My ipod just doesnt want to work on my pc

So I just fixed my ipod, by replacing the broken hard drive. The ipod itself was out of warranty so I figured I take a crack at it. Anyways the transplant was successful and I got it up and and running. The problem is I cant get my pc to recognize it and I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING ON the apple help page. So I thought there was something else wrong with my ipod so before giving up I took it over my friends house and hook it up over there and instantly it poped up and let me format it and update it and let me name it with itunes. So I thought yay! I fixed it. So I got home later that night and plug it in my pc and it took like 5 min for itunes to open up, but finally I started transeferring music from itunes to it. It was taking really long so I decided to go to sleep and get to it in the morning. But when I woke up the ipod was turned off and wouldnt respond to me pushing any of the buttons so I tried unplugging and plugging the cord in and it popped up with this battery symbol that doesnt do anything but sit on the screen. Its a giant battery with a lighting bolt on it and it doesnt appear to be moving. It does this with all my pcs and at my friends house it actually moved and charged up. I don't know what to do is it just to dead to revive with the usb cord or is my pc messing something up? I run windows xp and so does my friend. Any Ideas?

Sorry to hear you are still having problems.
The only other thing other than what you mentioned would be some power saving setting in BIOS(BasicInputOutputSystem)
that is interferring with iTunes. If you try going into the BIOS, you should be very careful in there. Your power supply might not be powerful enough on your computer, so I'd check that first. If you don't know about BIOS,(perfectly normal-I consider myself somewhat of a nerd) I suggest getting the help of some "computer expert" to do it. Yet of course, it is your choice, and(after getting the approval of your parent(s) if you are a minor and/or the owner of the computer if you do not own it) You could always do some research on the web and try to do it yourself. Be careful and good luck!

Ipod doesnt want to work now

Hi,
I have had an IPOD shuffle for about 2 months now and it has worked perfectly fine on my pc. But last week my ipod just went dead. I was about to play some music when the lights on my ipod started flashing alternatly. When I got back home I plugged my IPOD into the same USB slot as I have been using for the past 2 months, XP and itunes cannot find the IPOD, I have reinstalled the drivers for the IPOD several times, I have also tryed every USB slot on my pc, and i have taken out any other USB connections that have been recently added since I have had my IPOD.
Please can someone help me!!

Many people, including myself, are having the same problem and Apple doesn't seem to have a solution. I've spent 2 weeks trying different cures, but to no avail.

My ipod just doesnt work.

Ive had my ipod for a couple months now. when i bought it off this guy, it had 2536 songs on it and it worked great, no problems. i erased all of the songs and started fresh with all my songs imported from CD's. I imported a lot of CD's, listened to them, got more CD's put them on, worked great, and ive just been putting more songs on (i still only have 342) and after awhile my Ipod just quit working. heres the symptoms:
Freezes constantly,
Plays only a select few songs after a very long time,
Doesn't play mostly ANY songs,
Says track is playing, but no sound. (volume is all the way up, not on hold headphones all the way in and not broken at all),
Some songs skip
It used to work fine. What could be the problem?

Hello Nick,
If you can hear the sound and the message showing "Do not disconnect", I believe that your iPod does connect with your PC, however, due to some error, your PC does not recongize your iPod. Why we put our iPod into Disk Mode? Because we treat the iPod as an external hard disk, which often got rec ongize by the computer. It did take me several attempts i.e. plug and unplug, and reached the level that my iPod icon appeared in my computer folder. If you manage to reach this stage you can format your iPod which is equal to a HD anyway and fix up the disk problem.
I am not good in PC, but I have few experience that the Disk Utility of my Mac failed to format my iPod, I use erase partition instead. Bingo, which allowed me to reformat the ipod and restored the latest iPod updater

