Many problems began with F. 3.6.12, mostly with bookmarks.

First Firefox appeared to close but remained open, and the only I get back to Firefox was by a computer restart. That problem went away, but then I appeared to loose all my bookmarks. I recovered them with the restore operation. Then they disappeared again. This time the restore date menu did not extend back far enough in time for me to recover the bookmarks. I uninstalled 3.6.12 and attempted to reinstall it, but repeatedly received an error message. I then reinstalled 3.6.10. My bookmarks returned, but the list under "Organize Bookmarks" is still empty. Also, the menu of bookmark folders is very limited when I attempt to save a new bookmark, preventing me from putting new bookmarks where I want them. I'm continuing to place new bookmarks in the desired folders by copying the URL onto the clipboard and right clicking and pasting the copy where I want in the main bookmark list. How can I get the organization operation to show the bookmarks which I know are there? Can you tell me where, in Vista, Firefox 3.6.10, bookmarks reside. I want to copy the list to an external media so I will never loose the list again and can reinstall if lost. Is there a file like C:\***\***\***\bookmarks.html ?

    Hi,
    this can be related to the compression of the PDF file.
    You can turn off the FlateDecode compression again via report RSTXPDF3 as described in Note #843480. It is a little confusing. The option 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' needs to be set to 'On' to turn off the FlateDecode compression.
    To set this please run as follows:
    se38 -> RSTXPDF3 -> enter 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' in the 'Name' field -> Select 'Change Settings' radio button
    You will get a pop-up 'Do not use flat compression'.
    Select the 'on' button.
    After this check if the PDF is created correctly.
    regards,
    Aidan

  • Firefox doesn't display bookmarks in the sidebar, only in the menu bookmark. It doesn't display bookmarks in the "organize" bookmarks. It doesn't save tabs on exit. Problem began with 3.6.6

    FF 3.6.6 doesn't display bookmarks in sidebar, but a search in the sidebar shows they are still there. It does display them from the menu bar. It doesn't display bookmarks in the "organize bookmark" display. It doesn't save tabs on exit. Doesn't save browser screen size.

    With so many issues with your current profile it would be better to try a new profile.
    Be careful with what you copy to that new profile and it sounds that at least you have problem with places.sqlite and maybe prefs.js and localstore.rdf as well.
    First test that new profile without copying files and installing extensions.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

    I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
    did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
    What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
    It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
    If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
    Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
    Hope this helps

    iTunes will not download to my computer. No firewall or pop-up blocker issues. Started with iTunes 11. Have same problem on 3 different computers. Does anyone know anything about this? Please help!

    It's possible the AppleTV is being seen as a streaming only library - are you able to view streamed content under My Movies etcor My Shared Movies etc?
    If the content is new and is HD it's possible you're downloading 1080p which ATV1 can't handle or sync.

  • Yet another iMac G5 20" 1.8Ghz with many problems! Help please!

    I have a iMac G5 20" 1.8 running 10.4.3 with 2GB RAM
    I bought it in July 2005 on Ebay in the UK (the previous owner bought it in January 2005)
    The Mac ran fine for months until the start of November when I started having all these problems (which many other iMac G5 20" 1.8 owners are having around the World):
    1. Frequent Kernel Panics where the Screen goes all fuzzy and locks up and so I have to restart.
    2. Screen is sometimes darker at the top than the bottom after I have started the Mac up (this sometimes fixes itself if I do a Restart).
    3. Screen sometimes starts up darker all over (in a slight pinkish hue colour).
    4. Frequent Kernel Panics when the screen just freezes up and nothing does anything except the mouse can be moved so I have to restart again.
    5. When I start it up in the Morning it takes about 10 times to get it to the desk top because everytime it boots up the screen starts to flicker wildly with lines all over it and then there is a Kernel Panic and the Screen freezes into a fuzzy image.
    I have tried all the usual things that people have suggested on this Discussion Board and many other Apple Message Boards to try and sort these problems but nothing seems to fix it.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM
    I have tried re-installing the OS.
    Why was the iMac was fine for almost 6 months and then the problems started occurring?
    Was it because I installed OS X 10.4.3? Because it was around that time when the problems began
    Has anyone else managed to get Apple to fix these problems that they've been having with their iMac G5's under Apple's current iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues?
    iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues
    See this webpage:
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/
    How long did the repair take?
    Is there a risk that I could be charged for any repairs?
    My Serial Number is one of the serial numbers that is mentioned in the Repair Extension Programme

    One important factor to consider is that Apple's original factory warranty does not transfer to second owners. It is only valid with the original purchaser.
    The only warranty that transfers to second owners is the optional AppleCare extended warranty.
    I mention this only to point out that the extension program does not explicitly state whether the computer is covered regardless of the ownership status, or whether it only applies to the original purchaser who's standard warranty may have run out.
    It is implied that it extends existing coverage (even if that coverage has expired).
    So, with that in mind, you will need to contact Apple to determine whether the program covers you at all.
    If the original purchaser obtained AppleCare for the computer, and then properly transferred that coverage to you, then you are probably fine.
    Transferring AppleCare requires a formal request. That's what I had to do to transfer the AppleCare warranty on my old system to the new owner. It required a written letter requesting the transfer to be sent to Apple Computer. The letter is to specifically identify the computer with it's serial number, model number, date of purchase, and AppleCare identification number. It must then formally request that warranty to be placed in the new owner's name.
    Anyway, if you have AppleCare, then I wouldn't be concerned. But, if you purchased it without obtaining AppleCare from the previous owner, then you may not have any resolution with Apple.
    You'll have to call them to find out.

  • After Yosemite Update, Macbook Pro Frustratingly slow, along with many problems after

    My Info:
    Macbook Pro (2012)
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    OS X 10.10.3 (14D136)
    Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    186.54 GB free of 498.88 GB
    Until the last OS X Update (Yosemite), I have had no problems with my almost three year old MacPro.
    However, after the last update, I have so many problems with my mac, I just feel like throwing
    it out the window.
    Unfortunately, I did not have a backup prior to the update, but I backed up my photos and files, then proceeded
    to follow apple's instructions (apple support chat) to erase the HD and re-install yosemite from online. Then, I backed up my files and photos from my external drive. (I used TIME MACHINE)
    Fine in theory, but:
    1. my iphoto library was somehow lost, nowhere to ever be found again
    2. I suddenly have issues with my trackpad--the "double click" or "right" click refuses to work, I cannot drag and drop.
    3. I have java runtime error messages even upon startup, without internet connection, even though I have already deleted anything and everything java related.
    4. My safari is completely useless. Freezes even when only using one tab, must force quit every second.
    5. My computer decides by itself when to zoom in and out of a page.
    6. My apps are completely slow, I most always need to force quit them
    7. My trash has many issues-- If putting a file in the trash, it says "moving file to trash" for hours on end without ever completing the action, also, if I try emptying the trash, it's the same story.
    8. Settings. If I try to change a setting, it says "authenticating" for ever and ever without ever authenticating, and I am unable to change any settings.
    I have talked to apple many times but have not yet reached a solution.
    I have no other resolution at the moment, as I am in Taiwan for another month (My Chinese is limited and there are few, if none authentic Apple stores around)
    I have one more month on my warranty so I can *possibly* take it in to a store when I return home, but I first wanted to ask here and see if anyone else stumbled upon the same issues, or if they had solutions.
    Thank you!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • Many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) in CR Xi

    Hi,
    I have listed many problems with the 'Export to Text' (.txt) function of CR Xi.
    These problems are related to this export format only (meaning everything works fine in the Viewer or in the 'Export to PDF')...
    - Multi-columns layout do not export as Multi-column (export only a one column);
    - Numeric values with parenthesis for negative values or with a fix currency sign at the leftmost position are not exported correctly;
    - Fields having a Suppress formula which is "WhilePrintingRecords" do not appears when exported;
    - Fields with 'Suppress double value' checked are not always suppressed when exported to Text.
    - 'Keep Group Together' flag is not working.
    - 'Reset Page Number After' simply does not works when exported to text;
    - 'Keep object together' on TextBox/Section is not working.
    - Whenever a group is ending on the last line of a page, the the following page as the same Group header as the previous group with no records until the page is filled, then the PageBreak and PageHeader is missing but the records of the following group appears.
    I would like to know what is the status of the 'Export to Text' function (is it a deprecated function not supported anymore???).
    If still supported, when will these bugs be fixed???
    Thanks

    Hi Rene
    Export to Text is supported till date. Crystal Reports 2008 also supports this with Keep together working however when I tried with format with multiple columns, it didnot show up in the exported text file.
    Regards

    You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
    From Readers Digest-February, 2005
    How to Complain
          You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
    Have a goal
    If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
    Keep it short
    Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
    Stick with it
    You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
    Skip ultimatums
    Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
    Plead your case
    Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
    Be nice
    You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
    Good luck.

  • Many problems and questions with CC and PS CC 2014. HELP!!!

