Zen Touch wont shutdown and everytime i reset it its stuck on a screen that says 'Firmware Probl
Hi, i searched the forum but theres a lot to look through and i couldnt see a problem like mine, but if this has already been mentioned then if someone could link me that would be great.
Basicly I own a Creative Zen Touch MP3 player and its been working well until today when for some reason, when adding songs to a playlist in Creative Jukebox i got a message saying it could not add the songs. I shutdown the programme, restarted it and the same happened. I shutdown the programme, disconnected the player and got a 'playback' error everytime i tried to play a song. I reset the player but now it just goes to a screen with a picture of a computer screeny box thing and says 'Firmware Problem', i cant shut it down in this state and it isnt detected by the computer so i cant install any new firmware or drivers etc. Im not sure what firmware version i have (how do i find out) but if it helps i bought the player on the 22/0/2004 and havent updated anything for it as of yet.
Any help would be really apprieciated. Thanks.
Loz

My Ipod Touch Is Stuck On A Screen That Says Ios 6 And I Have Tried Numerous Times To Reset It And It Still Is Stuck On The Screen...I Don't Know What To Do!
Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If necessary:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete. I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either. How do I get this draft to disappear?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Go back to mail and see if it is fixed. -

Hi Bev076,
I would try these ideas first:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that doesn't resolve the situation, I would suggest reporting it:

Take care,

The power went out and when it came back on, my computer seemed fine. I was able to access the internet through Firefox as usual. However, if I closed my session and tried to reopen it, it would say that there was already a session open and that I would have to close it before trying again. I would have to go to the task manager and find Firefox in the list of processes and end the process in order to get back to the internet. I have tried restarting my computer twice. What could be the problem?
Try to wait a bit longer before reopening Firefox to give Firefox more time to close completely.<br />
You can also try to use Firefox/File > Exit to close Firefox.
See "Hang at exit":

When I open my computer and sign in with my password it opens and says setting up your Mac. But from here it never goes forward and even if I restart I cannot get computer to open
This sounds more like a Windows question, than a Firefox question. When you say that an image shows up every time you open your computer, do you mean every time you turn on your computer, or every time you start Firefox?

my 3g fell in toilet thursday, dried out and worked yesterday, now its stuck on a screen that says emergency call. wont connect to itunes, doesnt change when turned off or plugged in, any ideas
If you are eligible for a discounted upgrade through your carrier, this would be a great time to consider it. The phone is most probably permanently damaged.

i reset my ipod touch 5th generation and i just reset my apple id and password and it wont let me activate my ipod. I need help!!
What happens when you try? Error message?
To activate you have to enter the ID and password last used for Settings>iCloud. In most cases the Apple ID is used for Settings>iCloud but not always.
If problems contact iTunes
