SERIOUS PROBLEM - need help! flashing lights!

my ipod has turned into a strobe light machine.
it started when my ipod's battery died. i tried to charge it through a usb hub and power cable. that is, i powered the usb hub directly from a wall socket, then used the ipod cord plugged into the hub to charge it.
*the battery fried*
i went to batteries plus and got a replacement battery. i installed it myself. about a minute later, the ipod heated up veyr rapidly. i feared it would melt the hardrive so i disconnected it and reconnected it. i did this about a dozen times, each time it still got dangerously hot.
then i broke the ribbon cable to the battery.
i didn't do anything to the ipod after that for about 6 months.
i got a new battery today. i retried it, everything worked fine. no heating up. i went to go charge it by plugging it into the computer and itunes popped up saying that the ipod was corrupted, i may have to restore it. so i hit restore, and then it said it couldnt restore because of an *unknown errpr*.
dammit.
the screen had gone a dark grey. i disconnected the battery and reconnected it. the ipod hissed - like a cockroach or somthing - when i did and it began to flash on and off again like a strobe light.
whiteblackwhiteblackwhiteblack thats all it does.
this is the same problem that happened when i fried the first battery
now im INCREDIBLY frustrated. imi praying that someone can please help me!!!!!
thanks and sorry for the long post. this is my first one by the way.

Exactly. Try http://www.iresq.com or http://www.ipodmods.com or one of the other 3rd party repair sites.

IPod Classic (160 gb) Serious problem, need help!

a day ago, i was playing some music (with iPod speakers), after an hour of playing i connected my ipod to headphones and resumed playng, but my ipod started "lagging" like when i pressed music it took 1 min to enter Music menu. after 15 minutes it returned to normal, and after playing some music for 30 minutes it just froze.
i was not at home so i had no computer to restore it with itunes, so i tried to reset it, when i reseted it ipod logo appeared and nothing more happened. i tried to reset it again but again, i got stuck on apple logo. i decided to let it rest for a while and i wanted battery to die and charge it back up. after an hour it started reseting itself it went on and off again but nothing more than apple logo appeared. every 15 minutes or so it did that. when battery died i recharged it but i couldnt get past apple logo.
i restored my ipod with itunes today. it gave ema an error 1453 (or sth like that) but first when i connected ipod my computer didnt recognize it. i put my ipod into disk mode and then itunes started recognising it. i restored it it kind of started normally sycnronised songs but when i disconected it, bang apple logo appeared. i tried restoring it again but the problem didnt go away. i tried scanning my ipod for viruses. (i have a good anti-virus) so after 40% of scanning was done it gave me an eror that there was no disc. and the scan button never appeared on ipod again after that...
so can anyone help me?
or am i doomed? oh and by the way i bought my ipod 1 year ago and i had dropped it only once throughout the whole year (it was 5 months ago) and nothing happened to it.

I've had that problem before, reboot your pod. hold down the center button and the menu button at the same time till you see the apple logo. That should clear it up.

FCE Beginner having SERIOUS problems. HELP

I am a FCE begginner and I am having a serious problem and is in need of serious help.
I am trying to capture video clips into FCE from my Panasonic video camera which is only a Standard Definition video camera using a mini DV tape.
When I connect to the FW400, it looks okay when I opened up FCE. So, I clicked FILE > CAPTURE.
I can see my video is being played in the capture window. I then click the Mark-In button. About 15 seconds later, I clicked the Mark-Out button. Then I clicked the Capture Clip button.
About 10 seconds after clicking the Capture Clip button, a message appear saying that "Dropped frames were detected during the last capture". I clicked OK and an icon appeared on the browser window.
My problem is this:
1) What can I do to prevent the dropped frames ?
2) Why is the icon appear as a red colour background with a red diagonal line ?
3) Why is it when I drag this icon into the timeline & try to play the captured video, I can only see the word UNRENDERED in blue colour appearing on the canvas ?
4) I also try to view what I have captured by putting the icon into the viewer window. And what I saw was the word MEDIA OFFLINE. Why can't I viewed what I have captured ?
Other questions:
5) After finish capturing, what is the best way to end the capturing ? When to pull of the FW400 cable ? How & when to close the capturing window ?
6) When the video was playing in the capture window, how do I fast-forward and see the video moving faster at the same time ? (I only know there is a fast-forward button but when I clicked it, the STOP button is automatically activated and I cannot see the video moving)
Thank you very much. Any help is appreciated.

