- Try another cable

My iPod 2nd Generation won't turn on and will not connect to any computer!

A few months ago I woke up one morning and tried to turn on my iPod 2nd generation. It wouldn't, so I thought that maybe it was just out of battery. I plugged it into my computer but it would not connect and charge. I tried pluging it in to many other computers and none of them worked. (I tried MACs and PCs) When this happened my warranty was already up. Now my parents want to bring it in to see what is wrong, WHILE THERE IS NO WARRANTY!!!!!!! I told them that it was a waste of time and money because we would have to pay to see what was wrong. If there is something wrong that is easy to fix great!, but if there is something really wrong with it and it is crazy expensive to fix we just waisted time and money. If there is something wrong but there is no way of fixing it we also wasted time and money!! I have explained all of this to my parents but they won't listen!!! Is it worth it to get it checked out or should I just keep trying to explain to them that it's a waste of time and money???? Help!!

If your iPod is still charging if you plug it to the adapter, let it charge for about 10min, then connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If it does not charge, you'll have to get it serviced.
Apple can offer you a replacement device, but you'll have to pay for it:

My ipod 2nd generation won't charge. No status light when conected to computer.

Recently found an ipod shuffle 2nd generation. When I tried to charge it there was no status light on it at all. Thinking it could be beyond use as it hadn't been used for a long time. Any advice welcome.

Are you using the USB docking cable that came with your 2nd gen iPod? It has a mini-dock at the iPod end. The docking cable for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle does not work with the 2nd gen shuffle, because the connector is different.
If you are using the original cable (or a compatible third-party replacement), there are three possibilities. (1) A problem with the computer's USB port not working or supplying sufficient power. (2) A faulty docking cable, even if it's the right cable. (3) A problem on the shuffle.
If you can do some tests to rule out (1) and (2), then it is likely to be (3).

9.2.0 OCCI's setString Won't Work, Need Help w Thks

Start exploring occi.h (oracle version 9.2.0) but hit a problem w no clue to solve it.
#include <iostream>
#include <occi.h>
using namespace oracle::occi;
using namespace std;
int main()
// declare Environment, Connection, ResultSet, Statement
env=Environment::createEnvironment(Environment::DEFAULT);
con=env->createConnection("myname", "mypws", "myConString");
stmt=con->createStatement("select * from aTable where aFld=:1 and bFld=:2");
stmt->setInt(1, 10);
stmt->setString(2, "myValue");
rs=stmt->executeQuery();
rs->next();
// cout result, all fields empty, seems a result not found
stmt=con->createStatement("select * from aTable where aFld=10 and bFld='myValue'");
rs=stmt->executeQuery();
rs->next();
// cout result, got the record and print expected result.
// close connection on env, rs, stmt, con
the diff. between 1st & 2nd SQL stmt is one is parameterize and the other is not. If in 1st SQL stmt, I hard code :2 to 'myValue' and then execute setInt() only, it works as well. So it is the 'setString()' function that won't work.
Any idea?
You help is really appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Nikeda
The bFld is in char(10).
You are correct, so when I change the sql stmt to "select * from aTable where aFld=:1 and trim(bFld)=:2", it works. Or when I change "myValue" to "myValue<+ 3 space", it works as well.
Thanks

Exchange Active Sync won't work need help

I have been reading a few dozen of these post that people are having issues with there iphone sync with exchange. I am TOO!.
For some i can get into owa and from the iphone safaria.
The iphone was able verfy the ssl certificate, but nothing is syncing with mail server
My network infrastructure.
1. Clustered mail server . Running exchange server 2003.
2. firewall- port 443 has been verified to be open and able to acces owa from iphone safari
3. I have NO isa setup in my network.
4. Called SSL verisign company and everything checked out to be fine.
5. virtual folders have been verified to be correct.
6. checked dns report no errors.
7. AD exchange feature mobile services and protcols was verfied to all on.
8. turned off wifi
9. checked all creditals.
And it just won't push anything. I have come to the conclusion that is either IIS or Iphone is using a multiply protocol ports to access the exchange. But i don't know i need HELP
Simple troubleshooting steps to start with:
1. Check your version of Exchange. Must be at least 2003 w/SP2.
2. Check your security certificate. If you go to your "https://webmail.yourdomain.com/owa" or "https://webmail.yourdomain.com/exchange" and receive a certificate error, you may want to look into an external certificate from a recognized CA. I used SBS through my registrar.
3. Check to ensure your "Front-End" and "Back-End" server are not both requiring SSL. That will cause issues with OMA.

