  • When syncing the ipod nano 4 gen., Itunes shuts down. Drivers are updated,  what could be the issue?

    You would be better off posting in the iTunes for Windows forum area since your issue is with that rather than an iPod Nano.

  • My brand new 6th gen ipod nano keeps shutting down after about 30 seconds?

    My new 6th generation ipod nano keeps shutting down after 30 seconds. It has been registered with itunes and has about 200+ songs on it. I have not tried to reset it because i was not sure what this would do. Please help!

    This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure you cannot see any silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  It may require a little extra force to get the headphones to become fully inserted.  You should hear a sort of clicking noise indicating that they have been fully seated.
    Also check the headphone port from a damage or debris.

  • Blue screen wont shut down

    help..my imac wont shut down from the pull down menu - just goes to blue screen ?

    Hold the power button in until the iMac turns off.

  • Finder wont shut down

    Talk about good software. Leopard is so good it wont shut down. literally. I have a new intel Mac5 about a year old.
    I have to press the power button to shut down every time. I have archived and install over 3 times now. Shut down all my third party stuff. Have the latest update.
    I've heard that it doesn't hurt the computer to shut it down manually with the power button until I can come up with a fix.
    any suggestion would be "greatly" appreciated.
    i will wash your dishes for 4 years every other weekend (twice) when the eclipse of the moon is seen by 56% of the human population under 13. thanks

    Shutting down with the Power button is definitely not safe, it could cause damage to your hard drive. This may be why you've had to Archive and Install three times.
    The most common cause of shut down problems is an application or process that refuses to quit. There can be many causes for that such as an incompatible application, a runaway process, cache or preference file corruption, log file corruption. Even an incompatible peripheral could be the cause.
    I'd suggest doing a couple of things. First, try booting into safe mode and see if you are able to shut down normally. Second, create a new user account. Log out of your account and into the new one. See if you can shut down normally.
    Repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Perform some maintenance:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.
    OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    8. Data Backup (Commercial)
    9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
    10. MimMac (Commercial)
    11. CloneTool Hatchery (Shareware)
    12. Clone X (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.

  • My ipod touch completely shut down after i tried to update the software. It won't respond at all. Any advice?

    Hi, I was updating my apple software and my ipod touch completely shut down. I got an error message that my ipod touch could not be restored. what the ????
    please help. it wont start at all, no power. itunes doesn't even recognize it anymore.

    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.  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."

  • Wont shut down  completely

    I have a powerbook g4 1.67. And it wont shut down all the way when I try to. It just goes to my desktop screen and the little timer thing goes in circles in the middle of the screen. Tried hitting shut down today and it said it will shut down in 60 seconds if I do nothing. So I walked away and came back about 5 hours later and it still was doing that (screen had turned off but when I hit the enter button it went back to that screen).
    Does anyone know whats wrong with my machine?

    First off make sure that you force power down as Klayman42 did by pressing and holding down the power button until the Good Ol' Powerbook shuts down. Then try the suggestions that I made for Klayman42 in this thread:

  • I-pod nano wont shut down

    Hi,
    Try restoring the iPod touch, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Do you have any 3rd-party firewall software on your Mac? Another user, Luc, describes a similar issue caused by firewall software here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10499334#10499334
    If the issues resolved by disabling the security software, it probably just needs to be reconfigured.

  • IMac wont shut-down

    Hi folks,
    i`ve got an Intel iMac 24 inch 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X 10.4.11 installed. Very often the iMac wont shut-down. When i choose the shut-down command from the Apple menu the Finder quits, the Icons on the desktop, the Dock and the Menu bar disappear. Then the screen turns blue and i see the grey spinning wheel but it wont go further. I always have to disconnect the power cord to shut-down my iMac. Here is what the system.log says:

    Perhaps this is an app booting on launch that's not helping matters. Here are some ways of preventing items from opening automatically ...
    If the login window appears when you start up your computer, hold down the Shift key and click the Login button. Continue to hold down the Shift key until you see the Dock.
    If you don’t see the login window when you start up your computer, hold down the Shift key when you see the progress bar in the startup window. Continue holding down the key until your desktop appears and the startup completely finishes.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Accounts. Select an administrator’s account, and the click Login Items. If any unwanted items appear in the list of items that open automatically, select the item and click the Delete - button.
    You could try resetting the SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
