What does this thing do??

Ok stupid question. what is that white piece of plastic that comes with your iPod. It looks like it connects to a dock or something... im stumped

That's practical, but not nearly as useful as using it to throw at your mother when she locks the car door with your school books inside; the bus is about to leave.

  • What does this thing mean next to all my music?

    It is next to all 192 of my songs I uploaded (that used to work until the IOS 7 update but no longer work)

    It means there's a problem with those episodes. Click on the i for an error message. It can for example mean that the author has moved or deleted the media files but they are still listed in the feed.

  • What does this component do? ipod nano 1g

    Hi,
    i've had to disassemble my iPod nano 1G at some point because it came into contact with water.
    I cleaned it up and it worked fine aside from the adhesive on some of the tapes on the inside being less sticky.
    The circled component in the picture came off and I glued it back on. After replacing the battery yesterday I found that the same component lay on my carpet this morning, yet the iPod has been working without flaws thus far. So I'm wondering: What does this thing actually do and should I bother putting it back in?
    Also, it seems that not all 1G iPods have this component. The component itself seems to be a type of electric jumper.
    I'm aware that this is not the most critical issue. I'm curious though, so if anyone could provide some info on the purpose (or respectively the effect of the removal) of this component I'd very much appreciate it. =)
    Have a good day!

    +In the yellow rectange box it says "Downloading 2 items", and there's a little arrow in a grey circle on the left hand side.+
    All I see is a little gray circle with an X to the right.
    Click on your ipod's name in the source list on the left, and it might tell you the sync status instead of the download status.
    Frankly, itunes is so darn fussy, I can't say I've downloaded and synced an ipod at the same time.
    I think you're flirting with disaster ; )

  • I bought the iPhone 4s and my battery used to reach 32% and then the phone would shut off. Then it reached 46% and the same thing happens, and now it shuts off at 53%. And it start recharging from the percentage it shut off at. What does this mean?

    What does this mean?

    My iphone 4s just developed a similar problem.  Ultimately, after a visit to the Genius Bar at which I was offered a replacement phone for $149, I took the phone to a non-Apple repair shop which diagnosed the problem as tarnished pins in the docking connector and replaced the connector for $49.
    The symptoms I experienced were that the phone would not pull a charge.  I tried different cables, wall outlet versus computer USB connection, etc.  The screen stayed black until I depressed the sleep button, at which time the red battery / lightening bolt symbol would flash three times and then the screen would go black. 
    If your battery is dead, that icon will not show up at all.  If you get the icon, it means your battery is run down and needs to recharge, but the defective docking connector is preventing the battery from taking the charge.

  • My MacBook Pro says: iDisc not mounted, what does this mean???

    I'm trying to acess my iDisc and it's not working.  Message pops up that says "iDisc not mounted", what does this mean?  I can no longer download music or movies from itunes also, because it says startup disc is full.  I've tried to delete items from my computer, still not enough room.  I don't know what to do here.  Maybe I accidentally deleted the iDisc???  Also, the Mobile Me thing isn't working either...it says "an error was returned from the server. check back later."  Guurrrrhhhh!  Somebody please help me....

    You need a bigger Hard Drive, not More Memory (well, you may need that too but it has nothing to do with this problem)
    Buy and fit a bigger hard drive, post back if you need help with that.

  • What does this error2 mean and how do I fix it?

    What does this error mean and how do I fix it?  I am trying to reinstall CS4 on my Windows 8.1 machine. 
    Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
    Error:
    Error 2.
    Here is the initial error: http://s29.postimg.org/wqy2ju8iv/Untitled.png

    I'm stumped.

    Hi there I've just installed CS4 Pro on Windows 7 64bit and got exactly the same result as you. Did you manage to find anything out, because the thing that bothered me was the limited functionality (what ever that is). Is it just a case of Windows 7 having a newer version of ActiveX already installed?

  • I just received my iPad2 today. When I turned it on it only showed a USB cable and the ITunes icon. What does this mean?

    I just received my iPad2 today. When I turned it on it only showed a USB cable and the iTunes icon. What does this mean?

    The first thing that needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer running iTunes (version 10.2 +).

  • I tried to download the latest OSX Mountain Lion and got this notice - "We could not complete your purchase.  The product distribution file could not be verified.  It may be damaged or was not signed. "  What does this mean and why can't I download it?

    I tried to download the latest OSX for my iMac - Mountain Lion.
    This is the message that I received:
    "We could not complete your purchase.  The product distribution file could not be verified.  It may be damaged or was not signed."
    What does this mean?

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
    Hope it helps.

    Interesting ... thank you! Actually I had that external drive, Western Digital, a while back on my second last? or third last? laptop ... the external drive died with a slew of pictures I had carefully uploaded to it  :-(
    I won't worry about it anymore  :-)
    sorry you got only 5 points, can't figure how to give you 10 points.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    fredericlang,
    Your plan sounds good to me, and yes, there could be some "intermittent" hardware failure causing the panics.
    Before we go on, I want to establish that you should NEVER have a panic, provided you have three things:
    1) Flawless hardware
    2) A flawless installation (which is why we are "zeroing" and reinstalling)
    3) No bad or conflicting kernel extension
    To back this up, I will tell you that I have only had one KP on this machine, it was long ago, and it was due to a disk error (and thus a bad installation). Currently, my "uptime" is at 44 days, 13 1/2 hours, and I put this thing through its paces every day.
    OK, well a 4th thing: Problematic peripherals.
    Let's rule these out, one by one. Are you connecting anything that could cause panics, or is anything connected when they occur? No? Let's move on.
    We are pretty sure we have ruled out a bad installation, and you are going to make double sure. Good.
    Are you installing any third-party "haxies," or anything else that might place kernel extensions in the Extensions folder? Are you running the Migration Assistant to transfer stuff from a PPC machine? If you can rule this last one out, we are left with only one possibility...
    HARDWARE! As I say, you should never have a single kernel panic. If you have narrowed it down to hardware, and they still occur, be firm! Insist, regardless of the results of any diagnostics, that you have a new machine, or a logic board/memory replacement. If necessary, escalate your case. Get this fixed, and get it fixed expeditiously.
