My iPod Classic (the older version) will only start up, what to do?

My iPod Classic (older version) will only start up but as soon as it starts up it turns itself off again and it makes quite a loud clicking sound when it turns itself off, I have had it plugged in for quite a while and in the first 30 minutes of having it plugged in it said very low battery but then turned itself off, I have tried resetting it with the menu and the middle button and I can't connect it the computer that it has been synced with either, I really need my iPod and I really don't know what to do to fix it, is it the battery or the cable or something small like that? I'm not sure whether it is charging from the wall socket either.

- After being connected tot a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect the iPod to your computer and and if it shows in iTunes restore the iPOd.
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Sorry I missed that you said you dried it in your first post.

  • Tried updating firefox but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re-install the older version will my bookmarks still be there?

    Tried updating firefox but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re-install the older version will my bookmarks still be there?

    Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6.
    Firefox 16 is the last version that runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5.
    You would have to update to OS X 10.6 to be able to use current Firefox releases.
    Last Firefox for Mac OS X 10.5:

  • Can't update my Ipod classic's software. My Window's Vista Home Edition will not load the latest version of Itunes, and the older versions will not allow my Ipod to connect to the update server

    I have an Ipod Classic, 80 gig. It's over 3 years old. I have a Samsung SensR410 laptop, also over 3 years old, running Vista Home Premium 32bit but '64bit Compatible'
    I had iTunes 8.
    One day my Ipod stopped working.
    I formatted it.
    I uninstalled iTiunes.
    I re-installed iTunes.
    But the latest version would not be loaded on my PC. I chose English as the language, but because I bought my laptop in Korea, some parts of the installation were in Korea. I uninstalled it, following the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    I re-installed iTunes 8. It loaded, but when I plugged in my Ipod, it said that the Ipod needed to be updated/restored, 'click to contact updater' but then it could not contact the server. I tried: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1814but it didn't help.
    I tried downloading iTunes 9, it loaded, but the Ipod would not connect.
    Help, please!

    Hi Edward,
    You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

  • Hi, my computer's too old to download 3.6.24 and it says that the older version will stop being supported soon, so how can I continue to use Firefox, I can't afford a new computer? It crashes a lot too, I've been told that's because it's old too.

    It seems to crash after a period of time and then will keep crashing constantly if I keep trying to open up Firefox. It does the same with Safari. It's a mac running on 10.5.8. Is it possible to download and use older versions of Firefox? Help! Please.

    There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
    To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
    Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
    Hope this helps. 

  • New ipod classic. the usb cable will not disconnect. totally stuck

    We have done everything we were supposed to do. as far as pressing eject and then squeezing the sides. The cable is totally stuck in the ipod. I don't want to use more force than we are using. This is our third ipod. We know how these should disconnect.

    That font color is almost unreadable, please use another.
    Your iPod Classic almost certainly is not USB, but FireWire
    USB
    FireWire
    I know this because the USB (type A) socket has not changed since it came out and early iPods were FireWire, not USB>

  • I have upgraded to newer version of labview, and the older versions of LavVIEW are now piling up. Can I uninstall the older versions? if yes how?

    Do I have to keep all the old versions of LabVIEW as I did not uninstall the older versions, but only downloaded the latest version of labview from the website and installed it. A new version and icon is installed on my PC now. What can I do?

    You asked "Do I have to keep all the old versions...". Of course not. You can do whatever you want. Each version of LabVIEW installs in its own directory, which is what allows you to keep multiple versions installed in case you need to support programs written in earlier version that cannot be upgraded yet for whatever reason. Conflicts may arise if you install older versions later than new ones and you install the libraries for the hardware interfaces like VISA and such. Older versions of these libraries sometimes cause problems with newer versions of LabVIEW.
    If you do not want multiple versions, common practice is to completely uninstall the current version before installing the new one. If you have more than two versions but only want the latest, simply uninstall the older ones from the main NI installer. Depending on how old the versions are that you are uninstalling something with the new one may break so you may need to repair that installation. You may just want to simply uninstall all NI software and then just do a clean install of the latest version. That will likely be your best course of action.

    What do you mean it isn't' compatible?  What isn't compatible?
    There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or iTunes account.  Simply connect each separate iPod/iPhone to your computer and configure each to sync whatever content you wish to.

