Settings not retained after a few days of non-use

If I don't use the iPod for a few days, when I turn it on I see the menu for selecting my language. Then I also have to reset my contrast and main menu options, etc. Essentially, my settings are not being retained.
I can understand the appearance of the Apple logo as the iPod restarts, but I shouldn't have to keep recreating my settings. It didn't used to do this.

Hi Michael
Have you had any answers to this as i'm expierencing the same problem.
If my g3 ipod has not been used for a few days,when i switch it on the contrast as at factory setting & the language option screen is displayed.
Again like yourself i did not used to have this problem
i'll keep checking this site for updates however if you have managed to resolve this i would be greatful if you could advise
Regards
Ed

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

  • IPad Personal Hotspot antenna shuts off after a few minutes of non-use. This happens in both Verizon 3G and LTE areas. Turning off LTE does not help. Turning Personal Hotspot off and then on works. Does this happen on Mini and Retina?

    iPad--third generation shuts off antenna/hotspot after a few minutes of non-use.
    Happens in 3G and LTE VZ environment.
    Turning hotspot off and on getsw things working again.
    Does Apple have antenna on a timer so it shuts off after a few minutes?
    Does this happen on Mini and Retina as well?

    Two things together have restored connectivity.
    1.  I changed the name under Settings > General > About > Name from My Name's iPad to iPad of My Name.  I read somewhere that iOS 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 (I forget which) sometimes had issues with apostrophes here.  Easy enough to test.
    2.  I then reset (again) the APN settings under Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > Personal Hotspot and reentered our provider's info (APN, Username, Password) there.
    I don't know WHY it worked, but the personal hotspot is now happily sharing (again) internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro.

  • Why are my notes disappearing after a few days?

    I have an I-Phone 5, purchased last March.  I have upgraded to IOS 7 when it first came out, no problem.  I have been making lists of my packing boxes and they keep disappearing after a few days.  I am wondering if sync is wiping them out.  Anyone else having a problem with the notes feature?

  • Songs not visible after a few days non-use

    I've heard about this "problem" (i.e. apparent built-in functionality) of the iPod, but have just experienced it for the first time. I've not used my iPod for about a week and today when I went to turn it on none of my music was visible. I'm sure it is all still there because the space is being used on the disk (I can see that via Windows Explorer), but there is nothing to listen to. Someone told me in the past that the iPod hides all audio files as a form of theft protection or similar if it isn't used for a certain number of days. To me it is just annoying. If anyone could provide a fix (especially if it doesn't involve reformatting the drive), I'd appreciate it.
    For bonus points: I'd like to ideally solve this without using iTunes. I very happily use Winamp with an iPod support plugin (http://mlipod.com/) to manage my music library and syncing with iTunes will completely mess up months of organizing. If anyone has a solution for this "no music" problem, I'm all ears.
    Thanks!

    Update: iTunes could also not recognize the iPod even with the latest firmware installed. I had no choice but to do a restore to factory state, which wiped my hard drive clean and required me to spend about an hour restoring about 10GB of files. Thanks, Apple!
    Although it seems this may have been a software/firmware problem with the iPod, I'm still interested in whether or not anyone has heard of songs being hidden after X days of iPod non-use. Is it just an urban legend or, in fact, true? Is there a way to deactivate such a stupid feature to avoid future calamties?
    Thanks!

  • Wiki does not respond after a few days

    Hi,
    I have set up the wiki server on a newly bought mac mini (winter 2011) running latest version of Snow Leopard. Authentication is performed through remote Open Directory and Active Directory servers. No third party software installed.
    Everything works just fine for a few days (1-2 weeks), but then the server starts to respond VERY slowly. This looked like a memory problem to me (busy processor, low ram, etc), but a quick look at the Activity Monitor shows me nothing's wrong there.
    I can reboot and it will go on for another few days, but I wonder if this does not hide another problem.
    I'm pretty sure this is a wiki related issue, because we have identical machines, but the ones without web services run smoothly without need for an occasional reboot. Also, I did many fresh install, and the problem always came back.
    Anyone has experienced something similar?