My HelloWorld servlet just dont want to work

Hi,
I know that there's many posts about this issue but still it doesn't want to work for me :(
i made this HelloWorld.java file with this code:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet {
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws IOException, ServletException
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println("<html>");
        out.println("<head>");
        out.println("<title>Hello World!</title>");
        out.println("</head>");
        out.println("<body>");
        out.println("<h1>Hello World!</h1>");
        out.println("</body>");
        out.println("</html>");
}then i made these steps:
- compiled this file to HelloWorld.class
- shutdown the tomcat server (4.1.31)
- copied the file to c:\<tomcat dir>\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes
- started the server again
- launch the url : http://localhost:8080/servlet/HelloWorld.
still i keep getting this annoying message: "The requested resource (/servlet/HelloWorld) is not available."
i tried to launch this servlet on tomcat 5.5 but still the same annoying message.
remark: when i launch http://localhost:8080/ i do see the tomcat homepage telling me that the setup went well, and when im trying to launch the servlet's example that came with the installation they work too.
What am I missing here?

hmmm... there's a little problem.
i don't have any servlet.xml file,
not in tomcat 5.5 nor 4.1.31.
what should i do?edit server.xml
And the proper way as already mentioned is to name the servlets in the web.xml file and use packages for your servlets.

My iPod Touch screen is unresponsive and doesnt want to work anymore.

i have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen. It has the 5.0.1. update! Right now when i touch to try and slide open it doesnt follow my finger and its really upsetting.
Yes i have...
washed my hands to make sure no water or grease or anything is on it
wiped the screen with a dry cloth
RESTORED IT TI FACTORY SETTINGS, BASICALLY MAKING IT A NEW iPod
and still NOTHING! It just sits there and not even let me use it.
And when i press the home and power button for a reboot it then tells me to plug it into iTunes and when i do it acts fine but 30 minutes later IT DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!!!
Help, PLEASE?????

When restoring to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem it is likely due to a hardware problem. Then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can i get my itunes to sync to my ipod if it ask to redownload the 64bit version of itunes. I did it like 10 times and it still doesnt want to work.

it keeps asking to redownload the 64bit itunes and i keep downloading the same thing over and over again. please help. Thanks in advance!

Ipod doesn't want to work...

I just got my ipod nano for Christmas and I let it charge for three days. Even though it says it's fully charged, it refuses to work without being hooked up to the computer or another power source. When I unplug it, it doesn't run like it should. When I unplug it, the screen freezes and refuses to shut off. I can't even restart it. I just got it! What do I do about this?

It sounds like your Nano is broken. You should return it for a replacement. If it was bought at a local store, take it back. If it was bought online, contact Apple via the support page.

My comp just doesnt want to boot

Hi I just made a PC with these specs
MB X58 Pro-E
Intel I7 920
Palit GTX260 sonic 1792mb
WDC 500GB caviar green
Corsair TR3X6G1600C9 - 12800 6GB 9-9-9-24
Lite-on 24x DVD-RW
VenomRX 800W Hemotoxin PSU (12v/20A, 3.3V/24A, 5V/30A)
Silverstone Precision Case
My problem is that the comp dies after a few seconds and there are lines all over the BIOS screens... Can anybody help, thx =)

Probably this will give you guys more idea about my problem... When I power up the PC its seems to be working at full capacity loud fan sounds, after 3-5 seconds it slows down and then the BIOS starts to load... However there are lines on the BIOS screen.. It also says that CMOS settings wrong and occasionally its says overclocking failed, etc etc... =(
You need to go into BIOS and load default settings, I'd say. Then start your OC'ing again if you were overclocking.
Sounds to me like the clearing of CMOS worked and is now waiting for you to set it up again.
Edit: You may need to check your boot order too.

Adobe Camera Raw program doesnt want to work.

I have used Camera raw previously and now that I have to use it via the internet and pay a subscription it wont enable?
I bought the CS6 program last year and used it fine, then I needed Premiere pro for my studies so hence having to get the whole package and being charged a monthly fee.
My RAW comes up with a message that sais "Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
Any help would be awesome as I cant do anything now. Grrrr

That error message usually means you need to launch Photoshop at least once and open a raw file in ACR through Photoshop.

the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,

if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
