Please help. Nano recovery loop

It's a 5th gen nano with the click wheel. It died a few days ago and it would not revive when I connected to iTunes on my PC. I tried it on a mac and it came back and I restored the ipod, and it worked for about half a day after that. Now it goes into the recovery loop on both the mac and the pc. I've updated iTunes on both systems, I changed the drive letter on Windows, I formated the ipod on the mac and on the pc. Still getting the loop. Is this done? Is there any other fix?

I forgot, and when I get to the "waiting for ipod" the ipod's screen goes black and will not come onagain until itunes starts the recovery loop again. If it is unplugged it will not come on. I've tried all the click wheel commands.

HELP. Recovery loop of Death.

So my iPod Nano 7th Generation has been stuck in a recovery mode loop for some time now. And restoring it finishes with the computer saying detecting ipod in recovery mode, please Restore. And this loops over and over. My most annoying problem is that upon using another computer besides my Crappy 328 dollar Acer, it restores perfectly, HOWEVER when i go back to using it on my computer it says its syncing music, but when i unplug it shows no content whatsoever on it. Plug it back in and it goes into recovery loop after saying Cannot read contents of iPod. So i started trying to sync music using my family's computer, BUT the music is freakign skippy and every liek 2 to 3 seconds of audio i get a loud breaking shrieking sound. So my music is ****** up as well. This is 600+ songs i dont want to lose by giving up my **** computer. Transfering the files to another results in the skippy audio. Ive also changed drive letters and use various tools trying to fix the **** thing. Did i mention that i had the 6th gen nano and it did the same thing? So its my computer... Ive run virus scans and the whole lot. Plz help...

o.k. here is an update.
The basic test did finish. It took 2:37 secs.
"No trouble found"
Should I run the extended test and wait it out?
The applecare C.D. has some kind of test I think as well...Should I run that?
Not really sure what to do?
Don't want to pull the ram and send it back if that isn't the problem.
Not sure if it might be heat related or ram or software.
I have nothing really on the MacBook yet.
Just iWork08 and firstclass (email program for work). No widgets or anything like that.
I did try and use the loops in GarageBand. It asked me to download them or install the C.D. I picked download but nothing happened. Could that be part of the problem.
Thanks for any help. I would love to solve it myself but I am thinking the applecare might be coming in handy soon!

How to recover trash emptied docx file using terminal!! please help, many recovery software doesnt work!

i accidentally deleted a .docx file today and emptied it in the trash!! i tried to use softwares like iskysoft,stellar,wondershare, but none can find the required file! I also tried to use terminal to recover my file by typing --> Tserings-MacBook-Pro:~ tseringdorjee$ mv .Trash/OS copy . but ended with
mv: rename .Trash/OS to ./OS: No such file or directory
mv: rename copy to ./copy: No such file or directory
where OS copy is the name of my .docx file! i also tried to put .docx after the file name, but it doesn't work too!
so, please help!!!

If you placed the file in the trash and emptied the trash and recovery software is unable to get the file back, I'm afraid it is gone.
You will have to resotre from backups if you any, or else try sending the drive to a commercial data recovery outfit. But it will be very expensive and the likely hood of a better outcome is not high.

PLEASE HELP - NANO PLUS CAPAC

Please help.
My nano gb only holds around 250 songs yet says it is full??
Has anyone else experienced ths problem or any ideas to help.
Many Thanks

Well, the average song is around 4MB. GB is 024MB, so 250 songs will take up approximately GB. The rated capacity is based upon certain factors, like song length, compression quality, and audio codec used.

Hi iMad Richard!
The more you give, the more you get
But ... feel free to use the "Search Discussions" too!
And last but not least, make it as easy as possible to help you.
For example
[http://idisk.mac.com/imadrichard-Public/Workflows/Add Posts Part 4 copy.workflow/Contents/QuickLook/Preview.pdf]
would directly link you to the screenshot of your workflow.
There i do see a "Watch Me Do " Action.
There is a known bug in Automator, that makes Loop Action not work, when combined with "Watch Me Do".
So what you can do?
Replace the "Watch Me Do" mouse-click. Try GUI-Scripting or javascript instead. Or use a command-line tool named "click".
If you do not know how to realize this, again, give a link to the website or try to explain exactly, what to click

Please help! Recovery on my ENVY 4-1101SA is not completing

I have spent all day googling and searching forums and nobody seems to be having the same problem as me - so I am turning here to the community perhaps for some insight...?
My new HP ENVY 4-1101SA (with hybrid SSD/HDD drive) came with the usual preinstalled stuff that I wanted rid of so as per my usual routine, first thing I do is create recovery media (USB stick) and recover to minimised image.
Problem is that the first time I did this the installation terminated after an hour or so as "incomplete" - with three options, Save / Details / Retry. I tried to "retry" but regardless of whether i left the flash drive in, it would ask me to "insert recovery media." I was forced to reboot the machine but in doing so I can now only get back to the window saying "recovery incomplete" with those three buttons Save/Details/Retry.
I tried F9 > selecting USB and that gets me back to the recovery manager window where I can choose minimum image or full factory etc.
So I started googling on my other machine (the one I am on now) and found the suggestion that I open the recovery manager from the USB stick, go to computer checkup and select "open command prompt" then in diskpart start messing about deleting volumes.
I tried this, and as far as I can tell I have deleted all the volumes from disk 0 (the 500GB hard drive) and disk 1 (the 32GB SSD). However recovery - using any of the schemas - fails with the same error.
SO my question to the community is - please, does anyone more technically-competent know if there anything else I can try?
Thanks for the help (in advance!)
James

Hmm... some views but no responses yet.
Here's what I have tried:
- F10-F9 restore BIOS to factory default
- Ensuring WIFI is on after every restart during recovery
- Open command prompt from recovery manager - DISKPART, select disk 0, clean all THEN select disk 1, clean all
(after that both disks showed No Volumes when I did DETAIL DISK
I have ordered some replacement disks from HP for £33 in case my flash drve is faulty

Please Help With A Loop Using Vectors?

