Really upset - please, please help!!!

Have had my iPod shuffle since May and it has worked ok up until now but of course I cannot get help from Apple unless I pay a minimum of $49 so I would appreciate any suggestions from others who may have experienced my problem.
Every song I have ever added to my iPod has played until this last weekend. Now only a few of the songs will play. I tried downloaded the most recent updates which did not work. Then I reset my iPod to factory settings and reloaded all of my music. Now different songs play but in about the same size loop. Am I screwed?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I had a similar fault with my Shuffle back in August where it wouldn't play certain songs, it would just freeze. I took it to the Apple Store where they promptly replaced it with another Shuffle.
It sounds as if your shuffle is still within the 1 year warranty period, if you have an Apple Store in your vicinity, take it there to the Genius Bar and they'll look at it without charging you a penny. If it is faulty, they will be obliged to repair it or more likely replace it.

  • Dock acting really weird - Please help!

    After installing the Mobile ME update and iTunes 7.7, my dock has been acting really weird.
    1. I usually set the default dock size at the smallest possible. However, now when you left click on the separator of folders and applications, it allows the dock to become smaller than possible when setting from the Preference Pane
    2. The dock automatically becomes smaller over time until the icons are really tiny.
    Is this a bug encountered by anyone else? It really bugs me that I have to keep pulling the dock to a standard size. Can someone please help me out of this mess?

    Hey VK
    Thanks for the quick response.
    I did just that. Deleted the com.apple.dock.plist under my user home directory/Library/Preferences.
    While it reset the dock, the problem still remains. You can view the problem by
    1. Setting the dock to the smallest possible size via the Preference Pane
    2. Turn on magnification and bring it closer to the left side of the adjustable bar
    3. Now, use your mouse to drag the dock by the separator
    Observation: The dock will become smaller than is "set" by the bar in Preference Pane
    4. Click on the bar in the preference pane, set at small, the dock will resize itself again
    5. Choose the dock to be set on the right
    6. Choose it to be set at bottom
    Observation: The dock is a LOT smaller than it could ever have been.
    7. Click on the smallest possible size in the preference pane, the dock resizes itself
    8. The dock keeps getting smaller over time still. =(!

    Hi SaintPrado, and welcome to the forums!
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667
    After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.
    Also, Get Temperature Monitor - 4.51 to see if it's heat related...

    Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

  • "Preparing iPhone for restore"since last 2 hr.s nothing really happening please help

    "Preparing iPhone for restore but nothings happening Could anyone please help?

    I appear to have managed to fix the issue through googling the error code (rather than ignoring it this time), and figured I'd add the solution here for anybody in the future.
    I simply moved my cable connecting my pc and iPhone to a USB port in the back of my computer rather than using the ones in the front and the process kicked off almost instantly without any further issues.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Cannot import files from ANY CD, confused and upset, please help!

    This has been ruining my whole week. I got a video iPod for Christmas, and installed iTunes on my father's computer to try it out. Everything worked great. I installed iTunes on my work computer(the only computer I have with a working hard drive), and while it recognizes both the iPod and the CDs I've tried to import to my Library, every time I click the "Import" button, I get an error message that says "Error occurred while converting the file "song title." The required file could not be found." What's more, iTunes deleted all the songs I'd loaded in at my dad's house.
    I installed the iTunes updates from this website. I used my computer's utilities to double-check that my DVD-ROM drive was up to date. I don't know what else to do! Please help.

  • Installed the OS X Yosemite my computer  froze up daily, trying to reinstall then I got really stucked, please help

