Ipod doesn't respond to any keys or turn off.

Hi,
I have a 30g Ipod vedio. While upldating the library in the manual mode, I got a a message in Itunes that my Ipod is corrupted and needs to be restored. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my ipod, since then my ipod is not resonding to any keys, and I can't turn it off or on. It has a "do not disconnect" message on it's screen, even when it is disconnected. And my computer doesn;t recognize the USB device anymore when I connect it.
Even when I connect my ipod to a power adapter it does not come to the menu screen.
I have exausted all possible options that I know of, to set it right. Any help on this would be much appreciated/

Before you get too deep into this issue, are you sure that your "hold" switch isn't on?
The "hold" switch is located on the top of your iPod. The On position should be orange-colored, and the Off position is a grey-colored area.
Are you able to reset your iPod? Press and hold the "Menu" and center buttons together for about 7 seconds.
If you can't reset it, try connecting it to another power source (like a portable power adaptor), and instantly disconnect it after a few seconds. This may hopefully break it out of "Do Not Disconnect".
I hope that helps your issue.

My I Mac not responding to any keys, Except Option, on start-up

My I Mac, at work, not responding to any keys, Except Option, on start-up.
While pressing option key, it asks for password. Nobody knows how it came there. The acceptable password at boot disk selection manager is a domain user login password and the user doesn't have permission to change any system preferences.
We are unable to find the DVD at boot disk selection to boot from the Disc. also none of the startup shorcuts are working.

After using the right mouseclick safari doesn't respond to any mouseclick

Hi since updating to safari 5.1.1 after using the right mouse click safari doesn't respond to any mouseclick anymore. I can use the keyboard and select menus but that is it. Reinstalled Safari, resetted safari and removed all preferences, caches and disabled all extensions etc. nothing helped. Any suggestions here?
Im using snow leopard, on a dual core mac Intel xeon desktop.

Solved it finally after a long time.. I was triggered that another user on the same system did not have the problem I scanned my user library folder: The problem was an old safari extender plugin in my Contextual Menu Items folder. After removal all is working again :-)

Whilst working on iMovie my screen has frozen. Cannot use any menus or dock icons. Tried turning off but asks am I sure. If I press shut down button it doesn't respond. Any ideas?

Cannot use any menus or dock icons. Tried turning off computer but message appeared asking 'am I sure'. If I press shut down button it doesn't respond. Any ideas? I was dropping multiple clips into my movie/project when it happened. It has been frozen for over an hour now. I can't hear the driving doing any work.

Thanks a lot. I had previously held the power button down and up popped the 'are you sure' message whhich provided a shut down button to press but it didn't work. Thanks for you help. I'll have a look in iMovie now to see if I've got any corrupted files. Thanks a lot
Kind regards

I can't select it .. I click on it and nothing happens. The only thing I seem to be able to do is a two fingered click which brings up a context menu for the side bar preferences..but unfortunately this icon does not appear in the list.

HT1460 ipod doesn't respond to pressing dial

lately my ipod doesn't respond to pressing the dial as if to go to the next or previous song, or to back out further to the main menu. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. It's hard to believe the dial has worn out - I've barely used it.

do a reset.. PUSH AND HOLD the menu button and the middle button at the same time for 10 seconds.. it may take a few trys.

IPod doesn't respond to buttons, & backlight is on constantly.

So... my iPod doesn't respond to pressing buttons.
There is a constant glow coming from the screen, but it won't go away with anything I do.
I have tried plugging it into the computer, NOTHING is getting this screen away.
What should I do.

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way". I HATE this!

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to. But NO! Pages keeps changing the font size! I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size! I am getting SO FRUSTRATED! I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter! Can anyone help?

The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

When sharing screen from work with my home computer, is there any way to turn off the display at home?

Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but when I'm viewing my desktop on the home computer from work (as in I've connected by finding my computer in the finder and hit the "Share Screen" button - is there any way to turn off the display at home? It seems a bit of a waste of power to have the screen on when I'm not actually there - I just need to be able to see all my programs etc on the remote screen in order to use them. My home computer is a 2011 iMac running latest Mountain Lion, work is a 2010 MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance!
Matt

I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

Is there any way to turn off keypad sounds when making a phone call?

I am a new user to iphone....is there any way to turn off sounds of keypad when making a manual phone call of someone not in address book?
Thanks

If I understand the question correctly, it is not about turning off keyboard clicks, it's about silencing the beeps made when manually keying in a phone number. With keyboard clicks turned off, the beeps still sound when keying in a phone number. If I'm reading the iPhone User Guide correctly, it explains how to turn off keyboard clicks but not how to silence the beeps when keying in a phone number. The only way I have found to silence the beeps is to put the phone into silent mode.

Is there any way to turn off the "Determining Gapless Playback"

Every time I open Itunes the "Determining Gapless Playback routines starts. I always let this finish and after a while it appears to stop and I only have the Apple logo at the top of Itunes. However, if I close Itunes and restart it the "deteriminig Gapless Playback" routine starts all over again. Isn't there any way to turn off this annoying new feature....

You could try a reboot: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad should restart. If that doesn't get rid of the volume control box on your screen, it's time to make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your Apple Store, and they can send your iPad off for service.

Any way to turn off the coverflow?

I have a 60GB video iPod and I'm looking at the 160GB iPod Classic.
I don't keey ANY album artwork and could care less about it. Is there any way to turn off the album artwork coverflow in the display of the iPod Classic?
It appears that it just slows down the overall responsiveness of the iPod Classic AND it takes up valuable display space that I would rather use for real information.

not currently. tell apple it's a feature you would like: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html (i agree, it is annoying and should be optional)
