Hey. So my iPod is being sooooo stupid! I'm so mad right now! please help!! so, I was just listening to it earlier and it was fine! and it was almost fully charged! so i pluged it in to add songs and itunes pulls up and it starts asking me all these weird questions about restarting my iPod, but if I restart it I'll loose all of my songs. So I clicked not right now and it says that it's sinking games. But I didn't want it to do that, so I clicked the x button at the top to stop. But then my iPod didn't say "Do not disconect" the screen just went blank. So I unpluged it,and now all it is doing is nothing. It just has a white screen. I can't do anything. And when I plug it in, it doesn't even say that its pluged in. And when I do the thing where you click the hold button back and forth and then hold down the menu button and the middle button, it makes the weird noise, kinda like a song or something. It's not long though, just about 3-5 seconds. So please! Tell me what to do!!! all i want to do is add songs! does it need some new kind of batteries or something?? and if so, where can i get them? pleaseeeeeee help!! thanks!

Restore your iPod (you called it restart, but iTunes says "Restore"). If you have all of the music on your computer, you can just put to the music back on the iPod. (if you don't have all the music on your computer, I suggest you get it before restoring your iPod.

Or, maybe you need to re-install iTunes.

Oh, and try holding the menu and middle button down longer. My brother has to hold them down for about 30 seconds before his iPod restarts.

If you've searched through the Apple website and the the internet enough, and yet your iPod still messes up, maybe it's time to get a new iPod! I don't recommend the newest iPod Nanos (the ones with video), because they're glitchy. But I'm guessing you like the video feature, so maybe you would like the new iPod Nano, though they don't hold much...
Sorry! I'm blabbering about iPods! But, anyway, if you have to buy a new iPod, make sure it fits all of your needs!

I hope that I helped!

When I play certain games, it won't work/load. It will just have a lil icon in the top left corner with a circle, triangle, and square in it or something. What can I do to fix this? I tried downloading the Shockwave player or whatever from Adobe.com to see if that would do anything, but it didn't. One of the games said I needed to the Shockwave plug-in? What is that? What do I need to download?

First of all, make sure you did all the instructions that Adobe gave (copied from website):

Installation Instructions


1. Click the "Install Now" button to begin installing Adobe Shockwave Player.
2. Read and click through the dialog boxes that appear.
3. When the Adobe Shockwave Player movie begins to play, your installation is successful.

-------
If that doesn't work, go to their support page:

I started talking to this boy on AIM one day(about 2 years ago). he is a year older then me (im 13). he had a girlfriend when we started talking but i think i got in the way and they eventually broke up. he lived in a different state then me, but he is my best friend. I love him. I really do. Sometimes you love a person for their looks or how they kiss you. but ive never met him, so i know its honest to god love.a few months ago we stopped talking for about a month in a half, and now we are back to the way it was before. we call each other like 3 times a day and stuff. but over christmas and winter break (now) we have barely said a word to each other. he has no more texts this month and he wont really answer my calls. but everytime he does answer them he tells me he is with a friend or he is busy or something. This boy is really my life, i would call him every mornning be4 we went to school and when i got home from school. and we would be on the phone for hours. we even had phone sex. But now that he wont talk to me, i dont know what to do. my days are going by slow. And i miss him.About a month ago he told me he didnt know why we stopped talking, and that he would never want that to happen again. so why is he being such a jerk now and leaving me hanging alll the time? I cry over him almost everyday =[

THanks! Please help

I partially agree with the previous answer. You don't really know who he is, or if he was just talking to you for perverted reasons.

Anyways, you'll get over him. It sounds like he's ignoring you, which isn't very nice, but none-the-less, he's moving on. I advise you do the same. You'd be better off finding some guy at school (assuming you're not home-schooled), that you think is cute, nice, etc. instead of chasing after some guy you don't know.

I hope you make a good decision!

What island were you at before you have to go through the fog?
There's a specific pattern to sail through it that you can find on that island...
Sorry! I can't remember very well, but here's a list of walkthroughs:

female

the back of my neck has a lot of hair on it and its pretty long. its also dark and thick so its really noticable when i put my hair up. its really embarassing. what should i do?

If it's long enough, you can use barrettes to pin it to the back part of your hair when you have your hair in a ponytail.

I have a Sony Vaio NR and I was wondering, is it okay for my laptop to be on my lap? Would it get too hot and then slow down the computer?
Also, I kept my laptop connected to the charger even though it was charged--would that damage the battery or decrease battery life?
Thanks!

Keep your legs opened, so the hot air can vent. If the fan/vent is on the bottom, make sure that is not covered up!
I don't think keeping the charger in the laptop would damage the battery, but it might be better to unplug it every now and then! But what will damage the battery is if you leave your laptop on a desk or something and it gets too hot, it might make the battery leak or melt. (Same with the hard drive and fan inside the computer, if they get too hot, they can get seriously damaged!)

Hope I helped

Can anybody help me with my problem? im 13 going on 14 and i need money but i dont know any places that hire at 14 can some one tell me where to start looking.

