Ipod freezing in the middle of songs, have to wait until the battery dies.

Help me, my ipod freezes in the middle of songs and i have to wait until the battery goes out until i can do anything with it. And the harddrive has started to click and it sounds like a fan that starts spinning after two clicks. What should i do ?
Pc Windows XP Ipod 5th generation

you know what its funny because my ipod just did this last weekend. its been freezing on and off for the last couple of months. I have had it for a year and a half. It would freeze and i would try and do the whole thing where you hold down menu and select and that worked for awhile, but then suddenly last weekend it froze and it started making a weird clicking sound too. i got ****** and just left it at home for the weekend. when i got back home the battery was dead of course and i just plugged it into the charger and it turned on again. im guessing that sometimes you just have to leave it alone. when it made that clicking noise, it wouldnt do anything. you just have to let the battery die and then recharge it.

I am trying to authorise my new macbook air and it won't let me. I try to de-authorise all the other computers and it says I can only do this once a year and have to wait until the 7th Feb. It does not give me an option to authorise this computer

Always remember to 'de-authorize' you computer when selling or sending for service. If sending for repairs you might not get the same mother board or HD back and some how this counts as an authorized computer against your count.

How to have DDL "wait" until the lock is free in 10g

I saw this for 11g: http://www.scribd.com/doc/247954/Oracle-11g-DDL-Wait-Option-feature
Moving to 11g is not an option. I have code that does partition maintenance (adds a new partition and drops an old one) at night. However, sql loader may be running and the table may be locked. This happened already. Is there anyway to get my code to wait until the lock is released?

The is no DDL option on the partition operations that I know of to tell the DDL to wait if it cannot get a lock. You will have to implement a procedural fix such as updating a row with a value to indicate the sqlldr job is running or if the sqlldr task is controled via a external table take a user lock then execute the partition operations via stored code that checks the user lock first.

Had desktop Mac Pro set up with recent operating system there is a message that say setting up your Mac on the screen do I have to wait for the this process to complete or is there a way out of this screen?

I took all of my devices in to the apple store in ridge hill in Yonkers, the rep helped me set up the new operating system on all my
Devices from my phone to my desk top tower at home. I powered up my desk top this morning and a message came up saying that
The system did not recognize a program that was not compatible with the new operating system and it went right into "Setting up your Mac"
Mode. Do I have to wait for the setup or is there a way to by pass this process?

I think maybe wait for a bit. Usually, on startup and installing the new OS, the assumption is that the user might not know too much, and that compatibility must be checked, which may be helpful, or not. For now, I'd say ignore it, wait until it's done its thing, then update the program that's not compatible. If you can, Mr. Brown, find out which one isn't "making nice" with Mavericks. Hopefully it'll give you a name

ITouch has a black screen as if it's off but when plugged into the computer it says it's on. I have to wait until the battery dies to charge it and turn it back on.

I've tried restarting it. When the battery finally dies and I get to turn it back on, it works for a while until it freezes, then I click the power button to put it on standby and then the screen won't turn back on but the computer says it's still on. However, the computer won't detect the device.

When this happens hold the HOME and SLEEP button at the same time for about 10 seconds until an Apple logo appears. If that works we still need to find out why it is locking up.

Do I have to wait until the battery is completely empty until recharging?

Must the battery from my iPad 4 be completely empty before recharging ?

No, it is quite fine to charge at any time, for any amount. The Lithium based battery used in iDevices do not like to be depleted to low levels.

When ejecting - do i have to wait for the bar to go fully right?

Silly question?
When i eject my ipod - from either a mac or pc, the computer seems to think it is ejected before the ipod does. IS it safe to unplug once the the screen says it is ejecting, or doI have to wait until the progress bar goes all the way right.
thanks

Yes. You should wait until both the iPod and computer have finished ejecting properly. They didn't put that progress bar on there for no reason. (I don't mean that in a rude way ) Thankfully, it only takes a few more seconds for the iPod to completely eject.
Hope this helps.

Bluetooth connected phone call waits until the person answers to connect through speakers! How to change this.

When placing a bluetooth call the car shows that the phone is connected but there is no ringing (it is still ringing in the phone speaker). Then the person answers and it plays through the car speaker, but misses the first word. What is happening? I used to hear the phone ringing. Now it waits until the person answers.

