Problem with ipod, lagging, freezing, and also skipping to the end on video

i've had my ipod for about 4 months now and i can't help to realize my fairly new ipod is slowing down on loading.
when i first started, a white screen comes up and in the middle, it has an ipod and reads, "www.apple.com/support"
main reason why i came to this place.
thats fine to me, it works when i restart it.
then, i press a few buttons, Music -> Artist -> and whatever i want to listen to, but you know how the pages are suppose to pass? my ipod suddenly lags up(slows down) and at the top it shows that im going to those pages, but the screen won't change, then after 30 seconds, the page is loaded.
when i play a song, it tends to freeze a couple times and play again, i don't think this is such a big problem, because it only freezes for about 1 to 10 seconds at most.
also since i have an ipod video, i like to put some funny videos on it. the video when i play it, it is frozen for a couple seconds and play, but plays all the way at the end, meaning that the video has been skipped to the end of it.
these are my problems, anyone who has any idea what so ever what is wrong with my ipod then please reply.
note!!
i have tried restoring over and over again.
i have dropped my ipod a few times, but not that far from the ground.

Did you Reset it or Restore it in iTunes? And if the latter, it successfully completed the Restore?

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

New Problems with IPod nano - crackle and clicking

Hi,
I got the IPod nano (2GB) a view weeks ago. I haven't changed anything - only copied mp3 songs and photos on it.
Today suddenly during jogging the nano starts to crackle and click - like an old analog tape. This didn't stop any more even after a lot of resets. I have connected my IPod with USB-2 onto my computer and recharged the accu completely. After disconnecting properly the problem is still the same. Also the buttons and the wheel don't work correctly anymore. Has anybody similar experiences? It seems apple has big trouble and problems with this new product. Maybe the IPod nano isn't fully well-engineered jet.
I am looking forward for your help and suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Your Stephan

Hi Mike,
and what did you do finally?
Did you bring the Ipod back to
your dealer for an exchange?
My IPod didn't get wet during
jogging I have carefully kept an
eye on it.
Is this a general problem with the IPod
or only with some units?
Thanks
Stephan

Problems with ipod battery life AND new software

First of all, I'm not 100% sure if my ipod is fifth generation... it's a 30 GB and I've had it since December 2006. This just seemed to be the only category it fit into.
But here we go: I have two major problems with my ipod that have arisen in only a period of a couple days.
First of all, my battery life suddenly got REALLY REALLY bad. I know there are already a bunch of threads with people complaining about their battery life, but mine is much worse. The battery life did progressively get a little worse over the past few weeks, but it was nothing major. But I turned my ipod on the other day, RIGHT after fully charging it, mind you, and within 2-3 minutes the battery was halfway discharged and in about 5 minutes it was almost dead.
And a couple of times, I had my ipod plugged into my iBook to charge, and the iBook went into sleep mode because I left it alone for a while. But after a couple hours I came back and the battery level was LOWER than when I plugged it in!!!! What's going on with this thing?
And then to make matters worse, I finally broke down and downloaded the new ipod software the other day (sorry I can't remember the version, but it's the most recent). Everything seemed OK until I turned on my ipod the next day. With the old software, when I would select "Music>" and then "Artists>" it would go to the list of artists like it's SUPPOSED to.
But now, when I select "Artists>" it then goes to a list entitled "Artists" and my ONLY option is "All>". If I click "All>" then it takes me to a second list called "All Albums" and my only option again is "All>". When I click it again, it takes me to a list called "All Songs" with NOTHING in it. At first, I was afraid the update had deleted all the music off my ipod, but I plugged it back into my computer and according to iTunes, everything was still there as if nothing had happened.
Is there anything I can do to remedy either of these problems? I am so frustrated with this thing, considering both of these things happened rather suddenly and the fact that my ipod is not even a year old and it's not like I've been abusing it or anything.

I've had both exact problems (listed below) within days of each other just like you. This is extremely effing frustrating and it appears Apple isn't doing sh|t about it.
Problem 1: Battery constantly discharges even when ipod is turned off.
Problem 2: After upgrading firmware to 1.2.2, all my content (songs, podcasts, everything) was gone.
I'm glad to say I was able to fix problem 2 after reading about reverting back to version 1.2.1. There are instructions in this forum on how to do it. If you are like me, you'll have to download the 1.2.1 files from Apple's website because they were no longer on my computer.
This dieing/dead battery problem is a major effing pain in the a$$. Like you say, the effing thing is dead after minutes. The only way it can be used for any length of time is to leave it plugged in to a charger.
No one seems to have a solution which is even more upsetting than the problem. Hey Apple, I want my money back!

