I have a 1st gen iPod mini that I use with my MacBook and have no problems at all. That is really strange that yours just quit working like that. Did you install the new ipod softw…

nope...nothing different from the times it worked before. its really driving me batty.

i changed firewire cables and its workin fine now...weird

correct me if I'm wrong. But the firewire connectors aren't officially made for the 5G iPods are they? I've heard that although they may work, they won't work as good as they wil…

Firewire cables only work to charge the 5G iPods. But the poster didn't say anything about having a 5G iPod.

Maybe, but if he says that everything was working fine until yesterday, and that after changing to a different firewire cable "everything is working fine" I think it's safe to assu…

whoops...itss a 40gb 3rd gen ipod (the last all white ipod ). my bad for the confusion people.

Hi all This has happened twice in the past week. I hit the power button on the black MacBook. Instantly, instead of seeing the apple startup logo, my screen is filled with vertical…

anyone?

I had the exact same thing happen. It happens to my MB when I let it go to sleep while attached to an external DVI monitor. While sleeping, if I disconnect it, and then wake it u…

At least yours goes back to normal. Mine is stuck at that screen with lines. No matter how long I leave it. It just happened again. I took a picture of it... http://images17.fotki.…

I imagine you're going to have to take it to Apple and let them have a looksee.

my thoughts exactly. so what should i do about this? anyone else having this annoying problem?

Exactly the same here. It occurs after updating to Mac OS X 10.4.7 and QT 7.2.1 (both via Software Update). Reseting the PRAM does fix my problem temporarily. Few hours later the…

Same here after 10.4.7 and QT 7.2.1. Developed sudden shutdown twice several seconds post wake-up. Restarting after resetting PMU resulted in the vertical lines. The screen start…

Same here. Happened after the 10.4.7 update, and again today. Zapping P-Ram lets me boot.

Threads like this make me want to wait at least a month before buying my MB.

Just reapplied the 10.4.7 combo update. The machine immediately went back to colored vertical lines when it restarted after applying the update. Zapping PRAM got it to boot again. …

How do we revert back to 10.4.6?

Just out of interest, did those of you who are experiencing this problem update via the Software Update App, i,e, normal update, or did you download the Combo Update off the Apple …

I have two macbooks, one that is having the problem and one which isn't. Both were updated to 10.4.7 using the combo updater. Here's a post I made at apple discussions which seem…
