[?] Main Menu not showing after "Restore", resetting not helping

Hi,
I recently received my 30GB iPod Video 5G (got it for myself for Christmas). I began charging it. Meanwhile, I uninstalled my old iTunes, and installed the iPod / iTunes / Quicktime software on the CD that came with the iPod. All fine.
I checked the iPod after four-five hours and it had finished charging. I restarted my computer, plugged it in, and iTunes wouldn't detect it. After some frolick, I went to the iPod Updater and clicked Restore. Bad idea!
Since then on, I haven't been able to access the main menu in any way. I've tried reinstalling the software a few times, and nothing helps. I've tried resetting the iPod, but I keep getting that little sign with the exclamation point. My iPod is fully charged.
I'd try the "5 Rs", but I can't reset my iPod, and I restoring it doesn't help, and I've reinstalled all I can.
I've a question - does restoring actually erase the little main menu? If so, where can I reinstall it? If not, what should I do?
- by the way, throughout this little crisis, I got iTunes to start up at one point.
Don't think it's my USB port.
To recap, the problem is that I'm stuck, and I can't reach the main menu. I don't always see "Disk Mode", although I can get to it by holding the select button and the play/pause button at the same time.

look here for info on the exclamation point.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61003
Pressing the center buton and the menu button does a soft reset.
did you look hhere for general info
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/
Simply restoreing your ipod to factory settings resets your ipod to the way you recieved it when you unpacked it. It does not erase the main menu it simply erases all the music/photos/videos from your ipod if there was any.
sound like when you say that your ipod is stuck its frozen did you folow this

since you are using windows 200 do you have meet the tech specs in regards to the service pack? Do you have a USB 2 or earlier?

Main Menu:Not enough disk space for asset encoding

i tried to burn my project first i got an error that in track 1 i've got no assets/videos and i added an asset, then a problem with the story and dragged the same story in both columns.. now i tried to burn again and got this error
Main Menu:Not enough disk space for asset encoding
Build cancelled
Building was not successful. See log.
any help appreciated. Thanks in advance

Sounds like your hard drive is getting full. You need as much space on your drive as you can get - at least as much as the disc contents, twice. If you are burning a DVD-R at 4.7Gb then allow ten Gb free space before you start.

Premier Elements 9 - DVD Main Menu not showing navigation highlights

Hi All,
Apologies if this discussion / question appears twice. I seemd to lose the original and did not think it had been posted.
New to Adobe and just started using Premier Elements 9 for a basic DVD project.
I managed to work out importing, editing, transitions, adding soundtrack etc and got to the DVD Menu stage where everything seemed to come together.
Once i had burned to DVD i checked it worked on the PC which it did but when i tried in a number of DVD players, there was an issue with Main Menu marker navigation.
This project has a main and four scene menus plus an 'Extras' marker i added to the Main Menu pointing toward Stills..
On all the Scene menus, i can see a clear highlight dot move from scene to scene as i navigate with the remote, showing where I am as you would expect.
On the Main Menu however, where i have Play Movie, Scenes and Extras markers, there is no sign of any dot or highlight to tell you which of these you are currently on so its a lottery as to which you get when navigating with a remote from the Main Menu.
I am pretty sure this is user error and if anyone has thoughts of what i have done or not done when i set up the DVD Menu section maybe, i would very much appreciate it.
A little additional info is apart from adding the 'Extras' button to the main menu i imported a still image/Logo to show up in the middle of the menu screen and added a sound clip to the main and all the 'Scene menus.
Whether that has anything to do with it i don't know.
thank you in advance for any clues as to what i have done wrong.
Regards
psutt.

