Solution to dead 20 gig black and white ipod

my ipod was dead for over three days. i hadnt the slightest idea y it died but just today i fixed it. all i had to to was hold down the pause button and the center one to reset it. i thought that all i had to do was reset it before but i thought (and everything on apple.com told me to hold down the menue button and the pause button) (bastards!) but anyway i thought that thats what i had to do but i just held down pause and center and it restarted
the problem, (dead ipod) occured because i had the usb cord going through a usb dock(that had 4 other slots.) this dock didnt allow the ipod to be recharging when it was hooked up the computer. so it compleetly ran out of batteries. whell enough to not respond or turn on and oddly not enough to recharge. idk but anyway all i had to do was reset it by holding down the Center and the Pause
ps if the center and pause dont work try the center and menu.

Turn off your comp and disconnect the iPod. Reset the iPod into disk mode by holding Menu + Center, then when the screen blanks out, release both buttons and switch to holding the play pause and center buttons. This will put the iPod into disk mode.
With the iPod disconnected from your comp, turn your comp on and let it boot up fully. Start nothing until it has fully booted. Then open the iPod updater. Then connect your iPod. Hopefully the restore button will become available and you'll be able to finish the process.
Let us know if this works.
A question for you: Is your USB port high powered? Apple didn't supply a charger with their iPod product for this model line, and I've always wondered what problems this will cause for people who try to use the iPod with low powered USB ports because they don't have any option. Apple claims this is not a supported configuration, but I'd hazard a guess that more than 40% of all computer users (not iPod users) don't have access to a computer with powered USB ports.

Is there any differences between black and white ipod touch ?? only the color or there are hardware differences?

is there any differences between black and white ipod touch ?? only the color or there are hardware differences?

You're welcome.
What?
Sorry, but no. The parts are identical with the only difference being a white housing or a black housing.

TV shows up as black and white when I hook Ipod to TV

I have the dock and the remote, the cables, etc.... Yet when I hook up to the T.V. to watch downloaded show 1. I either get the show in Black and White
or 2. I get audio only. What's the solution?

if you are not using cables specifically designed for the iPod make sure you switch the red and the yellow. also make sure the TV out setting is on in your video settings on your iPod.
if you are using a cable specifically for the iPod and it doesn't work after trying the above the cable maybe defective.

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod photo stuck in disk mode and screen is in Black and white

came to use my ipod photo after about a week of not using it. when i took it out the colour screen was in black and white and the screen is stuck to saying it is in disk mode with a large tick.
the ipod will mount and does show up in itunes it will even play songs via itunes. i have tried resetting to no avail and my next option was to restore to factory settings which i am loathe to do as i have songs on my ipod that are no longer in my itunes library.
anyone had similar issue or can suggest a fix
thanks

well the problem has been solved...hope this may help others having this issue.
i basically just let the battery run out, then connected the ipod to my laptop and voila...it reset and all is well again...
pretty random, but glad it is all working again.

80GB ipod only outputs in black and white

I just bought a new 80GB 5th Gen iPod and hooked it up to my TV and it only outputs the picture in Black and White. If I take my old 60GB 5th Gen iPod it will output a picture no problem in color with the same TV and the same cable hooked up the same way.
All TV out settings are the same:
TV Out: Ask (I turn to ON)
NTSC
Widescreen On
Cable: Apple's iPod AV Cable M9765G/A
The weird thing though is if I take my new 80GB 5th Gen iPod and hook it up to my "MyVu" headsup display, it displays in color. It just won't do it on my TV.
Why won't it display color on my TV?

Try a different Video file on the 80 GB;to see if any changes? Are there any other title;s Videos are Podcast,
TV Shows that will playback in color-- if so It's possible that your file format is not compatible.
Check to see how the video files are define by format, frame rate etc; that your using as a reference to playback on TV.
See if you have any other Video's on the 80GB that will play in color.
Make sure your 80GB is using Itunes Version 7.0 or higher

Printing in black and white only - looking for a definitive solution

Hi
I've been trying to find out once and for all how to make sure my black and white text documents are printing only from the large pigment-based cartridge (525 PGBK), rather than using the smaller black dye-based cartridge (526BK), or from a combination of the dye-based colour cartridges. I've trawled through endless forums, and finally in frustration I recently called Canon's Australian phone support team.
I thought I'd nailed it. The phone support person told me that if the document I'm printing is definitely black only, then all I need to do is print normally, with grayscale DE-selected. He said nothing about also de-selecting duplex. But I've since read online advice that contradicts this in relation to other models (I haven't found any advice based specifically on the MG6150, apart from the phone guy from Canon). Some say you need to SELECT grayscale and DE-select duplex; others say to DE-select both grayscale and duplex; others say to select grayscale, DE-select duplex, and also select dither (on my screen that's under Main > Print Quality > Custom). I'm now wondering whether I've nailed it after all.
If anyone from Canon is reading this, can you please give a definitive answer to these questions:
1. How do I ensure that my black and white text documents print only from the large pigment cartridge?
2. Can I print in automatic duplex using this method, or do I have to do manual duplex?
2. Will this also work for purely black and white NON-text documents as well (e.g., photos that have been converted from colour to B&W)?
3. If not, is there another way of forcing B&W NON-text documents to print from the pigment cartridge? What about a way of forcing colour documents to print from the pigment cartridge?
4. If my smaller black dye cartridge (526BK) isn't being used up at the same rate as the other dye cartridges, is there a way of forcing the printer to use this instead of the pigment cartridge for B&W text documents, but NOT to mix in any of the colour cartridges at the same time?
5. Does this procedure work for all other Canon printer models in addition to the MG6150, or just a limited range?
Many thanks for your patience in reading this -- I'm really trying to get the best out of my printer rather than give up and buy a different brand, and I'm sure others would appreciate a definitive answer to these questions as well.

