"White Screen" error after most recent update 60 gig video iPod

I just received the most recent iPod updater software. I installed the updater and ran same. After the update process my 60 gig video iPOD cannot be recognized by my MAC G5. It has a "White Screen" and WILL NOT turn off! When I attempt a reset it simply gives me a 2 or 3 tone beep (I've never heard the tone before). The screen goes dark and it reboots to a white screen. I've re-installed updater and iTunes. I've switched USB ports. I've shut down the computer as well as rebooted same. I've allowed the iPOD to fully discharge (which happened quickly since the screen will not blank). When the unit is plugged into the USB port it charges and the white screen reappears. The updater now refuses to see the iPod so I cannot reset to factory defaults. Any ideas?
The idiots at Apple instituted a 24/7 chat tech support line for iPod shuttle owners. The guys like me who paid the big bucks for their best product get stuck out in the cold! Apple's whole tech support schtick is barely one step ahead of Dell's! The charge premium prices for their product and I like Apple a lot, but their demand that you be either an Apple Care customer or .MAC user to get even rudimentary support *****!

Ok, for all the others out who experience this problem....I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple. You have to go to their SECOND level of support to get an answer. But there is a fix.
If you have a white screen and the unit beep 3 times after a reboot here's what you need to do to fix the problem. Warning all you data will be lost. It will have to be downloaded via iTunes again!
Disconnect the iPod from the computer. Hold the Select and Menu button down for about 7 seconds to until you get a beep. Then hold down the Select and PLAY button for 10 seconds. This will put the unit in hard disk mode. Wait awhile until the Apple screen goes away and if you get a progress bar wait until it is gone.
At this point it will take some finagling, but you basically hook the iPod back up to the computer and do a RESTORE. The iPod should be recognized by iPod updater. Your data MAY still be in place, but if you do not do a restore to factory defaults with the updater you will get the white-screen-three-beeps-problem again.
Once you reboot into the language screen you can reconnect the iPOD and download your data from iTunes.
I complained this info SHOULD be posted online. They guy was very nice and agreed but said that engineering was still collecting data. He thought it was a dumb idea not to post online or allow the first level support guys to fix the problem.
Hey Apple...if you read this how about collecting data on your goddamned time and at your expense. You're the SOBs that collected $399 for the product! Ever seen the Comcast or AOL video on YOUTUBE? You guys could be next!

  • Display changed/overscan not working after most recent update

    I'm running my mini through an LG 42" plasma TV using a store-bought HDMI to DVI cable, and I had the resolution at 1344x756.
    After I did the most recent update for what I assume was Leopard 10.5.7, my resolution and colour quality changed. Now with overscan on the picture is cropped and the dock is almost out of view when I hover over it, and with overscan off there is a black gap of about an inch framed around my screen. The only change ocurred after I reset the computer post-update. I tried re-installing the update and messing around with the cable connection to no avail.
    What are the odds that it was the cable? Is there anything you know of to roll back updates? Has this happened to anyone?

    I have exactly the same problem, on a Sony 36". With overscan on, I can't see the menu bar at the top of the screen, and lose a lot of the dock. By turning overscan off, and fiddling the display settings on the TV (altering area to -2) I can get it so it uses up more (tho still not all) of the screen, with all the bars etc.
    I could live with this, however it also seems to have screwed up the res. No matter what setting I use the fonts look fuzzy and hard to read. The tv screen was never quite as crisp as the monitor on our iMac, but I could read an e-mail without feeling nauseous.
    Hoping Apple will fix this....

  • Compiler errors with most recent update

    I just ran the SoftwareUpdate utility and it installed QuickTime 7.1 and Apple Security Update 2006-003. Now when I compile, I get the following errors:
    ld: Undefined symbols:
    _LLCStyleInfoCheckForOpenTypeTables referenced from QuartzCore expected to be defined in ApplicationServices
    _LLCStyleInfoGetUserRunFeatures referenced from QuartzCore expected to be defined in ApplicationServices
    This error used to be "[blahblahblah] referenced from Quicktime epected to be defined in ApplicationServices" not QuartzCore. I looked at /System/Library/Frameworks/QuartzCore.framework/Versions/A/QuartzCore and sure enough, it has a modifcation date of today.
    The previous error was caused what appears to be QuickTime 7.0.4 being developed/compiled on Tiger and then distributed to Panther users like myself via Software Update.
    I can't figure out whether the QuickTime update or the Security Update changed my QuartzCore, but I'm having trouble figuring out a solution to this problem.
    Find a copy of the old QuartzCore framework? Figure out some way to add a dummy library that will define these symbols? Make sure Apple developers compile stuff on Panther when delivering code for Panther? I had to downgrade from Quicktime 7.0.4 to 7.0.1 to compile, which broke my iTunes 6.0.4. Now that won't even help, because the Quicktime 7.0.1 downgrade package doesn't contain QuartzCore.

