IPod requires hard reset after playing podcast with chapters

I've noticed that I need to do a hard reset (hold down menu and select buttons for a few seconds) after my iPod goes idle after playing a podcast with chapters (the Ricky Gervais show).
Anyone else have this problem?

Can reproduce the problem on a 20GB 4G and 6GB mini
with another podcast series with chapters
(fortunately not many I listen to have caught up with
chaptering).
The odd behaviour I've noticed is that the Ricky
Gervais podcast, for example, only has to be present
on the iPod and never listened to for the iPod/s to
lock up when they go to sleep. A hard reset then
required to bring them back to life until the podcast
has been listened to and the iPod/s then resync'ed
with the mothership to then remove it (and restore
some sanity until the next one).
I did conduct a hard restart of my 10GB iPod with no success. The only workaround solution I've discovered is to use the "Convert Selection to AAC" under the Advance menu in iTunes while selecting the podcast. It converts the podcast to a new AAC file without chapters, and it plays fine on my second gen iPod. But now my library has 2 copies of each podcast, one for iTunes, one for iPod. Anyone else have any luck with the 10GB iPod? I guess it doesn't like the new podcasts with chapters.

IPod cycles hard reset after Texas Hold'em install

I'll send the message to Apple and call as well tomorrow, but thought I would throw this out there to see if anyone has advice - and also as a cautionary note.
I downloaded Texas Hold'em tonight to install onto my 5G Video iPod. I'm running iTunes 7.0.1 (7) and have the latest updater installed.
After playing the game for about ten minutes, my iPod froze. Not such a big deal, I thought. I performed a hard reset and figured it would take care of itself.
Unfortunately, my iPod now cycles through hard resets on its own every 5 seconds or so. The Apple logo appears on the screen, the hard drive spins up, then the iPod immediately shuts down again and restarts, ad infinitum.
I'll reformat it using iTunes, but you can see the problem here - that requires getting the iPod to successfully restart itself. I went through the iPod diagnostics and everything seems to check out okay. I put it in hard disk mode (something I've never done with this particular iPod). I get a black and white graphic of the lightning bolt (don't know if that's normal or not) but the computer will not find the drive when connected.
Wondering if anyone knows of any third party software that might be able to help get the iPod to mount in external HD mode. I just need to get it mounted somehow so that I can reformat it.
Thoughts?

Front Row: Playing Podcasts with chapters is not working correctly

Currently I'm using front row to listen to my podcasts. It works great except the fact that the images of the different chapters in my podcasts aren't swapped automatically. When I go back to my podcast overview and click on it again it will the show the correct image of the chapter.
Does anyone else experienced the same problem?

This appears to all be part of the manual open close portion of the script. I had a
nother issue with it and just removed the DOC. So I am not sure what to do with this part of it. The CURRENTSTATE xml does exist. but I am unsure what it goes. Looks like it is supposed to look at
current state of the hours and see whether it is open or closed and
then let you choose option to close or open manualy based on that
? I am not sure. I have the script uploaded already if you can help me with some advice on that. I also just uploaded the CURRENTSTATE that seems to be causing this error. Mybe the xml needs to be different? I copied the MANUAL OPENCLOSED part of my script from another one. So maybe need to create a seperate xml renamed for this one?
Thanks

Have you tried resetting your iPod: Nothing will be lost:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My ipod 120GB keeps resetting while playing, any hints?

my ipod 120GB keeps resetting while playing, any hints?

The problem is the "screen saver". Normally after some time the backlight of your ipod is switched off automatically and a clock appears. This doesn't work properly and leads to resets.
The solution: You have to go in the main menu to "settings/backlight and activate "Always on". After that your ipod should work properly. To avoid a very low battery runtime now, you have to adjust the brighness settings to a low value.
This also solves problems like radomly skipping songs or stopping playback.
I really would like apple to solve this problem, but i doubt this will ever happen.

Hi there
Sorry, but your post seemed to initially infer you were just referring to a Button you would insert on a page. At least that's what I understood when I posted with what I did.
Now it would seem you are referring to the Playback Controls that Captivate supplies? So either I grossly misunderstood your initial issue or you are now switching gears and asking about something different.
What I posted earlier does not apply to the Captivate Playback Controls.
Cheers... Rick

How do I restore my Ipod Nano 6th gen, apple logo won't show up on Ipod when I do a hard reset just a circle with a line through it.

When it shows up in Itunes it said I need to do a restore. When I do that an error 1439 comes up. it is stuck in recovery mode.

Are you using the latest version of iTunes and have all the latest Windows updates and patches installed? It might not hurt to try plugging the iPod into a different USB port, preferably a high powered 2.0 one on the back of your PC.
See here for more troubleshooting.

Ipad 2 keeps requiring hard reset

I am having a problem with the iPad 2 that requires me to do a hard reset to get the iPad to come back on. This has happened 3 to 4 times now and I've only had it roughly 3 weeks. Last night it was low on power (10%) and when I went to wake it up it wouldn't come on. I thought a process must have drained it so I put it on the dock and went to bed. I woke up this morning and it still would not wake up. I held the sleep and home button down for a few seconds and got the apple logo. When it came on it didn't charge although it's been charging on the dock all night. Anyone else seeing this happen with their iPad 2 on 4.3?

