Multiple Icons On iPod

When I plug my iPod into my computer, first pops up the Apple Logo, then a sad iPod with an exclamation, and then it goes blank. Shortly thereafter, a sharge symbol comes up. When I plug it into my charger, the sad iPod comes up. Then when I try to plug it into my computer, the battery comes up. It stays like that for a while, then repeats with the logo and sad iPod.
On top of that, it is not recognized in Windows OR iTunes. Is there anything I can do without having to go somewhere and get it looked at?

Okay. Nevermind. I read up on another topic and this what I found. Kill8Joy figured out how to fix it. This guy is a genius:
"I have had ALL of these issues on my G4 iPod. The sad face, the clicking sound, the exclamation mark with folder, my Mac doesn't read my iPod...etc.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION:
If you've tried everything to solve this problem, your warranty is up and you're thinking about sending it in for repair for $300, do what I did: take the matter into your own hands.
What I finally decided to do was;
1) open up my iPod (google instructions on how to do this)
2) carefully openned the back (like a book. don't pull the back right off - there are things connected to it)
3) found the little (tiny) reset button on the HDD - found a pin and pressed it down for 10-15 seconds
4) watched in awe as my iPod went throught a resetting process where the Apple logo shows up with a progress bar (twice - which is a good sign)
5) I ran an iPod Updater and restored it
All this took me about 20 minutes and I saved $300.
This is THE "if all els fails" solution.
Good luck!

  • Our family has multiple products from IPods, IPads, IMac, and Apple TV. However, we made a mistake when registering them so that we seem to have at least two different ITunes accounts. How do I combine them or reset the accounts to make them one?

    Over the years we have purchased multiple products from IPods, IPads, to IMacs. Unfortunately, along the way, we accidentally created more than one ITunes accounts so that we can only access some songs etc on certain devices and not on others. How do we reset our devices to create one account or transfer our music to one account?

    You don't. You cannot combine iTunes accounts at this time. Pick the one that you want to use and stick to that one account for all the purchases.

  • How to Insert Multiple Icons in a Canvas?

    Hi All
    I am new to MIDlets so I need some initial help related to UI generation in MIDlets.

    These Icon should behave like button i.e. all Icon must have key-pressed event separately(i.e.
    when any particular Icon will be selected(positioned whatever) some action will be performed.
    same like in smart phone a single screen contains multiple icon for multiple operations to be

    Is it possible in single canvas or I have to make multiple canvas for each icons?

  • Multiple Icon on Jtable header

    Hi All:
    Any one had used multiple icons on JTable header ? According to the user's clicking positon under one column, one of these icons should change such as changing from sorting up arrows to sorting down arrows.
    I got the mouse clicking position on the header and column, then depend on the location, I wanted to perfrom different things. But I have not figured out if I should call header renderer to perform the repaint or not ? If I use JTable header render, how should I confine the one column that change should happen? I don't want to have all columns repainted. If I treat each column indivisually, should I reconstruct the JTable ? I used SortableTableModel to create the JTable.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Regards

    Here's the idea. I didn't test thisclass JComponentCellRenderer extends JButton implements TableCellRenderer {
        public JComponentCellRenderer (ImageIcon ii) { super("",ii); }
        public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
            boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
            setText(value.toString());
            return this;
    }and thentblChanges.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setHeaderRenderer(new JComponentCellRenderer(new ImageIcon( "CheckBoxHeaderImage" )));

  • Changing multiple icons?

    Hi,
    Is there a way I can change multiple icons of folders, subfolders and their content?
    I have all my music on an ext. HD, with it organised into artists>album>songs and a similar setup on another HD for video files with organisation being TV show>season>episodes. I would like all audio files and folders to have the same icon and all video files and folders the same as well.
    Is there anyway I can do this without the labour intensive task of opening each folder, going ot the the "Get Inf" for each file or folder within it and pasting my preferred icon??
    Thanks
    E

    You can do it with just the OS.
    First, copy the icon you want to use to the Clipbioard (Command-C).
    Then open a folder containing files which you want to change. Slect all the ones you want to have the icon on the Clipboard; if it's all the ones in the folder, just press Command A.
    Then press Command-I (Get Info) without clicking on one of the selected files. A single Get Info window will open, showing the number of files selected as the 'name'.
    Click the icon at the top of that Get Info window, press Command-V (Paste), and in a few seconds all the selected files will display the same icon, the one you had copied to the Clipboard.
    Folder icons - I would do those individually, unless you have hundreds. You can, of course, experiment with the same technique with a bunch of those.