2. That's because the clip isn't really captured. It's offline.
3 - 4. Because the clip hasn't been captured.
5. When you finish capturing close the capture window. If you want you can pull the camera out or leave it connected.
6. Use the J-K-L keys. J backward, K pause, L forward. Press L a bunch of times and you go fast forward. Remember cameras are not very responsive devices. They're not like decks designed for shuttling tape.
1. What's the cameras exactly? What's the drive? How's everything connected? What settings are on the media? What settings are you using in FCE?
Thanks Tom for your answer but I apologise I don't quite understand some of the thing because I am really green in FCE. I use iMovie 09 previously.
2-3-4 What does offline means ? I mean why is the clip hasn't been captured ? I tried to follow capture clip as indicated in your book pg 59 to 66. But I think what I obtained were something like Fig 4.13 & 4.14 of page 67 in your book.
Maybe I relate what I did. I am able to see my video playing on the capture video without any problem. So, when I reach a certain part of the video I click the Mark-In button and the Time indicator on the Left hand side change from NOT SET to a certain number. After about 10 to 15 seconds I clicked the Mark Out button and the Time indicator on the Right hand side change from NOT SET to a certain number.
Then I click the video to stop. Then I clicked the Capture Clip button. After that a black screen appear with a small apple logo at the centre with the bottom saying "Cueing for Source Material" just like fig 4.11 in page 66 of your book. Then I have the same black screen but this time it says "NOW CAPTURING" just like Fig 4.12 in page 66 of your book.
After that, a message appear saying "Dropped frames were detected during the last capture". I just clicked OK and an icon appeared on the browser window. So, how come the clip hasn't been captured ? The fact that ican warn me of some dropped frames means that something must have been captured, right ? Or is it that ALL frames have been dropped ?
So, where did I go wrong ?
5) Ok thanks, I got that
6) Ok thanks, the J-K-L keys on the keyboard really works !! Yay !!
1) The model of my video camera is Panasonic NV-GS230. It is only a Standard Definition video camera using mini DV tape.
I am using a Lacie FW800 external Hardrive to store the media files.
I connect the Panasonic video camera to the iMac FW400 slot. So far, I have no problem capturing with this video camera in iMovie 09 and iMovie HD 06 using the same slot.
How do I check the settings on the media ? If you are referring to EASY SETUP, my settings are:
FORMAT: (all format)
RATE: (all rates)
USE: DV NTSC
Except for System Settings where I set the scratch disk to my external Lacie and changing the Level of Undo in User preference to 32 (just like you suggested in page 43 of your book), the rest my settings on the FCE are all default settings because I did not change anything except the 2 mentioned. Is there any setting in particular that you want to check ?
Thanks & sorry for being a real slow beginner. Really appreciate your help.
Thanks

BIOS doesnt recognize SATA connected Hard Drive- need help flashing bios from bootable USB

hi
I have an envy laptop running InsydeH20 bios rev f14.
the bios doesn't recognize the internally connected hdd/ssd.
I have heard that with insyde bios', sometimes you have to unlock 'secret capabilities' to recognize hardware incl internal hdd.
but I am just trying to reflash my bios.
the problem is that I cant get into windows because it doesn't recognize my hard drive and windows doesn't allow insallation to usb connected drives.
I downloaded the patch from hp.com for my product and it actually has an option for making a bootable USB for use on the actual system, and I did this. the instructions are to just restart my computer with the bootable usb. I have tried Legacy support on and off, neither updates bios.
I highly doubt it has anything to do with the physical sata connector.
basically I need to flash my bios from bootable usb. I have done some research about making a bootable dos usb etc etc but I don't know what program to even run and how..
this is a link to my product:

Thanks!!

hi
I need to flash the bios of my system. the bios is not recognizing hardware and cannot boot into windows to run the bios flash for windows.
on my other comp I ran the bios update patch and chose ' install to bootable usb ' so that I could use it on my system.
cannot run on my laptop. tried booting from the media. tried allowing 'legacy' compatibility.
im running insydeH2O rev f14 right now.

Zen Micro problem need help

Today i was listening to music and my zen micro just froze while playing and no buttons could be pressed and the lock button wasnt on. So i took the battery out and rebooted the player but it froze at the creative screen. I went home and i went to recovery mode and tried to reload the firmware but it said erasing firmware for more than 2 hours. So then i tried a format but it said formating for the same amount of time. I need help please. Also, recently i've had problems witht the headphone jack. When ever i would stick it in it would sound distorted and i would have to move it around until i got it to a certain spot to hear it good again. If anyone else has this problem please tell me. One more thing i had returned my other micro zen in for hard dri've probems and this was my new one do u think if i have to return in (hopefully not) that they would accept it.