    I can't compile anymore after the recent update on PowerMac G5 1.8GHz.
    It still works on iBook G4 1GHz.

  • Problems running java after most recent update

    After updating to the latest version of Java via Software Update a few weeks ago, I am unable to run the Java applet I need to run to log onto my scheduling system for my work. We use ClinixMIS software which is web based and appears to load a Java applet when I log in. Before the most recent update I had no problem logging in and I still have no problems logging in on older machines running snow leopord and earlier versions of MacOSX with previous versions of Java. When I called Apple and told them my problem the tech said it was because the version of Java is more advaced than the one Clinix is using. I asked how to go back to an earlier version and I was told I can't do it. When I tried to download and install an earlier version of Java the computer wouldn't let me do it. I am running the latest version of Lion on a 2010 MacBook Pro with a i5 processor. I tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox and nothing worked. Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone run into a similar problem? Clinix has not supported Macs in the past but when I talked to the guy they sent out to help with some other issues we are having he told me they had a "team working on it". That has been their response now for about four weeks.

    Get your IT people to talk to the ClinixMIS software developer and bring it to 2012 standards.

  • After most recent update, Firefox keep hanging intermittently with "Not Responding".

    After the most recent update, my Firefox browser begins to hang intermittently with "Not Responding". I have checked the extensions and plug-in like Java, all of them are the latest updated ones. Everytime I open a new site or click on links to load another page, it happens. Every single time.

    '''is there a solution ''(temporary OR permanent)'' for this problem yet?'''
    i tried '''EVERY possible alternative'''; even when opened in ''''''safe mode'''''' or when installed for the first time w| '''NO addons or ANYthing else''' but the '''original default settings''', still does the same thing.
    mozilla people?? really?? no answer|feedback|suggestions, anything at all from u guys??
    if it isnt a version (browser, OS, addons, etc) issue, what is it that separates us from the users not having the problem?
    this is is very frustrating; h|e it's even more frustrating when there is no response from tech support. is it because there havent been enough people who have reported this same issue so there can be some interest & find a fix; OR is it that u dont know; OR that there is not & will not be any fix?
    we cant continue being users if we cannot use it. it's really my favorite browser, but if it doesn't work & u guys dont have a fix for it, then users w| this same problem wont have any other option but to switch to a different browser permanently.
    really mozilla??? nothing? a reply would be very nice...

  • Adobe Premiere freezing after most recent update

    Hey all,
    I posted in here a while back because I was working with MTS files and seemed to be having an issue out of the blue with my projects freezing, where the video would play, but the cursor and anything I would click or move would not respond.
    I ended up transcoding to Prores and finished the edit. 
    BUT!!!  Even in the prores version this happened again, and I finally tied it to the universal counting leader.  Now I've used this thing many times before with no problems.  But since the most recent update (I'm now running CC v8.1.0) this keeps happening!  If I have the leader in the projects window and the timeline (or just the projects window) it's starts to freeze and behave like this.
    I'm not sure if it's only isolated to the universal counting leader, but if I delete it from my project, save and reopen, everything runs smoothly!
    Anybody have this issue or know why this is happening since the update?
    Thanks.

  • Firefox crash on startup after most recent update?

    Once Firefox installed the most recent update, it will no longer open. It attempts to open, but immediately crashes and the crash report opens. I have tried to uninstall (deleting profile as well) and reinstall, but it continues to crash. This is the most recent version of Firefox, 8.0 I think. Pleeeease help, I hate IE.

    No. None of those are the issues. I had already gone through a lot of the help stuff before I posted this.
    And as I explained earlier, there is no crash ID listed that I can see.

  • Major Flash issues after most recent update

    I recently updated to 12.0.0.70 version of Shockwave flash on FF 27.1 and it has busted my FF installation. I get various errors depending on which site I try to use. Some sites give me a black screen with white fuzz and state "an error has occurred please try again later." On other sites I get a Shockwave script error message and when I click the dialog button to stop FF crashes to desktop
    Disabling ad-ons and running in safe mode did nothing, as well as cleaning profile. I then turned FF Protected mode off using the instructions on the Adobe site. That was a partial fix. It prevents me from getting the Shockwave script errors. However, Flash video play out of sync. It skips around randomly and and sound does not sync with the video. I still get the "an error has occurred please try again later" on they sites where I was getting that error before.
    Per one suggestion on another thread I toyed with the Hardware acceleration feature. It did not fix the problem. I am at a loss as to how to proceed further.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.
    You might also want to try a full RESET by following steps below. Only do these steps if the above fails.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Hope this helps!

