Odd ipod problem needs someone smarter then me

i plugged in my ipod to charge and update it and that was about 4 days ago. i keep getting two different results. either it just stays at the "do not disconnect" stage, or "please wait, battery is very low". and then sometimes i get a "charged" screen and i disconnect only to find its not charged at all and when i connect it again and it says ipod or itunes file is corrupt. i can't do any of the 5 R's because the battery is dead and it won't let me. i've searched the support pages but can't seem to find anything that works. does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. thanks so much

Was this by any chance the first time you have connected your iPod since upgrading to iTunes 7 because if it is the new software is causing havoc to any iPod it comes in contact with.

  • Unique Problem, Need someone smart

    I connected my iPod shuffle to my Xbox, and my Xbox formattted it and put new firmware on it, making it useless on Windows. I tried restoring it via the newest iPod updater, but it says "iPod service error." iPod service.exe is NOT on task manager's processes. On My Computer, it showed as a removeable disk. I clicked it and it said "Drive not Formatted. Format Drive?" I formatted it and now it is back to the FAT32 File system, but iPodservice.exe still isn't running resulting in no iPod Updater ALSO resulting in I CAN'T RESTORE IT!!!

  • Need someone smart to help me out with uploading songs from iPod to PC !!

    Okay, I apologize, in advance, if this topic has already been covered so please just humor me. Here's my dilemma :
    I have an exchange student staying at my house. She was given a Nano for her birthday in November and the first host families daughter put a bunch of songs on it. Then she went to the second family and somebody ( she doesn't know who or how ) was able to take her songs on her Nano and put them on another iTunes list. Now she's with us and I can't figure out how to do it. I tried just hooking it up and seeing if My Computer would recognize it, which it does but when I try to open it, it says "The disk in drive E is not formatted-Do you want to format it now ?" Obviously I don't want to erase all the songs she has on here. Any suggestions ? Thanks for all help guys !

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    PodPlus Windows Only
    Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy with, they are generally quite straightforward.
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive through Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

  • Won't wake, tried everything - need someone smarter!

    My Intel iMac running 10.5.6 had been working fine since late 2007, but has recently had problems waking up. Holding down the power button does nothing - black screen, no fan or drive noise. The only way I can get it to reboot is to unplug it for a few hours. Things I've already tried to resolve this:
    1) Reset SMC several times by unplugging for extended periods - will reboot, but problem comes back (i.e., will go to sleep then may or may not wake)
    2) Did a disk check - nothing to repair
    3) Rebooted, resetting the NVRAM - no improvement
    4) Did a complete erase and reinstall of Leopard, moving only files over from my TM drive (not profile or apps); upon reinstall of the OS, the only app I loaded on was Photoshop CS4
    5) Bypassed my power strip, plugged straight into the wall (running short on ideas...)
    It has occasionally gotten hung on rebooting (gray screen, black screen - hence the extended unplug period to fix) and once it gave me the file folder and question mark icon on startup, but subsequently completed boot up. The only sure way at this point to get the machine to work, is to unplug it for several hours.
    Any guesses? Hardware or software?
    Thanks!

    Hi Texas Mac Man!
    I did not update firmware when I originally looked into upgrading to OS X because there was some incompatibility problem I read about when reading about firmware so I decided against upgrading. My daughter has a newer iMac with OS X so I tried a copy of her disks to see if I could get it to boot up. So I don't believe the OS X is on the iMac but I'm not positive.
    Looks like it will take me a little while to read through the tutorial and find which battery and get it but I won't mark this answered just yet.
    I am very happy to have heard from a local Mac person!! I didn't know where to go for help. Are you a service person or just a helpful person? If I can't get it working, I will need to go to someone who can fix it.
    Thanks!!