I have at MG8100 and it seems that there is no solution to this. I have scoured the web for one and it seems that there is no way to print in black and white only. The grayscale option uses all the colours including black to print.
I have gone through a ton of colour ink just printing black and white documents. Its cost me a fortune and I've worked out that I can get it done cheaper by going to the print shop.
As far as I am concerned this unbelievable. A printer that doesn't give you the option to print using black ink only! And its not advertised or made known in any way. You have to buy the product and then find out later that it does not have a black and white print option. It seems there are a lot of people out there that are unhappy about this, and the "problem" seems to go quite far back. Why haven't Canon responded by adding this feature?! I wont say it here, but I think it must be obvious. Brings to mind the story of housecleaning product manufacturers that increase the size of the closures so that consumers will use more of the product, which is actually wasteful, so as to increase the purchase cycle.
This leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm flogging mine now, and I am done with Canon for good!

Solution for printing black and white in acrobat

Hi,
Here was the problem :
I was trying to convert my colored pdf file to black and white but nothing was working. Others were having the same problem too (such as http://adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5454d ) and the topic was already archived so I could not post the reply.
I tried also to print as black (as it can be found at the bottom of the print button in the acrobat 8 ) but it just made my whole document black.
So, the solution
TO convert your color pdf to black and white and save it as black and white pdf do the following (I am using acrobat 8 )
1. GO to file > Print
2. Choose pdf from the printer
3. At the very bottom there is a button called "advanced" in the middle of "printing tips" and "summarize comments". Click the advanced button
4. In the advanced option, under output - there is an option called color and the next to it is written "composite"
Change it to "composite gray"
5. press ok and it brings you back to the main printing window
6. Now if you press ok it prints your file to black and white.
Hope this will help some people.

My biggest challenge is printing pdfs of schematic diagrams where color is used to signify "layers" in a drawing. Hardest one to read is "yellow" on white for lines or text.
I found a solution, however it may apply to my specific printer only (Sharp MX-2300N).
From the print dialog, select "Properties" next to the printer name.
From the priter properties popup, select the "Main" tab, and check "Black and White print".
From the "Color" tab, make these selections:
Color Mode: Select "black and white"
Color Adjustment: Check "Text to Black"
Color Adjustment: Check "Vector to Black"
Other printers may have similar configuration options.

Watching Movies: iPod to TV- black and white and split screen. Help?

I have this cable: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2994604
As you can see, the chord colors on that cable are red, green, and white. The places where the chords go in on my DVD player are yellow, red, and white. As you can tell, they don't go up. I connected them so the audio works fine, but the movie shows up ONLY in black and white, and the screen is split right down the middle. On my iPod, the 'Video Setting' do not fix this. I also have the iPod Classic 80 GB, for reference.
Help?

Toggle between PAL and NTSC on video setting.

My iPod connects to my TV just fine, but it only plays in black and white,

i can connect it and get it to play videos, but it will only play in black and white. i know the videos are color, but none is coming up. any ideas on problems or ways to fix it?

So just the three RCA jack type, one side into your iPod's headphone jack and then Video and L&R Audio RCA plugs at the other end?
Did you check your iPod's video settings to make sure you are not sending out PAL when you want NTSC or sending out NTSC when you want PAL?

Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

Why do ipods come in many awesome colors and iphones only come in black and white?

The only answer is because that's what Apple decided. No one here knows any more than that.
You should put a case on it anyway so buy one in the color you want.

iPod displays a sad iPod icon
Resolution
In most cases, the sad iPod icon indicates a hardware issue. If you are able to force iPod into Disk Mode, then it may not be a hardware issue, and you should try to restore your iPod with the latest software.

Many small black and white dots on LCD

I bought macbook pro 2 months ago, the 2.33 ghz core 2 duo wid 2 gig ram and ATi Radeon X1600 xt gfx card. Recently i noticed small black and white dots cluttered in one place. The rest of the screen has about 7 - 8 independent dots, I feel as if they are increasing day by day. Is there any permanent solution to this. I contacted the apple support and I'm waiting on their decision.

Thanx, but I think this is more of an hardware problem. Since its on the screen, I tried to take a screenshot, but the dots were not on the image. I have searched many times, it seems many people have this same problem, I think its the dead pixels, but this too much.
