IPod Mini plays and all of a sudden it pauses :(

Gentlemen,
I have an iPod Mini. Issue is, that sometimes when I play a song and I am touching the earphones or turn the iPod, it pause the song. It gets boring after a while, cause you gotta push "play" every time. I must admit that the earphones are not from Apple. These are cheap ones.
Big time Thanks in Advance

had the same problem with my IPOD NANO. I finally determined that it is a feature of the IPODS to go into Pause mode if you pull out the headset -- so that it does not keep playing (run down batteries or lose your place in audio books). I finally decided that it was randomly pausing due to the headset. Evidently some units manufacturing tolerance is off a bit and a little motion in the headset jack area makes the unit think you have pulled out the headset. I actually, used a very "soft" emoery board (not real coarse) and filed down the edges of the plastic surrounding the headset jack. I think this enabled the jack to make a more solid connection and have not had a problem since.

Ipod mini wont connect all of a sudden, always has before.

all of a sudden my mini wont connect. It always has worked before, but today when I connected it wouldnt. A window pops up saying "You have inserted a disc containing no volumes MAC OSX can read. and so on. And just doesnt work. i am using the same cord I always have and my ipod is working fine on its own. whats up?
Please, I need help desperately.

I can fix it for all of you
you need to go to
www.google.com
search for ipod linux and download the ipod linux installer
warning the ipod will lose all of the songs on it by doing this fix
use the ipod linux installer tell the installer during the installation that you want to keep the stock ipod operating system on it and the new linux os on it as well
then after install you will notice the ipod will not boot this is no problem ipod linux isn't designed to run off of the ipod mini so when you use it with a ipod mini the mini frezzes on start up
then reset by pressing the play and menu option together
it will reset your ipod and then you will be able to use your ipod once again i had my ipod completly crash
and was able to restore it using this trick but warning after your ipod is reset please use the ipod updater
or you will experiance problems and i do mean problems
this is the trick apple doesn't want you to know about so they can charge you to get your ipod fixed and after posting this it will most likly be deleted
I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong worst thing that happens is you still have to send it into apple
so try your luck and see what happen

All of a sudden my iPod stopped playing and a dark gray Apple logo came up.

I was listening to my iPod nano for about 30 minutes but 20 minutes into playing, it all of a sudden stopped and an Apple logo against a dark gray background popped up. I held down the center and menu button to perform a reset and it has been working fine ever since but I am worried that this might signal a premature death to my iPod.
What caused this? I never fiddled with any menus or buttons while playing my music so it didn't occur by me inputting anything. What does that screen mean? I've had my iPod for 3 months and always listen to it in one hour intervals (since I commute to work in the city) and this never happened before.

Some people have told me something similar a few years ago... they said that they didn't do anything for a few days then their iPods resurrected (lol)... don't know if this can happen to these new iPods too, I haven't experienced this. So you should wait for a few (4-5 days) and if nothing happens then bring it back to the shop.

I have an iPad 2 and all of a sudden I have no sound in game apps. I have usual volume in videos and YouTube, I do get volume for games if I plug in headphones. I have switched to screen lock off and on again and I have also done a reset twice.....help :)

I have an ipad2 and all of a sudden I have stopped getting sound in my game apps. I get normal sound on YouTube and I player and downloaded DVDs. If I plug headphones in then I can get sounds for the games. I have switched the lock screen button off and on again and done a reset twice, can anyone help me with this?

Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Updated my ipad yesterday and today can't connect to the internet by wifi or cellular. Have tried on 2 different wifi routers, one by Verizon and another by Comcast. updated 2 iphone 5S and ipad mini today and all 3 work fine. Any suggestions?

Updated ipad yesterday to 7.0.6 and now can't connect to internet. Tried cellular, Verizon and Comcast. Updated 2 iphone 5S and ipad mini today and all work fine. Any suggestions?

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
If "No," 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 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. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and all of a sudden they wont open and an error message comes up saying they were improperly downloaded or came in an email attach which is not the case

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise

They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8

I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

What I recommend you try doing first is to turn iMessage off then back on. If that doesn't work, make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct. If everything seems correct and you still can't send out messages using iMessage instead of text message, I think you should either try calling AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and/or scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store (that is, if there's one close to you).
Hope this helps!

Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
How can I get rid of this error message?

Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud. However, when i change documents on my mac (documents that are supposed to be in the iCloud), the changes do not sync with my other devices nor with iCloud. Even when i create new documents on my mac and save them to iCloud, all seems okay and i can access them from my mac, however they do not show up in the iCloud and i can't access them with my other devices.

Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
