Please help Ipod power issues!

My Ipod is little over a year old and just wont turn on all of a sudden. I have tried the 5 basic troubleshooting steps. I currently have it charging via the computer. Itunes does not recognize the Ipod is connected at all and it makes a strange quiet humming/vibrating sound. Is the dang thing dead?

Try doing a reset on the iPod again to be sure.
Slide the hold switch from OFF to ON back to OFF then immediately hold down BOTH the center and Menu buttons for a good 15-30 seconds or until it restarts with the Apple logo.
Resetting isn't always effective once and you may need to retry it several times to get it to work.

  • Please help, iPod Nano and iTunes issues

    1. I can't update my iPod Product Red. I've downloaded the update, and when I click "update" in iTunes, it just sits there for hours saying its updating
    2. The first time I start windows, connect my iPod Nano and then start iTunes (or even the other way around, start itunes then connect ipod), my nano doesn't show up in itunes. I need to restart the service after plugging in the nano every single time!
    3. I cant restore my iPod Nano either, the same problem with the updating my ipod, the progress screen just goes back and forth for hours without doing anything, infact my nano just seems like it looses synch during both an update and a restore, because the do not disconnect message on the screen goes away once either update or restore process is started.
    Please help! This is my first ipod purchase and so far it is really disappointing me and frustrating, thanks

  • Please help - CD import issue in itunes

    I would really appreciate some help.
    I have a Sony Vaio laptop and a HP I Pod.
    Have used Itunes with no problems for 9 months and have imported/ripped hundreds of CDs into my library with no issues.
    Recently, however, iTunes stopped allowing me to import/rip CDs into my library. When I try, it imports the first 4-5 seconds of the first song and then locks my entire computer up. I have to power down the laptop.
    I attempted to run the CD diagnostic through iTunes, that also locked up the laptop.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes several times.
    I had my IT guy look at the laptop and do some preliminary research. He indicated that this is not uncommon and that others have reported having this problem since upgrading to iTunes 6.0.
    Based on that, I un-installed 6.0 and went back to the version that came with the iPod. I think it is 4.9. Problem still exists.
    Please help. I still have a lot of music I would like to load into iTunes.
    Thanks!

  • Please Help- IPod Classic and Mac/Itunes

    Hi all,
    I'm new here because I have a bit of a problem. Please forgive me for my lack of general computer/Ipod knowledge...
    I purchased my MacBook about 4 1/2 years ago. I'm not sure exactly what model I have, but the age should help you determine that.
    I also purchased my Ipod about 5 years ago. I think it's the first "video" Ipod that came out. It's 40 Gig, white, and pretty basic.
    I've taken exquisite care of my Ipod because I'm just interested in putting my new CD's on it, and taking it with me in the car so I don't have to lug around 40 CD's all the time.
    Anyway, for the last 2 years or so, my process of putting new music on my IPod was as follows:
    1. Open Itunes
    2. Import CD
    3. Hook Ipod up to the USB port (my Ipod is not synched)
    4. Click and highlight the new CD and drag it to my Ipod
    5. After updating, disconnect my Ipod
    6. Delete CD off of Itunes libary
    This has gone off without a hitch for quite some time.
    The other day, I went through this exact process, as I've purchased a new CD, but I had an issue.
    After I plugged my Ipod in, Itunes recognized it, as usual. But, on the Ipod screen, it continued to flash "do not disconnect." After a half hour of waiting, it didn't go away. I tried to drag the new songs to my Ipod like usual, and then disconnect, but to no avail.
    In the past, when I hooked up my Ipod, after about 20 seconds, the "Do Not Disconnect" screen would disappear, and take me to my main menu (on the Ipod).
    Now, that screen doesn't turn off, and I can't get new songs onto the device.
    Please help...I'm not very good with any of this, and would very much like to hear my new music.
    Thanks for your help!
    Jeff

    hold the menu and middle buttons down together until the screen on the ipod goes blank. that restarts it then try your normal process again

  • Please help ipod not formatting

    please help
    going on long trip, want to use ipod for first time
    when insert ipod cd, asks to connnect ipod, recognizes ipod
    attached using USB2.0, says needs format, click on format, just sits there with blue bar scrolling left to right while saying waiting for ipod, and does not let you click on back button format button, or cancel button
    so close window and window behing which couldn't see before says enter serial #, do that goes through rest of installation, then if plug in ipod, windows recognizes it but itunes doesn't, also when using ipod updater says plug in ipod so i do but never allows me to click update or restore
    problems probably all related to formatting issue
    have tried several solutions suggested on web but none work
    so disappointed
    appreciate any help

