Thank you for trying to help. I followed your instructions, it took 6 hours to download, and then said it could not solve the problem (something to do with error 9?). It will have to go back to Apple - its only 3 days since it came out of the package and its very disappointing for him. Looks like I have to hang around in the Apple store in Plymouth all tomorrow until they can fix it, or will change it. Thanks for your help.

Satellite P200 keeps locking up with a blank screen

I have P200D-127 which keeps locking up with a blank screen quite regularly - its only 3 weeks old!
Loathed to take it back to staples as its taken so long to get going again after previous laptop died.
Anyone experienced this too?

I also (coincidence?) bought a p200 Toshiba from Staples in October this year, and also have exactly the same problem.
To answer the question above, there is no pattern to when the screen goes blank and lock up - it happens randomly whether I am using the machine or not.
I too am loathe to return it, as I've read that they will just take your machine away and you lose the computer for a long time, when I need it for my work.
I am not a computer expert, so it is difficult to describe the problem much more than this, but of course it is extremely problematic if you are in the middle of important work when the machine locks up.
I've read about updating BIOS, but many forums have said that this didn't solve this problem!
My other thought is that I need to take off VISTA as it seems this is the route of the problem - never had this with any machine before VISTA...grrrr.
Anybody actually know how to solve this? I find it a bit ridiculous to spend a large chunk of money updating my laptop to find it virtually unusable!

My ipod comes up with a green screen when i turn it on. I did once eject it safely like a flash drive instead of through itunes. What exactly is wrong with it and can it be fixed?

If you have AppleCare and/or iPod Nano is still under warranty, give them a call. If not, take the computer to your local Apple Store or AASP. The staff will tell you what is wrong w/it and let you know if it can be fixed after it is examined.

How do I turn off the tiny Shuffle-sized iPod Nano (v6 with a touch screen) when not using its iOS?

Hello and happy new year.
I decided to use this used iPod Nano (touch screen) as an eight/8 GB flash disk/storage (FAT32). I can access the files just fine. I can always restore it back to use iOS quickly and easily if needed.
However, it never seems to turn off/sleep. I tried holding down the big button on top right (next to the two volume controls [+ and -]), but it never does anything. Also, it says "OK to disconnect." when disconnected.
So, I restored its iOS v1.2 from an old 15" MacBook Pro (2008; Mac OS X 10.5.8) onto it and can turn off easily. However, I cannot access its drive since it is not a MS FS and Windows XP Pro. SP3 asked me to format. How can I turn it off and still use it as an 8 GB USB flash disk/drive without installing and using iTunes?
Thank you in advance.

Hey,
Holding in the play/pause and the menu (select) button will force the iPod into disk mode. This is the stand by mode you are talking about.
To turn your iPod off properly you will want to hold down the play/pause button until the screen goes blank and then turn the hold switch on. This is cause the iPod to go to the Apple screen when it turns back on.
Hope this helps,
Ms D.

Locked up With a Blue Screen

My G3 600 mhz locks up every time I turn it on. It boots to a grey screen with a folder in the middle. The mouse and keyboard cause no effect. I put in the boot cd and hold 'c' down but nothing still boots to the grey screen.
This all started when we lost power and the imac just shut off. When power returned it would never boot again. Fussy machines, I may go back to pc.

"This all started when we lost power and the imac just shut off. When power returned it would never boot again. Fussy machines, I may go back to pc."
Welcome to the Intel-based iMac Discussions!
wow, I didn't realize that pc's don't shut off when power is lost. I wonder what giant scientific leap enables that, or are they powerless?

No you need some special protection but there are afew options
1) Buy a replecement apple will give you half off on a new one if you give them the old one
2) check the receipt and if its under a year old call the store you got it at (if you got it at an apple store you can try but dont get your hopes up)
3) buy a replacement sceen kit they come with the screen and the tools to extract the old

IPod locks up with 1.2,... and how I got out of it.

As discussed on this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=637616&tstart=0
...Some people are experiencing an apparent lock-up, where as the "Do No Disconnect" screen just keep on flashing. Knowing this. I went ahead and updated mine,...
It locked. No problem, checked what was tried, didn't feel like restoring/reinstalling everything. How I got out of it:
A) iPod stays connected no matter what.
B) Tried to restart iTunes, nothing ("Do No Disconnect" screen still on)
C) Restarted computer without disconnecting iPod
D) iPod now appears on desktop, but "Do No Disconnect" screen still on
E) iTunes fires up. iPod shows up, but, still, the "Do No Disconnect" screen still flashes.
F) Selected the iPod, then clicked on the "eject" button bottom right
G) iPod blinks out... and the "Do No Disconnect" screen goes away! =D
H) Disconnected the iPod
I) iPod now responds as before
Hope this helps ^-^

I have a similar problem. I solved the problem as you did, but clicking the eject button. However, it seems that I have to do this nearly every time. If I plug it in, it will sync and finish. "Do not disconnect" goes away OK. However, if I choose 'sync' from the file menu, it will sync and then not clear when finished. I have to manually eject.

IPod locks up with video on the TV

I have a 80gb 5g ipod and i'm watching a movie on the TV from the iPod. If I try to stop the movie or it comes to the end, sometimes it LOCKS the iPod up and can't unlock it. 1st time I had to wait til the battery ran out. The 2nd time I took everything back to the store and they gave me a new iPod and Dock, but it did it again at the end of a movie. This time I did unlock it by doing the "press center button and then Meneu" This iPod, I didn't update the ipod software when asked. Any idea what's going on anyone?

If your having problems playing back one movie> then it could be a bad file> if so try getting another movie downloaded.
otherwise it doesn't hurt to get all the most recent ITunes, IPOD firmware and Windows Updates installed.

I need help my ipod is unresponsive with a black screen and non working buttons

Help

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

My ipod is unresponsive, with a white screen that won't go away?

My ipod was working fine and then within an hour or so it froze and turned to a blank white and hasn't gone away since. Please help me solve this problem.

Let the batttey fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
The try a restore if necessary.

Do a hard reset, put it in DFU Mode and do a manual install, as outlined in the link below.

Is the iPad charged? Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.