Hi ATR,
My sincere apologies for not getting back to you sooner. This project has been above and beyond my day to day work as an integrator to the Post Production area and everything went a little nuts over the last few weeks.
I wanted to let you know that I was successful in the end, thanks to your input.
I ended up substituting the ‘Fun in the Sun’ with’ Memory Box’ HD under ‘Memories’ and this was the magic solution.
I got bogged down trying to lengthen rolling end credits and lengthening a title plate that headed the Extras but I left as is in the end.
The main thing was the menus worked just fine after the change so I won’t go near Fun in the Sun again if I do another sometime.
I kept it to NTSC widescreen and it looked fine.
Many thanks again for your input.
Kindest Regards

IPad Folders will not appear after restore. PLEASE HELP!

Hi guys,
first of all thank you all. I am new at this forum and I see it is very helpfull. I have a little annoying problem. I have an iPad 1. I have done a constant back up, but when I had to restore it from the last back up I did, everything was synched back to my iPad except the fact that all chosen apps where all messed up and the folders were gone. Can somebody tell me for the future how can I do a back and avoid that after restoring all apps are messed up and make sure the iPad reappears exactely how it was (folders included)? Many thankx in advance.

I copied this from a post a while back. For some reason the iPad likes to "blow up" the folder structure for some users from time to time. This is NOT my advice, but I thought it was interesting reading and it DID seem to make sense.
I have never experienced this destruction of folders myself when syncing and I have never restored my iPad. See if this won't help you in the future.
There is a secret as to why you are losing your folder arrangements.
They can automatically unpack on a sync.
We should all know there are screens off to the right of the valid eleven home pages. If your last page is full of icons and you inadvertently add another something is shoved off to the right. If you move home screens around using iTunes this also happens.
If any icon filled with apps falls off to the right it will unpack and make a mess. If you move a home page filled with folders which are filled with icons around you can lose them all as they will unpack when you sync to iTunes.
The best choice is to take the right most page and MAKE SURE NO FOLDERS ARE EVER IN THE RIGHT MOST PAGE. That gives you safety room from inadvertently scooting one or more folders into higher number screens. I place a few standard apps in the right most page to hold it in place.
CREATING FOLDERS
Second you are safer building your folders on the device itself. To do this I move everything off the bottom bar and use it as a placeholder (bus)to shuttle apps around as I figure out what group they should be added to. I have over 800 apps in 22 GB on the iPad now. Things are well organized and nice looking when scanning the home pages.
When setting it up I just added all the apps at once. Then as I made room on the home screens I paused made sure my 'bus' was empty, then shut down the iPad to power off and back on again. This cleans up memory and on reboot the iPad will add as many of the hidden apps to the space on your eleven home pages. There after it became a session of rinse and repeat until all the apps I wanted where filed away and arranged.
Use meaningful folder names.
Apps from **
There are some real junk apps that some how I managed to grab in the past. Others are surpassed by obviously more powerful and functional apps that have recently appeared so there is no sense in keeping them. If you delete them off the iPad they will reappear on the next sync unless you delete them from iTunes.
How do you remember to delete them from iTunes too? When I get to the delete confirmation screen I take a screenshot which is stored in my Photos roll. Then I browse that roll while before the computer and find each app that needs to be permanently deleted. After deleting it from the PC I then delete the reminder picture.

HTC Sense and wallpaper app has been removed from Main menu, How do you restore?

I seem to have fat fingered the main menu, dragging, of all things the HTC Sense and Wallpaper from the main menu. In fact, having said that, I can no longer scroll through the menu screens that once existed. I can get them to appear as "shadows" on the main menu, but that's it. I have navigated to settings / applications / manage applications but have not succeeded in finding a way to reactivate the Sense and Wallpaper apps, or at least to make them reappear from where ever I dragged them to. Before I bury myself, thought I'd better look for help. Needless to say, I'm new to this device and have managed to out strip my skill level in less than 2 weeks!