  • Strange Icon (Sad Ipod) won't respond

    My Ipod first froze when I chose a song last night. Now when I turn it on, the ipod shows the apple icon. After a few seconds of the apple icon and some "clicking" noises (as if the hard drive keeps on trying to restart), the strange icon (Sad Ipod) shows up. Whenever I try to restart, put into disk mode, and reset my ipod, the same strange icon shows up. I tried to restore my Ipod by plugging it in my laptop but "iPod updater" keeps on telling me that I need to plug my ipod in.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your sad iPod icon and whirring/clicking sounds issue is most likely related to your iPod’s hard drive being out of place or corrupt in some way. You may want to get your iPod’s hard drive replaced, but before that, let’s try some things with your iPod.
    Have you checked out these links about your issue?
    The Sad iPod icon
    Sad iPod icon(post)
    Exclamation point and folder/The Sad iPod icon
    Have you tried resetting your iPod?

    Have you also checked out the "iPod 101" info about this? It's a great place to start with Sad iPod issues:

    You are not addressing Apple here. We are all just users like yourself. Based on previous updates, I would not expect anymore update for the 4G.

  • "Connect to iTunes" icon on iPod Touch 2G???

    On Wednesday I upgraded to OS 3.0 on my 16 GB iPod Touch 2G. Everything was working fine until this afternoon when I turned on my iPod to read an e-book that I had been reading earlier and there was a black screen with an icon of a USB plug and an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. I tried shutting down completely. It didn't help. I tried charging it with a wall plug. (I was at work and couldn't get to iTunes.) It didn't help.
    When I got home I connected it to my MacBook and ITunes, it synced and all seems to be well now, but what the heck happened? Is this a sign I have a problem lurking in the background? (And, no, it's not a jailbroken iPod and never has been.) I bought it new, I'm the only user, and it's worked flawlessly until this.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Judie

    Have you had this happen before? I haven't. I tried googling "Connect to iTunes icon for iPod Touch" and there were a couple of posts but I sensed that those folks had it happen on a jailbroken iPod.
    Did you upgrade to the new iPhone OS 3.0?
    I'm hoping someone that knows what caused this will reply so that maybe we can prevent it from happening again. It sure was a helpless feeling when I couldn't get to iTunes while at work. Now I feel like I can't depend on the iPod to always work properly.

  • 30g vid ipod froze, now showing multiple icons and unable to restart

    today while mowing the lawn (which i listen to music doing) my ipod froze. i dropped it on the grass earlier, and there wasn't any dirt on it but i got worried I restart it with menu+select and then the ipod/support sad face pops up. so i finish mowing the lawn, go inside and plug my ipod into my computer naturally to see if it pops up. Well, my ipod restarts itself, the support icon shows up again, and then the charging icon pops up, replacing the sadface ipod. The charging battery logo will blink a couple of times and after a minute or so it restarts again, sadface, charge, and goes the process again! The funny thing is, that there was plenty of battery life when i was listening to it!! over half for sure. I've only had my ipod for 3 months and it has a good case. only been dropped twice. i'm very upset with this and i'd appreciate some help . maybe it needs some charging but i realy need some advice.
    thanks

    Try keeping it plugged into your computer for awhile, I had a similar problem and it just took time to resolve. If all else fails, restore your ipod.

  • Help on syncing multiple calendars with iPod Touch 4g 64g

    In our university, we use iCal with Blackboard. Also, our main *email* is Entourage - pretty sure it's the most recent version for Mac. 
    How can we sync the Entourage calendar with iCal, and be sure that they are all merged and 2-way functional for the iPod touch and laptops (I know for multiple computers we'll have to set up home sharing - for now let's just focus on the calendar syncing). 
    I have instructions for syncing Entourage with iPod Touch, and it's been recommended to use Google to sync with iCal (thanks llllass) but we don't want to use Google or MobileMe to get to iCal.  iCal is already built into the iPod Touch, as I'm sure you know.
    Any advice on how to make this super simple?
    Thanks in advance.

    My first suggestion is to try Stanza, as it is a much more configurable ebook reader.  You can use the
    Calibre (ebook management/conversion utility) to transfer ebooks from your computer to your iPod Touch.
    <http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30657/calibre>
    Looking at iBooks on my iPod Touch, my font selection and font size are only present when I have an ebook open.  If I tap the center of a page, the top edge of the screen has
    Library | Table of Contents | Brightness | aA (font size, and font selection) | Search | Bookmark
    Where the aA icon brings up a control that has a small a and a large A.  If I tap on the large A, each tap increases the font size until it gets REALLY BIG.  Tapping on teh small a reduces the font size for each tap.
    Landscape lock.  OK for the iPod Touch as a whole, you put the iPod Touch in the orientation you desire, then you quick double-tap on the home button.  This will bring up a list of your running apps.  Now slide the list to the right, and you will see music controls as well as on the far left a screen lock button.  Tap the screen lock button to lock your iPod Touch in its current orientation.  Unlock it later when you want your iPod Touch to be able to rotae again.
    NOTE:  Stanza as an ebook reader, it has its own configuration control that locks Stanza into a specific orientation, independent of the iPod Touch orientation or the iPod Touch orientation lock.  Another reason I like Stanza.
    Wallpaper.  I think you can only change it to something else.  Settings -> Wallpaper, then tap on the screen you want to change.  Now select a different Wallpaper from either the Wallpaper selections, or anything in your Camera Roll, or your Photo Library.

