80G Classic Ipod Stuck in Reset Loop, Please Help
Hello,
My Ipod (80G classic) is stuck in the continuous reset loop showing only the apple logo. I have tried restoring it numerous times, to no avail. I have also tried uninstalling itunes and re-installing it, different versions also, this does not work either.
This is very frustrating, and I am finding no help on the apple site. Any suggestions?
I'm not clear if you've actually managed to get iTunes to restore the iPod yet. These steps should make it possible. Hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until the iPod resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Connect the iPod to your computer, closing iTunes if it opens. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors*. Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you should be able to start iTunes and complete the restore process. I'd suggest you don't rush to put back all your music in one go. Test that the iPod works with a smaller playlist first.

My 3g 30gb ipod is continually reseting itself- please help
hello, my first post on apple support so thank you for looking.
my 3g 30gb has ceased to work!- every time i try to turn it on it displays the apple logo for about 10seconds then this disapears very briefly then after another 5 seconds the logo disapears and this process starts again it does this continual reseting until it ran out of battery! very annoying
I tried to connect it to my mac to see in vein if this would make it snap out of what its doing - it didn't.
has anyone else experainced this?, or heard of anyone having this problem.
any words of advice greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance
JI was about to post the same issue, when I saw this one. My 60gb photo iPod for Windows has the same problem. I would restore it, but it never starts up all the way to be able to run the Update/Restore software.
I start it up, and it displays the apple for about 5-8 seconds, then starts up again. If left alone, it will continue to do this until the battery runs dead. All the while, in a quiet room, you can hear the "bweee... bweee... bweee..." of the drive spinning up from a dead stop every time it restarts.
If anyone has any ideas at all, I'd love to know if this was a software or hardware problem and if there is any way to fix a software problem without being able to start the ipod. Is there some equivalent of "safe mode" for a desktop? -
IPod Stuck in Recovery Mode Please help!
Hi,
I have a an iPod touch 2g which I turned off one day and it never turned on again. I plugged it into iTunes and it shows the iPod in the main window with the restore button and the check for update screen. Before I have a chance to press anything, a window pops up saying, iTunes ha detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore your iPod before you can use it again. When I click OK the iPod ejects so I cannot restore it. Every time it does this. Ive tried everything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you!Hi there mmimadi,
It may seem a bit repetitive, but I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. If the issues persist, there a a few other things we can try.

80g Classic Ipod suddenly stopped playing movies!
Help! My 80g Classic Ipod suddenly stopped playing movies! Is there any hope?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try resetting the iPod...
Resetting iPod
If that doesn't work, make sure everything is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If the problem persists, see if a restore helps...
Restore the iPod
Also, is this with all videos or purchased ones? Do purchased songs work fine?
Finally, see if this sample video works (the one for the iPod)...

Trying to reset/restore my daughters ipod, but no matter what advice I get, nothing works. There is no summary tab on itunes to restore/reset. PLEASE HELP!
Without knowing current status of the iPod:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

i brought an iphone 4 factory unlock and it is linked with an icloud id of previous owner, i dont even know id of icloud , 1 week ago i restore my iphone 4 n got stuck in activation screen, please help me out please?
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

please help. ive bought a second hand ipod nano, when i connect it to my pc, it does not recognise it in itunes,yet it comes up as a sigma mass usb device. its an ipod nano 8gb?. im running on windows vista,my own ipod classic runs fine.
there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit. -
2nd Generation Ipod touch stuck in recovery. PLEASE HELP!
My 2nd Generation Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode. At least i think it's recovery mode, the connect to itunes thing comes up and won't go away when I try to turn it on. I am willing to restore it but Itunes won't let me. When I press restore, an error comes up that says "The Ipod software update server could not be contacted." I have NEVER had any problems with this ipod before, except that it's a natural piece of crap, but yeah, it has worked completely fine until today when it randomly turned off (it may have died) and is now in recovery mode. It is not jailbroken or modified in any way. Also where Itunes usually gives you your ipod information I get this;
Name: Ipod
Capacity: n/a
Software Version: n/a
Serial Number: n/a
Please help me....Try:
