New problem: unexpected complete shutdown

Twice now I've been listening to music on my 160 Gb classic and my iPod has, without warning, instantly shut down -- no hard drive activity, the audio stops, and screen goes completely blank and dark, not even an apple screen to show it's rebooting. If I press play, though, it comes right back. Anyone else had this problem?
Between this and the other problem with 1-2 second pauses in the middle of songs I've mentioned elsewhere, I'm thinking I've thrown away 350 bucks on a piece of junk. What's going on with new firmware, Apple? I was thinking of making a MacBook my next big purchase, but if you don't fix these issues fast, I think I'll be looking for a company whose products are more reliable.

I had the same problem with my 80 Gb classic today, except it took me forever to get the thing to turn back on again. Anyone else out there haveing this problem, or know how to fix?

  • Two new problems with the Quicktime Plug-in

    I recently discovered two new problems with the current Quicktime Plug-in for Mac OS X.
    First, the Quicktime Plug-in is unable to stream Quicktime media in any internet browsers other than Safari.
    There is just nothing on the spot where the embedded Quicktime player should be.
    Second, the Quicktime Plug-in only shows the message "The operation couldn't be completed. This file is not a movie file (-2048)"
    everytime it should work together with the Flip4Mac Plug-in. The thing is, when facing a webpage where a wmv or wma file is
    embedded, there only shows that error message on the spot where the player should exist. I first thought that it would be a
    problem with Flip4Mac. So I uploaded about this problem on telestream.net, only to hear that the error message above belongs
    to the Quicktime Plug-in.
    Both of these problems did not happen at all only three weeks ago. The embedded Quicktime player showed up without any problem
    in my Firefox and Opera, and wmv or wma files were streamed successfully through the Flip4Mac and Quicktime Plug-ins.
    Then, suddenly, after some point, these two problems began to occur, and there is no information on how to solve them on the web.
    I obviously tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime. I even completely erased the hard disk of my Macbook, and reinstalled the
    whole Mac OS X. But the problems still remained. I borrowed another Macbook from my friend to check whether these problems
    occur in other computers, and they did occur in my friend's Macbook as well. So they are definitely not the matter of my own Macbook only.
    I think these might be the problems with the new Quicktime Plug-in 7.7.1.
    Please check about these problems and solve them on the next version of the Quicktime Plug-in.
    I will give you a couple of hyperlinks so that you can check about the problems directly.

  • Problem with complete task via email

    Hello,
    I have problem with complete task via email. I found this blog very useful (http://blogs.adobe.com/ADEP/2010/11/how-to-complete-a-task-via-email-using-reply-to-comple te.html), but...
    I set up everything as it’s written in blog mentioned above. When a task is assigned to me, I received an email notification with actions (accept, deny). After that I replied with action “accept”. Then I received email with subject “Errors from LiveCycle ES”:
    LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error:

    Can you me please? I have no idea what to do to succesfully complete task via email endpoint. Thanks

    Hi Diana, thanks for your reply.
    You're probably right about 2 different error messages.
    To the 1st one: I'm sure that status task is Assigned (to me). I received an email and I also reply on that email.
    To error log: I found out that error log appears when I enable email endpoint on Complete Task service. But I managed to solve this problem. I set wrong user. Now I have here the same user as is written in login-config.xml so log seems to be ok.
    So I created new task and tried to complete it via email. Now I receive email with another error:
    LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error:
    com.adobe.idp.dsc.provider.service.email.impl.EmailProviderException: Error getting user context
    This response to your original email

    And to the last point: email endpoint is set up with TestPOP3@mydomain and user receiving email has jpetrla@mydomain. I use Lotus Notes as email client, I tried another account with gmail, but the result was same.
    Now I really don't know to do...

  • Is this a new problem for the zen mic

    I havent found anything about this on the forum but I have to agree that I didnt search a lot , but since a couple of days, I got a new problem on my micro, it started skipping part into some songs then would go back and then skip some parts, it's very annoying and i'm quite pissed because my player is only month old, I know it's not my mp3 because they used to play very well on the player and I dont have any problems on my computers... what should I do? by the way, im not shaking the player when it does the skippingMessage Edited by vgtvidz on 02-06-2005 05:05 PM

    Sounds like something went south in the OS or actual mp3 decoder in the player. I might try a Clean Up in Resuce mode then maybe a Reload OS. You can get into rescue mode by turning off the player and taking out the battery. Push the power switch in the on position and keep it held over while you re-insert the battery. It should boot into Rescue mode. Try a Clean Up. It should display a status % complete and only take a few moments. Try the songs again and see if there's the same problem.
    If that doesn't work download firmware v.0.03 and select Reload Firmware via USB.
    If either of these things don't work and the source files are clean it might be a bigger problem that might require a replacement.

