Is It So Much To Ask For My IPod To Start Up When I Hold The Play Button..

Why should I have to press and hold the menu & center buttons and wait a minute for my IPod to turn on? Holding the play button should turn it on and turn it off, every time. Does anyone else find this completely ridiculous?

I did a bit of research and a test over the weekend.
Even though the manual says to "press any button" to the turn the iPod on, it doesn't work on mine if it's been in "hibernation." I turned the iPod off yesterday afternoon and didn't touch it until I got up this morning. Pressed play button; nothing. Pressed rewind and forward keys; nothing. Pressed the center button, and it turned on.
So my personal experience is that it takes the Menu or Center button to turn my iPod on IF it's been in hibernation mode. (There's Sleep, Deep Sleep, then Hibernation at varying lengths of inactivity.)
But Cole, you shouldn't have to Reset (hold the Menu and Select buttons) every time you turn it on. I'd recommend trying one of these and see if yours functions similar to mine. If it does still require the Menu and Select buttons, there's definitely a problem. That could mean a Restore or a repair to resolve the problem.

    Have you tried giving your iPad a reset? HOld down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. Sometimes when there's a glitch resetting can clear that up.

  • Is it too much to ask for Apple to explain the content of the Console?

    I've asked for definitions of terms for years now ... defintions of console terms and phrases such as the following example, each of which may well relate, in terms of the components and the Consoles ref to their "loading", to the ongoing, sophistcated penentration that manages to deinstall my ESET firewall and screw up desktop components across the board. None of third-party malware products have ever found a "threat" on my system, but the malicious activity continues. '
    Unfortunately Apple long ago decided against helping their customers with the UNIX-based Mac, pretending to the world that new OS X Macs were as simple use as System 9 Macs, and just as secure. LOL. What a lie.  
    Apple exploits its reputation for not documenting its products by continuing to not document their products. Apple also continues to imply in all sorts of ways that a Mac is the most secure platform on the planet, ignoring the fact that its Firewall is a joke because, among other things, its "safest" setting — Block All Incoming Traffic — lets Bonjour traffic in, as if it or its Windows twin ZeroConfig are safe when in truth Bonjour is a massive back door that is almost impossible to shut off.
    WHY DOESN'T APPLE DEFINE ITS CONSOLE MESSAGES, ESPECIALLY THOSE REPORTING ON COMPONENTS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DISABLED, SUCH AS ACTIVE DIRECTORY, WHICH HACKERS LIKE TO USE TO SET UP SHAM DHCP SERVERS?
    WHAT DOES THIS MESSAGE MEAN? Plugin "Active Directory", Version "6.5.1", is set to load lazily.
    Since I have the bad luck of being targeted, and since I know Active Directory represents a huge security hole unless it is used in a controlled environment (i.e., and office the infrastracture of which is used by IT staff to secure its at-work network), I know I don't want mdsresponder guiding a sham server through a firewall's "maximum security" setting.
    SO, I SHOUT THIS QUESTION INTO APPLE'S ECHOING VOID: IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR A DEFINITION FOR: Is set to load lazily"?
    Is there anyone with integrity left at Apple, or did they all leave when Bonjour was introduced?

    Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
    -bind_at_load
                     Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols                when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
    Load resources lazily.
    You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.

    And, higher OS versionsare even worse with Bonjour/mDNSResponder, but might see this...

  • Would it be too much to ask for Firefox to ignore the "www" when sorting history by site?

    Like it says in the topic question. Would it be too much to ask for Firefox to ignore the "www" when sorting history by site? IE ignores the "www", but not Firefox. It's a real pain to have to look in two places rather than one for a site I previously visited.
    Other than that my migration to FF has been great.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I am being asked to verify my Apple ID.  When I enter the password I get the message it is wrong.  It says the e-mail address is already verified for another Apple ID and then it says it is sending an e-mail to my e-mail account that I then never receive.

    This is most likely caused by an iCloud sign up (which forces you to use an email address as Apple ID).

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

    This is your husband's app, only your husband can update it. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that purchased them. No other Apple ID can update someone else's app.

  • My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly.

    My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
    Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?

    Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it.  So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID).  If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.
