Just something wierd... dunno where to post

ok heres the whole long story: (btw i run a U2 Ipod Photo, and yes i love U2, and Black and Red are my fave colors)
sitting here studying today listening to my music, all of a sudden when it got about 10 seconds into a new song (which ive listened to 20 times at least this WEEK and was always fine) the song started skipping, mixing sounds, and adding "interference" and wierd squeegee noises.
so i do what i always do: try different songs to see if it clears up. no.
then i proceeded to turn it off, and on. nothing.
reboot, nada.
though reboot did bring up something funny - the sad/dead ipod symbol. checking the website i saw that it was most likely a hardware problem. (i tried reseting to disk anyways, but didnt work. i also tried all the reboot types, connecting to charger and computer, nothing worked. though rebooting connected to computer gave me the NON ANIMATED [which fyi is wierd since my ipod is the U2 Photo] "no power cannot charge" picture) so i left it on the table.
2 hours or so later, i absentmindedly come back and turn on the ipod, IT WORKS!
so i listen to some songs right? random songs now dont work and some songs have its data from OTHER NON RELATED songs...
ok so during one song (Fanfest Live 2006 - RealX, not that it makes any differences) the thing shuts off (crashes) and reboots its self (apple symbol screen, the whole shibang) and now i think most of the song files are back and correct and working (i tested about 25 random ones).
can anyone tell me [most likely] what went wrong, how to fix it at different stages if it doesnt fix its self, and better yet how to prevent it?

Im not an expert but i have read other threads and they have found that they have had corrupted album artwork. If you find a corrupted one, replace it. As i said im not an expert but its worth a try.

    I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten

    1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
    2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi.

  • I don't know where to post my question??

    It is not a support issue but a general question regarding getting the iphone 4 8gb and if it is a dumb move. I can always refuse the pkg when it arrives  tomorrow but I would really like your thoughts. It is Verizon w/2 yr contract. Dumb move? Going for the 4 s would have been a bot smarter. Maybe I just answered my own question.
    Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place but as the title states, I did not know where to post it.

    One more quick thing. I know my needs would be met by the 4 8gb because I am one who does very little on a smartphone. I do not watch anything, no videos, don't play games. I do have a small list of music. I am 44 and know the 8gb supports my needs fine
    HOWEVER, my biggest issue that I totally forgot to address, is the support for this outdated phone?? One thing I cannot handle is a slow phone. I do browse the internet on my phone. I text and call, use calendar notes stuff like that. But as I said, biggest cncern is how much longer t continue to get updates and support and speed.

  • I have no idea where to post my question

    I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro. I have so many problems trying to get up and running with this machine, I don't know where to post my questions. My mouse doesn't work right any more, the thing doesn't recognize my printer any more, it won't launch my scanner any more... I have been at this for 4 days now. I just don't know where to begin to ask my questions here I am having so many problems getting this brand new machine to work.
    I was migrating from a Powerbook G4 that worked beautifully. As soon as I got this brand new Macbook Pro and tried to use my Kensington wireless mouse, my HP Laserjet, and Epson flatbed scanner, it seems like the new machine just won't work with any of these items and I don't know where to begin to ask here.
    It took 2 days to get Apple mail working properly on this new Macbook Pro and even my ISP was baffled by the problems encountered.
    Could someone please tell me where I can post my question here about how to get the above stuff working with my new Mac? I am completely exhausted and ready to just return the whole thing.

    Actually Human,
    Here are some possibilities.
    Using Your MacBook Pro
    Any of the the other MacBook Pro Forums
    Printing (Leopard)
    Mail And Address Book (Leopard)
    Using Mac OS X Leopard
    Or any of the other Mac OS X v 10.5 Leopard Forums

  • Where to post this?

    I don't know where to post this question;
    Where can I get a DVD, or make one for that matter, of all the Apple conference videos? You know the ones where Steve Jobs introduces stuff and future planse and things. They're called 'WW' something something.
    Thanks

    It is illegal to make copies, under the copyright
    regulations regarding the use of keynotes
    presentations, and there is no DVD for sale with them
    (you would need a few DVDs, they go way back to the
    early 80s).
    The WWxx name is based on the name/location of the
    conference, WWDC, WWSF etc.
    Thanks for the info. A little disappointing though. I would love a compilation of the conferences and all the old commercials etc.
    Maybe they'll put together a box set in the near future.

  • Question relating to Java printing and where to post...

