact same problem witha leadtek AGP 6600GT, OpenGL works fine but any DirectX game just freezes. I searched all the forums I could find & found loads of people had the same problem with no fix in sight I've RMA'd the card hopefully for a re-fund and got my self an FX5900XT, overclocked it a bit & it's performong pretty well (3DMArk 01=14251, 03=6023). The problem seems to be mostly limited to the AGP version so I'm gonna wait till it's time for a complete re-build before I get a GeForce 6 and go the PCI express route. Sorry I'm no help but you are not alone :(

The Infamous Portal Configuration Assistant Problem

Hi.
Just discovered this forum so I thought I would post up the most common and infuriating problem I have had in the installation of Portal over the past few weeks.....
When attempting to configure Oracle Portal through the Assistant, it asks for the password of SYS which never works, you attempt to connect via SQL*PLUS only to discover the message :
ORA-28009: connection to sys should be as sysdba or sysoper
I'm sure you know what I am talking about so I will leave this there, anybody who has come accross this, fixed this, still fixing it, please post the messages tot his thread regardless of version and platform. That way we will have the ultimate source to the solution of this problem.
I look forward to the posts.
A.M

additional comment:
don't forget to remove or rename the associated spfile.
(usually located in the C:\oracle\admin directory for example.)
Otherwise Oracle will never read the specific init<SID>.ora file.
regards,
Udo

Insane objects in LabView 8

On updating to LabView 8, I find that a number of vi's, previously OK, now produce an error :-
Insane object "dataspace typemap" in "***.vi": {type desc} (0x100000)
Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

There is a thread that answers insane object problems here.
Maybe something in there will help.

Too many problem with Lion

So many things are not working properly in os10.7.2:
1. File manager - I need to force quit and restart it to work about 2 times daily.
2. Printing on HP network FAX and printer - my imac doesn't find it but PC under VMWare does in same machine on same network. For example the symple proces of printing from my mc is makeing pdf, open vmware and pc, open pdf SW in pc and print
3. Start application by 2X clicking a file name will not start 70% of the time
4. Software update 60% of apps needed update after installing lion will download and start running the update but fail to actualy do the update
5. Hitting an app icon in the dock will no longer take me back to an open app.
6. Uploading pictures to Facebook will work from apperture but will not let me select them from facebook (I have to open the pc under vmware and there I can do it frolm IE
7. Computer seems slower and stickie than in Snow leopard - mostly when working in Apperture
8. programs used to expand music .flac file are doing it partially - need to use PC under vmware to open my downloaded music
this are just few things that came to mind. It makes no sense to use mac any longer
An help to olve each and all issues will be appreciated.

Persistent connection problems

I am having persistent and infuriating problems connecting with iChat. When attempting to connect with a buddy the connection fails with the message "(my name) did not respond". If I try connecting with the apple test site the message is "insufficient bandwidth" although sometimes I have been able to connect. I have a G4 iBook connected to a cable modem through a DLink 524 wireless router.
I have tested my connection speed and the download tests at 1354 and the up load at 481. This seems more than sufficient for a video conference.
Quicktime streaming is set at 1.5 mbps
The router has the proper ports open
DHCP is disabled when trying to connect
All firewalls are down
I am running OS 10.4.8 and iChat 3.1.6
The buddy I am trying to connect with is using a .MAC account and AIM as am I. While trying to connect, we are able to use the text messaging with no problem.
What is going on? It already seems that even using iChat is a challenge but this is ridiculous. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi Geoff,
This is a recent quote from a post by a user who had, not identical but maybe noteworthy for your set up, problems and found a way to get up and running again. I wonder if his fix might apply to your connection problems as well:
"I have been using a D-Link DI-614+ wireless router for several years in tandem with my iBook with no problems. When I switched to a new MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz the problems started. The connection became extremely slow. I tried numerous things such as turning off DHCP, turning off WEP, changing the DTIM and Beacon Interval and all those things corrected the problem -- that is, until I put my MacBook to sleep then when wake-up time came the problem came back. I concluded that the speed up resulted from the re-setting of the router and not the changes in the setup. I returned the router back to their original settings and now every time I connect I automatically login to the router and restart it and the problem if fixed -- until the next time."
(D-link DI-624, DI-524, 54g This router was mentioned by several users as exhibiting the dropped-connection issue. This is unfortunate as the DI-624 is one of the third-party wireless routers that supports AppleTalk connectivity. The DI-524 was also mentioned by a few readers as occasionally having the problem.)
Maybe it is something worh giving a try,

When I view application windows, but then cancel from this view I am moved to another open window from the application on a different desktop space. How can I prevent this from happening?

Hi Everyone!
I'm new to Mac, and I'm a bit unsure of how to handle a problem I'm having with application windows.
Here's the scenario:
On one space I have a bunch of PDF's open in Preview next to the document I am working on. On another space, I might have an unrelated PDF open and an image, also open in Preview. Now, say I use the Application Windows button to view all my open PDF's on the first space, but then discover I haven't got the PDF open, so I need to open in in finder. The moment I quit out of the Application Windows view I am transported to another desktop containing an open Preview window! This happens with other applications too, like if I trigger application windows on pages instead of preview and need to cancel, I get transported off to some other open pages document.
This is insanely infuriating, how can I stop it!
Thanks for your time.

