Ipod instability - pls help solve problem

I've had a click wheel 20gb ipod for nearly 3 years without any problems. Last month I paused it and when I tried to play again it had died. Apple gave me a replacement and about one week later the same happened. Replaced it again and same thing happened again. Now I called the support rather than go to the store directly and was able to revive ipod by doing restore (press menu and center button). The machine died several days but couldn't get any life when tried to restore BUT after 3 days tried to restore the same ipod again and now was able to revive it. But again after 2 days it died.
When I restored it once it showed a triangle icon with battery. Plugged it into power and machine powered up. This last time I have been monitoring the battery icon as I played it and it was not low at all when it died.
At this point, I plan to get another replacement and uninstall my ITunes and reinstall to see it there is any improvement.
I am using a Dell PC with Windows WP home with most recent ITunes 7.115 and Ipod software. I have run antivirus, antispyware, antiadware programs. HELP!
  Windows XP   Dell XPSM140

Resetting it frequently involves spinning the hard disk, which causes the battery to drain very fast.

  • Problems with ipod mini pls. help

    well one day i was charging my mini but wen i took it out of the usb cord and listened to it it says it does not have any songs like everything has been ereased. i tried restoring it but it does not work. also wen i plug it in usb and itunes comes up it says it cannot recognize my ipod.
    any suggestions would be greatly appriciated!!!

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

    And it's always helpful if you state what computer you have as advice is often specific to that.

  • Pls help screwy problem with this code

    Im pretty new to java, and I'm trying to make a MASH program to practice. I cant figure out this error, as it checks out with some examples from a book. Please help!
    When compiling in the command prompt, this is what the errors are:
    cannot resolve symbol
    symbol: class MashBuild
    location: class MashEvent
    MashBuild gui;
    ^
    cannot resolve symbol
    symbol: class MashBuild
    location: class MashEvent
    public MashEvent(MashBuild in) {
    ^
    Here is the code for MashEvent.java -- I also have a class called MashBuild that has the code for the display of the program and all of the JButtons, etc. so I dont see why this shouldn't work
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    public class MashEvent implements ActionListener, Runnable {
         MashBuild gui;
         Thread playing;
         public MashEvent(MashBuild in) {
         gui = in;
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
              String command = event.getActionCommand();
              if (command == "Play")
              startPlaying();
              if (command == "Reset")
              clearAllFields();
         void startPlaying() {
              playing = new Thread(this);
              playing.start();
              gui.play.setEnabled(false);
              gui.reset.setEnabled(true);
         void clearAllFields() {
              for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

              gui.cars[i].setText(null);
              gui.people[i].setText(null);
              gui.kids[i].setText(null);
              gui.houseTR.setText(null);

              while (playing == thisThread) {
              int choice;
              choice = (int)Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
              if (choice != 40) {
                   gui.houseTR.setText(gui.houses[0].value);

    Or more precisely, did you compile MashBuild.java into MashBuild.class...
    It's one of the errors I run into when I forget to compile one of the classes that another class calls...
    - MaxxDmg...
    - ' He who never sleeps... '

  • Pls help solve

                        maxNum++;

                             len++;

                   comboToyName.requestFocus();
                   return;     
              }this code works well if there is at least one entry in the database.
    So, if there is nothing in the database this code returns an error.
    What is the problem with this???
    thank you so much!!!          

    Maybe you could run through the exception that's getting thrown... usually just e.getMessage() or something along those lines will tell you what's wrong, if there's something going wrong during your SQL execution, which would be my first guess.

    I am a new learner to Sun Microsystem's application server.
    Yesterday i start the default server from clicking the icon "start default server" under all programs, it worked fine. But today when i did the same thing, it got problem. it gave the message: CLI156 could not start the domin domin1, check the server log
    I tried to start it from commond line by key in "j2ee -verbose", the system says it cannot recognize the command.
    I have set the J2EE_HOME to the path of j2ee sdk installations, and also set the bin of j2ee sdk installation to the system enviroment PATH. why it still cannot recognize j2ee command?
    i did not do any special things to the application server. the only fault is that i switched off my pc without stop the default server last night.
    how can i start the server again?

    very strange!!!! The server can be started again, however i did not do anything.
    is that the server also has temper sometimes?