    First of all I am not a developer, but I have a question regarding printing in an application that was developed using Java and am not sure where to post it. I'll pose the question than defer to a moderator to move it if necessary.
    Here's the issue and question:
    We are using an application that has a host/client structure on several systems that use Windows Vista and XP. I have been told by the support team for this application that they use Java for printing tasks. I don't know if the entire application or just the print engine were developed in Java.
    Here's the problem:
    Whenever I tell this app to print for the FIRST time after opening the app, it takes between 4 and 5 minutes before it brings up the print menu. Again, this ONLY happens the FIRST time I tell it to print, and subsequent print commands are processed in a more normal timeframe.
    If I close this app and immediatly open it again, it goes through the same silly wait time for the FIRST print only.
    Tech support had me update Java to the latest incarnation on all machines, but that changed nothing. The guy even had the GALL to blame Java for the issue, can you believe that???
    Anyway, my question to you people here - that develop with Java - is what in the world this app ( and I suppose Java ) could possibly be doing with this print job for 4 to 5 minutes?
    BTW... these are NEW systems, with Dual-Core processors and a minimum of 1.5 gigs ( the server has 3 gigs) of RAM. Oh, and what I am printing is simply text, no graphics, just plain simple text.
    Any and all comments/suggestions appreciated...
    bob

    Thx ChuckBing,
    I agree with you about the application being the most logical source of the problem, and I have already provided their support with all the details that you suggest.
    I'll look at the link you provided and see if anything there steers me in a direction....

  • I have just moved from MobileMe, where I had a 'Family account' (with unique email addresses for my wife and myself) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have iPads and iPhones? Mine sync OK...

    We have just moved from MobileMe, where we had a 'Family account' (and we each have our own @me.com email addresses) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have an iPad and an iPhone, but with different accounts set up for mail. Mine syncs OK to Cal and Contacts, but hers doesn't. There must be a way! Please help.

    According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account."  You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

    You only need a plug adaptor as long as the voltage is between 100 and 240 volts.

  • How do I find my tab history? I had hard drive issues and when I launched my browser after getting it back their was no "restore session" option. I know a tab history is kept, just don't remember where or how to exercise it. Thanks

    Question
    How do I find my tab history? I had hard drive issues and when I launched my browser after getting it back their was no "restore session" option. I know a tab history is kept, just don't remember where or how to exercise it. Thanks

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • HT2688 I just want to know where to find the shared libraries on the new iTunes. These articles are a million years old, and are of no help.

    I just want to know where to find my shared libraries on the stupid new iTunes. The layout was fine before, but when they changed it, I can't seem to find them. The articles on Apple are a million years old, before the latest iTunes update, so they are no help. Thanks.

    It's only 7 months old and it is still correct.

  • I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

    I just downloaded iOS8. Where did my photo stream photos go??? How can I get them back?????

    If these were photos that were only in the Photostream folder of your Photos app, but not actually part of the Photostream itself, then the iCloud Photostream only holds the past 30 days of photos.
    Use the iCloud Control Panel (if you're using Windows, download it here: iCloud for Windows - Apple Support), to see your actual iCloud Photostream.
    Your device will hold the Photostream photos until they are removed, but you should never treat your device or the iCloud Photostream as permanent storage.  You should be importing them to your computer on a regular basis for safe keeping.

  • Why does my App store just have question marks where pictures should be?

    Why does my App Store just have question Marks where the picture of the app should be

    When you log in with a new device, Apple asks security questions and will email you to make sure it is not an unauthorized access to your account.
    We are not Apple support, we are a forum of fellow users.
    You can change your information anytime in your iTunes account.

  • Google said something wierd is going on on my computer...

    Today, when I woke up I had Google notice on my gmail account that something wierd is going on on my computer. I had to enter my telephone number, then Google sent me SMS with code so that I could enter my account. Then I had to change my password. In my mailbox I found that someone was sending mails from my e-mail acccount. How is that possible? Did someone break in my iMac? Do I need additional software for Firewall and Antivirus?
    Thank you in advance for your answers.
    Kind regards,
    Klemen

    Hello k:
    I do not use Gmail.  However, the problem is, I think, on the Google end.  The mail resides on a Google server, not anything to do with Apple.
    I seriously doubt if the penetration was to your Mac. 
    I would definitely not buy A/V software.  There are NO viruses that affect a Mac running OS X - NONE.
    You should, if you have not done so, be sure that the built-in OS X firewall is on.
    FWIW, I had a similar problem with one of my AOL mail accounts.  The problem was definitely on the AOL side.
