My wife ran the battery down in her shuffle. When I plug it in to the wall or computer, it will blink red solid for about 3 seconds and then shut off. Is the battery that dead, or is something else wrong. ITunes does not show the shuffle

Hi Jennsman40,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If this symptom persists even after you charge your iPod Shuffle, see this page for some troubleshooting steps:

I am trying to lauch an app on my itouch. When I try, it opens for about 2 seconds and then shuts down. I have deleted the app, reset my itouch and download 3 times with no success. Any suggestions?

I am trying to lauch an application on my ipod touch. When I try, it opens for about 2 seconds and then immediately closes. I deleted the application, reset and restarted my ipod and then download the application again. Still no success. The application is legit: Crunchtime for Contracts.
Any suggestions?

I suppose the app has problems with your soft and hardware. Or maybe its a known bug of that app.
Try Uninstalling->Rebooting->Installing->Rebooting.

My itouch 3g is stuck in a boot loop. The apple logo shows up for about 3 seconds and then turns off. I can't get it to go into dfu or recovery mode. Please Help!

I don't know what to do.

Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.

Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store.

When I try to open a downloaded PDF file it opens for about 6 seconds and then closes - how can I fix that?

I am using a Dell XPS8500 desktop with 64 bit Windows 7.
No problem downloading PDF files but when I open them they disappear before I can print.

Hello,
Which application are you trying to open the PDF files in? Firefox or Adobe Reader? Or another?
If adobe reader then please make sure that your copy is up to date. You can get the latest version here - http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/
Also I notice that you are using Firefox 19. Unless you have a particular reason to run an old version of Firefox is it much better to keep updated. The latest version is v22. New security fixes are applied in every new version of Firefox. Without them your PC is vulnerable. Please see this article: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

Hello, I would just like to report the little problem with the apple store. When I try to download an app it loads for about 2 seconds and then it stops downloading! I don't know what's wrong

Hi, when I try to download an application the app stores downloads it for about 2 seconds and then it stops downloading it! I don't know what's wrong?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

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.
- Try another cable
- 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.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help. Ended up logging out of my apple ID account. Of note, when I did I did a quick test and checked out both the movies and tv show options, and it all worked perfectly. I then logged back in, and now all my purchased and rentals are available which makes sense. I guess with the update there was some weird bit of trons that required one to log out then back in. Probably doing a rest in between may not hurt for some. Thanks again for all the assistance. Cheers.
It looks like there is a Apple doc for this problem here -> Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating

I have just started with apple tv. I rented and downloaded a movie from itunes on my macbook pro and tried to watch it. I got the movie up, but it only played a picture for about 3 seconds and then stopped, also no sound? What am I doing wrong?

Please help me play a rented itunes video on apple tv. Have a pictue and movie runs for about three seconds, and then stops. No sound? But I can play any music from my library with sound?

Is the movie still buffering? you may have a slow internet connection. Music files require far less bandwidth than movies.

While in email today, the computer began flashing. I had to turn off with button. When I turned it back on, I got the apple icon and the moving loading wheel. It would turn for about 60 seconds and then stop. I turned off again. I now have a black screen.

When I'm browsing on Safari, it all of a sudden cuts off and the screen turns blue. It turns blue for about 5 seconds and then returns to the desktop screen. Any idea what's going on?

I've downloaded ADE 4.0.3, apparently successfully, and I 'Close the 'Completed' window. But, when I attend to run the program, I get an hourglass for about 2 seconds and then ... ... nothing! Clearly I can't authorize my computer for download. Ideas?

Try restarting your machine and Launch ADE again

My wife ran the battery down in her shuffle. When I plug it in to the wall or computer, it will blink red solid for about 3 seconds and then shut off. Is the battery that dead, or is something else wrong. ITunes does not show the shuffle
