PLEASE HELP.. PROBLEM WITH RESTORE

okey, well i have this huge problem. i got my ipod 2 weeks ago from the US, i live in poland and not many people know how these things work so i ask that someone here can help me..
a week ago.. the ipod froze my computer, i could do nothing with it. so i had to restart it.the problem was that my ipod was connected to the computer still.. but my comp wouldnt start so i had to disconnect the ipod.(yes the DO NOT DISCONNECT icon was on the ipod.. but wut else could i do?)
so my ipod froze then, and i had the apple icon the whole time on the screen, so i tried everything, i get so frustrated with the ipod that i just want to throw it out the window. i read some things about the problem on the suppoort page, i reset it about a hundred times.. and finally it started working when i got it into disc mode. Yes i got all happy.. I press the restore buttons in itunes.. and this is what happens.. the ( i dont know how to call it) scroll bar? well the green bar that moves to show that its 'restoring' it freezes in the middle of the process, i uninstalled itunes 10 times.. i even tried restoring on 2 other computers, on one of them it does the same thing and on the other theres some other problem.
PLEASE HELP ME!! I DONT know what to do.
ipod 5th gen 30gb Windows XP

Two things I'm going to suggest first. 1: reboot your Windows computer. 2: do a fresh install of iTunes. I've been reading all sorts of things tonight about people having luck after doing a new install of iTunes. Hopefully you still have the installer for iTunes becuase Apple's downloads are *slow* right now (still trying to get the iOS update myself and it says 12 hours left after downloading for more than 2 hours). If you updated iTunes from the Apple Software Update program on Windows you will still have it. In that program there is a Tools menu I believe and you should be able to have it show you where it downloaded the files.
After that install reboot again just to make sure. For some reason on Windows the USB programs that Apple uses can get a bit goofy.
I would then suggest plugging in the iphone. I suspect it will ask to restore.

Please help - problems with iPod Nano

I saw a page in my Popular Science magazine and it had iPod Linux. So I went to the website installed it, and it worked!!! But the problem is , is that when I plug it in to my computer, it charges but won't show up as a drive. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even within the iPod Linux Project the Fifth Generation iPod and the Nano are unsupported hardware so you are pretty much on you own, however check these links out:

Please Help-Problem with Optical Drive, it's a Mystery...

Well I'm a fairly big Imogen Heap fan, and her new CD came out the 25th. So I went to Best Buy and I bought the deluxe version which includes a seperate disc with instrumentals. I got home, put it in, and my Mac made a "scratching" kind of noise, then it spit out the disc. I figured there was a problem with it, I went back to Best Buy, got a new one, and it did the exact same thing.
HOWEVER, both of the instrumental discs worked just fine, and imported just fine. The normal audio disc also works on my Ubuntu computer, Windows computer, and my other Early 2009 Macbook Pro. I also restarted my Mac, cleaned the disc, and that did nothing.
So, what's the problem do you think?
(Also I went to Apple but there were no appointments available, and they were too busy to just look at it without an appointment )

Hi Mate,
I didn't do an OS install, I took it to an apple store and made a Genius Bar appointemnt. Explained the proble and after 15min conversation, they diagnosed it as teh following;
The felt/rubber where you put the CD/DVD had gone hard and the friction is causing the CD/DVD to get stuck and be loaded. They tried to tell me that I need to replace the top case (£140+VAT) as its in-built into it or I can use a £3 spudger to push the CD's in......needles to say the Spudger works fine.....Shame I wasted £100 on the new optical drive ;o( Maybe sell teh spare on eBay....Happy days!

[HELP] Problem with restore and recovery to new host

Hi, guys!
I have been trying for two days, but still cannot get it to work.
I have taken a full hot(online) backup with archive logs as well as the control file and SPFILE, and then copied the backup to the new host with the same directory structure and settings. Finally, I have tried to restore & recover the database on the new host but failed during the restore process.
Both the original host and the new host have the same Oracle installed down to the patch level. I couldn't figure out the proper solution to this problem base on my limited knowledge about Oracle DB.
Could anyone help me out here? Any advice would be appreciated!

a) Does the directory structur exist on the new server :
D:\DBDATA\PRODDB\ --- for files 1 to 4
D:\ --- for file 5
D:\ORA_DATA\ --- for files 6 to 8

Yep, I have doubled check the directory structure that get in the way, and they are all exist.
Would it be something to do with the folder permissions?

b) Apparently a RESETLOGS has been issued on 07-Nov. Which controflile backup do you have restored and mounted on the new server ? It should be the one after the RESETLOGS.

