Pain in the ***!!!!

I updated my iPod and its telling me to plug it into the wall but I lost my charger!! Does anyone know what I can do to fix it cos I can't do anything!! I've tried the 5 R's and they don't work and I've tried running the battery flat and that doesn't help!!! its a pain in the ***!!!! help me!!

When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see that icon displayed. It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
Or you can try this.

I make no claims as to whether this will work (but I've seen other posts where it has), but merely point it out.
Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

  • I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

    I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

    Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

  • My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

    My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

    Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
    Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
    Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
    We need to know exactly what you did
    And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
    For reference after you get things working
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • InDesign Pain in the A@@

    Ok I worked with Quark all of my career, now I am at a new place and Tech Supp. decided to go all Adobe CS2, I have no problems with that, love the suite, Love Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and so on...
    But ID is such a pain in the ...
    I work Very large documents, 200 pages plus, so, I make master pages, great, put my text boxes in the masters, to save time and layout pains, so there I go, start flowing the texts, but wait! All items that are on the master pages are lock, and I have to unlock each and every one by hand, don't tell me that does not bug the hell out of anyone here...
    At least in quark you could readjust your layout, the master items ARE NOT LOCKED!!!!
    Who can tell me in full how to have some items on the master editable and other not... and command shift is not an option with 200 pages and 10 items per page to unlock!
    Quark I miss you!

    Ok, first of all just a couple of tips...
    I noticed if you wanted to give your text frame a border you created two text frames. It's not necessary. Select the text frame and click Cmd+B and you can set the inset spacing.
    Also, I highly recommend you take advantage of object styles. They work just like paragraph styles. You can create them by example, too. Just select a formatted text frame and select create new object style. Then you just have to click on the name to apply all the attributes of the frame to any new frame.
    Here's a script that will override all master page items. So what you should do is first add all the pages you think you will need and run the script and everything will be unlocked. If you need to add more pages, just ad the pages and rerun the script. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to the script.
    myDoc= app.activeDocument
    for (var h = myDoc.pages.length - 1; h >= 0; h--) {
    for (var j = myDoc.pages[h].masterPageItems.length - 1; j >= 0; j--){
    if(myDoc.pages[h].masterPageItems.length>0){
    myDoc.pages[h].masterPageItems[j].override(myDoc.pages[h])
    Copy/paste it into a text editor and save it with a .jsx extension in your InDesign>Presets>Scripts folder, then in InDesign go to Window>Automation>Scripts and double click the file name to run the script.

    My location is sometimes wrong it says I'm in the middle of the ocean 80 miles away. This even happens when I'm connected to my wifi. This has become a really big pain in the ***. I've tried resetting and all that jazz but still I can't find a solution.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • When using Firefox as my browser, my "back" button no longer works? And by the way...getting help is a real pain in the butt on this site!!!!!

    When using Firefox as my browser, my "back" button no longer works? And by the way...getting help is a real pain in the butt on this site!!!!!

    see -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
    which explains how to completely exit (quit) your Mozilla application
    Try closing Firefox completely
    *Close Firefox properly '''File > Exit''', not with the "X" which just closes the window.
    *Use the Windows Task Manager "Processes" tab to make sure that firefox.exe is not running and also that the plugin-container.exe is not running.
    If that does not work, try restarting the system.
    If still no luck try restoring bookmarks from last backup, or better create your own .json backup and restore from that.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox#Creating_bookmark_backups
    *''If you had to go this far, please provide feedback if restoring bookmarks alone fixed the problem. I think I may have done that once with success, but never see that suggested -- I'd try most anything to not lose history or bookmarks. But then I could restore files from my profile and restore latest bookmarks backup from current profile.''
    The following will result in complete loss of history if it comes down to deleting places.sqlite, so rename files rather than deleting. With Firefox down.
    Of course you have backups of your profile you could replace rename and
    replace those files instead.

  • Hi guys I deleted my extension"bitdefender antivirus"but when I switch on my mac safari open up itself asking to instal the extension above what can I do to avoid this pain in the behind?Thanks

    hi guys I deleted my extension"bitdefender antivirus"but when I switch on my mac safari open up itself asking to instal the extension above what can I do to avoid this pain in the behind?Thanks

    Uninstall "BitDefender" completely, not just the Safari extension.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Flash pain in the........?

    Ok, so everything is fine with my G4 Powerbook now running 10.5.8 except for FLASH (read pain in the....). I've all sorts of info on what version to intall only they don't work.
    So, is there and intaller Flash App and the Flash App it's self? What version? is it 10.1.102.64 or something of that nature. One I found w/ and r in it  somewhere. In other words 10.1.102r.64?  Is it for Firefox, Safari, or Chrome? And just to confuse and confound, what is the debugger? Then! How to make it work! Why Adobe? Why do you make it so confusing? Any ideas? Folks. Thanks JN

    Hi James,
    They do make it confusing, & 10.1.102.64 is the latest supported version for PPC Macs.
    It should work for Safari & Firefox, but Chrome is Intel ionly besides having it's own version inside it I understand.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
    Download this if you haven't...
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
    Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
    Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
    Or I put up the smaller ones here...

    Stand alone player...
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/450421/LastFlashPPC.zip
    The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

  • OS 10.5 Leopard install a real pain in the neck!

