Weird things with my ipod

I've been having a lot of problems with my iPOD. Whenever I reset it, because sometimes it freezes, it stays on the Apple logo for a little bit. Then a dead ipod image appears and then the apple support web site comes up. I'm not really sure what to do. I've tried resetting it a lot and nothing seems to work.

Try this Hard Reset, (it wont delete any song or data on your iPod), from time to time to clear the cache.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If it doesn't work, bring it in to Apple Store for the Genius to have a look.
Good Luck!

Weird Problem With My Ipod. Can you help?

I'm having a weird problem with my ipod and I hope someone here can help. I have a Nano, 4 GB. I got it back in June, so I haven't even had it 6 months yet. Ever since I "updated" the software, it hasn't worked right. It kept freezing on me and saying I had no songs on it. Finally when I reset it through iTunes and loaded brand new songs in it, it froze half way loading. I loaded it for a 3rd time and now it's making a weird alarm sound for no apparant reason. The buttons are stuck and I can't shut it off. It just keeps making this sound and it won't stop. When I reset it by holding menu & select, it resets, is fine for about 20 seconds, then starts back with this alarm. Is there anyone that can help me with this?

Mine was the similar condition.
When I reset iPod nano by holding menu & select, it resets, is fine for about 20 seconds, then starts back to the screen of black and white state.
It keeps endless loop.
It happened on the way of iPod nano firmware update to 1.1.1. from 1.0.2.
Instead of completing firmware updated, the above symptom happend in my case.
I could exit the above condition by pressing both of SELECT &
PLAY button 5-10 seconds long.
It manually change DISK Mode.
The following subject was useful for me.

Very weird problem with my iPod

I have a 4th generation 40 GB iPod. I have a strange problem happening with my iPod. After it is fully charged I can use my iPod no problems, after what seams a random amount of time the screen seams to freeze and go pixely. The music plays fine but I can't go through any menus. After the battery dies I charge it and the screen is working again fine.
Any ideas on why and how this happens would be great!

dk07, glad to know I'm not the only one having this problem. I hope you can get it figured out as well. It is very frustrating.
Jeff, I appreciate the links, but I've been over those first two quite a few times, with no success. The last one is a bit more interesting though.
I guess what I mean to ask is; Is it possible that my iPod is actually charging all the way, even if I never get a "plug" icon and the bar never goes above 3/4 on the battery indicator, no matter how long I charge it? Can the battery indicator be 'that' off? I have yet to run into a help topic or tutorial that addresses specifically an iPod (with a brand new battery) never switching to the plug icon or never going beyond a 3/4 bar. I am willing to accept that the battery indicator may be inaccurate as to the actual charge, but the specific issues seem not to be as common as the general one; and that is what bugs me.

Weird things with mini

My mini started acting up about a week and a half ago. First it got disconnected from my comupter without being ejected and all the songs got deleted. The next time I tried to turn it on, I got the sad ipod picture followed by a battery picture. The sad ipod is still there but the battery picture is gone now. Plus, when I try to turn it on it starts making this weird clicking noise. I've tried to manually do the disc thing or whatever it's called, and it didn't work. Normally, I would just drop it off to a repair shop, but the nearest one is in another city. Any suggestions???
P.s. a week before all this it locked up one day. came back on after the batter drained.
ipod mini

I'll cut to the chase: the clicking hard-drive noise means your disk is done. You can either replace the CF microdrive, or buy a new iPod (assuming you're out of warranty). Since I like the Mini design, I decided to do the former; checkout the article I wrote about my experience.

Album art doing weird things with iTunes 7.3.1.3

About a week after I got this version, all my music got deleted somehow. I've added it all back, but album art is screwy. Sometimes it only shows a black square where the art should be. Other times it won't change the art to what I want it to be. These things happen regardless of whether I change many songs at once or one at a time. Is there a patch or something? I don't want to restore the iPod again...it takes way too long to rename all my songs and put them in specific playlists!!

Hi blob2,
Although it may not be the solution to your problem, there's been a new version of iTunes that was released a few days ago, which may provide some sort of help with this issue for you.
The latest version is 7.3.2.6, and can be downloaded from Apple's website, here:
Download iTunes - 7.3.2.6
By the way, does this happen when you're trying to view the album art on your iPod, or does this just happen with your iTunes library?

