Is my iPod on its last legs??

I have used approximately 10Gb of my 80Gb Classic with music and podcasts only, since I have had this one in the last 14/16 months and it is showing signs of serious deteriation already!
Symptoms
1. The click wheel often doesn't register the touch of a finger
2. On the selection pages(?)when Music, Video, Photos or one of the others is chosen on the left hand side the right hand image does not correspond i.e 'Music' is highlighted on the left but the image is for 'Photos'
3. There can be a long delay (60 seconds plus) unitl the action is followed after making a choice.
On face-value small issues until they occur every time I use it; then it becomes a major wind-up. I know Apple products are reputed to have a short life time but this seems ridiculous especially as I have not got anywhere near what its capacity is intended to be.

I guess it's time to restore it to factory settings and see if this takes care of your problems http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339

Grr!! Why has Apple stopped the Classic! Mine is on its last legs, was going to buy one and now they are all sold out!! Im seriously hacked off Apple! What do i do now!?

I cant believe Apple has discontinued the Classic without telling anyone - I need a new one and now they are all sold out!!!! Its crazy!! I have over 100Gb of music, in car, everywhere! And now when mine finally stops working (its on its last legs), I cant replace it as they don't do anything with the same capacity!! They have invented a great gadget and then stopped it! Usual big company mentality - oh well, time to start researching MP3 - no more Apple for me.....grrrrr

Interesting answer - but equally I am not 'obliged' to continue to use their ITunes or hardware
No one is making you, it's your choice. However, this forum is for people to seek technical help on use of iPods, not for moaning about Apple's decisions.

I have just spent 2 hours trawling online/high st stores, everywhere is sold out - other than online at a premium - im interested in why you find this inexplicable,
Because usually, when a product is discontinued, a store would drop the price to get rid of old stock (of a product that the manufacturer has decided is no longer popular).

I have only two suggestions.
Wait. As per the suggestion in my previous post. There is after all, already an iPhone with 128GB capacity. Technically therefore, that would suggest that it is possible to produce a replacement for the Classic. But since I have no inside knowledge of anything Apple are planning, don't quote me on that!
Work on the basis that since your iPod is only "on its last legs" rather than "not working at all", it still has a useful purpose. Maybe by the time it does stop working, suggestion 1 will have come to pass.
I have no practical suggestion for avoiding a touch screen, it's the modern way!
Of course, if all else fails, and you end up with an iPod that has less capacity than your Library, you could resort to using Smart Playlists to manage your iPod, by using them to add and remove songs (for example, ones recently played that you don't want to hear for a while) and thereby keeping the songs on the iPod within its capacity. If that interests you, please ask and I'll explain it in more detail.

Your going to need to be able to make a copy of your data.
You may want to consider buying and using an external drive for your daily use.
I believe the g5's have a firewire 800 port.
In case you decide to replace your internal drive.
iMac g5 is SATA 1.0
2.1 SATA revision 1.0 - 1.5 Gbit/s - 150 MB/s
Check to make sure you can reduce the speed to 1.5. Some 6.0 drives have a plugable pin to reduce to 3.0 then auto negotiate from 3 to 1.5.
You can buy a dongle for 15 to 20 dollars to temporarily attach a harddrive to your system.
You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer [ a few G5's will boot from USB ].
I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
I'd give OWC a call. 1-815-338-8685.
FireWire 800 + USB 3, + eSATA
save a little money interface:
FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
     (2) FireWire 800/400 Ports (Up to 100MB/s / 50MB/s)
     (1) USB 3.0 Port (Up to 500MB/s / 60MB/s)
     (1) eSATA Port (Up to 300MB/s)
Has a combo firewire 800/400 port. Not sure what this is. Looks like you will need 400 cable.

Ibook g4 graphics card on its last leg?

hey guys, i have an ibook g4, 1.2 ghz. the graphics card has been showing the "line of death" for about 2 and a half years now, and recently ive begun to notice that the screen will randomly dim and brighten. is my graphics card on its way out?

Hey Slay,
.. the graphics card has been showing the "line of death" for about 2 and a half years now,
Can you describe this line more? Is it horizontal or vertical?
recently ive begun to notice that the screen will randomly dim and brighten. is my graphics card on its way out?
Well first it's not a card it's a chip on the logic board. The random dimming and brightening might be a problem with the inverter, cable or keyboard.
Try resetting PMU first:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6520842#6520842
Also try attaching an external monitor and seeing if the problem carries over.

My 2012 MACBOOK is acting strange - is it on its last legs?

