Please dont die...!!!

can someone please suggest why my ipod doesn't start up. when i try and turn it on, you can hear it trying to whir up but then dies then tries to whir up again but dies again.
then a sad ipod cartoon comes up. i went to the support page and it suggests that the ipod needs to go into service. i'd rather not take in to service firstly because of the cost and that it would probably cost more to serice than the ipod is worth. and secondly, the hassle.
please someone suggest anything.
thanks.

Hi crafty_me!

  • Please Dont say "Yes" ...Updating Itunes

    Hello Everyone,
    Please please please dont say YES ... i tried to update itunes to the latestest version last Saturday, it downloaded to the prompt screen where is says "RUN" software, UNFORTUNATELY my 16 year old wanted to use MSN and crashed the PC
    Now everytime i try to double click itunes on the desk top it wont open and says something like "cannot open, not all components installed"
    Is there anyway i can reinstall without loosing all her library??? if so there will be floods of tears!!!! it took me/her months to build up her library!!!
    Any help would be very gratefully recieved
    All the best and Smiles (i hope)
    Julian

    Is there anyway i can reinstall without loosing all her library???
    Well, in spite of your plea, I'm going to say "yes". Yes, you can probably reinstall iTunes without losing the library. But I would strongly suggest that you make a backup of any tracks that you/she purchased from the iTunes Music Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace before you reinstall, just in case something goes further amiss.
    BTW, if by "PC" you mean that you're running a Windows system, for future questions or if you experience problems reinstalling, you'll normally get the best and quickest advice if you post in the iTunes for Windows area.

    Im sorry that you have some issue with iOS 4.2.1 however please do not tell people not to update to iOS 4.2.1. 99.99% of people do not have an issue with the latest software. If you are having issues have you try the basics; reset, restore, restart?

  • My itunes deletes all of my apps, music and movies every time i go on it and i have to recover it, its such a painand if anyone can help please dont hesitate to comment

    Every time i go on my itunes its as if i have just got it and i have never used it before it's as if it resets over night and the next day i have to load all my apps, music and movies back on to it. if anyone can help or if anyone knows someone who can please say something because its a right pain in the neck. My operating system is Windows Vista and my Itunes version is 10.2.2.12
    please help  

    Your problem is normally caused by a program locking the iTunes library so that iTunes can't close properly. There have been a number of causes fro this.
    There is a problem with media management software Vaio xml library Manager, the Vaio content manager and the Vaio Music Box software
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8537277#8537277
    Work around:
    In Control Panel, turn off Vaio Content Folder Watcher and VAIO Content Metadata Intelligent Analyzing Manager.
    Also see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2715
    Sony has issued upgrades for some models, check you Sony download site to see if there is one available.
    I would check the work around first.
    If that's not it, try temporarily disabling you continuous backup to see if that is the cause.

  • PLEASE DONT TELL ME..........

    I just bought a brand new desktop. I have been busting my brain trying to figure out how to get the songs on my iTunes library from the old computer to the new one. Please don't tell me that once you register to one computer, you have to keep it for the rest of your life or start over!? Why can't I log on to any computer with my iTunes account and my stuff pop up in order on any computer I log on too. I logged on to my old computer and the new one at the same time and one has all my music and the other is empty. Why isn't my account universal? Its like have two different accounts or profiles. How do I get all my songs on my iPod on to my new computer and not just the ones I purchased through iTunes but the ones that I had on CDs?

    Connect your iPod to your old PC, open iTunes select the iPod and check the box that says Enable disk use
    Now you can use the iPod as a removable drive and copy the music on it and transfer it to the new PC
    Add the songs to the new iTunes library, select Store>Authorize computer so that you can play your purchased songs on the new PC also

  • Please dont erase music

  • Please DONT UPGRADE TO ITUNES 10.4

    When you upgrade your pc to itunes 10.4 you only win a lot of problems.
    Your cpu will hang at 100% of use and your pc will be too slow.
    The service AMDS Apple Mobile Device Service take a 50% of your cpu.
    It not will be possible enter to itunes store.
    It not will posible sync your devices (iphone, ipad, ipod..)
    Maybe you lost your music library.
    Maybe you will need to uninstall all the apple software and reinstall it.
    You lost a lot of your time (hours) with problems.
    Please don´t upgrade to itunes 10.4.
    Believe me, this version is veru problematic.

    Also it is nice to know that some people have no problems with iTunes there are howeveer a lot of us that do. I have several PCs some where iTunes works like a dream, others which are new and excellent in every way escept when it comes to iTunes. The only issues I get seem to be iTunes related. So I feel completely entitled to give Apple a bit of critique.
    The problem maybe the time between updates or missed updates, who knows, there is probally problem with the user files or registry. A solution, MAYBE, is do a complete uninstall, that means uninstalling not just iTunes but the files and registries associated with iTunes. There is a page somewhere on iTunes support that takes you through this process it takes a while and lots of restarting. Once done re-install iTunes 10.4.

  • Please tell me a way to find my ipod!? please dont say i cant?

    i really need to find it please help!!!1

    Unless you had FindMyiPhone already setup and wifi is on and the iPod is within range of a open wifi spot or a spot that it is set to automatically join and the iPod has not been restore, you are out of luck.  If stolen, report it to the police and change the passwords for accounts used on the iPod.

  • Please dont lock device when airplay mode is ON

    I tried to watch video podcasts on  TV but stream was stopped because of ipad lock. Please fix it.

    after spending hours trying to solve the problem, my Ipod still doesn't work.
    when i reinstalled my AMDS, my computer still did not recognize my Ipod in recovery mode. so i tried to update my usb drivers, but this did absolutely not work, i even had to restore my computer, because my usb-ports didn't recognize any usb's connected to my computer.
    and the article about error messages, i had already tried that one before i posed my question on this forum.
    i am also really busy with schoool this week, and with watching all the matches of the World Cup in South-Africa.
    i can really be disappointed that I can't get my Ipod back to work.
    so maybe you have any (better/more) suggestions.
    By the way, it is not your fault that my Ipod isn't back to work, you have helped me a lot.

  • Please dont pick on me - Connect Windows PC through my Airport

    I am running a G4 Dual Processor with full RAM. I am unemployed and will start Windows certification classes to get hired. I have a P1 PC that I want to connect to my DSL service through my Airport. What do I need to do? Cost isn't an object.
    G4 Dual   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    You will need to get a wireless (802.11g) adapter for the PC.
    I am presuming that you have an Airport base station.

  • Trial version for mac please,, dont exclude us

    isnt there a trial version of authoware for Mac osx?? why is
    that?? Why should Adobe exclude us? Im a student and im in
    desparate need for a trial version for mac osx (intell) :(

    Yeap, as Steve says...
    Your best bet, if you really want to run the current trial
    version on
    your IntelMac, is to load BootCamp or Parallels and install
    (!) Windows
    on your Mac, which will then likely allow you to run
    Authorware in it's
    required Windows environment on your Mac.

  • String validation [ Please dont use StringTokenized or parsing methods]

    Hi
    String strValue = "ENUMORD1:CLEAR;ENUMORD12:NOCLEAR;ENUMEXE1:CLEAR;ENUMEXE2:NOCLEAR;"

    anyone help .. Greatly Appreciated.

    String.split(...) internally does use the regular expression, after all. But if you wish to incorporate more flexibility in your program then Pattern and Matcher class are more suitable.