Went back to the Apple store and this time the agent was able to do an normal diagnostics (which, by the way is pretty cool how they do it over the internet). The last agent that helped me couldn't run a proper diagnostics because 'the networ was down'. The diagnostics said I was running low on memory a lot and the agent looked at all the apps I had running in the background (lots!!) and showed me how to close them after no longer using them. But he also noticed that the time my iPad had saved for being used and sleeping were identical so he concluded it was a hardware issue and promptly exchanged the ipad! That was pretty awesome too. Overall I'm still very happy I bought an iPad

Phone randomly dies requiring hard reset

Does anyone else have this same issue. My phone randomly dies and requires a hard reset. It has happened to me twice in 10 days. First time I thought that I had let my phones battery get to low but after putting it on the charger for an hour it would not power on using the button... had to hard reset. Second time I am 96.3 % positive it had over 75% battery and it randomly died also requiring a hard reset. I have an iphone5 32GB 6.1.3 version ios. My girlfriend is having the same issue with her Droid so I know it is not just an iphone issue. Verizon please respond.

Good morning Bomgart!
I like to think being random is a great attribute. Sadly, not when it comes to a phone though. But fear not, because we've got a couple of solutions for one of our favorite couples.
Now, there's no doubt that random dying is an illness that does plague a small minority of devices. But, there's a possibility that it may be due to the equipment itself or potentially something that was installed. Based on your description of things, you're up to date in software. And hard resets are a fantastic route to take when experiencing these issues. But, we want to isolate the problem. What I'm going to recommend is doing another hard reset http://vz.to/Sq8I9x . Only this time, test it out before you load on your applications. Also, you may wish to remove those which may not be entirely reputable (battery savers, task killers, etc.). Please let me know how that goes and while we're on the topic, which device does your girlfriend have with us? I've got you covered.

N85 will not hard reset after V30 firmware update.

I just got my new Black N85, this is my second one I also have a copper one but it is only at version 20 firmware and when I did a update to version 30 firmware, I could not do a hard reset doing the *#7370# or the three finger reset, all it did after I put in security code is reboot and go back to the home screen, no reset at all. Here we go again with Nokia and their messing with the people that make them the million's that they have. I am getting so SICK of Nokia and their Garbage!!!!

i think you are genuinely confused as to what a hard reset is, Grschinon is indeed correct. i am sure that you can perform this on your phone so try this:
with the phone turned off, press and hold the green call key, * key and the 3 key all at the same time. while holding all of these down, press and hold the power button down until the Nokia hands logo is displayed on the phone. there should now be the country selection/date and time selection screen displayed. if that does not work, then instead of pressing the 3 key, substitute this for the multimedia key (small silver key). if those still do not work, then your best bet is to take your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre for them to take a look at.
please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Why does airport extreme need hard reset after power outage

Airport extreme is unresponsive after interruptions in power and requires a hard reset to get working again. It will also freeze during heavy usage from multiple computers and then a hard reset is necessary to get it working again. It is becoming a chore.

The obvious answer is that if you are using firmware 7.5.2, downgrade to 7.4.2.
Otherwise if you can simulate a power fail by pulling the plug and still have the problem then
If you are still under warranty, take it back...

Do really need to soft/hard reset after updating f...

hello..
i just wanna know do we really need to soft/hard reset our phone after updating firmware??
btw im using nokia 5800XM..im updating my firmware from V50 to V51
tq..
Buy Original..See Original..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In my experience I've found that when I don't do the reset before and after I invariably have problems. For example when I updated my N97 to the v22 firmware the auto-rotate function stopped working properly.
I actually also remove all apps and format the mass storage prior to the firmware update which ends up taking a ridiculously long time with the reloading of my media and maps but I now realize that I'll end up having to do it anyway so I might as well do it properly the first time.
It could just be the N97 as it's such a hunk of junk but I think it's more likely that it's an issue with the update process in S^1.

RAZR MAXX Required Hard Reset, Now Can't Access SD Card?

Today, my GPS signal kept malfunctioning. This was unacceptable as I drive all over the place for work. I called Verizon support and they had me do a hard reset.
After the hard reset, I set up my phone again and was unable to access the SD card. I entered my pin, and the following message showed up on my phone:
SD Card Password Protection
SD card has been secured by another device and cannot be accessed unless formatted.
Tap "OK" and:
SD Card Password Protection
Failed to verify SD card security settings. Encrypted content is not accessible.
Tap "OK" and I'm taken back to the home screen.
Is there any way to restore the SD card? If not, how do you reformat the card to make it usable again? When I try to reformat it from the phone, the only option I have under "storage" is "Mount SD Card" which obviously does not work.
Thank you.

