Hello to all!

I just went and bought myself an Ipod a couple of days ago. When I plug it up to the USB port, nothing comes up. I've used the port before for my camera. I tried plugging in my camera too but nothing happened. The little icon doesn't pop up in the bottom bar showing that the USB port is in use. I don't know if anything came unplugged or what. Any advice? Anything I should look for? I really don't want to take the stupid computer to the shop. :(

It's probably the ipod. Mine did that when I first got it. I had to contact the support center to work out the bugs. Try reinstalling the ipod software, from there you can hit the reset on the ipod. It should tell you how to in the paperwork.

Oops! I forgot to even install the software. So, you go to the the site and download itunes, right? When you do that, do you open or save it?

Ashley, I don't have an iPod. But my guess is, that your iPod came with an installation C D to download, so your computer will recognize it. And then, yes, I suppose you probably should download iTunes as well.

actually, your computer should recognize it without installing the software that came with it (part of the amusing thing that is usb). the fact that your camera *also* was not recognized suggests that it is a problem with the usb port, not the ipod. if you have, or know anyone who has, a usb drive (thumb drive, whatever you call it), try that as well. make sure to give the computer plenty of time, and to look in "my computer" (assuming a pc).

but, almost any computer these days (in the past seven years, really) has more than one usb port. try them all before giving up. it's not that uncommon to have one fail, but others still work just fine. (you may have to use one in the back of the machine, not at the front, however.)

Nope, No C-D just a bunch of vague instructions that pretty much worthless if you run into a problem. Thanks though Ursula and Generic!

Tiffany, it was the USB port. I went to my uncle's yesterday and it came up just fine. I tried it again on my computer but nothing. When I hook it to one the usb ports, it feels loose. The other fits fine but nothing came up and nothing new was in my computer. So it looks like my computer gets to take a field trip to the shop lol. Thanks for everything!

If you haven't already, try a different cable.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
