My iPod is not answering and it is...ringing!

It was connected to our Mac and was quite normal, when suddenly it began ringing (and has not stopped yet). Without earphones!..The sound is really awful, like a siren...The computer does not see it and it does not react when I click on its wheel. Can something be done? Please!..

No, they will give you a refurbished (but basically a brand-new) iPod touch in the same color. I have the Silver as well...sort of kicking myself for not waiting for the Blue one to come back in stock.

  • My daughter's ipod is not working and says it needs to be plugged into a computer. Can she sync to someone elses mac?

    My daughter is away at camp and ipod is not working and says it needs to be connected to itunes.  She does not have her laptop with her. Can she sync to her itunes on someone else's mac?

    Yes, when she plugs it in to another person's mac, tell it transfer purchases, then authorize the computer by going to store, and click authroize computer. If the iPod is in recovery mode
    Then I don't think she can have her music apps etc. on there after she plugs it into the computer. If it just needs a charge
    When iTunes opens on the computer, quit it, and do not let the iPod sync with the computer, just answer no or ignore to any questions asking if you want to sync.

    iPod touch not responding and has white screen. Tried to restore, drain battery and re-charge etc but still nothing. What can I do?

    Try what you have not tried so far. You may have tried all and the Apple store maybe in order.
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • In Lync, if a call is not answered, and does not go to voice mail, is anything recorded in the Lync database ?

    We are using Lync 2010. This question relates to the LCSCDR database.
    In Lync, if a call is not answered, and does not go to voice mail, is anything recorded in the Lync database ? Are there any options to make Lync store a record of unanswered calls ?
    Is there a way to tell from the LYnc database if a call was answered by a person or went to voice mail ?
    I cannot see anything in the sessiondetails table to indicate any of the above.
    Any help much appreciated.

  • Possible Solution to Frozen iPod, iTunes not responding and sad folder

    There may be hope for frozen iPods, unresponsive iTunes and sad folders. This solution is totally anecdotal at this point as it only has worked on my iPod. However, try it you got nothing to lose. Our iPods broken right? It's a $300 paper weight right?
    History
    My iPod 4G 20GB started skipping songs then rebooted and gave me the sad folder. I reset and everything went downhill from there. I would:
    - not be recognized in My Computer
    -when I did get a drive on My Computer it would lock up My Computer
    -reboot and either give me sad folder or Menu with no songs
    -refuse to be updated
    -be seen in Device Manager as ipod both with Firewire and USB connections
    I read through the many threads here and tried all Apple's Solutions to no avail. I even called and they told me, very nicely and free of charge, that I would have to send it in and because the repair price was such to "look at the new models to see which one I wold like". I was totally bummed. I went and bought an new Nano 4GB (with warranty this time) swearing I would never buy another with a HDD again until they became more reliable. I even tried the smack it to get the disk head unstuck method. I figure my iPod was a paper weight at this point so what the ****.(Oddly this method works rather well with all sorts of broken electronics)
    Solution
    Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
    - I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
    - I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
    - I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
    My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.

    My ipod only gets the sad logo and whenever I try to start it up I can hear the hard drive trying to start and then failing and it does so like 3 or 4 times. After I read your post I wanted to try that diagnostic thing but I can't get it into that mode. How long should I have to hold select and back? After I reset the ipod, it goes to the sad face, the hard drive seems to fail a few times and then the screen goes blank and stays like that for as long as I hold those buttons. I'm so sick and tired of dealing with a broken ipod but I really want to get this thing working again so I can never buy another Apple product again. Thanks.

  • Ipod is not recognized and is stuck on apple black screen.

    So here's the story:
    I have a 30Gb ipod.A few days ago it ran out of battery.and now ive been trying to charge it on my computer but it gets stuck on the black screen with the apple in it and keeps making some weird "start up" sounds all the time.I've tried resetting, reinstalling iTunes and a lot of other guides that ive been searching throughout the internet.I've ran out of options so I'd like to know if anyone could help.
    Issues: 1-Ipod is stuck on black screen and doesnt charge
    2-Ipod is not recognized by either windows or Itunes
    3-When i try to put him and bring it back from disk mode it keeps the same.
    I think that's all.any questions anyone might have please post it here.Don't suggest to try and make him run out of batteries cuz it doesnt stay on for long.It stays on the black screen and then shuts off.any help/hint/suggestion that doesn't involve buying a new one is appreciated :/

  • New Classic iPod will not restore and can't eject from iTunes.

    Hi everybody.
    I just bought a new 160 GB Classic a week ago and promptly attached it to my Windows based laptop and installed the newest firmware.
    I can add shows and songs to it with no problems, but if I do, I can NOT then eject the iPod from iTunes. It says that it is being used (it's not). The iPod itself says that it is "Synchronizing" despite the fact that I have NOTHING checked to synchronize (I disabled them all).
    The only way I can eject at this point is to use the Windows function of "Safely Remove Hardware". However, if I simply connect the iPod to my computer and do NOT do anything with it (ie; transfer a song, etc.) it will allow me to eject.
    No matter what, when I connect my iPod to iTunes I can never Restore it. I get Error Message 1418.
    When I called Apple Care they had me go and replace it but the second one does the exact same thing.
    I am just wondering if any other Windows users are experiencing the same thing before I go crazy.
    Again, I have the latest firmware and the latest version of iTunes.
    Thanks.

    1a. Your PC can read iTunes, but for some strange reason, it just ignores your iPod. You have:
    a) Reset the iPod (back to factory settings)
    b) Reset the ipod, by flicking the top slider on the iPod on and off, then pressing 'Menu and 'Centre button'
    for 6 secondish. let go!
    b) Downloaded upto date iTunes onto your pc...
    c) spent hours entering all your tracks into your library
    ....and then nothing!
    Works ok on the pc ok, but dead on the ipod.
    TRY THE FOLLOWING:
    1b. a) Delete iTunes from you 'Control Panel' (click on Add & Remove Software).
    Note: Make sure you delete everything to do with the Apple iPod, this is very important. (I just deleted
    iTunes,and believe me you will be there for days..get rid of all of it and start a fresh).
    b) Reboot your pc...
    c) Plug in your iPod....it should now work.
    Note: If still not working, try an earlier version of iTunes e.g Ver. 7.4.3.1
    READ FIRST:
    2a. Somestimes people have problems with iTunes because of the clash with Microsoft Media Player.
    a) All you need to do is uninstall Media Player from your PC and reboot your system.
    b) Load the Latestest iTunes from the iTune & Apple site http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    c) Reboot your PC iTunes, it should now work.
    However, like me if you want the best of both worlds and want Media Player, you can re-install Media Player.
    Personally I use Ver. 10 - it works ok with iTunes and it has majority of functions as Ver. 11 but without the
    registering via redtape as they introduced with ver.11
    Note: As long as you install iTunes first and then Media Player you should be ok - Media player has a sub-routine
    in its programming to dominate other players - and therefore causes you problems, without telling you why....'Nice One Bill Gates!'
    but if say, you have installed iTunes FIRST then for the sub-routine seems to ignore it....strange huh!
    Try it....what have you got to lose?
