Ipod always changing symbols

Hi,
If anyone reads this can you please help. For about a week now, my ipod is not working. When i plug it into my mac the charge battery symbol comes up and then when i plug it into a power source the unhappy ipod face comes up. I have tried to fix it over and over again by restoring it but it won't go into disk mode.
HELP!

See these troubleshooting articles.
My iPod is sad.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

  • When an iPod is changing, Is its power supplied by the adapter or by the battery?

    The power is always supplied by the battery, just the charger supplies power to the battery faster than the ipod uses it.

  • IP address always changing on FiOS router for Brother Wirless Printer

    I am probably missing something relatively basic and networking is not my area of expertise so I am looking for some assistance.  I have FiOS setup and working great my issue is with connecting my Brother HL-2170W wireless printer to the wireless network.  I can get the printer connected to the wifi network just fine my issue is the IP address appears to be constantly changing everytime I turn the printer on - I am guessing based on whats available within the range and whats connected? 
    Anyhow the printer does appear in my network control panel 192.168.1.1 etc but the last digit of the IP address changes.  I am not sure where the issue is but I don't seem to be able to communicate with the printer from my PC running XP Pro.  The only way I can get the printer to work with my computer is to go into my FiOS network control find the IP address its connected with and manually enter it in the printer settings on the computer.  How do I set this up so I don't have to do this?  There is obviously something I am missing or didn't setup correctly that would enable this to happen automatically.   Or can I set the printer on a static IP so its not always changing?  
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Setting the device to have the same address assigned to it each time it is turned on.
    For an Actiontec router. Westell router may be close to this.
    1. Log Into the router with your web brouser at  http://192.168.1.1/
    2. User name "admin" password is "password or password1". Without the quotes.
    3. Open Advanced from the top menu, and answer yes.
    4. Open IP Address Distribution.
    5. Open Connection List
    6. Look for your device.
    7. Select Edit for your device from under the Action column on the right.
    8. Check the box that says "Static Lease Type" and click apply.
    Your device will always be asigned the same address when it connects to the network .
    Or set the address as static on the printer if it can be done. You would need to look at the printer documentation.

  • When I charge my ipod, the apple symbol comes up as if it was turning on, then it goes black and repeats the process. Sometimes it gets to where I have to put in my 4 digit code to unlock it then goes black, any suggestions on why it does this?

    Does it work OK otherwise?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable and USB port and/or charging source
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Blu-ray builds to an ISO always change my 5.1 audio to stereo.

    I'm editing in Premier Pro CS6 and sending via a dynamic link to Encore. I'm building my menus and importing other timelines before making the final build as an ISO (Blu-ray Image). I believe I have everything set to the proper Blu-ray specs however the builds always change my 5.1 audio to stereo. The Blu-ray Transcode Status shows Transcoded and the Transcode Settings show Automatic for all the sequences and -- or N/A for the timelines.
    Is there anyone out there who has idea as to what I'm doing wrong? Any help is appreciated, thanks

    I don't think you can dynamic link 5.1 audio. Encore will handle it as pass through, but with dynamic link, there is no compliant file for Encore to use.
    If the Bluray transcode status shows "transcoded," it means that Encore has transcoded it (into stereo). You want to see "do not transcode," but by definition, dynamic link shows "untranscoded."
    You can export the audio only as 5.1 and import that. Encore can handle the video only as dynamic link. But I worry about a very small difference creating sync issues.

  • ERROR: RFx Time always Changing after save edit

    Hi Expert,
    I'am using SRM 7 and ECC 6, and use extended classic scenario.
    When I try to check the time after edit RFx (Submission Deadline,
    Opening Date and Technical RFx Response Opening Date), its always change it self and different with our edit before.
    I don't know why it washappen.
    Need your response...
    Thanks and Regards,

    Check if you have active implementation of BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI which changes the time fields for your RFx (check BBP_PD_BID method).
    If there is no time specific logic in your BADI implementation mentioned above, you might need to apply some notes:
    Note 1469471 - Submission deadline of RFx gets changed with Timezones (this one is for SRM 701, but I believe it also applies to SRM 7 release. You could create an OSS to SAP for them to extend the validity for this note.)
    Note 1559880 - The RFx "End Date" is not displayed in the bidder time zone
    Note 1573014 - Submission Deadline timezone of RFX converted to UTC
    Note 1548529 - End date gets changed when follow on document is changed

  • Folder View Always Changing After Shutdown

    After every shutdown or sometimes randomly, the view of my folders in my harddrive always changes. It goes from the non-toolbar view to the brushed metal toolbar view. All the folders get messed up and its really annoying once you use to them being in the correct place. I ran NAV to find a virus and found nothing. Any ideas why this is happening? Any help... well, helps. Thanks.

  • HT5639 The system time is always changing by about 7 hours

    I am running windows 8 64bit pro upgrade on my mac 27inch i2.7GHz. The system time is always changing by about 7 hours, I reset it by clicking on internet time update and it is OK until the next sync or if I restart then it goes back to being out by the 7 hours. Timezone setting are correct and language setting are all pointing to the correct zone/area. I have the latest bootcamp drivers installed too. Any help to get this fixed will really help as it is making my emails very hard to follow when I have noticed the change..
    Thanks

    I used the "Registry Fix" method in this article to fix it in Win7/64 on my BootCamp partition. Worked perfectly.
    http://prasys.info/2010/01/fixing-time-sync-issue-with-osxwindows/
    The article was written before Win 8 was supported by Bootcamp but, as the Registry fix is handled entirely within Win OS, it may work with Win 8.

  • After ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

    after ios 5 the ipod that changed to music shows all my songs but they are greyed out and will not play

    did uncheck all music and resynced afterwards. Got all my music back on the phone. Next morning, the phone had greyed out 1/3 of the songs all by itself. Seems to have something to do with syncing over wifi. No solution yet other than resyncing all my playlists one by one,
    Combined with a battery that drained 5% every 5 minute before I reset the network settings, I am not impressed with Apple's premature launch of their new os. This is what beta testing is for, folks. The iPhone should be done with the growing pains. Shame.

  • Track inaccessible on iPod after changing "Media Kind" to "podcast"

    I had downloaded some mp3 of an NPR piece, which was on my 5th generation iPod Nano as a music track. In iTunes, under "Music" under my iPod, I clicked "Get Info" on the track, went to the options tab, and changed the "Media Kind" to "Podcast". The track immediately disappeared. I now have no way to access it! It's not listed under Music or under Podcasts, either through iTunes or on the iPod itself after I eject it.
    I thought maybe the file was somehow deleted off the iPod. I decided to test this by first noting the capacity that iTunes shows for my iPod -- 7.12 GB audio, 145.7 MB other, 91.1 MB free. Then I picked an MPEG song file that I didn't particularly care about on my iPod, and changed the "Media Kind" from "Music" to "Podcast". Again, it disappeared. The capacity numbers didn't change.
    This seems really bad: my iPod is now burdened with at least two sound files that I cannot access, even to delete!
    I am using "manually manage music and videos" on this iPod and I would really like to avoid wiping the iPod of the exact set of songs I like on it!

    I'm having the exact same problem.
    Latest software on all devices (Mac).
    Help!
