Old Geezer needs HELP. clicking on and off and on and off

I have an ipod classic 80. It keeps clicking on and off and on and off. The little apple logo pops up on the screen when it comes on but then it shuts off again. I hear a faint "clicking" noise when it powers off. I tried pushing menu and select buttons and nothing happens. I'm old, aggravated, and sad. Please help the elderly !

I sent the following to someone else a few minutes ago. It may help you also:
Plug the iPod into your computer. Go to iTunes. Click on the iPod icon in the sidebar of iTunes. Click on the Summary tab. Click on the restore button. This will delete everything from your iPod, so you will have to re-sync all movies, music, pictures, contacts and anything else you have on it. If you are using the disk-mode option, it will wipe all this data too, so be sure to back these files up before you embark on the restore procedure. This is all assuming that the iPod will mount and the clicking noise isn't what I think it may be; A failed hard drive.
If none of this works, and the hard drive has failed rather than the iPod just needing to be restored then it is almost certainly still under warranty (the 80gb Classic has only been around since last September so I think you qualify for repair).
And you can always work your way through the Apple hints at the following link:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If this doesn't resolve the problem, you should probably get in touch with Apple Support:
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
Good luck
From another slightly old geezer...

Need help to import and syncronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that?

Hi,
I need help to import and synchronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that? The default page "Select Remote Content" of the WorkCenter "Unified Navigation WorkCenter" is not working as well, when I run the import/sync button I get the following error message:
Integration Gateway: General Connection Failed (158,10836)
This error is thrown when there is no valid response.
Possible errors include:
Bad gateway URL
Sync Service Timeout set and Service actually timed out.
Java exception thrown - Check Application Server for possible Java exception

Do you have integration configured between the two systems? It sounds like you don't from the error. Here is a walk-through on setting up Unified Navigation although it assumes you have integration already working. If you haven't done that, it's documented a hundred different places.

Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image Adobe Premier Elements 13 need help! .jpg and mpeg images, but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago. I am desperate for assistance!

That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

I am new to this but need help. Lion and iCloud have never worked on my desk top or MacBook Pro. Slow or Stop! Is there any way to fix the problem?

HT1338 Need help locating where and how to update Mac OS-X 10.6.5 to the latest Mountain Lion Software...thanx John

I need help locating where and how to update Mac OS-X to Mountain Lion.....Thanx....Jay

First update your 10.6 version to 10.6.8 from the software update under the Apple Menu.
This will add direct access to the Mac App store via a new application.
Now launch the App Store from your Applications folder - Its the new icon a letter A formed from a ruler pencil and pen on a blue circle !
Once launched you need to add your iTunes account details or create an account add payment details etc...
Sign in purchase download and follow install processes to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
OH and to be safe BEFORE you install backup your current system to an external drive !

This is a second try to get help. I need help to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop cc 2014

Bridge is not working well, I need to reinstall Photoshop cc 2014 . Someone from Communities was suppose to help me.

Hi John,
I used the chat "Creative chat support" this afternoon at around 14:40
and the person, Karthik M , gave me a link to Technical Support. I
guess he could not help me, but he said he understood the issue.   With
the link "Help, Adobe Installation problems",   I will follow the
instructions to clean ps cc2014 with CCleaner and reinstall the app.
It looks quite complicated but I will give it a try and hopefully succeed.
You have to understand when reading my previous messages, the issue is
no longer "Retreiving Photoshop CC" but reinstalling Phoshop 2014 to try
to repair Bridge.
Thanks for caring,
Suzanne Lanthier

Hi srinivas.L

Dim oOrder As SAPbobsCOM.Documents
        oOrder = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders)
        If oOrder.GetByKey(530) Then
            oOrder.Lines.SetCurrentLine(1)
            oOrder.Lines.WarehouseCode = "01"
            If oOrder.Update() <> 0 Then
                MsgBox(oCompany.GetLastErrorDescription)
            End If
        Else
            MsgBox("Nothing found")
        End If
Hope this helps

Need help with imessage and someone else getting my texts.

Yesterday i bought a phone, NOT A IPHONE, a samsung. And i got a brand new number. The number i got belonged to someone else before they changed theyre phone, the Person has an iphone but changed their number. They CHANGED their number, but for some reason they are receiving MY TEXTS (only from my friends with iphones/imessage
) i was able to get a hold of him and i told him to just turn off his imessage. I read online about that youre supposed to turn off imessage and reset network settings etc. but i did not know at the time i am worried he will sign back into his apple id and get my messages again, or because he turned off imessage and put it back on while my NOW number be erased from his phone? thanks.

Wow...OK...let me see if I can understand that...if I boil all of that down, I think we are at this point.
You still want to send SMS to an email account -- I stand by what I said before; I know of no method that an SMS can be sent to an email. Now, if you are meaning some other kind of "text" or "messages" (there are many many kinds of those), then you will need to clarify exactly what you mean. What I gather from what you've said so far continues to mean "SMS sending to Email".
You do not have BlackBerry Internet Service on your BB plan from your carrier. As such, you will be limited as per this guideline:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
You may think that BIS is ridiculous, but that is a core function and feature of BB's. Period. Without it, all you have is a phone (IMHO).
Good luck!

Need Help Fixing iTunes and Getting Songs To Play

I have been having trouble with iTunes ever since transferring to a new computer several months ago. Fist of all, a different iTunes downloaded on the new computer that I don't know how to navigate or find anything on (and I HATE it!). After 2 or 3 months I finally figured out how to transfer my songs from the old computer to the new, but was not able to transfer the playlists. Very unhappy with that, but at least was able to put new songs on my iPod again. Today when I went onto iTunes it asked if I wanted to download the new upgrade, so I clicked yes and restarted computer when prompted. After the computer restarted I went back to iTunes and got an error message that said some things were missing and I needed to reinstall iTunes (I don't remember exactly what it said). I didn't know what to do so I Xed out of iTunes and turned it back on. A box asked if I wanted to reinstall and fix iTunes or untinstall -- I clicked the first one, to reinstall and fix and replace what was missing. After that I went back into my iTunes and discovered that most of my songs won't play. I get an error message saying "could not be used because the original file could not be found." I also found it unusual that I have purchased over a hundred songs over the years but when I click on "Purchased Songs" it only lists 20. I have hated iTunes ever since switching from my crashing XP computer to my new Windows 7 computer. Does anyone know how I can get all of my songs to play? Or how I can get my playlists back? when I plugged my iPod in months ago I thought the playlists might transfer to the computer from the iPod, but they didn't. I want to change some of the songs on my playlists and add more but I can't. Now I can't even play most of my songs. I am very distraught! Thank you for any help!!!

As M has noted, the more info that is presented in the question the quicker you will get a constructive answer. No one can read anothers mind. It is an art to write what ones thought are.
I will assume that you mean "default" as being your internal speakers. To change your sound output - assuming that is your question - go to System prefs and select SOUND. If there are any other sound output options then it would be listed and you can make your selection of speakers.
