My ipod won't work anymore. ):

I am using a Mac that I got from my school, I am not allowed to do downloads so I couldn't update my ipod. I had my mom update my ipod from her computer. when she updated it, all my music was lost. I plugged it back in to my Mac, and when Itunes opened it said that I cannot use my ipod without the new Itunes. and like I said, I can't do any downloads. I reset my ipod just to see if the update would go away and now its stuck on a screen telling me to plug the ipod into itunes. Its only backed up on this computer, and this is where all my music is. I'm not sure what to do. help ):

What "reset" did you actually do? It sounds like you did the "Erase all content and settings". As you found out that does not change the firmware revision. You now have to find a computer with the right requirements to use your iPod. There is not legitimate way to downgrade. Sorry.

Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore. I restored it, I backed it up and I held the power and Home buttons for the reboot and still nothing. I've been looking to see if any one had the same problem and one guy did but they tOld him it was his hardware, but I don't think it was because my friend was able to get it working but it would stop working again like in 10min. So, has anyone had the same problem and can help? Please, I will greatly apretiate it. :)

HT1338 my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore.

my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore. I've re-installed iTunes, the latest version for Tiger, I've reset and restored my iPod. The ipod shows up fine in the source banner and I can transfer files to it, however when I unplug the iPod the files are not there.

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

Everytime i sync my ipod touch, the apps that i don't have running won't work anymore

When I connect my iPod Touch to my computer, the apps that aren't running won't work anymore. The icons are still there but the app itself doesn't open. I tried syncing it to my backups but it's useless. Please help!

Connect the device to your computer, open iTunes, restore the iPod to factory settings.
Good Luck

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

Ipod model M9244B version 2.3
Any ideas?

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem that indicates a hadware problem, likely a bad battery. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod won't work off the charger

My 4th Gen iPod won't work when it's not connected to the charger. As soon as you remove it from the power source it shuts down. I have updated to the latest iOS and it's been restored. This corrected the issue for about 24hrs then it was back to random shut down and now it won't work at all.
Suggestions or does it need to go visit an Apple Store ?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Any fixes?

I also had problems with iTunes 7 when it first came out, but 7.0.2 is working for me and seems to have fixed a lot of the problems. It's worth a try if you need iTunes 7 for your new iPod.

My USB external hard disk won't work anymore after I updated to 10.4.10

As I said in title since it's quite urgent to me. ALL of my files is in my external hard drive. It's format as FAT or FAT32 I can't remember since I use it between mac and PC. More than that IT IS WORKING FINE UNDER PC. Before updating to Mac 10.4.10 I used my hard disk fine till I updated to this version. I plug in my usb port and after a hours it still won't be detected. I can find my hard disk in finder or desktop. I have tried plug my hard disk to other MacBook or Mac Pro but still won't work anymore. However it's working fine under PC or when I started my MacBKPRO as WindowsXP under bootcamp, my hard disk is working fine, too.
I have search this forum and seems someone have got the same problem as I face. I don't know what to do...and I feel so disappointed to Mac.

As Mac OS X has no known viruses in the wild, that leaves you with one of three possibilities.
1. When connected to the Windows machine, a virus has written over a critical boot block area which allows the drive to become crossplatform. Get the latest Windows virus detection software and make sure the drive is clean of Windows viruses.
2. The firmware that allows it to communicate driverless has become corrupted on the drive case. Replacing the drive case itself will eliminate that problem, as suggested earlier.
3. The directory damage is just enough that the boot block itself is damaged. Backup any critical data from the drive onto the Windows machine first, and run Alsoft Disk Warrior 4.0 to repair the directory and see if that works.
The fact that Mac OS X 10.3.9 won't read it basically eliminates this as a 10.4.10 problem. Only a boot block or firmware issue like this could make a drive not readable on one platform, but readable on another.
P.S. please note the nomenclature of Mac, versus MAC on this user tip, as it appears you haven't learned it:

When I updated to OS 5.0 my old apple id which was not an e-mail address won't work anymore, how can I fix this?

When I updated to OS 5.0 my old apple id which was not an e-mail address won't work anymore, how can I fix this?

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

My hotmail account won't work anymore...

Question
my hotmail account won't work anymore, it comes up but when I try to do an action (delete a message) it won't do anything, I've restarted the webpage and updated firefox but it keeps doing the same thing, this was not happening a few days ago

Well, Hotmail no longer works with Firefox on my desktop. Strangely enough when I use my iPad to access hotmail I have the same problem if I set the browser to emulate firefox. I have not tried the firefox app for mobile yet. When my iPad is set to appear as mobile (generic) then firefox works.
Others at work have all had the same problem (and with Chrome but that is not something I want to use anyway). Some have switched to Opera as a temp solution.
Two said whern they disabled silverlight, firefox worked fine. I tried that and it did not. (I have had problems with Silverlight with firefox 10 & 11) I have tried disabling all extensions and plugins and adding one back at a time and so far no luck. My Google account works OK. Any suggestions not only welcome but might be life-savers.

Update 32bit - 64 bit and network won't work anymore

Hi
I update (means clean install) Vista Business 32 bit to 64 bit and after that the network connection
won't work anymore. Problem is that vista won't get the IP-address from DHCP (tried in small office network with some cheap Zyxel and big corporate network with expensive stuff) and said that the connection is limited and network is unidentified. I try to
solve this problem with google and already try some regedit things, update Vista with SP2, update network controller driver and
try to limit speed & duplex to 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps but non of those works. Checked
also with linux and the computer gets the IP which mean that the network adapter works and there have to be some problems with this Vista Business 64 bit.
Does someone have any clues what is the problem and how to fix it?

Hi Thalian,
If you specify a static IP address, can you connect to Internet?
Meanwhile, what’s result of network troubleshooter?

My Ipod will not work anymore its just the apple showing could you please help me restart?

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.