My new iPhone 4 doesn't work at all

You are definitely not alone with your issues. I'm on my second iPhone 4 unit, and am still having the same problems. I've had proximity sensor insanity, battery draining after 8 hours of stand-by (NO USE, just sleeping) to the point that my phone goes into a coma and has to be plugged in to be revived, the grip of death dropping calls....
But the single most irritating and infuriating problem is the signal strength/reception fluctuation. I share a house with two iPhone 3Gs users, and I had an original silverback iphone until July 2010. They all work fantastically well with no issues when I'm at home (where I am just about 24/7, since I work from home). *_My new iPhone 4 doesn't work at all.*_. Signal strength is all over the place. I did a test where I sat watching the bars showing signal strength for five minutes. In that time, I saw it switch from E (edge?) with full bars to 3G with full bars to 3G with 1 bar to 2 bars to 4 bars to 1 bar to "Searching." Then back to 3G, with degradation of bars from 3 to none, then E network appears again, this time with full strength. This all with the phone sitting on a table, not being touched by human hands.
It seems that my iPhone is constantly switching actual physical networks, and as a result signal strength is all over the place from one 30 second period of time to the next. This drains the battery like crazy, and means that all incoming calls go to voicemail--usually without my phone ever ringing.
The 3G phones in my house work great. The 1st G iPhone I have had since the week it came out worked great (though its battery doesn't hold much of a charge anymore, after three years). On my new IP4, games are awesome. The videos and photos are amazingly clear and high quality, and editing on the phone is out of sight. iPhone Apps rule. MobileMe syncs my contacts quickly and easy. The only thing I love more than the iP4 features is my iPad--it rocks.
Everything works on my IP4 at home BUT THE ACTUAL TELEPHONE FUNCTIONS. This is unacceptable. In late August, after two weeks in which I had 4 minutes of phone use, the nice folks at the Apple store switched me to a new phone, no questions asked. The phone worked so much better, I could send texts and place calls most of the time (this was now the first part of September)...except that now that I was using my IP4 to make phone calls, I started having a problem with the proximity sensor during those calls. I'd be talking and my cheek would mute the phone, turn on speaker, open contacts and edit info (with gobbledygook), and of course, hang up on people.
So around Sept. 18 I was told by Apple phone support to update to iOS 4.2, restore as new, and do two complete power up and drain down cycles. This would fix the proximity sensor and any other issues.
Well, I would love to see if iOS 4.2 actually did fix the PS, but I can't get the signal strength to stabilize long enough to have an actual phone conversation. I'm back to watching the signal strength go up and down at random (with me touching/holding it carefully to avoid grip of death, and also when I leave phone on the table with screen lock off --no touching). It is back to switching between E network and 3G and varying strengths of wi-fi from my home network. This eats up battery from 100% to low enough to turn off in under 10 hours of standby (usually 6-7). Essentially, my IP4 is back to being unusable as a phone.
So I did another long, involved call to Apple tech support on 9/18. They tell me that I have to turn off wi-fi, turn off 3G, turn off push/fetch and notifications, shut all apps (no multi-tasking) and do everything but switch my phone to airplane mode--and see if the battery holds up for 24 hours in standby. If that didn't work, I should restore from new, but not load any contacts or network or data or anything--just leave it as it would be out of the box new.
As a test, I turned everything off as advised: 3G, wi-fi, push, etc. Now my battery life is back to normal, where I can have the IP4 on stand-by for up to two full days before needing a recharge. Fabulous. BUT IT'S NOT A SMART PHONE if I have to turn off 3G, turn off wireless, and not use email push and so forth.
I'm so frustrated I could scream. I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that there is a significant flaw in the new iPhone. Or perhaps it is just an issue for iPhone 4 users in areas where the signal strength is marginal, or where there are two types of overlapping network coverage (E and 3G in my case). I know that the networks themselves are in good condition--though I'm in a semi-rural area, the state capital is 4 miles away, and I know they have a new tower and good coverage for the politicians and power brokers around town. The phone coverage area I live in has Edge network in the south part of the network area and 3G in the north part, which is the state capital. I'm right in between. Could this be the problem? AT&T says no, it's Apple's fault.
Message was edited by: HighSierra

