Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Jessica, this just happened to me too. my ipod died for three days(!!!!) then i (randomly)decided to try it on the third day and boom, it started to work again. to say i was happy (yet apprehensive) would be an understatement.
this isn't that helpful except to say that it's possible not all is lost.

Nope -- I was hoping the battery was just drained, but plugging it in hasn't done anything. Resetting while plugged in, still no response.
Tiggy, that's hopeful. I don't have time to deal with it until Tuesday anyway.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
My iPod has gone completely dead. It was working fine this morning, and now I can't even turn it on. I've tried restarting by holding down Menu and Play/Pause -- no response.
Asking the obvious -- is the little switch set to the lock position? I've made that mistake a couple of times.

Yeah, that was the first thing I checked (because usually that's the problem!)

All is well that ends in pizza.
I... uhhh... dropped a hard drive and now the computer thinks it's not even initialized.
Those HD recovery places are very very expensive.
Have you Norton Utilities? Have you any Norton/Symantec product you can use as an upgrade basis to get Systemworks?
I would suggest trying something like Norton Disk Doctor on the drive, first. There are other drive recovery tools, as well.

Jon, What file system do you have on the drive?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shadowed skin from DVDs shows very red on my TV. I'm pretty sure it's only the DVD player. Is there any point differentially diagnosing? Could it be cables or something fixable?
eta: never mind--I hadn't remembered the unit had its own brightness/contrast/hue/saturation settings.

If you are trying to talk on IM talk and you can hear them or at least get white noise but they can't hear you at all, what is going on?