  • IPhoto editing results in black patches on photos - new problem

    Hello everyone - I am experiencing a brand new problem with iPhoto editing.  Have used the editing feature for four years without incident.  Since upgrading operating software a few weeks ago, I now experience sudden blackout patches on photos as soon as I click on the "Adjust" setting in the "Edit" mode.
    Here are a few details on my set-up and problem:
    iPhoto version: iPhoto'09 - Version 8.1.2
    Operating System: OSX Version 10.9.1
    Details - Black rectangular patches appear in either sections of photos, or completely obscure the photo whenever I click on "Adjust" in the "Edit" mode.  Only way out of this situation is to hit "Escape" key
    Did it every work properly?  Yes, for four years I never had any problems.  Liked the ease of the editing features in iPhoto.  Very recently upgraded operating system to version noted above.  Problem occurring since that time. 
    Error message? No
    What steps taken to date? None yet - Seeking assistance through this forum.  Thanks in advance. 

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

  • I have two new problems that started today- I can't delete drafts and I can't move emails from my inboxes to folders in mailboxesleft column ( I work on a MacBook 10.7.5- I have 2 active email accts in Apple Mail

    I have two new problems that started today- I can't delete drafts and I can't move emails from my inboxes to folders in mailboxes in the far left column. I work on a MacBook 10.7.5- I have 2 active email accts in Apple Mail. Any suggestions for steps I can take short of going to genius bar?

    However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
    saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
    Which particular .msi file does the message go on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

  • Starting new threads from within shutdown hooks

    I'd like to discuss this statement from the java 6 API:
    "A shutdown hook is simply an initialized but unstarted thread. When the virtual machine begins its shutdown sequence it will start all registered shutdown hooks in some unspecified order and let them run concurrently. *When all the hooks have finished it will then run all uninvoked finalizers if finalization-on-exit has been enabled. Finally, the virtual machine will halt*. Note that daemon threads will continue to run during the shutdown sequence, as will non-daemon threads if shutdown was initiated by invoking the exit method. "
    Now, my question is this: If I have a hook that starts a new non-daemon thread and then goes on to complete it's run() method, will the JVM finalize and halt? Or will it wait for my new thread to complete as well?
    I trust the specification, and believe that the JVM will either not allow me to create the thread or will finalize and shutdown even if it is running. However it's not explicitly stated anywhere, and I think that it's a hole in the documentation.
    I'm going to write a test case for this now. But chime in if you have thoughts.

    This is what happens if you start a new thread from a shutdown hook and do not wait for it to finish:
    public class ShutdownTest {
        private static class Shutdownhook extends Thread{
            public void run() {
                System.out.println("Shutdownhook starting");
                Thread t = new Thread(){
                    public void run(){
                        System.out.println("Thread successfully started");
                        try{ Thread.sleep(5000); }
                        catch(Throwable e){ System.out.println("Throwable from sleep: "+e); }
                        System.out.println("Thread successfully finished");
                t.start();
                //try {t.join();} catch (InterruptedException e) {}
                System.out.println("Shutdownhook completing");
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Shutdownhook());
            System.out.println("Exiting from main()");
            Runtime.getRuntime().exit(0);
    Exiting from main()
    Shutdownhook starting
    Shutdownhook completing
    Thread successfully startedHowever, as you might expect, if you join() or wait for the thread's isAlive() to return false, you will be able to complete the thread.
    I'll leave someone else to figure out if that new thread gets finalized and if finalizers on exit is on, what happens. Mostly because it doesn't matter for my purposes.
    Enjoy

    I make a new id and complete all fields and I but my cricket card information and submit but show me message to return to iTunes support

    Then you need to contact iTunes support.
    There is probably a problem with your credit card or AppleID.  If there is an account security problem, only iTunes support will be able to help you.

  • An interesting new problem

    I have recently run into a new problem.  It started a week ago with a couple of letters on the keyboard not responding when pressed, which I attributed to dirt or a straight malfunction in the keyboard.  Nothing interesting there, but it gets better. 
    A few days without the letter "a" and I am trying to call someone from the contacts, so I start typing and hit the key to enter the letter "u."  All of a sudden the maching is typing in a string of "w"s, which will continue until I hit the back arrow (or a functioning key).  Okay, it will go for at least 25 characters at which point my patience runs out.  That was odd.  I try a few more keys and get some interesting results, now "t," "y" and "u" cause the machine to enter "w" until stopped.  So, hit the "t" key and the machine imputs "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ..."  The "w" key actually results in "ippppppp ...."
    I tried a soft reset with no success, so I resorted to a hard reset.  No results, other than what the machine enters has changed, so pushing the "u" key resulted in "222222222 ...." an the other keys likewise went nuts in a new and unusual way.  Another hard reset, and I have a completely new set of useless gibberish being put down (I have tried typing in SMS, the phone contacts selector, a word file, and the server name box (It is a corporate phone), with no difference in output).
    One other observation.  The problem keys seem to be on the top row of the keyboard from Q through I (o and p have not been problematic) and the "a" and "s" keys on the second row, which tend to just function or not function ("Q" also seems to follow that trend).
    Does anyone have any suggestions? 
    Thanks

