Urgent ipod help needed!

earlier today burned some pics onto a cd while ipod was connected to ibook via dock.
ipod started displaying a spinning disk symbol on its screen, and now appears that all music on it has been wiped. when I put it in the dock, spinning disk symbol returns.
All my music is still on itunes on the ibook.
should i restore factory settings? and if so, how do i do it without wiping my itunes library?
the ipod is black and white, no pics, 20 gig and about 2/3 years old.
help!
cheers

There are several things to look at here about iPods not being recognized by a Mac.
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
Try to restore it in disk mode.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Incidentally, you may want to try connecting without the dock. My iPod nano refuses to be recognized via the dock but is recognized without it (i.e. connecting direct to the cable).

  • Urgent export help needed

    Extremely urgent help needed! I'm on a tight deadline. I'm working on a sequence, with all my settings set to DV. My client needs an AVI file as an output. After exporting using conversion, the file looks and plays fine, except for any transitions. At the start of each transition, there is 1 frame that is unrendered. I have rendered the entire sequence, and tried the export many times now, and I can't figure out what's wrong. I'm working on v5.1.4. Can someone please help?????

    Thank you, kind sir! < </div>

  • Major Ipod help needed

    All right, one day, a few months ago, my sister lost her nano and found it the next day in a puddle beside her car. When she tried her iPod, it was acting a bit erratic, and barely worked. You could only listen to it on an iHome, but the wheel didn't work, sometimes the screen would lock up, it wouldn't accept a charge from the iHome, her laptop, nor our computer, it wouldn't show up on iTunes, and sometimes it would just flat out not work. Only last night was when she decided to throw it away. Being the pack rat and electronics fiddler I am, I took it, hooked it up, and it worked pretty well on my iHome, the wheel worked, songs played well, but it still wouldn't charge, and the date and times were reset. When I removed the iPod, it would go a bit crazy before it shut itself off, and when I plugged it into a computer the iPod screen says "Please wait...very low battery" but it will stay like that until you unplug it. and now to finally get to what I'm asking, I've tried any logical troubleshooting, but nothing worked, is my only other option to send it into Apple? and if so, how much do you think it would cost to have them repair it?

    Seems the iPod Nano does not get charged - battery problem?
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk

    Hi Prasad,
    if you have performance problems with your table because of lots of different controls in it, then maybe you could try instead of that to create two tables, one for display of rows  (only textviews), and the other table for editing only one row (currently selected row). The second (for edit) table can be shown only when you want to add a new row, or edit selected row and it can be hidden when you are finished with editing selected row.
    In that way you can have one big table with only textviews and no events, and one small - one row table for editing with dropdowns, datepickers etc.
    You can put EditTable(the one for editing) above ShowTable (the one in which you display rows as textviews).
    ie.
    EditTable
    ShowTable
    Hope that helps,
    Ladislav

  • IPod Help needed from serious Apple gurus - iPod Touch 2g 16g stuck in restart loop. Will NOT enter DFU or recovery mode, NOT recognized by iTunes on Windows or Mac

    Ok, so here's the not so sad story. I bought an iPod Touch 2g 16g through Ebay - so forget warranties. Luckily I did not pay much. The description said it was stuck on the apple logo, so I figured it would be an easy put into recovery mode and restore problem.
    Not so much.
    If you plug the iPod in and charge up the battery the LCD will come to life after a while with the apple logo, then it displays the spinning wheel with the apple logo over it. That will last anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes, then the iPod will go blank for a few secs and then start up the cycle all over again.
    As stated, this iPod will NOT enter either DFU or recovery mode and believe me I've tried it several times several different ways with different timings, connected via USB to a Mac, connected to a different Mac running Windows, and connected to just the charger. Nothing. Occasionally the screen might go blank while holding the power and home buttons but nothing else happens and then it starts it's usual cycle again.
    Again, iPod NOT recognized by iTunes on either Mac or Windows side. Since I got off Ebay and seller didn't know much about it, I have no idea if someone tried to jailbreak this or not.
    I will not put much money into this machine. So I guess my question is: does this behavior mean that the motherboard is clearly fried? Are there any software programs that might diagnose what the problem is? Could it be as simple as a fried battery?
    And most importantly, is this iPod simply toast or is there anything anyone can suggest????
    Really any suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated. Seems a shame to just trash an iPod touch that might need a simple fix...
    If it helps matters, I can tinker with iPods somewhat and have torn down and replaced several iPod touch 1g and 2g glass and digitizers with no problems. I'm somewhat software savvy but the whole jailbreak thing is new territory... and I can't really figure out the command in Windows or Mac terminals to list all connected devices so I have no idea if the computer even knows the iPod is there, even if iTunes doesn't. Guess that's it... ummm, please help???

    Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

  • Urgent array help needed! come get some duke points

    this program keeps track of rentals for a shop. Other methods and classes not shown (like Customer, Transaction classes) are also in this program. Every item (created with a constructor in Item class) can hold an array of up to 20 transactions; part of a Transaction object is a rental total, based on a number of rental days * specific rental price for that item rented (backhoe, edger, etc.) If the user presses "t" for total amount of transactions, the following method is called, which calls the getTotalPrice() in another class called Item. My problem here is that even if I enter in transaction amounts, when I press "t", the program just quits, not producing the report and returning me to the main class. I have been over it with the debugger and I am still lost. Below is some selected code; I hope it is sufficient. Please let me know if I need to put up more

    Don't flag your questions as urgent. It's rude. Also don't think that waving with a couple of worthless Dukes is going to get you better/quicker help.
    The reason I respond to your question is because you have explained your problem well and used code tags.
    Try this:class Main {
        public static void main (String[] args) {
            String message = "Enter a rental transaction (x)\nAdd a customer (c)" +
                "\nAdd an item (i)\nReport on a specific item (r)\nReport on total "+
                "dollar amounts of rentals for all items (t)\nReport on total rentals"+

  • Urgent Form Help Needed

    I am trying to fill out a pdf form created by the Government of Canada and when I enter text in to the one of the text fields it does not keep the text there the text field merges with the box above.  The form is available here: http://www.international.gc.ca/development-developpement/assets/pdfs/partners-partenaires/ calls-appels/iyip-psij-form-2014-eng.pdf . The fields I am having the problem with is 1.1 Internship Details which when I put in the answer (1200 words) it half merges with the text box above 1.0 Rationale for Initiative.
    I have downloaded a number of versions of the file (on a number of pcs) and they all have the same problem. There are problems downloading the form in Chrome and some of the other web browsers but the newest version of IE works.  I need to know if I am doing something wrong or if there is a problem with the form itself. I'm using Adobe Reader XI to fill the form and it was created using LiveCycle Forms 9.0. The creator of the form is highly unlikely to offer any assistance unless I can prove the problem is on their end. This is an RFP due tomorrow and my job kinda depends on it. HELP!

    Hi Erin,
    I've downloaded the form and tried to fill it in myself. I'm able to paste in 700 words (just under 4000 characters) without issue, but anything above that produces the error that you describe. So, it seems to me that the form designer may have imposed a limit on how many characters can be entered into that form field.
    I hope that helps....
    Best,
    Sara

  • Urgent Report help needed

    Hi Guru's,
                     I have a query which gives amount of calls for every month.But my requirement is i need to calculate current month calls/lastmonth calls *100.I need suggestion on how to get the last month calls
    for example
                          05.2008                                                  06.2008
    Sevrity        Amount of calls                         Severity   Amount of calls
        2                  500                                         2                  400
    I am able to see in the query like this.But How can i calulate the last month calls to show in my formulae
    Please help,
    Regards
    Srikanth
    Points will be assigned

    Hi Srikant
    Create two structures in key figure side in query.
    one for current month call & second for previous month call then creat a formula as (current month call/previous month call)*100. It will do
    Now if your problem is how to create a key figure for previous month then:
    -> create new structure
    -> Select the desired key figure
    -> take month characteristics & go to its restriction
    -> take Month Characteristics as value range between from month to month
    -> Now drag it into selection panel, then select it & "off set variable" as (month -1)-(month)
    if month characteristics is not there then you can do the same thing with calender day
    -> as for previous month "off set variable" as(calendar day-60)-(calendar day-30)
    -> for current month "off set variable" as(calendar day-30)-(calendar day-1)
    you will get the things done
    Cheers

  • Itunes/ipod help needed!!

    Not sure what the problem is....my ipod has started shutting off by itself when i skip through my songs. I usually have it on shuffle when this happens. Doesnt happen on every song, it can be every 50...100....or 5 songs. It will shut off and then turn back on by itself. I at first thought it was something wrong with the ipod. I then got a brand new ipod and it still does this. Anyone know what the issue could be? Is it itunes maybe? THANKS!!!

