This has happened twice....UGH

ok, so a few days ago my ipod started acting weird, skipping songs and flipping really fast through the songs and just not playing all the music that was on it. (Isn't that why I bought it in the first place?). So I tried updating my ipod ( which I do daily to charge it as well ) and then that only made things worse. I tried then resetting holding the menu/play buttons, although for some reason that only chose a playlist and didn't reset the ipod. I held it for at least 30 seconds. So my last option was to restore my ipod. I tried that, it said " firmware update faliure. Disk right failure." So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all my ipod and itunes stuff three times. Now all I get is the folder with the "!" and this is my replacement Ipod since my last one had tthe folder with the "!" couldn't be fixed and I need to know how to fix it without sending my replacement. It's kind of redundant to have to send in a replacement for my replacement. I have only had my replacement for about 7 weeks. I also have only had my ipod's for 6 months. This is getting to be ridiculous. So someone please help and if not, please help me figure out how NOT to have to get a new ipod everytime. This replacement is covered by the original warrantee though right? Anyway any input would be great.

i have the exact same problem as everyone who replied here!!
I CANT STAND ANY APPLE PRODUCT!!!
Over the course of last year I had to have 5 iPod mini's replaced al lbecause of the same reason. I would have expected my iPod to last longer than this. I am not happy at all with my apple product! I WANT TO GET HOLD OF APPLE SO I CAN HAVE A FULL REFUND! I will not be buying any another Apple product ever again! i tried all the steps and bl**dy ways of reseting re formattin all that malarky and now i have given up!! my guarantee has run out and i am not able to order a replacement product! I WANT TO SCREAM!!!
i want to get hold of apple so i can give them a piece of my mind however i always get a recorded message or a person who doesnt speak english talking to me!!!!
if they do not respond i am throwing my ipod in the bin and never ever buying an apple product ever again.
(wow that felt really good!)

Reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset and you'll be able again to put in your password.
Remember that this will reset the passwords for all networks you connected to up to this point.

Possible security problem with my iPhone4, it seems like it has been hacked into and my hotmail, facebook and university accounts (which all have different passwords) and proceed to change my passwords on me. This has happened twice.

I seem to be having security problems with my iPhone4, it seems like someone has hacked into my hotmail, facebook and university accounts (which all have different passwords) and proceed to change my passwords on me. This has happened twice and I have not left my phone unattended at any time that I can recall nor have I accessed these accounts from another source (i.e. computer/laptop) since changing my passwords after the first hacking occurred. Please help.

Anyone else at your university complaining about the same thing? It is more likely someone is stealing passwords by sniffing traffic over the university wifi or with a man-in-the-middle attack or by other means external to your phone. Try a Google search on "steal password" (without quotes) or "steal SSL password" and you'll learn more than you wanted to know about how passwords get stolen.

Hi, beth.lau.gr.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you have been experiencing issues with your iPhone restarting and showing you a blue screen. I wont be able to give you an exact answer as to why this is happening. However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue. This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it

Pictures I've taken are visible on my iPhone but not my camera roll. has happened twice.

Pictures I've taken are visible on my iPhone but not my camera roll. This has happened twice. On a set of pictures taken 11/2/13 and today 11/5/13. Is there a solution for this. This is unacceptable. Now it's not showing any new pictures taken at all.

I'm with you. It doesn't make any sense to me either. However, when I view my pictures as a collection and select it - nothing is there. It is a clear picture.
The problem is that what you originally said, "Pictures I've taken are visible on my iPhone but not my camera roll" , has nothing to do with your actual problem.
Define "clear picture". Do you mean blank image? Are you saying there are no pictures to view, only blank screen where the picture should be?
If so, restore the iOS in iTunes:

For four days I have been unable to open a lot of documents. When I try I get a message "The document "name" could not be opened. You don't have permission. This has happened to an important letter which I corrected four times. My Mac has altered the name

This problem began when I typed in an address http www etc., making one mistake in the address. I corrected it and then tried to copy the address because it was long (I wanted to be able to acces it another time), and that's when the trouble starrted. I just copt documents to get a new one because it's quicker, but it is unorthodox, I know. Since then whenever I copy a document i cannot open it, and it often puts a gobledegook ending to the document name. I've started emailing texts to myself so as to keep them, but I MUST be able to use documents normally. I hava a MacBook Pro, using OS Mountain Lion 10.8.5. I don't like it. It's fairly new, and has messed up my system of documents : the size is alll wrong and the tabulations are worse than ever. I use text edit because I wanted to use Macdictate because I am handicapped (arthritis and firbomyalgia) but I have never been able to get it to work. Since I changed OS I cannot use Text edit properly any more. Please help me. I think it must be a bug that came through when I was putting this address in four days ago. I went to the site once I'd corrected the address and it was perfectly normal. I shall ring them today and ask them if this has happened to anyone else. I live in France. Thank you for your advice. Because I am handicapped and I do not dirve, it is very difficult to get to a Mac store. I deleted Mac cloud documents because I don't want to use it and I thought it might solve the problem, but it didn"t.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Error when I try to open Firefox. Says Firefox is running in the background and cannot open. Suggests closing that window or restart system. This has happened several times recently. I reinstalled but am still getting the error. Any thoughts?