Doing weird things with dataTipFormatFunction

OK, so here's my little problem:
I need to have a slider that spans a significant range of
values. The range (if we're talking units of time) goes from one
year all the way down to one second, with the difference between,
say, five and ten seconds being about as significant as the
difference between five and ten months.
"Aha!" I cried to myself. "That just means that I need to use
some of that fancy-dancy mathematics stuff that I learned in that
big brick building I went to once!"
And indeed, that's what I did: I put together a new component
by just inheriting from VSlider and tacking on some methods to
process slider.value as the input to a logarithmic scale. It's
pretty cool, too. All I do is bind to my slider.time property and
boom! I've got a slider that goes from a year to a second, with the
user being able to make fine-grained adjustments easily.
The only snafu popped up (quite literally) with the data tip,
which still showed slider.value. Kinda broke the illusion. No
problem: I just replaced dataTipFormatFunction with a function that
discarded the old slider.value-based string and returned a new one
based on my slider.time property. It even formatted it nicely,
switching units from seconds to minutes to hours to days to months.
But there's one last niggling problem. If I'm dragging the
slider along with the data tip showing and a neighboring text field
bound to slider.time, I get two different outputs. Dragging up the
scale, for example, my bound text field will say six seconds, while
the data tip still shows five. Releasing the thumb and clicking on
it again at that point will show the data tip at six seconds,
leading me to believe the following:
1) The string with which dataTipFormatFunction() is called is
based on the change event, *not* the slider.value, and
2) dataTipFormatFunction() is getting called *before* the
slider.value is assigned the new value.
So first, is that a fair conclusion? Since my custom data tip
function discards the old string and builds the new one based on a
function that accesses slider.value, it seems like a reasonable
guess.
Second, anybody have any suggestions? I see two alternatives
right now: disable data tips, or extract the number from the
original string and pass it into a method that will re-scale it.
The second option is just kinda kludgy, so I'll probably just kill
the data tips, but I do like having the pop-up feedback available
while the user is making fine-grained adjustments.
Any other approaches? Am I missing something? Should I have
gone into podiatry like my mother wanted?

Weird Thing With Exporting As Quicktime Movie

Ok, so this has been happening for months now, but I didn't really think anything of it until now. Whenever I export a movie as a Quicktime Movie, it exports it as 2 files, the regular movie file, and the same file with "-av1" behind it. The second part has to be there in order for it to play. What's stranger is that when I put them into a folder, the movie no longer plays properly. What is up with this?

I have just experienced the -av1 phenomena for the first time.
I have been exporting to QT movies regularly using the same internal and external drives for months - no changes, no incorrect formatting. I have used those exported movies to create One-Step DVDs in iDVD for display and distribution. This -av1 file thing is keeping me from doing that.
The only diff with this project (and, in fact, it's a new Sequence in a Project that has successfully been exported (without the companion file)) is that this sequence had .aiff music files some of which were from iTunes (downloaded/protected).
I thought that might be the problem, so I created mp3s (by burning to disk and re-importing) and replaced the aiff's in the timeline - it still insisted on creating -av1 files with the QT Movie.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

REALLY cool and weird thing with the room light and Apple IR receiver

I don't know if that has already been reported here or if it happens with other people. When running vista, I turn off the room's light and don't touch mac until the screen turns off. If I turn the light back on, vista automatically turns on mac's screen too... It's kinda creepy sometimes, but it's cool! I know it's related with the IR receiver, but shouldn't it recognize only Apple IR Remote's commands?

You may see apps in the new App Store that will accomplish what you're looking for.

K9A2 Platiunum - 'weird' things with Network and USB are happening...

Hi All,
My System specs are:
MSI K9A2 Platinum MB
OCZ Technology 2x2GB 240DIMM PC2-6400 Gold running at 2.2V
AMD Phenom 9500
2 x Samsung SATA DVD Writer SH-203B/BEBN
GeForce 8800GTX 768MB PCIE DVI
Coolermaster Cosmos case
Seagate 320GB SATA2 HDD ST3320620AS
OCZ 1010 GameXstream PSU
OS: Vista Home Premium 64
It was quite a task getting this machine working in the first place (see my previous threads) but I have a residual issue here that I would like to put to you and see if anyone has any ideas:
1) I noted that there seems to be something 'wrong' with my Network connection as a) my internet was very unstable on this machine ("no cable plugged in / no connection" messages) from time to time. No pattern detectable, seems to have "gone away" now; and b) my Belkin F5D7235-4 router gives me an 'amber' status light, instead of green, for the connection to the above machine. I changed the port at the router and also changed the network cable to a new one - the status light remains on amber.
Interestingly, the status light changes to amber only once the start-up process of the PC has progressed, it is 'green' when the PC is switched off.
2) A function of the above problem seems to be that I cannot get a network with my 2nd machine (XP SP2 based) going. I applied the patch that has to be applied when XP SP2 and Vista machines are in the same network. The two PC's saw each other once - and then never again.
3) Had a friend over and wanted to transfer 160GB from my external WD 1TB drive (connected through Firewire 800 to the K9A2 based machine) to his laptop via USB2.0, using my Vista / MSI K9A2 Platinum based machine (specs above). After minutes of calculating the estimated time remaining it came back to me with around "5 days 7 hours remaining". Cancelled and then used my XP SP2 based machine to perform the same task and I got "1 hour, 10 minutes remaining" and it actually got done done in that time.
Summary: I am asking myself if I have something set-up just completely the wrong way in my MSI K9A2 Plat based machine on the BIOS level regarding the on-board network card. If yes, what could that be? But then, on top, why is this really slow USB2.0 thing happening??
I am grateful for any ideas as I feel that I have not been able to get the top performance out of my PC yet.
Thanks to all of you for some thoughts...

