My iPod is totally screwed

Hello!
Iv'e had my iPod for about a year and a half now.
I have The 10GB White iPod. Not the one with the grey spinning/clicking wheel.
So anyway, one day i was relaxing at my computer, trying to transfer songs. But i get this error @ Ephpod while transferring songs, and i shut down Ephpod. Every song i transferred to my iPod at that moment dissapeared.
I Reconnect my iPod, and suddently iPod Updater tells me i have to Restore my ipod . So i do it, and everything works fine again. But ephpod and iTunes won't load songs to my iPod. Both of them show that they have loaded songs into my ipod, but when i save - exit and unplug my iPod there's no songs there.
So i reconnect it again, and now. My computer freezez anytime i reconnect it. So i format my computer, that helped. But now it doesn't find my iPod!
Even if i go to disk mode it won't find it.
I Actually have to go to disk-mode by clicking at the iPod even when the iPod is connected.
And it shows low battery even when i charge it for 4 hours!
What's the problem, i dont have any guarantee left so i WONT pay to get my iPod fixed, im starting to think Apple makes iPod "non" usable after about a year, becouse then the guarantee has gone and you have to send it to repair to get it fixed/get a new one.
But anyway, someone can help me?
I have a "STLab - PCI Firewire 1394 Controller Card"

Hello Jorgen,
It is a disappointed week for me as I have failed many times on helping people to solve the iPod problem in the forum. Most of problem came from the PC's users than Macs, and particularlly realted to the user's PC could not recongize their iPod. I almost want to give up to posting any further suggestion until I saw your post. I believe that I got nothing to loss by giving you a suggestion, anyway all the people here are trying their best affort to solve the problem.
Long story short , read the following posts

In addition, please recharge your ipod with the AC Charger instead of your pc, after 2 hours do a reset and put it the Disk Mode and plug in back to your PC, you may need to plug and replug your iPod few times until it see it in my computer folder, if you able to reach this stage, format your Ipod and restore the iPod updater.
Hope the above helps - good luck

Is it possible to download iOS 5 from one iMac and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

Is it possible to download iOS 5 from one iMac on two ipads and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

Thank you for your reply.
I am somewhat new to iOS and OS having grown up with DOS and Windows. I am not familiar with IMAP and iCloud and I am not even sure which types of servers my various emails use.
The problem I would anticipate with iCloud is that (I assume) it would limit my access to data (including mail) on the iCloud to when I happen to be logged onto the internet. I also assume(?) that large files (photos etc.) would require some time to download whenever I wish to access them from whichever device I happen to be using (I hope I am wrong about this).
I have kept my devices to 500gb - 1TB for OS and 32gb - 128gb for iOS but since I have pretty slow WiFi (shared with DirecTV Whole Home and Netflix streaming) it is my impression that iCloud might be quite limited due to data transfer times.
Perhaps a factor would be that I have 2 DSL lines and my main DSL line is connected to two wireless routers (to also provide WiFi in a metal building that blocks WiFi and Cellular signals)
I may be totally wrong in my assumptions regarding iCloud. My mail is not so urgent that I need access to it instantly and I could wait until I had internet access or I can get it on my iPhone. My main concern with iCloud would be my data files (Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc.).
On the other hand, if I wanted to keep my 10,000 emails that would take up a lot of iCloud memory and I don't know how to measure how much storage it would take or how to move Hotmail or even iCloud mail to iCloud.
It may take me some time to figure this out.

I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking first, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it. What can I do??

I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking for potential problems with Adobe software, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So after consulting some forums, I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it, back in 2011... What can I do?? Everything was fine before I upgraded that *#$%* Yosemite.

My brand new iPod is totally blocked.... (?!)

hi there,
Can someone help out?
Our iPod is totally blocked and nothing works to get it going again (on/off button at top... home button.... and/or combination of both)
Connecting to computer (itunes) also doesn't help a thing.... out of options for the moment.
Next thing is to just sit and wait till battery's dead.... will take hours.... and then 'hope' all's fine again.
Looking forward to any suggestion.
thanks a lot,
E.

- Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at 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.

Hi...Just got a Ipod and in our house we have 3 ipod touch total. Can we put 3 ipods in itune?

Hi...Just got a Ipod and in our house we have 3 ipod touch total. Can we put 3 ipods in itune?

Yes. When you connect your devices, iTunes knows which one is which so you can customize what does and does not get synched to each device.
The only caveat is each user needs to have their own unique Apple ID AND their own account on the computer so you can keep purchased apps and such separate...
By having separate computer accounts, each user has their own "space" to put stuff in. iTunes knows this and will make individual iTunes library folders for each user.

This Verizon web settings for home phone is totally screwed up

I attempt to review/update my calling features.
From the main page (http://www22.verizon.com/ForYourHome/MyAccount/Protected/Overview/MyOverview.aspx), I do 'My Services' -> 'Home Phone' -> 'Home Phone Overview'. Then I click on 'Update Calling Features', and it comes up with
===== We are looking up your account information and checking for available services. This will only take a moment. =====
Then it shows some type of {please keep your posts courteous} order review. The web URL is https://www22.verizon.com/FORYOURHOME/GOFLOW/MyVerizonNew/ADDCHANGESERVICES.ASPX.
How screwed up is that? All I want to do is to review my calling features. This is totally screwed!

An update: This morning, I got a call from from Verizon support saying the problem had been fixed. I tried -- it wasn't fixed. So I gave tech support a call, I allowed them to remotely drive my PC so they could see for themselves that I still had the problem. After that, the tech support guy gave me a work-around for the problem; a new URL to bypass the verizon home page and go directly to the calling features settings. So, at least now, I can view/adjust the settings for my home phone. The tech support guy was helpful and at least now, I have a work around.

My ipod went totally dead. I have had it plugged in charging for 45 minutes and is just a blank lit screen and won't shut off. Is this normal?

Mail V. 2.1.3 (753.1) acts totally weird, formatting totally screwed up

A few days ago I installed a Type 1 font (Helvetica Fractions) and it showed up unwanted in my mail.
So I disabled that font again and everything was good again. — A day later suddenly all mail settings were totally screwed up: The header takes half the screen (it looks like the fonts use a 500% line spacing); the interface graphics (blue bubbles, arrows etc. don't show); making the text larger or smaller acts weird (command+ makes it smaller, command- also, using the size panel 9pt makes it larger, 18pt and all others make it smaller); text lines are endless, images huge; copied and inserted text come as one word, has all blanks eliminated. — Tried all settings and preferences to no avail.
What to do? Re-install? How?

1} Safe Boot (holding shift key down) didn't work at all. The little clock (circle, how do you call it?) kept rotating and rotating, the ventilator joined in pretty noisily, but nothing happened.
OK, then your Hard Disk is messed up, either let it go for several minutes or until it completes, or...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

2) How do I right click and archive on a standard mouse? Also, no independent compression program available.
It's built into the OS and Control + Click = right click for one buttom mice.

TS1702 When will Apple come out with a new update because the last one totally screwed up my Ipod? Whenever I try to get on an app, it crashes. I can't even download any more apps. I can't get on safari or most apps without it crashing.

Why does the new update for IPod screw up the function? I can't get on hardly any of my apps, let alone, download any more apps either. I am one unhappy person.

Did you already try to set it up as new device, without using the backup afterwards?

Updating IPOD Software has screwed up my Itunes

I updated my IPOD last night with the latest software, and now, my Itunes is all screwed up. The play counts and ratings appear to have been randomly mixed, and my purchased music won't install on the Ipod, says it is not authorized. Songs I've never listened to are now 5 stars, and the playcounts of some songs have suddenly gone into the 100s.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

