Never-ending restore: could this be a battery problem?

I have an 18 month old mini, which unfortunately never left the box until it was 13 months old and out of warranty. The first time I started it, my Powerbook would not recognize it. It showed the sad icon except when it showed the static battery. The genius bar in Sacramento said it needed a new battery, but we returned to Boston before the part came in. The genius in Burlington said there was nothing wrong with it; after I got home, the Powerbook showed the iPod as connected but said the hard drive was corrupt. I did a restore with the latest software, again got the "corrupt HD message". The genius in Cambridge said the HD is shot, trade it in for a new iPod. Went back to the Burlington guy, he restored it, and it worked fine for five weeks. I had to do another restore, worked fine for another three days. Now I intermitently get the sad icon and the static giant battery icon, the Powerbook only sometimes recognizes the iPod, and when I attempt a restore, it goes on for hours until either it freezes or I give up and terminate the program. Went back to Burlington, old genius is gone, new one says the HD is shot.
So.
Could this all be due to a bad battery?
Oh, and now I can get the iPod menu to show, but iTunes won't come up on my screen. (I did a "forced quit" to stop the restore, and now the iTunes screen will not come up and the iTunes icon still has an arrowhead under it). I reinstalled the disk, and checked for updates but I 'm apparently all updated (iTunes 7.0.2).
iPod mini model M9802LL Mac OS X (10.4.5) also says "model A1051"; version 1.4.1

This discussion group is for the Mac mini computer, rather than iPod mini. You would be better, I think, posting in http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=834 which is specifically for iPod mini usage problems.
Good luck!

My Ipod will no longer turn on could this be the battery

my ipod has quit and it has been on the charger could this be the battery? I have had it for over 6 years

More than likely, especially given the lengthy age of the device. Batteries only have so many charge cycles they are good for. After that, only time will tell and if your case, it sounds like it's totally shot in terms of being able to hold any sort of charge.
You can opt to have Apple swap out the battery for a flat fee or you can also choose to send it a third party service center who can do the same job for a little less. A quick Google search for "iPod battery replacement" should give you quite a few results to work with in terms of finding the best deal.
Lastly, if you feel like you are handy with repairing small electronics, you can choose to purchase a new battery and swap it out yourself. There are excellent guides over at iFixit that can walk you through the process step-by-step.

My ipad won't start up. I downloaded iTunes on my pc while my iPad was charging - could this have caused the problem? I don't want to restore to factory settings and lose data. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks, Linda

My ipad won't start up. I downloaded iTunes on my pc while my iPad was charging - could this have caused the problem? I don't want to restore to factory settings and lose data. I also recently successfully paired my ipad with a bluetooth keypad. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks, L

FYI, your iPad will charge much faster if you plug it directly into an electrical outlet.
When doing the reset, as Jackkcc suggests, make sure you let go of both buttons fairly promptly after the apple image appears, then wait another 10 seconds or so for the iPad to start up. Note that a reset does not alter any data or settings.

What is this noise, and battery problem on Iphone 4S

There was a battery problem on Iphone 4s so i was worried to buy it, but once I heard that Apple published new ios 5.0.1, I went down to the Apple store near to my house, and I bought Iphone 4S. First time meet with Iphone 4S great Siri, and more faster processer, I liked it, but after I used for 1 week I found many problems, there was battery problem still, and even there was noise problem, expeciallly the noise problem is annoying because when I phone call to my friend or home I can hear it very clealy...
please fix it apple

Reset, will reset the battery meter is this is the problem. To Reset, hold both the Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off", let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If not better, try tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. The set up your iPhone again. If not better, you may need to Restore the iPhone Firmware, I would perform this with iTunes on your computer.

Never ending restore cycle.

Today, my iPod touch would not sync to iTunes, and it told me I must restore.
So I restored my iPod, when it finished it said "Please leave iPod connected etc..." and had the 'Connect to iTunes' display on the iPod. iTunes just says it has detected an iPod in recovery mode and must be restored. I have been through this process and restored it 3 times now but it won't go out of recovery mode.
What do I do?

mine won't ever download an os pack. and now that it's stuck in the restor mode i can't do a thing with it. i've already tried all the problem solutions given on a site, but none worked. it just goes all the way down to the end of the download session, downloads all the mbs and then gets stuck later informing that there's an error connecting internet. although it dowloads all the songs etc well. so i have no idea how to bring it back to life!!

Could this be the battery?

I have an 8300 Curve approximately 1 1/2 years old. Every few days I will go to use the unit and find it completely dead. If I take out the battery and put it back in the phone reboots and works fine... until the next time that it goes dead. It also "dies" sometimes in the middle of a call. I use it mostly as a PDA and do not make very many calls with it. I'm hoping that it could be the battery but am reluctant to buy a new one to find out, as they aren't cheap. Opinions please.
Thanks in advance... Bob

If you don't want to buy another one then I not really sure what else you can try. Other than borrowing a spare from someone to test it out.

Guessing this is a battery problem. Any help?

I've had my 3G iPod for a little over 2 years now, and the battery life has dimished significantly. Recently, after a few hours of playing, it'll just crap out without the 'Low Battery. Please Recharge' message, it goes out just like I reset it. When it turns back on and I try to play a song, it dies again right as I select the song, but if I try long enough, I can usually get a song to play. My guess is that the battery's too weak to spin the drive, but any help you have would be much appreciated.
Extra question: If I ended up having to pay the 249 for a replacement, would it be another 3G or would it be a video?

It does sound to me like its a dead battery, but on the other hand im not ipod tech. as jeff said you can replace it on your own if you desire.. if you are not comfortable with trying to replace it on your own you could send it in to a ipod repair company and have them do it..
check out www.ipodresq.com and www.ipodmods.com
" Extra question: If I ended up having to pay the 249 for a replacement, would it be another 3G or would it be a video?"
I do not really understand your question.. can you rephrase it for me please?

My Ipod touch screen won't stay on. Right after turning the Ipod on it goes fuzzy even after a full charge. Is this due to battery problems?

Is this is sign the battery is a problem? Clicking sounds are also not working despite being tunred on, as well as the speaker.

I have experienced recent system lock-ups and I am require to shut down with the power switch could this be a OS problem or software related using LION with latest updates

Whats up with the system lockups just frustrated as to why. I could be checking mail, surfing the web or using PS Elements 9. Makes no difference what I am doing it occationaly locks up and requires a cold boot (windows talk).

I don't think so, Lion with the latest updates is running fine for most of us.
Post the log for your next lockup or the previous one if you can isolate the timeframe.

3g is not working but 2g is fine - could this be a hardware problem?

Just recently updated to IOS6 and now can't get 3g, but I also dropped my phone at the same time.
I've tried all the resets and changed SIM and the issue is definitely with the handset either hardware or software installed on it.
Is it possible that I've dammaged the 3g antenna? I get 2g fine, and wifi fine, so I guess my question is does the iPhone have seperate antennas for 3g?
Thanks
Dave

It very likely could be a hardware problem.
Are you certain that you did not simply disable 3G? Check Settings > General > Network > Enable 3G to ensure it is ON.

Could this cause me any problems ?

i have just purchased a new cpu cooler , but the problem is that the fan part of the akasa AK-876 is resting on the memory . i had to replace my 4x1gb of corsair dominator with kinston hyperX 2x2gb , but the fan still rests on the memory of i use the slots nearest the cpu (ka790gx)

Is it actually touching the memory or just looks like it? Can you take a credit card or something similar and slide it between the fan housing and memory? Can the fan be slid up the fins a bit like on my Hyper TX or is it locked in place?

Mac Switches Off (Is this a battery problem)

My Mac switches off automatically, even if my battary has 68% power left. I can only use my Mac if I have the Power Adapter plugged in.
If I turn my Mac on without the Power Adapter it shuts down before the Apple logo appears. Could this be a battery problem.

Same (identical problem) problem here. A few days ago it was not so evident, I felt like I was taking crazy pills: putting the book to stop and, when back, off.
Anyway now the mbp refuses to be turned on if the power cord is not plugged. Bad.
I'm gonna call for a replace tomorrow. (Little note, this is my third macbook pro. The first had broken isight and the second was a pit of panics.... speechless)

TS1398 Very weak WIFI on my new iPad MD511LL. Tried Apple suggestion, but they didn't work. Signal is variable from zero to two - never shows three 'bars' even on stronger wifi system. Could this unit be defective?

Just bought it last week. Have synced it with my main computer. It gets WIFI most of the time, but the signal never goes above two bars (curves) even when I'm in a strong WIFI area. Rest of the time it varies between zero bars (no service) to two bars - slow, slow, slow.
Already did the recommended shutdown and the WIFI on and off suggestions made by Apple. Already compared to other equipment, which receive a solid, strong three bars at all the same locations. Since this is the WIFI only model,quite alarmed at the problem. I need the WIFI to be able to pick up the signals better.
Could this be an antenna problem?? Behaves this way even when not in any case.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

D10, boot problems, a never ending fan test!

I hate this noisy fan test!!! My dog always panics, if it is in the room! But that's not the problem.
If I switch on the external mains, the fan test starts and ends after some ten seconds.
If I push the switch at the front of the maschine, the fan test starts and - sometimes - never ends. In this case, the maschine - obviously - will not boot. What to do? - Repeat the procedure. Sometimes I need 10 or more attempts to boot the maschine.
Now I found (shortly before I decided to bring the maschine back to the dealer): The fan test succeeds nearly every time (and the maschine will boot), if I switch off all the external USB-devices (5 disks, WLAN-stick, memory stick, etc).
My questions:
what's going wrong with the fan test at my maschine?
is it possible to skip this crazy fan test?
Thanks for your help!
Lenovo PC Think Station D10 6427-H6G, Windows XP

regarding the fan test, this cannot be disabled.   thinkstations are designed for 24/7 uptime just like servers and the BIOS tests the fans at every boot/reboot.   since there isn't much reason to turn these systems off or put them asleep, the best workaround is to leave your D10 running 24/7 as it was designed to do.   mine only gets rebooted for windows updates, software updates, or video driver updates.   otherwise, it's up 24/7/365.
regarding the fans getting stuck, update your BIOS.   the latest version can be found here.
also, if you put your system to sleep, be sure to wake it with the power button and not your keyboard.   a few users have reported their fans getting stuck when waking with their keyboards.   i'm not aware of the issue happening when using the power button.

You don't seem to be using the cursor iterator variable "pitcher" when you print the data to the file. You are not even passing any parameter to the "konami_mlb_career_pit_crsr" cursor. As such the first cursor "konami_mlb_pitchers_crsr" appears to be redundant.
Maybe the loop is time-consuming (instead of "never-ending"), and if you wait long enough, it will end. In the meantime, you may want to tune your logic.