    Before you install this new OS, make sure you backup all your important files. At work, I went to upgrade a non-intel, dual processor G5 tower, and everything was proceeding fine, when midway through the process it encountered a huge error and I was forced to "erase and install" the OS. My HD did not even come up as it was any longer. And, to top that off, it took 3 attempts at erasing and installing, because it kept snagging on something. I then had to restore my other files and apps from a backup, to my spare hard drive, and copy each of what I needed. All the graphics software had to be re-installed due to their anti-copying security features. What a pain in the @$$!!! Now, the G4 I put it on also had to be wiped and re-installed after a supposedly "successful" installation, because the spinning rainbow wheel of death appeared after I logged in, and would not stop. Any attempts at disk repair using Apple's own, or even TechTool Pro did nothing, and the permissions couldn't be repaired on either machine. Once I finally got everything working, after a day's worth of work, the new OS is very nice. I am not completely optimistic though. I have seen problems like this with Windows and PC's, but not for years on a Mac ( I do remember the bombs, error codes and death tunes the old OS and Macs used to make). Let's hope Apple fixes this, because I'm not upgrading my home machines until they do. OS itself is great, but the INSTALL is horrible!
    -Chuck L., Senior Graphic Designer, Long Island, NY.

    I'm so sorry for you. You've only had one problem that frustrated you enough to come to Apple's forums? You're lucky, as far as I'm concerned.
    Leopard is not perfect by any means, I've had a few problems with it myself, but your post doesn't help anybody. Not even yourself. It's just venting and it doesn't belong here.
    As far as the graphics software goes, that doesn't sound like Apple's fault to me.
    I'm sure Apple will fix all the problems. Please just don't post any more stuff like this. It really doesn't help anybody.

    <Email Edited by Host>

    We are fellow users here on these public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses and password from your post. If that is your current password that you've posted for everyone to see then you should change it IMMEDIATELY.
    I'm not sure that I understand all of your post. By 'google' do you mean your gmail email accounts ? If you do then how are you trying to access your email, via the Mail app and/or another app on your phone, the Mail program or a browser on your Mac ? If you are using the Mail app on your phone and you've checked your email account's password then you should be able to add that new password on your phone by tapping on the email account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then tap on the 'account' at the top of the next screen, and you should then be able to enter the new password. If you are using the Facebook app on your iPhone, and you've changed the password for logging into Facebook, then you should be able to update it on your phone via Settings > Facebook
    If you are using the Mail app on your Mac, then to change your gmail password in it (assuming that you've changed the password for it) then go into Mail > Preferences (command-comma), select the Accounts tab on the preferences, select the gmail account on the list of accounts, and on the right-hand side of that screen you should be able to update its password.
    If the problems are on your Mac then you might be better off re-posting in one of the other forums (e.g. Safari, and there are forums for various Mac OS X versions), and there is also a Using iPhone forum - this forum is for the iTunes Store e.g. buying, downloading content from iTunes.

  • Xperia Z Phone Continuous Vibration Problem - A Pain in the Neck

    I just wanna know something.. I bought the Xperia Z in March'2013 and I just love, love, love it. However, it started to act weird, maybe two weeks back, when all of a sudden it started to vibrate, (maybe for 3 or 4 hours non stop) and factory settings reset did not help at all. So, had to update the phone software AGAIN using Sony Companion which was pretty frustrating. After losing all my data (since I had forgotten to keep a back up), I was finally able to fix it (which now seems was temporary). The phone has started acting all weird again, it has started vibrating again and I tell you its very annoying after having burned a hole in my pocket just to buy it. So, how many times, just how many times will this be a pain in all the wrong places possible?
    Another thing is that, the battery literally gets heated up, if I have the internet (2G/3G) on or even the Wi-Fi or if I'm listening to music and it becomes really hot. The battery really drains out super fast and I have to charge it yet again. So, now I want to know what would be the best possible solution because I need one, and I need it fast. The phone is still under the warranty period so I am thinking of having it replaced 'cause I can't (Read: Simply CANNOT) afford to have this phone giving me problems over and over again.
    So help! I want this FIXED and want it FIXED Asap!
    Really ******ed & disgruntled Customer

  • Changing appleid password is a constant pain is the *%$#@

    I'm repeatedly frustrated with the way the password system does and does not work.  A quick round up of my most recent pains this morning:
    Having been forced to use a capital letter in my nice long non-dictionary safe password, I forget it when i am propted to update an app.  (Why can't iOS remember my password for updates? Why do I even need a password for free updates?) I have to reset after three attempts
    Since i've used my password before, i can't have it again.  seriously?  what is the problem here?  Now I have to remember an additional password, which increases the chances of having to reset it.  I am sure this one policy alone causes untold zillions of people to follow even worse password management, like writing it down or storing it in an email or whatever.
    The password reset via the phone browser just does not work.  Full stop.  I reset it and it does not take.  I must go to my computer to reset it.
    Going from the password reset screen to this forum requires re-entering my new password three times!  Why?  Twice, maybe, on the outside.  but three?
    It's not just me, it's not just a one off problem.  The Intertubes is full of other frustrated users dealing with general 'appleid password managment does not work' issues.
    So.  Apple. My dear: Please go hire a "Password Management Design Engineer & Coordination Maestro" to synergize all the different moving pieces--iOS, iTunes, App Store, Web Site, Security, etc.  We users are suffering.  Please.