I've a number of issues and questions to ask...
For a few months I have had a number of problems with my macbook - cut and paste only works erratically, at times the keyboard and screen don't synchronise and the fan gets very hot from time to time.
I also wondered if there was a virus and if so how do I find out - I don't use ANYTHING third party and even deleted CleanmyMac. Looking at the activity monitor - it seemed Spotify had a few 'error' messages so I have just deleted it and, the keyboard already seems to be synching better - but that may be my imagination. I have recently upgraded to Yosemite and I don't like it as the problems seem worse - lots of freezing and unexpected 'crashes' - Is there a way to go back to Mavericks?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but I heard rumours that Apple now like to build in a 2 year obsolescence on their machines and I wonder if mine is dying. I am a freelancer and have had a bad year so need to know if it will work as I now have a contract that I will be depending on and can't afford to buy new at the moment.
Thanks!

Hello there and thanks for the reply - This is the report - some red items - could that be the problem?

HomeHub on its last legs?

Hi guys,
I made a topic a couple of weeks ago about my horrendously slow Internet speeds (200kbps average when I usually get about 800kbps). I became insanely busy so I had no time to get back to any replies.
Anyway, I'm still getting really slow speeds. I can't stream videos on Twitch without the video having to buffer every 10 seconds or so. I can't download any games or any work files I need without waiting far too long (A patch for one of my games took 40+ minutes the other day). In the last 2 or 3 days, I've been having to reset the router due to the connection completely dropping.
I glanced through the forums and noticed a number of people are getting slow speeds and disconnects. This makes me wonder if it's my HomeHub or a general problem? I have a HomeHub2, and I've had it since we joined BT (About 4 or 5 years ago). I've heard they tend to die after a while; is 4 - 5 years "a while" in this case? If I have to replace the HomeHub, does the HomeHub5 work with non-infinity broadband?
Thanks,
Steve

Sorry for the delay - more work!
Anyway, performance test:
Download Speed (Mbps): 1.98
Upload Speed (Mbps): 0.33
Ping Latency(ms): 53.63
I can't remember EVER downloading at 1.98mbps since being with BT. Is that also a sign of a dying HomeHub?

I am unable to deactivate my photoshop program from the computer that is standing on its last leg and there seems to be no one to contact? I have internet, i turned off the firewall

Who can I contact to deactivate photo

What version? I ask because it's kind of a non-concern with a Creative Cloud subscription.
If you have a perpetual license, you can clear up your activation records by calling Adobe Customer Support. If you go to their main page by clicking the red logo at the top of this page, it takes some doing but you can drill down to where you can get a phone number.

Phones on its last leg !

Can I buy a pay as you go or per paid phone and put it on my current plan. ?

Prepaid devices have to be used on prepaid for the first 6 months the phone is active. Your best bet would be to look at eBay, Swappa or Craigslist

PowerBook G4 on its last legs: sometimes restarts, sometimes not

I've got all my data off my old beloved Titanium and bought a new black MacBook. But now I'm trying to clear off the old Titanium and reinstall 10.2.4 just to see if I can get this old baby running again.
Here's all the backstory. The Titanium crashed and then wouldn't boot. It would spin the disk but the screen stayed black. I tried starting with SHIFT held down and sometimes it got part way into the boot up process. Eventually I managed to start it in Target Mode and connected it to a new Mac (my new black MacBook 120G) and I copied all the data off of the Powerbook that I wanted. While I had it slaved up I ran Disk Utility and Verified the Disk. It had no problems. But Verify Permissions was grayed out. Also while slaved I trashed the preferences - the ones under username/library/preferences including mail, recent items, custompresets, safari and finder .plists.
(The other problem is that this Powerbook has no working DVD drive. It died 6 months ago.)
I tried to install the new OS over the Firewire while in the Target mode but that didn't work. (I can explain if you want more detail.)
I've tried clearing the VPRAM. I haven't done the PMU yet.
What I want to know is: while in slave mode how can I delete some files that'll make a clean start up more likely. Which files should I delete to make a clean start up?
I wouldn't mind erasing the whole darn thing except I don't have a way to get an OS on there. (Unless I can figure out how to install via Target Mode while the Powerbook still hasn't booted up correctly.)
Thanks!

Hi, ds, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I wouldn't mind erasing the whole darn thing except I don't have a way to get an OS on there. (Unless I can figure out how to install via Target Mode...)
I'd say this is the direction to go in. The likelihood that you can make your damaged OS installation work again by deleting things is small. Neither you nor we have any idea what's already missing or corrupt, and that's probably what's wrong. A new installation is far more likely to pay off quickly and be reliable.
So when you tried to reinstall the OS via FireWire Target Disk Mode, what went wrong? Please describe exactly what you did and exactly what happened. Better still, try it again, and tell us exactly what happens this time.

