Please tell me this is NORMAL

ok, so i know that the HDD on the ipod makes all the usual clicks when it's being read from or written to.
Is it normal for there to be a markedly louder clunk from the ipod's HDD when turning the ipod sideways or moving it slightly abruptly while the ipod hdd is being written to or read from.
while watching a movie on the pod, a flick of the wrist, side to side, induces a "cluclunk" sound from the iPod.
like wise, when putting data onto the iPod, the same action has the same result.
Be honest you guys.... how ill is my Pod?

i've never noticed it being this sensitive before... or maybe i'm just being paranoid.
what happened was after i noticed the louder sound, i moved it around quite a bit and ejected the pod shortly thereafter.
i got the folder+exclamation icon, but luckily a reset fixed that.
this makes me worry because what would happen should i go jogging, or just vigorously climb some stairs while listening to music....
does this damage the HDD at all?

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. 

  • Checking links TO a specific file, please tell me this is finally available...

    OK, it's been a few years since I originally asked this question. I think it was back when I was using DW 4, or maybe 3. I'm sure there's an answer by now since we're up to version CS4, which I guess is DW 10, right? (I'm still using DW 8 because I haven't considered the new features that useful.) I did use the search but I don't see any solutions. I will be SHOCKED if this is still not a feature. I refuse to upgrade again until this feature is there as a matter of principle.
    Before I delete any document (I usually delete 5-10 each day), I check to see if any pages are linked to it. The best (fastest) way I've found is to just hit delete on the file and see if a warning message pops up from the site cache listing some pages that link to it. If so, then I use the find command to find all the pages with that filename in the source code. If no warning pops up, it's safe to remove it. I've always considered this a lame way to find out if any other pages link to a file. Even more lame (lamer?) is having to navigate through a gigantic site map or having to use the find command that rips through every single file on the site. So, can someone please tell me if I can finally right-click the file and choose something like "pages that link to this file." The data is right there in the cache, and if it can show it in the warning message, why not have a command for it?
    Thanks in advance! I'm optimistic...

    PS: RAM = Memory as in your G4 has a max support for 2GB of DDR333/PC2700 (if you have an MDD G4).
    Disk drives are storage capacity and are usually 80-500GB (gigabyte).
    Depending on your G4 model, you may have support for large (48-bit LBA) drives greater than 120GB or not. And if not, would need a controller card.
    Based on the sizes you mention, it sure sounds like an older (much older) hard drive and probably G4. In which case you might want to look into a disk drive controller (ATA or SATA) and my advice would be to get SATA (Serial ATA) and SATA type drives.
    OS X today needs at least 10-20GB drive space, plus whatever you need for files you keep. A 2nd drive for backup. Even a drive with an emergency system.

  • Please Tell Me This Can Be Fixed!

    After trying to locate duplicates using a program called Tidy Up and having problems, I decided to go back via Time Machine and reinstate the iPhoto library before using TU.  Well, I got some photos back but many are now missing.  Below is what I see: 
    There are spaces where the photos "should" be but aren't.  This is disastrous as many of our vacation shots are gone + various family photos that aren't reproducible.  I'm reluctant to mess anymore with iPhoto at this point.  If anyone has any idea on what happened, or, how to fix this I would be eternally grateful.

    Primary Rule of iPhoto (and all database programs) NEVER make any changes of any sort to the contents of the database using any program other than the database program
    you have destroyed your library using Tidy Up - your choices are to load your backup from prior to your doing this (this is why you always have backups to protect from errors, human, software and hardware) or to create a new library and start over with the originals from your old library
    Bottom line - it can not be fixed - never use third party programs to modify the contents of the iPhoto database

  • Please tell me this isn't going to be an all day project

    i am trying to setup my niece's zen micro (5gb) that was purchased 5/06. i have started to read the faq and some of the forum posts but all that is sort of making me?more confused and frustrated in looking for the answers i need thru a lot of?information.
    hoping things aren't going to be complicated and problematic... there were two songs on her computer that they had purchased from itunes located in the windows media player library. i was able to get them onto the zen micro and they are playing fine. now, what do i do to add more songs? can i purchase from itunes? and then i need to get them into the windows media player library?is that basically how it works??if someone could advise on the basic things i need to do, i would appreciate it. callye's aunt nancy

    Here is the information for the Yahoo music software and service. I double checked, the Zen Micro *is* compatible with the Yahoo music purchasing service, but you may or may not require a quick update. This should be easy to install IF you need it, and you can find out about it here http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/music/jukebox/portdevices/portdevices0.html
    Here is the page for Yahoo Music Unlimited (music downloading service) http://music.yahoo.com/ymu
    There are different options here - it looks like you can buy songs for 99 cents each (like you can on ITunes) and download them to your Zen Micro, or you can pay a monthly subscription fee (Yahoo Music Unlimited TO GO $4.99) and that gives you access to download as many songs as you want from their catalog of 2+ million songs. You listen to them on your computer or the MP3 player as long as you want (as long as you keep paying the subscription) then go get more songs when you want to.
    I haven't tried the Unlimited service but my Zen Micro works perfectly with the Yahoo Jukebox, so I think that might be the way to go.

