I have to keep resetting my ipod

in the past few weeks i've had to reset my ipod to factory settings twice.i plug in the pod and itunes gives me a pop up that said that itunes could not retrieve information from the ipod and to reset to factory settings.does anyone know what might be going on that i have to keep doing this?

Hi Patrick,
I tried that last night, and unfortunately still had the same problem. I have now arranged to return the iPod in exchange for a replacement. Hopefully this was a one off! Thanks anyway.
I'd be interested to hear of any other advice in case it happens again when I receive my replacement!

Why do I have to keep resetting my iPod classic 80gb?

Hi all
I received my black iPod classic 80GB yesterday (replacing one I had stolen, which until that point I had absolutely no problems with).
I am manually updating this iPod, so am importing albums to my MacBook iTunes and then connecting my iPod, adding the music, and ejecting then disconnecting my iPod.
If I then leave it for between half an hour / an hour (while importing another artist), the iPod does not respond to any key touches. I have to reset it before there is any life in it. Also, when I pressed play this morning to see if it was still happening, the first thing it did was show the Apple logo (as if it had just reset itself without my toggling hold or pressing down menu and centre for 6 seconds).
Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong?
Please help. This is very annoying!

All of a sudden, my ipod touch will only recognize/play purchased items. I then have to completely reset the ipod and re-sync. I've had to do this 6 times, and support has been no help.

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

I have tried to reset my ipod and everything but yet its still not turning on?

I have tried to reset my ipod and everything but yet its still not turning on?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have had to reset my iPod Classic 160gb but each time I connect to my itunes it keeps saying it is in recovery and should be restored. When I restore it, it just tells me I need to restore it again. Can anyone help?

I have a Sonos system with an ipod dock and was experiencing problems when using my ipod. The people at Sonos suggested resetting my ipod, so I did. Now, unfortunatey, my ipod isn't working properly. When I connected it to my itunes it said that it was in recovery mode and should be restored. I restored it and a message said it would appear in my itunes. But it just keeps saying that it needs to be restored. I've tried removing my itunes software and reloading it again but nothing changed.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I have an iPod touch 4th generation and after sending emoji it no longer works. Every time I try to open iMessage it closes. I have already tried resetting and restarting my iPod and neither has worked.

Have you tried getting rid of emoji?

Have to keep resetting hub 3.0

I have had infinity since the 8th of march the problem is I have to keep unplugging and resetting my home hub 3.0 I get speeds of about 30mb through ethernet connection and about 20mb wireless about 24 hours after I reset the hub my wireless keeps dropping to about 1mb but when I plug it in with the ethernet it is about 30mb so I turn it off and then my wireless gets back up to max speed, I phoned support last night and he did some changes from his end and said he would keep and eye on it it stayed alright up until about an hour ago and has dropped to 5mb surely it should not keep doing this is 5mb about normal for this time of day or is there a problem with the home hub 3.0

Could be local wireless interference? I take it you've tried the usual "change wireless channel" trick. The HH3 "auto" setting should be loads better than previous routers though. May be worth looking at "inSSIDer" (google/download) to see how busy spectrum is.
Also worth checking your wireless drivers PC-side & ensure you have the latest?
Can you try another device/laptop?
I've found HH3 to be excellent from a wireless perspective

Why do I have to regularly reset my iPod?

I recently upgraded to the 5th gen. 30GB iPod with video. I am noticing that I have to reset my iPod quite regularly, sometimes daily. I happens at the beginning of the day when I go to turn it on after it has been off all night. Is this normal? Is it a sign of something possibly being wrong with it? Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry but I don't have much
experience with that one. I had it happen once with
my year+ old 30GB iPod and never with my (since
February) 80GB. The one I get a lot on the 80GB is
the semi lockup where everything on the iPod works
except actually playing music. Screen shows playing
but the song doesn't actually advance. I have had to
reset a lot for that one, but not for your
condition.
By the way, when you turn it on in the morning, how
are you doing it? Normally, at least in my case, I
switch the hold slide to OFF then hit the menu button
to wake up the iPod which normally starts up with the
Apple logo. Are you doing that or something different
or expect different results?
Patrick
Normally, I would just hold down the play/pause button and it would turn on (that's how it worked with my 20g 4th gen that I have) even if it was off all night. With my 30g 5th gen, I have to hold the center button and menu button to get the Apple logo to appear and wait maybe 30 seconds for the menu to appear. I haven't tried the lock button and menu button as you described, but I will next time and see if that works. Thanks.