    The best way is to restore the iPod Updater (latest version please)instead of formatting, unless your iPod could not get recongized by your PC. I will try to put it in Disk Mode (press "Select"+"Play" keys) and connect with your PC, open your iTunes and hope that you can see your iPod's icon in it, then open the iPod updater and do a restore.
    If you still cant solve your probelm, someone in this forum suggested to do a chkdsk.
    I got disappointed with the XP, I finally managed to format my iPod using 3rd party software i.e. "Partition Magic" and got it fixed up

  • Please help. ipod will not show up and i have tried everything

    i got my ipod two days ago. ipod nano 4gb.
    when i plug it into my computer it comes up with 'do not disconnect' and occasionally a small circle icon in the top left-hand corner. the computer recognises that there is a 'mass storage device' connected, but the ipod doesnt appear in itunes or my computer.
    when i unplug the ipod it displays the apple symbol and then goes to the language selection menu. after i disconnect it i also get a message saying that the file could not be saved to the drive because it was interrupeted or something like that and i should try storing it somewhere else.
    so thinking that maybe this was it being updated, i let it plugged in all day while i was at school because surely that would be plenty of time for anything to load onto it. But when i got home today it did the same thing.
    I have two computers and the same thing happens on both.
    I have tried it using my sisters usb cable, still nothing works.
    Any ideas? Oh on one of my computers it doesnt let me uninstall itunes as well.
    And when I try to open the updater to restore the ipod it freezes the application and i have to do controlaltdelete and close it.
    I am SO angry about it right now.
    Since i only bought it a few days ago do you think i could get a repleacement from the store where i got it or will i have to go all the way through apple.
    I havnt been able to use it once and it is making me very frustrated, please help me if you have any ideas.

    Sally,
    OK since you using 2 computers, we will first focus on the one that will not uninstall iTunes, afterwareds we will get the ipod working on one PC first.
    On the PC that will not uninstall iTUnes, goto control panel>add and remove and try if you can to uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime. Then go here and roll down to "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    Once done disable any antivirus or security programs, then goto apple.com to download and install the latest iTUnes.
    Also on BOTH pcs make sure you have "ipod updater 06-28-2006" you can download and install it here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    Once iTunes is properly installed on this PC, you need to only connect your nano to the main PC you use for now so we can get it working, then we'll focus on the other PC if needed

  • Please help with Contribute issue- Adobe or anyone!

    My issues are many- I don't know where to start. First, as a long-time Adobe customer, I can not believe how support has declined- I really miss my "support package" from the early 90's when I spoke with a person who really knew how to address my problems and/or questions. I am so tired of being outsourced to someone who has no idea how to address my problem- only to send me to "Document #8932023912 03" off of the Adobe website. I want to talk to someone who KNOWS and APPRECIATES this product, and who understands its internal behavior (like what I get when I call MAC SUPPORT). I will pay for it! I have invested thousands of dollars on Adobe software and am now at an unacceptable standstill.
    My small business relies on the Adobe Creative Suite 4 and the Contribute program. Up until now, I have never had a complaint, especially after moving to Mac a few years ago. Troubles started after two things (still not sure what the culprit was) - installing Snow Leopard and installing a Wacom Bamboo tablet (on the same day- my bad). Well, Illustrator, Photoshop work just fine as well as my other non-Adobe programs. But I can't even open InDesign (will post this on the proper post) or Contribute. So Apple had me deduce that I needed to create a new User and try things there. I eventually migrated to this new user but still, I cannot use Contribute.
    I have set permissions with the program and contents of the folder- in addition to my Contribute keys to no avail. I can't even open it. Nor can I open it in my Root user which at least lets me run In Design. I am at a total loss and I need to update a website for my client. PLEASE someone, I would so greatly appreciate any advice or instruction as to how to run Contribute on my new user. Or in my Root user. I just need to get it to open! Reinstall did nothing PLEASE HELP.
    A special note to anyone from Adobe: I want to talk to someone via a support package-- NOT outsourced. Does this fee-based option exist? It doesn't seem to from the main support number. If someone can help direct me, I would appreciate the proper instruction to do so. I need to get my InDesign running again and I have already invested multiple hours, days with Adobe support with NO solution at all. This is unacceptable in my mind, especially for the moneys invested.
    Thank you in advance... Aimee M.