  • My app store won't let me download none of the older versions of apps for my ipod touch 2g.

    My app store won't let me download any of the older versions of an app, but in my sisters case she can and she has an ipod touch 2g just like me. She was able to download kik, twitter, instagram, and some more apps that told me I had to have ios 4.3.1 or higher to download. and theres only one app I want and its kik, can someone help me figure out whats wrong with my app store, it would be a great help.

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box no go

    My Safari will not allow me to open my Google calendar with Google Apps. I have to open my email with the older version of Google Apps. This happened after I installed 5.1.4. I tried to use the fix of changing to 64 bit by unchecking the 32 bit box but that didnt help.

    I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses).  For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
    For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

  • I accidentally deleted Garageband on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8.  The new version of Garageband is only compatible with 10.9 and above.  Is it possible to still get the older version?  OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD  for my computer

    I accidentally deleted GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8.  The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.  Is it possible to still get the older version?  OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?

    The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.
    If your Mac can run MacOS X 10.6.8, it probably can be upgraded to Yosemite, if you don't have to stick to Snowleopard for other reasons.
    Is it possible to still get the older version?
    Amazon or eBay are still selling iLife '11 installer disks, and you could reinstall GarageBand from these DVDs. But it will be expensive.
    Have you checked your backups, if you can restore GarageBand from a backup?
    OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
    Sometimes the AppleStore Support will replace missing installer CDs for a fee.

    The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1.  I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success.  Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • How do I select a playlist to copy onto my devices?  On the older version, I could click on each list, then check "sync only checked playlists" and I'd have different playlists on different devices.  How do I do it with this version?  Thank you!

    How in 12.1.0.50 can I select a playlist to copy onto my devices from my iMac?  On the older version, I could click on each list, then check "sync only checked playlists" and I'd have different playlists on different devices (iPhone 6, iPod nano).  How do I do it with this version?  Thank you!

    Same way.
    Select the device, click Music tab and select the playlists to sync.

  • Bridge 6.1.0.115 will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Unfortunately, I upgraded to the new version. How do I revert to the older version that works with Mac OS 10.6.8?

    Is there a way to download the previous or older version of Bridge CC. The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.

    The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.
    The easiest way would be to update to at least 10.7.5 (supported on most older Macs) but maybe you have strong reasons not to do so, however it will put you in to more trouble in the future because newer applications have more often the habit of not being able to support older OS versions due to limitations of this old OS.
    Here is the announcement of Adobe:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/moving-ahead-with-mac-os-x-10-7-and-higher/
    However PS CC should still work on your system and otherwise CS6 should. As a cloud subscriber you still have access to both CC and CS6 on the Adobe CC download pages. But only PS is a major upgrade (changed to version 2014) and Bridge has just a minor update and should still work on 10.6.8 I would think?
    Installing the updates and upgrades did not remove or uninstall the CC versions of PS, otherwise use CC application to install CC again.

    I have an I Pod Nano and would get messages to update my software.  In my I Tunes I have 1,900 songs but after the updates it will only sync 933 songs.  My current software version is 1.0.2.  What am I doing wrong or is it something in the software.  I have not done anything different in my I Tunes and all songs are checked.  Could someone please help or advise me what to do?

    Thank you Gail, but not to be ignorant but can I send you a print screen on what I am looking at.  I will try am explain what I see: I hooked up my I Pod Clicked on Music checked Sync Music 1909 Songs select Playlist, Artists, albums, and genres checked Include music videos Playlists checked 50's Music checked 70's Music checked 80's Music checked 90's Music checked 2000 Music checked 2010 Music   These are songs that I downloaded onto my I Tunes.  I bought me a new computer but when my data was transferred from old computer to new computer a lot of my songs on my hard drive were lost, but they were able to save all my songs on I tunes.  My I Pod is still connected Clicked on "On this Ipod" Music 938  Songs 2.2 days So my question to you is if I have 1,909 songs on my ITunes how come only 938 transferred to my IPod.  I checked my IPod and it shows only 938 songs transferred.  This did not happen before until I Tunes asked me if I wanted to update to a newer version.  Last month I did have all my 1,909 songs on my I Pod.  I hope this explains what I am asking