So what to do besides complain? Troubleshoot?
I just wonder if all of us who have had chronic signal strength and "Searching for network" issues that totally drain the battery might have something in common, despite being all over the world? I'm using wi-fi 95% of the time, and live in a semi-rural area with overlapping networks run by same carrier. Apple folks hinted that maybe in my area the network usage is nearing capacity (resulting in getting kicked off of 3G and down to E as new calls are placed that strain capacity). They also hinted there could be interference from mountains or other objects. But here's the thing--3G phones work fine, and my IP4 works fine when I'm away from home, usually in the capital city on strong 3G network. (When I say "works fine I mean the signal is good and calls go through, I haven't tested battery drain away from home yet).
I have to conclude that the problem is the IP4 itself--something about the hardware or the software (namely, the way it connects to the phone network) is horribly wrong. Other folks who live in urban areas or with strong networks that (likely) aren't over-utilized don't seem to have this issue. After reading through these pages, it also seems the wi-fi may be a major culprit in draining the battery and in varying signal strength (this is from Apple phone support, which said that varying signal strength and the constant pinging off the home wi-fi is creating a "power struggle" and keeping the phone constantly looking for the best connection option). Mind you, 3G iphones on the same home network have no problems whatsoever.
So while I'm not a technical expert, it seems like the problem HAS to lie in the differences in the way the IP4 connects to the cellular and/or wi-fi network. And since the connection/signal strength problem was "resolved" on my replacement phone, but then "broken" again by the software update of iOS 4.2, I'm leaning toward this being a software issue. I've offered to help Apple troubleshoot, and I'm trying to be patient--because the IP4 is a work of art and I've never had an issue with an Apple product before. But all they want me to do is restore, restore, reload, restore, and then drive 1 hour to the nearest Apple store (in Reno, NV) and get a new phone...and start the whole process over again. I don't have time for this, I need my phone back.
I'm this close to trading in my beautiful but flawed IP4 for a 3G. Maybe I should just get a new battery for my original iPhone from 2007?
I understand that Apple can't test for every possible variable of use all over the world, but they don't even seem to acknowledge that they have a problem with the IP4 that will not be resolved by replacing it with a new unit. They want me to believe it's a fluke, or it's just me...but I've been combing these threads and see a lot of people reporting the same issues I am--battery drain and wildly fluctuating signal strength issues, wi-fi problems, and dropped calls. Can't someone get on this? Because otherwise Apple is going to have to admit that their IP4 is not a good solution for people who live in areas of less than perfect signal strength or use wifi or whatever demonic combo I have in my home/work setting.
Or people will have to do what I have done--if you who want the cool IP4 non-phone features, you will have to dumb down your IP4 in order to have it be even moderately useful as *a phone.* For $599 I expected better.
My (temporary) workaround?
To spare the battery:
*Turn off wi-fi (which *****, because now I have to burn minutes when I'm at work using the email, downloads, safari, etc--and it's E network, so it's SLLOOOOOOOW)
*turn off push and fetch, have mail get new messages manually
*turn off data roaming
To keep the signal somewhat stable (making it easier to complete calls and spare battery)
*Turn off 3G (this leaves me on E network--fabulous, I had that with my 3 year old iPhone)
*grip IP4 between two fingers placed at the top of the phone, away from death zone. Tough for us lefty phone users.
*pray the free bumper will a) come soon and b) help. I'm not optimistic.
To keep proximity sensor from going nuts and dropping calls, muting, turning on speaker etc:
*use headset or bluetooth (unless you are also having one of the known bluetooth issues!)
*keep phone pressed to one ear and don't move it a millimeter. Don't shift sides, don't hold phone with your shoulder, just keep it to one ear and talk fast).
I'm about out of patience. I understand that lots of folks have and love their IP4s. I'd love to be one of those people. I'm open to suggestions and have spent many hours on phone with tech support, restoring my phone, reloading data and apps--there has to be a better way.
Sorry for the thread-jacking, but someone from Apple has got to be following these threads--help us!

IPod no longer will play content or connect to iTunes!

Hi,
I just upgraded to iTunes 8.1 last night... I decided to do my wife a favor and get the latest version... big mistake.
OK, so i download and install 8.1, but it won't start up after the 8.1 is installed, keeps giving me an error 13014. I do some research and find that I might need to disconnect the iPod and restart the machine. Which I do. And iTunes comes back up, no error. Brilliant! or so I thought.
I never reattached the ipod, so my wife leaves for work and calls me MAD. What did you do to my iPod?! Um... nothing? well, nothing really... i just unmounted it and took it off the machine while i installed the new itunes.
OK, so she gets home, I look at the ipod it shows half of it's capacity is used, but if you go to music it says there isn't any...
Then I plug it in to the mac and BLEEP! itunes can't recognize this iPod, why don't you reset to #$*@ factory settings.
Do you have any idea how much trouble this is going to cause me?
I should add that this falls on the heals of some INSANELY ridiculous problems that i have been debugging with her itunes, ever since the genius (sarcasm) crap showed up in itunes her brand new iMac has been running iTunes like a 286. scrap that... like a TI pocket calc. It skips, it 'can't save library', it won't import some songs, it imports cd's at speed approaching never! I was all happy for her to have her first Mac, and now... i may never live it down. She revels in pointing out how messed up apple's licensing of the new ipod headphones is... she is turning into a hater.

This wound up being a hardware issue with the ipod.
