Starting up my ipod after letting it sit for a while...

hi.
i just bought a new 30 gig ipod about 2 weeks ago, and lately, at least the past 3 or 4 days, when i've left the ipod off the charger for a while even though it's fully charged or has plenty of battery, it will start up and let me move around to whatever i want, but when i attempt to play a song, it doesn't start. i have to reset the ipod and then it will work. i was wondering if this was a common thing, and if not, what could i do about it? thanks a lot!

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod on its syncing computer via iTunes. For recovery mode seee:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

My 3rd generation ipod touch shut off but now won't charge and is not recognized by my computer. All it shows is the black screen with the apple logo. It did this once before and after letting it sit for a day it charged. I tried this again but nothing.

My ipod touch 3rd generation shut off when the battery died. When i tried to charge it but it would not charge and it wasn't recognized by my laptop. This happened once before and it charged after sitting for a day. So I tried it again but it didn't work. I don't know if it is still covered, I got it last july as a replacement for one that broke. Help!! Please!!

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.

I had spilled soda on Mac keyboard the other day. Dried it as best I could , took battery out Nd hard drive. I let it sit for a little bit and turned it back on and I get a beeping sound. What do I need to do?

That isn't good. The RAM is probably damaged, hopefully not the RAM slots. This article explains why.
Never leave food nor drink near your computer again.

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack

Hi Jack, great help so far!

Fairly new battery not charging after not being used for a while

My computer (Elitebook 2530p) has not been used for a while, perhaps a month or two. The battery used to hold for over 3 hours of light use.
Now, the battery won't charge with the message "0% available (plugged in, not charging)"
I can't find a battery refresh utility in the BIOS, or any way to interact with the battery. Is there something I'm missing? Should the battery just go dead after not being used for a while?
Update: fixed typo

I've run the HP battery check and got the code REOOW. Battery is dead, and I am out of warranty. I can't think of any possible reason why this should have happened.
What does this code (REOOW) mean?

Getting slower by the minute, after reboot speeds up for a while...

I've read a coouple of similar posts, about the macbook getting very slow, but I seem to have almost tried all the solution suggestions.... I've used CleanmyMac hundreds of times, I've rebooted on the installation disk and tried the "disk utility": repair disk thing. I've downloaded ONYX and tried that. I've gotten rid of just about everything ecxept for the absolute minimum (Which tends to make the compter a lot less fun). I have hardly no songs on the actual macbook or images, or video files.... I checked out how much space was being used on the individual folders and found that the mobile applications and the library were using by far the most memory space, so I've cut that down manually to the minimum.
But still, after used the mac for a while it takes like 4 minutes for it to erase a simple text file, or to move one file to another folder, so I have to restart the whole system and then i speeds up again for a while.... but what could the problem be??? I have at least 20% of memory space empty at all times, if not 40%, but it no better..... any ideas??????
thanx fraggles

Hi,
I would first create another user to see if it behaves the same way and test to see if it's something with the computer, or if it's user specific.

How can I use my iPod Touch as a remote for iTunes, while connected via USB?

I was wondering if I could use my iPod touch as a remote/iTunes extension while it is connected to my computer via usb.
It would be highly practical to control my music from there, since it is charging right by my side while I'm at my computer.
Remote is not really an option, my computer doesn't have bluetooth or any connectivity. Something over wifi would work, but there's a usb connection right there that's begging to be used.
Thanks

You can't do it via USB. Go to the App store and download/install the Apple Remote app. It can control iTunes on your computer via wifi.

Mac shortcuts (OSX Yosemite) stop working after Edge Animate runs for a while

When I first open up an Edge animation file all my shortcuts work fine, such as Command-S to save.
After the software has been running for a while all my OSX shortcuts stop working and I have to copy, paste and save from the File menu instead.
When I restart the program it all goes back to normal for a short while and then they stop working again.
Some more info in case it's helpful:
My current project is based around animating SVG shapes (character animation).
I'm running Yosemite OSX.
Adobe Edge 2014.1.1 is the version I'm using
It crashes consistently but pops up a 'save your work' message first. I'd say at least once a day if I don't restart frequently enough.
I restart about every hour or so as I'm working.
My OSX shortcuts work fine in other software such as Photoshop, this is specific to Edge
My hardware is as follows:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro10,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Just putting this up here in case any other Edge users on Mac have noticed anything similar.