I restored the one included with the backup. Should I take another backup of controlfile seperately and restore from it instead?

(I assume that you did a RESTORE CONTROLFILE followed by sql "alter database mount" before the attempt to RESTORE DATABASE)

Yep, that's exactly what I did.

Please help - Problem with loading swf's (running very slowly)

Hi
I have posted this problem up in the last few days so I built a quick demo of my problem. Can somebody please download it and take a look at it and see what I'm doing wrong?
You can download it here at:
http://www.bounceworld.ie/download/Demo_Test.zip
The external swf's when loaded.....run very very slow; sometimes unresponsive as if there is a script running in the background. I'm using keyboard commands to navigate through the screens - eg:
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndStop("scene02", "firstframeLabel");
Thank you for your help!!!!

Hi
I'm trying to use Key Listeners to solve my problem.
I don't know much about key liseners so can somebody help me out.
I have the following on a keyframe yet it still wont jump to the certain frames when I press the relevent keys. Am I missing something?
stop();
KeyListener = new Object();
KeyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getAscii() == 38) { // UP key
gotoAndStop(89);}
if (Key.getAscii() == 40) { // DOWN key
gotoAndStop(91);}
if (Key.getAscii() == 37) // LEFT key
gotoAndStop(88);}
if (Key.getAscii() == 32) { // SPACEBAR key
loadMovie("application_01.swf", "container");}

Please Help: problems with 2nd internal SATA drive on G5

Hello everyone,
I was transferring and deleting very large files from my main drive, a 2nd 250GB SATA internal drive, and an external 250GB FW800 drive recently (about 50GB worth of data transfered), and decided to run disk warrior and repair my permissions/verify disk in disk utilities once completed.
Everything seemed fine until I verified my 2nd internal drive upon which I received the following error: "First Aid Failed" citing "Invalid node structure" and that the volume needs to be repaired. I attempted to Repair disk, though the process stops and I get the same error "Volume could not be repaired because of an error."
This 2nd SATA drive only holds data (I'm a musician so it only holds sample data for streaming in Logic) but it contains allot of information (185GB used of 233GB) which according to my math comes out to about 80% used. This should be acceptable amount, correct? The drive also has Journaling enabled, though I'm not sure if its relevant or not.
What should I do? The drive itself seems to be working fine, but why would disk utility have a problem reading/repairing it if its indeed fine. Should I be worried? The drive is probably no more than 2 years old, so it cant be drive failure yet, can it?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Update: I tried to graph the problem drive again in diskwarrior, and this time an error occurred! This obviously did not happen the first time I used diskwarrior to graph and build a new directory, so something must have happened recently. What could have happened? What should I do?

Yes, that's fine.
The drive also has Journaling enabled, though I'm not
sure if its relevant or not.
Hmm, I think I once had a drive with a directory problem that couldn't be fixed with DiskWarrior without journaling being (temporarily) disabled. After disabling journaling, I used DiskWarrior to Rebuild the drive's directory, then I reenabled journaling.
What should I do? The drive itself seems to be
working fine, but why would disk utility have a
problem reading/repairing it if its indeed fine.
Should I be worried? The drive is probably no more
than 2 years old, so it cant be drive failure yet,
can it?
I'm afraid it could be, I've had drives fail at any time between half a year after purchase up to 3 or more years after. Though often one hears the drive "die", or notices very slow performance due to bad blocks being weeded out, and the S.M.A.R.T. status - visible in Disk Utility (only for internal drives) in the bottom right, when you select a drive (not volume) is an indicator of a harddisk's health as well (though not the most complete, see this hint, or S.M.A.R.T. Guard).
Update: I tried to graph the problem drive again in
diskwarrior, and this time an error occurred! This
obviously did not happen the first time I used
diskwarrior to graph and build a new directory, so
something must have happened recently.
Did you try to repair anything with Disk Utility in the meantime?
What could
have happened? What should I do?
So did the Repair with DiskWarrior not finish? What kind of error was it?
In my experience, DiskWarrior mostly fixed any directory trouble. For more serious cases, see this thread.