  • Macbook cannot complete shutdown

    A few months ago I noticed that my Macbook (2008 aluminum model running up to date snow leopard) cannot complete shutdown. It begins shutting down normally and the rotating circle icon appears, but it spins forever and never shuts down. I have to hold the power button to shut it down all the way.
    I've narrowed the problem down to something with iTunes. I can start the computer and everything loads fine, and I can shut it down normally having used most programs. However, if I open iTunes and listen to music and then try to shut down, even after iTunes is closed, it gives me the shutdown problem.
    I have tried completely removing iTunes and reinstalling, and that has not fixed the problem. Any and all help is greatly appreciated, as I use iTunes 90% of the time my macbook is on!

    This problem was fixed when I updated to OSX Lion.

  • New problem...SSD drive is no longer recognized

    OK, I was having the memory issues so I went out and bought new memory that is supposed to be compatible (GSKILL 2x4 MB 1333 DDR3), and now I have a brand new problem.  My SSD is no longer recognized, so I can't boot my OS.  I've tried swapping ports, swapping cables, cleared CMOS...I even put the WINDOWS 7 Disc in to see if it would find the drive in the install screen, but it says no hard drive found.
    Anybody know the issue I may be having now?

    I had a similar issue, my BIOS wouldnt recognize my Intel X25 after a blue screen in AHCI mode.
    In the BIOS I had to switch the controller type to Standard IDE. This made the drive visible again but to make it operable under AHCI, I had to use a Hex Editor from a DOS Boot Disk, and manually erase the first few sectors of the drive.
    Then I could switch the controller back to AHCI in the BIOS and repartition/reinstall Windows - Until the next blue screen .
    Obviously, doing this erases the MBR, allocation tables and partition table, and therefore makes ALL data on the drive inaccessible.

  • New problem printing from InDesign CS4 in Lion

    After having great success with Aisolve's earlier fix on printing from InDesign CS4 after upgrading to Lion, I'm having a new problems after installing the OS X 10.7.2 upgrade last week. When I try to print from  InDesign CS4 and Illustrator CS4 to my Lanier 445c/Ricoh C4500 at my workplace I get the following error message:
    "Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem."
    This seems like a different issue this time, as I'm able to print to my home printers, an HP LasertJet 2600n and an HP Photosmart C4270. I thought it might be a printer driver problems, but I've gone to Lanier's site and they don't have any new printer drivers for Mac OS X 10.7.
    I also some research on Adobe's site, and found this message affecting CS1, 2 & 3. I tried the only fix that seemed to apply to me, which was re-naming/deleting the InDesign Deafults and InDesign SavedData files. (I have this problems even when I'm printing a text-only file without any graphics.) This fix didn't work.
    I can print to the Lanier/Ricoh from Acrobat 9, and all my non-Adobe software just fine, so my work-around to date has been exporting to PDF and printing from there. My big problem is that I need the "Print Booklet" feature in InDesign for a big job I've got coming up this week. Can't do that from Acrobat. :-(
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    mmsteer,
    I think I may be able to help you with this problem, which I was having with CS4 when I first upgraded to Lion, and others were having with CS3. This fix is courtesy of Aisolve on these discussion boards:
    Remove the Adobe PDF PPDs from the following folders:
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
    OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
    Be sure to go to your system Library, not your user Library.
    Also, regarding my current problem, I spoke with an Apple tech person and found that the 10.7.2 upgrade apparently is the culprit, and is incompatible with wireless printing to my Lanier printer. I CAN print connected through USB. That's a work-around for now, but I'll need to contact Lanier about upgrading their driver for OS X 10.7.2.
    Aisolve was helping me with this issue, too, and assures me that if I'm able to generate a postscript file (which I was), and able to generate a PDF by distlling it through Adobe Distiller (which I am), then I can safely assume that the problem lies with the hardware, in this case the printer driver. This lines up with what Apple told me.

    You write that it worked "before"; before what?  An update?  Update from what version to what version?