    I totally share your views on Adobe period. I loved Macromedia., they also answered all my questions, then Adobe had to buy them out! I called them today (sales Dept., that's where they answer rather quickly., of course), they explained the following: You can pay for a live person, but the prices differ  in that they come in packages. In other words, you can pay a flat rate per hour for one-on-one OR pay for one-on-one tech support 5 times per month, and the amount of times per month vary from that point on., and so does the price!  I'm baffled! They are HORRIBLE!! . Like yourself, am on a standstill ever since I've been stuck with not being able to publish my site with current edits and it gives me a message whereas my own company name is "currently editing the page," so it keeps kicking out. I've tried everything, including but not limited to the following: going to the library and checking out books to troubleshoot; going on Adobe pages for support as well the Help features on the software program., etc...I'm exhausted!  ADOBE you guys need to reassess your Customer Care Support and your outsourcing business as well!!! YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR CUSTOMERS RATHER QUICKLY!!

  • Please help - Ipod freezes when playing any video

    Hi
    I only got my ipod video a day ago and it wont play any video files. Everytime i go to play a video it freezes and just shows a black screen. I have tried downloading a music video from the itunes store and this wont work either. When i first got it i did play one video, im not sure if this was before i updated the firmware though?
    I cannot figure out how to reset the firmware if this is what i need to do?
    I would really appreciate some advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    I just got my iPod like two months ago and it wouldn't play any video podcast until I downloaded the new iTunes software. Now it plays some video podcasts but not all. I tried to watch some new podcasts I had downloaded from iTunes and it would play some of it then just freeze and make these wierd sounds. I tried again and it totally froze where I couldn't do anything, not even turn it off. It stayed that way until the battery was completely drained then it turned itself off later that night. The next morning I charged it up and it worked fine but I still can't watch those podcasts. Please help, cause this thing is pretty much brand new and for the amount of money I spent on it I don't want it to start giving me problems after only two months.

  • PLEASE HELP - Ipod Showing In My Comp But Not Itunes Etc

    Hi there
    Can someone PLEASE help me! I am at my wits end with my Ipod.
    A few weeks ago I was in the middle of listening to a song and my ipod crashed then switched itself off. Ever since then I haven't been able to get it to connect to Itunes or the Updater and it won't play anything.
    When I switch the ipod on I get various errors ranging from the unhappy ipod to the folder with the exclamation mark.
    When I connect my ipod to my pc an autoplay window appears and sometimes I get an error saying the drive my ipod is connected to isn't formatted.
    So far I have tried the following
    Reinstalled Itunes
    Going into Disk Management and changing the Drive the ipod uses
    Reset The Ipod
    Tried Using Another USB Port
    Put the Ipod Into Disk Mode
    Nothing Works! After I changed the drive the ipod uses things looked promising. The Ipod was detected by the updater and it was started to restore the ipod however after a few minutes the ipod seemed to lose the connection and I got the error with the Battery icon.
    Can someone please help me!

    "my dad pressed view and then he chose the 3rd picture thing and songs went into."
    Sorry, I don't know what that means.
    Have you had a chance to look through these?
    USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.

  • PLEASE HELP, Ipod corrupt

    I have a whole list of events that happened, but the worst part is, my ipod still will not work with my itunes. Here's my story (i'm trying to put in as much detail as possible for hope that somebody can help):
    I have a 30GB 5th generation Ipod video, and I use windows XP. I've had this Ipod for about 2 months and it worked great using Itunes 7.0 and 7.0.1.
    I updated to Itunes 7.0.2 and the next time I plugged in my ipod, the itunes didn't recognize it, nor did my computer. I went through a series of steps with an apple agent, including renaming the disk drive letter, and finally my Ipod would be recognized. Everytime the ipod was plugged in however, this "autorun" program began to run. It So eventually when the autorun would stop, it kept saying "This ipod may be corrupt. Restore it, or try disconnecting and reconnecting it". Once I got this message that said "an unknown error has occured [1418]. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, and nothing seems to work.
    So I restored it. And then it restarts, and once again I get the same message over and over again. I keep restoring it and it doesn't work. So the agent told me to send it to apple for repairs.
    So apple sends it back saying nothing was wrong with the Ipod. But it still keeps saying it is corrupted on itunes.
    So I talk to another apple agent, and we go through another series of steps, and now the Ipod is not recognized by itunes anymore. I downloaded itunes 6.0 which wouldn't work with my existing libraries, so I went back to the original 7.0 and it still doesn't work.
    PLEASE HELP ME i'm dying without my ipod!

