My reset has stopped working

Hello, I hope someone can help with this.
Every time I try to reset (centre button + Menu), or whenever my ipod automatically resets after so long without use, my screen goes grey, no apple logo or anything, and won't respond or come on again until I plug it into my computer. It is nothing to do with battery levels. I have tried holding reset down again & toggling ho9ld button, but nothing seems to work.
If someone can suggest something I would be eternally grateful.

First of all, you've actually got one of the iPod Photo, not the iPod with video... so you posted in the wrong forum. But, no big deal!
Anyway, the iPod you have, when new, comes with a plug-in wall charger, the only way to restore the iPod Photo, which you have, is to plug it in using that wall charger. Unfortunately, it sounds like you don't have that, so your only option is to purchase one. (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=E82 45892&nplm=MB051LL/A)
UPDATE: I read an article on Apple's support site (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93936) that says:
This icon appears on the screen during an update or restore that occurs when iPod is connected to the computer via a low or no-power connector. This can include some USB ports and 4-pin FireWire ports. When this appears, disconnect iPod from the computer and connect it to the power adapter. Then plug the power adapter into a power outlet. The update or restore will complete and iPod will restart to the main menu.
Sounds like you should try using a different USB port on your computer to connect the iPod.
BEST OF LUCK!

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

    "Why didn't iCare staff which is Apple's do something..."
    They did.  They told you what you should do to get the problem resolve.  Too, "iCare" is an AASP and provides service for Apple's products, but the staff is not employed by Apple.  It's not an "Apple Store".

  • Firefox has stopped working, tried resetting no avail

    my computer keeps saying firefox has stopped working I have tried resetting but this did nothing.

    Did you manage to solve your problem as you appear to have marked your above posted reply as the solution?
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 27: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Sound has stopped working on 1 account; works ok on another; how to reset?

    The sound on my main account has stopped working ....
    When I press the volume controls, I get a little "no go" sign and nothing happens
    No sound-related applications are working
    But when I log in as a different user, sound is working fine
    How shoudl I start debugging this one? (it has been working until recently, and I do not think I've installed anything weird...)
    Many thanks, Tony

    Thinking doesn't help, knowing does. Try this. Create a new admin user account, log into it, set up the sound prefPane as desired, and test that sound works. Open that account's Preferences folder (it's in the account's Library folder), make a list of those preference (plist) files, including those in the ByHost subfolder, log out and back into the problematic account, open up its Preferences folder, and move those list plist files into an empty folder on the Desktop, log out and back in and see if the problem's fixed. If so, then slowly move the moved plists back, log out and back in, and eventually you'll figure out which ones are conflicting or are corrupted. Once that's sorted out, deleted any moved ones remaining on the Desktop.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working - has issue been resolved?

    Hello.
    I am experiencing the above problem with a new install of CS6.
    Has this issue been resolved?
    CS6 Design and Web Premium installed on Win 7 pro 64 bit Dell Precision laptop. Error with Adobe Bridge cs6: "Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working", problem event name "APPCRASH". Error occurs when opening Bridge from Photoshop and other apps (Browse in Bridge) and directly from desktop or start menu. Also a cache directory is not being created under c:\user\<user>\appdata\roaming\adobe\bridge\. Holding ctrl key down and double clicking icon gets same message, cannot get at reset window.
    Performed the following with no change: verified Bridge and full suite is on latest version (Bridge=5.0.2.4); created desktop icon directly from bridge.exe; verified application was installed and is starting with administrator privileges; verified latest display driver installed; performed complete uninstall of CS6, CC cleaner tool run, then full reinstall; Error under Event Viewer: faulting application: Bridge.exe and faulting module name: ntdll.dll; disabled UAC; tested memory for damage using MemTest86-good.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    A follow up to the above.
    There appears to be a number of possible causes for this type of error. In my case it was somewhat specific. I had a stand alone copy on this same machine previously of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (only) which was completely uninstalled prior to the installation of CS6. There is an issue with Bridge CS6 being installed on a machine that has Bridge CS2 on it. I wasn't aware of Bridge being present with my copy of Photoshop CS2 but apparently there were at least some components of Bridge CS2 left after the uninstall. The workaround that solved the issue for me was the creation of an empty folder:
    C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS2
    For those of you who may have this situation.
    Here is where I found the solution (sixth thread down):
    Bridge CS6 won't open running on Win7

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • My microphone has stopped working on my ipad 2 16GB 3G.  How do I get it to start working again?

    I am not sure when it happened but my microphone has stopped working on my ipad 2.  I downloaded an application from the App Store called Starmaker for my daughter.  When she tried to follow the start up instructions, she could not make a demo recording as there is no sound.
    My daughter and I have used the recording/sound facility before as, when away from, I have used Skype and my daughter has used the talking animal apps.
    I have tried a hard reset and tried to clear the microphone by blowing on it and using the hoover attachment to clear it but unfortunately there has been no difference. 
    I would be grateful for any advice you have to clear this problem, so I can have the full use of my ipad again.
    Thank you.

    If you have a passcode on the device and you don't know it, then thats another issue. For that, the ipad will need to be restored. This may or may not also resolve your mic issue.
    You didn't say wether or not the mic fails with just this one app, or with facetime and skype as well.
    Try this audio recording app if needed to test further
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audio-memos-free-voice-recorder/id304075033?mt=8
    I'd stay away from using anything like a vaccuum on the ipad, but clean air might work
    Try backing up the ipad to both icloud and itunes first.

    After backing up your ipad, then try restoring it, first set up as a 'new' device.