Odd problem with iPod 5G 30G and iTunes 8...

It freezes when I plug in my iPod.
I've tried with my friend's iPod Nano (newest) and my iPod touch 8G and it works properly...
But iTunes freezes when I connect my iPod 5G 30G on Windows Vista.
Funny thing (annoying) is that it (my iPod) works properly in another laptop with Windows XP and iTunes 7...
So it seems something is wrong with the last update... Because it used to work...
Any solution to this...? Do I have to borrow my friend's laptop to change the music of my iPod or install something like Rockbox ...or even iTunes 7?
Does it means I have to buy a new model to keep compatibilities with the software?
Thanks in advance for the info.

Nothing?
Isn't this the support forum?
I must be doing something wrong...
Guess I'll go and ask the scene...
Thanks anyway
... let me see... apple.com... support... yes... odd thing... :/

Problems with IPod turning on and other things.

Recently I turned on my IPod shuffle and the green light goes on. I am thinking, great, it is working, but then the light won't turn off and because of it I can't press play or use any other buttons available to me. Somtimes where that green light goes on it flashed, green, orange, green orange, or somthing like that. Also, I have charged the thing and when I pressed the button on the back to display the battery charge no lights came on at all. Anyone knowing how to fix the problem and their help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Also, when I went into my computer, and wanted to see what was in my IPod, it said there was a hidden file that I don't know how to remove, so yeah.... Help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem with my mac freezing and screen glitching?

I have the 2013 15 inch retina Macbook Pro and I have been having a problem with it lately. Whenever I use safari, my browser is freezing constantly. Its is only when I use safari, not any other applications, such as Microsoft word. Normally, I wouldn't consider this a big issue, but it gets worse. When I don't navigate on my computer and let it rest for a minute or so (while running safari and sometimes other applications) this screen pops up:
I have not dropped my computer, nor done anything to cause any damage to it. It hasn't moved from my desk and I am clueless as to what the problem could be.

Hi patrickk9,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are continuing to see this type of display distortion on your MacBook, I would suggest working through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the attached article.

Problem with Ipod Touch 8gb and Monster Beats Solo HD

Apple Ipod o guys , i bought an Ipod Touch there in this january , and 2 weeks later , when i got back to Brazil , my cousin did me the favor to crack my screen pretty good . So now , im wondering ,what can i do to fix it ,because the Apple Support here said that they would only give me a discount to buy a new one ( and its a REALLY cheap discount ) , and if i choose to fix it from a unauthorized apple store , it would cost something like 300 dollars or so . ( Thats even more than i paid for the entire thing ) . So , as you can see , my country cant actually help me out on this one . Do you guys have any advice for what i could do ?
P.S. : I paid like 20 bucks for a special kind of insurance . Not sure if it would do me any good now .
Monster Beats : So ...as a lot of people , i think the headphones are great . But i really thing they are "popped " ( not sure whats the english term tho ) , i can still hear music and stuff but sometimes some kind of noise ( very annoying btw ) starts to come out , mostly when in low pitch notes ( again , not sure whats the english term lol ) like in hip hop songs and stuff .. Is there anything i can do for this one too ?
Well , thats it guys , i hope you guys could understand my bad english ( sorry if you guys didn't ) . Any help would be deeply aprecciated .
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello NashOwnz,
I was disappointed to read about the problem with your iPod! If you have Geek Squad Black Tie Protection, Geek Squad can offer you service for the iPod, but it will need to be brought to a Best Buy store. Knowing that you're in Brazil, I realize that complicates matters.
For support with your headphones, please visit the Monster Beats website. I hope this helps.

Problems with Login screen freeze and Bootcamp

Since installing Lion my MacbookPro very often freezes when i start it..When it reaches the login screen it just does nothing when i enter the Password......
In addition to that It takes a very long time when i try to boot under Windows....I press alt during the booting and before lion the partitions showed up very quickly...now it takes ages to do that....
Comeon Apple, fix this!