  • Multiple devices (iPads & iPods) on one Apple ID - questions

    OK, here are my questions.  Any help/advice would be appreciated as I'm only a recent Apple convert (after 30 years of refusing to buy Apple!):
    a)  Can I manage my entire family's devices (4; 2 iPads + 2 iPod Touch's) with a single Apple ID (which also happens to be my email address)?
    b)  If I do this, do I just need to pay for any app once, and the whole family can use it on their respective devices simultaneously?  (I come from the Microsoft/PC world where it's always 1 user at a time per license - such as MSOffice)
    c)  Can we play multiplayer games via wi-fi, bluetooth, or gamecenter/OpenFeint, etc. using our 'single purchased' app on each device?  I'm talking about games like Dungeons 2 HD, Words with Friends, etc.  Note that each device may have a different version (HD, universal, iPhone/iPod only, iPad only, etc.).
    d)  What about more expensive business type apps like Documents to Go or even the IOS version of MS Office 2010?  Can these be shared and used by all devices with just one purchase?
    e)  What happens to apps like Messaging, FaceTime, or iCloud?  If the 4 devices are all signed on under 1 Apple ID, can we each communicate separately...and simultaneously?  If someone messages my daughter, I don't want to get the message on my iPad, etc.  How do we retain our Messaging-specific identity?  FaceTime?  iCloud space?
    f)  If I re-register one of the devices (my wife's) that's currently on her own Apple ID over to my Apple ID, what happens to her previously purchased apps (under her current Apple ID)?
    g)  Are in-app purchases also "shared" by every device linked to a single Apple ID?
    h) When I synch each device to iTunes after they're linked to a single Apple ID, will the synch try to install every app that we 'collectively' purchase...instead of just the ones we each want on our device?  Will the synch also attempt to download every song and video which may be on the iTunes account?
    LOTS of questions, but I'm still a newbie to the wonderful Apple ecosystem.  Although I was totally skeptical at first, if in fact multiple users within a household can use an app purchased just once, this is a HUGE plus over the whole PC/Microsoft and even Android ecosystem!!  But before I flip the switch and move the other devices over to a single Apple ID (mine), I'd like to hear from some of you who have some definitive answers.  Any DISadvantages to running all 4 devices from a single Apple ID?  I'm also a bit confused as to the linkage between an Apple ID and an email address, as well as the hierarchy/relationship between an Apple ID and an iTunes account.
    Thanks in advance!

    Answers that I know :
    a, yes - I have an iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch linked to my account on the same computer/iTunes and haven't had any problems with it
    b, you only need to purchase the app once, it can then be copied onto all your devices. Some of my apps are on all three of my devices. If you get newspapers or magazines then I believe that some only allow one download of each magazine/newspaper, so you may not be able to have them on each device.
    c, as long as you have your own Game Center accounts then you should be able to - I've never used it
    d, yes, you can have them on all your devices, you don't need to multi-purchase them
    e, I think that you will each need your own email address for them - in Settings > iMessage you can link an email address with messaging, and similarly for FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) - that way messages/calls will only go to the correct person. Using FaceTime ; there is also some info on the built-in apps in iPad's manual and iPod's manual
    f, all content purchased via an iTunes account is tied to that account, and they cannot be copied or transferred to a different account. So any content purchased on your wife's account will remain tied to her account. You can have more than one iTunes account authorised on a computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer), so you can have her content as well as yours on the computer that you sync to.
    g, don't know, I've not made any in-app purchase
    h, with the device connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the tabs on the right-hand side you can control what is synced to that device. Those selections should then be remembered each time you re-connect that device, so you can have different selections for each device and you shouldn't have to re-do the selection each time you connect it.

  • Sync multiple lobraries with iPod color 60GB

    I posted this issue in the iPod forum, but received no advice. Hopefully someone here can help:
    I have over 25,000 photos and use several iPhoto libraries to manage and organize them. One library lives on my Powerbook 17" hard drive and the others are on external FW800 drives.
    Because I take so many photos away from home, I usually import photos to my Powerbook library temporarily, then transfer them to one of the other libraries I have on the external HDs in my studio and delete them from the PB.
    One library consists only of photos I have taken for a client, another contains family photos, a third one is abstract and artistic photos, a fourth is all antique cars, a fifth all nudes, etc...
    I would like to be able to include some photo albums from each library on my 60G iPod Color. Is there a way to do this without combining all of my photos into the same library?
    I guess what I am asking is: is it possible to get photos from multiple libraries on the same iPod at the same time? if so, how?
    If not, is there a way for me to create an iPhoto library that consists of photo aliases (I don't want to import duplicates of the photos to include on the iPod) and then use that library to sync with the iPod?

    HI Rich, an ipod can only be associated with one iPhoto Library. You can however have it sync photos from a folder on your hard drive. this would entail sharing 'exporting images from each of your libraries and putting them all in a folder on one computer. Then set up the iPod preferences in iTunes to use this folder for the photos.