Not sure if this will work (or even how that happened) but you could try disabling sense, then turning it back on. I think you can do this by pressing menu>settings>applications>manage applications, select the all tab at the top of your screen, scroll down to and select HTC Sense, then select clear defaults. Then press your home button, a menu should pop up asking what action you would like to take, choose Home (or whatever the other option is besides Sense) but do not select use as default. At this point you may want to reboot your phone then, when it comes back on, if it does not ask you again, press home button and select Sense. If you can confirm this works, the next time you choose Sense, you can select it as default. Kind of a shot in the dark, hope this helps.
Also, you may want to clear data on Sense (same place as clear defaults). This will force you to set your homescreens and any settings or profiles you have created through Sense, but that would be my next guess.
Oh, and if you are using a task killer, disable it. Just throwing out ideas here. Again, hope something here helps.

Update of iPod after restore/reset

Any idea why, after a restore/reset of my 60 Video that I can only "re"update 100 songs at a time from iTunes? At 8,500 this is proving quite time consuming.

Restored and updated to Version 1.1 (latest current).
It is set to update all automatically but stops of its own accord around 100 songs through. It isn't exact but rather a round number.
Perhaps it "times out" after the minute or so it takes to update that number of songs from iTunes to my iPod?

Mail accounts not showing after restoring a profile backup

Followed the instructions here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_restoring-a-profile-backup for manually "Restoring to a different location".
Re-stated TB and only "local Folders" show in the home tab. The emails for my previous main account are there minus what was on the "inbox" for that account.
The rest of the email accounts were created in the account settings but are not showing in the home tab (no emails).
When I point to the server settings they message storage is set to this folder and I get this message.
The Local Directory path "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxx.default\Mail\pop.1and1-2.com" is not suitable for message storage. Please choose another directory.
Could you please provide some help?

Normally the instructions work fine, but in your case there seems to be a glich. I've heard that some issue can occur if the Profile has been moved from one pc to another and previous pc directory used :
C:\\'''Documents and Settings'''\\ and the root directory gets confused.
This is located in the prefs.js file, which you copied over when you followed the instructions.
It can be fiddly and time consuming trying to correct this file.
So I'm going to suggest that you do not use the old prefs.js file.
The best way forward would be to delete the Profile and start again but this time using a fresh new prefs.js file.
Using Profile Manager
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
create new Profile and then click on 'start thunderbird'
Manually create all the mail accounts - email addresses, which you had backed up, but do not download anything.
File > New > existing mail account
or
menu icon > New Messages > exisitng mail account
enter name, full email address and password for the mail account,
click on 'Remember Password'
Click on 'continue' button.
When all mail accounts have been created in the new Profile, check the Account Settings are exactly as you require.
Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings
or
Menu icon > Options > Account Settings > Server Settings
check all preferences are as you require
also check other settings eg: Copies & Folders, Junk Settings etc.
when all is ok click on OK to save any changes.
Then access the Profile folder as follows.
make sure hidden folders are visible:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
In Thunderbird
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* click on 'show folder ' button
* A new window opens.
'''Close Thunderbird now - this is important.'''
The Profile folder will show a 'Mail' folder amongst other files and folders.
scroll down to see:
abook.mab and history.mab files.
These are your Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. The new files will be empty.
Locate your backup profile and copy paste the abook.mab and history.mab files into the new Profile overwriting the new blank files of same name.
Additional info:
You may have a few more files that you may wish to copy/paste into this profile name overwriting files of same name. Not totally essential, but will save time setting these preferences up again.
* localstore.rdf - Toolbar and window layout size/position settings.
* mailviews.dat - Defines your current message view
* mimeTypes.rdf - Action to perform when downloading certain types of files.
* training.dat - Custom training for Junk Mail Controls
In new Profile, click on 'Mail' folder
You should see your added mail account names and Local Folders.
click on one of the mail accounts.
They will have the basic default folders which of course are empty.
Locate backup Profile mail account for same email address.
you need to copy paste the ''contents'' of the backed up mail account name into the new empty mail account name.
Copy all the files and folders and paste into the new mail account folder overwriting the contents eg: Inbox. It may look similar to image below.
Do this for each mail account and Local Folders.
So you have replaced the new empty mail accounts files with all the backed up email files.
Restart Thunderbird.
Please report back on results.