  • My iPhone 4S isn't recognized by iTunes after most recent update to iTunes.

    So after updating to the most recent version of iTunes, my iPhone 4s will not sync with iTunes.  Before the update, no problem whatsoever.  It is recognized by my IOS (Windows 7) and I can see it on my control panel but how do I get it to sync?
    Thanks!

    The new iTunes *****! It wasnt able to backup my data too and after restoring I had to Restore with my a month old Backup(Contacts were intact in that). For your problem, Goto Edit>Preferences>Devices, click "Reset Sync Data", Close iTunes and reopen. This might work and if this doesn't than Restart Your PC and Hard reset your iPhone by Pressing Home and Sleep button together(This will just restart your iPhone and won't restore anything) than Sync, else a new update or magic will help you out(if you don't plan to restore your iPhone.

  • Getting disheartened by lack of BB support, big Q10 problems after most recent update!!!

    I am very frustrated and in need of some help.
    I have a Q10 and after the most recent operating system update, multiple things are wrong.
    1. The camera does not work. It makes shutter noise when using the rear facing camera, but does not save any of the pictures.
    2. Will not even let me enable the front facing camera, freezes phone when I try to use it.
    3. Will not let me attach pictures/files to any text message.
    4. Has problem accessing text message conversations that were there prior to update, have had to delete all and start over.
    5. Sends out multiple text messages by its self. resends messages that are days old and jumbles current messages went sent.
    Basically, the phone is not pperating at all like it should. I have on;y had this phone 3 months and after the update, it seems to have ruined it. This is my first BlackBerry in years, I bought it in hopes that they had fixed their previous issues, this doesn't seem to be the case. Was considering upgrading to the Classic, however, I don't think I will unless this gets resolved.
    SOMEONE HELP!!! Thank you in advance.

    There are major problems with the 10.3 update on the Q10.  Many people are downgrading back to 10.2.1 until BB can get their heads out of their arses and fix the issues.

  • Accordion widgets no longer working after most-recent update...

    All of the accordions on my website were functioning until I recently updated my Adobe Muse CC and re-uploaded the files to the FTP.  All of the tabs used to be closed by default, then when clicked they would expand and all the other tabs below the expanded would automatically move down and up as the tabs open/close.  Now it seems like when you open a tab it overlays the other headings and the open tab's heading disappears?
    You can see an example here:

  • After most recent update (3.6.10) cannot connect to internet via any browser or application (Windows Vista)

    I recently updated Firefox to 3.6.10 on a Windows Vista machine and have been unable to connect to the internet with any application since. Any help you can provide would be graciously appreciated.
    Upon receiving the "Firefox has updated and needs to restart" message, I continued to browse the internet for a period of time. When I finished what I was doing, I restarted the browser. When it came back up, it failed to connect to the internet. Signal strength from wireless network is "Very Good" and indicates that I am connected to the internet. I have tried the following with no success:
    - Attempted to connect to internet with Internet Explorer
    - Restarted the machine
    - Disabled Windows firewall
    - Checked that Internet Options settings had not changed
    - Connected to different wireless networks
    After each of the above, I tried to connect with IE and Firefox.
    As an amateur it seems that this isn't a Firefox problem, but I have to assume since the connection was good immediately before restarting the program and the completely inoperative after restarting, that it has something to do with the installation. Thank you very much for your time.
    Reed

    PROBLEM SOLVED:
    In Internet Options under Connections > Settings, "Use system settings" was selected. Changing the selection to "Automatically detect proxy settings for this network" in connection settings allowed all applications to connect to the internet.
    Why "System settings" continues to work on my XP system after the update and why it worked on the Vista system before the update but not after the update is a mystery... but as long as it works, who cares

  • Graphics performance worse after most recent update

    I just ran the most recent MacBook Pro update and now my graphics performance in WoW is terrible. It has rendered the game unplayable. It's probably a good thing, mind you, because I spend too much time playing anyway. But still, it shouldn't have made performance worse.
    Any way to go back or fix this problem?
    Thanks!

    I sent an email to Blizzard last night, but I wouldn't expect a reply or a patch for a while. I'll keep everyone posted.
    Unfortunately, I think the only way to go back to the previous drivers would involve re-installing the system from the disks that came with the machine, then doing every update save the last one. Sounds like a pain. I'll probably just wait for a Blizzard patch and get some more work done in the meantime, now that WoW is out of the picture!
    Are you going to send a bug report to Blizzard. They'll probably jump on it more quickly if a few of us step up. . .
    Gotta get that WoW fix. . .