You can't make minimum wage at 13, and you'll be lucky if you get a decent job.
The best thing to do is like baby-sitting. (O.K., not the best choice, but if you live in a rich community, they'll pay a lot.) Or you could mow lawns! (If you can find an old lady's house, it's even better, they tend to pay more.)
Hope I helped!

someone is saying that i am stalking a guy that i dont even care for but i used to like a lot how can i handle this and will karma come around and do the same thing to them

Just ignore them. As long as you know the truth, it doesn't matter.
Oh! You can always confront the guy and talk it over with him. (It's always better to go to the source instead of the mob, and also there's less of a chance that you will have to physically fight them if you talk to the guy).
If you believe in karma it will, I guess. But don't rely on karma too much, you might jinx it. Try to solve the matter instead of waiting for them to "get a taste of their own medicine" -- which would be stooping down to their level.
Hope I helped!

So you've probably all heard about jamie lynn spears being pregnant

But I'm curious to hear every ones opinion on this .

Good or bad what are your opinions on jamie lynn spears being pregnant at 16 do you all think its a bad influence on youngsters? What do you all think ?

Jessica Martinez, - Seventeen Magazine

I think she should have gotten an abortion. I mean, put yourself in the eyes of the baby! Do you want to have a young mother who is being criticized by [almost] everyone?
I also think that her pregnancy was also just a cry out for attention. I had completely forgotten Britney Spears had a sister before Jamie was all over the news!
I think Jamie was aiming for a more mature look by not getting an abortion, but I think it is childish to use a baby to gain the spotlight once more.
Jamie should have used another way to make herself more noticeable!

First of all, I'm a girl and my friend is a guy. We're both in high school. I like him, and he knows it, but we are still really good friends, even though it did hold us down for a while. Anyway, there are several things I need help on. 1 is that he has a girlfriend, which he says he loves, but he is always depressed and afraid of being hurt, and thinks she doesn't care enough about him, which might be true, but he's always telling me about how sad he is, and I care about him a lot, but I don't know how to help him. I want him to feel better. I want to be there for him when he needs me. 2 is that I really like him. A lot. I wish there was away I could show him that I care more than he'll ever know, and I'm the one he needs. When he describes what he wants, it's what I want too, but he likes this other girl. I was fine with them being together at first, because he was happy and she was becoming my friend, but then she became bitchy to me and he was always depressed. I need advice. Thanks.

You should tell him how you feel about his girlfriend, and make it sound like a concerned friend (which you are).
If he truly believes that his girlfriend is what he wants and needs, then you should respect that =/ I know that can be painful.
If he agrees that he doesn't need his girlfriend, then don't go for the kill and confess to him, give him time to heal.
Since he knows you like him, he might like you in return, but doesn't want to ruin your friendship.
He might not like you like as a potential girlfriend, and doesn't want to admit to that and ruin your friendship. You'll hurt if he tells you that, and your friendship won't be stable.
I hope I helped!

get a code so you can comment every one of your friends at once saying the same thingg?

No, you'll have to post one to each, sorry.
But you can post a bulletin saying your message!
(though people don't check those as much)

What do i do if my friend uploaded a video on youtube and many people called her a chink with many other racist comments? Is making racists comments about their nationality a good idea?

Just ignore what people say!
It's best to rule out race completely when you talk to other people (online or in real life).
You never know what might offend someone!

What is the best camera for taking pictures of people. Preferably under $1000 Thanks

I have a Kodak Easyshare V1003.
It fits in my pocket, and starts up really quickly.
It takes 10 mega pixel photos, which means they're of high quality. (so whenever I crop out some of the picture, it doesn't look blurry or anything)
It takes a picture in about 1-4 seconds (depending on your distance from your subject)
It has 23 different settings for taking pictures (including a setting for subjects in motion).
It only cost about $350 at Target. So, it's not very expensive.
For editing pictures I usually use the software that comes with it.
Hope I helped!

i have an apple mac book with adobe photoshop

if i download the brushes for it from most sites, will it be compatible with mac? or is only for windows?

or does it have to specify somewhere on the site?

I haven't had any problems with the whole compatibility thing for brushes, and I own a mac with Photoshop CS3 (and CS2).
It's the same format of file, but I guess it depends where you downloaded the brush from.

okay
so i got the new ipod nano for christmas
and i think i already broke it
okay
so i go to i tunes to go and puc songs onto my ipod
and my sis already had an ipod so i already had itunes downloaded(she has the normal ipod nano)
but when i stuck my ipod on it says i need the newwer version
so i downloaded the newer version which is a 7.5 or 7.4(i can't member)
and then it said something about how i need to restore my ipod on itunes
so i go to the summary tab and i click restore
and everytime i try to turn my ipod on it won't turn on
it'll say go to itunes and restore
and i've done it a couple of times now
but nothing is working
so if you have any odeas on how to fix it
that would be nice
and if you can tell me how you put songs onto your ipod can help also
b/c i don't think itunes helps

First of all: when you 'restore' your iPod, you basically reset it, it takes all the music off of the iPod, and resets all the settings.
About the iTunes thing, make sure that you have the correct version of whatever OS (operating system, like Mac or Windows Vista/XP/98) the iTunes download page says it needs. Like if you're using Windows XP, you might have accidentally downloaded the Windows Vista version.
Oh, and to put music on your iPod:
Like, when you plug in your iPod to your computer, in iTunes it should have your iPod as an option in the side-menu thing. If not, your computer might not be recognizing your iPod... which is a whole different problem. Anyways, go to your music (it should be the first option in the side menu thing in iTunes). Go to which songs you want on your iPod, and drag it to the iPod in the side menu thing I was talking about earlier.

I hope I helped
^-^