MBP 2008 On Last Leg

I bought my MBP back in 2008 at my university because I was tired of PCs. I had a Gateway then two HPs, and finally my Mac and it's been the best ever. However, I'm currently starting to run into troubles and I think it might just be do to age. I've googled, youtubed, and searched for about every troubleshooting tip I can find and not really getting any answers except, "It's probably your hardware." So this makes things difficult because I am also currently deployed and I use my Mac to stay in contact with family and friends as well as take care of finances and occasionally take care of some work and schooling when I have the free time. If my Mac finally just stops working, I'm going to lose the capability of all that. Yes we have MWR, but its super small and almost always busy. Time limit on it is only a half hour. Now apparently I'm suppsed to call Support to try and have them help me figure it out, but they want to charge me $19 because everything on it has expired. It's almost 5 years old, of course its going to expire. Don't really know what I'm supposed to do besides order a brand new Mac, but don't really want or can afford to drop the cash. What else can I do? Some of the issues I'm having are:
Mac will restart or shutdown on it's own. Sometimes when it reboots I also get a gray failure screen. Time that it stays on varies to a couple hours to sometimes only twenty minutes.
Screen flickers now and then and then produces a very crappy image which I have to restart to fix.
The Mac is getting super hot in the top left corner near the ESC key. I've noticed it get warm before, but this is actually slightly painful to the touch. I rest it on a laptop cooler and have those fans on, but it's really not helping. Some troubleshooting tips have suggested this may be one of the reasons that I'm having difficulties.
My trackpad is non operational. It went out about 2 weeks ago and I was forced to switch to using a mouse. Took forever to disable the trackpad when a mouse was plugged in through Universal Access because I could not even click with the track pad by simple touch or by pushing.
And finally, it's just become downright slow. I don't have a lot of programs or anything on it, but when I first had it, started up and everything went smoothly. Now just even opening Safari, the icon will bounce for quite awhile before it finally loads.
Am I going to just have to pony up the dough or is there something Apple can do to help me out? Thanks.

Your MBP seems to be on its last legs, and it's hard to figure out exactly what the problem is.
Certain MBP models are eligible for extended coverage, and it's possible that your unit qualifies:

In any case, I'd visit your nearest Apple Store when you can. There are a few other potential issues you might want to investigate.

IPod mini battery lasts only 1h

I own an iPod mini 4gb which I bought 3 months ago.. From the time i started using it I noticed that its battery life was low compared to the one written on its features (about 6hours).. Now after a full charge if i dont use my ipod for about a day then it wont turn on and if i turn it on right after it is charged then the battery indicator raches its lowest point within 2 mins and it remains there for about an hour and then my iPod runs out of battery.. Dows my iPod has a defective battery? If it does will I get a free repair(incuding shipping costs since i live in cyprus)? Is it a software problem?

If your battery dies or cannot maintain a charge, Apples Service Request process will:
- Replace it for free during the first 6 months of the warranty**
- Replace it for a shipping charge (~$35) after 6 months and prior to the 1-year period **
- Replace it for free if you have the additional AppleCare policy (this extends the warranty to 2 years)**
- Replace it 'anytime' for a $59 charge (was $99 until 7-8-2005)
b This is regardless of where it was legitimately purchased.
i ** See the Battery Test link below. This is how Apple determines if the battery is not performing. If the iPods battery lasts less than 50% of the up to metric, then Apple considers it a problem. For example: This means less than 4 hours for a 1st Gen Mini and less than 9 hours for a 2nd Gen Mini. -- Best to perform this
b specific
i test yourself, prior to sending in the iPod for warranty work
b and
i understand the battery life metric for your unit.

I restored my ipod to its original settings but now when i try to back it up it is asking for my password and when i give it it says it is wrong and it is right

I restored my ipod to its orginal settings and checked for it to be backed up. When it was done restoring i tried backing it up and it said to enter the password. I didn't know if it was my itunes password or what so i entered several and it said they were all wrong. So which password is it?

Is this the error message that you see?
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" error syncing iPod in iTunes.
If nothing else works, you could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater. It's usually a last ditch troubleshooting effort.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode.

My iTunes library will not connect to my iPod, nor will it show the purchases made on that iPod from the last 2 years. What can I do to get that music on my laptop?

When trying to burn a CD, I realised that a LOT of my music (over 700 songs) are not on my laptop. I try and sync my iPod frequently however, a notice pops up saying 'erase and sync' or do nothing. Due to the fact the not all my music is not on my laptop I choose the option to do nothing. This has been going on for about 2 years now and I am struggling to find a solution.
All those new purchases that I have brought through my iPod in the last 2 years do not show up on my account settings nor as an option to download through iCloud. I understand this may be a simple fix, however I am not an expert in this field.
Any suggestions as to how to solve my problem are greatly appreciated.

If you're referring to Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection then you need to post your question on a Microsoft forum as this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Remote Desktop...apples software for managing Mac on your network.
Please clarify which software you're referring to.

Is my iPod on its last legs??