You don't want to check OWA (Outlook Web Access) as it is a full mail client for a notebook or desktop.
The iPhone uses ActiveSync OMA for syncing. Thus, you want to check https://www.domain.com/OMA (where www.domain.com is the URL to the Exchange server - same URL as the OWA url) with a notebook or desktop. The "s" in https is needed at OMA requires SSL.
You should see a login prompt for username and password followed by a list of Inbox messages. If you don't, the server is not correctly configured for OMA.
Once OMA works from a desktop or notebook, it is an easy procedure to add an Exchange account to a phone. Just follow the iPhone on screen examples and provide only the path to the Exchange server and not the "/Exchange" following.

Shows flash player is installing, but then can't find it and it won't work. Help please

Hello. My flash playe worked just fine until this morning. I turned my computer on, went to a facebook app., and got a message "if doesn't load in the next 10 seconds, upgrade flash by clicking here" which brought me to adobe I have an Acer laptop, and am running Internet Explorer 7.
I've done everything I can, but can't get flash player to work. I've uninstalled, re-booted, re-installed, re-booted. I've made sure my security zones are on medium, I've temporarity disabled my virus protection program while uninstalling and installing. I've went under tools, manage add ons, to enable it, but the only adobe add-on listed is adobe PDF link helper and it's enabled. I've checked to make sure Java script is enabled, I've made sure I have the 32 bit browser, I've done everything I could find to do (I've worked on this for hours today).
When I click to download from adobe site, it shows it installing without a problem, goes all the way through, shows done, then shows to close download manager. If I go through control panel to 'uninstall programs' adobe flash is listed. If I go through start, adobe flash is not listed in my programs and does not come up when I search under start.
So, from I can find, I can download and install it, but then it's not there and doesn't work. Please Help. I've struggled with this all day, and it's very frustrating, and the only way to reach adobe is to pay $39 for a phone call. I really need help on this, it would be very much appreciated. Please, and thank you.

Hi, and thanks again for taking the time to help me with this, I sure appreciate it. I ran a disc cleanup, then I went in under internet options and deleted the cookies and such. I got rid of the uninstall and install programs I had in the download folder but still have the ones on the desktop.
I went to Windows/System32- but I don't have a Macromed folder there. I have one under the SysWOW64 folder though, a Macromed folder, with a Flash folder under it, with files uner it:
Flash10l.ocx- ActiveX control,
FlashInstall- Text document,
FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll- Application extension,
FlashUtil10l_ActiveX- Application (with a red file by it, and it opens the uninstall program), and
install- Text Document.
The two text documents say they were created last year, but the other three say they were created today.
And like I said, these are under the SysWOW64 folder. The System32 folder does not have a Macromed folder under it at all, and instead of being in alphabetical order from top to bottom, they start with Z and the A's are at the bottom, if that means anything. I called my frienfd and had her check her computer step by step as I did mine, and hers doesn't have a Macromed under the System32 folder either, but does the SysWOW64 file, and it has the same files I do, except two of the first one, the Flash10l.ocx, but with different dates on it.
I ran my virus scan, avast, and it didn't find anything. I did close the browsers to run the Window Defender and Malwarebytes, and tried it again a few minutes ago, and they are still saying they find nothing. The malwarebytes found 7 things this morning when I ran it, but hasn't found anything since.

