My Ipod classic is corrupted and I only get the red X on the screen...Cannot move to any other screens. Any ideas on fixing without paying Applw?

Unfortunately there isn't. A Red X is usually an indicator that the HDD has failed, if you are unable to restore the device using iTunes and also not able to reformat using windows prior to restoring then a hardware repair is needed. If your iPod is out of warranty then the pricing you pay is to have the iPod replaced not repaired. You're looking at 129.00 - 179.00 plus shipping depending on the gen.

Frozen iPod classic with lock and battery images on the screen

When I unlocked my iPod classic while listening to music, everything stopped, and i got an image on the screen of the time when this happened (6:30), a lock image below it on the left, and a black horizontal battery on the right. The iPod won't work now, whether locked/unlocked or whether connected/unconnected to my PC/iTunes. What, if anything is the fix?

Have you tried just a hard reset yet? To do this, first make sure the hold switch is toggled to the off position, then press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Make an appointment at the genius bar.
If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

Yeah it seems to be fine although I'm a bit reluctant to fire it up with the Mac just incase. Thanks for the response btw

How can I download the English version of Firefox? I'm in Sweden and I only get the Swedish version offered.

I want to install Firefox 8.0 on my computer. I'm located in Sweden and I only get the Swedish version offered when I follow the download link. I've tried to search for other language versions, but I can't find any links to alternative downloads.

'''''Swarnava's''''' link will most likely get you the localized language version based on your physical location.
Download from the following to choose your OS and interface language:
*https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Also see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox
*Also see: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+troubleshooting#Clean_reinstall
**When uninstalling Firefox, be sure during the uninstall procedure that the box to "remove your personal information" (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) is NOT checked.

I tried to download some photos from a corrupted CD and now every time I try to open iPhoto the frame pops up but nothing will load. I just get the spinning color wheel. Any ideas???

I tried to download some photos from a corrupted CD and now every time I try to open iPhoto the frame pops up but nothing will load. I just get the spinning color wheel. Any ideas???

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Very doubtful, but if you have insurance, you would need to talk to them regarding replacement and any deductible you may have to pay.

HT1725 Hi, I'm pretty new to itunes. I bought a song and it downloaded, but will only play the first 3 seconds? Any idea how I get it to play the rest of the tune?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

An insect got behind the screen of my MacBook and has since died, leaving a black dot on the screen. As this is a sealed unit the insect cannot be removed, any ideas.

I believe your only option will be to get Apple to replace the screen for you, which won't be cheap. If the machine is still covered under warranty, you could try to push the case that the screen must be defective for a bug to get in there. Apple has been known to do free out-of-warranty service in some pretty unbelievable circumstances, that that is at their discretion, so be very pleasant and polite so they'll like you and want to help you out. But be prepared to have to pay for the repair.
Good luck!

I disabled my iPhone 4 and while doing a restore via iTunes, it is downloading and timing out so the download is not completing. any idea how to get past that? I have tried many times and the same error keeps happening.

You need to force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

Hi user 1724, before icloud, we had the same issue....
so yes, the solution was to each log into the mac separately.
i kept the main itunes library and apple id, and my son made his own itunes library (which linked to the main itunes/apple id) - so we were able to maintain separate contacts lists.
but then w/ the cloud i guess we assumed the cloud would know we each have different contact lists on diff. phones, but it seems the cloud just lumped it all together -

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.
