My 60 gb Ipod worked great till last night (4/23/06) now... not so much

ok, maybe somebody can help me with this... cause as much as I doubt it, it could be a software issue...
I went to update with the nifty Ipod Updater app. last night and it said that the was a "disk read error, cannot read or write to disk."
then my Ipod (which had worked flawlessly up till that point) displayed the little caution/exclamation point sign. It will display nothing more, the updater app won't do anything with it, itunes doesn't recoginze it. I have gone through every single step on the support page 10 times for all three of my USB ports, and the guy from the Geek Squad at BestBuy just looked at me and shrugged (largely cause I won't be here in a week therefore it is pointless for me to give it to them for fixing).
On the off chance that there is some kind of software fix that I can try, i'd really like to know.

Want to know how Apple will get 20 hours out of their 60GB iPods batteries ?
They'll fill it with music and fully charge it (of course), then get it to play continuously (probably on random/shuffle or something similar) until the battery dies. They'll have the screen off all that time and they simply won't touch it, in an attempt to get the longest time they can.
ie. it won't simulate real-life use !
Few other things worth mentioning :
- Battery life whilst playing videos is only 3 hours total, so playing any videos at all is going to make quite a difference
- The battery life indicator is only a rough guide - it's not accurate
- Don't get too obsessed with 'calibrating' the battery. Accoring to Apple, this isn't necessary because ""lithium-ion batteries, such as those used in iPod, have none of the memory effects seen in nickel-based rechargeable batteries."

CS5 Premiere was working perfectly until last night... Now not responding. Any solutions?

Hey all,
So, for the past month I've had no problems editing with premiere. Then last night while editing on a much smaller project than normal, (same file types) the program started slowing down, considerably. Now, any keystroke puts the program into "not responding" and it takes minutes to select clips. I've restarted the computer, program, and looked at my cpu usage in the task manager. While the program is running, and then not responding, the computer is not stressing at all, 14% cpu, 31% memory.
Im running an i7 [email protected], 8gb ram, with ati hd 5770.
What i dont understand is why I've had no issues until last night, and now I cant use the product at all. My After Effects still works fine at least.
Any one else have this issue or know of a fix?

Along with TClark's questions, try doing a New Project, and test it out.
There have been reports of Project files bloating, and then not working properly. Adobe is working on that. Seems that many/most/all of those came with CS4 Projects converting to CS5. Was there any CS4 to CS5 conversion anywhere in this workflow?
Good luck,
Hunt

I have had my iPad for six months and it has worked great till last week then the video cuts out and goes green

Question, video cut in and out and goes green?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

If not successful try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an old ipod. It worked great until about 2 months ago and now it says I need to restore my ipod but I can't unless I format it, but everytime I try, it says the format could not be completed. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work again?

No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything.

My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything. It used to do this thing where it would freeze when it was 100% charged and plugged in and I was using it. I'd just unplug it, restart it (home button and top button) and then it would be fine. That had happened like 5 hours prior to me plugging it in again and then it going totally blank.

Try:

You'll have to get it serviced by Apple, you'll have to pay for the replacement device:

Leo,
You may try the list (5) being less likely).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How do I fix my audio/video in iChat 4.0.9? it has worked perfectly until last night.

How do I fix my audio/video in iChat 4.0.9? it has worked perfectly until last night. I have been having video calls iChat with my granddaughter for 4 weeks. All of a sudden last night I wasn't able to complete the video/audio. We were able to iChat with writing. The message I got was to go to connection doctor.
The error log -
2011-04-24 19:33:43 -0400: No data has been received for the last 10 seconds.
Audio channel info: local machine using 10.0.1.2:16402, expecting remote machine to send to 69.138.244.124:58521
Video channel info: local machine using 10.0.1.2:16402, expecting remote machine to send to 69.138.244.124:58521
Every time we tried to connect I got the same error message.
I use an airport extreme - my granddaughter has some kind of wifi - but the error was on my side not hers as she connected to her friends.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi - I have a cable modem from comcast.
I am not sure I understand all your questions, suggestions - so I will copy what I have when I go into the airport utility under internet.
Do you have four tabs (You may have less) I HAVE 4 TABS
In the First tab what does it read at the Bottom ? AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST TAB (INTERNET CONNECTION) IT DOES SAY "SHARE A PUBLIC IP" WHEN I LOOK AT THAT SETTING - I COULD CLICK INSTEAD BRIDGE MODE OFF, OR DISTRIBUTE A RANGE OF IP ADDRESSES. BUT FOR NOW THE ONE THAT IT IS ON IS THE SHARE A PUBLIC IP.
"Share a Public IP" ?
Or "Bridge (Off) Mode" ?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE INFO BELOW. I ALSO HAVE UNDER THE INTERNET CONNECTION TAB - CONNECT USING ETHERNET AND ETHERNET WAN PORT AUTOMATIC (DEFAULT)
THE 2ND TAB IS TCP/IP AND THERE IT LISTS CONFIGURE IPv4: USING DHCP
IP ADDRESS: 69.138.244.124
SUBNET MASK 255.255.248.0
ROUTER ADDRESS 69.138.240.1
DNS SERVER 68.87.73.246 AND 68.87.71.230 (THESE ARE FILLED IN THE BOXES AND NOT CHANGEABLE.
THE 3RD TAB IS DHCP
DHCP BEGINNING ADDRESS 10.0 .1 .2
DHCP ENDING ADDRESS 10.0.1.200
DHCP LEASE IS 1 THEN DAY
4TH TAB NAT
CHECKED IS ENABLE NAT PORT MAPPING PROTOCOL
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS AIRPORT EXTREME FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR.
THE ONLY DIFFERENT ISSUE IS THAT I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AND USED MY DAUGHTER'S AIRPORT EXTREME LAST WEEK. I HAVE NO IDEA ANY OF THAT INFO - BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE AIRPORT EXTREME LISTED IN THE UTILITY IS THE ONE AT MY HOME THAT I AM WITH NOW.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TRY TO HELP ME. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
JUDY
Between that drop down and the tabs should be the info on how it connects to the Modem.
It may list that Puiblic IP.
It may list another LAN IP (one from the Modem)
Does it start 192.168....
Or 172.16 (or up to 172.32....)
Or possibly another 10.... number ?
If the modem is issuing IPs to the LAN there are two things that can effect things
One is the fact the computer gets two IPs (even though the mac can only display one)
And If you used Port Forwarding in the Modem the Place (IP/Computer or device) that it was pointing to may not be the Airport Base Station any more.
