Please tell me if i just need to give up!

I don't know if my ipod is getting ready to die or what but i've only had it for a little over a year and i am having some trouble
the ipod seems to be rebooting itself repetitively after i attempt to hook it up to the computer. i'm not exactly sure what it's doing but every few minutes i get the apple sign along with something that is clicking over and over again inside the ipod ....after that i get the file symbol with an exclamation point next to it... then it does the whole process over and over again ... i can hold down the button in the middle and then it seems to be a little okay(meaning my music files comeback on the ipod finally) but still needs time to rest after the trauma of hooking it up to the pc because it skips songs etc..
when i hook it up to the pc i get the "do not connect on the ipod" and i get the little icon on my taskbar but if i go to my computer it doesn't show up there and itunes doesn't even seem to recognize it either. if i try to disconnect it, it won't disconnect and i wind up just unplugging the darn thing...when this happens it makes my itunes not responding as well the only thing that i've done different is upgraded to a newer version of itunes and i don't know if that is linked to the problem or just a coincidental to the problem i am currently having... i tried to do and ipod updater but it tells me that it doesn't recognize my ipod being hooked up .. PLEASE HELP I AM DESPERATE!!!! or at least tell me if it's a lost cause and i should just give up and throw the thing in the garbage..at least i will not sit here trying everything with no luck...i need some advice bad..i stayed up late trying to fix it one night when i let it sit for awhile it seemed to be back working temporarily....thanks in advance

This is in regards to a 4th gen 40gb clickwheel ipod.
Hi, i've also been having a very similar problem with my ipod as well. I find that regardless of which windows-based pc i use (either my xp laptop @ home, or my win2000 desktop @ work) windows and itunes refuses to recognise my ipod. In windows explorer it will show it as a removable drive, but if i click on it, windows freezes. If I try to disconnect it, I cant because windows keeps reporting that 'the device is being used, try disconnecting later' and so then i shut down my laptop to disconnect it safely.
Lately, like you, i've also noticed that clicking sound it makes. It happens when i connect my ipod to my computer - like the drive inside it is constantly restarting or something, and i get it when i'm playing / charging it in my dock. I've also noticed that when it's playing whilst charging, it just freezes on a song, then skips a couple of songs.
I've just discovered the disgnostic tools on my ipod, so i think i'll run a couple of tests (ie HDD scan) and depending on the outcome, i'll go visit the apple store.

You need to upgrade OS X.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I bought the pkg. of Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 in 2012. I now want to update to Premiere Elements 13 without updating Photoshop. Can I do this? Will you please tell me the steps I need to take?

I purchased Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10 as a package in 2012. I now want to update the Premiere to the 13 edition, without updating Photoshop. Can I do this? Will you please tell me the steps I need to take?

Just buy version Premiere Elements 13.
Even if you don't get the "upgrade" price, you can probably find it for about that cost on sites like Amazon.com.
You can keep Photo Elements 13 if you'd like. The only downside is that Premiere Elements 13 and Photo Elements 10 won't share the same Organizer catalog. Otherwise, they'll get along just fine.

Change product platform or language
You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product (CS6 only) if you follow the instructions at the following link:

Alternative: If you wish to continue using the software on the Windows machine as well then your only recourse without buying again would be to install a Windows emulator on the Mac so that it has the rght environment to install in

See the Windows XP section near the bottom of iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Also, note the following quote from near the top of that section:
Windows XP can't import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the files to your computer's hard drive.

Can some one please tell me what leads i need to connect my mac book pro to my tv

Hi i have a mac book pro can someone tell me what leads i need to connect it to my tv
thanks scott

If your TV has HDMI, and if your MBP is compatible with this adapter, I highly recommend:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/Moshi_Mini_DisplayPort_to_HDMI_Adapt er
It sends the audio out through the mini DisplayPort into the HDMI cable, but only if your computer has that capability. On that page, scroll down and look for a comment titled "How you know if it is supported w/o guessing."

Can anyone help me determine if I just need to give up on my iPhone 3Gs, is it truly DEAD????

I'm REALLY hoping I get a response and some ideas or suggestions. Here's what happened and how my iPhone has been behaving. I need to know if I can salvage it and getting it working good enough for now, or if I need to just give up because its dead. My iPhone is a 3Gs that is roughly about 2 years old, and I have a Windows PC w/Windows 7 (if any of that makes a difference).
Situation: was at the beach, walking in the surf, iPhone in my hand. Wave surprised me from behind getting my iPhone wet. It was NOT completely submerged at any time, but it did get water on it.
Attempts to salvage: I vigorously shook it and tapped it upside down and right side up with a towel to get out as much moisture/water as I could and completely dried the outside of it.
iPhone behavior afterwards- screen went VERY dark, could not be brightened. Kept giving a message of "this device cannot be charged, charging accessorie not supported," or something similar. I tried to turn it off and restart, but was still the same. I tried pressing both buttons for a hard-reset, still the same.
Attempts to salvage: upon returning to camp, I placed the iPhone in a bowl of rice (made sure rice completely surrounded it) and left it there for 24 hours.
iPhone behavior afterwards- when I was able to power up the iPhone again, all I get is a BRIGHT white blank screen. However, I WAS able to salvage all the photos from our trip that I took- those transferred fine to my Window's PC.
Attempts to salvage: I charged the iPhone, I tried to hard-reset it again. I was able to back up everything that was on it, those transferred fine to my PC, and the iPhone connected and synced fine with iTunes. However, when I tried to restore it back to factory settings, in hopes that might make a difference, this is the error I got: "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (0XE800004)."
My next plan is to take the cover off to see if I can find anything there that "sticks out" so to speak, but I'm not exactly electronically savvy. If ANYONE can help me find a way to get this to work again, warranty has expired, I'm not currently with a cell phone carrier, and I can't afford any repair costs right now, much less be able to afford a replacement which is why its so important for me to get this working again. Thank you in advance for your help and/or suggestions.

