Serious Problems with anything IPOD related

I've recently had trouble with my IPOD. I connect it to the computer and see the charging splash screen for a few seconds and then it stops. My computer doesent detect it at all (like it used to) and my IPOD wont even turn on. I read some troubleshooting on here and went ahead and uninstalled everything. I uninstalled quicktime, IPOD, IPOD updater, and ITUNES. I then downloaded both ITUNES and IPOD updated and in each instance I get this very very weird command line parameter:
Command line parameters:
/L language ID
/S Hide intialization dialog. For silent mode use: /S /v/qn.
/V parameters to MsiExec.exe
/UA<url to InstMsiA.exe>
/UW<url to InstMsiW.exe>
/UM<url to msi package>
After I receive that message I click "Ok" and absolutely nothing happens. It never did this before, I never had problems with my ipod or itunes before, nothing. I have no idea what the catalyst for all of this is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

BUMP!!
Now when I plug my IPOD in it actually has a splash screen. It shows a folder icon with an exclamation point. I imagine it shows that because I uninstalled ALL IPOD related software. The problem is, I STILL cant install any IPOD material, I get the same error code I posted earlier over and over again.

Serious problem with my iPod Classic/iTunes

I have a 6th Generation iPod classic (80 GB), and recently, I have been having some serious problems with it.
When I connect it to iTunes, there is usually no problem, it shows up, plays and displays the music correctly, etc. However, if I try to ADD any music to it, iTunes will freeze, then close, and within 5 minutes, my entire computer will freeze completely, and be shut off. For whatever reason, happen when my iPod finally disconnects because my computer turned off, all of my music is missing from the library (This doesn't happen every time it freezes, because I try to disconnect my iPod manually before everything freezes). The music is still on the iPod, (it says that I have XX.X GB of "other" instead of music/videos), but it doesn't show up. When I plug in my iPod, iTunes says that there was a problem and I need to restore it. The first time this happened, I lost over 5,800 songs, but I forgave Apple, because these things do occasionally happen, plus I had no idea what exactly went on. The SECOND time happened within the same week, after I had put 800 songs back on the restored iPod. The first time happened when I was using iTunes 10 (which is seriously buggy on my computer, and freezes often), so I switched to iTunes 9 (still buggy, but doesn't freeze quite as much), and the same thing happened. So now I'm thinking it's my iPod's fault. My iPod does a whole host of minor problems over time such as making certain songs cut off at a certain specific point for no reason (Always the same song, always the same cut off point, and I can't fast forward past it, I also can't delete the songs because if I highlight them on iTunes, iTunes will freeze, and if I find them under the music folder in iPod control, my computer will freeze), freezing the entire iPod for seemingly no reason, and somehow messing up my album artwork (it will appear as "Colourful Static"), along with alot more.
I know this is a troublesome problem, but if anyone could somehow shine some light on this problem, it would be tremendously appreciated.
Thank you

Unfortunately, when a hard drive starts clicking that means it's going bad. The mechanism is having trouble reading the drive. Since the iPod is mostly just a harddrive and a battery I have a feeling that this is your problem.
watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMm6c3fr-fU
about 25ss in is where the clicking starts. If it sounds like that, but softer and more muffled since it is a smaller drive that is being enclosed then I think you might be SOL. Maybe if you're iPod is still under warranty you can get a credit and go for a touch and avoid moving parts all together?

Im having serious problems with my ipod

Having serious problems withe my ipod touch 1st gen need help!!

just last week it was working fine then within a span of 2 hrs the wifi just wouldnt connnect any more. no matter what i did in reseting the the ipod or setting it wouldnt work. then it battery life just started to go only watched 20 min of a movie and the batter died. and yesterday i lastened to 8 hrs of music then it died. and now today only was able to listen to 1 hr of music then it died. all were charged over night. need help please!!!

WiFi problems, especially if you have lost the WiFi symbol from the top left of the screen, can usually be fixed by resetting network settings - Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
For your other problems, I think a complete restore might be in order. I would at least try it and see what happens.

SERIOUS problem with my iPod.

I was listening to music on my 5th generation iPod when it froze.. And I tried to reset it and the screen turned black, and then it said:
Connect to your computer.
Use iTunes to restore.
So ofcourse that's what I did, but it wouldn't restore because of a 1418 error, I looked it up and they suggested that I updated my iTunes software.. and so I did. And it still wouldnt restore.
I tried updating my iTunes software again today,and this time it said something about not being able to find iPod services, and I should check if I have the rights to something. I don't remember it correctly and it was in danish, so I dont know what the exact message is in english.
Please could someone help me? I miss my music.

I'm assuming that when you mentioned that you were supposed to update iTunes that you were talking about following the directions at this link
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508
Did you also see the other information that is mentioned there such as this
"If you have iTunes 7.0.2 or later installed and a 1415, 1417, 1418, or 1428 error dialog is still displayed when restoring your iPod in iTunes, try removing any third-party USB devices you have connected to your computer (it is not necessary to remove your keyboard or mouse)."
If all else fails, follow the directions/links it mentions to get your iPod serviced.