    Greetings!
    I recently received an iPod nano, and was experiencing problems of the nature listed in this forum. Last night I stumbled across a solution, and in fact, downloaded 234 files to my iPod this morning!
    I am using a Toshiba Satellite laptop that runs Windows XP Home.
    Here is the solution as I discovered it;
    Concerning Quicktime, I discovered that the laptop was trying to use two installed and runing copies. One for Quicktime, and one for Quicktime for Windows. One is the standalone type, the other is the one that comes with iTunes.
    After downloading iTunes w/Quicktime, un-install Quicktime, and go back and get the stand alone copy, and install that. You should only have ONE iTunes and ONE Quicktime running.
    I am not going to describe the second part of the solution, as it may be slightly different for each OS. Here is the link to the instructions for Windows;
    Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
    Follow the instructions to the letter. In my case, the laptop was already running as 'Normal Startup', so when I followed the instructions, everything worked perfectly, with one exception. While trying to figure out how the iPod/iTunes/Quicktime thing, I had the iPod plugged into the laptop. Don't plug the iPod into the computer until you have learned and are familiar with iTunes.
    A note for those that aren't aware of it, when iPod is plugged into the computer, and the menu choice in iTunes, 'sync ipod' is clicked, iTunes will transfer whatever files are in the iTunes Library to the iPod automatically.I accidently transferred three REGULAR SIZE music files to the iPod, and they took up the entire memory of the iPod. mp3 or similiar is a must! Hope this helps!

  • Urgent Flash help needed; Using Movie Clip Objects

    Hello,
    I am currently trying to design a small flash movie.
    I have a "Movie Clip" object (a short animation) that i wish to act like a static object until a certain frame on the main Timeline.
    Then i want it to play out, at it's own pace, just like normal, until it finishes (no looping)...
    What do i need to put into, and where do i put it?
    So in short, frame 30 of the main animation triggers the clip, whilst the main animation still runs...
    I know very, very minimal AS3... so please, can someone help me?
    A lot of solutions suggest a button, but I don't want to use a button, as it's not interactive - just a movie.
    i just want the damn movie clip to play in the damn movie when it reaches frame 30! it shouldn't be that hard..

    There is most likely no need for any code. And most likely no need for a movieclip even.
    It sounds like you would need a graphic symbol. (You can convert it in the library or you can just change the instance you have placed on stage.)
    First select the symbol on its first keyframe and on the properties panel select the looping options and tell it single frame, first 1.
    Then move along your timeline to where you want the animation to start playing. Add a keyframe. Now select Once, first 1.
    Now it will start playing, you will be able to see it play as you scrub the timeline.
    If you use movieclips and code for this, you won't be able to see them play together as you scrub the timeline.

  • Urgent webcam help needed please

    i didnt know where else to put this post. Anyway i just got a logitech fusion webcam which they sell on the apple store. i plugged it in and set it up. whenever i speak to anyone on skype(its the only one i use). they always say that around every 20 seconds they get a noise their end that sounds like wind noise. ive opened up the sound box in preferences and can see it happening form the noise indicator. but dont know what it is or how to stop it.. any ideas i really need help.. thanks in advance. the webcam by the way has a built in mic and i have the output coming through my speakers. ive also moved the speakers away from the webcam in case of interference but no joy.. please help..

    Hi-
    Checking the Skype forums reveals a concensus that the problem is most likely within the Skype software.
    http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=6b9ae6327268168f5c1291d17df06400&showforum=15
    Some suggest disabling the mic, and using a seperate mic. This is because some believe the hardware combo (camera/mic) over USB is the problem. Others suggest using the macam driver. Others still, claim there was no noise before 2.5. There are even problems with the Windows version, apparently.
    A new Skype for Mac beta was released today- 2.7. You can download it from the following link:
    http://forum.skype.com/index.php?act=announce&f=15&id=38
    Would be adviseable to report the current bug to Skype. Include all system details, software and OS versions. The more people that report the problem, the sooner a fix will come about.

    Leopard has seriously screwed with Mail.
    Somehow while trying to make my .mac emails only appear in Mail and not on the server my .mac account has become Read Only. I can't move mails, delete mails, mark them as read. I can send and receive but nothing else. Mail worked exactly as I wanted it for many years and now it's completely shot.

    Hope someone can help!

    If this helps anyone.