    Is this right?

    What is the problem here ? Virtually every other phone provider on the Planet (well maybe just the US) does this already and has done this for years; just in a differant manner.
    Go to several differant phone service providers and check all the differant variations of capabilities of a phone common to all of them, based on what the phone is built to do and what Verizon or other provider allows that phone to do.
    GPS is a good example: My last several kphones from Verizon all had GPS radios but Verizon Spce'ed the phone from the vender (HTC in these cases) with the GPS radio crippled in order to sell you their GPS service which would turn on the GPS function. Easy enough to hack but sort of a PIA.

    Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match.  Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

    Hi
    I have a G4 and just installed OS X 10.3 and basicly running out of memory. I have 2 partitions, OS 9 and 10. I have 12G of disk available where 6.0 goes to the first partition (OS 9) and 6 to the second ( OS X). I still have memory available but only on the first partition. How can I resize the disk memory?. It appears grey and can't unlock it.
    Thanks for the help.

    Okay. We'll try a different utility.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    In new iPad 4g, when sim card is not inserted, I can not find the enable 4g tap in the setting-cellular data tap, can some one please tell me if this is normal and if so, then when it appears, thanks

    If the SIM is out of your phone, find my phone needs a data connection, so could use wifi - IF in range of a wifi and one that it can join (ie. a known network or one that is wholly open so no login required).  Your phone could also simple be turned off, so not findable, or it may have been restored (plugged into iTunes and restored as new) again, making it permanently unfindable.  Honestly, for someone stealing an iPhone, this is likely the first thing they do - restore as new and it is theirs forever.
    Find my iPhone is tied to the users iCloud account - the find function is part of the iCloud account's services and it communicates with the iCloud servers over a data connection - either wifi or 3G.
    Have you set up your iCloud account on your replacement phone, and is it working properly on that phone?

  • [Urgent]Please tell me if this project should be done in Flex or in Flash ActionScript ?

    Hi,
    I have a project and I need to know if I should do it using Flash Builder and Flex or just using Flash and ActionScript
    (I Know Nothing About Flash Builder And Flex)
    The project is:
    Mp3 Player
    - Streaming Mp3's
    - Ads inside each song
    - XML driven
    - skins and color themes for it
    - playlist
    - drag and drop from outside the player(from normal html)
    - Should communicate with Php files all the time for transferring ad Id's
    Now please let me know if this will be better done with ActionScript or Flex
    I'm also read in somewhere that the Flex empty file is about 200KB which made me a little scared to use it
    So can you please tell me what size do you expect for such a player (Assets will not be embedded)
    I need to tell my boss today my decision whether to use which one, So please help

    For the file size, you could have done it yourself (3min of time).
    platform : Flash Builder 4.5 on Mac
    1) empty Flex Web project
    below the result of loading it into a browser (the .swf file is 44kB); there are also some other .swz file providing the flex and spark framework but they are only loaded once on the client side and shared accross all web site needing it (stored in the flash cache, not the browser one)
    2) empty Web ActionScript project
    the .swf file is 4kB

  • Don't even know how to describe this... Please tell me whats wrong!

    Yesterday, my Macbook shut off because of no power. I turned it back on about 20 mins later and my clock was wrong. I opened it and had to manually change the time from Dec 31, 2000 7 pm to current date and time. Next I noticed that Safari and FireFox were acting me for verification all the time on webpages. The biggest problem is that my Coursesmart app showed that one of my books was expired on 7-17-11, which isn't here yet. I tried to go to the website through the app and it said the certificate was not valid and that the website i was trying to go to might be fake. I talked to coursesmart up to the top techs, did some things with the computer like uninstall, update, keys,. they couldn't figure it out. I figured out that all of my certificates for anything are gone. I went through the key and found the area that says what my certificates are. Its like my computer has gone back and lost all of its information. Some websites are not working, passwords are not working, and its lagging sometimes. I can't timewarp my computer because it was never turned on. Please tell me whats wrong!

    The abnormal shutdown most likely resulted in corrupted files. Start with this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If this doesn't work (probably won't) then backup your files and reinstall OS X. The SL installer will not erase the drive but will install a new copy of OS X then transfer all your files and applications into the new system.