    This is quite a common problem. The usual cause is inadvertent use of the "mute speech" command via the Trackpad Commander.
    To toggle VO speech on and off using the Trackpad, tap twice with three fingers simultaneously.
    Otherwise, you can summon up the VoiceOver command menu using VO-H-H, type "PAR" (French for "SPEech" and press Return.
    For the Zoom problem, open System Preferences —> Universal Access and make sure you tick the "Zoom follows the keyboard focus" checkbox.
    You might also want to experiment with the Screen Image radio buttons lower down the window:
    • Continuously with pointer (some people find this makes them seasick);
    • Only when the pointer reaches an edge (usually preferred); and
    • So the pointer is at or near the center of the image (some people like this).
    Have you thought of looking at the French language website http://cecimac.org/ ? It's full of articles and tips for beginners, all in French. There is also a very lively e-mail Forum for Francophone VoiceOver users.
    Good luck,

  • Voice Over not working after a few days.

    Hi, I really need help on this one.
    I have a friend who can't do anything without using Voice Over. We downloaded french voices and everything runned perfect for a few days, then it suddenly stopped working. When starting up the computer, we just hear "Talk deactivated" (in french), then nothing more. But the talk option is still "on" on the Voice Over preference panel.
    The other problem is that we used the zoom function and made it following the cursor. Now, it just ignores the mouse's movements.
    I don't know what to do.
    Many thanks by advance !

  • Input source settings not retained after log out/restart

    Hi,
    This was happening in Mavericks as well, and I have just upgraded to 10.10.1 hoping it would solve the issue.
    I frequently need two input sources (US and Czech QWERTY Keybaords) for my workflow. But everytime I logout or restart, the computer resets the input source to Czech (not QWERTY). I have never selected this keyboard, but it always resets to this default.
    Is there a plsit file or something I can delete? I bought the computer used from a friend in the Czech Republic, but I am Aermican and would prefer default system languages and keyboards to be US English. I do, however, need the region settings set to Czech Republic as that's where I work. So, calendar, numbers, currency etc. should be Czech, but all other system language US English.
    Thanks for any help.

    Its OK
    Updating the driver worked, seems it wasnt binding the NVIDIA Config to the xserver

  • Some system settings not retained after restart

    In Snow Leopard, after a restart, the sound volume setting defaults to 50% and some Finder window views settings change (icon view becomes list view) or a cleaned up window reverts to jammed up icons. Additionally, iTunes always asks to allow incoming connections even after using the Security setting to allow them. Reset the PRAM but the problem persists. Is anyone else having these problems and is there a solution?

    I updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain  Lion and blow me down, full control of the startup sound has returned !
    Maybe the Apple Store put something into the PRAM which was ML specific.  I don't know.  It's just working now.
    Sorry I can't help explain what to do.

  • Iphone shuts down after a few minutes of non-use (after 1.1.3 update)

    After the update, if I do not use the iphone for a few minutes it basically goes dead and I need to power it on and it reloads the system...I tried to reinstall the update, delete all my data and start fresh...nothing has worked...I really do not know what else to do...it really seems a software issue...
    Any thoughts? Thanks,

    i am having the same problem... i turned the auto-lock off so my phone never sleeps and in return it runs my battery down even faster and calls people on accident... even more odd is that the car charger i bought from at&t has alweays worked fine until the 1.1.3 update and it all of the sudden started sayin that this accessory wasn't designed for an iphone and that i should put it in airplane mode so i wouldn't get interference... i have restored several times and nothing helps... i have been all over the net looking for a fix but finally had to call apple and they are sending me a loaner and i have to ship mine back to them for repair... should be here tomorrow (i hope)... beware there is a $30 loaner phone fee... as bad as it sounds i'm glad to hear that i'm not the only one with this problem...

  • HT4235 HELP! I am trying to synch my ipod classic after a few years of non use of itunes. I cannot do so. Diagnostic tests, specifically Device Synch Tests report that "no ipod found".  What have I got to do please?

    HELP!!!!  I am attempting to synch my ipod Classic but have not used itunes for a few years. My ipod refuses to synch & its driving me crazy as I know nothing about computers either. I have run the diagnostics, specifically the Device Synch Tests which report that "no ipod found" although it is showing up clearly in itunes itself.  So its recognized and showing me my libraries but is unrecognised when it comes to synching.  I gave tried a few tips from previous similar queries (unchecking various boxes) and nothing is working. I am using Windows 7 64. Can anybody assist please??

    You could try the DFU restore method in Corrupt iPod classic.
    Or visit http://www.apple.com/uk/support/contact/ to explore your support options. Is the device still in warranty?

    Jerricayoung,
    you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen.