Usb 1.0 won't work - need help urgently

Happy holidays and hope Santa is working overtime
Got iPod nano for my son and mrs. and can't get them to work properly. Long time mac users, G3 iBook at home (mac 10.3.9), g4 iMac at office but neither have usb 2.0 as older machinese.
For some reason, even after downloading 7.5 iTunes, when we connect new nano with usb connector supplied in box, only get that apple icon popping up; can't connect for some reason, can't see nano on desktop.
Tried it with old Sony Vaio, running WinXP but a gain older model, no usb 2 and only usb 1 ports. Can't read there either.
Funny, when I plug with my old 3rd gen iPod charger, using firewire with common plug, it's charging fine.
Can someone explain if it's the usb port that's a problem? Mrs. leaving to visit mother for few weeks early tomorrow morning and I have appointment with genius bar at 10 am - but too late to help her.

Yep, on my iBook, got message finally that needed 10.4.8.
Re-tried with WinXp (not sure if SP2) and got it connected, trying to rip some CD to sync and completed about 5 cd. After ejecting nano, couldn't get it to 'turn-on' which is weird - so i'm leaving it connected to pc to charge (instructions say 3 hrs).
My suspicion is this is a lemon.
Btw, can i charge this generation nano with the 'traditional' firewire charger that came with my old iPod (3rd gen)? If we do get it to work, my wife won't have pc to charge with when traveling and I'd like to give her my charger to take along?
Thanks,

My iPod Nano just won't work anymore. Please help if possible.

I have had my iPod Nano for under a year, and this past month it has been going crazy on me like for a week I was unable to turn it off. However, it all of sudden worked fine but two weeks later while I was listening to it, it just turned off on me. Now I cannot open it and I have tried charging it but nothing shows up and it just will not turn on. It is like my iPod has died. Has anyone else gone through this? Thanks for the help.
Windows XP

Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
My iPod won't wake up.
iPod touch-wheel is unresponsive after waking from sleep.
When restoring the iPod, it's recommended to put it into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
If none of the above help, then it's probably a service issue.
You can arrange online service here.
Service request.
Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

"add printer" utility won't work, need help

I have an IMac “Lamp”. After I upgraded to 10.4.7 the ‘add printer’ utility will not work and so no printer is available.
I had an older HP printer and one fellow at HP said that the problem was with the printer. I bought a new HP Photosmart 8250, installed the software and the same problem exists. The computer can see the printer and recognize it specifically as being plugged into the port but the ‘add printer ‘ utility still doesn’t work.
A nice Canadian lady who works for HP spent well over an hour on the phone with me guiding me through quite a few moves dumping various files but to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi..
I have a Poer Book G$ )S X 10.4.5. I am having the same problem with my printer utility....won't add printer. I am trying to install a new printer, HP 2575, all-in-one. With the instruction of HP support, I downloaded the latest driver, uninstalled all my other printers, re installed the HP 2575, threw out many files, etc., all with no success. My husband was able to install the printer on his PC (windows)...so it is a MAC problem. Now, there is nothing in my library/printer folder. My system does not list any printers either. When I plug the printer into my MAc with the UBS cable, it shows on the list of printers, but I can't add.
Someone please help if you can.

APPLE TV 2nd GENERATION WON'T WORK IN BRAZIL

I just bought the new version of AppleTV. I have the old one as well and it
works flawless.
But this new version is not working as fine as the salesman told me at Apple
Store Miami Beach (Lincoln Road).
I bought this one so I could watch Apple TV at my folks place in Brazil.
Since I live in the US, I logged in my iTunes Store as soon as I got to
Brazil to visit them. The thing is, I can access the option to rent a movie,
but whenever I try to rent it, there's a message saying that there's a
problem with iTUnes Store and asks me to try again later. The salesman
guaranteed me that the AppleTV would work in Brazil with my US Account (but
I could only rent movies). What should I do ? Is it really a problem with
iTunes Store or all that proxy thing (that I was told it would not happen).

I would guess this is a restriction of your internet service in the UAE - A lot of middle eastern countries are restricted. Get yourself a router that support VPN, purchase a subscription to StrongVPN and then you will appear to be in the UK.
Hope that helps
Paul
