"Double check and make sure you have SP2 installed on your Windows. Click start, right click on MyComputer, and then click on properties. The "general" tab will give you all of your system information. If it does not say "service pack 2" you should download and install it from www.microsoft.com and then try to do the restore again."
Check

Set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

Here's an answer from the net:
Go to Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars/Add account choose other, choose Add Mail Account. Fill in name, email address, password and description on the screen that comes up. Save those.
One the next screen tat comes up click om POP in the first line then fil in the host name as
spop.west.cox.net or spop.east.cox.net or the one to go with your region.
Note that is not a misprint, that is spop (secure pop)
Fill in your username one more time (the password should have carried over from previously)
Fill in your outgoing mail server like smtp.west.cox.net (change for your region) and click Save.
When all the settings are verified a checkmark will appear next to them all and you are good to go.
If it says something like "can't connect via SSL would you like to ..." then you probably missed the step about selecting POP on the second screen and are trying IMAP so go back and try over with POP. Or perhaps mistyped soemthing.
Once everything is working you can go back into the settings and see that it has automatically connected on port 995 and that SSL is on
Note that you probably won't be able to send email from a wifi in a cafe or similar as cox won't let you connect to their smtp from outside their network.
I haven't tried receiving mail from a non cox connected wifi yet but I suspect it will work just fine. Anyway these settings work for me using my ipod to my home wifi router connected to cox.
I could not find a definitive guide when I searched so I hope this helps other folks trying to configure this.
I got the spop from "Mail for Mac OS X 10.5 configure SSL / POP" here:

Then Charge for an Hour and try the Reset again.

My iPod is Broken- Please Help me!

Hi, I have had my ipod for a little over three months, and my screen just recently looks like it has fluid or something on it, its black and it wont do anything except turn off and on- please help me!

I have taken the liberty of looking over Apple's iPod warranty, and Apple has not made an exclusion to the screen. Carl wolf is wrong in that sense. Print a copy of iPod warranty from Apple's iPod support site, call a representative (you'd have to pay for that since you're out of your 90 days of complimentary support) or just do a Web service request. If an Apple representative tries to tell you that they don't repair screens, politely tell the person that there is no place on the iPod warranty statement that says such a thing, and that is a binding statement. If they still disagree, then simply ask to speak to a supervisor or higher up person and repeat steps above. If this fails to work for you, contact the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and file a complaint against Apple. Be sure to do this all in a polite manner, because use of anger is never helpful. I suggest getting AppleCare for the iPod, which is only like $60 and gets you phone support for 2 years from iPod purchase date. The key to this is not to give in. It doesn't sound like you damaged the iPod at all, it's just a defect. Apple wrote their own rules, and I don't think they're going to break them. Good luck!

My Ipod touch wont work and ive tried everything!!

Please help! My ipod touch (8gb) just stopped working one day and I think it had something to do with being Jailbroken and having less then 20% of battery, But now it wont work and ive let it charge for 2 days straight, Ive tried plugging it into the computer - Nothing, Ive tried holding down the sleep and home button - Still nothing! please help, i dont want to get a new one because this one has absolutly Everything on it.
Also, my iphone comes up with No wifi and its all grey but my bluetooth is fine...and ive restored it and everything...help on that too?

Your iPod.
When you held both Sleep & Home Button, did you hold for more than 10secs until you see Apple logo?
If that still does not work
try this.....
1. Plug into a power source
2. Hold down the power button(Sleep button) for about 5 seconds
3. After 5 seconds of holding down the power button, hold down the home button while still holding down the power buttom (so now you are holding them both down) for about 5 seconds.
4. After 5 seconds of holding them both down, let go of the power button - but still keep holding down the home button - hold the home buttom alone for about 5 seconds.
You should then see the apple icon on the screen. be patient. after about 5 seconds of the apple icon on the screen, the ipod should turn on.