    My computer kept freeze up daily with OS X Yosemite installed a while ago, and I followed the other  instruction to do "OS X" Recovery to: (1) erased my start up disk (2) Reinstalling Mac OS X Yosemite.
    While  about 18 or 20 minutes remaining from the installation, it went back to 2 hours 57 minutes but stuck there. I let my computer run over night but it was still at 2 hours 57 minutes. so I cancelled the installation which seemed to be the only choice.
    I tried again today, erased my start up disk and reinstalled again, same situation happened again, when the remaining time said around 20 minutes, it went back to 2 hours 56 minutes and stuck there.  I cancelled it again.
    I read some other instructions in this community and did a hard shutdown and restarted while hold down the command key + R key. it took me to the disk manager screen and the only choice I had was the OS X Lion version.
    I tried to install the OS X Lion, it said that will take 3 hours or so, after 20 minutes, a screen came up and said I need to turn off the computer by press the power button down then turn the computer on again.  And I did.  When I turn on the computer again, with Comand + R key pressed, I had to wait for an
    internet recovery before I went back to the disk manager and trying to reinstall the OS X system. It kept coming back to ask me to turn the power off…
    what can I do?  Please help,
    MacBook Air

    Boot back into the Recovery Partition. Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

  • Help, logo created in CS4 copying weird in CS6!! really stuck, Please help!

    I apologize for re posting this, but im trying to get some new help for my problem. I have created a logo in CS4 years ago, i need to work on it in CS6.
    You can see the problem here:
    http://www.bellwoodbnb.ca/1.html
    When i open:
    http://www.bellwoodbnb.ca/1.ai
    It opens correctly in CS6,
    when i copy and paste it into a new CS6 Ai file, it pastes as a faded version as seen here:
    http://www.bellwoodbnb.ca/2.ai
    We have checked to make sure all of the settings i can find are identical, we have replaces the CS6 pantones with legacy pantones and it did nothing. We know it opens, copy and pastes correctly in CS4 & CS5. But when copy/pasting or placing in CS6 it fades out for some reason.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!

    There's a redirect on the site which removed the "1.ai" portion. But you can put it back in and get the download. I posted too quickly.
    The reason things are different....
    Pantone color builds
    When you open the previous file you open the file with their existing Pantone CMYK color builds. When you paste the file, you paste and get the new Pantone LAB builds in CS6.
    Illustrator CS6 Pantone+ libraries do not contain CMYK color builds. The LAB builds are not as vibrant as the CMYK builds. Pantone states this is to "better represent colors on screen". Although I'm not a fan of this.
    You can read more about it here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/pantone-plus.html
    If working for print, the differnce in screen representation is not really something which is supposed to matter. After all Pantone 297U is Pantone 297U on press. I find the visual differnce pretty disconcerting and always revert to previous Pantone color books.
    Viewing the other thread... I don't know what more you expect to learn. Monika gave you sound advice there.

  • Blank Page, Really Stuck, Please Help

    Hi all,
    I've got a Report that I'm running from a client application to a job server that produces a Crystal Report. When I run this report against a local server on my machine the report completes without issue but when I run it against a different server on a different machine the report displays 3 blank pages in the middle of the data. I'm using the same database, same data, same report file. This occurs ONLY when running this report against the remote server and is unconcerned with any of the above listed conditions.
    -I'm using Crystal Reports 11.5
    Visual Studio 2008
    -My local machine is 32 bit win7, the remote server is 32 Windows Server 2008.
    If anyone could give me a hand at all I would be EXTREMELY gracious.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Hey guys, thanks a ton for the responses.
    I think I'm getting close. It has something to do with "Keep Together" either on the columns in a crosstab or on a couple sections within the report.
    What's really still blowing my mind here is how it's different on the 64 bit machine. The client application is previewing the reports in adobe reader so I don't think the print drivers should be relevant. I did go ahead and update to Adobe Reader 10 on both machines and it had no effect but playing with these "keep together" settings seems to work .
    I'll check back with final results later.
    Thanks again,
    Ryan

  • Hello, my email is connected to Lotus Notes. When I updated my iPad to iOS 6, it REQUIRED that I have a password for the iPad or else my email wouldn't work or synchronize with Lotus Notes (on my work laptop). This is really frustrating, please help.

    Hello, my email is connected to Lotus Notes. When I updated my iPad to iOS 6, it REQUIRED that I have a password for the iPad or else my email wouldn't work or synchronize with Lotus Notes (on my work laptop). This is really frustrating, because I cannot disable the password under General<Passcode. Thanks!

    This would almost certainly be a setting that is being enforced by your company. You'll need to talk to them about this.
    Regards.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.
