Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if my USB cable is healthy? How can I verify? I do know that the USB drivers are installed. The ipod was completey dead before connecting it to the computer and the AC adapter. Thanks again.....

My ipod will not turn off please help???

Everything works on my ipod, but it will not turn off. It will play and pause but not turn off.

I too have had this problem. In fact it seems to be a fairly common problem, suggesting that it is an unaddressed bug.
Here's what you can try:
1. Reset your iPod by holding down the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds. After your iPod reboots, see if it will turn off. If not:
2. Restore your iPod using iPod Updater, which you can download from http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ . Restoring your iPod will delete all songs, pictures etc and reload the iPod's operating system. If that doesn't fix it, you can:
3. Try a work-around. Can you turn it off using the Sleep menu option? If you don't see that in the main iPod menu, go to Settings/Main Menu and turn on the Sleep menu option. This didn't work for me, but others have een able to turn their Nanos off this way.
If none of these things work, your only option is to have Apple replace you iPod. You can do this by contacting Apple support, or by going to the Genius Bar at an Apple retail store.
Several people (including me) have seen the not-turning-off problem in conjunction with the Nano frequently showing a message saying that firewire connections are not supported. In my case my Nano became unusable because the firewire message would pop up so often that I couldn't navigate through the menus to get it to play anything. I took my Nano to an Apple store and the Genius Bar guy replaced it on the spot. Unfortunately the replacement also doesn't work (headphone jack doesn't work so I can't hear any music) so I will have to go back again, but don't let my run of bad luck prevent you from getting a replacement.

My ipod will not turn on, please help.

My problem is different than the other ones posted on the forums, I have a 60gig ipod. Once it turns off I can't get it to turn back on unless I reset the system by pressing the menu and center button. Is there a way without restoring the original settings? It works fine once its on, but it is really frustrating to have to reset the ipod every time I want to use it. And I don't want to create more problems by constantly restarting it, that can't be too good for the ipod. It still syncs fine with the computer and everything. And it has a charge. If I reset the ipod, it will play fine. It's just after I use it, I turn it off, and next time I want to play it, I would have to reset it.

Hi Patrick,
You sound like you know something about a thing or two...Would you know anything about myself and other people 's problems about
the Apple logo flashing on and off with a low whining down sound and then restarting again,and this goes on and on,I guess untill the battery dies.
I have a 5th Generation 80GB Classic ipod.
I went to turn on the ipod and nothing happened. I tried the reset method by sliding the hold switch ON, then OFF, and pressed both the top area of the MENU button and the middle of the SELECT button, at the same time, but with two different fingers.
All I’m getting now is the black screen with the Apple logo appearing for about six seconds, then off for about 6-8 seconds, and ON, over and over again and so far it has been doing this for about fifteen minutes now.
I called APPLE, and they told me to install iTunes, and plug in the ipod, and hit the RESTORE Option, but for some reason, the newly downloaded QUICKTIME and new itunes I just downloaded from Apple does not open up the itunes when I double –click on it either from the desktop, or the Start>Programs>itunes folder.
The reason for all this was that I was clearing off one computer’s hard drive to another new computer before I wipe the Hard drive. I deleted all my mp3’s and the itunes program from the old computer and put the mp3 music files onto the new hard drive. I downloaded the new Quick time and itunes programs separately to my desktop.
I was told from Apple that my ipod warranty has expired by about 85 days.
I have run all the Apple updates and it tells me I am up to date. Thanks for any help.

Brand New Never Used Macbook Pro Will Not Power On. Please Help!

Ok so I just recieved my Macbook Pro 13" in the mail today, and when I went to turn it on it wouldn't. The power-up sound doesn't play and I have full battery power. I followed all of the steps leading up to the power-up step so I don't know what is wrong. I also tried all of the suggestions mentioned in the user guide, and don't know what to do next. I guess I will bring it in to the store soon if I can't get it fixed. Kind of disappointing since it is my first mac...

Lol yeh it came almost fully charged. I called Apple and am going to now send it back because it is DOA. Now I get to wait for at least another week before I get a new one. Ty for your responses.

You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org

I need to create a second back-up of iPhoto from Time Machine to a separate external drive. The old iPhoto in TM will not open. Please help! And thank you!

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

HT1212 what if ipod will not power down

what if ipod will not power down

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If you can't do the above then
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Gary,
Thanks for getting back to me - I gave up on getting this to work yesterday so Im hoping today will be better. I tried your suggestion of holding down the shift key and it didnt work. I have tried alot of stuff that I found posted in the discussions - I tried doing what you suggested Hewtab do - following the article, IPod appears in Window but not in Itunes. I have shut down my virus software - I even restored my computer back to before I installed Itunes and tried to reinstall it but no go - that made it even worse. When I try to uninstall or reinstall Itunes or the Ipod software it wont let me. - It simply says Product_Name ws not found in string table. IS there anything else I can do? Im about to download winamp and be done with itunes.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default.

IMac will not power up! Help!

I have an iMac that for some reason will not power up, at all.
The specs are: 800 MHz, iMac G4, 512 MB.
It stopped detecting the available WiFi network in my home regardless of where I located it. So I rest PRAM, and no change. I reset NVRAM and all in open firmware, no change. Pulled the RAM and AirPort card and reseated; no change.
So I reset the PMU (pushed it quickly and only once) and now it will not start up at all. No fan. No lights. Nothing.
I don't have any extra plugged into the iMac now. I pulled the RAM and Airport card and have tried booting with and without just the keyboard plugged in.
I've unplugged it and let it set for over 24 hours and still nothing. I have noticed that when I plug it in, the overhead incandescent bench light on the same circuit dims or flickers ever so slightly for a very brief moment.
So I'm leaning towards one of the following:
1. PMU crash meaning I need to replace the logic board
2. Fried logic board which is likely why the Airport card stopped responding (which, by the way, was somewhat intermitant at first)
3. PMU crash that can somehow miraculously be reset saving me from having to get a replacement logic board
4. Bad battery (haven't checked this yet as it seems the machine would show some sign of life if it had a bad battery. This thing is lifeless).

Hello slee:
You have, IMHO, analyzed the problem. I think it is time to take the computer to either an Apple store or to an Apple certified repair shop for diagnosis. I do not think you want to begin replacing things that may be OK.
