IPod pauses when I turn it upside-down.

I was wondering if my iPod is heading downhill, or is this kind of thing common. When it is playing music on my desk (right side up), and i turn it upside down to look at the back, it pauses. Anyone know about this?

Hate to ask the obvious but I just have to.
Your finger is not on the pause, is it?

Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

How is the iPod connected to your car stereo?, (via earphone jack or iPod dock connector)
By "pause" you mean that now it is playing thru your car stereo, while previously, it stopped playing thru your car stereo, when you switch off the ignition?
Anyway, I don't think it is an iPod problem, but you can try the
iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Then release the buttons

This reset wont delete any of your songs, just put all the settings back to when you first took it out of the box.

Thankyouuu
it looks like that when it is locked and when its unlocked it looks like this

Have you checked the volume button? It might be physically stuck. To determine whether a hardware repair is needed, you need to follow these steps:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: test the device to see whether the issue is solved.
2. If the issue is not solved, you should backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup.
If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

Hi, Just bought an ipod classic 160gb and i notice that when I turn the volume down all the way, music is still heard, i.e. I cannot turn it down lower than a certain volume. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

PowerBook wont turn on unless I turn it upside down!!!

Ahhhh ok this is annoying!! My powerbook wont work unless I turn it upside down!! When it is right side up..I turn it on and it just comes up with a blank screen. However, if I turn it upside down it works just fine! Once its working ok upside down, I turn it right side up again and it freezes!!!! Any suggestions?? You think something might be loose inside?

I recently had the same problem. It turned out to be my hard drive was in the process of going down the tubes. It had also started making some strange noises. I would definitely back everything up and get it checked out.

The icon on the display when i turn up or down or off the sound it doesn't show up

I don't know if this is the right topic for my problem...
I have a pavilion dv6-3299en Rossignol. I uninstalled some extra features and then i had a very small problem.
It;s not much but I'd like it to be solved.
When i turn up or down the sound or turn it off by pressing the buttons, there was an icon, an image with the level of the sound that used to appear, now it doesn't.
Same thing when the sound is off, it doesn't show any more an image with a red line... I hope you understand what i'm talking about.
With mousepad no problem, when i doubleclick the up and left corner, an image appears which shows a red line over it when it's offor nothing when it's on.
Hope you can help me. It's nothing important but it's usefull.

Hi Konstantina,
That could well be the problem; try the following.
Download and install HP MediaSmart Music on the link below.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp51001-51500/sp51027.exe
When the installation has completed, restart the notebook and then re-install HP MediaSmart SmartMenu again.
HP MediaSmart SmartMenu
Again, after this installation, restart the notebook and see if the volume OSD has re-appeared.

Turn video upside down?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to turn video upside down?
The video was shot on a portable device (mp4 format) whilst the device was wrong way around, making the image upside down, and I want to keep this particular video.
If this is possible, I'd really appreciate knowing the application that does it.
Many thanks in advance for advice.

I use Quicktime Pro to rotate movies that I capture with an upside-down recorder. Here are some instructions I found:

i turned off my ipod and when i turned it on the next day all the app icons were clear/gray what should i do?

Perform a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherise if that doesn't work, try restoring your iPod Touch from a backup via iTunes. See this article for help on restoring your iPod from a backup.

Turn everything upside down for April Fool's?

Hi everyone.
I work at a project with a continuous build system, so anything I check in will be built and seen by project leaders and such within an hour. I'm trying to think of a good April Fool's joke.
I think the ripest ground might be the Swing rendering of the program. I don't imagine there's an easy way to turn everything upside down, is there? Maybe I could over ride the paint() method of the JFrame everything is in and flip the co-ordinate system? I'm thinking even if that were possible it probably won't trickle down to the other components...
Any thoughts of some big, obvious, silly change, that wouldn't require too much time-wasting?
Thanks!
Sam

Ok, I did it, and appear not to have lost my job. Thanks everyone!
The only problem was that no one saw it... except the CEO! Yes, the CEO occasionally work with head versions of our code... He figured he was infected with the conficker worm... The programmer he was IMing with hadn't seen it (update your code!), so the CEO made a short movie: http://www.concord.org/~cdorsey/Upside-down-OTrunk.mov. At that point people started to work it out.
As you can see, the panel didn't paint all the way -- that launch does some extra resizing that I hadn't considered and appears to mess things up a little. Oh well. sigh
Thanks again! Below is the code I used:
// We have a class that extends JFrame, but this could easily have been added to any generic JFrame
public class MyMainFrame extends JFrame{
public void init(){
       long currTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
         if (currTime > 1238598000000l && currTime < 1238610600000l){ // April fool's!
             JPanel glassPane = new JPanel();
              glassPane.setOpaque(false);
              UpsidedownPanel upsideDown = new UpsidedownPanel(new BorderLayout());
              upsideDown.add( getContentPane() );
              setContentPane( upsideDown );
              setGlassPane( glassPane );
              glassPane.setVisible( true );
              glassPane.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
                   public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
                     MyMainFrame.this.getGlassPane().setVisible(false);
                     ((UpsidedownPanel)MyMainFrame.this.getContentPane()).upsidedown(false);
class UpsidedownPanel extends JPanel{
         public UpsidedownPanel(LayoutManager manager){
              super(manager);
         private boolean upsidedown = true;
         public void upsidedown(boolean upsidedown){
              this.upsidedown = upsidedown;
              repaint();
         public void paintChildren(Graphics g)
              if (upsidedown){
                   int cWidth = getSize().width / 2;
                   int cHeight = getSize().height / 2;
                   Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
                   g2d.translate(cWidth, cHeight);
                   g2d.rotate( Math.toRadians( 180 ) );
                   g2d.translate(-cWidth, -cHeight);
                   super.paintChildren(g2d);
              } else {

I have an ipod that when you turn it on all you get is a lit up white blank screen what do i do

i have an ipod touch when you turn it on the screen just lites up white with no words or anything what do i do

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I restored and updated my iPod, but when I turned it on, it still says connect to iTunes

My brother just got an ipod for Christmas, and we told him not to put a passcode on it because he would forget... but he did it anyways and he did forget! He ended up disabling it trying to unlock it. It said ''Connect to iTunes." When I connected to iTunes, it said it was disabled and needed the passcode to do whatever, but I held the top button and the home button down for ten seconds to Restart it because we don't know the passcode! It said to Restore and Update, so I did that. Now it's in Recovery mode... and I can't get past that part! I thought I had done it right, but when it turns back on, it still says connect to iTunes! Help??

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

IOS5 Turns Apps Upside down.

When Invoking any App (e.g. calendar,Notes, Safari etc) the app will turn upside down with respect to the home button. This looks to be a very annoying bug. Is there a setting to adjust this?

Double tap the Home button and swipe right on the task bar with recent apps that appears. Tap on the lock rotation buttion to unlock it. Alternatively, if you have the Mute button configured as the rotation lock, press it.
Have a nice day.
