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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