This occurred when I updated the IOS to 8 and switched to an iphone 6 from a 5.
I read both articles and did not find a solution to my dilemma. To clarify further:
When hooked up through bluetooth to my 2011 Honda Accord
- incoming calls will ring the phone through the speakers and I can answer and speak through the speakers/car microphone by touching a switch on my steering wheel
- outgoing calls that I initiate by touching the phone number on the phone will ring in the phone until the person picks up, it then switches to the car speakers (unfortunately, the hand-off results in missing a word or two that the answering person has said). This did not work this way with my iphone 5 and ios 7.
I hope this is better communicated and there is an answer.
Thanks.

My iPod keeps freezing during the middle of songs etc.?

My iPod keeps freezing in the middle of songs and even when i plug it into the computer to charge. I've tried to restore it but iTunes rejects it, saying that it has an error. what can I do?

I have an Ipod touch. Recently it has started stopping in the middle of the songs. Sometimes it stops completely and sometimes it goes to the next song.
All the songs is it stopping on are recent purchases from Itunes. A couple of the songs stopped midway while playing them on Itunes. I did unsync the new songs and then added them again.
I tried the reset mentioned above, but it didn't help.
I have over 3000 songs, I'd like to avoid unsyncing and resyncing if at all possible.
the restore to factory defaults removes all the updates, doesn't it?
I'd appreciate any help.

IPod shuts down in the middle of songs

I am on my second iPod touch due to this problem and I'm getting very frustrated.
I can either be on the internet, listening to a song, or scrolling through albums and the iPod will freeze for a second and go back to the main screen. This has been starting to happen a lot lately. For instance, on my half hour drive home from work it shut off 5 times in the middle of songs when I am not even touching it.
The battery is charged and I have the latest software on it.
Please help me...

+1. This happens occasionally for me. Been going on for a while both on iPhone 3G and 4.

Ipod nano shuts off in the middle of songs

Received a 6th generation ipod nano for Christmas, and it frequently stops playing in the middle of songs and shuts down. Anyone have any ideas? Battery power is not the issue as it has happened with the battery at nearly full charge, and also with it at less than half charge. I can usually turn it back on again, but sometimes it is more difficult. Headphones are fully plugged in so that is not the issue. Is the device defective?

If you are positive the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones are flush with the Nano, also check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.
Otherwise, bring it in for service as it may be a hardware malfunction with the headphone jack.

IPod Color (4th Generation) Stops Playing in the Middle of Songs

Okay, maybe I'm looking for an excuse to get a new iPod. I really don't want to, but my two and half year old iPod Color (4th generation) is starting to act funky.
Starting yesterday, for no reason in the middle of songs it goes into pause mode on its own. The display is still on, the song it was playing is still listed. It's just like I pushed the pause button, but the iPod did it on its own without me touching it. I wasn't running or shaking it and I've done a hard reset. But, it still does it on purchased songs and imported songs. Battery is fully charged. It's driving me nuts.
Anyone have this problem? A solution?

I have the same iPod and the same problem. And it's getting worse. Also, I've noticed that at least one album in particular seems to "crash" it or whatever this is. However, that crashing happens at different times with different songs on that album. The only consistency is that that album at some point crashes it. Other crashes appear to be random.
It normally only requires that I toggle the locking switch and then hold down the center button and the menu button simultaneously for a few seconds (5? 10? I forget, but it's thereabouts.) Usually it then works, but sometimes it thinks its fully charged battery is dead and shuts down. Then I plug it in for a bit and it's all fine.
Sometimes in iTunes after one of these episodes iTunes tells me it is corrupted and I need to reset it and reimport all my music. I think it's lying to me when this happens but I do it anyway.
Most recently this crash thing happened again and the holding-buttons-down trick worked to shut it off but then it wouldn't turn back on. The dark Apple logo at start-up would appear then it would give me an icon of an iPod with a sad face, a triangle sign with an exclamation mark and the url for the iPod support site. Then shut down. Most troubling with this episode is that when I plugged it into my computer, iTunes would no longer recognize that it was there nor would Finder.
But, I just fixed it by trying the bang the top corner hard on the table (seriously, it works). And that did the trick.
Mostly I figure it is slowly dying and it won't be long until none of these tricks work anymore. So I relish every moment with it and secretly hope it does die soon so I have an excuse to get a newer, fancier one.

On my iPod touch, in my music library, I have 2 tracks of the same song on a few of the albums. How do I delete the second track of the song?

I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
any suggestions on how to fix?

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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