ICS totally screwed up my phone

<Discussion moved from Android to DROID BIONIC by Motorola for more exposure.>
I need to know if there is anything I can do to fix my screwed up Bionic phone after the ICS update. I think I already know there isn't anything, but I'll vent anyway in case I might help somebody else avoid accepting this update. The upgrade downloaded about a week ago and at 7am in the morning when I noticed it, I'm not lucid enough to realize that I was potentially breaking my phone by accepting it. I worked on Verizon phones at Motorola for 11 years and I know how crazy Verizon usually is about testing new phones but software upgrades are a different story...they never have enough people using "old" phones to really user-trial upgrades so most of the time the new software has more user issues than the old software even though it might fix some obscure issues that nobody cares about. After about 5 hours stuck on "updating media", I finally had to pull the memory card because, you know, I actually have to use my phone once in a while and expect for $100/month, that I'd be able to do that all the time. Anyway, the phone came back after the memory card pull, but now the battery drains completely in only a few hours (and I have an extended battery). When I charge over night or any time, the phone never gets to more than 60% charge. I think it's because of background apps running, but I've tried using Task killers to stop background apps and I tried removing all the task killers and either way it doesn't help. I cannot open the gallery or any media players. I can see my media files when I use a file manager, so I know that they are still there, but I can't see or play any of them. There must be some engine changes in this software too because I swear the call processing is different. I'm in 3G in places I used to get 4G and I completely loose service at least once a day now and have to perform a reboot (I used to get this once every few days unfortunately). I know that as soon as I call Verizon, they will tell me a have to do a factory reset since that's their solution for everything that isn't a simple settings change. I've already spent 3 hours trying to fix this thing and I can't believe I'm about to spend another 3 erasing all my data and setting it back up. The biggest pain right now is that the USB interface appears to totally broken. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers on my PC, 3 different USB cables, Different USB ports, power cycling both devices and everything else I could think off...and I am pretty used to doing all this stuff after working on prototype phones at MOT. Nothing worked and so I can't backup my phone data before I do the reset (my 16GB memory card doesn't have much space left). I'll bite the bullet now and I guess I'll be buying an Iphone next time from AT&T because I will never buy an Android phone from Verizon again...I hold grudges for a LONG time.

The process may vary among phones, but on the Bionic:
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

My keychain is totally screwed?!?! Help!!!!

Hi all...
My Keychain is totally 100% screwed up. I've tried all the ways I know to fix it and get it back to where I can use it without a hundred boxes popping up on m screen .... Can anyone offer any diehard or alternative ways to get it fixed? Thanks in advance!!

Deleting the Keychain entirely is likely to fix the problem and may be the least time-consuming option. The consequence of deleting it will be that you will need to supply your credentials again for every service that requires them, but you only have to do that once.

Is there a "restore" feature, like windows has? I installed "CleanGenius" and it has totally screwed up my computer! I just want to go back home!! Thanks

I recently downloaded a trial version of CleanGenius from MacPromo..looked promising, but after I ran it, most of my oft visited sites are totally garbled or missing. Facebook, eBay, a local newpaper, etc all screwed up..unreadable. Is there a "restore" feature (like Windows system restore) that I can use so that all this will just seem like a bad dream? Hope so..thanks for your time. Dave

I then saw the above response from WZZZ whose advise to visit a web site that was so general as to be unhelpful.
First, you were posting in an older thread titled "Is there a restore feature....?" Next, you had no idea what files your crapware program removed. The idea was to return your computer to the state it was in before you did the so called "cleaning." If you had bothered to look around that extremely detailed site, which you in ignorance describe as "being so general as to be unhelpful," you would easily have found 14. How do I restore my entire system?
http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
And simply moving that program to the Trash wouldn't have restored the files it removed. And, it is also possible that parts of that program are still on your computer because it may have installed important or unimportant files elsewhere than in /Applications.
And Debbie and friends at Apple know nothing about Time Machine. It will restore your computer to the state it was in, minus any subsequently installed applications.
Besides, removing your crapware program wasn't your question. It was how do I restore my system to where it was before I allowed that program to run.
The notifications issue had nothing to do with your original question. It happened because of the way you initially set up your account here.
So, thanks for your gratitude.

Ipod screen totally black

I forgot my ipod in the car for one week and when i put to charge again nothing happened, it's totally black and there is none reaction if i plug in with itunes...

After being connected to a charging source at least overnight
Try:
- 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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
