Ipod 80Gb - 5 R's haven't worked, computer won't recognise, please help.
Hey there kindly folk,
I've read through posts on this and other sites and tried what feels like hours worth of solutions but I'm at my wits end. Here's the details, hope someone can help.
1) Have 80GB classic Ipod.
2) All has been working fine for months ...
3) Recently plugged it in to sync and Windows Vista popped up a screen saying something like 'drive is corrupted' and asked me if I wanted to repair it. I said yes, nothing much happened.
4) Since then, neither Itunes, nor my computer, will recognise my ipod.
5) Have checked device manager, it's not there. Even after multiple resets and switching to other USB ports.
6) Have tried the '5 R's' with no success.
7) Have updated all vista and itunes software. No success.
7) Have tried putting it into disk mode. Got it into disk mode but computer still wouldn't recognise it.
8) Now the battery has drained and it won't charge. When I try to reset the ipod it's screen shows a yellow ! point and says 'connect to power'. As the computer doesn't seem to recognise it exists, it won't power up. Have left it plugged in for hours, with no success.
So, I guess the question is - what now? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Have you got an AC power adapter? They used to be shipped with ipod, and I still got mine from the 3rd gen one.
You DO need that to fully recharge ipod. An apple store will either sell you one or even perhaps charge it for you.
Should they exchange it, the IFRST thing, you must do is plug into the AC charger, PRIOR to connecting it to computer. For some reason, apple do recommend a FULL AC charge first.
Good luck

WiFi randomly stopped working and won't connect, PLEASE HELP
Okay, so, I have had my 32G, 3rd generation i-pod touch since Christmas and the WiFi has worked since day 1. Today, my WiFi worked all day until about 6 o'clock. I went to google something and it said that my WiFi wasn't connected. So, I went to settings and WiFi and clicked on my router. I entered in the password and it said it was "unable to connect". I have tried this multiple times, reset network settings, turned it off and back on, and tries some more and it still won't work. Then, I went to call Apple Support, but it was too late and the stupid 90 day thing where you can only get support for 90 days after purchase wouldn't have let me ask for help anyways! So, basically, what I am asking is: does anyone have a clue how I can fix my WiFi?
Help is greatly appreciated!You can start with this support article about troubleshooting WiFi on an iOS device.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Normally I would also suggest that you update your iOS to version 5 which is out now, but you may want to hold off on that and see if you can resolve the WiFi issue with the troubleshootings steps in the article first. -

With your iPod connected to your computer and iTunes running, select your iPod form the left pane, click the File menu in top bar, from there select "transfer purchases from iPod"

Since you have already done some sort of reset on your Airport Express, you might as well make sure it was a "hard reset" - follow the instructions for a hard reset found at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
Since your Mac is running Leopard, you need to configure the Airport Express using the Airport Utility found in the Applictions->Utilities folder. You cannot install the old software that was supplied on the CD you got with the Airport Express.
In future - if you do something bad with network settings on your Mac, do NOT try to fix it with the Airport Utility. The Airport Utility is only used to configure the Airport Express - and since the problem you have created is on the Mac and not the Airport Express, there is no need to be using the Airport Utility and especially there is no need to be resetting the Airport Express. -

- You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost. See:
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
- You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup. However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music. You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away. -
I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!
Seems like there is some physical damage causing an intermittent issue of the iPhone being unable to power on.
You could try a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then when the Apple logo appears release both buttons
If the reset fails I would suggest next time it powers on to try and back it up to either iTunes/iCloud then you can try a restore to factory settings or just back up and book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
All the best -

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it. -

Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?
Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari. Please help?
This resolved my problem
I checked and my Firefox is doing (or not doing in this case) the same thing. There seems to be a problem with the Snow Leopard and the Adobe browser plugin. I was able to get Firefox working again by going to Firefox > Preferences > Applications and switching all to Adobe settings to "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the plugin. Then I went to Tools > Add-ons... > Plugins and disabled the Acrobat plugin. Restarted Firefox and now pdf worked. -