Serious problem with Ipod touch 4g

Hi.
Sorry form my bad english but i have a serious problem with my Ipod.
Couple days ago my Ipod touch 4g was little bit weted on rain(just couple drops on screen and maybe little bit in headphones and dock connectors) When saw this, i putted Ipod in rice for 72 hours.
After being wet i not try ot tuned on or charge, just stay in rice. After that i try tuned on. but the device isnt'starting.
When putted oncharge, and after 2 hours i pushed sleep and home buttons and he turned on. On the display had a "z" or other name sig-sag symbol,
later i readthis meeans battery is fully discharged and it's need from couple hours to charge. Butwhen i saw this symbol, on the display in upper corner have a little spot(maybe moisture),and putted in rice for other 24 hours. On nextday try to charge and turned on, but this time the ipod isn't turned on. Even can't start recovery or dfu mode.
My question is - did wet and not warking Ipod is normal to be not recognises by pc?- even date recovery programs cant'recognised him.
Also the important is condition on my cabble. Its verry bad condition, and even before weting Ipod,ismaking problmes wih charging.
Its posible problem is cabble?
Pleasa help.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Serious problem with AppStore/iTunes WiFi Store. Cannot connect

Hi
I has a serious problem with my iPod Touch: When I tries to open App Store on my iTouch, I usually gets this message: *"Cannot connect to iTunes Store"*, often followed by *"Cannot retrieve download information. Please connect with iTunes."*. iTunes on my MacBook seems to work just fine.
I might also be able to use the AppStore for a minute or so, and then the problems are coming back. All other internet-enabled apps is working fine, except the iTunes WiFi Store who's having the same problems as AppStore.
What should I do?

That would be a wonderful suggestion if my computer could connect to iTunes. Since about July my computer keeps giving me error 11222. I've tried everything on the support discussion board, but they haven't solved the problem either, and my software is up to date. Today instead of giving me the error, it's just been sitting for hours saying "Accessing iTunes Store". I was really hoping that I could just use the wifi on the iPod to access the iTunes and AppStore. Any other suggestions until iTunes gets fixed on my computer? Thanks for your help - Lex

Help me please : Serious problems with collection-mapping, list-mapping and map-mappi

Hi everybody;
I have serious problems with list-mapping, collection-mapping and map-mapping.
Acording to specifications and requirements in a system I am working on it is needed to
get a "list" of values or an indivudual value.I am working with ORACLE 9i Database,
ORACLE 9i AS and ORACLE 9i JDEVELOPER.
I tried to map a master-detail relationship in an entity-bean, using list-mapping.
And this was very useful in order to get a "list" of details, ...but, when I wanted
to get a single value I have some problems with persistence, something about "saving a state"
despite I just want to get the value of a single detail.
I decided to change it to map-mapping and the problem related with a single detail
worked successfully, but I can get access to the whole bunch of details.
May anyone of you help me with that?
I am very confused I do not know what to do.
Have any of you a solution for that problem?
Thank you very much.

Have you tried a restore in iTunes?

Severe problem with 'Drill to Related' using drill icon

Hi
I have a severe problem with 'Drill to Related' in Discoverer Plus (10.1.2.54.25) using the drill icon of a worksheet:
1. Though existing no items to drill to are shown in the context menu (or pop-up list), instead it says just 'Drill to Related...'
2. Clicking on menue item 'Drill to Related...' results in 50% processor load (permanent) and no further update of the browser window (IE 7.0.5730.11) containig Discoverer Plus. There is no recovery of that state within about 20 minutes.
This behaviour is both highly reproducible and annoying.
When using the drill dialog instead of the icon the expected items are shown and 'Drill to Related' works fine. Although that is a workaround I don't think it acceptable to tell the end-users to use it.
I searched metalink for a hint but couldn't find anything.
Can anyone help?
Franziska

Hi S
This seems to be a bug that was fixed earlier since we didn't experience it having applied cumulative patch 3 earlier.
Something might be said about your problem in Metalink
Doc ID: Note:422575.1
Subject: Drilling With Discoverer Viewer 10g (10.1.2) Using Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) Fails With Javascript Error
We still had to apply the patch for the bug I mentioned earlier in this thread in order to be able to see and select an item to drill to. Unfortunately the problem with the processor load up to 50% and nothing happening is still there.
By the way IE 7 is certified now according to the Oracle certification information.
Hope this helps
Franziska

Strange problem with portable iPod dock

I recently bought an iLive portable dock so that I could listen to my iPod at work. It worked just fine the first few weeks and then I took my iPod on a car trip and used one of those adapters that finds an available radio frequency to play your iPod over your car radio. When I went back to work the following week my iPod no longer worked right on the portable system. I have to turn the volume all the way up on the system and even then it's all static and you can barely hear the song. I can't imagine that it has anything to do with using the adapter in the car but that's the only thing I can think of since it worked fine before this. What's really strange is that my husband's iPod works fine on the portable system and he's used the car adaptor many times. I don't think it's a problem with the iPod itself because it works fine using the headphones and hooked up to the computer. Furthermore, the speakers on the portable sytem are good because my husband's iPod works on it and I can play the radio just fine through it. I'm at a complete loss and I can't figure out what could have caused this problem. As I said, my iPod worked just fine for three weeks prior to this and out of the blue this happened. Now I can't listen to my iPod at work and it really *****.

Does teh FM radio thingy plug into the iPod's dock connector on the bottom?
Have you inspected the pins in the dock connector of your iPod with a magnifying glass? You might have dirt, corrosion, film, something on the pins not giving you a good connection to the signal pins on the connector (but not on the USB power and Sync pins so the iPod would still sync ok to the computer).