Hi DroidRAzrMaxx0111 - I appreciate you taking the steps to troubleshoot your original concerns and I apologize it had some unintended results! When going to Settings>Location & Security>Data Encryption, is "Storage" currently checked? Is "Encryption key type" greyed out? I look forward to working with you to restore the data!
Thank you,

ICS required hard reset, now can't access 32GB SD card

Saw message this morning that update 6.16.211.XT912 had been downloaded and was ready to install...said it would take 15 minutes...
45 minutes later, the only thing I could get was emergency dialer. Powered down, powered up same thing.
Called tech support, tried powering on/off again and then told to hard reset.
So after the hard reset, ICS is there and the phone is working....BUT I had encrypted my SD card (32GB) and now when I try to mount it get:
SD Card Password Protection
SD card has been secured by another device and cannot be accessed unless formatted.
Click "OK" and see:
SD Card Password Protection
Failed to verify SD card security settings. Encrypted content is not accessible.
Click OK" and back to settings screen!
Is there anyway to tell the OS what the pin was/is? If not, how do you reformat the card to make it usable again? Does it need to be done off the Razr?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks to both poidude and b33 for the replies...but not seeing these options. OS is 4.0.4 (ICS) and the phone is a Droid Razr...System Version that crashed the phone on install is 6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.
When I Select "System Settings" from the Home screen (using the "hard button" on the lower left of the phone) I get a nice new ICS screen. The first category is "Wireless and Networks", the second category is "Device". Under "Device" is "Storage". Selecting "Storage" leads you to a screen with Major categories of "Total Phone Storage", "Application Storage", "Internal Storage/MNT/SDCARD".
Under this last category, there is (after a storage utilization bar chart) "Erase Internal Storage" , "Manage Internal Storage";
If I select "Erase Internal Storage", I get "This action will erase the internal storage on the phone.You will lose all the data on the internal storage"; There is a button "Format Internal Storage". There is no option to separately format the SD card.
What may be more relevant is that when the phone boots up, it tries to read the SD card and then displays the "SD Card Password Protection" messages in my original post. So the OS is trying to mount the SD, but because it was encrypted (and from what I have read, the encryption key was stored in internal memory, which got wiped when the Verizon rep had me do a factory reset! There is no way to ever recover this data. Have looked at Motorola and Droid forums on this...it is really bad. DO NOT USE ENCRYPTION. If your phone dies, your data is gone forever)
The thing is, I cannot use the next major category under system settings, which is "SD CARD/ MNT/ SDCARD-EXT" which has only one option, "Mount SD Card"...if I try to mount the card, I get the same "SD Card Password Protection" messages again!
Can anyone who has inserted an SD card into a Droid Razr running 4.0.4. tell me if a brand new SD card is auto formatted? Do you have to "mount" it first? The current Verzion "help" shots are not for 4.0.4....ugh

IPod music player crash when playing podcast, exported from GarageBand

Hello!
Before start, I'm using this soft/tools: GarabeBand '11 (6.0.4.) on Mac OS X(10.7.2.), podcast, submited in iTunes, and iOS 5 on my iPod Touch 4. All software is up to date.
So. I have a podcast which Is playing fine everywhere, on Mac, iPod etc. But the latest episode I did yesterday, I made with GarageBand to try "Chapter Marks" feature which I did not used before. Then I export podcast to my Mac and upload to my server to make available in iTunes Store as I usualy do.
Then I downloaded latest episode of my own podcast in iTunes, transfer it to iPod, and found that this episode cannot be played on it! I mean, it transfered well, it shown in episodes list of my podcast, but when I tap to play - music player app just crashing all the times. All previous episodes works fine, so I guess the problem with latest episode is because of GarageBand.
I've tried many different export settings in GarageBand: AAC Encoder with Higher Quality (192 kbps), iTunes Plus (256 kbps) and Custom settings 320 kbps. Also I tried all options in "Quality" dropdown menu in Custom settings: High, Higher and Highest.
But result is still same - this episode, exported from GarageBand, crashing on iPod (although It can be played normaly in iTunes on my Mac).
Would be glad for any suggestion how to solve this. I feel very bad cause subscribers of my podcast downloading "broke" episode :-(
p.s.
Here is podcast in iTunes Store - http://itunes.apple.com/ru/podcast/daniel-lesden-presents-rave/id423519688
Here is RSS feed - feed://ravepodcast.com/downloads/podcast.xml
The problem with latest episode, #017.

I examined the episode media file. In QuickTime Player 7 it shows the chapter images, which are 160x160, and plays normally.
However in QuickTime Player X it doesn't show the images, but opens to a very large black player. The info in QT7 looks like this:
You will notice that although at the bottom it says 'Normal Size 160 x 160 pixels', in the top section it refers to a JPEG at 6227 x 6227 which I suppose is an embedded image, though I can see no evidence of one (unless it's plain black): an image this size wouldn't show on an iPod and would very possibly crash it.
I can't explain how this got there - I've never used GarageBand to make a podcast - but you should have an investigation and try to locate and remove it; it's very likely the cause of the problem.