  • Major iPod Problems, Need Help Solving

    One day I was casually syncing my iPod video with my computer to get a few new songs uploaded onto it.
    Suddenly, the iPod freezes up, shuts itself off, restarts, and magically it has forgotten everything and pretends it is a brand new iPod.
    No problem, I think, believing it will just need to load the songs again and everything will be fine.
    However, this is not the case.
    The iPod would then continue to load all the songs, shut down after loading them, restart and again pretend it is brand new and lad all the songs again.
    This continues to happen again and again.
    I try to update my iPod, figuring it may just be a version error or somesuch nonsense. The updater refuses to work and actually causes my iPod to crash, saying it has a diskwrite error.
    It refuses to "System Restore" on my computer, so I run the "System Restore" on another window computer that I own. And it runs just fine, making the iPod load songs once more.
    And I think, problem solved!
    However, again, this is not the case.
    I load it once, everything goes fine.
    The nxt day, after buying more songs, I try to upload and after the upload, the iPod shut off, restarts, and pretends to be new once more.
    I go through the "System Restore" process again, but afterwards, the iPod all out refuses to upload my music fully, shutting off about halfway through the process each time.
    And now whenever it is plugged into my computer, windows says it is unreadable and must be reformatted, so I run the updater and it says that there is an "iPod manager internal error" which could basically be another language considering my only basic knowledge of computers.
    Is there any way to repair my iPod at home? Or must it be sent in to Apple?

    GREAT NEWS!
    Last night, through some very thorough digging in the
    "Search Discussions", I found the answer and now my
    iPod is running perfect once more!
    Thank you very much for your help b noir. Without
    you, and many others on this board who had their
    problems solved by equally helpful people, I would
    still be digging through Apple's support section to
    no avail.
    PS. I found the answer in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?message

  • Parallax Scrolling help in Muse? This tricky problem needs a smart solution.

    I'm trying to build my portfolio website in Muse and want my text to move along with my images as you scroll, like it does here: http://jessicahische.is/feelingmelancholy
    I have been trying to use parallax scrolling to achieve the effect, but I'm having a lot of trouble.
    Basically, I want my text to start moving with the scroll, but not to start moving until the first image hits the top of the browser. Just look at the link above to see exactly how I want it to look. Does anyone know how to acheive this effect?
    Thanks!

    Just in case anyone is still curous - I figured it out!
    First of all, if you're having trouble viewing the scroll effects panel, go to Window > Scroll Effects, and the new panel will pop up. Click on the text or whatever element want to scroll alongside your first image image, and set it's "key position" - the little handle at the top - to the top of the first image, or in my case, just above the top of the first image. Then set all of your of you motion positions to 0 px except the top one - which should be 1 px. See attached screenshot. Respond if you have any questions.
    Hope this helps someone!

  • Help! I need someone smart!

    My iPod has been completely cleared of all its music. I plugged it in and all of the songs erased. I will plug it in but a message comes up saying 'iTunes cannot update this iPod because it does not recognize the folder 'COMPAQ_OWNE' . How do I fix this!??!?!?!

    I have already tried restoring, and when I connect my iPod, the page with the iPod doesn't show up in iTunes (the page with the picture of iPod and a few tabes saying iPod, Summary, etc.). I don't think iTunes recognizes my iPod? It took me about five minutes to pull up that tab in my Library and I don't remember how to do it. Help! Again!

  • I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

    I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. This is the same with many other apps as well and not just temple run. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

    So, you need an older version of the iOS app, because the current version no longer works on your iPod touch.
    If you do regular backups of your hard drive (as you should), such as by using Apple's built-in Time Machine (if you use a Mac), you may find the older version of the app in the backup archive, and restore it (replacing the newer version).  They are stored in the iTunes Media folder, in the Mobile Applications sub-folder.  You should then be able to sync the older version to your iPod touch.
    I can't think of any other way to get it back...
    NOTE:  An 2nd gen iPod touch can run up to iOS 4.2.1.  If your iPod touch is running something earlier, and that is why the app no longer works, you can also consider updating the iPod's iOS.
    I use an even older iPhone (original).  I avoid this potential problem by aways updating its apps on the iPhone, not in iTunes on the computer.  When I do it on the iPhone, it will not download a newer version of an app that won't run on my old iPhone.
