My iPod does not work properly when plugged into the computer. How to fix?

I have a 4th generation 40 gigabyte iPod, non-color.
Today, I plugged it into my computer to update my playlists.
My iTunes and Windows were lagged down. Eventually, when things caught up, my iTunes didn't show my iPod as being connected. I looked in My Computer, and it didn't say iPod -- it said "Removable Disk". I couldn't disconnect my iPod via Windows, even using the Safely Remove Hardware didn't work.
After looking around here and trying things like Disk Mode and Resetting the iPod, nothing worked. I can't get the iPod to work with the iPod Updater so I can try restoring it.
I dunno really what to do. If it's a hardware problem, then I'm not going to bother to get it repaired, since the music that's currently on it plays perfectly fine still.
I just dunno what else to try.

you basically are stuck. apple won't do crap for you. i went to the apple store today because my second ipod crashed (the first one they replaced) and they won't do anything for me and told me i had to buy a new one (2 in 1 1/2 years is what happened) so they wanted me to buy a third one when their product obviously *****. and the manager even basically admitted that the ipod that they claim is durable and relible isn't. that people go through 3-4 a year. the supposed "apple genius" told me to send it out to a third party repair. he wouldn't even look at it and lectured me for not getting the extended warranty. if you look at the website below and read you'll find that a lot of people got screwed over like me with the extended warranty;

put it this way i won't go back to that apple store again or purchase another ipod. ill keep my piece of none working crap

Primavera Web services does not work properly when I move the database.

I am using primavera web services to integrate a winform application (using c#) with primavera. It was successful with my original database, but when I decided to move my database to another server ( It is a sql server 2005 database and I use backup/restore to move database to new server). I changed the database configuration for the webservices so that it refers to the new database on the new server.
I used the following code to login to webservices:
                AuthenticationService authService = new AuthenticationService( );
                authService.CookieContainer = new System.Net.CookieContainer( );
                authService.Url = _P6wsAuthenticationService;
                Login loginObj = new Login( );
                loginObj.UserName = pv_Username;
                loginObj.Password = pv_Password;
                loginObj.DatabaseInstanceId = 1;
                loginObj.DatabaseInstanceIdSpecified = true;
                loginObj.VerboseFaults = true;
                loginObj.VerboseFaultsSpecified = true;
                LoginResponse loginReturn = authService.Login( loginObj );
                cookieContainer = authService.CookieContainer;
               ReadDatabaseInstancesResponseDatabaseInstance[] readdbInstances = authService.ReadDatabaseInstances("");
the loginResponse for the new server is true and it shows the db properties correctly in readdbInstances. But when I try to read projects from database it returns nothing. It doesn't give me any error message just the response message is null.
Could anybody help me with this issue?
Thank you

If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem. I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

There is a hardware problem. Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

Application does not work properly when I press a CommanButton

Hi all, I am having a problem with weblogic 10.3.5.
It turns out that an application built with JDeveloper 11.1.5, I test it, and everything goes well in the JDeveloper integrated Weblogic.
But when deploy in a standalone weblogic 10.3.5 server, the application does not work properly when I press a CommanButton to go to another page search (the property "action" is set correctly) , but nothing happens, stays in the same home page. Similarly when a commanButton link to run a task-flow, It do not work , however in the JDeveloper integrated Weblogic it runs correctly.
How I can solve these problems?
Thanks.

Do you have Logitech gaming software installed on the PC? If so, perhaps try the suggestion from the following post:
Re: Everytime I close Itunes it loads back up

How come my Ipod Touch will only charge when plugged into a computer and not a docking station or wall socket?

My IPhone works with both the charging USB cable as well as the wall socket and docking station. Additionally, my IPod used to charge using both the wall socket plug in and the docking station. My IPod will stay play music when plugged into the docking station, but won't charge. Further, when I plug my IPod into my computer all it will do is charge and is not recognized by ITunes. I have done both a soft and hard reset.

If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Warning to iPhone users. Do not start the update of the iPhone software using iTunes.
Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

you can turn off the magnifying glass :

you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :

I'm having the same problem. I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer.