I have to keep resetting my Time Capsule

I got a new MacBook Pro and I have to keep setting up the Time Capsule. It will work for awhile, like part of a day, and then I get the message that the backup was delayed and I reset the TC and set it up again. The TC is not new. I used it with my other computer which is a MacBook. I used the TC to set up everything from that onto my new MacBook Pro. Also, the TC feels very hot to the touch.
Thanks!

Hot to the touch is a bit hard to quantify, but if you cannot hold your hand on top of the device reasonably comfortably, the device is running too hot.
Make sure that there is plenty of airspace on all sides of the Time Capsule
Invest in a USB laptop cooler to rest the Time Capsule on
If it still runs too hot, you are risking further damage to the device. You'll need to take it to an Apple store to let them have a look.

Why do I have to keep resetting home sharing to work

Why do I have to keep turning off home sharing and then turning it back on to watch movies from my mac mini to my tv via apple tv? I just bought apple tv brand new from the apple store yesterday. My mac mini also has the latest update.

Hello jdebie,
Congratulations on your new Apple TV! I would be concerned too if I had to turn Home Sharing off and then back every time I wanted to use it. I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

Have to keep resetting iphone to get coverage back? Help

In the last week my phone coverage blanks out. It's all good if I reset the phone but only temporarily. Just recently (2 days ago) I installed the new firmware 2.2.1. plus the carrier settings update. Any ideas?

I am having the same issue. I as well updated to 2.2.1 a few days ago and I'm having the same issue. I also updated the carrier settings. My phone calls keeps dropping even tho I have full service and the other night I completly lost service and I was at home were I always have full service. It kept saying searching and I kept restetting my phone (until the Apple logo came on) and still no luck. I eventually went to bed and in the am the service was back.
I called AT&T first and she said the area of PR I live in has full service so she dosnt understand why I would lose service or have dropped calls. She also said she doubts it's the sim card as I just got it in December. They said a tech engineer would contact me before Tuesday to do some more troubleshooting over the phone but she thinks it's the a problem with the iPhone and she said it will most likely have to be replaced.
So wish me luck!

Have to keep resetting the service number

I have got a new i phone 4s and my old i phone 3 number was transfered over to my micro sim in store, the problem I am having is ever day I have to reset the service number as it keep going back to a pay monthly one and im on pay as you go. is there any ideas on what to do

Hp pavilion dv6, I have to keep resetting my playback tone contols after sart up

When I start my hp pavilion dv6, i have to reset my playback tone contols and the "apply" option is greyed out. How can I keep my tone setting as the default setting for my speakers?

You guys probably resolved this by now but just in case you haven't I have been having the problem for about a week now. I bought a customized dv6t Entertainment notebook in July but recently didn't want the Beats audio manager on at startup so i went to msconfig and disable IDT audio from the startup menu. That's when everytime I turned on my computer the tone controls went crazy, with the bass all the way down and the treble all the way up. So after some testing I found out how to fix me. Even though it has been 8 months since you asked about this, here is my SOLUTION.
1. Using the Sound Manager set your tone controls to the desired levels or just click reset to zero.
2. Click the start button and type msconfig in the search bar. Hit enter.
3. The System Configuration box will appear. Click on the third tab that says Services.
4. Click the bar that says Service to arrange the programs alphabetically.
5. You should see Audio Service with the manufacturer being IDT, Inc. if not then scroll down til you see it.
6. Uncheck Audio Service. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the page then the OK button.
7. You will be prompted to restart your computer and then do so.
8. That's it! Once your computer restarts the tone control levels should be where you left them.
If you are having problems with this, it may be because you don't have IDT PC Audio disabled at startup which can also be done in msconfig one tab over from Services. This launches the Beats Audio Manager at startup but just disabling the Audio Service may do this in one fell swoop. Hope this helps, even after all these months!