    I'm having way too many problems with this whole Creative Cloud system, and PS CC 2014 in particular.
    The courtesy of a response from a qualified Adobe staff member would be greatly appreciated by this long-time loyal patron of Adobe products.
    1. When and why was my membership downgraded from Single App to Photographer?
         I signed up to Single App CC almost a year ago, and am able to access Typekit, 20GB of cloud storage and all the other features of Individual App membership, but not Market Assets. When I attempt to download any CC Market Assets I get a message stating "Market Assets are a premium feature" and "is only available to paid Creative Cloud members".
          I must still be subscribed to Single App because the subscription payment receipt I received a few weeks ago states: "We received payment for your Creative Cloud single-app membership for Photoshop (one-year) subscription, and your membership will renew on 30-July-2014 (PT)".
         The CC website states that Market Assets are not included in the Individual "Photography" subscription level (which seems to be a relatively new category), but I am clearly paying for Single App membership as indicated on my receipt. However, when I check my account, I'm listed as a Photographer subscriber.
         What gives?
    2. Lightroom 5 is no longer listed as "Installed" in CC Apps window.
         I installed Lightroom 5 at Adobe's invitation last fall. Every time there is a CC update, the CC App widow shows that Lightroom 5 is not installed. So, I reinstall it, and the App list behaves properly until the next "update", which de-installs the app again.
         How do I keep Lightroom 5 installed?
    3. My Extensions are not accessible in PS CC 2014
         I migrated my presets from PS CC to PS CC 2014, but the Extensions are still greyed out (Windows>Extensions). I updated Extension Manager and synced the desktop CC app, which downloaded some plug-ins to CC 2014, but not the Adobe Watermark extension (v2.2.3). Also, because Window>Extension is greyed out, I can't access AdobeExchange via CC 2014 to download any possible updates.
         Why can't I access my extensions in PS CC 2004?
    4. CC Files wont stop syncing
         I thought I'd try uploading something to Creative Cloud to see what this storage feature could offer me. CC has been attempting to sync my files for aver a day now, chewing up bandwidth and seriously slowing down my internet connection to other content-dense sites. How do I stop the syncing process? I can pause it, but not stop it. I only have one file (a jpg image) in my Creative Cloud Files, which has a green check mark, so I don't understand what is being synced and why. I toogle syncing off and on again, but all I get is the spinning wheel. I've now turned off syncing, so this feature is now of no use to me.
         What am I doing wrong?
    5. How do I make the previous version of PS CC the default PS app in Mac OS 10.8.5
         How do I deactivate PS CC 2014 as the default PS app?
         My workflow regularly includes the Oil Paint filter and Adobe Watermark extension to produce the images I am currently marketing. Therefore, I prefer to use PS CC v14.2.1, and not PS CC 2004, as my default PS app. Mac OS10.8.5 want to open all my RAW and PSD files in PS CC 2014. I change the "Open With" preference in the "Get Info" window to PS CC 14.2.1, but it immediately reverts to PS CC 2014.
    I have several other issues with the latest CC platform, but lets see if I can get these ones solved before moving forward.
    This whole Creative Cloud process is becoming very frustrating and overly time consuming, and seems to be much more complex than most users need or want (based on the comments and problems I read in this forum).  I like the ongoing bug-fixes and camera/lens support updates, but the whole multi-app, internet-dependent format has gotten out of control, producing more problems than solutions, at least for me. This 2014 update makes it impossible to follow the workflow I've developed over the past several years. PixelBender is complex and non-intuitive, and does not effectively replace the Oil Paint filter. My extensions don't work. And now, the CC app won't let me access all the features I think I'm paying for. It seem to me these recent "upgrades" are half-baked. I've now spent countless hours trying to fix the problems imposed by CC 2014.
    These "Community Discussions" sometimes take days to produce any sort of assistance, helpful or otherwise, and Adobe does not have the decency to offer direct access to customer service personnel to solve these problems.

    I too, have many of the same problems: constantly reminded to "Install" the apps I have already done so (and paid for); Market Assets asks for me to become a paid member (I am); Adobe Bridge is missing from the apps page. I have reinstalled CC several times. Frustrating is the kindest word I can say--I seem to spend more time reading the "help" and discussion boards rather than working on photos. Dear Adobe, wake up and give us some solutions here! I too, have been using Adobe PS for years and UGH! CC is a mess and truly a bad experience for me! I apologize to the user above (RGMeyer) I could not be helpful, rather I am only adding fuel to your frustration.

  • Too many problems-what's wrong with my machine or OS?

    Lately I have had many problems with my computer and am not sure what is the cause. The list is
    - apps crash (primarily pro apps - Final Cut Pro Studio apps)
    - grey crash screen frequently
    - black lines across the screen (video card issue?)
    - sometimes broken looking icons (video card issue?)
    - weird color problems with display (Great condition apple 23" Cinema display)
    - odd asian characters mixed iwth english characters in the restart dialogue box
    - screen will sometimes go black
    - Motion 2.1 makes entire machine slow down (such as moving over dock icons)
    - apps hang for a long time
    - G5 fans spin more
    Incidentally, S.M.A.R.T status is verified on both internal drives, ran disk utility and fixed permissions yielded no problems found, I installed a new Tiger OS (archive and install, saving users and network prefs) and still had the problems, and ran Disk Warrior and still have the problems.
    Any suggestions folks? At my witts end. I want to say the video card could be at fault but how do you know if a video card has problems? is there a card utility like DISK UTILITY?
    My config:
    G5 Dual 2 GHZ/ 4 GB RAM/ two 250 GB SATAs/ Apple 23" Cinema display (last model, not aluminum)/ Apple 17" LCD Studio Display/ WACOM Intuos2/ Blackmagic Decklink Extreme Card/ ATI Radeon 9600 XT (in AGP slot)/ ATI Radeon 9200 (in PCI slot)

  • Mavericks; is Apple never going to do something about its many problems? I've about had it with Mac.