You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside? I'd recommend against it. Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money. You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider? Did I understand that correctly?

TS2446 I just got my Ipad and I can not download apps. I get a message saying my Apple ID has been disabled. I have reset my password, I can access itunes and icloud but still can not download apps. Can someone please tell me how to get my ID activated

I just got my Ipad and I can not download apps. I get a message saying my Apple ID has been disabled. I have reset my password, I can access itunes and icloud but still can not download apps. Can someone please tell me how to get my ID activated? TY

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

I need to shrink the size of please tell me i dont have to do all seperately.

hi help needed. i needed to shrik my songs, i was told to create AAC versions which i did do about 20 and it saved me quite a bit of space so now i would like to do all of my music that way. only 1 big problem i have 17453 songs please please tell me i dont have to do them all seperately, and there has to be a way that either deletes the old version automatically as then i will have double that amount and would take weeks to delete all the copies. please any advice would help.

Isn't it handy that I just wrote a script called ConvertFormat that would seem to answer your need. You do need to be sure the target format you are going to switch to is good enough for your aural pleasure because once you have sacrificed some quallity to shrink the files you can't get it back. The script preserves ratings, play counts, playlist membership etc. (excluding smart playlists dependant on format/bitrate).
I'd also strongly recommend you backup your media first. If you are only doing this to make room on your local drive rather than say squeeze more onto your devices then I'd seriously consider investing in more storage as making this move now will likely only stave off the inevitable.
The script replaces each selected file with a new copy in your chosen import format/bitrate. The originals are sent to the recycle bin to give you one last chance to reverse an error. If you want to convert your whole library you will probably have to do it in stages so you can clear out the trash. I'd also make a smart playlist that identifies "large" files, i.e. those in the format/bitrate you want to convert from so that you can't accidentally downsample the same file more than once.

Install it just as you did before. You should have backed up the download to a CD or backup HD and have the S/N archived with the backup. If you did not backup (please do in the future), you can download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html unless it was an upgrade (I don't think you can use these files for upgrades).

i try to keep my thumb palms off the mouse pad when i am typing but every now and then my screen resizes larger or smaller until i take my left palm off the keyboard base its only when my left palm is resting on the base next to the touch pad. i type pretty fast so it gets annoying and yes it also jumps screens or reverts back to previous message and i have to choose ctrl z to undo and get back to my message i was typing... it also switches tabs on me as well... not sure why my palm being on the left of the keypad on the base should effect anything but it does after a while. and i have to stop what i am doing...and go to the firefox menu and change the screen size back down to 100% sometimes it goes up to 200-300 other times it goes down to 70-80% i find it annoying i i wish there was a way to turn off the screen resize in the setup panel. if its just left to be 100% i am happy with that... i don't need it to be bigger or smaller... there should be a way to LOCK it down... i understand that there are people out there with eye problems and needs to have the screen size increase using the + or - but there should be a lock so it just stays no matter what is happening on my keypad or touch pad or base of the pad... that screen size will not increase or decrease. unless i turn off the lock... perhaps this is something they can implement in the next version or do a quick update of the browser

Can smbody please tell me what to do to my iPhone 4s, when playing music or ringer, the sound will just stop without stop it.. I am really getting tired of this...

Can smbody please tell me what to do to my iPhone 4s, when playing music or ringer, the sound will just stop without stop it.. I am really getting tired of this...

After updating to iOS6, I lost all sound for apps like YouTube, Netflix, games, and even notifications. The only time sound worked was during a phone call or when the head set was plugged in.
I did a full back up and restore- sound restored but only for a day before the problem returned.
Called Apple Support and was advised to do another restore, but this time restore it as NEW first, then do the restore from back up.
Seemed to do the trick.
Here are the instructions of what I was given- hopefully this will help you too:
Here is a link about backing up your iPhone with iTunes.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
Once you back up your device you will want to restore it.
You will need to have iTunes open on your computer screen.
Please turn your iPhone off.
Press and hold the Home Button.
Continue to hold the Home Button as you plug you iPhone in to the usb cable.
You will want to continue to hold the Home button until you get a screen with the message "device found in recovery mode".
Please follow the prompts and restore device as NEW.
once the restore is done you will have to set up the device and test the sound.
If it works you will then need to restore the device from the back up to restore your user settings.
You can find the instructions how to restore from back up also from the the link I provided.

Please tell me if i just need to give up!