I am getting an Error when I try to open Firefox that Says Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. This has happened several times recently. I deinstalld and reinstalled but am still getting the error.

This happens to me as well. However, I have a shortcut on my desktop as well as my quick start bar. When this has happened to me, I can usually log back in without restarting, by using the shortcut on the desktop rather than the usual quick start bar.
I know this sounds weird, but it has worked for me about 80% of the time.

How do I ensure mail is sent from the correct email account? I have two set up on my iPad, and it seems to choose which one to use somewhat randomly. This has happened both when using Mail and when emailing form another app.

I have two email accounts set up on my iPad -- one I use & one I monitor for a disabled person. On several occasions, mail I have composed and sent from my email account was sent showing the other account as the sender. This has happened both from within Mail and when emailing from other apps, such as Safari, Photos, etc. Any idea what is going on and how to prevent this from happening?

Are you confirming your POP account is selected as the sending email account before the message is sent?
And regardless if the email is a new email or is replying to or forwarding an email received by the POP account and cofirming the POP acconut is selected as the sending email account, the message is sent by the Gmail account?
All message sent by the POP account are sent by the Gmail account?
If so, delete the Gmail account from your iPad and test if a message sent with your POP account which will be the only email account available with the iPad's Mail app is recieved from your POP account/address.
If not, something else is wrong or on play that has nothing to do with the iPad.

ITunes 10.2.1.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 when I try to sync it. This has happened suddenly. Please help.

iTunes 10.2.1.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4 when I try to sync it. This has happened suddenly. Please help.

I recently installed IOS 4.3.2. and ITunes 10.2.2 on my 64 Bit Vista PC. Since upgrading the IOS on any of my devices, none of them are recognized in iTunes. The computer recognizes them in My Computer but not in iTunes. Apple support pointed me to http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US which directs you to uninstall/reinstall iTunes and all related programs. That has not solved the problem. The only guidance I have been given is from a tech at the Apple store who mentioned that there might be issues with the drivers in Vista. I have not been able to find any help with solving that issue. Does anybody have any thoughts.

Problems after downloading the lastest version of iTunes for my iPod Touch. Now whenever I switch on my laptop and access the internet I get an error message. 2nd time this has happened and I'm fed up trying to fix it. Anybody having similar problems?

I've downloaded iTunes 10.5 onto my iPod Touch, no problems but I've now got a constant error message on my laptop everytime I switch it on and access the internet. The message is "The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll"
This is the 2nd time this has happened. Last time iTunes Support called and we ran through a load of checks to no avail. The only option was to delete iTunes completely off my laptop and go for a new download of it. Can anybody tell me how to do it - didn't write it down last time, silly me, never thought it would happen again. Also sent an email to iTunes Support - waiting for a response.

Maybe:

Also I requested that your email address be deleted. Personal responses are not given in this forum

When I attempt to import some regular, commercial CD's, iTunes returns the message "The song names for this CD could not be found online. Do you still want to import the songs?" This has happened for four CD's in a row now, Eagles - Hotel California.

Hi All,
When I attempt to import some regular, commercial CD's, iTunes returns the message "The song names for this CD could not be found online. Do you still want to import the songs?" This has happened for four CD's in a row now. Today, after importing some other CD's in the regular way, all of a sudden, iTunes won't recognize the Eagles - "Hotel California" CD, the Eagles "**** Freezes Over" CD, "The Best of Roy Orbison" or "Milestones" by Miles Davis.
What happened? Anybody know?

We've gotten the same error at the same time. I guess we need to let this play out. In the meantime, I'm gonna update iTunes.

I have tried to download a movie via iTunes. Every time the download nears the end, it stops and restarts from the beginning. This has happened 5 times. Any solutions?

I have tried to download a movie via iTunes. Every time the download nears the end, it stops and restarts from the beginning. This has happened 5 times. How can I clear the download or solve this?

If it is a HD movie, it may not be enough. The iPad also need working space.
Try download to iTune (computer) and "Move" to iPad.

Itunes locks up my computer every time I try to start it. This has happened with the last few updates so I have not used it.