If the functions in Rescue Mode aren't working properly then you need to contact Creative Support.

Serious Problem. Help!!!

Hi. Im having some serious problems. Some of my programs refuse to load. None of the Microsoft Office programs will open. Omnidisksweeper wont load, nor will Windows Media Player. I used Microsoft Word this morning. Now nothing. I ran Monolingual and have no idea if that messed it up or not. Pleeeease help!

I did the same thing with the same results- only native intel apps, no rosetta. I installed in place via the disc one of the system discs and everything was back to normal.
btw, I only saved 360 mgs with monolingual- seems somewhat shy of what I was expecting- having heard there were close to 2 gigs worth on other posts regarding monolingual.

Still stuck with the same old producer consumer weight problem need help

Hello All,
This is the problem I am stuck with right now.
I have two array lists one producer array list and one consumer array list denoted by a and b
P1 P2 P3 P4 P5
5 6 7 8 9
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5
2 3 4 5 6
Now we find all those producer consumer pairs which satisfy the criteria Pi>=Ci
We have the following sets
(5,2)(6,2)(7,2),(8,2),(9,2)
(5,3)(6,3)(7,3),(8,3),(9,3)
(5,4)(6,4)(7,4),(8,4),(9,4)
(5,5)(6,5)(7,5),(8,5),(9,5)
(6,6)(7,6)(8,6),(9,6)
Let us done each of them with Si
so we have S1,S2,S3,S4,S5
we assign a third parameter called weight to each element in Si which has satisfied the condition Pi>=Ci;
so we we will have
(5,2,ai),(6,2,bi),(7,2,ci)....etc for S1
similarly for S2 and so on.
We need to find in each set Si the the pair which has the smallest weight.
if we have (5,2,3) and (6,2,4) then 5,2,3 should be chosen.We should make sure that there is only one pair in every set which is finally chosen on the basis of weight.
Suppose we get a pair (5,2,3) in S1 and (5,2,3) in S2 we should see that (5,2,3) is not used to compare to compare with any other elements in the same set S2,
Finally we should arrive at the best element pair in each set.They should be non repeating in other sets.
Given a problem
P0 P1 P2 P3 P4
9 5 2 2 8
6 5 4 5 3
C0 C1 C2 C3 C4
we have So as (P0,C0) and (P4,C0)
assuming that the one with the smaller index has lesser weight PO is selected.In the program I have used random weights.from set S1 we select the pair PO,CO
S1 =(P0,C1),(P1,C1) and (P4,C1)
since P0 and P4 are already used in previous set we dont use them for checking in S1 so we have (P1,C1) as best.
S2=(P0,C2),(P1,C2) and (P4,C2) so we dont use P0,C2 and P1 and C2 because PO and P1 are already used in S1.
So we choose P4,C2
in S3 and S4 ae have (P0,C3),(P1,C3),(P4,C3) so we dont choose anything
and same in S4 also.
So answer is
(P0,C0),(P1,C1) and (P4,C2).
My program is trying to assign weights and I am trying to print the weights along with the sets.It doesnt work fine.I need help to write this program to do this.
Thanks.
Regards.

[\code]

In your example you selected the pair with the greatest
distance from the first set, and the pair with the least
distance from the second. I don't see how the distance
function was used.
Also it's not clear to me that there is always a solution,
and, if there is, whether consistently choosing the
furthest or the closest pairs will always work.
The most obvious approach is to systematically try
all possibilities until the answer is reached, or there
are no possibilities left. This means backtracking whenever
a point is reached where you cannot continue. In this case
backtrack one step and try another possibility at this
step. After all possible choices of the previous step,
backtrack one more step and so on.
This seems rather involved, and it probably is.
Interestingly, if you know Prolog, it is ridiculously
easy because Prolog does all the backtracking for you.
In Java, you can implement the algorithm in much the same
way as Prolog implementations do it--keep a list of all the
choice points and work through them until success or there
are none left.
If you do know Prolog, you could generate lots of random
problems and see if there is always a solution.

Another Infinite Login Loop Problem - need help badly

Hello. I need help.
When I start up my iMac (24 inch last generation model) I can't log into the OS. When I enter my password I see the default OS wallpaper (nothing else) then it kicks me to a blue screen then right back to the login. Same thing over and over. I've already ran disk utility off of the install CD to repair permissions, etc... but no luck. This even happens when I enter into safe mode. I'm running the latest version of the OS.
Can anyone help me?

Restore the bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup. Without one, you have a difficult situation. First thing to try is boot with your install disc, run Disk Utility, and repair the disk.
