EMERGANCY! i think i just broke my ipod by changing the settings

Hi, im a little stuck with something.

  • I think iTunes just gave my iPod a heart attack...

    Okay so I just installed the latest version of iTunes on my new laptop and plugged my iPod (nano G7) in. It connected fine and everything, but wouldn't transfer my files from my iPod to my iTunes. As I was searching to a solution to this, my iPod's memory suddenly was blank (except for the little bit used by the factory settings). I don't have it set up to sync automatically, and I hadn't tried to restore my iPod to factory settings. Assuming that iTunes was just showing me what would happen if I DID sync, I ejected my iPod. However, when I checked my music and TV shows, all my files were gone. I plugged my iPod back in, hoping to recover my files, when my computer said that the iPod was in recovery mode, and had to be set to factory settings to be used. So it started resetting, then said it had been set to factory settings and was now in recovery mode. It then prompted me to go through this cycle again, and when it had finished resetting my iTunes suddenly stopped working. This happened three more times. Now, I can't turn on or charge my iPod, and upon connecting it to my computer iTunes comes up with the following error: "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. The server does not support this version of iTunes", and gave me the option to select "ok" or "more information". The "more information" option takes me to this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 which is utterly useless. I can connect my iPod to my computer by holding the power and menu buttons at the same time while plugging the cable in, but holding these two buttons does not turn it on and plugging my iPod in doesn't turn it on in any way either. If there is anyone who could help me resolve this issue and even just get my iPod back to factory settings, that would be great. There's no apple store anywhere near where I live.

    Just an update, my iPod nano still doesn't work. I bought a new iPod touch, the newest generation, and as soon as I tried putting any music on it from iTunes on my PC it started the same problem I had before. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but still no luck. Obviously the USB cable isn't the problem since I got a new one with the new iPod. I just want to use my iPod for what it's meant for; to listen to music. Would be awesome if I could get some helpful replies of others who have had this problem and suggestions on how to fix it.

    iCloud + Restoring my ipod question.
    I just restored my ipod touch for the first time because it was unreadable in itunes, and I had manually backed up my ipod to iCloud prior.
    The ipod is restored, but cloud not downloading any of my messages and pictures, and the other files that iCloud claims to back up?
    How do I put these on my restored itouch?
    Thanks everyone

    What messages? What app? The backup includes Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS),
    What photos? How did the photos get on the iPod
    The backup only includes photos in the iPod's camera roll album.

  • Can i change the settings on my ipod touch 4th generation from my computer

    please help!  My daughter has lost her ipod touch and for some dumb reason she turned off her location services.  Is there any way to remotely change the settings on her ipod from my computer?

    - To fix yourself see:

    It says where to get parts.
    - Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

  • How do I change the settings on my ipod so that it plays continuous music.  Right now, it plays the same song over and over, even if I select the shuffle icon.  It used to show the continuous play icon, it doesn't anymore.

    Right click on a movie(in iTunes), and click "get info" then go to album artwork and add the artwork that you want...

    Assuming you didn't take your iPod apart, Apple will do an out-of-warranty "repair" on a broken iPod.  They will replace your 4g 64gb iPod with a refurbished one for $199 (+S&H, if you don't take it to an Apple store). 

  • My mom just replace a iPod touch because the power button broke so she took it to the apple store and they replaced it when she got it it didn't work well so she called the apple store and they didn't do anything

    My mom just got a iPod touch and it won't work well

    She should go back to the Apple Store and set up a genius Bar appointment and have the iPod replaced.

  • I just bought a iPod 5 and the lighting cable won't charge.

    So I just bought the iPod 5 and then it says 20% battery. So I get the charging cable and plug it into my computer and to my iPod 5. When I plug it in it does nothing. I try wiggling it around restarting my iPod 5 and everything I could possibly think of. But it was no use my iPod 5 wouldn't charge.

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • I just updated my Ipod touch to the newest software and now I can not get any of my songs to sync onto my Ipod. All of my songs were wiped from my Ipod but are still in my library and playlists on my computer, but when I click sync none of it works

    So I updated my Ipod touch to the newest software on my pc laptop which is windows 7. The software update wiped all of my songs and apps off of my Ipod. This is not that big of a deal because the songs and apps are still in my library and apps folder in itunes on my computer. The problem is, when I go to sync all my songs and apps back onto my ipod the tracks and apps are not syncing. It's almost as if the computer thinks all the songs are still already on the ipod but they are not. What do I do here?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.

  • I just updated my IPOD and now the only apps that open are the ones that came on it! what do i need to do?

    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If not successful try downloading/installing a new app. Pick a small free app.

  • I have my iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID.  My daughter tried to change the settings on the ipod so that she could facetime on both her ipod and iphone which is on a separate Apple ID.  I no longer have a 3G connection.

    I have an iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID.  My daughter who uses the ipod tried to change the apple ID on the ipod to be the same with her apple ID on her own Iphone so that she can use facetime on both devices.  Not sure what she did but my 3G connection is no longer working.

    Changing Facetime settings on an iPod will have no affect on cellular settings on an iPhone. Something else is going on there. If she did not change any settings on the phone, then nothing she did could affect your celluar 3G.

  • I used my iphone to send a message in French. I have changed the settings back to English but when I send a text or write a message it still thinks I am typing in French. Any suggestions?

    Any thoughts on how to resolve the above ? Namely I went into settings changed the language to French. Sent a message to soemone in France in French. Went back to settings selected British English. Reset the phone into English, But it still thinks it is 'French' when sending a message or text. Have gone back to settings tried to reset the keyboard to original factory settings. No joy. Switched the phone on and off. No joy, It still assumes it is French when sending a text or email even though the settings are all set for English. Any suggestions on  how to resolve tbis ???

    Amazing response. Unbelievably fast. Totally helpful. Totally
    accurate.
    A thousand thanks
