Denver Residential Area Map / Population Density Map?

[edit]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out where people actually live in Denver. Does anyone know where I could get a map of the residential / commercial zones or the population density?

http://www.census.gov/ is a good place to start. --Jayron32 05:29, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

iPod Woes

[edit]

I was gifted an iPod Nano two years back. A few days ago, it fell from my computer desk while charging, and from that moment on, it's touch sensitive wheel has stopped working, and the display screen's frozen on the language menu. Googling turned up results as diverse as people telling others to paint the wheel with varnish, or sticking scotch tape, and even trying to bang the device against a hard surface to unstick the hard drive. Needless to say, none of these remedies have worked for me... Causing me to turn up here, hoping for a better answer.. Please help fix my iPod. It's a gift I'll be sorry to say goodbye to... And I'm sure the person who gave it to me won't be particularly happy either.. Please help me out guys..... 117.194.225.119 (talk) 06:27, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I really hope you didn't actually bang the device against a hard surface.... That could easily loosen more parts inside and break it even further, especially if the soldering job isn't that great, like on Nintendo DSes. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 06:43, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hitting a hard drive to unstick it is a well known technique, but you need to know what you are doing (a rubber mallet is preferable to hitting the drive against something). However, iPod Nano's don't have hard drives, they use flash memory, so trying to unstick it is a complete non-starter. --Tango (talk) 11:30, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So your warranty is expired then? —Akrabbimtalk 12:23, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is if you banged it on a hard surface. DJ Clayworth (talk) 15:43, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

iPod Nanos have a small swittch on the top that can be flicked to lock the ipod on the current screen, and can be activated by dropping. If a padlock icon is displayed at the top of the screen (Next to the battery bar) this is your problem. Library Seraph (talk) 13:57, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Try to lock and unlock it, then hold down two of the buttons at the same time, then lock and unlock it again and hey presto! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.172.58.82 (talk) 16:33, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Did you try all of these? --98.217.14.211 (talk) 22:48, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, my uncle (he gave me the iPod) didn't want to pay the extra taxes that are supposed to be paid if someone lugs a gift from abroad to India. So he kept all the papers, including warranty and proof of purchase, at his home in the US. All he gave me was the Quick Start instruction manual,which shows how to sync stuff, etc. Secondly, I tried resetting my iPod, reformatting it, even reinstalling the software, but it was of no use. And the padlock symbol is toggled on and off every time I toggle the Hold button. So that part's alright as well. Nothing seems to work.... 117.194.229.153 (talk) 05:23, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a link to how my iPod looks.. Don't know how that may help... But still... http://www.copytaste.com/hw39f75c 117.194.233.138 (talk) 06:38, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please, guys... Help me out... I'm really sweating with anxiousness now... It's been a long time since I received a decent answer... 117.194.229.128 (talk) 13:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