I am developing a swing application and this loop has me completly stumped I have not worked with vectors alot, nut I have never seen this happen in a loop before:
I am just going to post the loop because that is where this problem is happening.
What I want to do is loop through CAT X amount of times and
have an inner loop for SUBCAT X amount of times.
fs is a formattedString class I have and eventually this text is appended to a JTextArea.
Here is the Loop:
Vector CAT = new Vector();
Vector SUBCAT = new Vector();
CAT = getCategories(Department);
for (int i=0; i<CAT.size(); i++){
String Category = CAT.elementAt(i).toString();
fs.append("\nCategory: ",11);
fs.append(Category,65);
SUBCAT = getSubCategories(Category);
}//End CATEGORY
The part where I am completely stumped is, if I comment out the SUBCAT= part then the Text displays fine. If I dont it will just display the first string in the CAT Vector I have done a try and catch to see if there is an exception being thrown but there is none. The getSubCategories() method works fine b/c it is working at other parts of my program. (It Returns a Vector BTW). So commenting it out should really make no difference.
Can anyone help me with this????
Thanks in advance

I will post what my output is in each scenario and maybe you can better understand what I am explaining:
SCENARIO 1::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
for (int i=0; i<CAT.size(); i++){
fs.append("\nCategory: ",11);
fs.append(CAT.elementAt(i).toString(),65);
}//End CATEGORY
Category: A Collars
Category: Access Door

Scenario 2:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Category: A Collars
for (int i=0; i<CAT.size(); i++){
fs.append("\nCategory: ",11);
fs.append(CAT.elementAt(i).toString(),65);
SUBCAT = getSubCategories(CAT.elementAt(i).toString());
}//End CATEGORY
Now do you see:
The SUBCAT = getSubCategories(CAT.elementAt(i).toString()); should not be affecting the loop. It should just be assigning a new Vector to SUBCAT. I know that it is missing the inner loop in this example, but this is how I found out the loops where not working right.

Please help, nano screen white/blank

My ipod is remaining with a white/blank screen, it is able to play music, i can hear it, but there are no words, and i did not damage it in anyway, no water or physical damage, this is so strange, please let me know if you have any solutions...thanks much

NEVER MIND I FIXED MY PROBLEM.....I am disappointed i didn't find much help on here....anyways a friend of mine gave me this in my email....i hope i can be of some help to anyone else who had the same problem
BLANK SCREEN PROBLEM:
This is caused because the contrast setting on iPL is quite buggy. When you boot iPL for the first time, the screen may be all dark or completely blank. To fix this you can either turn your iPod sideways until you see something then go to ‘Settings’ and then ‘Contrast’ and fiddle with it until you see the Linux. If this does not work, follow this procedure:
1. Spin around the click wheel and you should hear some clicking sounds. This means iPL is working.
2. Spin the click wheel around COUNTER-CLOCKWISE until the clicking stops. This will set the selector to the very top.
3. Spin the wheel CLOCK WISE until you hear 2 clicks. This will put the selector to ‘Settings’. Do this nice and slow. Now press the middle button to select it.
4. Spin the wheel CLOCKWISE until you hear 4 clicks. This should select the contrast menu. Press the action button to enter it.
5. Turn the wheel CLOCKWISE to make the screen darker, and COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to make it lighter. The wheel is very sensitive to this so do it slow.
6. If there is no sound during this process, try going to a very bright area and attempting to see the black selector bar on the screen.
If these both don’t work, you’re in trouble! Use the Apple restore tool to restore your iPod and try again!

Please help. Recovery Mode issues

My iPod touch ran out of battery last night, and as normal, i went to go plug it in to charge it. Instead of charging, it is frozen on a screen that says "connect to iTunes". When I connect to itunes, it says that my iPod is in recovery mode, and that I need to restore it before it can be used with iTunes. I have over 6,000 photos on my iPod that I have taken throughout the years, and I'd rather not have them all deleted. Is there a way that i can fix my iPod without restoring it?

No, you have to restore the iPod via iTunes and thus erase the iPod.

Please help Nano & Shuffle

I have ver: 6 installed for my nano and it is working fine.My problem is i have a ipod shuffle and my computer doesn't recognise it.I'm using windows xp.Can i use both of these on my system.

I have the same issue. I brought it back to the store and got a new one, but has the same problem. Which version of ipod software do you run, V1.1.2? And which program to put the songs on (WinAmp/iTunes)?

Please help: Nano frozen (very hot when recharging...)

Hi,
it seems my almost brand new (used 4 times...) Nano 2GB has got some problems
When I'm recharging it (by Apple USB cable plugged into USB port on my WinXP Pro PC with last version of iTunes installed), it becomes really really hot on the back and the famous folder with exclamation comes out.
- There's no charge icon or other icons...
- Display is not lighting
- Nano is not turned on (battery low and not recharging)
- I tried to restore it pressing menu/play buttons for 10 seconds, the apple icon appeared but then I cannot turn the Nano on.
Should I try something else or do I need to bring it back to the shop? What scares me more is the back getting so hot that you cannot keep nano in your hands.
Thanks,
Massimo

I will bring the Nano back to the shop, hope they could help