IMac Freezing/crashing, please help. Tried everything! :(

Hello Fellow MacTalkers,
I am writing this post to ask you for a help with an issue that is very frustrating to resolve.
To begin with, I have purchased my MacBook Pro 2.4 GHZ, 3GB, Leopard running notebook about 7 months ago.
Until recently I have discovered that my computer is crashing randomly.
I am not a very tech oriented person, who knows much about console, logs and sorting out the hardware / software related issues.
About 2 months ago I started to experience some random freezes on my computer. Those freezes were occurring on different type of situations so it was hard for me to identify what could be causing the problem. The most common freezing that I have encountered, was and is that my computer screen just freezes and I can't perform any reset or rescue. Simply hard reset.
I started to think that this could be a cause of getting an extra 1GB memory that I purchased from Apple store, and that the memory could be faulty. But just to make sure I have done a clean re-instal of my os. making sure that I have all my permissions everything that could be a "common" cause of any weird behaviors on a mac sorted.
After the reinstall it got even worse.
I decided to take my computer to Apple authorized centre in Sydney broadway NextByte shop.
I explained the problem, asked if that would be possible to check some sort of console logs and track back what could be the cause of the problem that I am experiencing.
I left my computer for 2 weeks in service. And after that 2 weeks they have replied to me saying that they have detected no faulty with the hardware what so ever. I keep on persisting that I understand that the service people have done all the tests on external peripherals, checked the system performance through some kind of testing tools and it resulted with no problem. I rang the Apple complaints department asking if they could do anything about it as I am very worried that this issue won't disappear. They have informed me that there is nothing thay can do and they are basically sending my back home.
I collected my computer 2 days ago and started setting up some programs like adobe and all my apps. At first it was running all well, but then it started (leopard or hardware) to freeze again. On no particular occasion. I had to crashes in 3 hours.
I remembered the time of the crash and after the reboot, I checked my console and here is what I could find:
12/05/08 11:00:07 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (0x10b260.mdworker[1036]) Exited abnormally: Segmentation fault
I don't know if that is related to this post in any way, but as I said at the beginning I have no technical knowledge on where to investigate it further.
I would like to ask you for your recommendation on what should I do next.
I hope there is nothing that I am doing wrong with my computer as I am keeping it organized nad well maintained.
I thought also that that could be overheating related issue so I bought a notebook cooler, but that doesn't seemed to resolve the problem.
I am running out of ideas. Apple won't help me in solving the problem, I am also not sure how should I approach this case from the legal perspective. Can I go to fair traiding institution and ask them for help to enforce apple on returning my money for laptop, should I perform any tasks on my computer to fix the problem with some software.
Help, I am really running out of ideas. I am doing graphic design daily and this problem is driving me crazy.
I would appreciate your feedback or any suggestions on what should I do next.
Sorry for my cracked english. Im still learning my lingo in Australia
PLEASE PLEASE, help me on this one.
Kind Regards,
Michael Saganowski

For what its worth, it sounds like the Leopard woes I was having before I left and went back to Tiger. I was in leopard for three months and I had too many problems to list here, but some common ones were Random system freezes/crashes (especially in itunes coverflow), Finder freezing, Adobe CS3 crashing and being generally buggy, not being able to run Final Cut Pro and After Effects at the same time.
My advice to you, check your memory if you feel like it could be the problem. If your memory is OK, then wait for the 10.5.3 update which is supposed to be out really soon (like within a couple of weeks or so from what I hear.)

Please HELP! My iPod wont turn on! Ive tried everything...

Hi!
im from argentina, so.. sry for my english =)
Last weekend I wanted to upgrade my ipods (ipod g5) firmware to the new one.. After the firmware was loaded to the ipod, an apple appeared on my ipod screen. Ok.. but it usually appears a loading bar below the apple. After waiting a long time for the loading bar to appear, I thought it was frozen, so I pressed the reset buttons (menu+center).
Since then I wasnt able to turn on my ipod!!!
I have searched the internet and I found this terrible sentence:
"Do not reboot your iPod while it's booting for the first time after a firmware update (using the Apple updater). This will abort the ROM flashing, and will render your iPod dead."
Is this true? It must be another way to wake my ipod up, plz!!! I have paid a lot of money for it, and I really didnt know that! There was NO WARNING about that! How could I know?!
Anyone with some cool ideas to help me?
Thx a lot!

IPod won't sync to iTunes - Please help! Tried everything

My iPod won't sync to iTunes. I pug it into the computer, the computer recognizes the device. It automatically opens iTunes once it's plugged in. I was able to system restore via iTunes when the iPod was connected and it wiped the iPod. But when I hit sync it doesn't sync. When I hit the sync button for about 5 seconds the wheel will rotate on the iPod screen and say "syncing" but nothing happens on the iTunes side, (you know normally when your iPod is syncing at the top of the iTunes window it will say "syncing" and you can see the process happening as it quickly runs through the new music it is uploading, this doesn't happen.) I tried restarting the iPod and the computer, system reset, I checked in the control panel to make sure the apple device was started, (which it was,) and even bought a new sync cord to be sure. Nothing. Any ideas?

I was running into the same/similar problem. Is this a new computer but old ipod? In other words, does your ipod contain music from a previous pc? If so, that might be the problem. I bought a new pc and adequately transferred my music from old pc to new pc. My itunes library on new pc was where I wanted it to be. But when I tried to sync my ipod later, it wouldn't sync. Would stop at first step like yours was doing.
If this is the case with you, open your ipod information on itunes. It will automatically be on "Summary". Click on "Music". You will see a box labeled "Sync Music". Click on that box. Then you have the option of checking "Entire Music Library" or "Selected playlists.....". I chose entire library. When you sync, it will warn you that you will be erasing contents of ipod and replacing with contents of this itunes library. Like I said, my library was good. So I chose ok. It synced fine after that.

My ipod wont switch on anymore. ive tried everything! what can i do?

my ipod wont switch on anymore! what can i do??

Get it serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. The choice is yours. There is no telling what the exact cause of the issue is whether it be a dead battery or another damaged internal component.

Try:
- 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.

Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc it recognises it as a sigma mass usb device, yet its a 8gb ipod nano,and i tunes does not recognise it, im running on windows vista basic yet my own 80g classic ipod runs perfect

please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc, it does not recognise it in itunes,yet it comes up as a sigma mass usb device. its an ipod nano 8gb?. im running on windows vista,my own ipod classic runs fine.

there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit.

My ipod doesnt have headphones in but it says it is and i cant hear anything ive tried everything but nothing works help!!

My ipod says theres headphones in but there isnt ive tried everything but nothing works help!!!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself
iPod Touch Repair – iFixit
