IPod hard drive continuously cycles and drains the battery...

I have a 60G; version 1.3 iPod.
This is not an "every song, every podcast" situation, but I've noticed during certain songs/podcasts the iPod gets "stuck".
The song will continue to play (although on occasion the iPod will crapout), but functionality is very slow to respond (i.e., pause, ff, rewind, etc.)
I also notice that while the hard drive is cycling, the battery drains at an alarming rate.
Please advise, thank you!

Delete and re-download the Dropbox app. You will have to sign in again and adjust app settings.

My blackberry restarts itself and drains the battery

My blackberry restarts itself and drains the battery and I was wondering if there was a way to fix it without having to wipe the memory of my blackberry to do so?

Try taking the media card out and see if the restarting itself ceases.

Try this blog. There is some good information provided by a former Apple employee.

My IPhone used to be synced to my computer. A new hard drive was installed and now the phone says it's syncing, then a message appears saying the next time my computer is available is will sync. I've followed the instructions and no success.

My hard drive burned up and had to be replaced. When I tried to sync my IPhone after my computer repair, the phone says it's syncing and the icons spin, but nothing happens. In a few seconds a message appears saying it will sync the next time my computer is available. I have gone through the instructions and procedures for syncing four times and can not get the thing to sync. Apparently the phone hasn't synced in a long time. What do I do to sync my phone again?

jrmetzger,
iOS runs on iPads and iPhones; OS X runs on Macs.
Given your situation, I’d highly recommended that you purchase a SATA-to-USB adapter, so that you can test both your old disk and your new disk externally, since it might be that the problem is due to a faulty internal SATA cable rather than due to faulty disks.

MacBook Pro sometimes stays on after shut-down and drains the battery.

Sometimes my MacBook Pro stays on after I shut it down and it drains the battery until it dies. I return home to find it the clocks and everything have to be reset. It appears to be shut-down after I select that command, but on occasion it will remain on in a semi-on state and i need to force quit it w/ the power button. It usually shuts down ok, but this happens every once in a while and I have to continually double-check that it's off before leaving it. Otherwise, I will come back and the battery will be very warm and the machine is running, but not really on. Any ideas?

Problem solved by my own. But do not how :) magsafe again working and the laptop tooo

My iPad will not power down. It automatically restarts and drains the battery because it is on all the time.

My IPad will not power down and stay off. It powers down and then restarts after a few seconds. Since it is on all of the time, it drains the battery between uses.

Then I think it is time to take to an Apple store to be checked. Make an appointment at your closest store. You can keep it plugged in to maintain the battery until you get it checked.

Help!! Managed to erase a new second hard drive I added and now the system won't boot up

I can't believe it!! Having un-successfully tried to add a 2nd 2Tb HD, which wouldn't identify itself properly or erase. I took a HD out of one of my PCs and tried again. This time the hard drive was identified correctly and using disk utility I erased it and formatted it successfully. I then shut down, restarted and all I got was an initial white screen and then a black one with a flashing cursor. What have I done wrong...? How can i get the OS to start properly?

Hold down the Alt/Option key while you restart.
This invokes the All-in-ROM Startup Manager, which very slowly inspects each drive and draws an Icon for each potentially-bootable Volume.
If it finds one, select it and click proceed arrow.
If not you will need to boot fron your Installer/Utilities DVD and use Disk Utility from there to look around.
¿Is there a possibility a new drive is messing up the SATA Bus and precluding booting?

Help-My windows computer hard drive is ruined and need the music on mac

My dell computer recently crashed and the hard dirve is ruined and all data is lost. I have purchased a new 24in imac and the new ipod nano as well. However, because the music on my dell is gone, the only place i have all of the music is on my windows formatted, first generation nano. I haven't been able to figure out how to move my music from that nano to my new imac. Please help me out, it would be a shame for me to lose all my music, because I don't have it backed up. Thanks Alot.

You can't sync or drag your non iTMS music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are also a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you are happy with.

PodWorks Mac Only

There is a new function in iTunes 7 under File, "Transfer Purchases from iPod" which transfers iTMS purchases. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

Just downloaded last update for my iPhone5 and drained the battery to zero overnight. I will never update again.

What the heck goes on with updates? Fixes bugs? hah. Drained the battety overnight to less than a red line. I had turned everything 'off' last time after 'updating' to the point where the **** thing is useless,

I just did it again (another hard reset) and presto, I got about an additional 5-7% in charge. I guess if I keep rebooting my iPad Air every 20 minutes or so, I'll never run out charge!

Overheated and drained the battery

One day my Q10 became very hot at the top and very quickly depleted the battery. I was reluctant to try to recharge it. I had gotten it on Amazon.com. It was a new in-the-box AT&T phone. There was no online support at Blackberry for it because it did not recognize the pin. I took it to AT&T, but they did not have a battery for it or know if it had a hardware or battery problem. They did not take it in as one of their own but instead sold me a new Classic and suggested I contact Blackberry directly for 1 year warranty assistance. Amazon only covers the first 30 days. The phone was bought at the end of October, 2014. That is why I'm here, since it appears impossible to get through to Blackberry support otherwise. If anyone at Blackberry is reading this, please help or give me the magic support ticket number needed.

If you purchased from Amazon you can try filling this form out. They do verify if the device was sold through Amazon and not another reseller on Amazon, though.

Hi Guys,

I am 100% sure that my phone is on sleep mode and on home screen. Anyone has this kind of experience? I also having unresponsive issue, phone goes dead, cannt touch any buttons, need to hard reset at least 3 times a day. All this issues appear after 3.1 upgrade. I m with Aus Optus and my phone never been jailbroken.

Not exactly. You need a new battery. Apple will replace for about $100

External hard drive gone wrong and copied everything to Imac HDD filling it completely

I have had my iMac backed up to an external hard drive for years and randomly the External hard drive is now not readable and it has seemed to copy everything to my imac hard drive filling it completely.
any ideas how to firstly fix the external drive without losing everything on there and second why it would have copied everything to the Imac?
I cant even do a restore from a back up as its all backed up to external drive and its saying its not readable.

If they're still in two folders (iTunes app and Music) on your external, can you not just copy those two back to the internal drive and expect it to work properly again? It's my understanding that music you wish to be active in iTunes must be on your internal drive.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
Help!

No backup is a huge mistake.