Hi Danny,
Thanks for writing to us with your concern. We are sorry to know that you are facing problems while using Adobe Edge Animate.
How often is it happen? Is there any time frame like after 1 hour or 2 hours this issue is occurred?
Can you please try updating your Mac Book 10.10.3?
Please share the result.
Regards,
Devendra

I-Mac shuts down after sitting for a while, why and how can it be fixed?

i Mac shuts down when left for a time in sleep mode. Am I missing something or is this supposed to happen?
It has never happened while anyone is using the computer but that may just be because it often sits over night without use.
Am using a logitech Wave USB keyboard and mouse because my wife likes it.

OK reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Attach the computers power cable.
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
and check all of the power connections.
The iMac's are sensitive to power issues (sag or momentary outage) while in sleep mode. If in the Energy Saver preference "Start up automatically after a power failure" is unchecked (as it should be) then you could/would/should find the iMac off after a power problem.

IPod music screen freezes after not using it for a while.

If I exit the music screen (while a song is still playing) and then return after a while, the screen will be stuck where I left it. It will show the same song even if another one has started and I will have to wait for a few seconds before it finally shows the new one. If anyone has any idea on how to fix it, i would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If problem persists the try a restore from backup
- If it still comes back try a restore to factory defaults/new iPod

Firefox suddenly doesn't let me do anything in websites, and opening new websites becomes impossible. This happens after firefox is open for a while, an hour or so.

Firefox doesn't crash, it just stops allowing me to do things. For isntance, i click on a button, the button depresses, but it doesn't do anything. Firefox doesn't load up the next page, or change at all. The only way to fix this that I could figure out was to close and reopen firefox, but that only works until the problem happens again.

The problem may be caused by an extension; see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]].

Windows 7 and updated firefox window do not load completely . the banner may load or it times out. If I leave it sit for a while it may finish loading. New computer.. cannot figure it out.

I have a new computer with windows 7. I downloaded the mozilla and the update.. now my pages do NOT load completely. the page banner but not the content. or it takes a really long time. When it will not load it say the try again.. and i reload a number of times to get it to load... HELP ME!!
I will include an example below... in the URL blank.
This includes Yahoo and Google...
occasionally it says ...
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

I really need your help. I'm 14.

After using Firefox/Android for a while, it just shows a black screen.

Asus TF701 tablet (with keyboard dock)
After navigating through several sites, Ffox-Android (v.34) displays only a black screen. When I look at the tab thumbnails, however, the sites seem to be rendered. But each time I select a thumbnail. the tab's full display is blacked out.
Help!

Hi ChuckSott
Some questions to help us help you!
# Which websites are causing this problem? A few examples would be grand!
# Does this problem occur in FF35 for Android?
# If you could post a screenshot of the tab's full display being blacked out that would be super helpful
# Have you tried temporarily uninstalling all the add-ons in Tools -> Add-ons? Sometimes add-ons break Firefox!
# Finally what version of Android OS are you using? (ice cream sandwich 4.0, jellybean 4.1-4.3, kitkat 4.4? etc)

Can't switch tty after logged in kde for a while

I get only a black screen with Ctrl+Alt+F1(or 2~6). This happens a while after logged in kde.
I can login and exe commands in those black tty's, there are reactions to "halt" though I couldn't see anything from the screen.
Actually "halt" and "reboot" do not work correctly (they closed everything but don't turn off the power) after tty switching gets broken.
In the first a few minutes logged in kde, everything works fine.
I have tried to reinstall video card drivers, and change different ways of starting kde (in inittab or rc.conf or by hand). The problem is always there.
I haven't used this computer for a long time, so not sure when the problem appeared. All packages are up to date now.
Any ideas about this? Thank you in advance.