    Mavericks:
    Is Apple never going to do something about Mavericks many problems? I've about had it with Mac and when today's Mavericks update appeared, I declined.
    I updated to Mavericks 6 months ago on my new Macbook Pro and have had nothing but trouble ever since -- despite numerous trips to the Genius Bar. They all act as though It's only my machine yet I'm reading literally hundreds of similar complaints on the Internet. To start:
    1) My machine now "runs" very slow (as in 1980).
    2) Search and Spotlight yield jumbled information.
    3) MAIL and CCONTACTS are near useless with a spinning beachball the norm.
    My Apple store had my machine for 5 days with no loaner! They did a manual rebuild and shrugged their sholders when it still didn't work after all that.
    I have the distinct impression that Time Machine is at the bottom of some of my problems. I've used it to migrate data from my last three machines and I'm seeing some odd stuff from my other machines. In particular, I used an exact Macbook Pro loaned by a client after my last Mac crashed (I was backed up) and I'm seeing their grayed out login ID autoentered when I try to update Imovie and so I cannot log into my apple account.
    I've used Mac since 1995 when the first SE came out and I'm very tech oriented. I can only wonder how frustrated the lay used might be. Any thoughts out there? 

    Supply information about your Mac (guessing is no use)
    Download and run Etrecheck, post the output here

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!

    That is the point of a beta version.
    Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. "

  • Many Problems with Ipod! Need Help =[

    Ey um there has been lots of issues with my Ipod!! (5th gen 30gigs)
    Conditions:
    -Ipod skips songs when playing(the songs arn't corrupted)
    -Ipod freezes occasionally when viewing photos or playing music
    -Ipod at times wont show on itunes 7
    -When Ipod has connected to computer, and shown in Itunes, Itunes call my Ipod “Ipod” when it is supposed to be called “RnA”(and it won’t restore…Either my computer freezes or it would go on 4evr but not restore)
    -When trying to turn on Ipod, a msg appears “Use Itunes to restore” When I plug and connect to Itunes, It says This Ipod needs to be reformatted for your pc. ( when I press update, my computer freezes, or would take forevr…and not update
    -When I try to restore my Ipod my computer freezes or it would take forevr but not work
    My questions:
    -I bought my Ipod during the summer, and it was bought online from my dad, but he accidentally threw receipt away…Can I still replace my Ipod? Or find repairs?
    -Where is the nearest Apple store in SanFrancisco?! I can’t find any!
    -HOW DO I FIX MY IPOD?! T.T
    What Happened:
    Ok, last month, my Ipod was working perfectly until one day it froze… So I reset it. But after a few days when I connect my Ipod to my computer, it charges and everything is fine, but when I click disconnect Ipod on Itunes, or Disconnect when using Safely Remove Hardware…It works but then my Ipod still says Do not disconnect. But I disconnected it anyway and reset it. And it was working. And I have been having this problem a lot wen I updated to Itunes 7.
    Then 2-3 weeks later, my Ipod started having many problems… It would skip songs even though my songs aren’t corrupted… And when I look at photos, It would freeze for around 20 seconds, and my Ipod turns laggy. So I reset it and it’s ok but then it happened again the next day. And these problems kept going on but I ignored it T.T
    And now, I can’t use my Ipod at all! It says I need to use itunes to restore…So when I connect it to my computer, It would appear on Safely remove hardware, but Itunes would pop up and have no Ipod in it. So I tried disconnecting and reconnecting around 5 times. Then it worked! Except, Itunes call my Ipod “Ipod” wen it is supposed to be called RnA. And I try to restore it but it wont work! Please help me! ASAP! T.T and thanks!
    Ipod with video (5th Gen) with 30 gigs   Windows XP  

    Please don't shake it. It has a hard drive in it and by doing that you may damage the heads. That is the clack noise the heads hitting the platter. Not a good thing.
    Go here to start a service request.

    They will send you a box pre-paid to send it back in with. If you need a copy of your receipt Amazon customer service should be able to help. I have never been asked for one but you never know. If you have the packing slip from amazon? This can be used as a proof of purchase.
