Am ready to scream. Have read and re-read the "manual". Nothing is working. I'm trying to stay away from sharp objects!!!

Have tried unsuccessfully to program and download i-tunes. Nothing seems to be working

    Mt computer has been freezing up on me lately and I think it messed up my Ipod when it quit right in the middle of downloading and got shut off.

    That's because you jailbroke your phone. You can't get help here.

    I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

    Troubleshooting
    As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

  • Having problems charging my ipod shuffle on my new laptop.  Any suggestions?

    Having challenges getting my Ipod shuffle to charge on my new laptop???
    When I plug it into the USB the lights blinks orange and then goes blank?

    USB ports are notoriously iffy, especially those on keyboards.  Try a port right on the CPU.  If you've already done that, this may be a good investment.

  • HELP PLEASE! I am having trouble charging my iPod Mini 4GB

    I am having trouble charging my iPod Mini 4GB. I used it for approx 30 minutes until it died, and it will not charge. I have tried charging it through the USB port and also the wall charger - but nothing comes on the screen to say it is in the process of charging and it will not switch on. The trouble shooting section of the manual says there should be a thunder flash icon?? Any ideas please?
    Could it be the internal battery at fault? Shall I buy a new one from Maplin?

    my iPod mini is doing the same thing. i'll charge it all night through a wall charger (all connections seem to be ok, the charging icon appears on the screen). but i'll take it off and turn it on for not even 5 minutes and it wil turn off! i charged it for about a week once and i took it off the charger for again, 5 minutes, and the thing turned off on me. i've sent my iPod in for service before because it was frozen, but this battery issue hasn't happened to me until recently.
    if i send my iPod in for a replacement, what kind will i get back? one of my friends said that if i sent it back in, i would get a 2GB nano. thats not enough!! how do i get more?

  • Trouble restoring my iPod Shuffle (error 1418)

    So this is my specification of my iPod:
    http://support.apple.com/specs/ipod/iPod_shuffle.html
    I have a machine of Windows Vista and it is a notebook.
    My iPod worked absolutely well with my machine and my iTunes for some days.
    About a month ago, there was a prompt talking about I need a Windows Update patch installed as removing iPod from a Vista machine eventually hurts the iPod.
    I checked every detail with Microsoft.com, Apple.com as well as Google.com and decided to patch my OS with the given link.
    However the installer said the update did not apply to my system.
    "Ok, then, let's forget it", I thought and just forget about it.
    Just for a few song syncs, I found that there is always some error for the iPod and I have to restore it to get it sync.
    As well as there is some way to update my songs, I don't mind to do extra steps.
    Then, yesterday, I tried the same thing.
    Sync it, ok, can't, then, restore.
    However, it comes out an error 1418.
    Retry, the same.
    Retry again and again, the same again and again.
    Then, I started with Googling. And eventually tried to disconnect it and reconnect it when restoring, which is suggested by this site:
    http://www.javatyger.com/2007/02/solution-to-ipods-evil-1418-error.html
    Then, to Apple support.......
    I tried the iPod Shuffle Restore Tool, sorry, not for Vista.
    Then, I tried to use an old version of iPod updater to restore it, can't.
    Now, I have the following symptoms:
    1. iTunes, Windows explorer, actually everything in my machines can recognize the iPod.
    2. iTunes cannot sync. the content.
    3. iTunes cannot restore the iPod and gives error 1418 when trying to do so.
    4. Windows explorer shows iPod in My Computer, clicking its property, it shows no memory space used nor free.
    5. Cannot format the iPod as treating it like an external storage device. Using right-click->format gives no response while using "format I:" in cmd.exe gives "Error in IOCTL Call".
    6. No trace of the iPod having any memory judging from its property and Disk Management.
    I hope these information could help figuring out the solution and I will be very thankful with anyone's help.

    I have had the same problem with 2 different ipods. I eventually was able to reset one (using the restore utility and Windows XP. When I got back to the main setup screen asking me to name my ipod, i left the autofill box checked. Then when itunes loaded i clicked autofill. Now I have ALL my songs on one ipod but cannot take any songs off it or change playlists.
    If you haven't already, try this link http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508 and go thru all the instructions on your XP machine, and see if you get to the same point I am at now. If you do, welcome to a whole new world of frustration!!! then maybe we can figure out what to do from there.
    GOOD LUCK!!!

  • Hello, I'm having trouble with my ipod

    hello, I'm having trouble with my ipod

    Holding down the center/select button and the menu button will reboot your ipod. See if that helps. Also, I'd recommend something else- I had nothing but trouble with my ipod classic until I spent $20 to get Mac OS Mountain Lion. It did what you said and sometimes wouldnt play, or wouldnt power on...
    Try rebooting your ipod and let me know what happens and maybe in the future obtain Mountain Lion to aide your ipod in functionality.
    Good luck!

  • Having trouble connecting my ipod to iTunes and mac

    Today my ipod decided to stop working altogether and not play anything. Literally, I was listening to a song and the next song never played. Couldn't figure out why, so I came on here and tried the 5 R's.
    I want to restore my ipod (because obviously nothing else I did, worked), but I can't even connect it to my MacBook Pro, let alone, see it in itunes. I just want to see of restoring it might actually fix it before I do anything involving the apple store.
    There's all sorts of threads about having troubles connecting ipods to PC's, but nothing I could find about connecting them to Macs.
    I know for sure the USB wire is fine. I downloaded the new version of itunes and blah blah blah...it's definitely all the ipod, but I can't seem to come up with any other solution than to go to an apple store.
    I only bought this within the last year and just recently started using it on a regular basis.
    If anyone would like to shed some light on what might've happened, please let me know! I'd be so grateful! Thanks!

    Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode

    If that works, connect it to the Mac. See if it is now recognized by the Mac and iTunes. If it is, use Restore to erase the iPod and initialize its software.

  • Trouble with new iPod Shuffle

    I just replaced my old iPod shuffle with a brand new iPod Shuffle.   When I try to sync with iTunes it says I need to upgrade to iTunes 10.0 or later but when I try to upgrade iTunes it tells me I need Mac OS X 10.5 or later. I just want my iPod to work... Any ideas?

    What OS X is your mac running? whether this has an affect.. Mac OS X version 10.5.8 is the operating system needed to run iTunes 10.6.

  • Having major problems with iPod Shuffle, please help!!

    Okay, I have a 2nd iPod shuffle and it just will not connect to my computer. I've used to adaptor that came with it and it worked once but I only added a couple of songs and I want to add more now but I can't! The light blinks orange 3-4 times and nothing happens on my PC. I borrowed my friends charger and absoloutly nothing happens with his. But I can still charge it because I have a USB wall charger which I can connect my charger to and it charges perfectly with that. So, naturally I thought there was something wrong with my PC/USB sockets. So, I tried it on my friends computer - same results as with mine. I can't use the reset utility though because I'm running Windows 7 on 64 bit and there's no download out there for that. Please help somebody - I really want to add more songs to my iPod, and this is becoming really frustrating. :/

    Okay, so maybe I wasn't clear enough when I said nothing happens on my PC? Well, literally nothing at all happens on my PC, it doesn't show up in My Computer or iTunes.