User not showing after restoring from time machine backup

I was having issues with my 2009 Macbook pro. took it to the Genius Bar. Diagnosistics all showed ok. (I had done troubleshooting before I had the appointment). They suggested wipe and reinstalll from my time machine backup. I agreed.
Returned home to do the reinstall. When I went to log in found that one of my user accounts did not show in the log in - only my main and "guest" accounts. On checking the "users" folder the user is present. It also does not show in the system preferences user screen but when I try to recreate it says it exists. Note I have done this wipe and reinstall with Mavericks
Help! Most of the content I have on my main BUT there are several things that are not.
Thank you for your attention.

Issue solved with visit to Genius Bar.
As I understand it here are the steps the Genius did. Attempt to create the account (system preferences->users) with the same information. It will say it already exists. Very carefully read the options. One will say use the existing account. BE CAREFUL because one option will wipe your data.
If you need to do this it might be worth the trip to the Genius Bar as you could wipe your data. One precaution I took was to bring a full copy of that user account onto my desktop (from the backup immediately before the wipe) in addition to the one in the user folder. Once we verified that the account was working I moved the desktop copy to the trash and again verified the account (just to be safe).
Hope this helps someone else.

HT1212 ipod touch disabled . cant reset in itunes passcode error still shows after restore ipod action ?? what else could i try ?

after the factory reset ipod is still disabled and says connect to itunes ??
HELP!!

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

MY macbook pro would not start up after PRAM reset. HELP

I got the spinning beach ball of death again. And then I held the power button until it turned off. turned it back on and then it had the spinning loading wheel underneath the apple logo upon start up. I waited 10 minutes before holding down the power button again. Then I tried to reset the PRAM. After I thought I did it right. whenever I try and start it up it loads a grey screen that says. "you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button, wait until your computer is off then press the power button again" and it says this in a few different languages. I need help -please. Thank you. I'm running mac os x leopard version 10.6.4

It sounds like your are suffering a Kernel Panic. I would recommend reading this article about KP's and how to trouble shoot them. If your machine is under warranty or if you have AppleCare you can bring it in and Apple can help you solve the problem.

Bug in iphone 4s - Red icon shows after restore from backup

Hi All,
I think i have found a bug with the iphone 4s.
If i restore to new with the latest software 5.0.1 the little red icon does not show on the settings tab but then if i do a restore from backup it shows.
This is annoying and is clearly a bug as the phone is upto date.
Anyone else having this issue?
I think it might be because i installed the update from 5.0 to 5.0.1 via the phone and not the pc.
Cheers

If you have back up your notes, you can restore from the backup.
To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
1. Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
2. If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup
Solution from Apple.com: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone data recovery software is your last shot! I used iTunes Data Recovery and it worked well. It's easy to use. Just a few clicks you can get all your photos back. Here is a step by step guide for you: http://x.co/3Q8U3

Apple TV with plain black screen, doesn't show in iTunes, reset no help

I was watching a purchased iTunes movie and it was inserting random black screens from time to time. I tried another iTunes show and it did the same thing.
So I did a "soft reset" with no change. Then a factory restore.
Now I get nothing. Its not showing up in iTunes on my Mac and it merely has a plain black screen all the time. Swapped out HDMI cables to make sure it wasn't a bad cable.
The led is showing white which seems to indicate that everything is running normally...
Is there a next level reset that I can try?
Other suggestions?

I am using my powerbook / leopard and airport with the atv. I can get the atv on the net but not as a device on itunes. My old imac with tiger shows the device. I don't see anything in leopard preferences to help. Any suggestions?

My ipod keyboard wont work even after restoring it please help

please help me!!

If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod do that. If yuo are still having problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You likely have a hardware problem.
You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself.