Meg,
I sent it to my exchange family in Chile. It was packaged so well, tons of bubble wrap, it couldn't have been damaged.
I worked for a professional camera company in Chicago. Our test for how well a sensitive camera part was packed was to take it to the 3rd floor and toss it out the window. Now that sounds rather radical but I've seen packages drop off the loading belt of a 747 straight down to the tarmac. The midline of that plane is about 31'. So once you see that happen our test was not so unreasonable.
I made sure the post office knew it was fragile, etc...
Well not to be cynical but those machines that do handling can be pretty uncaring.
I sent it to my exchange family in Chile.
I've tried to send a lot of cameras and parts to Uruguay. Only about half make it, the rest disappear.
They got the computer, plugged it in, and now they say the screen is acting all weird, turning different colors and freezing from time to time.
So that sounds like the BGA detachment problem. They could try the shim repair. It's easy to do on the G3 since the the GPU is on the bottom.
A reball is $79 here in the States plus shipping.
There's also the possibility that the chip itself has failed. The ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 had a known failure rate in Dells, Sonys, IBMs etc.
It the shim repair fixes the problem it can work for a long time.

Problem with microphone, Audigy 2, and a Dell (not the same problem as the 8 million other topi

Hello,?I recently reformatted my hard dri've and had to reinstall drivers for nearly everything, etc. I have a Dell Dimension 4600, and an Audigy 2 sound card. My microphone worked fine before the reformat and then it was broken. Its not that it wasn't picking up my voice (I have read that the typical problem with Dell computers and microphones was that you had to almost scream into the microphone to get it to hear anything). When I tried to record something, it would record what was coming out of my speakers, and not what I was saying (no matter how hard I yelled). So, when I was playing Counterstrike, everybody heard my gun shooting and grenades exploding etc. instead of my voice (which was what was coming out of my headphones). So I downloaded the ISO available here and through some complicated, random process of uninstalling and reinstalling the various sound drivers I found on the internet, I managed to get my microphone to work perfectly. I changed some settings before I went to bed on Sunday night, and when I tried to use my microphone on Monday it didn't work again (and I had the same problem as before).
So I reformatted again and am trying to figure out what order I installed and uninstalled etc.
So my question is, has anyone else has this specific problem (when attempting to record it records what comes out of the speakers/headphones and not what is being said into the microphone) and remembers how to fix it's? What I did was really bizarre, something like downloading Dell drivers, installing them, uninstalling them, downloading Creative drivers, installing them, installing Dell drivers on top of them, uninstalling both, downloading the ISO, reinstall the Creative drivers, install the files from the ISO, or something like that. Obviously that includes a lot more steps than are needed and because part 3 of the ISO is currently down (I don't have a CD burner so had to redownload the whole thing (I just used a CD emulator last time)) I can't work on it right now :/

Actually, it's not a problem but a setting. On surround mixer .rec source setting --> when you set it to What U Hear everything you hear becomes recorded --> for microphone recording set it to microphone (also set "monitoring while recording" on/off).

I have problems with gameplay(zuma blitz and bejeweled blitz)in the firefox browser window. the game is latent and play is very jerky..can u please help. i played them in the IE8 browser with no problem

i've tried playing zuma blitz and bejeweled blitz in the firefox browser window and the play is very jerky and slow.

Just had the same thing happen AGAIN. Suddenly - a blank iPlayer Desktop which failed to download new programmes. All previous programmes were still in the repository folder. This time the sequence I outlined previously didn't work.
What eventually got things working this time was to reinstall Adobe Air as part of the BBC iPlayer Desktop installation process - and not separately.
So:
a) Move iPlayer to trash.
b) Find and delete the following folder: Users/Yourname/Library/Preferences/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDBBD 723A6DA9D.1
c) Find and delete the following folder:
Users/Yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDB BD723A6DA9D.1
d) Find and delete the following folder:
Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository/cache
e) Find and run: Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Uninstaller
f) Empty the Trash. I found that bits and pieces of BBC iPlayer were still running despite having been quit and dumped in the trash - and so it wouldn't allow me to complete this part. Restarted the computer, then empty the trash.
g) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository and rename it repository2
h) Reinstall iPlayer. It will tell you that you have no programmes to view. Quit the programme.
i) Find and delete the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository
j) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository2 and rename it to repository.
k) Relaunch iPlayer
It would be terribly nice if the BBC or Adobe stopped buggering about with this . . .

Problems with iPod Touch- YouTube and Push Notifications

After installing iOS4 on my 64gb iPod Touch I've noticed I cannot view YouTube videos and push notifications do not work.
The YouTube app launches, however if I try to search or play a video a pop up will read "Cannot connect to YouTube". If I go to YouTube's newly redesigned mobile site they work fine.
Although all my settings are the same as they have ever been, push notifications do not work. When launching any app with push notification support it always states "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications". I've done this, but nothing works.
For the record, I've never jailbroken or in any other way altered my device. I've tried performing a hard reset with no success, as well as letting the battery drain completely and shutting off before recharging.
Thanks for any help.

Downgrading is not supported by Apple.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