Please help: problems with tutorial 'building advanced portals'

Can someone help, please?

When you click on 'Edit Page' (top right hand corner) you should be able to edit both sets of tabs there and each individual tab properties.

PLEASE HELP - Problem with 2 column fixed template in Dreamweaver CS3

I am trying to create a website using the 2 column fixed, right sidebar, header and footer html template in Dreamweaver CS3. I tried putting a picture in the right side bar as well as with in the main content or left portion of the page, and neither picture is showing up when I view it in any of the browsers I'm using.
I've made some minor changes in colors and sizing, but other than that no other changes. The pic I put in for the header is showing up just fine though.
Any help or advice to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Here is the base Dreamweaver code including the pic references that I'm trying to show on either side - when the browser opens, it only shows a blank space where the pics should be... let me know what you think. Thanks!!

Please Help: Problems with erratic mouse

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and just recently started experience erratic behaviour from my magic mouse. I have read countless forums that document this issue - its a known thing. It honestly drove me insane to the point that I completely formatted my 27" iMac and got back up to 10.6.7 - after installing the magic mouse software again, the SAME behaviour happened. I tried changing the channels at which my airport extreme broadcasts my wireless signal throughout the house - no luck.
I even switched over to my wired keyboard and Mighty Mouse - and you wouldn't believe it, but I am also experience this subtle jerkiness with the mouse - the cursor will get laggy when dragging from side to side, or up and down - definitely noticeable since I have been using mac's for 6 years now. I am absolutely blown away by this sudden phenomenon and have no explanation for it. My desk surface is fine (since it worked for years before hand). Both lenses on the mice have been blown out by a dust blower, they are clean.
I am about to lose my mind. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem. It started about 2 weeks ago and it drives my completely nuts. Even my wired mouse does have a noticeable lag. I use a lot of Photoshop and jerkiness is very annoying and it slows me down.
Anybody has an idea why this is happening?

Please help, problems with two different ipods

Both my ipod and my sister's ipod are experiencing problems. Both ipod's are 4th gen with click wheel.
My ipod isn't being recognized by itunes (I have the latest version) and only once in awhile will my computer recognize my ipod. I get a file showing my calender, notes, etc,.. I can't click on any of them though. When I connect my ipod to the usb cord and connect the cord to the computer, the ipod only just restart's itself.
My sister's ipod does absolutely nothing except show the apple logo and then shut off. Earlier today it was displaying the exclamation mark and the folder icon and it once displayed the sad ipod icon.
Does anyone here know what the problem is with these two ipod's and if there is a way that I can fix them?

See these troubleshooting articles.
My iPod is sad.
iPod displays a "sad iPod" icon.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

Please help, problems with iTunes

Alright, so earlier today my computer crashed. I restored it to its original factory settings and now it's okay. The only thing is that everything that I had on my computer before is erased, even my iTunes.
Before it crashed, I had iTunes 7, so when i got my computer started again, I downloaded iTunes 8 (the only one available) and I still have all the music on my iPod, but it won't let me sync my music from it onto iTunes.
Is there anything I can do?
Much help is appreciated!
Thank you!

Sure you always have options. If your content is purchased off the iTunes Store you can do the following:
1) iPod Connect to Computer
2) File -> Transfer Purchases
If you want all your content off your iPod that may not be purchased through the iTunes Store then you'll need to use a third-party program such as one of the following:
1) iPod Copy (www.ipodcopy.com OR www.ipod-copy.com)
2) Music Rescue
3) Senuti (Mac)
Those programs will transfer all the content off the iPod and back into your iTunes library.

Please HELP / problem with Mac to PC migration

Good afternoon,
I have a 1TB WD mybook external HD to which I would like to copy large files like movies, music and pictures from my Mac and then connect it to my wife's PC and place it on her internal HD. With the HD being formated on my mac, I'm unable to migrate the files to her PC. I was wondering how to format the drive so that it would be able to read/write on both the Mac and PC. I have looked for answers on this discussion but I didn't find anything that applies directly to me.
Much thanks in advance for your help
