Ipod is not doing anything
Okay so I'll tell you my situation. I just got my new iPod, it is the fifth generation 80GB. Well the day that it came in I connected it to my computer and then the iTunes came up and was talking about registering it, which I then clicked "Later" because I wasn't sure if I was going to put my iPod on the computer. While this was happening iTunes placed all the songs in the Library to my iPod. Well the next day I plug it into the computer because my other one was not up-to-date and all that has happened is my iPod won't turn on and it isn't being recognized by both my computer and iTunes. Now earlier this morning it was recognized by both so I tried restoring it but it came up with an error because of an unknown cause and now it is back to doing nothing and not even being able to turn on. I deleted my iTunes about four times and re-downloaded it about five times. I followed the five R's thing, I've used all four usb ports, and I've spent the last few hours on the computer looking for some sort of help. So can anyone help me? I'm not too sure on what kind of computer I have because I didn't buy it, but I do know that it is an eMachine, it contains a Windows XP, and the intel sticker says "celeron".
Re-read your setup manual.
Make sure your battery has sufficent charge!
Try to connect your IPOD to a secure USB port like your computer.
If your running Windows XP operating system try this in the following steps.
Note: If you dont know what Operating System your using; it may be best to seek help first with the following:
Using your Window XP program to: Do ADD/REMOVE ITunes software program.
Note: (ITunes Version 6 is not compatible with the new 5th Gen IPOD 2006-09.)
Then do Windows Update; get all the recent updates.
Download Windows ITunes Version 7.0 or higher.
Restart Computer: and run ITunes program alone.
Toggle the IPOD Hold Button On and Off.
Do IPOD Manual Reset by selecting:
Menu and Center button simultaneously, for about 6 seconds.
You may have to do this several times.
Re-try IPOD connection to ITunes.

And on iTunes, it says "The iPod cannot be sycned. THe required folder cannot be found".
What do I do now?heres a screen shot, is there a file missing?

Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone Not Doing Anything
I have a ton of TV Shows that I ripped from my DVDs using Handbrake and put into iTunes. When I was ripping the videos, I chose to use the Apple TV preset since that is what I am mainly using to view the episodes. However, I have found that files created with this preset are not playable on the iPhone. I tried using iTunes' "Covert for iPhone" feature, and the file looks like it is getting converted, the progress bar goes all the way and the little success sound is played, but the file is still unable to be synced to my iPhone.
Has this happened to anyone else that was able to find a solution? The only thing I can think of is to rerip all the episodes using a preset that is playable on the iPhone, but that would be a real pain since I have about 600gb of video files to rerip...Thanks for the reply, but iTunes did not create a new file. I looked in Movies and in TV Shows, and in Music just to be careful, but there is still only one file, the one that doesn't play on my iPhone. I even looked in my iTunes Music folder for a file it may have created an just not imported, but there is nothing there either.

! just got a new docking system so i plugged it in to my computer because it wasnt the wall charge type, so I put in my ipod, then straight away my screen went white and now its not doing anything! i press the home and lock button nothing happens... then i plug it in my computer it doesnt come up in itunes or even the copmuter. please help i can not live with out my ipod!
Your post is abit confusing, especially on getting those weird messages and emails,( assumed in your Windows machine.)
Most likely you have Restored the iPod using the new Macbook pro, using the same name as that in your Windows machine, hence the duplicate name warning, as it is trying to sync Automatically.
If you are syncing your iPod to both the Mac and Windows, you must set it to Manually Manage Music, in the first machine that you setup iTunes with the iPod. Read thsi Apple Support Article
In iTunes, Preference, tick on Prevent devices syncing automatically
Hopefully your music are still in both your iTunes library,
Connect the iPod to the Mac
Restore it (just to fix any filesystem corruption by the Windows end)
Set it to Manually Manage Music
Sync your selected songs in your library.
Whern sync complete, Eject it
Connect it to your Windows PC.
Select the song in the library
Sync it.
It should work if your ipod Hardisk is not giving any problem.
Good luck! -

I tried to burn a DVD using iDVD after upgrading to Maverick, first time I tried after upgrading to Maverick a few weeks ago. It seems to get stuck at encoding menu stage and not doing anything. Does anyone else have the same problem?
I did not have a DVD handy to burn but I have just created a small 2 minute video and created a Disk Image and also a VIDEO_TS folder, the encoding worked correctly, so it works with some items.
You may get a better responce in the iDVD forum.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY. -
Redirect rule not doing anything
Note that the email account the the follwing applies to is a gmail account
I have a rule in Mail that sends all emails from Macworld, Mac-Forums, and MacWeek to a folder (OK, a label in gmail parlance) and flags it "green" (so I can find them easliy and read them later). Problem is the rule is not doing anything. Ideas?Doesn't work for three days, but as soon as I post a message it starts working. #sigh
Actually, restarting the Mail program seemed to fix it. -
i came home and my iphone is now frozzen on the apple screen and it hasnt been doing anything i put it in the charger and its not doing anything how do i get it to work so i can text and call and stuff
I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

I'd like to attach the screen grab of the out of order and randomly DLed selection of Harvard's course, but the forum won't let me attach it even though it is only 456k. Correction, close post and retry and now it lets me. NB how intermittent the DLs are and in no particular order. -
Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. These extra pages resulted from using Autoflow and now we can't seem to get rid of them. Help!
Good morning Old Toad.
I did as you suggested:
1) Booted from install CD.
2) Ran Disk Utilities on internal hard drive--no repairs necessary. For good measure, did the same thing on external drive. Also no repairs necessary.
3) Checked software update--no updates found. About this Mac said I was already running 10.4.7. For good measure, I downloaded the latest and installed it. Since it let me run the install, I'm not sure if I installed something new or reinstalled what I already had.
4) I rebooted from CD, ran disk utilities, ran repair disk--no repairs necessary. Repaired permissions and a lot of permissions repaired.
5) Tried to delete the files and the same old thing happened: kernel panic. The specific message:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102A08): jnl: transaction too big (1587712 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x29f1fb0 bp 0x2801de40)
So there's no change in my status.
I'm trying to delete the files because:
A) They already take .5 Gb.
B) I can't get rid of them ever. If I move the problem files to a different folder, I can only do one successful drag-and-drop backup to the external drive until the "new" thumb segments become unerasable just like the previous versions and crash the system.
C) I can't even "just" drag and drop every file/folder except the thumbs, because that ends up crashing the system as well. So I have to drag and drop every file/folder in the iPhoto hierarchy individually. Which makes me less inclined to backup, which defeats the purpose of a backup.
D) After the iPhoto fiasco I'm just crabby about all the Apple screw-ups I'm experiencing and I want to get them fixed.
Thanks for your help. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm having problems with Siri on my iPhone 6. It worked briefly yesterday and now its not doing anything. I have turned phone off and on and made sure everything is on in settings. Please help!
Do you have an active data connection (wifi or cellular)? Have you tried resetting the phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the apple appears (this is different than just turning it off and back on).

I updated my iphone to the new version and now it tells me to connect to itunes which I did and it's not doing anything else, what do I need to do?
Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

My network symbol keeps working on my home page even when I'm not doing anything, I know there has been problems in the past with this so has it come back, help it's killing my battery!
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
I am trying to use the "This solved my question - 10 points" an the "This helped me - 5 points" but they are NOT doing anything. How do I award the points ?
Are you talking about the "Legend" panel at the right of the window?
Those text are just help texts explaining the reputation points. You can only award points, if you are the original poster of a question. Then you will see active buttons to award points below the answers you receive. See here for more information: https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/reputation.html