    This program http://www.copytrans.net/doctor.php may fix it up.

  • Please help with this issue "To Run a SSIS Package outside of Server Data Tools You must install Drived Column of Integration sercvies of higher" From C# app

     i have searched all over the google and here on MSDN(I have read all the threads related to my problem ) , i am new to SISS and doing my clg project ,
    I have this package which loads data from  dim tables to a fact table , my Package runs without any problem in BIDS (2012)
    I have installed SQl Server integration services on SQL and service is also running in services.msc,
    the problem comes when i execute my package using my C# application i am using MSDN Method to execute a SSIS package programmatically given here.
    "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136090.aspx"
    For loading my FactTable i have used a Derived columns  and some lookups , 
    Now if i don't use derived columns and looks ups and just use source and destination component then my package runs fine from my C# application but if i use derived columns or looks ups etc it gives the following error
    "Error in Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.TaskHost/SSIS.Pipeline: To Run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must Install Derived Column of Integration services of higher"
    I am searching and trying to resolve this issue from previous 2 days but without any luck please help or guide me what is solution to this problem ,,i will be very thankful
    I have also found that integration services that are running on my system have version  10.0
    but the BIDS have version Version 11.0.3402.0
    IS this causing problem ?  if yes then what i have to do  ?

    Hi BlaxButt,
    The package is developed in SSDT installed by SQL Server 2012, so it is a SSIS 2012 package. However, the Integration Services you have installed is SQL Server 2008 R2 version. To run the package outside SSDT, you need SSIS 2012 installed. The reason why
    the package runs fine with only Source and Destination components is that such a simple package can be executed by the DTExec utility installed by SQL Server 2012 Data base Engine or Client Tools (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard). To run a package that
    uses other tasks/components outside SSDT/BIDS, the SSIS runtime is also required except the DTExec utility. To obtain the SSIS 2012 runtime, we have to install SSIS 2012 on the server where the package runs.

  • URGENT!!! Java Gurus Please Help with adf issue!

    PLEASE SEE MY LATEST POST BELOW TIMO'S RESPONSE. THE REQUIREMENT HAS CHANGED. THAT IS THE ISSUE I AM LOOKING A SOLUTION FOR.
    Hello All,
    We have a requirement where our adf/jsf app needs to pick an EXCEL file from the server where the application is deployed. The sequence is :
    User comes to the page
    Clicks on "Open EXCEL" button
    EXCEL file located in the c:/ of the server opens up.
    How can this be done? I do not see any coding needed because the EXCEL file is being opened as is (and after user views it he closes the file) and the data is not being transferred to the jspx page.
    *We are totally flexible in how this is implemented - ie, using button, link , html etc etc. What ever works!!!!*

    Hello Timo,
    I am using 10.1.3g so your response is not going to help me.
    However, I have another question that I have already posted on the Forum. Please help me...
    Requirement:
    *1. Java application should be able to write "Hello World" in the excel file, when the user opens it.*
    I CAN DO THIS WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
    HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
    HSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet("newSheet");
    HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow(1);
    row.createCell(1).setCellValue("HelloWorld!!!!!!!!!");
    *2. A "Write To Excel" button on jsf page opens a dialog asking user to Save or Open the excel file. (user can save the file anywhere on his machine)*
    I CAN DO THIS WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:
    In jsf:
    <af:commandButton text="Download" action="#{myBackingBean.writeToExcel}" useWindow="true"/>
    In backing bean:
    public static void writeToExcel() throws IOException
    String filename = "workbook.xls";
    // //Setup the output
    String contentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)fc.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
    response.setContentType(contentType);

    Hi Gurus,
    I am using the Application Workspace Portlet extension for JDEV 1013.
    This morning I deployed successfully some JSR-168 Portlets in my WSRP OC4J container and registered the providers successfully with Portal 10.1.4

    Hi JO,
    I remember this problem - it used to occur in one of my Portlets. It usually happens when the Portlet is not compiled using the same JDK compiler as the OC4J.
    Does your JDev 10.13 ( the default JDK is JDK 1.5 ) & the OC4J contaier for Portal 10.1.4 have the same JDK version ?
