My ipod says its locked but its not! its like frozen ? and i can only turn it on by plugging it into my computer ! everything was fine! It has the locked button on the screen but nothing is wrong with it! And eventually it just turns off and i can't start it again,the battery is CHARGED. and when it is on,it doesn't let me move anywhere!! PLEASE HELP!!

does the switch on the top
have a bright orange
background?

if yes, switch it.
if not, switch it
back && forth a few times.

if that isn't it..
does it say 'do not disconnect'
when you plug it into
the computer?

if not, then you might
wanna go to like best buy
or wherever you got it
and ask them for help.

[..hes going to the dance with this girl.] fjdsjfs. i dono what to do. get over him? blah. vie est belle xx - i/m me there if you want to talk more. thanks so much.

if it were me,
i'd tell my brother.
try and have him hook us up
lol you know what i mean ?

if you're comfortable.
just say,
'i really like andrew.
do you think i'd ever have a chance?'
see what he says about it :]


or have one of your friends ask
him about it?


maybe even be bold
and
a. just tell him how you feel.
b. mmake little gestures.

lika play with his hair..smile at him lots.
grad his hand, flirt a little ;]

I have this assignment for my English class (related to Cyrano, if you've ever read it) where I have to somehow obtain 9 insults.

I've come up with one:

If Vogue ever does an ugly issue, you'd be on the front cover.

I am having a really hard time with these. If anyone can help, please do!

Oh, and no "your mom" jokes, and no fat jokes.

Please help; I've actually put in hours of sitting in front of a blank page.

Thank you!

Okay, so I'm a 14 year old female. There's this guy in one of my classes, and he's a junior. Since the beginning of the year, he has always paid "special attention" to me, like teasing me and stuff. I even recall a while back in October-ish, I was walking in the hallway afterschool, l and he was with his friend, and he stopped to talk to me.
Now, he's always like looking at me in class, especially when I talk to any guys. But I don't know if I'm just imagining the signs or if he teases me just to look cool in front of his friends. Or maybe he's just a friendly guy.

Oh, let me add some more details about us, I guess. I gave him a present over christmas break (it was just a card lol) and he seemed to really like it, he had this big smile on his face. And he's always telling me how nice I look. Also, I'm the girl he talks most to in class (this isn't much though, because there arent a lot of other girls in the class and all the girls are freshmen) I expect HIM to tell ME if he likes me or not, because he's a junior, and if I say no to him (which I wouldnt), it shouldnt be a big blow to his ego. But he keeps on dropping hints that he likes me as something..more. That's where I'm getting confused. Luckily there's a winter formal coming up on the 9th that he can ask me to AND valentine's day 5 days later. Think I should ask him to the dance? (sorry, that turned out much longer than I planned it to).

oh and there was also this time in December, when we had free time in class and him and his friends were talking about THE basketball game of the season, and suddenly the guy turned to me and asked me if I was going. I told him I wasn't, and he asked, "why not?" Of course, me being STUPID and MISSING the hint, I said "i'm kinda busy," when I really wasn't (i was completely and totally free!!), because I was embarassed at being singled out like that. If i were smart i would've said "no, because I can't get a ride". and he mightve invited me to come. sorry it's so long T_T

hmmm sounds like he might be sort of into you :]


does he flirt with you?
in class and out of class?
like, smile at you alot,
get shy around you,
seem kinda nervous around you,
joke about you looking hot or something ;]

and does he talk to you around
his friends AND when he's alone
or just when he's around his friends.

cause if it's just his friends,
he might just be showing off a little =/

have one of your friends ask him
or one of his friends
what he thinks of you.

then depending on what he says,
ask him to the formal, as friends.
or if he would rather
as a date.


hope this helps and good luck

I just got an iTunes Gift card and I have no idea how to use it. I got onto the music store and it says at the back of the card, "click iTunes Music Card" but there's no button for that in the music store.


How do you get the code in? What do you click on first in the store?

+ You go to the iTunes store
+ You click the link that says, 'redeem'
(under quick links at the top right corner)
+ Enter the code
+ Click redeem

It used to be called iTunes music card
but then they chaged to iTunes 7.01,7.0.2, etc.
and now it's just 'redeem'


hope this helps