Upgrade? Fresh installation on a newly formatted disk is to prefer.
This is little beside the point, but when installing Windows I use as little hardware as possible. It is much easier to add things afterwards than troubleshooting a complex coordination of things.

I'm having a really weird problem with my iPod..

There's a blank white screen on my ipod (3rd gen.) and I have no idea why. I plugged my ipod into my XBOX 360 to listen to my music through there and everything was going good. But when I turned off my XBOX, it said "Ok to disconnect" on my ipod screen, I turned off my ipod, but I didn't unplug it from my XBOX. A few minutes later, I saw the screen light up white and it's been there ever since and I really can't figure out why. I've tried turning it back off and it won't even turn off. I tried turning my XBOX back on to see if that would work and didn't. I also tried plugging it into my computer and now my computer won't even reconize it. It won't open up iTunes or anything and the screen just stays white. I can't turn it off or anything. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with it? Any ideas on how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
For me this one seems like a hardware issue. However you may try the following steps first before you could send them for service.
1. Toggle the hold switch for 10 times and then do a reset.
2. Try following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363 to place the iPod in disc mode and then try connecting to computer.
3. If it is getting recognized in iTunes, do a restore and then use the iPod.
4. If not take it for service.

Weird thing with charger

So I was letting my MBP cycle through with its battery as I always do. I was down to like 4 percent, and I got the message to plug in my charger. When I did, nothing happened. There was no red light, just a dim green one, and it said my computer wasn't charging and that it was running on the magsafe power. I closed my computer and let the battery run out. When I did, I plugged the charger back in and it started charging. Then when I unplugged it, and plugged it back in, nothing happened. Any one know what's up with this?

Hold the CONTROL COMMAND POWER keys for several seconds.

Weird thing with Follow up Transaction

Hi All
I am having a problem with a follow up transaction, in that the texts for the follow up can not be maintained until I do a save.
I have enhanced component ICCMP_BTSHEAD.
I placed a button on the view called "create action". When this is clicked I create a follow up transaction and then navigate to the follow up transaction.
My problem is with the Notes view on this screen.
The drop down is populated with the correct note types. There are two notes relating to my follow. If I enter a text in the first note, then select the second note and enter text and then select the first note again, the text from the first note is gone and I have to enter it again.
Anyone come accross this issue?
Any suggestions as to how to fix it ?
Is this because I am navigating to the same component when I create the follow up.
Any help would be great.

Weird thing with capturing DV and square pixals

Hiya,
How come when I capture DV and play the capture scratch file in QT its 768 x 576
but then I export the file as a quicktime movie its 720 x 576?
I know its something to do with square pixals but why does it change it and is there a way so I can watch back exported quicktime movies in the correct aspect ratio ?

Are they tapes you shot? Could they be PAL? Sometime PAL or a tape recorded in a non-standard speed will only show up fuzzy in FF. Not sure if 8mm had an LP speed and whether all Hi-8 camcorders will play that back.

Weird things with Screen-Recording

I have tried useing quick time on my mac to make game play videos, but whenever I go into full screen mode for the game the final video shows up in the top corner of the screen and the rest of the screen is taken up by the streched out edges of my video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKKGON0PCqY
Above is a link to an example of what is happening.

I have several users that suffer from this problem. The solution, as
always, is to move the contents of the mailbox to a temp folder then
back.
When the problem occurs, put the GWIA in debug and watch the messages.
It appears that GWIA is returning an infinite (continuous) number of
message id's.

Nothing weird about it at all.
That's not the syntax of a catch block. What you've written there will only work in an import statement.
What you probably mean to catch is java.io.IOException.
